You're invited!

Guidepost Montessori at Fort Mason is excited to invite you to a panel discussion, Montessori Innovation and the Future of Education! Please join us on Wednesday, November 15th!
By attending this event, you will have the opportunity to visit beautiful, high-fidelity Children's House (ages 3-6) and Elementary Montessori (ages 6-12) classrooms and see unique materials not found in any other classrooms designed for children's hands-on learning. Each enticing activity is just at the child's level, designed to help them joyfully build something that will last a lifetime: character, understanding, and a budding sense of self.
Our distinguished panel of experts will engage in lively conversation about the innovation of the Montessori method and how the century-old pedagogy translates into the modern world and the future of education. The goal of our education is to enable each child to shape their own destiny, achieve their own greatness, and design a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Keeping a clean, orderly classroom is important in a Montessori environment. The practical life activities teach children how to take care of the space around them- from physically cleaning to, on a deeper level, appreciating one's environment. These activities may include how to set the table, how to clean dishes or how to water and care for plants. For example, in the Montessori table-washing activity, the child would be shown how to go to the correct area of the room to gather cleaning supplies, take a pitch to the sink, and fill it with water, and then methodically scrub the table. Another example: children love learning how to put out a flower arrangement in the classroom. Not only is is beautiful, but they get to make choices about what will make it the most beautiful, all while performing a very involved sequence of tasks with a naturally mandatory order.There are multiple layers to these activities! They may seem straightforward and repetitive, but a lot is going on under the surface. Book a tour today to learn more! (650) 382-0550

In Montessori classrooms, activities can often mean extended sequences of work. In our toddler community, plant watering led to the need for mopping. Through this sequence of events, children learn about natural consequences (then we spill water, the floor gets wet!) and problem solving (most mistakes can be fixed).

We’re Open and Offering Emergency Care for Essential Workers

Guidepost Montessori at Palo Alto is now offering Emergency Care for Essential Workers (ECEW) to “essential workers” seeking child care services during the COVID-19 crisis so that they can remain focused on their critical work. The program will be offered to families within and outside the Guidepost network. Care will be provided for children ages 8 weeks-6 years in small group cohorts (10 students per classroom) on-site at our existing locations, or within the existing infrastructure on-site within medical facilities and their surrounding properties.

The employees within my organization need care. How can we get involved?
There are a number of offerings at various levels of involvement available to your organization. Bring your employees to us.


  • Employees find care at a Guidepost school. Provide a co-branded flyer to your employees with information and next steps so they can reserve a spot at your nearest Guidepost school.

  • Reserve “bulk seats” at a Guidepost school. As an employer, reserve or pre-purchase a set number of seats at (or buy out in total) a Guidepost school. Discounts available for 10+ seats reserved.
  • Videos (show all)
