Journey to independence. The ultimate goal is authentic, holistic independence. This means the knowledge, confidence, creativity, and social ability a child will need in order to choose his own goals, whatever they may be, 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 each piece of this puzzle, one by one. 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.
