A curriculum designed to foster development and independence
Practical Life
These lessons inspire your child with real-world, purposeful tasks and tools, helping to see themselves, correctly, as capable and competent.
Sensorial
Children this age use their senses to explore the world. They enjoy the beautiful sensorial materials and learn to compare and contrast, to discern slight differences, and to place things in order.
Literacy
Your child will learn to associate each phonetic sound with its corresponding letter, and trace the letter to internalize the movements made in writing. Children are reading and writing at age 4, and mastering the component steps even earlier.

A peek inside our classrooms
"Guidepost has been a perfect fit for our pre-schooler! The staff at Guidepost are truly amazing. The guides are compassionate, understanding, and informative. I love the app they use to provide daily updates about about what my little one is learning. Since enrolling at Guidepost, my daughter's independence has increased, she's learned skills to more effectively express her emotions when she's upset, and she has learned so many things!"
