Guidepost Montessori at Emeryville

"Our daughter has been with Guidepost for 3 years and we can not imagine her anywhere else. The care she has gotten, starting with Ms. Florence and Ms. Evanni as a toddler, and now with Ms. Vivian, Mr. Joe, and Ms. Becky, has been amazing. We wanted to send her to a Mandarin immersion school because having her be bilingual is important to us, but we did not know she would also be learning so much about self-reliance, nature, the arts, and mathematics. The school also fosters a great sense of community with seasonal festivals, creating a water park in the summer, and staying open late for parents' date nights. We feel very thankful to have found this school!"

"My daughter spent a year at Guidepost Emeryville Children's House English class, and it's been an incredible journey. The environment is welcoming, and the teachers are dedicated. She's thrived academically and gained independence through the Montessori approach. The classroom fosters creativity and collaboration, and the individualized learning allows her to explore at her own pace. Communication with staff has been excellent, and I've seen remarkable growth in her confidence and resilience. I am grateful for the enriching experience and highly recommend it to other families."

"My son has had an amazing experience at the Montessori preschool. He started when he was just 18 months old, and the teachers have been incredibly caring and dedicated. Ms. Florence and Ms. Evanni were especially supportive in helping him adjust and encouraging his curiosity. When he turned 2.5 years old, he seamlessly moved to the Children's House, where Ms. Vivian, Mr. Joe, and Ms. Becky provided nurturing guidance. It's been truly heartwarming to see how much he's flourished and embraced the Montessori approach to learning."

"Our child has attended since she was around 20 months old. She has since graduated to the Children's house, and we love this Guidepost. She started in an English-speaking class as a toddler, then transferred to Mandarin immersion when she reached the Children's class. I was concerned she might have trouble with the adjustment, but the guides there are so great and understanding: Ms. Vivian, Mr. Joe, and Ms. Becky and all of their other guides have such incredible training and truly know how to encourage a child's development. Our child gets to pursue her interests and develop her interpersonal skills with other children. We've been so lucky to have this school in our own neighborhood!"

"Our experience with Guidepost at Emeryville has been nothing short of exceptional. Our journey began with our daughter starting in the toddler class, and later transitioning to the Mandarin-immersed Children's House. The Montessori-based approach at Guidepost has truly empowered her, fostering a strong sense of independence, cultivating positive behaviors, nurturing confidence, and enhancing emotional regulation. We are immensely grateful for the incredible care and guidance provided by the remarkable guides: Ms. Vivian, Mr. Joe, and Ms. Becky from the Children's House, as well as Ms. Karla and Ms. Emilia from the Toddler Class. Their dedication and expertise shine through in every interaction, and their daily feedback has been invaluable in supporting our daughter's learning journey. In addition to the core team, special mention goes to Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Shelby, Ms. Annie, Ms. Zoey, and many others who have gone above and beyond to make our daughter feel at home. Their unwavering commitment to accepting and nurturing each child's unique qualities is truly commendable. We consider ourselves fortunate to be part of the Guidepost Emeryville community, where our daughter is not only learning and growing academically but also flourishing in a nurturing and inclusive environment."
