Parent Reviews
Amazing caring staff.
This school exceeds all of my expectations and then some. We started in the Children’s House about a month after moving here from out of state, and needless to say it was a lot of change for everyone in the family, especially considering that my son was home with me fulltime beforehand. The gentle guidance and expertise they provided during this transition was incredibly professional and compassionate. Of all the schools we called and toured, they were the only ones who actually got on my son’s level and spent careful effort getting to know him. Not to mention they are the only Montessori school we looked at that proved to be true to the authentic Montessori philosophy. It grew clear in my search that any school can claim to be Montessori, but this school is the real deal. The staff is incredibly dedicated, friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and the facility itself is beautifully prepared. One of the things I always notice and appreciate is how calm it is - a reflection of happy, thriving children, and a team who just gets it. I can’t recommend this place enough! We are so grateful to be a part of the Guidepost family.
