Guidepost Montessori at Galleria

My son is currently in Ms Mercy’s children house now and he is very happy to go to school everyday. His class is lead by Ms Mercy who has many many years of experience and dedication to early childhood education. Ms Mercy, Ms Nadia, Ms Jessica, Ms Tamesha all the teachers at the Guidepost take great care of the kiddos. They offer a supportive and stimulating environment that not only cares for children but also actively contributes to their growth and development.

My son has been in guidepost Montessori for over a year now and he has been improving everything and reaching each milestone easily ! I had a bad experience with my first born when I enrolled him on a different daycare he was traumatized and I was scared to put my youngest son in a daycare but I had to, I saw online guidepost Montessori when I was moving out of FL and I loved everything I read about them. This place is the best and most loving daycare I ever seen. The teachers have a lot of love and patience for the kids and they make activities and learn new skills everyday ! My family and I love guidepost Montessori 😍 they also do monthly special activities to have a better community with the kids ands the parents! Things like arts and crafts, picnics and more ! I never write reviews of places but this daycare deserves all the reviews and 5+ stars 🤩

We love the school. My son is 4 years old and he started at Guidepost Galleria a year ago. We see so much progress not only academically, but emotionally.
His teacher, Ms. Mercy is very kind and carrying. She helps him in difficult moments. He is a lot happier and more content. We see a tremendous difference with his social skills. It's easier for him to make friends, and he loves helping others.
Ms. Mercy is an excellent Montessori guide, she pays close attention to each kid and guides them in their interests. My son loves all the activities throughout the day, and he is so happy to show me his new math skill, or art drawing.
All teachers and administrative staff are friendly and nurturing. Everyone knows everyone. It's a close-knit community that makes it feel like family. Director and staff are very involved and bring a lot of fun opportunities for parent engagement.
We appreciate everything the school does for the kids and parents. I wish I knew about this place earlier :)

Both our boys started atteding this school since they were 17 months old. We always feel the peace in our mind when we drop them off in the morning that we know they will be in good hands throughout the day. Specifically, Ms. Temeshia as the lead teacher in Children House 1 did a fantastic job in providing multi-level activities not only following the curriculum but also considering the individual needs of each child. She also offered professional advice and sources to parents to support the development of their children. Our boys showed significant improvements in achieving the independence and academic goals during their school life with Guidepost Galleria.

Game changer for our son !
The learning technics are so adapted to kids.
Calm environment, nice set up in class room, consistency of program and evolution of teaching.
Kids are engaged on multiple different activities throughout the days with various "atelier", all well thought to develop different skills.
The autonomy that kids have during the day can clearly be seen at home where they take on duties and tasks without us asking for it.
Good manners and good behaviors are also an important part of the Montessori program and results are outstanding.
On a more personal aspect, Ms. Mercy is the lead in our son's class and she is doing an amazing job with our son and with the entire class.
We can clearly see humongous progress with our son. She is also very attentive to all kids "special skills", meaning that she clearly knows which kid excel in which category (math, art, logic etc) and while completing the entire program, she also emphasize that special skill and push them to even develop it further.
Overall a very good experience that I recommend !

My daughter started at guidepost galleria at about 2 years old and she's now 4. Since she’s been there she has progressed in so many areas. We love the curriculum and the guides are awesome! She also gets super excited about going to school everyday which lets me know Guidepost and their staff are doing a wonderful job!

We love the staff and the Montessori Curriculum at Guidepost. My son is currently in Childrens house 2 with Miss Mercy and we could not be more pleased with Miss Mercy's kindness and approach in helping our son improve his focus and pronunciations. Miss Mercy is an absolute gem. I am so glad my son is in her class. She is so patient and truly loves the children here. My son has been attending Guidepost for almost 3 years. He started with Miss Jawaria (also amazing) and from the beginning the staff, the updates, the progress meetings, and now the events have helped to create a community here. I highly recommend Guidepost to my neighbors and friends.

My child loves school, and gets excited when we turn into the parking lot every morning. Their independence has grown tremendously, and is leading more activities at home. I have also noticed their increase in language, from one-two word phrases to short sentences. Ms. Temeshia always keeps us up to date, checks in on any concerns, and offers hugs to my child when needed. Ms. Jessica always reports good things at the end of the day and checks in as well. I truly appreciate how much the teachers do to teach my child and am so glad we found the perfect place.

