Ms Zenaida who had my son in infant B when he first started to seeing him and his 2 sisters grow, shows how wonderful and dedicated the staff at TLE are. From my son starting with Ms Aqueela when she first started and getting him potty trained to my middle daughter having both Abida and Aqueela, now with my youngest currently in Abida's class, I am so glad they have touched the lives of my children. I have been so fortunate to have them attend a school that is very attentive to the children. I couldn't have asked for better teachers. The curriculum and structure provided have been a big help in ensuring these kids get started on their education early as it's the foundation to their futures.

He recommended waiting to see how things played out before deciding whether to write a review or file a formal complaint. Now that time has passed, and no further fallout occurred, I am writing this to help other parents make an informed decision. How dare The Learning Experience contact Child Protective Services (CPS) in an effort to cover their tracks after my wife questioned them about a bruise on our toddler's face, a bruise that was not present when we dropped her off. We understand that toddlers can get bumps and bruises from regular play. But what's unacceptable is the lack of accountability from the staff and the cowardly decision to pass the blame onto parents instead of being transparent. Having CPS show up at our home, suspicious of us as parents was humiliating, distressing, and completely unjustified. Even worse, CPS did not have anything to report, confirming there was no credible concern or evidence behind the daycare's accusation, but now we're in the "system". My wife shares many of the same concerns echoed in other negative reviews. The staff at this location appeared disinterested and undertrained, complaining, disengaged, and clearly "just there for a check." Nearly every time we picked up our daughter, there was a different teacher in the room, and no one seemed to know what had gone on during the day. Communication was chaotic and unprofessional. It often felt like they hired people off the street with zero preparation. We observed several children with crusted snot on their faces, and even our daughter often looked like she'd been "through a storm" by pickup time. These are not isolated impressions, but they reflect a clear pattern of poor management and inadequate care. And filing a formal complaint with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in still under consideration contingent on statute of limitations. However, we encourage other parents with similar experiences to do the same and NOT let this walk. Sure, positive reviews are plentiful. But I strongly urge any parent reading this to also take the one-star reviews seriously. If you value professionalism, accountability, and compassion in a childcare setting, this is not the place.

I have had three children attend La Petite Simi Valley over the past eight years from infancy…read morethrough TK. I can honestly say the school has been incredible every step of the way. There are four child care centers closer to my home but I make the drive to La Petite because it's 100% worth it. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable, supportive and kind. They have years of expertise behind them, and it shows in their interactions with the kids. The communication between the staff and parents has been excellent and I feel that we have always been informed of curriculum standards, child behavioral patterns and upcoming events that my kids could partake in. When my older two children started kindergarten, their teachers remarked about how well prepared they were to start elementary school. I believe La Petite was instrumental in getting them ready. While the quality of the education at La Petite has kept us there for years, their flexibility with attendance has been a major incentive as well. I am a first responder, and therefore my work schedule is never fixed. I have been able to send my children to school different days each week without this causing an issue for the staff. It has been extremely helpful! The tuition at La Petite is highly competitive to other childcare centers in my area. Considering the school provides meals, snacks and diapers for the kids, it's a great deal! You can't go wrong choosing La Petite Simi Valley for your child. It is a great school with quality education, wonderful teachers and a family oriented atmosphere. If I could give it more than five stars, I would!

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.
