High turnover ruins the environment Things started out well here but the high staff turnover led the center to essentially abandon the programming part way through the year. I feel like it has to be a culture/pay/systemic problem and the kids ultimately lose out the most.

Discrimination I went to tour the school and they said there is space available for my daughter. I told them she is autistic and if it is possible for her therapist to visit her at school. They said they will get back to me. They totally ignored me and I haven't heard back from them. So Disappointed, at least they should get back to me if they allow the therapist or not but totally ignoring me means they don't want to deal with disabled kids.

Our 1 year old loves it! We enrolled our 1 year old a couple months ago and it was one of the best decisions we made for our son. As an only child, it’s great seeing him get to play and interact with other kids around his age. We’ve seen that he’s learning things quicker by being in a mixed age classroom and playing more independently at home. The guides form close bonds with the children and the classroom really becomes a special and safe place for a child to grow and thrive. His level of separation anxiety has also decreased since going to Guidepost. Anyone on the fence, I urge you to visit a school and book a tour. Walking through the school and seeing the classrooms and how beautiful they are is something any parent should want for their child.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DISABILITIES The school has a good infrastructure, and it all looks great. However, my experience was horrible. The teachers and the principal don't even speak proper English. The security is a joke. One time I was able to pick up my son and put him in the car while the kids were playing outside, and nobody even noticed. My son, who is very high functional and autistic, was accepted in the middle of the pandemic. They took the deposit and ensured me that they are prepared to work with him. He doesn't have sensory issues and is verbal. The communication level is not as expected for five years old, but still a very well functioning child. Few months in - the principal called my wife and me to let us know that if we don't hire a "shadow" teacher, he will no longer visit the school. Even though the cost adds $7500/month to his tuition, we agreed to that. When they realized we are going forward with their proposal, they backtracked by saying that he can't go to their school even with a shadow teacher. It makes me sad that these people, with all of their ridiculous certifications, are incapable of giving my child an equal opportunity and proper care. I felt extremely discriminated against and offended by the way they handled the case. We went through their process and evaluation, and now that everything is back to normal and they don't need money as much, they are getting rid of the "bad ones." Forget this school with all of its false promises for a bright future. Guidepost Montessori is a business, and money is a priority. They don't care about your kids or their success. If you want your child to be educated by people that barely speak proper English, send them to this Montessori School. It's hard to imagine what other parents are going through when they have a child with disabilities and cannot afford private schools, speech therapies, shadow teachers, and all this other BS.

Teachers are amazing Teachers are amazing. For what you pay you know your child will be cared for and the curriculum is amazing. My daughter loves her teachers and adores them. Her vocabulary has skyrocketed and her practical life skills she does at home daily because of what they teach her. Montessori is a such a beautiful thing.