Guidepost Montessori was highly recommended to me by a friend (her grandson attends the one in Katy). I attended the orientation with my son-in-law in order to check out the school for my grandson. We were warmly welcomed by staff, given an abbreviated tour (it was nap time), and had all our questions answered. After leaving, we both felt this would be a place where he could learn new skills and make new friends.

He has made tremendous progress. I see photos of what he’s learning and what he has mastered. He’s trying new foods and learning to get along with others. His teachers (and those in other classes) are kind and nurturing. When I had the privilege of picking him up from school last week, all the teachers said goodbye to him. Everyone seems to know him! From what I’ve seen, the teachers work together well and help each other out when needed.

I have nothing but praise and admiration for his teachers and administrators. Teaching these days can be hard, and teachers do their very best under adverse conditions at times. If there’s an issue, I feel it’s best discussed one-on-one, not blasted on a public forum such as this.

My grandson has settled in quite nicely, and I want to thank Guidepost Montessori for the patience and care they’ve shown him.

Both of my sons attended this school starting around age 3, with my youngest still in the Children House (pre-school) classroom. The teachers are kind, patient, and keep the parents well informed of what goes on during the day. My kids love going to school everyday! They also have brought it a lot of fun extra activities for the kids lately, such as career visits, virtual field trips, and themed days. I found they prepared my eldest well for Kindergarten.

Guidepost Galleria has been a great experience for myself and my toddler overall. When we first started in November 2022, I fell in love with the curriculum, how they kept me updated about what my child was learning, their progress, and pictures. A few months later, the supervisor left and things seemed to be in shambles in comparison to our experience when we first started. Guides were consistently leaving, however, my child still seemed to be improving.

Not long after, there was a new Head of School, Natalie Johnson, and things started getting back to how they were in the beginning of our experience. Guides became consistent, information was relayed in a timely manner, etc. she even helped my sort out a financial confusion issue from when we first joined, even though it was not under her management. I was now back happy with my Montessouri experience. Natalie is very warm spirited, kind, firm, and attentive to my needs. I have no complaints about the state of the school, the guides, or the administration. I highly recommend Guidepost Galleria.

We highly recommend Guidepost Montessori for their involvement and approachability with respect to our son's education. My son has been attending Guidepost at the Galleria location for the past two years. He started in Sep 2021 in the toddler classroom and has since moved into Children's house 2.

Firstly, this school's staff are extremely approachable. Unlike other schools in the neighborhood where you have make an appointment to talk to teachers, I get to ask questions about my son's development and activities almost on a daily basis to any of his teachers. My son has had Ms Temeshia, Ms Jessica and Ms Mercy as his teachers and they have all made him feel comfortable at school. Special kudos to Ms Mercy for ensuring the class aligns to Montessori curriculum and for developing activities and exercises that challenge the kids -- making them stretch beyond what is expected of a preschooler. She conducts regular lectures for the parents to educate us on the Montessori curriculum too. My child comes home everyday talking about what he learnt; some examples are addition strip board (math), big words like undeniable, articulated (vocab) and "australia is an island" (geography)! The kids lover her!

Secondly, the facility is big for its Galleria location! The classroom can comfortably accommodate 15-20 students for their daily active play. Imagine high energy toddlers running around! Their playground has ample space -- and bicycles and dump trucks (what more can boys ask for). They recently renovated the facility in which they upgraded the flooring and stalls. Their restrooms are kept clean with two stalls that are easily accessible for the kids from within the classroom.

Thirdly, they organize lots of activities, not just for the kids but for the parents too, so that they is opportunity to interact with other parents and the child's friends. They was a bake off event last week. We had a picnic in the Hines waterwall area this past weekend. As a mother, I feel my child is in safe hands with these regular interactions with his friends, their parents, teachers etc.

A point worth bringing attention to is the food. I pack his lunch (and yes! there are other facilities that provide lunch in this area to the convenience of parents) but I honestly do find he eats his home-packed lunch better than the outside catered food. The option of catering lunch is available too in case you need it! The facility provides enough snacks in the morning and afternoon to keep them full, as toddlers burn all that they eat!

Both my kids. 2 and 4 years old, are in this school. The staff and teacher are dedicated to each kids in a well set up educative space. Classroom and outdoor area are clean and kids participate to keep them in good order. Both my kids learned at a good pace and have time to develop their own judgment and soft skill. Special mention to Miss Temesha teaching the 3-5 years old.

