  Ms. Inoka is an absolutely incredible Montessori teacher with the biggest heart. She gives everything to her students — her care, her patience, her love — and even brings them little gifts from her vacations because she thinks of them as her own children. Every time I visited her classroom, I was moved to tears watching the warm and gentle way she interacted with each child. Our son grew more in one year with her than we ever imagined. He started kindergarten shy and dependent, and by the time he graduated, he was confident, curious, and fully ready for 1st grade. He learned so much in her classroom, both academically and emotionally. She even gifted him his favorite book when he graduated — we still read it and think of her every time. We are forever grateful for the foundation she gave him. Ms. Inoka is truly a one-of-a-kind teacher, and any child who has her is incredibly lucky. Ms. Olivia is the most energetic and enthusiastic 1st grade teacher! She knows every student in her class so well and truly follows the Montessori philosophy in everything she does. Our child has grown and matured so much since the beginning of the school year. She teaches real life skills, independence, and encourages every child to thrive in their own strengths. We are so grateful for her dedication and the amazing environment she creates. Coach West (Ms. Ally) is an amazing PE teacher! She is incredibly knowledgeable, energetic, and truly passionate about helping kids build healthy habits. She teaches not only athletic skills, but also mindfulness and body awareness — which is so valuable at this age. My son comes home excited to tell me about the new exercises and games he learned in her class, and he’s proud of how much his running and movement skills have improved. Coach West creates such a positive, motivating environment, and we are so grateful for the impact she’s had. We are so grateful for Ms. Lilian, who makes Spanish fun, engaging, and meaningful for the kids. She is a native Spanish speaker, which is such a gift — the children get to learn proper pronunciation, authentic expressions, and real cultural connections directly from her. My son’s Spanish has improved so much this year, and he comes home excited to share new words, songs, and phrases. Ms. Lilian brings so much joy, energy, and passion to her teaching. We truly appreciate everything she does! A huge thank you to Principal Ms. Krista and the wonderful front desk team, Ms. Karyn and Jen! They run the school so smoothly and with such care. Ms. Krista’s leadership creates a positive and welcoming environment for students, teachers, and families alike. Karyn and Jen at the front desk are always friendly, organized, and ready to help, making every visit to the school a pleasant experience. Their teamwork and dedication truly keep everything running seamlessly. We feel so grateful to be part of such a well-managed and caring school community!

  We’ve been incredibly fortunate to be part of the LePort community for over ten years. My son has grown up at LePort—starting in the Mandarin program, then Westpark, and now the Spectrum North campus. With just a year and a half left before he graduates, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the amazing teachers and administrators who have guided him along the way. My son has truly grown up a happy child who loves school, and I attribute so much of that to LePort. I’m constantly told what a wonderful young man he is, and I believe the character-building foundation at LePort Montessori has been exceptional in shaping who he is today. At LePort Spectrum North, he has had the most caring and thoughtful teachers—Ms. Jacobs, Ms. Masha, Ms. Cassandra Kolacinski, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin. We are thoroughly enjoying the middle school program: it blends Montessori principles with strong academics and emphasizes helping others, self-discipline, time management, and critical thinking. During alumni night, every graduate shared that they felt extremely well prepared for high school after completing LePort’s middle school program. Thank you, Ms. K, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin, for everything you do! I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the phenomenal administrative team—Head of School Ms. Krista, Business Manager Ms. Karyn, and Admin Support Ms. Jen. You make the school run seamlessly, and I love the new subjects, events, and programs you bring to the community. Thank you—it has truly been a joy to be part of LePort.

  Our son has been at Leport Montessori Irvine Spectrum North for more than a year now.His teachers Ms Lumari, Ms Afi , Ms Lilian, Coach West and Ms Kat are truly exceptional. They create an environment where children feel deeply respected, valued, and understood. Their warmth is evident in every interaction beginning from greeting each child with kindness, encouraging independence, and celebrating each child’s unique pace and interests. You can see the love they put into preparing the environment and guiding the children as thoughtful observers. The admin team is just as wonderful. They are organized, responsive, and consistently supportive, making families feel welcomed and cared for from the moment they walk in. Our child comes home happy, curious, and excited to return each day. We are so grateful for the incredible educators and admin staff at LePort Irvine Spectrum North. Highly recommend!

  Our family has had such a wonderful experience with Ms. Samantha and Ms. Tasneem in the toddler program at LePort Montessori Spectrum North. From day one, both teachers have treated our son with such warmth, patience, and genuine care. They really helped him transition smoothly from being at home to enjoying his time in the classroom—something we were initially nervous about as parents. Every day, our son comes home happy, confident, and excited to share what he’s learned and done at school. You can truly see how much he enjoys being in Ms. Samantha’s class. It’s clear she takes her role to heart—she gives every child personal attention and makes sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged. We also love that Ms. Samantha has a deep understanding of what parents go through during this early stage—her own child went through the same program, and that extra layer of empathy really shows in how she cares for the kids. My wife and I feel completely at ease knowing our son is in such capable and loving hands. Thank you, Ms. Samantha and Ms. Tasneem, for making our son’s first school experience so positive and joyful. We couldn’t be happier!

  A heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Samantha and the LePort Montessori Spectrum North team We are so grateful for Ms. Samantha’s warmth, patience, and genuine care in guiding our son through his very first school experience. She made the transition so smooth and welcoming, turning what could have been a difficult milestone into a joyful beginning. Under her care, our son has gained confidence, learned English beautifully (we are a bilingual family), and become more independent through Montessori self-care routines. We especially appreciate her gentle support with potty training and her attentiveness to our child's emotional comfort. Ms. Samantha has truly helped our child thrive. We could not have asked for a more loving and dedicated teacher.
