Description
Our Children’s House preschool and pre-K program lays a strong foundation for academic and social success by honoring each child’s natural drive to learn. In this mixed-age Montessori environment, children explore subjects like math, language, science, and geography through hands-on materials and individualized lessons. The daily routine also includes real-world activities—such as preparing snacks or watering plants - that build independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose. As they grow at their own pace, children develop critical thinking, leadership, empathy, and the skills they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Full-Time tuition listed.

Parent Reviews
If you are looking for a warm, nurturing environment for your child to grow, challenge themself, and feel safe---look no further! I cannot say enough good things about this school, and the women who run it. My daughter started in the Children's Room in August of last year ('23) and we've had an amazing experience. The teachers are engaged, patient, and willing to go above and beyond to make the children feel celebrated and cherished. Mariana, Sunny, Alex, and the director, Ana, are all amazing at their jobs and curate a welcoming community and educational environment that allows children to thrive. I don't have experience in the nido and toddler rooms, but I have no doubt that those teachers/programs are amazing as well.
Our daughter has been attending Guidepost since it opened in August 2023. It is such a wonderful school. The facilities are all new, and it's a very calming and nurturing environment with incredibly caring guides (teachers). The hours are also amazing for working parents. Our daughter has flourished since she started, seamlessly tackled learning to use the toilet, and is developing so much independence. I highly recommend this school!
