Guidepost Montessori at West Loop, Chicago | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our son started in the Toddler room at Guidepost this past summer with no prior daycare experience. It took less than 2 weeks for our son to change from resisting drop-off to giving us a “Bye mom, bye dad!” as soon as we arrived.
Guidepost excels in the quality of care and education they provide as well as the support they give to parents. Tuition covers not only the hours of childcare and Montessori education, but also fun afterschool events, including a “Parents Night Out” where the kids have a fun activity for a couple of hours on a Friday evening to give parents a chance to go out, all of which we have really enjoyed participating in. Our favorite aspects of the education our son receives at Guidepost are the quality materials & beautiful environment, clear tracking of our child’s progress in his motor skills, learning & mastery of materials/Montessori “works” through the Transparent Classroom App, and the obvious expertise and experience of the teachers and staff. The classroom teachers have provided us with regular feedback of our son’s development. The potty training the kids receive in the Toddler classroom is simply a godsend. I highly recommend Guidepost to any families who are looking for quality childcare in a Montessori environment.

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 overwhelmed.
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 have set the bar high as we search for similar compassion in our daycare journey.
I would like 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 family has been so impressed during our time with Guidepost West Loop. We could not have asked for a better place for our toddler to learn, grow and interact over the last few years. Our son started at Guidepost in the Young Toddler classroom, and the team made a new and challenging transition incredibly smooth and comfortable for him. He’s been in the Toddler classroom for the last year, and the growth and confidence we’ve seen from him is outstanding. He is his own independent, fun and kind person, and we have all of the Guidepost teachers to thank for that. He’s excited to go to school in the morning to see his friends and teachers, and he always comes home sharing new and exciting things about his day. We are grateful for the entire team’s dedication to the students and school and appreciated the frequent updates and clear communication. A special thank you to Ms. Ticarra, Ms. Rosalina, Tremaine and Yessenia — we’d highly recommend Guidepost to any families looking.
