Guidepost Montessori at Marietta

Since starting at Guidepost my daughter has been thriving in the Toddler 2 class! Ms. Natalia is absolutely amazing, everyone at Guidepost is great! We love this school and feel confident my child is being cared for in the best way possible. The skills she has learned since being at GP is invaluable. She is a strong independent toddler and this style of learning really suits her. Her language and life skills are really shinning and shes 2! Ms Charlie and Ms Genia are always available to answer any question.

I have been a substitute guide at Guidepost Montessori at Marietta for just over a year now, beginning my career in the field of education, and it is genuinely difficult to explain how grateful I am to work with such amazing people! The guides at this school care immensely for their students, letting them beat to their own drum and learn about the world in their own ways! Sharing this experience with these kids and getting to watch them thrive at Guidepost is a blessing, and I can't wait to have my future little ones part of Montessori in the years to come!

I am a Montessori parent of two children at this campus. My wife and I are very pleased and thrilled to be a part of this community! I personally enjoy and appreciate the attention detail for each child, individually. Truly thankful for everything this learning space has brought to our home.

As a fairly new parent to the Montessori world, I walked through the doors with my son a little blind sided. He has only been attending for a few months and the improvements in his behavior, creativity, and mindset have improved as well as increased immensely. This school is an emotional and financial investment, but it is worth it. The dedication the staff has for all of the children for their needs as well as their growth is more than satisfactory. The women running this school are very knowledgeable in child development and they truly care about the kids. Its all I could have asked for when it comes to my son. It honestly makes me a little sad that the school year only goes up to six years old.

Guidepost Montessori at Marietta has been a grounding force in our family for over two years. My two children began at Guidepost in the Nido (infant) and Toddler classrooms. My family is making the transition to homeschool (we will be using the Guidepost curriculum!) and my kids recently said their farewells to this sweet community as they left their Children's House classrooms. It speaks volumes that my son (a momma's boy through and through) told me that on his last day he felt sad and wondered when he could visit his guides. My professional background is in child development and working with children/families who have experienced separation or other forms of trauma. As such, I have a borderline obsession with attachment theory and a personal passion for supporting emotional regulation in children. Having worked closely with DFCS/child welfare systems both domestically and internationally, I am also the "worst case scenario" mom. My first question for any organized group (sports team, school, etc) that will be interacting with my children is usually "What is your policy on sexual abuse? How often is it reviewed with your staff?" All that say - I'm a tough sell when it comes to childcare. But somehow Guidepost had me sold pretty early on. When touring the school, the guide who my children first interacted with (Ms. Enid) greeted them both before she greeted me, spoke to them at eye level (crouched down), and explained a few things about the classroom in a simple, easy to understand way. My children immediately felt safe, evidenced by the fact that they began to interact with the materials in the class while I spoke with the guide and asked to stay longer when it was time to go. Even when I've had questions or moments of pause throughout the last two years, my "concerns" have been addressed with the utmost transparency, urgency, and clear communication. There's not much else I could ask for. My family has adored this place and my children have absolutely thrived. My four year old is reading and finishes 300 piece jigsaw puzzles in his free time. My three year old is as independent and helpful as ever - sets the table for dinner, grabs a broom and sweeps when a room in the house is dirty, and can independently play for hours on end. Some of that is their natural tendencies, sure, but I credit much of their confidence and love of learning to their time at Guidepost.
