GBSo happy to have my daughter at Guidepost! My daughter has been at Guidepost for almost 2 years and she is thriving. Her Head of School is fantastic and we love seeing the progress that she has made, both academically and socially, during her time at Guidepost. It has been a joy to see her curiosity and sense of independence blossom, and it's clear that she is developing a true love of learning under the school's guidance. As a working parent, I also really appreciate the extended 7am-6pm hours.

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.

GBGreat 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.

GBAre 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.

HKGreat 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.
