Guidepost Montessori Lead Guide/Assistant Guide reviews

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your efforts in setting up your new classroom. We are proud of our values and culture but know that it will only come to life through our employees. We recognize that the first six months of opening a school can be the most challenging work experience of anyone’s career. This is a crucial time of not only building the community and culture but also working through the challenges of schedules and staffing needs. While we do share a typical schedule in the interview, we also stress the flexibility required in the first year and the dedication needed to support new assistants and the overall team. We have a good partnership with DCFS and build strong relationships with their representatives to hold ourselves to a high standard. We also strive to have each school be its own community without relying on corporate management. This, of course, can change when we hear from our employees that the work culture is toxic or a new school is particularly struggling. We hope that you provided feedback to the School Support team during your time to share your concerns and make the culture and school that you were so excited about. We wish you the best of luck in your career and hope that you revisit the school in the coming months to see it normalized.
