Our son started at Guidepost Montessori a little over a year ago after another year-long search for the right school for him. We had to go through multiple schools previously that either were incredibly poorly run or were claiming to be Montessori institutions but were miles away from the Montessori standard. Ms Tomeka has established an incredible standard at Guidepost Montessori and has fostered an even better culture amongst the staff as well as the children and parents. Our son’s progress has been amazing to behold. He is far more independent than we could have possibly imagined. Could not say enough great things about this school.

We moved to the JAX area about 2 years ago. It took us some time to find an actual Montessori school that lived up to the Montessori name. We experienced schools in the area called “Montessori” and are nothing but the opposite. Ms Tomeka had done a fantastic job with this school. All the staff are well trained and educated in Montessori methods. We’ve seen our little one grow and become more independent that we could have imagined at such a young age. Not to mention the amount of love and care from the teachers towards the kids and us as parents. I highly recommend this school.

Guidepost Montessori at Baymeadows is absolutely amazing! I’ve had a wonderful experience with this school since day one. The environment is always clean, organized, and welcoming. The teachers are very well-trained, caring, and truly dedicated to the children’s growth. My son Benjamin loves going every day he always comes home excited to share what he learned, and it’s clear how much he’s grown in every way: his speech, independence, curiosity, and social skills. It’s beautiful to see his progress! I’m so grateful to have found such a special place where he’s treated with love and respect, and where learning happens naturally. I couldn’t recommend it more!

I’ve been working at Guidepost for over two years now, and I still truly love it. From the very first open house I attended, I knew this was the right place for me and my daughter, who was just one year old at the time. I told Ms. Bruna I wanted to apply, but there weren’t any openings then. Since I wanted my daughter to start school right away, we enrolled in a traditional program. After just two weeks there, Ms. Tomeka reached out to me. I knew right away it was the right opportunity. Montessori had always been in my heart and what I wanted for our family, so I decided to leave the traditional school, join Guidepost as an assistant guide, and enroll my daughter in the toddler class. Just two weeks later, I was offered the lead guide position after the guide I was assisting left. At first I was hesitant, but with Ms. Tomeka’s encouragement and the support of a mentor Ms. Rachel, I found my confidence and fell even more in love with Montessori. Since then, I’ve continued to grow. I became certified in Nido and Toddler through the Prepared Montessorian Institute, a MACTE-accredited program available to Guidepost employees, and I’m now working on my Children’s House certification. I’m so thankful to Guidepost for supporting me in my professional growth and helping me find a clear career path after immigrating here. As for my daughter, who is now in the Children’s House program, I couldn’t be more grateful for all the guides who have been part of her Montessori journey. She has flourished, she was reading at three years old and continues to learn with joy and self-motivation. Montessori has truly become a way of life for us, and I’m so thankful to Guidepost not only for nurturing my daughter’s growth but also for guiding my own journey as a teacher.

We absolutely love Guidepost Montessori at Baymeadows! My daughter has been enrolled there since she was a year old. She has thrived there and is a strong, smart and independent little girl! The teachers are kind and considerate and meet each individual child's needs. I recommend the school to everyone we know! We truly couldn't ask for a better community and she has built some of the best friendships with her classmates!

We absolutely LOVE Guidepost at Baymeadows. Our son started there when he was only 10 months old and hes now 4 1/2 and he has grown into such a wonderful smart inquisitive independent boy. All of his guides have worked on his strengths and helped him build up his weaknesses. The guides are truly the best people in the world! Our infant daughter now attends the same school and we are so happy with her care. We never have to worry about the care our children receive. The guides treat the children like their very own with so much love and compassion.

We cannot express how grateful we are for the incredible experience our son has had at Guidepost Montessori. Over the past year, we have seen such remarkable growth in him, and we wholeheartedly believe it’s thanks to the nurturing environment and dedicated staff. A special shoutout to Mrs. Bostic, Ms. Jane, and Ms. Cherri! Their unwavering support and genuine understanding of our son’s unique needs have made a world of difference. They take the time to connect with him individually, fostering his development in a way that feels tailored and personal. We truly appreciate everything they do for our family. Their commitment and passion shine through in the thoughtful guidance and care they provide daily. Guidepost Montessori has been such an amazing place for our son to learn and grow!
