Storytime on why you should not go there on my experience we're only going there for two years…read morefourth and fifth grade. in fifth grade, it was lining up for lunch and me, and two of my friends went to the bathroom and I got suffocated by both of them. One of them covered my mouth and one of them covered my nose and throat. One time when we were doing math I asked my teacher to go to go use the restroom, but she told me that I could've went at recess and said no, this also happened to me during computers when I needed to use the restroom but the teacher always kept asking if it was emergency if I didn't ask then why wouldn't it be an emergency? Another part about the friends is how they were really fake and you would think they were nice, but they weren't. They always tried to get me to the principals and one time I brought my squishy to school and one of them drew on it and said that it wasn't them, you would think they are really nice because they because they were nice to adults, but they were rude to kids, especially when we played soccer. I almost got fractured knee because one of them kept kicking my shins and throwing me to the ground, the staff workers were not the best. They kept telling her to stop when she wouldn't stop. I tried to get away from her, but she kept chasing me and pulled my hair every time. One more thing about the teachers is that how they always have favorites, but they left them in the dust after a couple days or especially weeks. I was my teacher's favorite on grandparents day because my grandparent did not come, but after that, she always gave me bad grade grades. If you ever decide to go to a Christian school and Simi Valley, I would not pick Grace as my number one favorite. I hope you understand why not to go here.

I can't say how grateful and happy we are to be part of this school. This place is truly a great…read moreschool. The Principal Mrs Morrow is outstanding, she really has a love for the Lord and a love for every kid there. The teachers from Preschool to 2nd (so far) have been absolutely lovely. They truly take interest in teaching the kids academically, but also responsibility, respect and faith which are all as important if not more so I believe. If you are curious, I would honestly suggest scheduling a visit. We toured several schools before deciding to go here, and I have to say that there was definitely something special about this place. My kids and myself have made some very sweet friendships and can honestly say are very blessed to be here.

Bethany Christian School is a unique and wonderful community. My daughter attends preschool there,…read moreand is thrilled to be there every day, and comes home talking excitedly about all she learned. The staff and teachers approach their job with a level of professionalism and organization that I didn't see at the other preschools I toured. It's very "buttoned-up", well-kept, and bright, and that all sets a tone that education is important. It's also a FUN place to learn. You couldn't ask for a better playground, and tables outside are set up with Brio blocks and various hands-on toys. The best part about Bethany is how the students are taught about God. The teachers there all care very much about communicating to students, in age-appropriate stories and concepts, about how much God loves them. My daughter's class, for instance, focuses on a different fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc.) each month. I like that this genuine desire for kids to know Jesus, seems to infuse every aspect of the day, rather than it feeling cheesy or obligatory. We live nearby, but I noticed in the student directory, there are families as far away as Oxnard and Malibu who drive out to Thousand Oaks to send their children to Bethany, and I can see why. What a warm, inviting, special place to get to be a student!

The level of compassion, competence, and care the teachers and school director embody is unmatched. The first day we took a tour of the school my toddler didn't want to leave. He was so enamored by their outdoor classroom. Fast forward to a year later, my toddler is now in their preschool program saying all kinds of new phrases and ideas he is learning in school. He adores his school, the teachers and his friends and whenever he can't go due to sickness he'll say to me "I feel sad because I want to go to school" And my newest addition to the family started in the Daycare. He is such a happy baby, never cries at drop off. The care is so individualized, they give you notes on how his day went, and sometimes pictures or video clips of precious moments they're able to capture. There's a baby curriculum that they use, every thing done there and all the fixtures present are well thought out and intentionally done to promote healthy development. FFECC provides our family with such peace of mind to know that are kiddos are in safe hands. I'm so grateful and blessed to have found this school.

The environment is absolutely perfect for children to be in nature. My son is doing Kindergarten there. He is not chained to a desk 5 hrs a day instead he gets to choose what he would like to learn about everyday. She loves the kids like they are her own. My 2 year old also attends and he is tough. She is the baby whisperer. She can talk him out of a fit it seconds. Not only are they learning to be wonderful humans but I am learning how to be a better parent. She is so hands-on with the parents it's incredible. She helped me turn my five-year-old from controlling and demanding into A kind loving sharing passionate patient young boy. I read the bad reviews on here and they make me want to cry because they are so incredibly off-base and offputting. None of those words are true! None! All you have to do is come see for yourself. Take a tour. Visit with your children. Just talking to her will show you how wrong and awful those reviews were. Out of the five preschools I talked to and toured before hers she is the only one that asked me about my son's cochlear implant's. Every other principal just said OK and continued on like it was nothing. She asked me to talk about it and what I needed and what he needed. She cares! I feel so Fortunate to have found blue house and Emily. Thank you!

