    Ms Indira
    Tommy L.

    The teachers and staff did a really great job in shaping our kids. Ms Indira, Ms Maria, and Ms Bavna are the reason why we drive so far to drop off and pick up our children each and every day. Especially Ms Indira. She's a no nonsense type of educator who uses patience to teach kids manners and a well rounded curriculum. Thanks Milestone! We will miss you!

    My daughter attended this school since 11months old. Our family moved house, we are changing school for our daughter since distance became an issue now. However, we love this school and love all the teachers! My daughter will miss her teachers and friends!!

    Outdoor area with bikes

    I have 2 kids here (2.5yrs and 10 months) and they/ we LOVE this school. We've been here for about a year with my son and added my daughter a few months ago. 1. The campus. We toured at least 10 schools, and even in the nicest/most expensive the classrooms felt so cramped and dark. There is so much space here and natural light. And it's super clean and well-stocked. We also love the covered outdoor areas for the younger kids 2. The teachers. Both my kids love their teachers and are well bonded. My son constantly talks about "going back to school" and references his teachers on the weekends. 3. The staff. Everyone is so friendly and knows every kid by name. There are great touches (like , the school iguana) or the book fairs, extra curriculars, etc. and it's secure. When we have family pick the kids up the staff immediately recognizes them as someone new and everyone has a unique passcode 4. The curriculum. My kids are young but they're learning so much. My 2.5yr old knows his abcs, can count to 15, and regularly comes home with new facts - like naming all the planets. We're grateful to have found this school.

    Christmas artwork from my baby made by Ms. Christine in the Pink Room. What a treat!

    Milestones Montessori has been a wonderful school and day care for our infant daughter. Our daughter joined the school's Pink Classroom (the classroom for infants younger than one year old) when she was 4 months and we are taking her out this month because we are moving to northern California. The Pink room's head teacher, Ms. Christine, is an exceptional teacher and caretaker for all the babies in the room. She is so warm and caring and knows how to take care of all types of babies. She has done a wonderful job training her assistant teachers so that the babies are in capable hands at all times of the day. Ms. Christine is also a great advisor to new parents and gives parents tips on how to calm, feed and develop our children. She even goes out of her way to make artwork for the parents on holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentines Day. I would highly recommend Milestones and leaving your child with Ms. Christine in the pink room.

From preschool to kindergarten, this place has been nothing but nuturing and caring. The kids are all amazing. Many activities for them and they can learn at their own pace and feel supported. We've also appreciated that they offer hot catered lunches so that we have the option of taking a break from lunch packing to give our child variety and exposure to different foods and feel included among other children during meal time. Competitively priced and well worth every penny. There are enrichment programs and also extended care if you are working parents (or just need some additional time). Good area and convenient to get to. The staff is wonderful!

    Our son has been at this Montessori school for almost two years, and we truly couldn't be happier…read more He started in the toddler room and is now in the primary class, and the transition was so smooth thanks to the caring and attentive teachers and staff. Ms. Han and Ms. Bianca have made such a difference in our son's life. They genuinely care about his growth, both academically and emotionally, and we feel completely at ease dropping him off each day. The best feeling as a parent is watching your child run into the classroom excited, not even looking back. He talks about his teachers at home all the time, which says everything. Assistant Director Ms. Laure is also such a bright light at the school. She's always there at drop-off and pick-up with the warmest smile, greeting families and somehow knowing every child by name. She's incredibly kind, helpful, and truly sets the tone for such a welcoming environment. We feel so grateful to be part of this school community.

Ms. Laure welcomed us and showed us around--she was so warm and friendly, which made us feel at ease right away. Luckily, there was a spot available for our baby, and we enrolled her. What I really appreciated was how thoughtfully they helped our baby transition into daycare. She started by going just a couple of hours at first, and now, she happily waves goodbye at drop-off and goes into her classroom excited to see her teachers and play with her friends. Fast forward 10 months later, and our daughter has learned so much and truly enjoys being here. The teachers are all wonderful and caring, even with some staff changes along the way. Both Ms. Laure and Ms. Kari stand out for being especially kind, professional, and supportive. Overall, this daycare has made the transition much smoother and more positive than I expected. I'm so grateful our daughter is here--it feels like the right place for her to grow and thrive.

