Our mixed-age Toddler program nurtures your child’s natural curiosity and growing independence.

Each day includes joyful movement, music, storytelling, and purposeful work—from watering plants to brushing their hair—that helps children develop practical life skills and contribute meaningfully to their classroom community. Along the way, they form friendships, strengthen communication, and learn to navigate the world with confidence. Full-Time tuition listed.

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. Part-time and flexible scheduling options are also available. Contact this location for more details.

Parent Reviews
My son Anthony is still adjusting to the morning drop-off, but the teachers have been wonderful. Communication with the school is always quick and helpful, and they really support my son through the whole adaptation process. I also really value the Montessori method — I find it very important and beneficial for children’s independence and curiosity. I also love the diversity of cultures the school embraces, which enriches the environment and the children’s learning. I’m very happy with our experience at Guidepost Montessori. Highly recommend!
Our experience so far has been great! The staff is kind and attentive. They communicate often with us about our child’s day. The facility is clean and feels comfortable. The programs and the staff appear well organized and intentional.
Best decision I have made for my 4 yr old daughter. The staff is super friendly and patient. She has learned and grown so much in the 6 months that she has been there.
My oldest is in the children house classroom & my youngest is in the infant classroom. I am very grateful to know my children are in a safe and caring environment. Thank you Guidepost Marlborough!❤️
