He happened to be there and was so excited to hear that my son had passed, but also said, "I had no doubt whatsoever that this would be the result!" Randy was a spectacular and encouraging instructor as everyone we've come in contact at Safeway has been. Both of our children went through their program and they both passed their drivers test on the first attempt. Another great job, heroes of Safeway! We will continue to spread the good word about your great training organization.

Took Daniel Darras to his DMV appointment and couldn't be more proud to see our student pass with flying colors.

This past Sunday, I was finally able to attend his CLASS motorcycle training at Willow Spring's Streets of Willow track. Between the time I first read his book, till this day, I've realized that motorcycles ARE my passion. I bought my first motorcycle when I was 15 and in no time I was racing motocross with it. Fast forward to today, and I'm working toward my goal of racing my '97 Honda VFR in the AHRMA's series, and this class is one step in that direction. No matter if you are just an enthusiastic street rider, or a trackday junkie, this class can teach you some finer points to riding a motorcycle smoothly and quickly. I wish I could give CLASS 10 stars!

Lots of riding time that also includes classroom time to learn and apply practical and safe techniques for riding. Riders are grouped into an A and B group depending on your riding level.

Safety is of extreme importance and you are warned that if your are unsafe among other riders, you will be asked to leave. Reg and Gigi are the best in accommodating each and every rider.

To top it off we live in Santa Paula but they made it work! The best part was our son passed his driving test on the 1st try! He said Paul prepped him turn by turn and only had 3 errors! Overall AMAZING experience, will definitely recommend to our fellow parents and will be using them again for our other children!

Our daughter has been here for the past two years and the care they provide is exceptional. The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. It's clear they create an environment where children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn.

They also put so much effort into planning engaging activities and fun days, both in the classroom and on outings, which makes every week feel special for the kids. Knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands gives us so much peace of mind. We truly feel lucky to be part of this community.

There is routine, structure, and an overall embracing/welcoming atmosphere. From Center Time to field trips, I feel at ease knowing my children are in such great hands. The classrooms are spacious and orderly, the infant rooms require shoe covers for cleanliness, and there are different play areas outside that are age appropriate for the different age ranges. If kids get a booboo, parents are notified immediately. VCLC also regularly practices safety drills, such as fire & earthquake, etc, which also gives me peace of mind to know they are always prepared. The care and support the staff gives to the little ones is boundless! Communication is constant, via ClassDojo app, where teachers upload pictures of the kiddos doing different activities like crafts, garden time, or fun events such as Firefighters visiting, or Dave the Magician. Infants also get an app called Tadpoles, where they send pictures throughout the day of the babies doing baby stuff. I love this place and my kids do too!

My 2.5 year old loves going to school and runs from me when I come to pick her up. She wants to stay and that is vastly different from her last school.

My son has been coming to Crossroads for a while now. My husband and I based our choice on not only…read morethe previous Yelp reviews, but also the recommendations of numerous (20+) mothers in a mothers group I am on in Simi Valley. We are very happy with our decision, and would wholeheartedly recommend Crossroads to other families who are looking for Childcare. It was our first time putting our son in non-family childcare and so understandably we were a bit nervous, however watching him grow and come home and talking about his friends is simply amazing. Crossroads is located at the church (Methodist), and they do teach age-appropriate bible learning. My family is non-denominational, however I think it is important to expose children to different things/teaching. My son will come home and explain to me the stories that he has heard (IE Jonah and the Whale) and also the teachings that he has heard (Sharing, Being Kind..all things that EVERYONE should know and SUPPORT!). Ms. Gordon (the program Director) explained that they would be sharing the teachings, but also that the program is open to everyone regardless of belief. I honestly find it very cute to hear a 4-year olds recollection of a Bible Tale. The staff is all awesome. Ms. Gordon, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Elizabeth. Mr. Ron (the cook) is literally all my son talks about. He gets snack and lunch provided by the school and it is often things like quesadillas, sliders, fruit, vegetables, milk, cereal, granola bars. It has definitely increased the types of food my son is willing to try. Communication from the school is awesome and they take safety as a top priority. I've had a few times where my son has fallen and scraped a knee and I have always gotten an accident/incident report and he always tells me that "teacher" takes care of it and put on a bandaid or a cool pack. Every once and a while the school will have events for parents (hindered by COVID obviously) but we have had Muffins in the Morning and got to go and join our student to make crafts, I really do love these events. The school takes a lot of COVID precautions (sanitizing, hand washing, and all adults wear masks) and I appreciate that the children do not have to wear masks (I personally feel its unrealistic to expect small children to wear masks all day in the California heat). There have only been 2 COVID incidents (one student as close contact to a family member, one confirmed case) since the pandemic began, and I think that speaks volumes for how much the staff cares and takes care of the school. Also, when there was a shutdown due to a case the school was very open and realistic in reaching out to parents and coming to an agreement (individually with each affected family) regarding tuition re-imbursement/payment for that month. Also the price is very, very, very, good for the quality of care and the learning and fun that my son gets to have there. Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about Crossroads and their staff. I really do recommend them for childcare.
