Guidepost Montessori at Somerset
About the Business
Guidepost Montessori at Somerset is a primary school located at 121 Pierce Street, Franklin Township, New Jersey, United States. Our approach is focused on empowering each child to achieve independence through a hands-on curriculum and personalized learning. We aim to create an environment where curiosity thrives, independence grows, and academic excellence is a natural outcome.
We believe in designing an education that helps children see and believe in their own capabilities. Our mission is to support each child in achieving their own independence by providing the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to flourish. We cultivate joy in the pursuit of knowledge, effort applied to meaningful work, and in taking steps to author their own lives.
At Guidepost Montessori, we offer a unique educational experience that accelerates learning in both academics and social and emotional skills. Our students often achieve advanced skills at an accelerated pace, such as reading by age 4 and performing advanced math operations by the end of Kindergarten.
Our Children's House program for 3- to 6-year-olds culminates in a capstone kindergarten year where children experience an explosion of literacy and learn advanced math concepts. Students who continue with Guidepost through Kindergarten are often well-ahead of their peers when they enter 1st grade.
We also offer a Montessori middle and high school program, the Academy of Thought & Industry, which combines a classical liberal arts emphasis on history and great books with a Montessori emphasis on independence and agency.
We provide year-round, extended-day programming at no extra cost to ensure consistent access to care and developmental support. Parents can expect daily photo and video updates, milestone meetings, and parent-child events that showcase their child's progress.
At Guidepost Montessori, we strive to cultivate joy as children grow and learn. We offer a holistic education approach with over 120 schools worldwide, including virtual options and language immersion. Book a school tour today to experience the transformative power of Montessori education.

Reviews
"This school has been such a gift to our family! Our son has been attending for almost 3 years now, and the guides and staff have been so helpful and kind throughout our journey! Even transitional moments that presented us with challenges have been met with open communication and support. We are very thankful!"
"My husband and I were excited to enroll our little one in this daycare; however, after the first couple of hours after witnessing the appalling treatment of our child, We realized this was not the proper place for any child to spend hours and hours in, with personnel who completely lack any form of emphatic behavior toward these children. Our child, during her cries, just kept being shoved toward a chair in the corner with complete indifference toward her emotions. Not one smile or a sign of affection from any of the guides to help her transition into a new environment. We also witness different guides mistreating a couple of other children during the short time there. We do not recommend this daycare to Anyone. We Also expected Our money back after the horrible experience our little one had to undergo during her two hours at this daycare."
"Guidepost Montessori Somerset has been a gem for our son, and family! If you are looking for childcare with a high level of order, cleanliness and safety, then do your child a favor and check them out. They also offer a unique take on teaching children life skills and lessons. Our son was safe, secure and happy while at Guidepost Montessori Somerset, and during a pandemic at that. The teachers, guides and administrators care so much and it shows in their demeanor, frequent meetings and check ins with families, and how calm and settled the children are. Very grateful for them and the community they create."
"We’ve been sending our daughter to Guidepost now for a little over a month and she is so excited to be there each and every day. She literally jumps out of her car seat when we arrive and runs right into her classroom. She loves the other children in her class and she absolutely loves the staff. As this is our first child, my husband and I were anxious of getting her started in daycare but the staff has really made the transition an easy one. Would absolutely recommend the school to anyone! Our daughter started at a little over 16 months."
"Finding the right daycare is not an easy task, but Guidepost Montessori has truly made it a beautiful experience. Our son's independence and love of learning has grown even more as he learns from his Guides and older children. We really love the communal aspect of learning and the diversity among the children. The leadership and staff is very warm, open and committed to the growth of each child. The high level of communication and family events have created a community of positivity and security, which you can sense when you walk through the door."
