Serious delay in security deposit refund. My daughter graduated from Guideposts West Alex, VA location in July 2025. Nine months later, we still have not received her refund despite countless phone calls and email follow-ups. At one point they claimed a refund check had been issued and mailed, but they could not provide any documentation when asked. After that, they stopped responding entirely. We never received the check. Now it appears they are switching ownership and are using that as an excuse not to issue the refund. This level of unprofessionalism and stonewalling is infuriating — we trusted this company and they have betrayed that trust. What a shady, irresponsible company.

My toddler son started at Guidepost Montessori over a year ago when he was 18months and he loves going there everyday! The campus is beautiful, well kept, clean and spacious and beautifully laid out with thoughtful Montessori lessons. His teachers are kind, loving and caring. I feel comfortable leaving him in their care each day and have peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of. I see such a difference in him already with the Montessori methods they use. He is becoming a little independent toddler, loves cleaning up after himself and already knows his numbers in Spanish (he is in the Spanish Immersion program which I love about the school as well). I have visited other schools and honestly this school was the best option out of all.

Guidepost Montessori has been a wonderful fit for our 18-month-old. We’ve seen such a positive change in her independence and growing sense of confidence since she started. The environment encourages her to explore and learn at her own pace, which has been incredible to watch. We’re also very grateful for the thoughtful guidance she’s receiving from her teachers; they are attentive, supportive, and truly invested in her development. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.

I interviewed for a position in Deerfield and the director told me I would be a great fit. I have twenty years teaching experience and a clean backgrund check. She then decided to ghost me and finally after I confronted her she called me and told me that five years ago I interviewed with the other manager. I never interviewed with anyone due to the fact that they had to close Kildeer and Vernon Hills teachers who were mistreating children . I decided to give it a try and now I see why they have such a bad reputation.

When our son started at Guidepost Marietta at 16 months old, we were hoping for a place that would keep him safe, nurture his curiosity, and help him grow. What we found was something far more extraordinary. There is a clear sense of purpose, care, and thoughtfulness in how the school is run. Every interaction with leadership, and staff reflects a deep commitment not just to education, but to the wellbeing of each child and family who walks through the door. The guides are simply exceptional. They have created an environment where our son feels completely safe to be himself curious and joyful. They celebrate and gently support him through challenges, and consistently nurture his confidence and independence. We drop our son off each day knowing he is genuinely loved. That peace of mind is something every parent hopes for but few truly find. Most importantly, our son is thriving. He walks into school with excitement, comes home with stories, new skills, and growing confidence. He is learning in an environment that allows him to shine in his own way, at his own pace. It is rare to find a place where your child is so thoughtfully nurtured and where you feel such deep trust in the people caring for your child. We are incredibly grateful our son is growing up in this community.

I love Guidepost for a few reason. The main one being that I know my kids are loved just like they would be at home. The staff, from the front desk to the amazing teachers, are absolutely incredible and they go above and beyond when it comes to our little ones. When I drop my kids off, I dont feel like I am leaving them with strangers, it is like a second home to them. The second reason I love guidepost so much, is it is not daycare it is school. They learn and grow so much with the guidance of their teacher and staff. I am constantly amazed at what my 2 year old knows and what she says she learns at school. Our journey with guidepost started 3 years ago when guidepost opened their doors. My son was enrolled in their toddler program. He went on to childrens house and completed his pre-k year at guidepost. He has since graduated but is excelling in his kindergarten year and has been placed in an accelerated kindergarten program in large part to the teaching and foundation he received during his time at guidepost. Our journey has now continued with our daughter who is now enrolled in the same toddler class her brother was in. We love, love, love our guidepost community and staff.

We feel incredibly grateful to Ms. Jessy and the wonderful team of guides at Guidepost Montessori Palm Beach. What makes Ms. Jessy so special is that beyond her strong Montessori experience, she genuinely cares about building meaningful connections with each of her students and their families. You can truly feel how much she loves what she does. Both of our children had the opportunity to learn and grow in her class, and her kindness, nurturing nature, and deep care for every child truly stand out. Thanks to the thoughtful activities she and her team plan each day, our toddler daughter has made wonderful progress in her gross motor skills. We also greatly appreciate how the school creates many opportunities for families to connect, fostering a strong and welcoming sense of community.

Our 3 year old daughter started with the Guidepost Toddler classroom when she was around 20 months old. The guides were so supportive when she struggled to transition to school after staying at home with grandparents previously. Within weeks she was absolutely thriving! She is now in Children's House and asks to stay for a few extra minutes after pickup so she can play with her friends. The Montessori educational approach fits her independent personality by encouraging her to think critically and make decisions for herself. The mixed age environment has been a good experience for her as an only child. She comes home weekly having learned a new surprising skill (whether academic, emotional or social). The community of the school has been a big positive as well. It is so nice to have opportunities to connect with other families at the school and build a stronger support system for our children. Highly recommend this community!
