Guidepost Montessori at Round Rock is a NAEYC-accredited Montessori provider in Round Rock, Texas, serving infants through early elementary with a 230-seat capacity that includes part-time enrollment options. The facility uses Montessori methodology across age groups—from Nido (6 weeks–2 years) through the Children's House (3–6 years)—with language immersion available, and maintains daily parent communication through the Transparent Classroom app; families rate it highly at 4.2 stars across 60+ Google and 195 Birdeye reviews, with many describing faculty as caring and patient. However, the center carries four high-level deficiencies on its HHSC compliance record, and at least one parent reported concerns about incident response; prospective families should request detailed clarification on these findings and tour the facility. The center does not accept child care subsidies.
