Tuition discount if you want your child going to a school like that

Cons

Money is the main goal. They don't care about kids.

Guidepost Montessori Response
5y
Thank you for taking time to share your frustrations with us. Your perspective is both appreciated as a point of learning and simultaneously confusing; as the only Head of School to leave their role in the past nine months was the Head of School at our Williamsburg campus who was promoted to another role within our network and is clearly not you. Based upon the nature of your comments, it appears that you were a candidate who participated in the interview process and has never worked for our organization. Because we care deeply about each and every child, we are dedicated to bringing Montessori to more families and children around the world. It was evident that our Montessori approach to diversity and inclusion and the community being served in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, were not a match for your own professional goals. We wish you the best in your continued search.

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”
