My daughter attended SJDN from 7 months to 14 months old. It was a short period of time, but the…read morestaff at SJDN had a lasting impression on us! My husband and I researched several Montessori schools and at-home daycares in the area before concluding SJDN was the one for us. It was important to us that the class sizes were big enough so that there were multiple infant classes with children closer in age, so the crawlers weren't mixed in with those who could walk. We really appreciated how organized things felt with staff wearing uniforms and walkie-talkies being utilized for communication. For our site visits, we were greeted upon entering (usually by Miss Rhysie, who was awesome!!) and it always felt like they were prepared for us to arrive - this didn't always happen during our tours at other daycares, haha. I love that SJDN is a non-profit with a sliding scale tuition. Pricing for infant care is NOT cheap and SJDN doesn't offer part-time care; I don't think many places do. However, we felt that our daughter was well cared for here. At pick-up and drop-off we were always given some feedback about our daughter's day and greeted warmly by everyone while walking through the facilities. Shoutout to our daughter's teachers in room 7 at the time: Miss Samira, Miss Halima, Miss Venus, Miss Diana, Miss Kristina, Miss Berenice. These ladies were wonderful :) The only thing we would change is the location and the lack of a parking lot! There is a only a small curb for pick-ups and drop-off and (paid) street parking only. During busy times, we would have to wait up to 5-10 minutes for a spot to open up at the curb. This was the most annoying thing but it would not deter us from choosing SJDN again. We left because we moved out of state, or else we probably would've stayed for longer! Thank you SJDN!

You are all appreciated.

My son started at Play 'N' Learn when he was two years old. As an extremely shy and reserved boy,…read moreit usually takes him a long time to warm up to new people, but all of the teachers at Play 'N' Learn were incredibly patient and attentive to his well-being. After two full years here, he has truly blossomed and learned so much. Every morning, we dropped him off with complete peace of mind, knowing he was in a safe and caring environment. Ms. Yvonne always greeted us with a smile, and my son constantly shared wonderful stories about her and his other teachers. He also made great friends--including a best friend he couldn't stop talking about at home! We are sad to leave Play 'N' Learn as he moves on to TK this year, but the foundation they built for him has prepared him so well for this next step. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Play 'N' Learn and its amazing staff. We are already looking forward to sending him back for summer camp next year.

We have had a truly wonderful experience with this daycare, led by the director, Perl. Our daughter…read moreis three years old, and since we moved from New York one year and six months ago, the environment and system here initially felt a bit unfamiliar to us. However, it didn't take long for us to realize how warm, professional, and thoughtfully run this daycare really is. At first, we did have a small concern that the number of children seemed a bit high compared to the number of teachers. However, during our meeting, the staff clearly explained that the daycare strictly follows California's teacher-to-child ratio regulations. After spending some time here and observing how experienced and capable the teachers are, we quickly felt reassured. It became clear that the team knows exactly how to manage and guide the children in a calm and structured way. One thing that really stands out is Perl's leadership. She is very hands-on and actively involved. She organizes events and is often outside observing the children while they play. If she notices any inappropriate behavior, she steps in immediately and gently corrects it in a calm, professional, and patient manner. As a parent, it is incredibly reassuring to see someone guiding the children so thoughtfully. Another detail we truly appreciate is that the director's office is intentionally located along the drop-off and pick-up walkway. Because of this, we frequently see Perl or the assistant director, Marissa, when dropping off or picking up our child. We can easily say hello, have friendly conversations, and talk about how our child is doing. At some daycares, if you ask the director about your child, they might just tell you to ask the classroom teacher. Here, that's not the case. They are approachable, engaged, and genuinely interested in the children and their families. As parents, we can sometimes be picky or have many questions about our child's experience. What we really appreciate is that the staff here always listen patiently and respectfully. They never dismiss concerns and always take the time to communicate thoughtfully with parents. That kind of openness and respect makes a huge difference and builds a lot of trust. Perl has extensive experience and shows a great deal of respect and empathy toward each family. She understands that every family has different backgrounds and situations, and she approaches each child with patience and care. Under Perl's leadership, the teachers are incredibly kind and caring with the children. Each teacher has their own style, which we really appreciate. Some are firm when needed, while still being warm and sweet with the kids. I was especially impressed when I read one teacher's profile card explaining her philosophy that every child has a different personality and should therefore be guided in different ways. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to me. Other many teachers also show a very genuine love for the children and treats them almost like their own. The outdoor play area is also fantastic. In the afternoon, it naturally gets shaded, which helps the kids stay comfortable even during warmer days. The staff are also very attentive to the weather and will bring the children indoors when it gets too hot. The daycare also does a wonderful job celebrating diversity. There are many family participation events, such as St. Patrick's Day celebrations, that reflect different cultures and backgrounds. In addition, the children participate in daily educational activities that support their development. You can really see the experience and thoughtful structure behind their curriculum. In addition, the daycare offers extra activity classes such as dancing, soccer, and baseball. These are wonderful programs that give the children opportunities to stay active, explore different interests, and simply have fun while learning new skills. They also offer a monthly "Parent Night" on Friday evenings. For a small additional fee, they care for the kids until around 10 PM, giving parents a little breathing room. The kids enjoy movie nights and fun group activities organized by the teachers, and our daughter always comes home excited after these evenings. We feel very lucky to have found this daycare. If we have a second child, we would absolutely choose to bring them here again without hesitation. For parents who may still be deciding where to send their child, I completely understand how difficult that decision can be. Choosing a daycare is one of the most important choices for your family. I hope this review helps ease some of that hesitation. From our experience, this is a place where your child will be cared for, guided, and loved--and you can feel confident in your decision.

