our vision.
We believe education should honor the timeless wisdom of Montessori while preparing children for the world they are growing up in today. That means:
- Classrooms where children feel confident, curious, and joyful.
- A consistent, high-quality curriculum that helps children make real progress.
- Welcoming school communities where families feel connected and supported.
- Tools and ideas that make Montessori accessible to more children and families.
When you step into one of our schools, you’ll feel the warmth, the sense of purpose, and the delight that comes from a community built around children and their growth.
our core values.
At Guidepost, we believe children and families flourish when the right conditions are prepared.
These values shape how we teach, how we lead, and how we welcome you into our community.
Be who you say you are
Trust is at the heart of every relationship. We model integrity by aligning our words and actions, even in challenging moments. Families can count on us to show up with consistency, care, and skill.
For parents, this means: you can trust that what we promise is what we deliver—reliable care, authentic Montessori, and educators who lead by example.
Hold the door
Belonging doesn’t just happen—it’s prepared with intention. From the way we greet your child in the morning to the small traditions that make a school feel like home, we focus on creating a warm, joyful space where everyone feels welcome.
For parents, this means: you and your child will always feel invited in, seen, and cared for.
Own your impact
Children watch and learn from how we show up each day. That’s why we take ownership of our actions, lead with purpose, and stay open to feedback and growth.
For parents, this means: your child’s teachers are thoughtful, prepared, and always looking for ways to make each experience meaningful and supportive of your child’s development.
Make it count
We focus on what matters most: the growth and well-being of each child. We combine careful observation with data and reflection to ensure children are thriving, and we continuously improve based on what we learn.
For parents, this means: your child’s progress is guided by both Montessori principles and a clear understanding of their individual journey.
The child at the center, always
Every decision we make comes back to one question: Does this help the child grow with confidence and joy? We honor each child’s individuality and trust in their natural drive to learn.
For parents, this means: your child is never just one of many. They are seen, respected, and supported to flourish on their own terms.
