  Our daughter has been attending this preschool for two and a half years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She started right when she turned three and is now graduating this May. Over the years, we have seen her grow tremendously, both socially and academically. The teachers are exceptionally kind, supportive, and truly care about each child's development. It’s a wonderful community, and our daughter loves going to school every day. We are so grateful for the foundation they’ve built for her!

  Chen Laoshi and Li Laoshi at LePort Irvine Mandarin are exceptional for Toddlers (18 months - 3 years old). We enrolled our son 5 months ago and have been consistently impressed. From day one, Chen Laoshi and Li Laoshi greet him each morning with the warmest, most genuine smiles, and that sets the tone for his whole day. He walks in happy, and that matters more than I can say. Mandarin is the primary language of the classroom, and within just a few months our son is adjusting beautifully to both the language and the Montessori environment. It is clear Chen Laoshi and Li Laoshi understand how toddlers learn and they create a space where immersion feels natural, not overwhelming. The classroom itself is spotless and beautifully organized, which reflects the care and intentionality they bring to everything. We feel so glad we found teachers this dedicated. Zhang Laoshi and Gu Laoshi at LePort Irvine Mandarin are a remarkable team for Primary (3-6 years old). We enrolled our daughter 6 months ago and the progress she has made already is hard to believe. She started the immersion program in November and is already conversational in basic daily routines and counting in Mandarin. That kind of growth in such a short time reflects directly on her teachers. Zhang Laoshi and Gu Laoshi bring complementary strengths that work beautifully together. Zhang Laoshi is structured and focused, keeping our daughter on track and making sure real learning is happening every day. Gu Laoshi brings warmth and playfulness that makes the classroom a place our daughter genuinely wants to be. Together they have created an environment where immersing in a new language feels exciting rather than intimidating. We could not be more pleased with how our daughter is thriving.

  I will start with the fact that neither I or my husband have any Chinese roots, we were looking for a highly rated Montessori school that could expose our daughter to a third language at the age where they are more likely to learn them. Well, this school has been just amazing in every way exceeding expectations, our daughter has been there for about a year and a half and is now able to have conversations in mandarin, (this is still mind blowing to me since she has no one to practice with at home), I sent her Audio to my international colleagues in Asia and they all say she sounds like a native speaker which is so amazing. It really helps so much the teachers speak to them in mandarin all the time, it is mind blowing to see her progress. The Montessori teaching style is wonderful and empowering for the kids to be independent and critical thinkers. It is beautiful how every game and activity is designed to have a practical lesson behind, even if it is “just playing” there is emphasis in being empathetic and emotionally intelligent with themselves and their friends. I love this school and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to broaden their kids language and skills in a wonderful environment of respect and learning. For reference my kid was 3 year and 9 months when she first started in Leport mandarin and she is now 5 yrs old.

  This school is excellent. Both of our children have been enrolled since they were 18 months old (now ages 3.5 and 6), and we've observed impressive progress in their development in a short time. The environment is specifically designed to foster age-appropriate motor skills, and the teachers are extremely patient, meeting each child's individual needs. From early potty training to providing emotional support, the staff consistently demonstrates the utmost care. Communication among the staff and with parents is very clear and open. If any issues arise, they are promptly addressed, and there is always a thoughtful plan for supporting students both at school and at home. Overall, teamwork here supports every child's development.

  no because every time I walk past here, there’s kids crying a kid that was asking for toys and the teacher wouldn’t give it to him. I saw it from the other side. I was just like I don’t know.
