My daughter improved her writing and can read three letter words, she has a lot of fun art works and crafts, counting, addition, subtraction, science and outdoor playtime.

I wanted to take a moment and rave about Little Scholars Montessori on Las Posas in Camarillo! We…read morerelocated from Los Angeles three months ago while eight months pregnant and with a toddler. Before our move we didn't have our toddler in any day care and she was only with Grandparents for childcare. It was a scary proposition to trust her care and safety to someone outside of our family, but given my "delicate condition" and the stress associated with the move and the big life transition(s), preschool seem like the only logical option. I spent hours researching different options in the Camarillo area and was guided to Little Scholar Montessori.. After taking a tour of their new and facility I was impressed with their structure, cleanliness and kindness of the staff. I trusted that my daughter was going to be in good hands and she has been. My husband and I have been informally introducing our daughter to the days of the week and she hasn't really picked it up (like she has colors and other things, but she's two and that's okay), and a few weeks ago she was singing some song where she was saying the days of the week in order! I asked her where she learned that song and she said, "School!" and rolled her eyes at me. I've heard from other Moms that it's sometimes a struggle to get their kids out the door to daycare and honestly speaking, our daughter is excited to go to school and misses it, the two days during the week she isn't there. If it wasn't cost prohibited, she would have been there five days a week! I believe that there is only so much you can give your kids and that at some point, they need to be socialized and learn from teachers and peers. I've seen so much growth from my daughter in the last three months that wouldn't have been possible with her solely in my care (not to mention, I'd be a lot less sane managing my newborn and toddler 24-7) At the end of the month we are starting daycare at another place which is walking distance from home. I'm looking forward to meeting neighbors and their kids, but it's with a heavy heart that we are leaving Little Scholars, we really loved it there. I wanted to share with others what a positive experience we have had there so if anyone is looking for no hassle childcare in a clean facility, with a balanced curriculum that your kid will be stoked about, check out what they have to offer. You won't be disappointed.

Sure it's cute to see little Christmas concerts, school pictures, and a graduation, but I thought there would be more teaching involved. I'm not sure why this place is called "little scholars."

I'm glad I noticed he hadn't learned much and was able to work with him before kindergarten to essentially teach him what he should've been taught at this so called "pre-school."

From the first time we visited, one of the things that stood out to us was how friendly and well-behaved all the children were. They were genuinely excited to have our daughter join and I remember thinking "they must be doing something right if all these kids are so sweet and well-behaved!" The communication has been great, they let us know if anything happens throughout the day and regularly share photos and updates about the kids activities and curriculum. We especially love how much they spend time outdoors. They even grow their own fruits and vegetables, giving the kids a chance to learn about them and enjoy what they grow. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves it. She adores the staff, has become great friends with the other kids, and her social skills (and vocabulary) have improved so much since she's started. Stephanie and team have helped us navigate so many milestones and always provide advice on how we can keep supporting her at home. It gives us peace and mind knowing she's somewhere she feels happy, comfortable and cared for.

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.

The center is owned by Veronica Patriz, who says she has been directly involved with children for 18 years. At Patriz Childcare, "We provide quality childcare services and educational development activities," Veronica explained, adding, "We support children in self-help skills and so much more!" She is credentialed in Early Childhood Education, and is certified in CPR and First Aid. The center is also state-licensed. The children's areas in the center are amazing! In addition to a large playroom, there is a book-filled library, an art area, an area for burgeoning writers, and an area where kids can build a castle, a battleship or a hospital--all with blocks! Matt M's son attended Patriz Childcare when he was a bit younger. "We both loved it," Matt said. "My son loved it so much he wouldn't want to leave at pickup time!" Taylor W. agreed with Matt's opinion that Patriz Childcare is a very special place, owned by a very special woman. "Veronica Patriz is one of the best caregivers I have ever known or worked with," Taylor said with enthusiasm. "I am so grateful that I was able to work with her and learn so many valuable lessons to take with me in the future!" I have to admit, I envy the children who get to go to Patriz Childcare! If I ask nicely, do you think Veronica would let me attend the center for just a little while? Probably not. I can visit, though! So can you! Come join the fun at Patriz Childcare, 538 Gill Avenue, Port Hueneme. See you there! Bon Appetit!

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.
