My 2.5 year old loves going to school and runs from me when I come to pick her up. She wants to stay and that is vastly different from her last school. We have been there for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. This is an incredible school with great values and a perfect balance of learning and play.

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.

Our daughter has been here for the past two years and the care they provide is exceptional. The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. It's clear they create an environment where children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. One thing we especially appreciate is the communication with parents -- they keep us informed and are always thoughtful and responsive. They also put so much effort into planning engaging activities and fun days, both in the classroom and on outings, which makes every week feel special for the kids. Knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands gives us so much peace of mind. We truly feel lucky to be part of this community.

I have two kids attending this facility, and I could not be happier about it. The teachers are…read moreamazing- they all focus on play-based learning, and Positive Discipline practices. There is routine, structure, and an overall embracing/welcoming atmosphere. From Center Time to field trips, I feel at ease knowing my children are in such great hands. The classrooms are spacious and orderly, the infant rooms require shoe covers for cleanliness, and there are different play areas outside that are age appropriate for the different age ranges. If kids get a booboo, parents are notified immediately. VCLC also regularly practices safety drills, such as fire & earthquake, etc, which also gives me peace of mind to know they are always prepared. The care and support the staff gives to the little ones is boundless! Communication is constant, via ClassDojo app, where teachers upload pictures of the kiddos doing different activities like crafts, garden time, or fun events such as Firefighters visiting, or Dave the Magician. Infants also get an app called Tadpoles, where they send pictures throughout the day of the babies doing baby stuff. I love this place and my kids do too!

This is the third time that this woman has had my review removed. So I'll just keep this simple,…read moreshe left my child crying in a crib for over 45 minutes because she said it would hurt her back to lean down and soothe him. She accused me of "lying about sleep training" because he cried on his first day sleeping at her house for a nap. Keep in mind he was about 18 months old and in a very unfamiliar place. She then became angry with me for writing my experiences online and went to my business page and gave my business a negative review. Please be very cautious when choosing childcare providers. My experience with Stephanie is that she's very vengeful and not particularly mature. I will continue to repost this every time you have it taken down. I'm not interested in reading your responses anymore, I already know what they will say.

Her home is always extremely clean, they loved the toys and activities she had, the food she feeds, and as much as I hate to admit it there were even days that they cried when I picked them up early because they were having so much fun and didn't want to leave. Her curriculum was excellent and they learned so much during their time at her childcare. I observed many other home childcare facilities in Camarillo before choosing Stephanie's, and hers was the most impressive by far. Even though my kids are now all in elementary to high school, she still is like family to us and we highly recommend her to anyone looking!!

We are so thankful for the care and attention that the owners (Ms. Robin and Ms. Beth) as well as all of the teachers put into the children. We appreciate how Carousel got to know Zoey as an individual. Over the past 3+ years our daughter has thrived at this school. She is confident and happy. As parents, we are extremely happy with the education she has received and confident that she has been very well prepared for her future.

(Shoutout to Ms Bit, potty training legend) Kiddo just had a kindergarten assessment and they told me she was so well prepared for school- something I can't take credit for. They put on the sweetest Christmas performance every year too which is so above and beyond for a preschool. Additionally they host optional enrichment classes like dance, gymnastics, basketball- super cool. I think I'm going to put our baby on the waitlist a year early to make sure he gets a spot when he turns 2.

Her rates are fair for the service she is providing, she also has a meal plan so I don't have to worry about packing food. I highly recommend this daycare if you are in the Conejo Valley area!
