We have been attending Guidepost Montessori for about six months now. So far it has been a very pleasant experience. The school and the amazing teachers are committed to provide the best environment for my daughter to grow and learn. She loves to go to school every day. I cannot recommend this school enough to other families who are looking for an authentic and nurturing Montessori environment for their children.

When parents send their children to school, they’re entrusting teachers with their safety and well-being. When we received a call that our daughter had fallen at school and had to be taken to the hospital via an ambulance, you can imagine how one might feel. Having reached the hospital before she arrived and was consumed with thoughts of how she was and feeling. While I had hoped the paramedics were being as gentle and kind as possible, they would be strangers to her and therefore scared. When ambulance finally arrived, I anxiously waited to see her. To my pleasant surprise, she was accompanied by her teacher, Ms. A. and as a result, my daughter was calm and more importantly, wasn’t alone. Times of need like this, is a true measure of a school’s dedication to students and their families. Guide Post is a place where I know my daughters ( we have two there) will excel in and out of the classroom because of the examples set by the teachers and staff. They truly treat all their students and parents as family and create many opportunities for families to be engaged and involved. We couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our children.

We love guidepost!!! 10/10 recommend. Our son has learned so much about being independent and asks to “go back” when we get home. The entire staff is incredible. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!

We enrolled our 3 year old a few months back and have had the best experience at Guidepost!! It was after trying another school that we decided Montessori would be a better fit because he was a Covid baby and was behind on socializing skills. As soon as we toured the school and saw what a vibrant and positive community this is we knew it would be a good fit for our family. The profesional and kind staff goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are in a caring and nourishing environment that also fosters their independence and empowers critical thinking and life skills. The campus is organized, safe and clean. Can’t say enough good things about the school. Couple of my friends have also had great experiences here. We love our teacher Ms Luciana, she is very assertive and knowledgeable. So grateful we found this community!

My son has been at Guidepost since it opened over 2 years ago and we couldn't be more thankful for how much care and thought is given to helping him grow into the little person he is now. The teachers have sparked curiosity, coached him through disagreements with peers and given him the confidence to try new things. As a parent. I am so grateful for the guidance and support I have gotten from the school. It truly is everything we hoped for our child.

If you are considering this school for your child, my advice is to run as far from this place as possible! My 5 year old son was enrolled and required therapy after we pulled him out! Started off good, but this school can't seem to hang on to any quality teachers. Once his good teacher left, the next teacher who came in was evil ... what teacher tells a 5 year old that they are a terrible boy??? When we let Ms Jill know about that, she didn't look into this at all! After hearing that other parents complained about similar experiences with the same teacher, how could Guidepost not even look into this??? Each day became worse and worse until we were being called every day by 10:30 AM to pick up my son who was crying his eyes out in Ms Jill's office. My son doesn't nap anymore and his teacher was trying to force him to nap or stay on a little mat for 2 hours while she did who knows what. Because my son wouldn't nap and is very active the teacher said incredibly awful and offensive things to my son reducing him to tears every day. The leadership was anything but -- Ms Jill offered a few solutions which we welcomed but then followed through on none of them giving us no choice but to pull my son out. We prepaid tuition for the month and even though my son was not enrolled for the entire month, Guidepost kept our money! Horrible experience and I caution any parent considering this school to go with another option!!!

I have 2 children in the school and have been enrolled since they opened. The teachers are top notch and teach to the individual. Any concerns we have had have been heard with empathic ears. We moved my oldest child from another montessori to here and this is the real deal if you are looking for a Montesorri education. I couldn't be happier with the current admin and guides. Shout out to awesome guides in childrens house 6 and lower elementary!

My nephew also suffered emotional anxiety that made him not even want to go in the mornings. Their way is teaching is terrible. His parents pulled him since Ms Jill or the head of the school didn't want to try to help him with any solutions. Do not take your kids here!

My son has been enrolled in the Toddlers class since he was 2 and from the moment I step onto the Guidepost Montessori campus, I am enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and creativity. The carefully designed classrooms, filled with natural light and inviting materials, create an environment that stimulates exploration and imagination. The commitment to maintaining a clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing space is evident, fostering a sense of comfort and security for both children and parents.My son has had the best Guidepost Montessori guide, Miss Veronica who is not just teacher but compassionate guide, along with the assistants, these professionals understand that each child is unique, cultivating an individualized approach to learning. Their enthusiasm for education is contagious, and their ability to spark curiosity in young minds is truly commendable.Guidepost Montessori is more than just a school; it's a community that values collaboration and open communication. Regular parent-teacher interactions, workshops, and community events create a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom. This sense of community helps both parents and children feel connected and invested in the educational journey.My son and my entire family have really enjoy our time here I hope this review sparks your curiosity to take a tour.

My son has been here since the school opened. We toured various schools prior and nothing compared to the energy and quality of care the guides provide at GP. I have been blown away by the standards, and the programs they offer such as the Spanish immersion. I could not ask for better people to watch over my child. When my second was born, they no longer offered the infant class (they brought this back in a different program afterwards), so we put her in a traditional school and it was a very underwhelming experience - this was supposed to be considered one of the better schools, but it did not compare to the curriculum and quality offered at GP. Here it is not one size fits all, true to the Montessori pedagogy, and the guides truly nurture that philosophy. I know nothing is perfect, and there is always room for improvement, but I do feel the school puts effort into listening to the parents. At least, that’s my experience. Plus my kids love it, and the friends we’ve made from the school will always be remembered. Thanks GP.

Would have to agree with Rachel on Ms. Jill. Terrible experience.

I’m active duty military, and I just got stationed in palm beach gardens. I have talked to the school staff several times in person and at the school, and they said they would call back, and they never do. I don't know if they don't want to deal with military personnel.

This school used to be so great with the old leadership. Now it is poorly ran by Ms. Jill. She is incompetent at her job. She doesn’t give you all of the information needed to make a decision, doesn’t respect you as a parent, talks over you when you’re speaking, and at you like you’re a child. The teachers are all great, but will be leaving if she stays. So glad my son will be leaving this school soon.

If you value warmth, education, community, and growth then you NEED to sign your child up at Guidepost Montessori in Gardens! We came from another daycare (traditional) and were deeply saddened by the decline the facility was taking. Our naturally smart and polite LO was coming home displaying VERY troubling behavior. We had to switch her out fast! Found GPM in Gardens and fell in LOVE! Our daughter has only been going since April, but she’s grown and excelled in so many areas, she’s almost a completely different child! All staff are welcoming, kind, and supportive to all the families. They know nearly all children by name and greet everyone that enters the door. I also love the security measures in place and the updates on my LO through the app. I honestly can’t say enough good about GPM at Gardens! I’m so thrilled to know this location goes through elementary school (my LO is 3.5 yrs old for reference)!Check them out, take a tour, ask about financial aid options, and then watch your LO excel right before your eyes!

My daughter went to this school when she turned 3 years old. What a nightmare it was for the whole family. she was in Children's place for 3-6 years old. Every week I will be called at work to come pick up my daughter because she was crying and upset. She was getting bullied by older kids, reacting to it and called out as trouble maker because of it. we would be called for parent teacher meeting every month. They also transitioned from task to another every 15-20 minutes, my daughter disliked that as she wanted to finish what she was doing. We were being told she needed special held for speech and emotional development. Finally we decided to get her to a different school. i was bracing myself for reaction in the new school and getting her extra help if needed, it has been over 6 months, not a single issue, she has made good friends and the teachers love her and care for her. If we left her at guidepost montessori she would have had mental breakdown by now.I saw your response : Check nameEvelyn Powers , Ryan Powers I am sure you will find it in your system.