    We feel incredibly lucky to have found this in-home Montessori program for our infant son. From our…read morevery first visit, we knew this was a special place. The environment is peaceful, spotless, and designed with so much intention--from the low shelves to the natural, developmentally appropriate materials. Our son has absolutely thrived here. We've watched him grow in ways that continue to amaze us--gaining confidence, developing fine motor skills, and becoming more independent each week. It's clear that the Montessori approach is being implemented with a deep understanding of infant development, and it's been so beautiful to watch our son respond to that. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and truly gifted in working with little ones. Ms. Julia has created a calm, structured rhythm that makes our son feel secure and supported. Knowing that he is in such a safe, clean, and loving space brings us so much peace of mind. I truly love the individual attention that each family gets. We are treated with a lot of respect and personal touch. Little Explorers Montessori has been incredible, working around our schedule and being super flexible. We also appreciate many enrollment options, even for infants (which most schools do not offer). And finally, they use an app where they post updates through out the day! It is very convenient for the infant so that we are aware of the feeding, diaper changes and naps. Makes it much easier and beneficial to keep the routine going! We have been here for a little over a year and have more years to come! Big thanks to the team of Little Explorers!

    This daycare has brought happiness not only to my son but to our whole family. We are truly…read moregrateful. It has all the advantages of a home-based daycare, without any of the typical drawbacks. Here are just a few reasons why: The teachers are everything when it comes to choosing a place to care for young children -- and in that regard, this daycare scores beyond perfect. Ms. Julia and Mr. Vlad, along with their amazing staff, always greet the children with warm smiles. They are caring, patient, and handle discipline with just the right amount of firmness and kindness. As a result, the kids both love and respect them -- and they listen well! The daycare uses the entire first floor of their home plus the backyard, creating a cozy, homey atmosphere. But at the same time, the space is fully designed for children -- much like a larger preschool. There are swings, a slide, a seesaw, and even rabbits and parrots for the children to enjoy! Despite being a home daycare, there are engaging daily activities, many of them Montessori-based. There's even gentle academic learning, tailored to the kids' pace. In just 3-4 months, our child joyfully mastered phonics here! Every week there's also a "Show and Tell" time that our child would look forward to -- likely because the teachers are so encouraging. They also make sure play is part of every day. In the summer, there's daily water table play. They even change each child into dry clothes afterward -- something many parents, including myself, would find hard to do at home every single day. Because of all this, our child -- who struggled to adjust emotionally at a large preschool before -- became visibly happier at this daycare. He looked forward to going each day, shared lots of joyful stories about his teachers and friends at home, and even sometimes asked to stay longer at pickup time!

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.

    This review is for the South campus…read more Both of my daughters started at LePort in the Spanish Immersion when they were 18 months old. My older daughter did great in the toddler program but we started to see issues when she moved to Primary. I met with Ms. Ana many times where we tried bringing in books from home or I sent her pictures and Ms. Ana made a special work item for my daughter to keep her interest. Eventually we found out that my daughter is Autistic. At that point I asked Ms. Ana to work with me to have a Behavioral Therapist in the school with my daughter. Very long story short, this Montessori environment is not the right environment for my neurodivergent child. But over the last 2 years I have spent upwards of 50 hours on the phone and in Ms. Ana's office trying to find ways to help my daughter succeed. Ms. Ana never gave up trying to help us. I love the Montessori curriculum and LePort was able to nurture my daughter's intelligence where she has just turned 5 and is reading chapter books and learning division. My younger daughter is currently having a blast in Ms. Ivette's classroom. A word of advice for parents experiencing behavioral issues - get your child assessed. My relationship with my daughter improved infinitely once I had professionals helping me understand how her mind works and how to speak to her in a way that she understands.

