I have had kiddos attending Kiddie College since 2021 and we've truly had such a wonderful experience. My son was more than ready for TK and my daughter is thriving. She's always so happy at pick‑up and loves telling me all about her day. I completely trust the teachers and staff--they genuinely care about the kids and always put them first. They plan fun events all year long (color run, snow machine day, beach day), and the kids absolutely love it. Not having to worry about who is watching your child or the level of care they are getting is priceless, and you get that peace of mind at Kiddie College. read more

Phenomenal. Student to teacher ratio is really low. It's the cleanest and most cheerful daycare around. The staff is all professional and gives our child the attention she deserves. They care about their well being - socially, emotionally and academically. We wanted something we could trust and they could have a positive, safe experience - and that's kiddie college!! I've never once worried and the staff is on top of all procedures, regulations and provides excellent curriculum! Outdoor time is awesome and we love the other families - it feels like a community read more

We were referred to Kiddie College by a friend when we moved here 2 years ago. We are so lucky to have happened upon this incredible school! My daughter started when she was 2 years old, and has loved every minute of it. I am continually impressed by how engaged the teachers are with our children, the small class size, the types of projects they are doing, and how they are learning to communicate and problem solve with each other. The kids are always doing fun and interesting activities, getting their hands into everything, and I love that my daughter comes home exhausted from a full day. My daughter has grown both socially and academically, and I credit that completely to the thoughtful teachers and staff. I can't thank them enough for the peace of mind I feel when dropping her off every day knowing she is being cared for in such a wonderful place. read more

We love Kiddie College, and feel so lucky we found such a great place for our son! The teachers and staff are so attentive and genuinely care about your kiddos. My son has been there for 6 months now and he's grown so much in that time. He loves his teachers and lights up when we get to school to see them. I love the small teacher to child ratio, all the fun activities they plan for the kids, and just how much his teachers engage and interact with him. We couldn't be happier with Kiddie College! read more

My kids and I moved from Boston, so I researched all of the local preschools without knowing anything about the area or being able to take a tour in person. While KC is on the pricey end of tuition for Ventura, it is well worth it. Communication is great whether it's via email, phone, or through Brightwheel. The teachers are so incredibly understanding and patient. It took my son about 8 MONTHS to stop crying at drop off. (Not because he hated going there, just because he's a huge mama's boy and doesn't deal well with big transitions.) His teachers helped reassure me all the time by sending me messages and pictures immediately after I left, showing that he was already happy and playing with friends. There is a lot of sensory play, crafts, and outdoor play time. Kids are taught how to communicate and work out conflict with each other. They even offer extracurriculars during the year such as music class and yoga. Cannot recommend this preschool enough! read more

First off, the name is misleading. I had thought there would be a rigorous and demanding curriculum based off the word "college" being in their name, and I had already began the process of setting intense learning expectations for my 18 month old daughter. I imagined that starting this process earlier could eventually lead to my child going to Harvard, but I did have some concerns about setting such high standards for toddlers. It turned out that there is very little in the way of academics, and the kids there are just playing and having the time of their lives! It's comforting to know they are being cared for in the most loving ways all week long. The staff is incredible and so welcoming from the start. They have so many different events and activities to help make each day exciting for the kids. They've hosted events like "A Night in Hollywood" (all the kids dressed up fancy lol) and an ice cream social event at the park for all the families. It was a little heartbreaking to see how happy my daughter is going there as I expected her to be more emotional during drop offs... but in the end I'm just thankful we found Kiddie College, and that she feels so incredibly loved going there. read more

Our 4 year old has attended Kiddie College for almost a year and we couldn't be happier with such a wonderful childcare center. The teachers, staff, and facility are exactly what you'd hope for when trying to find a place to send your child. Class size to staff ratio is good and never feels too chaotic. We love all of the fun activities they create for the kids and using the brightwheel app to keep parents updated with pictures and notes is greatly appreciated. We feel extremely blessed to get to call this place a second home for our son. read more

We love kiddie college! My daughter went here for pre school when we moved to Ventura. She was there for over a year and really loved it. The teachers are great and they really do a great job at caring for and teaching the kids. She went full time and the price is good for the quality of care. We have gone to visit already after she went to kindergarten because she misses it! read more

