Guidepost Montessori at Gambrills provides a nurturing and research-based environment where children thrive. Parents describe it as an incredible experience that has transformed their children, who now love going to school and gain significant confidence, independence, and developmental skills. The school hires incredibly kind, caring, and dedicated teachers who are welcoming and generous with their time, providing patient and supportive attention. The Montessori method is highly effective, offering a structured approach that promotes freedom, with children choosing their work and managing their own snack and bathroom needs. The school is organized and reliable, with excellent communication from management through weekly updates and regular community events for parents. Class sizes are phenomenal with excellent staff-to-child ratios, and the massive, fully-gated playground allows all children ample outdoor time. Safety is a top priority, with serious attention to allergies and secure classroom doors. The community is diverse, and the environment is consistently described as more nurturing than previous daycare experiences, leading to the resolution of behavioral issues. Parents are profoundly grateful for the life-changing, supportive, and seamless transition the school provides.
Our daughter just started at Guidepost Montessori in Gambrills in February at 15 months old - we are so glad we made the switch from her prior daycare. It's like she was meant to be in Ms. Caitlyn's classroom all along! Ms. Caitlyn and her co-teachers have been so welcoming and really eased the transition for our daughter.
