The incredible care, compassion, and dedication from the guides at Montclair Guidepost are the qualities that make us feel like our child is well taken care of. The curriculum’s emphasis on developmentally appropriate independence learning is really important to us as a family. We are so grateful for this school and community.

I’ve lost faith in the leadership and administration specifically as it relates to frequent and very impactful staff turnover which has had a negative impact on my son. Turnover has led to new (temporary?) assistants who don’t know which child belongs to which parent.

Our experience at Guidepost Montessori of Montclair has been exceptional. We have attended this school for more than a year and cannot speak any higher of this school. The guides are amazing and with the well maintained Montessori environment my child has thrived. We highly recommend this school and every single staff member! They all make my child feel special and loved.

Our son started at Guidepost in Montclair this past September and he’s already learned so much! He’s not even 2 yet, but he now knows how to put his shoes on and take them off by himself. He follows instructions so much better, but at the same time has become a lot more independent. The student teacher ratio is great - 12 students in his group and 3 teachers. Our son absolutely loves his main teacher Ms. Ivonne - he gives her a big hug every morning when we get there. Almost every day they send you pictures of your child doing various Montessori activities. It’s a great school with caring and dedicated teachers. It’s a bit pricey, but definitely worth it.

Love love love this school, community and most of all the teachers and administrators! They all listen attentively and make you feel at ease about whatever concern you may be having. I have two kids, one left to elementary but my second one is still enrolled there and we don’t plan on taking her out for another two years. It’s nice to go to work and know that your kids are in good hands and being educated every moment they are in school! Words are not enough to thank these selfless and kind women! Always talk highly of this school and def recommend it to everyone!

My daughter started at Guidepost Montessori at Montclair in April and we have been so happy! The staff is all so helpful, friendly, caring, and supportive. The facility is beautifully set-up and the classrooms are so well thought out for the children. I know my child is with AMAZING teachers, they all are always willing to answer questions, update us about her day, and keep us informed! Our daughter comes home everyday talking about her teachers, friends, and how fun school is!

Guidepost Montclair has warm and caring staff. Our children love going to school and the improvements over the past year have been really great. I have to disagree with Kim S’s review. I never saw her at any of the monthly parent meetings, parent input is always welcome and we received several months notice for changes which were always for the better. I highly recommend this center.

We love Guidepost Montclair. We are a military family and they walked us through the process for Army Child Care Aware. More importantly the staff here is amazing. Our son is thriving at his new school. If you are looking for a great developmental program, not just childcare, this is the place for your family.

My negative rating is based on my interactions with Ms. Price. Original start time was changed to seven instead of six which caused a major inconvenience for my husband and myself. We both work in the DMV & have to commute north. Guidepost didn't consult parents' about the schedule change or how it could affect families. Therefore, we had to disenrollour daughter. We called to pick up her things and Ms. Price said that she would call us back. She never called us back. We had to keep calling, talking to other employees and sending emails. She eventuallyreplied to our email. She let us know how much money we owed and let us know that our daughter's belongings were put outside on a bench. However, Ms Julia., Ms. Natalia, and Ms.Tony our wonderful teachers and we will miss them!!! We appreciate everything that these three ladies did for our daughter.
