Guidepost Montessori Recenzje 

Our journey with Guidepost began when my daughter, then just two years old, first stepped into the Children's House program. Now, at five, she continues to flourish, a testament to the consistent excellence and nurturing environment provided by your dedicated team. Witnessing her growth over these critical developmental years has been nothing short of remarkable.

The level of compassion, individualized attention, and genuine care extended by the Guides at Peoria truly exceeds all expectations. Their commitment to fostering not just academic skills, but also independence, curiosity, and emotional intelligence, is palpable every single day. They don't just supervise; they actively guide, inspire, and connect with each child on a personal level, which, as a parent, brings an unparalleled sense of peace and confidence.

Having experienced other childcare facilities in the past, I can honestly state that Guidepost Montessori at Peoria stands in a league of its own. It is the safest, most stimulating, and most supportive environment my child could be in. Beyond the exceptional educational framework, there is a vibrant and heartwarming sense of community that permeates the Peoria campus. My daughter has forged numerous meaningful friendships, developing crucial social skills and a deep sense of belonging. I am truly grateful for Guidepost Peoria.

Our daughter had a wonderful experience at Guidepost Montessori. The teachers were warm, attentive, and truly understood her personality and needs. We saw her grow more confident, independent, and curious every day. The environment was nurturing, the communication was great, and we always felt she was in caring hands. We’re grateful for the positive impact Guidepost has had on her early learning journey.

Guidepost Cary was like a second home for my three kids. The school is led with love and kindness from the teachers to administrators. Kimberly has been a rock leading the school keeping communication open and always receptive to feedback. The teachers, Pilar, Joanna, Julianna, Abby, Misa, Daniela and so many more are just about the best people you want your kids to be learning from and cared for. They get to know each children and make sure they have a tailored approach to help the child succeed. Every kid has their own timeline and the teachers work with parents openly to reach each milestone.

The director, staff, and teachers at Guidepost Hurst genuinely care for students. They go above and beyond to plan and communicate--in the celebratory moments and in the unexpected ones. We left Guidepost Hurst for a few months when they experienced concerns around lease negotiations. But as soon as we knew that was settled, we returned. Why move schools back again? In part, it is because our daughter talked every day about missing it when we passed by in the car. We had moved her to a different, well-respected, long-open school in the area. And there's nothing we'd say poor about that experience; but there was something different to her face, her energy, when she talked about Guidepost. She didn't quite open up to other students, teachers, and staff at the other school as much as she had at Guidepost. When we returned several months ago, and to this day, she is ecstatic to hug the director and assistant director. She seems full of energy and buzzing with extraversion.

While there are likely many good schools in the area that develop children in the Montessori method, there's something special about the staff and teachers here. They've developed a bit of a community where parents, caregivers, and kids can celebrate the joy of being curious and open.

I think the only part of our experience that hasn't been ideal was in regional management or corporate's management of the initial lease negotiation. The fact that the negotiations' catalyst (causing a brief period of closure) came as a surprise to senior staff and teachers was very disconcerting. I worried for those who were concerned about potential, sudden job loss; and for the families impacted. Everyone rebounded; but there were times when corporate communications didn't seem as transparent as would have been helpful. I still remember with admiration the teachers and staff who worked diligently in those days to coordinate temporary relocation and pick up of personal items. They stayed late to ensure families could get what they needed, and fought for stability for children.

We have sent all 3 of our children to Guidepost Montessori - Lincoln Park. It is the most educational, independence-building, nurturing environment we could have asked for to aid in the development of our children. The quality of the guides (teachers) is unmatched in any daycare setting that I have seen. The curriculum around grace and courtesy creates an environment where students understand how to solve conflicts between each other productively and take responsibility for their actions. We have also been incredibly impressed with the Spanish immersion program. Our almost 5 old son now speaks fluent Spanish from being in the immersion program for 3 years. We have no native speakers at home! We highly highly recommend this Guidepost community.

