Guidepost Montessori at Peoria

Guidepost was an amazing experience for our child! The facility, staff, and everyday experience not only taught my child how to be a problem solver, but how to socialize with his friends. The staff are top notch and work consistently to provide the best environment possible. Can't recommend enough!

I was very nervous about putting my son into any preschool programs. As a parent, it is very scary to think about your child being with anyone other then you or trusted family. I looked into several different schools in my area and I am so thankful I found Guidepost Montessori at Peoria. My son has done so well in the Children's House program here. He loves his teachers and I feel very comfortable with him being there while I am at work. Highly recommend!!

We love Guidepost and our daughter's teachers/guides at the school.  She has been attending since she was 18 months and is currently 4.5 years old and is enrolled in the Spanish Immersion program.  I feel like the staff legitimately care about her and her well-being and everyone is very kind and friendly. Once a quarter, they have an event for the families to get together where they have bounce houses, activities, and a DJ and I think these are fun for the kids and to meet other families.  We love the Montessori approach which encourages independence and autonomy and self-directed play and love that they have a Spanish Immersion program.  We joke that our daughter corrects our Spanish and teaches us new words.  All around, we recommend Guidepost withput any reservation.

We have since moved our daughter across town due to a job change, but she was enrolled at Guidepost Montessori from the time she was 18 months until she was over 3 years old. I can't say enough good things about this school under Ms. Shara's leadership.

Our daughter learned critical life skills at a young age. She was picking up after herself at the dinner table and cleaning up her toys at 18 months. She also gained the ability to focus on a task to completion. These skills amazed our friends who, like us, didn't think such things possible at so young an age.

Learning a second language was very important to my wife and I, and we really wanted our daughter to have that ability from a young age. The Montessori Method was not something we were familiar with, but we are very happy that our daughter was educated at a Montessori School because the skills she developed will serve her for a lifetime.

The lead teachers at this school are wonderful. Our daughter had a special connection with Mrs. Veronica, who was her teacher for almost half our daughter's life. Our daughter still talks about "Ms. Vero" as though she were family. Our daughter spent a few months in Ms. Maricela and Ms. Lupita's class, and she was beginning to form the same kind of bond with them that she had established with her previous teachers.

The school is immaculately clean, and from what I can tell, they genuinely follow the Montessori Method. I would recommend this school to anyone who may be interested in their child learning Spanish, or being educated the Montessori Way.

Guidepost builds a wonderful foundation for children. My son learnt independence, structure, life skills and so much more. The guides are incredibly kind and patient. I felt reassured knowing I had left my son in such capable hands.

Both of our daughters were enrolled at Guidepost Montessori at Peoria in the Spanish immersion tract (with our youngest starting in the infant class). From my understanding, the Guidepost campus at Peoria is truly unique as it is the only Guidepost campus in the valley with infant care and Spanish immersion. Our entire family loved our experience at the Guidepost Peoria campus. The difference between our old daycare and Guidepost was night and day. At Guidepost, the child to teacher ratio is much better compared to the state minimum most daycares follow. In addition, Guidepost provides an active learning environment. The kids definitely have time for fun - but, we were blown away during our tour to see the children setting their own tables for meals and quietly working on their self-assigned tasks. We felt that the teachers (guides) really cared and always welcomed our girls with warmth and smiles. The guides and administrative staff were also very responsive to any concerns. In general, I felt like the school logistics were very well run. We were very sad to leave the Peoria campus now that our oldest has started kindergarten in the east valley (although Guidepost Peoria also has a program for kindergarten as well :) ). Our girls both love and miss their guides. We learned, though, that another great benefit of being part of the Guidepost network is how smoothly students can transfer to different Guidepost campuses both locally and in other states. Because we loved the Guidepost experience so much, our youngest is now at the North Scottsdale Guidepost campus, and we have been having a wonderful experience there as well. I highly recommend the Guidepost Montessori school at Peoria!

Guidepost has been such an amazing place for my daughter. She was in the Spanish immersion program since she was 18 months. She has since moved on to start kindergarten at another school but we miss everyone at Guidepost very much. This is a wonderful place for your little ones!!
