Pros

The approach truly provides a new light into ECE especially as someone who comes from traditional public school settings this was an enlightening way to teach. The mission of the company and the overall goal truly are ones that provide inspiration and make you want to succeed with them.

Cons

The company doesn’t truly know how it wants to structure things and changes constantly leave gaps in support. The concerns that cause high turnover are never truly addressed. Boundaries between work and life are asked repeatedly to be crossed, and you are scolded if you don’t want to cross those boundaries, money prevails over the atmosphere and children/staff needs.Their is a preference for providing opportunity for growth to those with a business mindset and experience not teachers with a passion although that passion is used to tell you why the opportunities for growth are not present for you and way pay shouldn’t be a concern even when you are doing well and can’t afford your bills. Pay is also an area in which gaps are present most make below market and inflation surviving levels despite having teaching backgrounds and others make more than or at market level.

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”