Our child has been at this location for 2 years and has had the other opportunity to be in the toddler room and in Children’s House. We feel like our child has grown in their independence, learned many skills and built many friendships. As a family we also feel like we have built a community at Guidepost that we absolutely cherish. Ms Eva is incredibly dedicated to each child and family and is constantly coming up with new opportunities and experiences for the kids to learn and grow. We will be here until we age out.

Our experience with guidepost Wilton has been wonderful for our son. It is school - not just childcare. He goes there to learn and grow and engage and thrive. His teachers are professional and care deeply about their work while also being warm and loving. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them.

My kids started with them on their first day. We have very good experience with them. My boy is still in the MS Xcohiti class. Thank you so much Ms. Xchoti for learn my boy independently. You are awesome.

Guidepost Montessori has been an absolutely wonderful environment for my daughter. We were initially drawn to Guidepost by their Spanish Immersion offering and were extremely pleased to learn that our daughter could complete her KG year with Guidepost - in Spanish. As non-native Spanish speakers, our goal has been to engage with external sources to expose our daughter to as much Spanish language as possible, helping build a foundation for bilingualism - and Guidepost is meeting (and exceeding!) expectations for their support in our goal as well. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time in the classroom, she adores her teachers and the other staff members, and Guidepost has quickly started to feel like a “family” for us. From the school leadership team (Ms Aracelly and Ms Nuria) to the classroom teachers (Ms Netty and Ms Silvia), all staff members are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and loving - and you can tell they are passionate about helping the kids learn.

Based on our experience so far, we look forward to having our 2 younger children attend Guidepost in the future as well!

We are new to Guidepost and we couldn't be happier. Outstanding place of education and growth for the kids.

From my very first visit to Guidepost Montessori—after an extensive search for schools—I knew it was the right place. My son began Montessori education in our home country, and I truly appreciate the authenticity of the Montessori model here. The teachers are loving, respectful of each child’s process, and wonderful guides in helping us see the children’s development clearly and quickly.

My son arrived speaking only our native language, and with so much patience and care, this school has been our ally in introducing and strengthening his English. He now communicates much better in both languages. I also love the cultural diversity within the community and how much they value and protect childhood.

I couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Overall Guidepost is great. Our son has flourished and I love how the staff really gets to know each child and parents. I am happy that the main teachers remain stable but I wish there was less turnover with supporting staff but I guess that comes with the job. We are mostly very happy with our 3 years at Guidepost and will be starting our daughter there as well next year.

My son absolutely ADORES this school. He never wants to leave when I pick him up, which is a great sign. All of the teachers and staff I have encountered are insanely friendly, caring, and seem to love being around kids. My son's teachers really pay attention to all the students in the class. The only thing I notice is that the head of the school seems to be a little standoffish, so every time I walk into the front office as I bring my son to his classroom, I always get a cold vibe from her.

We started at Guidepost Deerfield over a year ago, after touring a few other Montessori's in the area. We immediately loved how warm and welcoming it felt and decided to stay early on in our first meeting with Jessica (who is INCREDIBLE).

The teachers are warm, supportive, kind, informed, and VERY invested in what's best for the children. They even noticed some behavioural things with Jaxx and met with us to figure out why. With their guidance, we made a few modifications (including reducing screen time) at home, which fixed the issues within DAYS.

They have so many events and celebrations and even invitations to get together casually on the weekend sometimes - which the kiddos love.

Last year, after a few months in Australia, we moved back to Georgia and to Deerfield just to have Jaxx return to the school because he (and we) love it there so much.

I promise, enrolling your kiddo/s here will be the best decision you can possibly make for them. Just do it!

Our child has shown TREMENDOUS progress since starting at Guidepost about 8 months ago. We are EXTREMELY happy with all of the Guides and the staff alike. This is a clean, safe, and nurturing environment, and our (very) rambunctious near-4-year-old has learned and continued to learn calming techniques and we could not be more proud of him and that is a direct reflection on the 8+ hours he spends at Guidepost. Thank you to everyone at Guidepost, and we could not recommend MORE for your child to attend this wonderful place of education.