Do you have a sensitive little soul at home you're anxious to find the perfect preschool fit for?…read moreLet me tell you about our experience with a truly special place. My kiddo was not quite 2 and I wanted to find him a preschool where he felt really comfortable before I gave birth to his younger brother, so that he wouldn't feel the weight of TWO huge life changes all at the same time. He was also still in diapers and was basically not speaking yet (he was in speech therapy through Tri-Counties) so I wanted to find a place that could work with all of that. Last but certainly not least, he was NOT used to being away from his caregivers (parents or grandma) when we found Blue House. As soon as we set foot on the Blue House campus I knew it was the right place. It's a home-based preschool with a huge outdoor space (even including a nature trail) and lovely indoor space with tons of Montessori work and other things for the kids to work on, and the fact that it's not a huge, overwhelming number of kids (and a great teacher-to-student ratio) made my little one immediately feel comfortable there. The all-ages environment was also a huge draw; seeing kids ages 2 to 6 playing together was so appealing. All the kids were so gentle and kind, I thought to myself, I wouldn't mind ONE BIT if my kiddo learns from them! The director, Emily, has her doctorate in educational psychology from USC and YEARS of experience with both teaching and parenting. She immediately made us feel comfortable with her wisdom and knowledge and the way we saw her working with the students. We loved the other teachers as well! Emily is supportive of lots of regular visits until a child feels comfortable there before their first drop-off, which was HUGE for us. By the time we got to the last visit, which was the first time my mom left my kiddo there for an hour instead of staying with him for their visit, he LOVED it there. He did cry a little, but was quickly comforted by Emily and the other teachers and had a great rest of his visit that day. Since then - he has NOT ONCE, including on his very first day of full school, when he was barely over 2 years old, cried or been upset about going there. He LOVES Blue House and is always excited about getting there. My kiddo started with just 2 days a week going from 9-12. As he got more comfortable, older, and dropped his nap eventually, he now, at age 4, goes 4 days a week for the full day, which is 9-2 (during the regular school year there is a 15-minute "grace period" on either end). It was a very gradual, easy, comfortable transition to ramp up to this point and Emily was fine with us doing it at the pace that was right for us. (There is also a summer program which is incredibly helpful if you want your kiddo occupied the whole year, but to still maintain consistency with their routine the whole time.) I truly believe being at school with kids of varied ages and his supportive teachers, who always made sure to make him feel understood and feel he was able to successfully communicate with them, helped just as much as speech therapy did. He's now my little conversationalist and a huge talker! (It also helped with some food issues he was having and also getting therapy for.) It was a HUGE help that he did not need to be using the toilet when he started there. He went his full first year in diapers and the teachers were all great with changing him when necessary. When we did stop using diapers, at age 3 when he started his second year there, they were SO helpful and basically finished the process of toilet learning for me after I started it over a 3-day weekend. I attribute a huge part of our toilet success with this school! Over the years, as my kiddo has faced challenges, Emily has always been there to talk with me about what's going on at home and at school and how to address things. She has helped us get over some of the typical rough patches of childhood as smoothly as possible. We are so happy our kiddo has one more year here. He has made such great friends and he is excited to attend every day. His current favorite thing to do there is "write" books! We were not particularly worried about "academics" when looking for a preschool, but you should know that everything my 4-year-old knows about letters, writing, and simple math he learned here - because HE wanted to, not because he was pressured to learn in any way. They are truly a child-led place, but also HUGELY supportive of the more academic side of things if your kiddo is into that. There are of course a ton of play opportunities too, and I love that they spend so much time outdoors. They also learn songs for 2 fun events per year that the parents attend :) I really cannot say enough good things about this amazing place. Feel free to ask any questions if you're interested, or just call Emily for a visit! We knew on our very first visit that this was the place for us and I truly believe anyone else who checks it out will feel the same.
