Pros

Working for Guidepost is like being part of the best team that both challenges and supports you along the way. It’s like a family. Our team is professional, rare in an early education setting, but we are very collaborative. We work together and have fun doing it! The very best times are the times that we celebrate the success that we have achieved and laugh at the funny moments that arise along the journey. I love working with a team that strives to bring their best every day and inspires me to do so too.  Hearing the rave reviews of our parents and seeing our students thrive makes all the hard work more than worthwhile.  Dynamic, challenging and fun sums it all up!

Cons

At Guidepost the desire to be the best at all we do can be a lot of pressure. Perfection is not expected but we are always working towards it. It is hard work! On the flipside, it is also awesome! I have never worked so hard or had so much fun. Every day is a full day and no two days are alike. If you like slow, steady and predictable every day, this is not the place for you. If you are unwilling to pitch in outside of your "job description", this is not the place for you. If you are happy with mediocrity, this is not the place for you. If you are eager to be part of a growing company that is always looking for ways to be better, this is the place for you! Being part of Guidepost has made me a better educator, leader and person.

Pros

I have been with Guidepost for almost four years, and I am extremely happy in my role as a Children’s House Lead Guide. I truly couldn’t ask for a better position. The work environment is very positive, and I am surrounded by kind, supportive colleagues. The leadership is exceptional—our Head of School is an amazing, understanding, and uplifting person who creates a culture where everyone feels valued we feel supported and I’ve learn so many new skills. Even in last-minute or challenging situations, she responds with positivity and grace. I feel very supported and appreciated every day.

Cons

There are very few downsides to mention. Like any workplace, occasional last-minute situations can arise, but they are handled very well by head of school.

Pros

I’ve been at Guidepost for four years, and it has truly been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. Watching each child grow, gain confidence, and thrive is a joy I never take for granted. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe in the work we do. The safety and wellbeing of every child is at the center of our mission, and I wouldn’t recommend this school if I didn’t fully trust that each child is cared for with genuine respect, compassion, and intention. Beyond the incredible environment we create for our children, the team here is something special. We support, trust, and genuinely care about one another. I couldn’t write this review without mentioning our admin team. They have created a culture of care, respect, and trust with the staff. They guide us, encourages us, and continually helps us grow. Working at Guidepost has been a magical experience.

Cons

Honestly, there’s not much that I would deem a “con”
