RUN 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

Are rainbows a political symbol in the year 2023. Its been a good experience. But with that being said if you want your child to come home and start arguing with you about rainbows send them to the school.

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.

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.

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.
