Maricela strikes the perfect balance between structured activities and playtime, helping the kids grow, socialize, and build confidence in the most supportive environment. If you're searching for a daycare where your child will be safe, happy, and genuinely cared for, we can't recommend Maricela enough.

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.

We've had a wonderful experience with Stephanie and her team! The staff is warm, welcoming, patient…read moreand attentive with the kids. From the first time we visited, one of the things that stood out to us was how friendly and well-behaved all the children were. They were genuinely excited to have our daughter join and I remember thinking "they must be doing something right if all these kids are so sweet and well-behaved!" The communication has been great, they let us know if anything happens throughout the day and regularly share photos and updates about the kids activities and curriculum. We especially love how much they spend time outdoors. They even grow their own fruits and vegetables, giving the kids a chance to learn about them and enjoy what they grow. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves it. She adores the staff, has become great friends with the other kids, and her social skills (and vocabulary) have improved so much since she's started. Stephanie and team have helped us navigate so many milestones and always provide advice on how we can keep supporting her at home. It gives us peace and mind knowing she's somewhere she feels happy, comfortable and cared for.

This is the third time that this woman has had my review removed. So I'll just keep this simple,…read moreshe left my child crying in a crib for over 45 minutes because she said it would hurt her back to lean down and soothe him. She accused me of "lying about sleep training" because he cried on his first day sleeping at her house for a nap. Keep in mind he was about 18 months old and in a very unfamiliar place. She then became angry with me for writing my experiences online and went to my business page and gave my business a negative review. Please be very cautious when choosing childcare providers. My experience with Stephanie is that she's very vengeful and not particularly mature. I will continue to repost this every time you have it taken down. I'm not interested in reading your responses anymore, I already know what they will say.

Our son started at the Ventura center when he was 7mo old and is now 15mo. Each of the teachers…read morewe've met and center leadership have all been spectacular to work with, nothing but great feedback to give. Since our initial tour visit when we were expecting, we saw so many kids interacting with their teachers as they were leaving for the day with so much love and enthusiasm. From the Infant A room; Ms. Sheryl, Ms. Megan and Ms. Davina all gave our son such a great environment to develop his initial skills, independent play time, group play and developed friendships with some of the other kids. They were all so mindful of his individual likes and difficulties, we knew we could always ask questions and get great feedback on how to better align our home activities with skills in the classroom. Through the Infant B room, Ms. Sara was a huge help to get him through his milestones until he was ready to move on to the Toddler room. I love seeing all the teachers for the little ones work well together and shift between rooms depending on where they needed more coverage. We understand this age is difficult and would regularly see Ms Alice or Ms Shawn jump in where needed and were always so passionate about the kids and keeping everyone safe. Now that he is in the Toddler room, we have seen a huge leap in his sign language skills, motor skills, object identification and eating abilities....even learning how to throw away his plate and cleaning up after himself. A huge shout out to Ms Cheryl in this class, she welcomes him every morning with such a huge smile, greeting and excitement for the day. Even when he is sad to see Mom and Dad leave, she's quick to get him smiling and sometimes even sends pictures showing what a happy boy he is shortly after. Each of the teachers in this room have been amazing and regularly see pictures of them playing with the kids and great interactions with them all when we pick him up early, Ms. Frida, Ms. Kaileia and Ms. Davina are all fantastic. I'm sure there are other teachers that have helped our son along the way but wanted to give a big shout out especially to these staff members that we've interacted with regularly. The center also coordinates fun activities for parents to join and play with their kids - a summer foam party, trunk or treat, ice cream party and valentine's day parties. Of course the kids have fun classroom events throughout the year and celebrate birthdays and holidays together. All parents get nervous dropping off their kids to a daycare but we have always gotten so much relief knowing he is in great hands with caring teachers and always comes home happy with new skills learned everyday. We highly recommend KinderCare Ventura to all fellow parents and even his grandparents have been really happy with the care and learning he receives at this center.

This is the worst tour/ experience I have ever had visiting a children's learning institution…read more Every person I interacted with had a nasty disposition in the sense that they did not want to be there (at work). Most of the teachers looked exhausted and the student to teacher ratio was laughable at how many kids they stuck with those teachers. For any children that have any disabilities I highly suggest looking elsewhere. The lead kept making excuses to step away to go sneak into her bosses office to gossip/decide if my child was something they wanted to take on and deal with. It left me angry for my little one and disgusted that these are the people parents are choosing to leave their children with, the good lord only knows what happens when no one is around. Also the play area in the back is a joke. Childcare is super expensive no matter where you choose to enroll. But the playground leaves more to be desired and is old and makes you wonder why would I pay so much to invest in my kiddo coming here when they obviously aren't investing the money back into the kids. Long story short if I could give them 0 stars I would, and I implore any parent thinking of sending their child here; disabilities or otherwise to keep your options open. There are tons of great schools in the area, and this is the honest review more people need to know about. Not the fake 4/5 star service reviews that clearly were not demonstrated on this day. Happy New Year and school hunting to the parents out there!

My daughter has been attending this school since she was 4 years old, and she absolutely loves it…read more The school provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. One of the things I appreciate most is the live-streaming feature, which gives parents peace of mind throughout the day. The school also provides meals, offers after-school pick-up, and helps students with their homework, making it a wonderful support for working families. I would especially like to recognize Rosa, the Director, and Gaby, the Assistant Director. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for the children and families are evident in everything they do. They are always approachable, supportive, and committed to creating a positive experience for both students and parents. Thank you to Rosa, Gaby, and the entire staff for all you do. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a caring, well-managed, and supportive learning environment for their child.

Knowing that our little ones have been in your care has brought us so much peace and comfort. The love, patience, and kindness you pour into everything you do do not go unnoticed. You have nurtured, guided, and cared for our children in ways that go beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Watching Saylor thrive under your care, just as Stella did before her, has been a gift beyond measure. But your impact goes beyond just taking care of them--you have helped us grow as parents, too. Your wisdom, insight, and gentle guidance have been invaluable to us. You've been there with advice, encouragement, and support when we needed it most, and for that, we will always be grateful. Most of all, we are so thankful for the friendship we have built with you both. What started as trust in your care has grown into a bond that we cherish deeply. We are so lucky to have you in our lives--not just as caregivers, but as dear friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything.

We've been in search for a new preschool for my daughter and found this on yelp with great reviews…read more My husband did virtual tour with Crystal and she was great at that time. We've been on their waitlist since August 2022. My husband an I called them for an update here and there and they started treating us unpleasant after making a few calls for an update. I called them again beginning of December 2022 to let them know that we are moving next year 2023 since we are a military family and hoping for an update of where my daughter stands in their waitlist. Crystal called me the next day to let me know they apparently have an opening for my daughter (right away?? glad I called). However, due to the increasing number of RSV and flu cases at that time, my husband and I decided to give my daughter's spot to the next kid for now but we'll take the next one since we're supposed to be next in line anyway and they were okay with it. Moving forward to today MID -FEBRUARY 2023 already still no update nor anything. If my daughter is already next in their waitlist I don't think the wait should be this long. I guess we just paid $80 (nonrefundable) for a reservation for nothing! I cant speak for the education and care provided to children as my daughter didnt even get to attend this school. However, my husband and I didnt appreciate how we were treated whenever we call for an update here and there by Crystal. She was just nice at the beginning with us.
