Our family has been part of MANH for three years, beginning when our oldest joined the Toddler…read moreclassroom at 18 months. With two children enrolled, we've experienced every early childhood level (infant, toddler, and primary) and have consistently had positive experiences. The teachers are exceptional - they truly know each child, honoring their strengths and learning styles while fostering respect and independence in the Montessori tradition. They also partner closely with parents to create a strong, supportive environment. When our son was showing signs of a possible stutter, we worked collaboratively with his teacher and administration to have him evaluated. As his parents, we were ultimately empowered to make the final decision that we thought was best for him. MANH invests heavily in resources and specialists, such as speech therapists, for the children at all age levels. Montessori curriculum is also just incredible overall. Children in Primary (3-6) are learning foundational math, geography, and life skills through joyful, play-based exploration. At age four, our son can name all the continents and can explain early math concepts, as can many of his classmates. There is also an emphasis on social development, helping children grow as caring, respectful members of a community. As a small school, the administration is deeply involved in the daily experience of students and families. Like many educational institutions, there are areas of opportunity such as tuition cost, effective communication, and change management. That said, we've consistently seen the administration lead with genuine care, always keeping the children's best interest at the center of decisions. Whenever our family has raised concerns, they've been met with openness, respect, and thoughtful consideration. While not every outcome aligns with our preferences, we've always felt welcomed to share feedback and be part of a collaborative, respectful dialogue. MANH is a school where children are truly seen, supported, and encouraged. Over three years, we've watched ours grow in confidence, curiosity, and compassion. We're so grateful to be part of this community and can't imagine a better foundation for our kids.

Awful experience, stay away. The head of school pushes her controversial ideologies and implements…read morethem in the school's curriculum as much as she can. Parents cannot opt out and have no say in their children's education. They will steal your deposit! Extremely high turnover for teachers, staff in general. In the last few years the school has lost more than one of their main teachers each year. Only two good ones remain. Unstable environment and constantly changing plans/layouts. They come up with new ideas each year, test them out, then realize these ideas don't work, change again, etc. Very disruptive for the students to be in such a constantly changing environment. Controversial ideologies are implemented in the curriculum and parents are not given a choice to opt out. If the parents decide to pull their children due to the controversial curriculum, the school steals their $1500 deposit. Families have to pay a $450 "field trip" fee during enrollment for the next school year. During the school year, they cancel field trips left and right , basically stealing the money that the families paid for the field trips in advance. Refunds are never offered. They "charge" for certain field trips for example the Shedd Aquarium and then end up taking the students on a "Illinois resident free day" to the Shedd, which does not cost the school anything, except for the bus fee. They charged families for an overnight field trip to one of the museums ($85) and notified parents later that the museum was under construction and they could not attend the field trip. Nobody ever got their money back! Instead they hosted a "sleepover " at the school to compensate. The school is run by an emotionally unstable Head Of School, with an enormous ego, who is not interested in any feedback, constructive criticism.

We explored other care options in the area, but nothing compared to Guidepost. We found the school to be clean and well maintained, and the curriculum encourages consistent personal and academic growth that sets up our kids for success in and outside of school. Admittedly, there were a few bumps a year ago with the team, but with the recent consistency in the leadership team and the Guides, we have seen our children flourish.

We have been sending both kids here since 2022. Both kids love learning new life skills, which has helped them develop a strong sense of independence and confidence. The art activities allow them to express creativity, and our old child eagerly looks forward to spending time in the gross motor room, where she can play and develop her physical skills. They both started in the nido room under a year old. Now our older daughter is in Children's House with other 3-5 year olds. The dedication and expertise of the Guides at Guidepost Montessori have been instrumental in fostering a love for learning in our children. They are the lifeblood of the school. They work tirelessly from dawn till dusk The school's emphasis on hands-on, child-centered learning has made education both fun and engaging them. We are incredibly grateful for the supportive community and the holistic approach. It's truly a wonderful place for our kids growth and development! Guidepost has been an amazing start in the learning journey for our kids.

Both of our boys have been there since they were infants, and they absolutely adore their teachers and look forward to going each day. Ms. Ahmed in the infant room is truly exceptional--warm, attentive, and deeply experienced. It's clear how much she loves and cares for the children, and the consistency she brings has meant so much to us over the years. Our school administrator, Ms. Dharti, is equally wonderful. She is highly involved, frequently present in the classrooms, and goes above and beyond to ensure that both teachers and students have everything they need to thrive. Every teacher we have had has been incredible with our boys! What stands out most is the nurturing, supportive environment combined with a strong commitment to Montessori principles. The classrooms are thoughtfully prepared, and there is a genuine emphasis on each child's individual growth--academically, socially, and emotionally. We have seen our boys grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity in ways that have exceeded our expectations. We truly cannot say enough positive things about this school and would wholeheartedly recommend Kripa to any family looking for a caring, high-quality Montessori environment.

The teachers are very patient, caring and dedicated to seeing the children thrive. As a parent, we love the exposure they get to so many activities all under one roof! Art class from kaleidoscope, Spanish (ms Adrianna) soccer, Choir (ms Leslie) , piano classes (+ annual recital) (ms MJ) and most recently classes on site from W.Kim taekwondo. Summers are full of fun events like bike and splash days and other special events for parents/families during the school year. We are lucky to have both ms razvi/ms Janet and ms Tucky/ms Aparna- we've felt supported here and both children are learning so much. Plus the kids loved their teachers. There seems to be a lot of support for the teachers w/ continued Montessori training and much more. There is almost no turnover, and many of these amazing teachers have been at Opus since it opened 4 years ago. We have been very happy here and are grateful to have found opus.
