Guidepost at Legacy has been a wonderful experience for my family. The experienced, all Montessori-certified guides provide exceptional care and education, creating an amazing environment where you really see the children thrive. The classrooms are beautiful, calm, The Teacher- student ratio is great, and the parent community has become like an extended family to us. After visiting many schools across North Texas, I could not find another school that matched the authenticity, quality, and warmth of Guidepost Montessori at Legacy.

Miss Helena and Miss Dayanna are exceptional educators who provide a warm, nurturing, and structured environment in the Guidepost Montessori toddler classroom. Their dedication to fostering early independence and emotional growth has been transformative for my child. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and love that Miss Helena and Miss Dayanna bring to the toddler classroom at Guidepost Montessori in Duluth. Transitioning a toddler into school is no easy task, but these two teachers made it a seamless and joyful experience. They deeply understand the Montessori philosophy and treat each child with respect and patience. Under their guidance, we have seen our toddler blossom in independence, confidence, and social-emotional development.

I could not recommend or rave more about this school. I started my son at 18 months and in the last year, I have seen such tremendous growth in academics, socially, in his confidence, and in his independence. They have found a way to teach while keeping it fun and allowing the children to take pride and ownership in learning on their own. The teachers and staff genuinely love and care about their students, keep a strong line of communication open with the parents, and celebrate our kids as if they were their own. I have referred so many of my friends to this school because I truly credit them for my son's immense growth and love for learning.

When we arrived at Guidepost Montessori Hollywood, we were coming from a war zone. We were exhausted, overwhelmed, and my toddler had never set foot in a school before. What we found there was nothing short of extraordinary !!! In barely ten weeks, the guides and staff at Guidepost welcomed us with a grace and warmth I will never forget. They didn’t just enroll my daughter — they embraced her. They gave her structure when everything around us felt uncertain, and they gave her love when she needed it most. In that short time, she was potty trained, she learned to follow a schedule, took in great lessons and she began to truly thrive in the Montessori environment. But what moved me most was the professional work ethic of the entire team. Every single person we encountered — from the teachers in her classroom (Ms Fanny and Ms Florencia + Ms Alma) to the front office welcome by School Director and management staff ( Ms Diana, Ms Estefania, Ms Raquel) — All showed up with consistency, intention, and deep care. Communication with our family was thoughtful and reassuring. The Montessori philosophy came to life not just in the activities, but in the way the guides saw and honored my daughter as an individual. Guidepost Montessori Hollywood didn’t just give my child a first school experience. They gave our family a safe place to land during one of the hardest chapters of our lives. I am endlessly grateful. 🙌🏽🥹❤️

We’ve been at Guidepost for 3.5 years, and I wanted to leave an honest review for families considering the school. Our experience has had both positives and challenges over the years. Too many to fit in a post so I'll try to give the highlights. There have definitely been growing pains with the company, a lot of changes, and periods where it felt like the school struggled to maintain the strong sense of community and small calm classrooms we originally saw when we toured. The larger class sizes can make individualized attention difficult and classes can be chaotic at times, and the staff turnover over the years meant there was never a lead guide with my son long enough to truly know him year after year. I do feel that negatively impacted parts of his learning experience and our experience overall. That said, the women who are there every day truly care about these children. The long term staff members are deeply loved by the families, and I absolutely believe they love and care for the kids in return. My son’s current lead guide has worked very hard to learn who he is as a learner and person, communicate regularly with us, and partner with us to help keep him on track in kindergarten. That relationship has meant a lot to our family. The assistant guide has been there almost as long as my son, and he calls her his school grandma, they very much have a bond. One of the main reasons we chose the school was the Spanish immersion program, which felt especially important living in South Florida. My son is not fluent after 3.5 years, but he understands his teachers well and, this year, has finally started responding to them in full Spanish sentences, which has been wonderful to see. We are not spanish speakers at home so this was a very big plus to find a full immersion daycare, which weirdly is not easy to find around here. I’m grateful for Guidepost. Our experience was not exactly what we expected when we first enrolled, but my son has been safe, cared for, loved, and he has learned a great deal as have I. As working parents without additional childcare support, the reliability of the school, the long hours, and the consistent availability, especially during summers and school breaks, has been incredibly important for our family. This is one of several reasons we decided to stay for the kindergarten year vs switching to a different school, and I do think that was the right choice. The new leadership also seems to be making a real effort to rebuild community through events and better communication, and I appreciate seeing that effort. I do believe this will continue to improve. At the end of the day, while it may not have been the elite Montessori experience we originally signed up for, it has been a safe, clean, reliable place filled with caring people that offers spanish immersion. And ultimately, that is exactly where I want my child to be. For that reason, I’m giving 5 stars and would recommend this location if you are looking for care for your child.

Best preschool in the area! I sent both of my boys here and wish we could stay forever. Teachers and admin are incredibly loving

I truly have loved bringing our children to the campus and seeing how much they have grown this year! Our oldest has begun working with math concepts at 4 years old and has blossoming friendships! We can see the guidance from his lead guide and how she really connects with him to help him not only academically but socially too. Our youngest is also thriving so much in Spanish immersion! We were nervous for his transition from the infant room to toddlers but both of his guides supported him so much. We also really enjoy seeing the pictures about the activities our son is engaging in the afternoons. The school events have been a really great opportunity to connect with parents and the staff. It really brings the sense of community to our school. Leadership has been welcoming with everything from our tour to how to potty train. Cannot recommend this campus enough!

My nephew attends this school and he's always telling me about his day and how it's different than his soccer team friends days at school. He says that it doesn't feel boring and that he has the chance to make his own decisions. Over the last year he's been really excelling at math and I'd assume it's due to what he's learning at school. He mentions that his teachers are really nice and patient and that makes him feel relaxed and not sad about having to go to school like some of his other friends.
