Guidepost Montessori at West Loop

My daughter always had a positive experience in her classroom, and that is ultimately the only thing that matters. My girl was always happy at pick up and drop off. Grateful for that at the moment in time we were there. Again, the most important thing. On the organizational & leadership front, there was a lot to be desired, which felt a bit unacceptable especially in retrospect and at the price point. There were a lot of leadership changes in the short time we were there and not a lot of proactive communication about it. Nothing terrible, but there were just a lot of strange disorganized things that happened. I have since enrolled at a different daycare and they are far more organized & communicative. Feels like night and day in ways I didn't even realize at the time.

Our little guy started in the Nido classroom in February when he was just a few weeks old, and he's now a thriving 6-month-old! We couldn't be happier with our experience so far. The guides are incredibly caring and attentive, and they truly create a warm and nurturing environment for the babies. We've been so impressed with their communication and how well they know our son's individual needs and preferences. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and we always feel like a part of the Guidepost family when we're there. We can't recommend this school enough for families looking for a Montessori education in the West Loop!

The teachers and administration are so supportive. Our daughter is 15 mo old and in the Nido classroom. The teachers, staff and guides made the transition so wonderful. They have also worked so much to help us also receive Early Intervention therapy while our daughter is at school and it is so helpful to have this integrated with her school day and teachers.

My child has attended Guidepost for almost a year and a half. As a first time mom, the guides really put all your worries at ease. They truly are the most nurturing, caring, and help your little one blossom into themselves every step of the way! My little one absolutely adores his guides with all of his heart, he is happy to go to school. The independence that is fostered through their Montessori curriculum has immensely contributed to his development. We get photos daily of what they do and it’s always so impressive to see. Highly recommend booking a tour and joining the GPWL community!

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with Guidepost Montessori West Loop. My son started daycare in the Nido class when he was just ten months old, and I am impressed with the love, patience, and care that the staff has given to him. Despite facing some developmental challenges due to his premature birth, the guidance provided by Mrs. Blanca, Serenity, and Nellie has been exceptional. Their genuine care and thoughtfulness have left me completely overwhelmed. I am particularly grateful to Mrs. Blanca, who has consistently provided me with progress notes, suggestions, and words of encouragement. As new parents, her kind and supportive approach have set the bar high as we search for similar compassion in our daycare journey. I would like to add that the daycare is always clean and organized and has ample parking. The security measures are top-notch, and the location is ideal. I highly recommend taking a tour with them if you're looking for a suitable daycare for your child. Once again, thank you, Guidepost.

I have 6 children and my youngest of 6 goes here. The other 5 were at different schools . This has been far and away the best experience for my child. She has excelled at a faster pace in all facets of learning.

Our family has been so impressed during our time with Guidepost West Loop. We could not have asked for a better place for our toddler to learn, grow and interact over the last few years. Our son started at Guidepost in the Young Toddler classroom, and the team made a new and challenging transition incredibly smooth and comfortable for him. He’s been in the Toddler classroom for the last year, and the growth and confidence we’ve seen from him is outstanding. He is his own independent, fun and kind person, and we have all of the Guidepost teachers to thank for that. He’s excited to go to school in the morning to see his friends and teachers, and he always comes home sharing new and exciting things about his day. We are grateful for the entire team’s dedication to the students and school and appreciated the frequent updates and clear communication. A special thank you to Ms. Ticarra, Ms. Rosalina, Tremaine and Yessenia — we’d highly recommend Guidepost to any families looking.

Our son started in the Toddler room at Guidepost this past summer with no prior daycare experience. It took less than 2 weeks for our son to change from resisting drop-off to giving us a "Bye mom, bye dad!" as soon as we arrived. Guidepost excels in the quality of care and education they provide as well as the support they give to parents. Tuition covers not only the hours of childcare and Montessori education, but also fun afterschool events, including a “Parents Night Out” where the kids have a fun activity for a couple of hours on a Friday evening to give parents a chance to go out, all of which we have really enjoyed participating in. Our favorite aspects of the education our son receives at Guidepost are the quality materials & beautiful environment, clear tracking of our child’s progress in his motor skills, learning & mastery of materials/Montessori “works” through the Transparent Classroom App, and the obvious expertise and experience of the teachers and staff. The classroom teachers have provided us with regular feedback of our son’s development. The potty training the kids receive in the Toddler classroom is simply a godsend. I highly recommend Guidepost to any families who are looking for quality childcare in a Montessori environment.
