GB5 - Star Review ( Guidepost Stonebriar ) Hello, I am proudly writing this 5 star review for Guidepost at Stonebriar in Texas. My 3 children who are the ages of 6, 4, and 3 are loving their experience. Every day I see them gaining more curiosity and in turn increasing their executive functional abilities. When I drop off my children in the morning, I observe a quiet and peaceful environment. The guides are showing great love for their work and our children. Keep up the great work team!

GBOur 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.

GBDiscrimination 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.

GBRUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN We enrolled our daughters at this school and had the following experiences: Jaime Roush - head of the school - Sent an email to her "leadership" team attempting to label our daughters with a clinical diagnosis which we NEVER remotely alluding to being factual. When we asked her to provide us with a copy of whatever assessments she had conducted on our children, as well as the contact information for the licensed clinician which conducted aforementioned assessment, Jaime feigned complete and absolute ignorance before running to her "legal team" crying about how she was afraid of the big black man because he made her friend Lori Nelson Roulette cry. Once Lori was held accountable for her severe incompetence, unethical behavior, and borderline child abuse tendencies, she all of sudden "feared for the safety of her life" and could no longer have our children in her school. I wonder if Jaime/Lori would have utilized dog whistle covert racial phrases if I were white. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST

GBA safe school environment that helps my children thrive Guidepost Montessori has been one of the best decisions for our family because of the nurturing environment, the caring teachers, and great community for parents to join. Both of my children attend one of the Guidepost locations in Northern Virginia and I have seen their love of learning grow throughout the two years they've attended school. Above all, both of my children are so eager to learn new things, feel comfortable and confident to ask questions, and have truly grown into the Guidepost value of 'Grace & Courtesy'. They are so sweet and kind and always happy when I pick them up from school. It makes me feel reassured as I really struggled with drop-off when they first started. It's also great to see how much they have both began learning in the areas of mathematics, literacy, and practical life. They are 4 and 2 years old. My 4 year old can count to 20 and is learning addition, subtraction, and has been introduced to multiplication. My son confidently says his ABC's, prepares his own food for snacks at home (like cutting with plastic knives!), and knows all of his colors in English and Spanish. I would definitely recommend Guidepost Montessori to parents that want to help their children grow into capable human beings. I feel that the foundations for this education will shape how they function in their day-to-day lives as adults and am so happy I found this school.
