LePort School

As two attorneys that both work extended hours, it was important to us to find a daycare that provided an environment that would be like a second home to our son and also focused on teaching important life skills from a young age. We got very lucky that our son is not a “crier.” Unfortunately that meant that in his first day care he was often ignored while the teachers soothed the babies that made the most noise. As a parent, I can totally understand the desire to soothe a crying baby. But because my son wasn’t a squeaky wheel, he was constantly being ignored, left on a play mat with little adult interaction. And then he started to fall behind on milestones. I started looking elsewhere to take him and found LePort. I expressed my concerns about my son’s current school ignoring him for the sake of the crying babies. I am SO grateful for LePort. I saw an immediate turn around with my son and his milestones after enrolling him at LePort. Within days I could see a difference in how excited he was to go to school and how happy and fulfilled he was when he would come home. Now, several months later, he is excelling in every way and is advanced for his age in many skills and milestones.

His teachers are so attentive and he loves his head teacher Ms. Zappa. She has consistently discussed with us ways to make sure that the skills they are teaching him are consistent at school and home. She is always full of good ideas on ways to help our son grow and to address concerns we are having about issues with sleep, eating, or anything else. We seek out and take her advice on many subjects we have encountered with our son. It is sad to admit, but because of our schedules, our son spends more time with his teachers at school than he does at home with us. But we couldn’t be happier with them. They genuinely love our son. Both of us and our son will be truly heartbroken when he has to switch classes eventually and leave Ms. Zappa’s class for the next stage class.