Our son is thriving at Kiddie College. As a parent trying to navigate raising a young child during a pandemic, my mind was put to ease by Marisa and her staff. They are warm and from the first interaction I could see they love their students. Each teacher I have interacted with has loved our son with the authenticity you see in family. The facility is clean, and full of activities that would spur the excitement of any child. We are so thankful for Kiddie College for the atmosphere of joy and love they have created. Our son runs to the building each morning and on some days, won't even turn around to say goodbye to us lol. That is enough for us. The apps they've used have been awesome! I stop what I am doing when I get a notification from them! Thank you Kiddie College for loving on our boy! read more

We are so grateful to have found Kiddie College! My family moved from LA where we loved our day care and we were so worried about the transition for our son. We toured KC and it was the only daycare we felt instantly comfortable and interested in. We did not think our son would find a place he liked as much as his previous one, but KC is that place! He no longer cries when we drop him off and sometimes, heartbreakingly, just looks at us and says "bye bye". As hard as that is, it is exactly what you want for your child. The staff communicates well and answers my many questions with patience and kindness. They also do a ton of activities with the kiddos and lots of art projects. Highly recommend! read more

When my husband and I were researching preschools, we did a tour of Kiddie College and we felt instantly comfortable when we were there. We signed up right away after that, and there's been no regret on that decision. Kiddie College is amazing! I have seen so much progress and growth from my son since he began. All the staff are so nice and they know all the kids by name. And the teachers are great about helping you with any questions or concerns you may have. We went through a few weeks episode of my son having some anxiety at drop off, and I worked with the teachers to help make the process easier for him. Each month is a different theme so the kids have a chance to learn about so many different things throughout the year, and I definitely see that knowledge be transferred outside the classroom. They also use a classroom app to keep in touch with you and also share photos of activities your child participates in. During that anxious drop-off period, his teacher would keep me in the loop after I left to let me know how he was doing, which eased my mind and me feel better know he was doing ok. I have also saved all the photos I have been sent and am planning on making a memory book. There are so many great schools in Ventura, and Kiddie College is definitely one of them! We will miss you when we go off to TK next year! read more

We switched to Kiddie College after my 4 year old son was unhappy at a different preschool in Ventura. Everyday he would cry when it was time to go to school. Even though he only has one more year before starting kindergarten, I decided for peace of mind that I would try something new. Now, at Kiddie College, my son is so excited about going to school! And we have had zero issues with his behavior. I adore the staff and his teacher is authentic, down to earth, and communicative! I'm so happy we found Kiddie College! read more

This place is amazing. The trust I have in the school is comparable with trusting my daughter with family. The communication is top notch with a special app to stay connected throughout the day. The teachers are what take this school over the edge. The growth, joy, education, and pure kindness they all come with every day to teach these crazy kids is what all my mama dreams are made of. Cleanliness and organization cannot be beat. Get on the waiting list. They are amazing. Special shout-out to my daughters main teachers ms. Sky and ms. Rachel who make me and her feel at home and comfortable. We love kiddie college!! read more

Kiddie College is amazing! We love the teachers here! They are all so loving & caring with our daughter! We enrolled our daughter here last year, and she has thrived and learned so much. She wakes up so excited to go to school every morning and shows so much enthusiasm when telling us what she does at school everyday. I love that they have different themes every month and they are able to teach the kids so much by using a hands on approach - I mean, what 3 year old knows the entire solar system?! Lol! All the teachers seriously are amazing though, we feel so comfortable leaving our daughter in their care. read more

We LOVE Kiddie College!! Every teacher is amazing and my kids beg me to go. Our experience has been incredible and I feel so comfortable having my children in their care. Such a wonderful, FUN place! read more

I could write a book about how much we love this school. I was very nervous about sending my kiddo to day care - let alone during a pandemic! My anxiety quickly evaporated and was replaced by amazement and gratitude. The director and all of the teachers are incredibly professional, beyond kind, and endlessly creative. (I sometimes get jealous of all the fun activities my son gets to do at school!!). My son has learned so much in only 8 months at Kiddie College. He runs into the building each day with so much excitement, which is the ultimate endorsement! The school has become our extended family. We are so grateful to have found this amazing place. read more

My son loves the school, love their setup, and the updates throughout the day they provide via the Brightwheel app

Marisa is such a wonderful director! This is such a great addition to the east end of Ventura. She has low student to teacher ratio and has a ton of activities for children. The prices are reasonable for all the love they provide. read more

Amazing school! Amazing staff! Can't say enough good things about this place! :) Marisa has taken such good care of us and makes us feel right at home! My daughter can't wait to go back! read more
