GBMoney over children This company has a dangerous set of priorities designed to keep tuition money rolling in by doing and saying whatever they feel will keep their customers (the parents) happy and blissful. Our 3 yo child spent almost an entire year getting socially shunned by most of their classmates, but nobody in the school thought of telling us. We also recently spoke to a former employee who knows about another student in dire need of early intervention therapy, but said that the school did not want to alert the parent because they were afraid of how the parent would react at the suggestion that their child was not developing totally normally. This should be a massive red flag to any parent who wants the best for their child, and is an extremely dangerous and irresponsible way to handle a pivotal time in early child development. A school ought to be the first to raise a flag if they have any concerns so that parents can make informed decisions and seek outside help if needed. Guidepost prefers to ignore the issue and avoid their role. Yuck.

GBDiscrimination as corporate policy Sadly, the other reviews on this platform echo my family's experience with Guidepost Montessori in a deeply uncomfortable way. The only difference is the location, we were in Brooklyn, but the corporate policy seems clear enough. The same pattern of discrimination, the same language and lack of reasonable accommodations for children with disabilities. Shameful.

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.

GBWe 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.
