Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek

We are absolutely thrilled with Cypress Creek Guidepost Montessori School! The care and attention they provide for my son are truly exceptional. The teachers are not only incredibly kind but also proactive in communicating with parents, which makes us feel deeply involved in our child’s journey. The variety of activities offered is impressive, and it’s evident how much thought goes into creating a stimulating and nurturing environment for the children. The school has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere—it genuinely feels like one big family. We are so grateful for the love, dedication, and passion the staff puts into their work every day. I highly recommend Cypress Creek Guidepost Montessori to any parent looking for a safe, enriching, and caring place for their child to grow and thrive.

Whenever I visit this campus, both the guides and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The guides are always attentive, knowledgeable and very hands on when helping the students. This school is an incredibly engaging and positive environment for the students enrolled here.

My first experience with Montessori was 10 years ago, with my son, at a Montessori school in a different state. I was quite disappointed with what was touted as Montessori and the results I saw with my son. The freedom that comes with the Montessori method didn’t suit him, as he would take advantage of it by reading books all day instead of participating in lessons. At the time, my priority was simply having someone take care of him since both parents worked. As long as he was safe, that was enough. I didn’t think much more about it until it was time to put my daughter into daycare, as our parental leave was coming to an end. From the options available, enrolling her in a “private school” seemed like the best choice, hoping she would learn something and not just play all day. I first placed her at the Brushy Creek campus, because they have classrooms for babies. The price seemed steep for just feeding and changing diapers, but again, I figured you pay for quality. Well… I was surprised by how quickly she was developing. She started walking at 10 months old, communicated her needs through sounds and sign language, and got along well with other kids. The benefits of socializing her early were obvious. I started thinking there might be more to Montessori than I originally thought. It wasn’t until we transferred her to the Cypress Creek campus, closer to home, that I truly realized how wrong I had been about Montessori. At Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek, I saw just how incredible the Montessori method can be when done right. The school has provided an exceptional learning environment for my daughter, with a strong focus on individualized education and fostering independence. The Montessori philosophy is clearly evident in every aspect of the school's approach, from the thoughtfully prepared classrooms to the well-structured activities that promote creativity, critical thinking, and self-discipline. Her teachers, Mrs. Ebelia and her assistant Alex, have been amazing. They are both professional, caring, and highly qualified, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere for the students. I have seen remarkable growth in my child's confidence and ability to tackle challenges on her own, and I attribute a lot of that progress to the nurturing environment they've created. One of the standout aspects of the school is the abundance of activities they offer to bring the community together. Whether it's events for families, parent workshops, or school celebrations, Guidepost Montessori does an incredible job of fostering a strong sense of connection and engagement between parents, teachers, and students. Additionally, the diversity of my daughter’s classmates is remarkable. She is surrounded by children from various backgrounds, which enriches her learning experience and broadens her understanding of the world around her. The communication between the school and parents is outstanding—I'm always kept informed about my child's progress and any updates regarding the school. The leadership at Guidepost Montessori is also worth noting. They are approachable, proactive, and genuinely care about the development and well-being of the students. It's clear that they are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in education. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our choice to enroll at Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek. It has truly been a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing, innovative, and effective learning environment for their child.

Guidepost Montessori Cypress Creek has well-equipped facilities, excellent work group, and guides who are absolutely caring and nurturing! There you will find a safe environment with trained personnel to provide your children with security and all the care they need to feel at home and THRIVE. I am very happy to be a part of the Guidepost Montessori family ☺️💙

