Guidepost Montessori at Paradise Valley, Scottsdale | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I cannot recommend Guidepost Montessori at PV highly enough! From the moment we enrolled our 2 kiddos, we felt welcomed into a warm and nurturing community that aligns with our family values and truly feels like an extension of our family.

What sets Guidepost PV apart is the genuine care and dedication of the entire staff, from the teachers to the administrative team. Unlike other preschools that can sometimes feel like impersonal businesses solely focused on tuition, Guidepost PV prioritizes building meaningful connections with families. It’s evident that they genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child.

The teachers at Guidepost PV are simply exceptional. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children thrive. Our kiddos come home every day brimming with excitement, eager to share stories about the fun activities and adventures they had with their friends and teachers.

Speaking of friends, the sense of camaraderie among the children is heartwarming. It’s clear that they’ve formed close bonds and are genuinely happy to be at school each day. This positive atmosphere is a testament to the nurturing environment fostered by the dedicated staff.

One of the most significant indicators of Guidepost PV’s excellence is the transformation we’ve seen in our kiddos. They used to be hesitant about going to school, but now they’re absolutely thrilled every morning. It’s incredible to see how much they’ve blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically since joining Guidepost PV.

If you’re searching for a preschool where your child will be cherished, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential, look no further than Guidepost PV. It’s more than just a school—it’s a loving community where every child truly matters.

Attended the Cards & Cocoa event at Guidepost PV on December 16th. We toured the space and thought it was a great fit for our daughter. We scheduled a tour with Casey (Assistant Head of School) at a different location the following Tuesday because there were no openings at that location. She said she’d email me with details, but she never did. I followed up a month later in January and sent Casey an email asking to put my daughter on the waitlist. She replied asking how old my daughter is and our preferred start date. I replied on the same day within a few hours and never received a response again. I’m very disappointed in the lack of communication and transparency. It’s okay if there are no more openings, but please have the decency to say something and not leave parents in the unknown.

I have experience working with children at many different schools and some of the things that sets Guidepost apart are that the classrooms are more calm than most traditional/charter settings, the children have enriching materials to work with, and the children are more focused on their work. You can tell the children are well-cared for and that the staff are passionate about their job. I highly recommend this school!
