The facilities (beautiful shaded playground, fun classrooms and swimming pool!), welcoming and caring staff and teachers, and enrichment programs (Spanish, physical education, music) were all such a blessing. My daughter started when she was 3.5 with Mrs. Silva and Ms. Riley. My daughter typically has a hard time with new environments but got comfortable with the school right away - she only cried at her first drop off and never again. She ended the year with so many friends and great relationship with her teachers - especially Ms. Riley. She also learned all her letters and numbers. This year, she has been in the pre-K program with Ms. Adele and Mrs. Zangri. It has been a great year so far with learning math, science and sparkle words! My son started in the infant room a year ago with Ms. Alexa and Mrs. Taiko. In the fall, he moved to the toddler room with Mrs. Claudia, Mrs. Ana and Ms. Krysten. All the teachers are so loving and I can tell how my son has bonded with them. I especially loved all the work the teachers put into the open house and other family activities like the Halloween parade, grandparents day, and holiday performance. They create a great sense of community by involving the parents in so much of what goes on at the school. I would highly highly recommend this daycare/pre-school to any family that is close enough. We commuted from Chatsworth and it was totally worth it!

Camp Kinneret has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up here, spent summers…read moreas a camper, and later had the privilege of working on staff through college. Now, watching my own children experience the same magic has been incredibly special. There was never another camp I even considered. Some of my best childhood memories were made at Camp Kinneret, and I wanted my kids to have that same experience. Every morning they jump out of bed excited to catch the bus, and every afternoon they come home smiling with stories they can't wait to tell. They've been singing the same camp songs I grew up singing, which makes me smile every single time. The biggest surprise has been my older son. He struggles with anxiety and doesn't usually handle new situations or transitions well, so I worried about how camp would go. From day one, he climbed on the bus with a smile. He's felt comfortable, included, and genuinely happy from the start. Seeing his confidence grow over the summer has meant more to me than I can put into words. Camp Kinneret has a way of making kids feel like they belong. It's fun, welcoming, and filled with people who truly care. I loved it as a camper, loved being part of the staff, and now I love watching my boys create memories of their own. I honestly can't imagine a better place for them to spend their summers.

Exercised here while I was on vacation in SoCal in May 2025. It's a great gym with nice staff,…read morefoosball, ping pong, and a nice lounge area in the front lobby. The weightlifting area had a good amount of barbells, dumbbells, machines, and treadmills. I was able to get a good workout in, and, honestly, working out in the same region that Arnold Schwarzenegger and movie stars reside in made me want to work out harder haha. I wish there were more stationary bikes, but that's a nitpick. The stretching area is also in the walkway area, so it was kind of awkward stretching as people walked by or waited for their exercise class. Lockers and bathrooms were clean.

This facility is constantly closed for reasons like member meetings, maintenance, construction, and…read moreevents, making it very inconvenient for paying members. The operating hours are already much more limited compared to other gyms, yet the membership fees are higher while much of the equipment is outdated, limited, or frequently out of order. Instead of prioritizing customers' convenience and keeping the facility accessible, members are expected to constantly adjust their schedules around these frequent closures. Overall, the management seems more focused on internal activities than providing a reliable experience for their clients.

We recently returned to Judo at this location and I wanted to update. The facility is mostly…read morecompleted. Judo/gymnastics area is very well ventilated, the fans do make it difficult to hear but minor trade off. It's so well ventilated that kids don't get hot when they run. I also appreciate how special it is to have this Simi Valley Judo Club. It is one big class, so lots of opportunity for mixed age and mixed gender interactions. Often there are parent and kids enrolled at the same time. The cost is low, and duration is 1.5 hours twice weekly, so it doesn't hit the purse as hard if you need to miss a few lessons or join late. No makeups, which are time consuming for parents anyway. Newcomers can often progress quickly through the ranks due to the 3 hour per week duration (no belt testing and no additional fees). New ranks are awarded by Sensei based on observation of their behavior and their application of techniques at the daily randori. Randori is limited to the last 15 minutes of class, everyone sits and observes as 2 kids are called up to spar. So glad we returned.

Absolutely love The Little Gym in Simi!! Started taking my baby here a little over a month ago (at…read more9.5 months) and I regret not knowing about The Little Gym earlier because I would have taken her when she was much younger. When I first discovered the world of baby gyms, I looked into both here and another gym in the area. I ended up choosing The Little Gym because of 3 things: 1) Proximity. We are in Simi and I would have made the commute to the other gym if it was that much better, but it's not 2) Diversity. This might have to do with it being Simi Valley, but I liked the ethnic diversity that the neighboring city was lacking 3) Instructors wearing masks. I like how the instructors wear masks here. I feel like it sets a precedence for everyone, and shows care and concern for others. Not everyone wears masks and that's ok, even I myself only wear it some of the time. But something about them wearing masks I feel sets a good example of safety and cleanliness and is reassuring. My daughter is her happiest at The Little Gym! We love taking her there and will continue to take her there as often as we possibly can, even though we will be moving away from the area. Thank you Mr. Evan, The Little Gym classes are always the best part of our days!
