Guidepost Montessori at Fairfax

"Wow what a program! Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. Ms. Renata has done an extraordinary job with making this program feel like home. The staff here are so warm and loving it made me want to go to the school myself! The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and I’m very thankful to Renata and the whole team at Guidepost Montessori for such an awesome experience!"

"We have been so pleased with our experience here and highly recommend this program! I absolutely love the personalized attention each child and family receive! I am a stay at home mom currently and most days, my adult interaction is very limited. The Head of School, Ms. Renata, is fantastic. She always greets me with a smile and our little conversations while picking up my daughter really brightens my day. This goes for seeing the teachers in the morning as well! I am always greeted with a huge smile and truly feel like they really care for my daughter. Now to the nitty gritty of Montessori - my daughter has truly learned so much in a short amount of time. At home, I don’t even have to ask her anymore to put away her plate! She immediately takes it to the sink and even will help her little sister. She truly embodies the Montessori vision of being independent AND sharing this gift with others. I’ll find her teaching her little sister how to do something, she sings the songs she’s learned in school, and at not even 4 yet, is starting to recognize letters, numbers, wants to write her name, colors within the lines, etc. I love the interaction and the development of friendships my daughter is getting with her friends at school as well. Job well done as well for staying on top of getting parents updated pictures and weekly newsletters. I truly think the “small” feel of this location is a hidden gem. If you have any sort of problem, this can be immediately addressed and I really love that you interact with those in charge of this location. Although scheduling is the best way - I know Ms. Renata would drop whatever she is doing to assist families. I would LOVE if this location would open it up for 2 year olds (I would 100% enroll my youngest as well, if I could). You could not find a more loving and passionate school that embodies Montessori life for our littles."

"We are very happy with our experience at Guidepost Montessori, Fairfax. The teachers and administration are all wonderful - they care deeply that all children are happy, learning, and getting what they need to thrive. They also teach kids that learning can be fun, how to independently explore, work within a group, and communicate respectfully to others. The school has done a wonderful job of communicating the individual updates for each child, but also what's going on in the school, how to get involved, and what's coming up for the families and kids. The facility is on the smaller side, but it offers an intimate space for children to learn and grow in. We've had nothing but positive feelings since joining the Guidepost family. We are so happy we found it!"

"No! No! No! strongly recommend Do Not go to this school. I send my kid to this school for a day. She had an accident and no one explain to me what happened. IT WAS FIRST DAY OF HER SCHOOL!!!. Also Teacher was more interested where I coming from. Instead how was my kid in the school! So next day I wasn't sure should I continue to send my kid to this school. Usually if the new student is not coming don't they call or ask?? They didn't do anything. They didn't call! They didn't ask anything! So we called later and we would like to cancel we had deposit Issue too. Still working on it ( very hard to get back your money!!)Please look careful before you sign up this school"