I found them through a mom's group because I heard they are affordable and they potty train your kids! We tried everything in the book and the advice from other parents but nothing worked. That is, nothing worked until a few weeks after attending this preschool. The rates differ for potty trained and not potty trained. As soon as my little one was consistent, they switched to the potty-trained rate. Thank you! They provide food and snacks (included in the price) and the school is opened as early as 7:30Am-5:30Pm. This was one of my favorite things about the school . We did the 8hr/day, 5d/wk option and it was amazing. My daughter was there for a year and we wish we could keep her there but she had to move on. My daughter learned a lot (zoo phonics, reading, writing, cutting, geography, biology, the planets, etc). My 4 year old surprised us with naming the continents and saying significant things about each continent. She recited the anatomy of an insect (including the thorax)! She told us about the flower's stamen, pollinators, chlorophyll, and photosynthesis! She's 4 years old! That's insane and we are super happy. You also get to keep a binder of your child's work and you can see the progression on top of the crafts and projects they send the kids home with. The holidays are festive too! She loved the school and didn't want to leave. The school provides a monthly newsletter, the curriculum for the month, and the lunch menu. As parents of a tough- minded child, the partnership we had with the teachers helped keep our little one's attitude on check at home. With that said, we gained friendships along the way. These people are caring and we always felt like our child was in good care under their supervision. We highly recommend them!

Ms. Ashley was engaging with the kids, knew how to encourage kids when they needed some emotional support, and understood how to communicate at their level ensuring it was a safe space. My youngest (boss baby) attended the infant side and loved seeing Ms. Jeannette every day. It was difficult to dropoff my youngest at daycare each day after maternity leave was over, but they made it an easy transition for me and my kid was always well taken care of. I appreciate how much the teachers care about the kids and make sure that the parents are heard. I only removed 1 star as I wish the business side of Action Day would take better care of the staff. One example would be to add air conditioning in the infant center for the staff area. It is hard doing check in & check out sweating in that area, I cannot image how difficult it must be for the staff sitting there.

My 2.5-year-old daughter attended this center for only four days. During pickup in the early evening on day 4, I arrived at the playground and quickly realized she was missing. The teacher supervising the class did not know where she was and was asking another toddler if they knew where my daughter had gone. After several minutes of me franticly searching and running around halls and the play area calling her name, another parent told me she had found a little girl alone on the opposite side of the school, and had taken her to the infant office. That child was my daughter. She had been unsupervised for an unknown period of time. The teacher supervising her only knew she was missing because I showed up. While the director was apologetic afterward, this incident represented a serious lapse in supervision and safety procedures. Because of this, my family decided to withdraw her from the program immediately. I'm sharing this not to be harsh, but because I believe parents deserve transparency when it comes to safety. I know I would want to know if something like this happened where I was considering sending my child. We did sit down with the regional director and were told that measures were put in place to ensure it doesn't happen again. The staff are friendly and seemed to listen to our concerns, and I will add, Ms. Jeanette was amazing and so loving toward our girl, for that I am grateful. At the end of the day, that evening could've have ended much worse for my family. I am just thankful our daughter was found safe. We wanted to love this school for our family, but unfortunately, Action Day Moorpark failed us.