I need to begin this review by clarifying a misunderstanding I had when enrolling my kid at this school. It is NOT named after a dinosaur. In fact, there are no dinosaurs named Montessori, Montessorous, Montessori Rex, Montessoridon, or even Montessoridactyl. I think Montessori is Italian, actually. Next obvious question: Were all dinosaurs Italian? This is hotly debated amongst anthropologists even today. My theory is that yes, and that what actually killed the dinosaurs was not a meteor from space, but rather a meteor-sized meatball. All evidence is forthcoming once I can find a scientific journal that will publish my thesis. Anyway, back to the review of the school. Hold on to your butts... I have two children that attend the school. One of them is in the toddler classroom, and the other is in one of the Children's Houses. (They call them houses despite the fact that they are obviously classrooms. I don't know why. When you reach out to admissions, you can use that as an icebreaker. You're welcome). My partner, my kids, and I have all been very pleased with both classrooms. Montessori schools treat their students as fully capable people with their own agency. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, but somehow they make it work. When you watch a classroom in full swing, it's like a well-oiled machine. The students are working either independently or cooperatively. They are cleaning up after themselves, being respectful towards others, and are highly attentive towards their classwork. They are very clever girls and boys. This is a testament to the excellent guides (their term for teachers, again I don't know why, there's your second icebreaker). It sounds impossible but, uh, the guides find a way. The administration is also wonderful. They are pro-active with their communications, and we always feel in the loop. Almost every day there are optional extra-curricular activity options on the school grounds, which is super convenient. Things like art, gym, and soccer. The school is a great size. It's small enough that it feels like a real community. Everyone on the staff knows our kids' names, even guides of different classrooms, and they know both my partner and me. There are frequent classroom-wide and school-wide events, both in person and remote. There's an outdoor playground, of course, and a garden area that gets frequent use. All of the children participate in maintaining it, which is cool. Tuition is reasonable, even though it seems like they've spared no expense, so that's nice. Well, readers, after careful consideration, and despite the lack of actual dinosaurs, I've decided to endorse Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek.

My granddaughter attended Children’s House at Guidepost Cypress Creek, She loved the school especially their massive playground. Attended gardening classes and enjoyed learning more about plants. She graduated to Elementary school recently but still talks about the guides and her peers. Thank you Guidepost Team

Deciding on a school for our little one was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with uncertainty and parental jitters. But our experience with Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek was like finding a beacon of warmth and reassurance in the midst of it all. Walking through the doors of Guidepost at Cypress Creek, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The onboarding process wasn't just about paperwork; it was about getting to know our family, understanding our parental beliefs, educational needs and easing our anxieties every step of the way. The school tour wasn't just a routine walkthrough; it was a chance to see our child's potential new world through her eyes. Everybody we came across through the tour was extremely nice and helpful. Being able to peek into the classrooms and witness the learning in action was incredibly comforting. It wasn't about fancy presentations; it was about real-life learning, recognizing children’s potentials, fostering their independence and joy. But what really stole our hearts was the invitation to an internal school event. The Head of School, Ms. Lauren personally greeted us and our daughter, meeting the guides, Ms. Ebelia and Ms. Alex and mingling with other parents made us feel like we were already part of a caring community. Seeing the joy on the faces of other parents reassured us that we were in the right place. Knowing where we were leaving our precious one and who would be watching over her meant everything to us. Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek isn't just a school; it's a home away from home, filled with love and laughter. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend Guidepost Montessori at Cypress Creek to any parent looking for that perfect blend of education and genuine care.

Guidepost Montessori is such a great learning environment for my two boys. From Ms Ebelia in toddlers to Ms Lauren in the office, they made us feel welcome from day 1.

I am writing this review to express my deep appreciation and positive experience with Guidepost Montessori that my children have been fortunate enough to attend. The school has been exceptional in providing an enriching, stimulating, and nurturing environment for my children. A critical factor in this positive experience has been the dedicated and talented staff. Ms. Ebelia has been remarkable in her role. Her passion for education and the children is evident in everything she does. Her approach to teaching is an excellent blend of patience, understanding, and encouragement, which not only makes my children excited to learn but also nurtures their growth and development. Ms. Deanna is another gem in the school. Her ability to engage children and make learning fun and interactive is truly impressive. She has a natural talent for connecting with the students and fostering a love for learning. Her dedication to the children's educational growth and personal development is truly admirable. Lastly, I cannot go without mentioning the fantastic leadership of Ms. Lauren, the head of school. Her vision for the school, combined with her unwavering commitment to the students, is truly inspiring. She consistently ensures that the school maintains its high standards and that every child receives an enriching learning experience. I am sincerely grateful for the positive impact Guidepost Montessori has had on my children. It is a place where they are nurtured to be independent, curious, and responsible learners.
