Excellent preschool - we enrolled both our children and couldn't be happier with our decision. From the caring guides and staff to the engaging and enriching environment, this preschool truly exceeded all of our expectations. Guidepost staff is prioritizing the cultivation of independence skills and instilling the virtues of grace and courtesy. Most importantly, the children show genuine affection for their time at school.

We started with Guidepost Montessori 3 months ago for unusual reason. I simply needed extended hours for my TK eligible child, I was not looking for Montessori experience in particular. 3 months later, I am beyond impressed and happy to share that.By now, with my kids we had experience with 2 different preschools, also public and private elementary schools. We loved all the places they went to. Teachers were kind and caring, we made friends, we made memories-and so will you, no matter where you go. So, why choose Guidepost Montessori?-small classes and low teachers turnoverThat allows for truly individual attention. Our guide, Mrs Priya,is phenomenal. She has been a teacher for 20 years. The feedback I get about my child does not just concentrate on the positive but has emphasis on what we should work on. It let my kid flourish ( and saved me a lot of headache).-Fostering independence.All preschools and parents foster independence, but Guidepost Montessori creates environment when it is fun, it is cool to be independent! I noted significant change in my kid after just three month of attending :" I can do it myself, I do not need help, I got it mommy!" -Strong academics.I am all about kids being kids and play ( by the way, they do play, plenty). But with advance of universal TK for 4 years old, educational landscape is changing. My friend's kid recently did not match into private kindergarten since he is not able to read and apparently, it was expected. Meanwhile, both TK and kindergarten are optional so I imagine in the past a lot of kids started first grade without knowing how to read. Best of all, Guidepost Montessori has elementary school as well, so your child can proceed at own rate, learning letters or do more advanced math or reading. -Strong community feeling. There is always something going on ( fall festival , Halloween party , pajama party, etc). It helps to meet other families and kids play together.-Everyone-teachers, administrator, director-are very helpful, easy to approach, friendly and generally appear to be happy to be there. It creates wonderful atmosphere.But the most important review of course, comes from my kid. One day I showed up earlier and my kid did not want to leave. "Why are you picking me up early, we are having fun!" I am so happy I found a place for my child where every day is a fun adventure helping my child grow.

The Elementary program at Guidepost Montessori has been so good for my 8-year-old this year. He learns best when he can choose what to work on and how long to spend on it, and those needs have been met by this program. We are lucky to have Mr. Dominic as the Lead Guide - he is calm, patient, and curious about children as human beings. It is a joy to see how much Mr. Dominic loves watching the children learn and grow into themselves. My son has thrived in this program and it will be exciting to watch his growth as he proceeds through the Montessori curriculum.

If your child is special needs, and needs accommodations don’t enroll your child here. Oksana has stated to me that they do not want to take time out their learning time to assist a child who is Special Needs. Oksana has stated that she wouldn’t allow outside services for a special needs child to receive services such as a speech pathologist coming to help a child with a speech delay, for speech therapy. She also noted that they do not accept children who are not fully potty trained because of their disability. This company discriminates, and does not want any special needs children attending their center. That is extremely sad.Update to owner response: We never discussed a waiting list. But what we need to discuss is mediation/a court lawsuit for a complaint to be filed against your discriminating company.

We love Guidepost. My daughter is very happy going to school everyday. Teachers are amazing and highly qualified. The classroom is very calm and well organized. The school has been very transparent to parents. I appreciate that they periodically offer opportunities for parents to observe their kids during morning work cycle. I would highly recommend Guidepost to families looking for preschools in the area.

We love Guidepost! This school is the best. My daughter has been there since 17 months and is the Spanish Immersion Program. She is almost 4 now and completely understands Spanish and is starting to speak in Spanish as well. That's one of many examples! All of the teachers are wonderful and there is a great parent community involved. Highly recommend!

At Guidepost, we receive updates daily of what she's working on in class, photos of her engaging, and weekly updates of Covid cases + protocol + resources. I truly appreciate the awareness, transparency, and attention to detail this facility provides.Ms. Priya + Ms. Andrea have been a saving grace. They're our daughter's favorite. Our daughter was at Montesorri Manor from August through the end of November. She cried at every single drop-off, even till the last day. She's been at Guidepost Montessori since December but took a 2 week break for the holiday, had a hard time coming back but has happily transitioned without breaking a tear in a month's time. She is excited to go to school and share books with her friends. She looks forward to seeing her teachers and even asks to stay longer for snack time with Ms. Kelly. I adore watching her run to hug her teachers before we leave for the day.It took us 2 months before we were able to book a tour + a 6-month waitlist before our daughter was accepted into their Children's House program. Was it worth the wait? 100%. I would highly recommend others to apply early as this program in Folsom is a gem and I am now a complete advocate for this school. Happy to answer any questions if you're still feeling uncertain about this option. We've done our research and are VERY happy with the results.