My daughter has been with Guidepost since she was in the Nido classroom and is now in Children’s House. She has learned so much and talks very well for her age. Any time I have any questions, concerns, or recommendations leadership is always there to assist. All the staff is exceptional. My daughter went through a short stage where she began to cry at drop off but Ms. Mercy worked endlessly with me to help her have a smooth transition into her new classroom. She now walks into her classroom super excited to see her friends and will ask for Ms. Mercy even on the weekends! We have connected with many other parents during our journey at Guidepost. It truly is a great community to be a part of!

Guidepost Galleria is the best choice we've made for our preschooler! He's always excited to go to school, meet his teachers, and friends. Ms. Tamesha is a Godsend. She's super understanding, caring, and patient with my busy boy. She's super passionate and very educated on the Montessori philosophy. If you're looking for a safe place for your LO 10/10 I recommend!

We have been truly blessed with our children's teachers at Guidepost Galleria. Both Ms. Mercy and Ms. Temisha are exceptional teachers who have made an enormous impact on both of our sons' development. Soon after we registered the kids at Guidepost, it was evident that the Montessori model suited our boys' aptitude. The devotion, passion, and dedication shown by our boys' lead guides are nothing short of phenomenal.

Temisha and Mercy’s dedication, warmth, and genuine care for the children under their guidance are evident. Both teachers have different but equally effective approaches. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for all the kids.

Ms. Mercy has settled down our boisterous 5-year-old and has prepared him for the next phase: kindergarten. We will be forever grateful to Ms. Mercy for all she has done for our oldest son.

Ms. Temisha has a wonderful ability to engage the children in various activities that promote their learning and social skills. Our son has made remarkable progress under her guidance, both academically and socially. Every day, he eagerly looks forward to going to daycare.

Communication with parents from both classrooms is seamless, making us feel like valued partners in our boys' journey. Regular updates on their progress, along with insightful suggestions for techniques to practice at home, show true and consistent dedication and passion for her students.

In an environment where passionate educators are hard to come by, we feel incredibly fortunate to have our boys under the care and guidance of Ms. Mercy and Ms. Temisha. Their dedication and ability to engage with the students make them the most valuable assets at Guidepost Montessori Galleria.

We wholeheartedly recommend Guidepost Galleria to any parent seeking a nurturing and exceptional educational experience for their child.

I have no clue what these crazy people are talking about.This place is amazing. My kid loves the teachers and they are all very kind and welcoming when we come in every morning and leave in the evening. I wouldn’t leave my child in a place that I felt was unsafe. Boohoo they didn’t roll out the red carpet for you when you came in. Maybe look for a school that meets your high maintenance and needy expectations. We only like positivity and uplifting attitudes at this Guidepost. Keep doing what you are doing teachers because you all are amazing and do so much for these awesome kiddos.

We enrolled our 14 month old in the Nindo class in February. Unfortunately, I think our enrollment timing was terrible as management was turning over and rebuilding. We felt like the age range for our little guy wasn’t working for the development we would like to see. The class age range is newborn to 16 months so a bit difficult to incorporate all when the leads are primarily holding an infant or putting an infant to nap. And while the leads were very kind and compassionate they were not very interactive in a positive growth as we hoped to see. We know this class isn’t going to follow a strict curriculum we would have liked to see more hands on as described in the tour. I would give this class 4 stars.
On a high praise, The new office management is incredibly kind, education and family oriented, and seems to genuinely care about the staff, children, and their families. We would recommend Guidepost to parents with 18mo+ and are very thankful for the kindness they showed our little guy while he was there for three months.

My son started daycare for his very first time in here and he absolutely love it, Im impressed how much he loves going to his little school and how much he loves all the employees. This place is filled with love to give for the kids and they teach them new things everyday. My son has been improving his patience and his speech thanks to them! We love guidepost Montessori ❤

We had our son enrolled here for a whole year and we are glad we found a place for him to learn and grow so much. Each guide was caring and professional. They treated us all respectfully. I appreciated how often emails came, and that using the Transparent App was so easy to monitor his daily activities. The lesson plans for each week/month being posted at the door was helpful so we could repeat activities at home. While we were sad to leave, we were glad we found a lovely Montessori daycare to start him off at with the core skills we felt we're important.