    A Truly Wonderful Montessori School -- Highly Recommended!…read more My daughter went to this Montessori school since she was an infant, progressing through the toddler and preschool classrooms, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience she's had over the past three years. The growth we've seen in her socially, emotionally, and academically has been remarkable. The teachers, especially Ms. Shelby, Ms. Chloe, and Ms. Sal, have been nothing short of amazing. They create a warm, nurturing environment where the kids feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. My daughter absolutely adores them. One of the things we appreciate most is how the school follows a thoughtful Montessori curriculum that helps children learn independence, discipline, and responsibility through hands-on activities. They sing, explore new materials, and learn to manage things on their own all of which has supported our parenting at home, too. My daughter loves going to school every day and enjoys spending time with her friends and teachers. We truly miss this wonderful community created by Ms Richa and Ms Prerna and wholeheartedly recommend this Montessori school to any family with an infant or young child in Lake Forest.

At M.I.A., she has learned great life skills such as putting away her things, confidence, independence, cooking, writing, healthy snacking, folding clothes, and politeness, to name a few. When we were at her annual doctor's appointment, my daughter impressed all of the other parents in the doctor's waiting room when she got up from the kids table and pushed her chair all by herself (a polite habit she was taught in her M.I.A. preschool class!). One of the highlights of this school is the lunch program: a very nutritious, rotating menu of Japanese-style dishes that you can opt-into. My daughter loves broccoli, fish, and many new foods now because of the healthy lunches at M.I.A. There are so many fun events throughout the year, such as the Sports Festival (Undokai), plays/musicals, cooking classes, observation weeks, cultural events, and the school is great about sharing pictures of the students' activities so we can get a sense of their days. Also, there are many options for afterschool extracurricular activities, which my daughter loves! PE Class, Japanese Dance, Piano Lessons, Art, Nenchu class, Karate/Kendo, and more. Sometimes when we arrive to pick her up after school, she tells us that "we came too early" -- because she's having so much fun and wants to stay at school even longer! We're looking forward to our daughter's continuing journey at M.I.A.!

It took a couple weeks of transition, as is to be expected, but once she got into the routine and became familiar with her teachers and the other students, she is happy to be there. She often just wants to keep playing when I come to pick her up at the end of the day! Our daughter is in Ms. Melgar's class. We have had a great experience with Ms. Melgar. She keeps us up to date on our daughter's progress and has reached out to us to discuss things like potty-training and what tasks are being taught in school. The Montessori philosophy is about helping kids learn age-appropriate life skills, and that for kids, play is their form of work because it's how they learn. Ms. Melgar makes an effort to spend one-on-one time with each child in the class to help them develop skills like pouring water into a cup, washing their hands, doing puzzles, making their snack, and mopping the floor. They also do artistic activities like painting and crafts. Our daughter has learned so much already in the 3 months she's been at school and her vocabulary is growing a ton too! They have a great student-teacher ratio. Although the requirement by law is 1 teacher for every 6 students, they almost always have more teachers around than this minimum. The teachers do a great job of keeping parents in the loop and sending daily updates on how long the children napped, how much of their snacks and lunch they ate, and bathroom/diaper updates. They have child-sized toilets and they teach the children how to sit on the toilets (even if they are still in diapers) just to familiarize them with it, which should make potty-training easier when the time comes. They allot about 2.5 hours for nap time, where the lights are off and shades are closed and the room is quiet. Kids who wake up early can play quietly, but it's a very conducive environment for kids who need a longer nap. Our daughter routinely naps 2.5 and sometimes even 3 hours at school.

When he first started at this school he had never been in a daycare/school setting before so we were very nervous about how he would take to it, and also about all the things required of us as parents. But the school made us feel comfortable to reach out to them anytime with any questions or concerns, and were always welcoming and responsive which put us at ease. When we caught glimpses of the teacher and student interactions we could see that there was genuine care for the well-being of each of the children and the teachers were very knowledgeable and available to give us advice. It was also pretty amazing that the staff know each of the kids by name! How they manage to do that with so many kids, I have no idea. But it just speaks to the individual attention that they provide. From the very first few months we were very impressed at all the progress our son made and how quickly he picked up new knowledge and skills. And within the 3 years that he has been there now, he has learned so much and we feel he is more than ready to move on and start his kindergarten year. We would recommend this campus to anyone looking for a preschool with an authentic Montessori experience and wonderful teachers and staff.
