Ms Rosalina is an amazing lead! Our son was able to start in her toddler class seamlessly during his first week due to her caring and nurturing personality. He learns new things everyday and is excited to show us. We are so happy we chose Guidepost!

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with Guidepost Montessori West Loop. My son started daycare in the Nido class when he was just ten months old, and I am impressed with the love, patience, and care that the staff has given to him. Despite facing some developmental challenges due to his premature birth, the guidance provided by Mrs. Blanca, Serenity, and Nellie has been exceptional. Their genuine care and thoughtfulness have left me completely overjoyed.

I am particularly grateful to Mrs. Blanca, who has consistently provided me with progress notes, suggestions, and words of encouragement. As new parents, her kind and supportive approach has set the bar high as we search for similar compassion in our daycare journey.
I want to add that the daycare is always clean and organized and has ample parking. The security measures are top-notch, and the location is ideal. I highly recommend taking a tour with them if you're looking for a suitable daycare for your child. Once again, thank you, Guidepost.

Our little guy started in the Nido classroom in February when he was just a few weeks old, and he's now a thriving 6-month-old! We couldn't be happier with our experience so far. The guides are incredibly caring and attentive, and they truly create a warm and nurturing environment for the babies. We've been so impressed with their communication and how well they know our son's individual needs and preferences. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and we always feel like a part of the Guidepost family when we're there. We can't recommend this school enough for families looking for a Montessori education in the West Loop!

My daughter always had a positive experience in her classroom, and that is ultimately the only thing that matters. My girl was always happy at pick up and drop off. Grateful for that at the moment in time we were there. Again, the most important thing.

On the organizational & leadership front, there was a lot to be desired, which felt a bit unacceptable especially in retrospect and at the price point. There were a lot of leadership changes in the short time we were there and not a lot of proactive communication about it. Nothing terrible, but there were just a lot of strange disorganized things that happened.

I have since enrolled at a different daycare and they are far more organized & communicative. Feels like night and day in ways I didn't even realize at the time.

My child has attended Guidepost for almost a year and a half. As a first time mom, the guides really put all your worries at ease. They truly are the most nurturing, caring, and help your little one blossom into themselves every step of the way! My little one absolutely adores his guides with all of his heart, he is happy to go to school. The independence that is fostered through their Montessori curriculum has immensely contributed to his development. We get photos daily of what they do and it’s always so impressive to see. Highly recommend booking a tour and joining the GPWL community!

My 3 year old son has been attending Guidepost Montessori West Loop for almost a year. He is happy going there in the morning and is happy after school when at home. His teachers/ Guides are very attentive and supportive, transparent with his daily activity, actions and progression, while keeping interaction gentle and warm.
The school is lead by a professional team, whom we completely trust, always on top of what's going on, always looking to improve, and making sure the school is a safe and very pleasant space to be in.

The teachers and administration are so supportive. Our daughter is 15 mo old and in the Nido classroom. The teachers, staff and guides made the transition so wonderful. They have also worked so much to help us also receive Early Intervention therapy while our daughter is at school and it is so helpful to have this integrated with her school day and teachers.
