Parent Reviews
We have three children at Guidepost Montessori of Downers Grove (4yo, 2yo, and 1yo), and we have loved our time here. When we moved to Downers Grove, we were determined to find a place that was safe, that celebrated children's independence and exploratory play, and that focused on fostering strong child-adult interactions so our kids could develop a love for learning from the start. We are so happy with Guidepost. The teachers and team are incredibly caring. They challenge our kids and show them great love. We highly recommend Guidepost for any families in the area!
