What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

My husband and I did extensive research/visited multiple daycares before finding Newport Montessori. Our son is coming up on 1 year of being here and continues to thrive, grow and express how much he loves his teachers and classmates. We have friends that also have their child enrolled here and are happy with their experience.
Elizabeth SwainMay 17, 2025Amazing school and outstanding teachers & staff! We have had such a wonderful experience at Newport Montessori School the past 2+ years my son has been in attendance here! Ms. Angela, the school Director, and all of his teachers are incredibly dedicated, engaging, and passionate about the Montessori way. Every child is nurtured, loved and cared for and we are so so thankful to have found this wonderful school. The communication with parents is excellent too and we regularly receive updates, photos, and insights into what the kids are working on, which I truly appreciate. I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any parent/family looking for a caring and enriching daycare & preschool Montessori environment.
MaryMay 7, 2025My daughter loves coming to Mrs. Shehara class. Very pleased with the level of attention and care she receives. Mrs. Shehara is very warm and caring, loving and simply incredible. Their "Open Door' policy speaks volumes about how the management and staff approach the parent-teacher relations. They cater to the development of the the child and willing to work with parents to make sure that we are happy with any suggestions/decisions being made. Overall, our experience at Newport Montessori has been very positive and we would recommend this school with no hesitation to our family and friends.
GigiDec 7, 2017This school I cannot forget as it played such a huge role in my life. I attended Kindergarten here and I had Ms Sara and she is the sweetest and most impacting teacher i've had until this day. I am now a high school senior in a position I feel was largely influenced by my time spent at this institution 12 years ago. Many of my ethics were developed there. Thank You so much Newport Montessori!
Rami MadaniOct 3, 2017Truly wonderful! Words can not express how much our family loves it here. :)

Has California visited NEWPORT MONTESSORI in response to a complaint?
