The teachers are all great - my kids had Mrs. Flores who is just a dream in every single way. Mrs Varela and Mrs. Washington were both amazing as well! I can't say enough great things about this preschool (I can't believe there even have one negative review) - They'll always hold a very special place in our hearts.

And I feel it's my duty to put it out there because a lot of parents I have spoken to that have children at this school are unaware. I'm sorry but that is just not right! I had to pull my daughter out immediately. Not only was the bathroom situation ridiculous the faculty was distant and rude. I want to know who is teaching my child. I want to feel that they care for my child. If I'm treated that way, how is my child being treated. I approached the director regarding the bathroom situation and she said unless they won the lotto the children will have to use the same bathroom. But there will always be supervision. REALLY?!?! Smh!!!!! What other school allows this?!?!?

...This post is addressed to all affiliated with Santa Clara Elementary School...As of Monday…read more2-2-15 Antonio my son was pulled out of class and sent home due to non-payment of tuition. This is not the first time in the past few months they have done this to Antonio. The reason why he goes there in the first place is cause my parents agreed to pay for it, and that's been the fact for the last 9 years. Yes Antonio has been going there since kindergarten. Last year they stopped paying it and kept putting it off without my knowledge probably cause they didn't want to bother me with it or for whatever reason. The last pastor worked with my parents to keep him in school last year but as every month went by I Antonio's legal father was not notified until a few months ago. Not by certified letter or a meeting or even by pulling me aside at any morning I drop him off! But my notification was a phone call telling me to come pick up my son we can no longer provide services to him. I explained my side of the story and asked why I was never notified of this a year ago and that I'll be taking over all payments if my parents aren't paying it anymore cause I need to keep in school. I explained I can afford tuition but all the past due I'm going to have to wait until my clients pay me to pay it off. I made payments the last few months as much as I could and told them I'm still waiting on a few big checks from insurance jobs I've finished. On Tuesday I had a meeting with The Father and Principal to arrange a payment schedule to keep him in school after them pulling him out of class for the third time. I offered to pay off last years balance that day and pay regular tuition rates every month until my checks come in and then I'll pay the balance in full. After a short talk amongst themselves My offer was refused and they told me Antonio is no longer able to attend Santa Clara Elementary School. Let me do some math now, about 400 a month for the last 9 years minus the months off for break plus fee's comes to somewhere around $36,000+ Santa Clara Elementary has made off us. Now at the last four months before Antonio graduates from 8th grade they decide to kick him out? Wow, Just Wow....I'm still processing it all and trying to look at the good from this situation, like I said, I'm trying...My Money is good, I just don't get paid like a normal job, most of my clients are on a billing system and insurance jobs take even longer to pay....I don't know, I'm just real disappointed by this whole thing...But I'm not the real loser in this whole matter, Antonio my son is....

My review is WAY overdue. We've been with Tutorific since December of 2019 and today is May 1st,…read more2025. Our kids start Tutorific at age 4 and continue until they begin 1st grade. There is no magic time, it's what we have decided is right for our kids. We utilize the reading program. Our oldest son, Evan ultimately worked on math too. He was in kindergarten via Zoom and struggled a bit. His tutor, Will started helping with the math and then all was good!!! Evan is currently in 4th grade. Our oldest daughter, Grace loved coming and playing the games with Matt. Playing games is one of many ways Tutorific teaches kids. She still asks me to play the reading games with her from time to time. Grace currently in 1st grade. Our 4.5 year old, Joey reads with the owner, Matt twice a week. He's in preschool and can easily sound out 6 letter words. Joey reads over 400 words by sight. Tutorific has a reward system in place. You reach certain milestones and go to the "PRIZE WALL!" Joey adores the prize wall. A reward system really helps Joey stay on track. It's amazing having kids that can read at such a young age. Our baby, Olivia can be found playing with toys and running around the Tutorific lobby twice a week while big brother, Joey is strengthening his reading skills. She'll start in a few years! I took screenshots of facebook posts my wife or I have posted over the years. I have so many wonderful things to say, I don't know what to write. I decided sharing our personal posts written for our family and friends would give you the best bird's eye view of how much we love Tutorific. We are moms who have feel like Tutorific is more than a place to help kids with homework. They have helped our kids learn to read but more importantly they helped our kids LOVE reading. A gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime. Matt and his staff are absolutely amazing.

I left this school after my son attended K-3. They definitely have a principal that is rude to…read moreparents, as stated below. They also have an unfriendly vibe overall and, as stated, the principal comes off as uncaring in many areas yet overzealous with unfounded reprimands. I have never experienced a school with so many issues with infighting amongst the students - including bullying. We gave it our best "go" and they do have engaged, dedicated teachers and staff, but the problems are at the top. The last straw was spring 2019 when a 1st grade parent (and the husband of a Portola teacher) approached my child and his friend over his own child's lost football. He interrogated them, preventing them from getting on their after-care bus; boarded the bus to further interrogate the boys and, after being removed from the bus, followed the bus in his own car to the childcare facility (while filming it out the window with his cell phone) where he entered the childcare facility (totally against their protocol) and was finally prevented from his maniacal stalking escapade when the childcare director intervened. The experience was reported to the principal by the childcare director and myself and was handled ineptly and sans empathy. No one at the school or district level could tell me the student safety policy - I had to dig for it online. I took it next level (Superintendent) but was not heard. In the end, no one was able to tell me why my child was able to be verbally accosted for over 15 minutes - why the poor childcare bus driver had to act alone without school support staff - with a bus-load of children - and why this parent -- who is constantly on school property due to his own job and spouse-affiliation was never asked to sit with the boys and apologize or tell them they are safe and that THEY did the right thing (told the truth- that they did not have his son's football/which was later found) even though HE did not do right by them, or the other children or the young driver who was visibly shaken by the incident. The only person that DID react with professionalism, accurate sensitivity and safety protocol was the childcare director. I wonder if that 1st grade parent knows this director had to call an immediate safety meeting amongst her staff and afterward, a "stranger-danger" meeting with every child under her care that day? Shame on him, shame on the Portola principal and shame on the VUSD staff and management that wouldn't return my calls and couldn't answer basic safety questions about their school. It took them TWO months to call a meeting with me. Happily, we found a new school that has a warm, safe environment and professional, capable- seeming principal and staff-- so far so good!

If I had a kid, I would definitely not mind having my kid go here for K through 5th. Instead of chicken wire fences back in my day, new Pleasant Valley schools have thick black bars that look tamer but are much more effective to keep away the bad and keep the kids safe and corraled. Maybe I can eventually mosey my way over here to Village at the Park in Camarillo as a possible future settling. It's such a nice newer development with this school, a Y, and a good amount of open space to keep yourself sane. But this review's about the school, and this school is gorgeous. Smart kids too.
