Guidepost Montessori at West Loop

We could not ask for a better group of people to care for our children. We've been there since the school opened and the staff continuously goes above and beyond to care for for them. Our kids love going, they love their teachers and we cannot thank them enough for everything! Especially all their help over the last couple of months :)  Thank you!

Guidepost Montessori West Loop is truly a special place! Our son started attending the Young Toddler room and absolutely adores going to school. Nothing is more comforting as a parent! The administration is caring, knows every family by name, and we feel 100% confident with how they've kept the kids safe during COVID-19. Every guide is extremely diligent and we love receiving the daily picture updates! Highly recommend sending your children here: you won't regret it!

My daughter has been going to Guidepost Montessori at West Loop since its very inception (over a year now). The people including not only the lead guide, assistant guides but also the administrative staff are what make this school incredible. They truly care for the students and it shows. Guidepost corporate has also been a great partner in offering virtual classes and building lesson plans during the pandemic/stay at home quarantine times. Felt very supported in much needed times!

We are so fortunate to have our 2 year old son start at Guidepost. Prior to starting at Guidepost he was always at home. Guidepost has been very accommodating for him and us as parents since he started. He looks forward to going everyday and does not want to leave at the end of the day. The administration, teachers and helpers are spectacular. Communication is amazing. Aydin is learning real life skills and we have seen him mature to a become a wonderful 2 1/2 year old. He brings the skills he is learning from school to home. The early drop off and extended day is also a blessing for us. The environment is very friendly and supportive for him and us. They are even helping him get potty trained! I could not have asked for a better start for him and highly recommend Guidepost.

If you live in west loop and are looking for some very well structured and academic focused Montessori curriculum for your toddler, this is the right school for your family.

All three my kids attended or still attend Guidepost Montessori-West Loop so we have experiences with all the classrooms. We absolutely love it there and recommend it to everyone. The head of school, Natalie, knows every student and genuinely cares about the kids and their families. It feels like a community, which you don&#39;t often get with daycare. -Infant/Nido classroom - my second and third kids have both been in this classroom. Miss Ale and all the infant guides are quite literally the best daycare teachers you could ever have taking care of your little babies. My second didn&#39;t want to take a bottle and wasn&#39;t a great napper. They were so patient and literally fed him 1oz every hour until he met his needs. By the time he was ready to move up, he was pounding through bottles, napping like a champ, and zooming around the room. He thrived in Nido and is the happiest kid ever. My third just started in November and is a bit delayed for gross motor. We have a PT come to school and the teachers have been wonderful working with the PT and spending so much time with my baby girl to get her to roll! If she isn&#39;t going to be with me, then this is the best place for her. -Young Toddler - my oldest started in Young Toddler at the height of the pandemic and my second just moved out of that class. There is low turnover in that classroom and we have had the same teachers for many years. Miss Liz is fantastic and really cares about her students and their development. -Toddler - also my older two in that classroom. This room has had a bit of turnover, but we found our lifelong babysitters through this room! We also love the guides here. Even with the turnover, both our kids thrived in Toddler and that is because of the great foundation the school has created. -Childrens House - only my oldest in here and it was also wonderful. Her old teachers are no longer with Guidepost, but I have heard great things about the teachers who are currently there as my daughter still has friends at Guidepost in Childrens House. My daughter learned to be independent and also the guides were great at teaching her to regulate her emotions (and 3 year olds certainly have emotions!).

Our daughter has been at Guidepost for over a year now and she has been thriving.  She loves the staff so much that we have a routine to go see each one and say good bye before we go home (even those in her previous class room).  we have had no trouble with her adjusting to a school atmosphere from previously nanny.  The Montessori approach has been teaching her confidence and independence.. and encouraging her to explore her natural curiosity.  We have loved to see her bring new practical skills and learnings home to share with us.  We are very happy here.  As we have also gotten to know the other families, it has become a nice community for us and some of our daughter&#39;s closest friends.
