Pros

The children are great and some of the teachers and management are cool .

Cons

-training program can take 18 months to 3 years. Which is practically impossible when you are working full time. You also have to come in 4 hours for 8 or more Saturdays aka work like balance interrupted. -mandatory events, expected to attended events such as open house even if it requires staying late or attended on. That's difficult to do when you have only had a 30 min break and have to stay later than your normally schedule -drama, some teachers were nice while others were petty and causing drama with other teachers and assistants. -some parents can be high maintenance. I can't tell you how many times I was emailed after work hours or houding with question before I even clocked in. Other parents are not open to suggestions for example I suggested a different AM snack because its difficult a 9 month old to eat a chicken biscuit with no teeth and while eating it the child almost choked the parent basically told me to ---- off with my "youthfulness".

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”
