Reviews of Pleasant Valley Co-Op Preschool
"We were late to start the coop this year 2023. We have now been there around 6 months and it is exactly what we were looking for! As a mom I get to participate in my child’s early education. There are parent “jobs” and volunteer hours. It’s definitely a time commitment. I’m lucky to have the opportunity to stay home with my kids while they are little. My son is an August baby and with the new TK laws he won’t be able to go. The coop offers a substitution for TK, it’s called pre K. I love that the coop focuses on positive play based things for the kids. They get to socialize and be part of an awesome community."
"My daughter attended the Co-op for 4 years. Starting at the toddler program and moving her way up to pre-k. I starting the school knowing it requires parent involvement and was super excited to be part of my daughter learning experience. The teachers were always so helpful to make sure I knew exactly what my roles and responsibilities were. I loved the way teachers spoke to children always with a gentle approach. Tricky emotions were handle with ease and I learned so much about speaking to children so children would listen. Activities were both fun and educational because children learn best through play. They allowed for a lot of outdoor play which I loved. Snack time was great because everyone took turns bringing in their favorite healthy snacks and my daughter had dietary restrictions and everyone was always so accommodating in making sure there was foods she could eat so she didn’t feel left out. We were at the co-op during Covid 2020 and the teachers went out of their way to come visit each child at their home to do homeschooling classes so we didn’t miss out on the fun. They always made sure to take proper precautions so everyone stayed safe. After returning to school after Covid they always informed families of Covid exposures and would restrict classes until it was safe. I knew the staff always had everyone’s best interest at heart. This school will forever be my favorite place and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone who asks. Myself and my daughter have made so many great memories and friends at the Co-Op . If I could give it a 10 star I would."
"I am so grateful that both of our kids went through the PV Co-op! The teachers truly understand young children and their needs, and the curriculum is current, compassionate, evidence-based, connected to the community, and child-centered. Both of our kids were loved and nurtured for who they were, and came out of the Co-op ready for Kindergarten, not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Our youngest and several Co-op friends went to a pre-K summer camp and the instructor kept commenting on how well the Co-op were faring, and how they got along with each other as well as the kids they didn’t know. We, as parents, also learned so much about parenting from both the teachers and the community of other parents. We ❤️ the PV Co-op!"
"This is the school setting I wish I had found for my oldest child, but didn't exist where we were living at the time. Last year we moved to Camarillo and I was thrilled to find the CoOp for my younger daughter. It's a school unlike any other I've seen. The CoOp is a true work of love by the teachers and the parents. It's about teaching our children to be kind, helpful, and conscientious beings while still learning fundamentals like the ABC/123s, colors, etc. We as parents benefit from watching the teachers in action, learning how to better approach the difficult moments our kids face (learning to take turns, cleaning up toys, asking for what they want productively, etc). My daughter loves her school, her teacher and her friends, and especially loves when I'm a teacher-mommy in the classroom. I can't imagine a better way to spend these years with her before she goes of to elementary school."
"I have met a lifelong friend by having my children attend this school (hence 2 stars instead of just one) so I can't say its a total loss, but this past year was not positive and I hope those looking to attend remain aware. When you attend it is required that you have a job within the school. I was approached with a specific job but I work part time, so my first question was in regards to the time commitment. I was given a very vague description of the job and the actual time needed to be invested. To sum, the job I had ended up being WAY over my head. There was much dissatisfaction with my job performance (i thought I was doing all I could, the director and president did not) that I ended up quitting the position and taking on another job. For that time in between there was an awkward vibe when attending school with my child and "chatter" surrounding myself. If there was any issues with my performance this should have been brought to me and not discussed among others. Not professional and I found the year to be riddled with gossip and tension. It's not an environment that I felt was healthy for myself or my kids. I must also add that I was approached near the end of the year to explain my side of the story in regards to talk that I was trying to "take down" our director. Sounds just as ridiculous now as it did then and It was an absurd accusation that was fabricated by someone who was looking to start trouble for myself and another mother. Why? your guess is as good as mine. This same women verbally assaulted another mother in front of several others and created a very inappropriate scene with obscenities in front of the children. I add this because in all of its absurdities you've just read about, the end point is that it was drama that shouldn't be part of a PRESCHOOL. I felt the year was less focused on the kids and more focused on the revamping of the backyard, gossip and drama. The year was filled with inappropriate behaviors and a lack of true focus for the kids, which left feelings of disappointment and uneasiness. With all of the issues surrounding the year, I decided the Co Op was not in mine or my child's best interest. I must also include an incidence of scabies, which spread, and was failed to be communicate to parents properly. And an incidence of pesticide spraying while the children were outside. I left on my very own terms and ultimately, I am at peace with my decision to leave and take my kids into an environment where my kids and myself feel welcomed and comfortable. My opinion and experiences isn't the end all be all but its another side to the school that I feel others should be aware of. Our year wasn't a total loss but I couldn't recommend this school to any of our friends or family because of the behaviors I witnessed first hand."
