"Guidepost. There's so many good things I could say. Firstly, with this being my second Montessori school that I've worked at, I'm able to see similarities and differences between the two. Guidepost hands down have my vote! I really appreciate that this company allows their teachers to grow. As a Lead Guide, you're offered essentially the offer of a lifetime. Coming from being a teacher's assistant where my growth was stunted, and able to come here, and be offered to become a Prepared Montessorian is a blessing! I'm more than grateful for the opportunity that Guidepost has given me! I love how upfront, caring, honest, attentive, and protective my Director and Assistant Director are. I know that any question that I may have, they have an answer. I feel as though with a lot of different child care places I have worked, this is the only one that actually makes me feel wanted, appreciated, and seen. I enjoy coming to work because I know that the team we have is strong and dependable! Overall, I would recommend families to come here. I actually have and will continue to! Thank you so much Guidepost Montessori for this life-changing experience!"

"Our experience with CE Montessori started off on an incredibly positive note. Our son’s first year was fantastic—he loved his time there, and we were thrilled with the dedicated teachers and supportive community. It truly felt like the perfect place for his early education, and we were excited to continue with the school. The sense of belonging and nurturing environment initially created a great experience. However, as time went on, we began to question whether the school is truly equipped to scale its operations effectively. Several issues surfaced that led us to rethink our commitment to CE Montessori. First, transparency and communication with the administration were sorely lacking. When we decided to cancel our re-enrollment due to financial constraints (including a newborn and relocation), we requested a reconsideration of the cancellation fee, explaining that our son’s enrollment was offered as a "one-off exception" and did not incur additional marginal costs for the school. We were surprised to learn later that other families were offered spots after us and even given scholarships, which raised concerns about the school creating artificial scarcity to pressure families into signing contracts. Moreover, the contract cancellation process felt excessively rigid and focused on the financial bottom line rather than the well-being of the students and families. Despite our efforts to negotiate a fair settlement, the administration prioritized enforcing the contract and penalties. We understand the need for financial stability, but the school’s approach felt more like a business transaction than an educational partnership. Another concern is the school’s claim to offer a dual English and Spanish program, which is simply not true. While some teachers speak Spanish, there is no structured Spanish curriculum, and this was a letdown for us, as we were seeking a true bilingual education. Communication with teachers was also a challenge. Messages are filtered through the administration, and it’s hard to establish a direct connection with the teaching staff. This left us feeling distant from what was really going on in the classroom. Parent-teacher meetings were brief and unstructured, leaving us with the impression that our son’s teacher wasn’t fully on top of his progress. We expected a more dedicated teaching environment, especially with three teachers per class, but that wasn’t our experience. The semester reports we received also lacked clarity. When we asked one of our son’s teachers about the meaning of a certain rating, she wasn’t sure herself and couldn’t explain how it compared with his peers. The reports provided little insight into whether our son was making real progress, which was frustrating given how comprehensive the reporting is portrayed on the school’s website. Finally, there is no meaningful parent involvement at CE Montessori. While the school is quick to ask for financial support or invite parents to after-school thematic conferences, it doesn’t seem interested in hearing parents' concerns. At one point, I proposed creating a cross-school survey for parents to express feedback, but this idea was immediately shut down by the administration. This lack of openness and collaboration left us feeling sidelined as parents. Ultimately, while the teachers and initial experience at CE Montessori were positive, the administration’s handling of the cancellation, lack of transparency, and prioritization of finances over education left us disillusioned. The school feels more like a business than a nurturing educational center, and we hope they take steps to address these issues for the benefit of future families."

"They are not professional and are not responsible for what happens to the babies! I sent my daughter for only two days and took her out of there because of them! They don't follow the rules of the day care! Very disappointed! I saw the reviews and thought it would be good for my daughter, but it turned out to be the complete opposit! They only care about money!"

"If you're not white don't even consider sending your kids here. This place is trash. My son went to the welcome day and not a single teacher greeted us. It was uncomfortable and I already had a doubt after this if I should send my son here. My son goes 3 days a week, and it was only his 9th day and his teacher kicked him out of school. She didn't mention to me at all this could even happen. No one responded to me with the questions I had, and I felt so upset. I mean if you don't have the staff, why choose to take on that many children?"

"My child has been going here since he was 18 months old and has had the best experience there and loves every teacher. His favorite teachers are MS Kim and Ms hope. I’ve worked there for 2 years now and it’s been great working with all the kids and seeing the families that have been here for a while. It’s amazing to have my kid happy here"
