Journey to independence. The ultimate goal is authentic, holistic independence. This refers to the child's knowledge, confidence, creativity, and social ability in making his own goals and pursue them over time. These are the qualities of character and mind that add up, in the end, to a happy and fulfilling adult live. Throughout their journey at Guidepost Montessori, each child gains a piece of this puzzle. Guidepost Montessori programs are designed to support children in taking full advantage of the early years, laying the foundations for a future of limitless possibilities.
