You know how they say it takes a village to a raise a little one? Only, these days, that village is practically nonexistent? Well, we found our village in Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree. As Type A parents who went above and beyond in our search for the perfect school for our little one, they have exceeded our expectations. This isn't just a place to park your child while you work, this is a loving community, dedicated to the education, growth, and support of every child in their classrooms. The teachers are passionate educators and guides with grace, passion, and dedication. The administrators are dedicated to ensuring you and your child have a wonderful experience at the school, and that any needs or concerns are addressed promptly and fairly. All of the teachers and administrators treat you and your child as members of their community, not just paying customers. Our little one absolutely LOVES going to school here. It's obvious how happy and safe she feels here. She adores her teachers, and she has grown SO MUCH in her confidence, capabilities, and curiosity. The classroom sizes are perfect, their daily routine is consistent and engaging, and all of the children seem content and like their individual needs are met, making for a healthy, thriving classroom for all each and every day. As parents, it's priceless to feel our child is not only safe, but also being poured into every day, and learning from her peers. We couldn't be more grateful for this community, and we look forward to continuing to watch our child - and future children! - thrive here in the coming years! Thank you Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree, for being that village for our family!

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!

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!

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.
