Guidepost Montessori - Marietta Reviews 5

When our son started at Guidepost Marietta at 16 months old, we were hoping for a place that would keep him safe, nurture his curiosity, and help him grow. What we found was something far more extraordinary.

There is a clear sense of purpose, care, and thoughtfulness in how the school is run. Every interaction with leadership, and staff reflects a deep commitment not just to education, but to the wellbeing of each child and family who walks through the door.

The guides are simply exceptional. They have created an environment where our son feels completely safe to be himself curious and joyful. They celebrate and gently support him through challenges, and consistently nurture his confidence and independence.

We drop our son off each day knowing he is genuinely loved. That peace of mind is something every parent hopes for but few truly find.

Most importantly, our son is thriving. He walks into school with excitement, comes home with stories, new skills, and growing confidence. He is learning in an environment that allows him to shine in his own way, at his own pace.

It is rare to find a place where your child is so thoughtfully nurtured and where you feel such deep trust in the people caring for your child. We are incredibly grateful our son is growing up in this community.

I love Guidepost for a few reason. The main one being that I know my kids are loved just like they would be at home. The staff, from the front desk to the amazing teachers, are absolutely incredible and they go above and beyond when it comes to our little ones. When I drop my kids off, I dont feel like I am leaving them with strangers, it is like a second home to them.

The second reason I love guidepost so much, is it is not daycare it is school. They learn and grow so much with the guidance of their teacher and staff. I am constantly amazed at what my 2 year old knows and what she says she learns at school.

Our journey with guidepost started 3 years ago when guidepost opened their doors. My son was enrolled in their toddler program. He went on to childrens house and completed his pre-k year at guidepost. He has since graduated but is excelling in his kindergarten year and has been placed in an accelerated kindergarten program in large part to the teaching and foundation he received during his time at guidepost. Our journey has now continued with our daughter who is now enrolled in the same toddler class her brother was in. We love, love, love our guidepost community and staff.

Our 3 year old daughter started with the Guidepost Toddler classroom when she was around 20 months old. The guides were so supportive when she struggled to transition to school after staying at home with grandparents previously.

Within weeks she was absolutely thriving! She is now in Children's House and asks to stay for a few extra minutes after pickup so she can play with her friends. The Montessori educational approach fits her independent personality by encouraging her to think critically and make decisions for herself. The mixed age environment has been a good experience for her as an only child. She comes home weekly having learned a new surprising skill (whether academic, emotional or social).

The community of the school has been a big positive as well. It is so nice to have opportunities to connect with other families at the school and build a stronger support system for our children. Highly recommend this community!

My 2 year old son started at Guidepost when he was about 16 months old. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at this preschool.

From day one, the entire team of teachers and staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that they truly love what they do and deeply care about each and every child.

My son has grown so much—both socially and academically—since starting here. The teachers create a nurturing, engaging environment where the children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and involved.

The staff go above and beyond to make sure each child feels valued and understood. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my son is in such capable and compassionate hands every day.

I highly recommend guidepost Montessori to any parent looking for a positive, supportive, and enriching environment for their child!

Our 2-year-old son has been at Guidepost Montessori for about 10 months, and the growth we’ve seen has been nothing short of remarkable. His social skills have developed exponentially, he’s more confident, more expressive, and truly enjoys being around his classmates. We’ve also noticed a huge leap in his ability to learn, retain information, and explore new concepts with curiosity and excitement.

As parents, it’s been incredible to support and watch this transformation. The Guides are nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully structured to help children grow at their own pace. Every day, our son comes home showing us something new he's learned or singing a new song from music class.

We are so grateful for the Guidepost team and the impact they’ve had on our son’s early development. We couldn’t recommend this school more highly.
