Pros

I’ve been a Montessori educator for 14 years and Guidepost Montessori is the absolute best organization I’ve ever had the pleasure with which to work. The goal of high-fidelity authentic Montessori is achieved every day through amazing on-going professional development, unparalleled team support and an emphasis on detailed excellence. Every campus team is professional, supportive and encouraged to work collaboratively to truly “follow the child”. It’s a joy to see happy parents who appreciate and value an authentic Montessori education and children who explore and grow in our beautiful environments every day.

Cons

Guidepost Montessori is a fast-growing network of schools that has very high standards for education quality, and a passion for an elevated parent experience. Every member of our campus teams works extremely hard and is committed to continuous learning, growth and improvement. This is only a con, if you are not also passionate and driven to achieve big things in your career in Montessori.

Beautiful growing school with great coworkers

Pros

The school is just beautiful with all new materials and a clean look with new flooring and nice decorating touches, but what makes the school the best are the people! We have a great team of staff members who work hard to provide a high-quality Montessori experience for the children.

Cons

It's not always easy work, especially because the school is growing and children are joining the classes all the time. Our infant and toddler classes are full so they only have new children when another one moves up, but the children's house and elementary are growing and each time a new child joins there is work to be done to integrate them in. That is why we're here though, to help children get a great educational start, so we are happy to have them join our classes.