Both of our daughters have gone here and we love this school. I couldn't image going anywhere else. When we first toured the classrooms were cozy and reminded me of a home. We didn't even tour other locations and signed up-best decision.

This is a long overdue review. We enrolled my daughter at GP when she was just 8 months old. We toured several places and after many interviews, we decided GP was the best choice for us. As a first time mama, returning to work was one of the hardest things I had to do. At the time, Jamie and Lan were the heads of school and I had great interactions with both. Ultimately though, Miss Abi, the Nido lead guide, is who truly helped me develop such a trust for the school and the Montessori program. My daughter is now 22 months and I wanted to share my thank you note to the Nido team:

"Waaaaah! I am so sorry that this response took so long. It was stuck in my spam AND I think I was in denial with Vivi moving to the toddler class, haha. It seems like it was only yesterday that I dropped her off for her first day when she was 8 months old! I cannot express enough how grateful Jon and I are for you and your team. There's so much anxiety that parents go through when trying to find a daycare/school. Viv not only thrived in your class but she has grown to love each and every one of you. You kept our daughter safe and she developed such a deep connection and trust in your classroom. You and your team cultivated that connection and built upon it. We couldn't have asked for a better first teacher. Thank you for helping us raise a confident infant/toddler - we couldn't have survived the last year without you all.

The transition to toddler has been a challenging one but we know that she will be okay. There are bittersweet moments because Vivi still asks for you and/or Ms. Gaby. That's how much of an impact you have on her life Please continue to do the magic you all do - your dedication and compassion for the babies shows and does not go unnoticed."

Now, there has been some turnover in management and in my daughter's toddler class but, I do not feel that my child's safety or learning has been compromised because of it. Sure, we prefer consistency but, we adapt. The new heads of school, Ms. Lorine and Ms. Dora have made INCREDIBLE updates to the school: they transformed the lobby area into a cozy and welcoming space! There's light atmospheric music playing when you walk in, an oil diffuser with a clean scent, just little things that make you breathe a sigh of relief upon entering. The classrooms each have a mini bulletin board with updates. They have had technological/app updates that I feel are much better. This year they even offered extracurricular activities: yoga, gymnastics, dance, etc., and that's something I wanted for my child. Not only was she getting a Montessori education, but she had the opportunity to participate in other classes.

I wanted to give Ms. Laura and Ms. Monica, the toddler's lead guide, a shoutout for stepping in when the former lead guide unexpectedly left. They have made my daughter's transition truly memorable. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of her toddler journey.

Finally, the community engagement has been much more fun and vibrant! The leadership team and staff have also been forthcoming with the changes and have kept the lines of communication open. The toddler teachers have also offered various parenting workshops: toileting, independence, etc. I feel like there is always a school function or workshop, it's truly amazing to see the passion they have for our children's growth and development. Suffice it to say, GP has only gotten better and I look forward to seeing their progress.

Our 4 year old daughter started at Guidepost Blue Ash in September. She learned so much already. The focus on not only academics but practical life skills make such a big difference and they carry over to our home life too, she's already packing her own lunch and is so confident in her skills! We also love that they spend so much time outside. The only sad thing about this place is that we didn't find it earlier.

Guidepost Montessori has been a wonderful experience for my family. The environment is safe, clean, and very organized. The guides and staff always show patience, kindness, and professionalism with the children. I love how they encourage independence, learning through exploration, and respect among everyone.

I have seen great progress in my child: he is more confident, more communicative, and he enjoys coming to school every day. The communication with parents is also excellent; they always keep us informed about the day-to-day activities and the child’s development.

I highly recommend Guidepost Montessori. It is a place where children truly grow, learn, and feel loved.

We've had an exceptional experience with Guidepost Montessori, especially at the South Beaverton campus. The genuine Montessori methodology has remarkably supported my child's growth, learning, and development in ways that consistently impress me.

The educators and staff at South Beaverton are truly outstanding - they foster a supportive environment where children are empowered to explore, discover, and build independence at their individual pace. I've witnessed my child flourish in self-confidence, strengthen critical thinking abilities, and develop an authentic passion for learning.
