We have absolutely loved this school We have absolutely loved this school, the teachers and the staff who run the school. Our son does the Spanish immersion class with Ms Gaby, Ms Myrna and Ms Sol. They are three excellent teachers with wonderful communication, they are fun, approachable, friendly and warm. The classroom is run beautifully and we always feel welcomed. Since going to Guidepost our son (an only child) has learnt to do SO much for himself. He puts on his shoes, gets dressed, clears his plate. It has made him value his independence and given him new levels of confidence as an individual. He has made some very good friends with the other students and I believe the school does a really good job of fostering friendships. We have loved the out of hours activities and the birthday parties. And seeing my son's understanding of Spanish grow has been very exciting. We've also met a lot of the other parents who are very friendly and this has been really great. It's a great school and lovely community. It's been perfect for our family.

Absolutely love everything about Guidepost! My son has been attending Guidepost from the time he turned one and it has been a pleasure watching him grow and achieve his milestones. The amount of independence that he has achieved during this course of time has been amazing. The most interesting part is the Montessori approach that Guidepost follows. I appreciate how they go that extra mile to meet the needs of each child and ensure that the child masters each lesson that he was introduced to before moving onto the next one. The warm and welcoming environment at the campus is something that always stood out in comparison to other schools that we toured. The teachers are so loving and caring, and their prepared environment is a place my son feels at home. He is always excited to go to school and the ample opportunity of outdoor play is something that he enjoys the most. We love that fact that the Guidepost's parent community that we get to connect with outside of school is very supportive too. Absolutely cannot recommend this school enough if you are looking for a Montessori school that truly nurtures the love of learning in your child.

Great start for my 1yo We made the decision to start our daughter in the Montessori Together program at a nearby Guidepost school when she was about 7 months. It's been great to watch her world expand as she meets other children, and as my wife and I connect with other families. The community of families has been great for us as new parents, and we feel well taken care of the attentive team at our daughter's school.

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.

Great school network My daughter has been in Guidepost since 6 mo. She is now 3.5 and super independent. Sometimes I feel like she is “too independent” (*face palm smiley*). She has attended multiple locations during her tenure at Guidepost and every transition was unexpectedly easy for our a bit shy and reserved child. I believe this could be a very important aspect to families that move around a lot. All locations are beautiful AND look the same AND teachers approach children in the similar manner. This provides so needed reassurance to the child in the tumultuous times of the move. Whether it is a geographical move or transition up to a different program.
