I highly recommend enrolling your child in Guidepost at Spruce Tree. My three year old daughter fell in love with the environment from the moment we stepped in. We took our tour and after she kept asking when we could go back. I knew this was the school for her! Her guides are the sweetest! They take genuinely good care of every student and send photos of activities being taught in the classroom with a link to describe the activity and ways to implement the activity at home. The guides in the classroom go above and beyond each day to ensure your child is safe, learning and having fun! Every staff member has been so nice and welcoming to my family and I. The assistant head of school helped keep us at ease on our daughter's first day. She ensured our daughter's first day was smooth and gave me a call for peace of mind. She has been a joy to talk to and has always been helpful whenever we have questions. We have really enjoyed Guidepost!

This place is Amazing, the staff is so friendly and caring. They understand that it is natural for a child to be apprehensive about going to school or daycare for the first time and the staff and teachers are extremely patient and understanding. The teachers here are so incredibly sweet and kind. They have been so supportive and compassionate which has helped ease any anxiety we were experiencing about the initial transition from home to school. If you are looking for a school for the first time and you are at all nervous about where they are going and who will be teaching them, this is the perfect place. When we started, we had the most amazing teacher so when it was time to advance to the next class we were concerned about how our child was going to adapt moving from such a great teacher and classroom but we are thrilled with our child’s new teachers and the love and support she receives. We are very grateful for everyone at Guidepost Montessori and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

The staff and administration have been so amazing here. Our twins have been with guidepost in their Spanish immersion program since they were 18 months. I would say that although there has been a couple of changes in leadership and with the guides, this train still runs so nicely. It's as if the right people are meant to be a part of this environment. And now that we have reached some sort of calm with COVID, I can look back and think about how grateful i was to be able to have two of some of this school's best guides continue the program in my home, until that was no longer an option when everything first shut down. As my daughter runs through the halls hugging guides and my son walks in so confident, I think about this and smile. No school I would imagine is perfect... but even through the hiccups the guides and leadership find a way to work through it all with grace. I could go on and on...Thank you all so much!

We love being a part of the guidepost family! The teachers and staff are all so lovely, caring, and helpful. The facility is clean and safe. They also have great technology including daily newsletters with photos and activity updates of your child’s day. We really appreciate the Montessori approach and our toddler has flourished in this new environment. They even helped to potty train her before her second birthday! We look forward to continuing to grow within this community.

Our daughter is in the Spanish immersion class for toddlers, and has been for over six months. We cannot praise her teacher, Miss Nicole, enough for all that she’s done for her. It is apparent that her Spanish skills are night and day better than they were before starting at Guidepost. On top of that, she is acting independently and is learning the skills that help strengthen her autonomy. We love Guidepost and highly recommend Miss Nicole’s Spanish class!

My son attends this school and his guide, Miss Rebecca is an absolute gem. Every day I get pictures of my son experiencing new activities and growing his skills. The advancement that my son has shown over his six months in school compared to his is amazing. The seriousness in which they take health precautions during these trying times fills me with confidence that my child will be safe.

Our two year old is in one of the Spanish Immersion classes and we absolutely love it. The opportunity to learn and be immersed in another language and learn different cultures at such a young age is what drew us to the school. The way the children are taught grace and courtesy, patience, sharing and life skills is beautiful. The children are calm and happy. This school is incredible and we are beyond happy!The Guides and staff at Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree are all so genuinely caring, warm and nurturing. Our son loves going to school and we are thrilled with the care and learning experience he receives. The way Guidepost has responded to C-19 has been so reassuring and we feel safe and comforted knowing our son isn't missing out on socialization, learning and fun. The Guidepost family continues to include parents as much as possible via online reading circles, parties and more.Thank you Guidepost for all you do for the children and us parents! We are grateful for you beyond measure!

My son, George, has been attending Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree since he was only eight weeks old in the midst of the pandemic. With so much uncertainty going on in the world, Guidepost was the one thing I could be sure of. I knew my son would be in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Although, George has only attended school for a little over six months I have seen him grow in his independence and become his own person. I am so grateful that my child has the opportunity to attend a school where his guides (teachers) are dedicated in investing in him. Our family adores the individualized approach and the option for Spanish Immersion. It is extremely important to me that George is exposed to other languages, cultures, and traditions and that is exactly what he is getting, even in the infant classroom! If you are looking for a school for your child and want them to be seen as an individual I would definitely recommend Guidepost Montessori. I cannot thank Guidepost enough for all they do for our son.

This place is beyond amazing! We moved to the area knowing no one and toured Guidepost while looking for a Montessori school for our son. Guidepost was so welcoming and was able to help us out-even through the Covid crisis. Our son has not only grown and learned so much, but he has thrived in his education in every way at Guidepost! From mind, body and social skills- Guidepost helps your child grow and learn through kindness and mutual respect. You can tell that those who work there love their job and love their kids. My son used to be so upset going to his old daycare, but he now happily walks in independently with a smile on his face every morning to be greeted by his teachers! We are so grateful for such a supportive place- where not only do we know our son is well cared for- but we can also see so much improvement at home- his communication has skyrocketed, he sleeps through the night, he is more settled, and he has such confidence in his independence- and he’s just a toddler! Thank you so much Guidepost- I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a well rounded education!!

So thankful that our son is in this wonderful Montessori environment. Have been in both the English and Spanish Immersion classrooms; both were excellent. Safe, often quiet and calm (especially considering all the excited little ones), a place dedicated to quality learning - cannot recommend highly enough.

My wife and I are very happy with the school. We have seen Matthew grow and mature in the 2 years he has been attending. He has developed strong social skills, he has developed his personality and also strengthened his self confidence. We are very grateful to the teachers and staff of the school. Matthew came from Chile and only spoke spanish but thanks to his teachers now Matthew is fully bilingual and ready to start 1st grade at his new school.

My family has been apart of the Guidepost Community for a bit over a year now, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I just so happen to be an employee and a parent, and having a perspective from both sides has been such an amazing experience.My daughter started her Montessori journey at 3 years old, and I have seen her grow beyond any of my expectations. Kassidy was at an in-home center for just a short time before coming to Guidepost and like any one would be that has only learned about Montessori in college, I was skeptical about how she would learn in an environment that seemed so advanced. Maria Montessori once said "Education is a natural process carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment," and Kassidy has taken so much away from her classroom in such a short amount of time and I wouldn't want her to be any where else.I especially want to shout out the administration team at Guidepost who have supported my family through many things and have always have the best interest of Kassidy throughout her transition into a Montessori child.I'm hoping to see an Elementary program start over the next couple of years! ☺️
