Description
Our Spanish Immersion program offers children the gift of bilingualism in a nurturing Montessori environment. Led by native Spanish-speaking guides, children are immersed in the language through daily routines, conversations, and hands-on learning—developing fluency with natural intonation and accent. Alongside Spanish language acquisition, children engage in a full academic curriculum including math, reading, writing, and practical life activities. This early exposure not only strengthens cognitive development but also opens the door to a lifetime of cultural, social, and professional possibilities. Full-Time tuition listed.

Parent Reviews
Very Great teacher and environment! You can see the adm and teacher team is trying to improve in many aspects. Very good hours for busy parents!
We are so happy with Guidepost. The staff have been great, and well-versed in Montessori principles. It's a clean, welcoming environment. And our child is learning so much and excelling well beyond our expectations. If you are not generally familiar with Montessori, I cannot recommend it enough.
Guidepost Montessori at Lincoln Park is the ideal place for pre-school-age children. Our two children have been at the school for five years and its worth every dollar. The teacher are universally kind and committed to the welfare and education of their charges. The setting is idyllic and the materials are best quality. It may cost slightly more than the average daycare but the experience is substantially better. We feel that they have set up our children for the best start to their education. The regular trips to parks and the zoo(!) only add to the charm of the school. We love it and strongly recommend it to everyone!
Guidepost Montessori School at Lincoln Park has been a fantastic experience for my daughter. The teachers are incredibly sweet and lovely, creating a nurturing and welcoming atmosphere. My daughter looks forward to going to school every day and thoroughly enjoys all the activities and learning opportunities provided. I couldn't be happier with our experience at Guidepost Montessori!
My family and I love GMLP. We had our son go there since he was 8 months old and he has grown into a great routine and become accustomed to having fun with his carers and his friends.
