Guidepost Montessori - Montclair Reviews 6

Our experience with Guidepost Montessori at Montclair has truly been a blessing for our family. As our son’s very first school and daycare experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for him to begin this journey.

From day one, we watched him grow in ways that amazed us. He has learned so much — not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Seeing him gain independence, confidence, and curiosity has been incredible.

What has meant the most to us is how deeply his teachers care. Ms. Veronica and Ms. Michele have been absolutely wonderful. Their patience, warmth, and genuine love for the children show every single day. They took the time to understand him, support him, and encourage him at his own pace. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind.

One of the most special parts has been watching him interact with other children and make friends for the first time. Seeing him talk about his classmates, share, laugh, and build those early friendships has been priceless.

We are so grateful for the nurturing, structured, and supportive environment Guidepost Montessori at Montclair provides. It has been the perfect first school experience for our son, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child will truly be seen, supported, and helped to thrive.

We absolutely love our child’s Guidepost! Our two-year-old has grown so much in independence, confidence, and social skills. The guides are warm, patient, and truly care about each child. The classroom environment is calm, nurturing, and perfectly designed for hands-on learning. We feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our little one!

The school community really is a gem. The Lead Guides create true partnership with the families and academically I’m impressed by the gains my son has made. The admin team always helps lead solid events for the holidays and has consistent communication. It seems like Montclair’s best kept secret and in the meantime I’ll appreciate the small class sizes!

We have been at Guidepost Montessori at Montclair for the last five years, all three of my kids have attended and I could not have asked for a better school for them! I am forever grateful for the kind staff, supportive community, and beautiful Montessori environment. I feel so lucky that my children have had the opportunity to attend this school. The have always been safe, well cared for, and received an amazing education. My oldest graduated last year and was so well prepared for 1st grade and fluent in Spanish! Thank you to the amazing staff at Montclair, they are truly such a blessing!

We are proud guidepost parents. Our Montclair campus has been a true blessing and a lovely experience. Our child connected with the teachers much more than anywhere else we've been. They made our child feel safe and the staff here is providing us with an unbelievable experience.
We are grateful to have found a trustworthy group of teachers and caretakers. We are leaving our most valued treasure in the hands of the teachers and they've made it possible for us to be at ease.
Under the leadership of Ms. Aracelly, our experience has been 10/10. And Ms Josephina will always have a place in our heart for the warmth she showed our little one during a very stressful transition.

Guidepost Montessori has been an absolutely wonderful environment for my daughter. We were initially drawn to Guidepost by their Spanish Immersion offering and were extremely pleased to learn that our daughter could complete her KG year with Guidepost - in Spanish. As non-native Spanish speakers, our goal has been to engage with external sources to expose our daughter to as much Spanish language as possible, helping build a foundation for bilingualism - and Guidepost is meeting (and exceeding!) expectations for their support in our goal as well. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time in the classroom, she adores her teachers and the other staff members, and Guidepost has quickly started to feel like a “family” for us. From the school leadership team (Ms Aracelly and Ms Nuria) to the classroom teachers (Ms Netty and Ms Silvia), all staff members are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and loving - and you can tell they are passionate about helping the kids learn.

Based on our experience so far, we look forward to having our 2 younger children attend Guidepost in the future as well!
