We are so fortunate to have found the Kids n' Things Preschool in Simi Valley. From our first phone call with Carol, we knew this was the place for Kai. Carol invited us for a visit/tour to meet the 3's teachers, Miss Elaine and Miss Tammy. We saw where he would play, and learned about their curriculum. Clearly these kiddos learn through play. We could not be more grateful for the patience, the love and the respect they have shown Kai while he learns to be away from Mommy for the first time. They work with him, they sit with him, the talk with him, and they reassure him that his family will pick him up everyday. They are centrally located in the center of Simi Valley, open at 6 am and close at 7 pm to accommodate working families. They are flexible with the days that Kai needs to come which is extraordinarily helpful for Kai's mom, as she works in healthcare and her schedule is always fluid. We are also very pleased with the level of security that is provided. We love the communication between the teachers and mom. The teachers have been so wonderful since day one, even sending pictures of Kai throughout his day, knowing that it would give mom some relief seeing that he is doing okay.It is always hard to leave your little for the first time. We know that Kai is safe, making friends, learning to eat new foods, learning about numbers and letters and that the care he is receiving is everything we could have possibly hoped for. Thank Miss Elaine and Miss Tammy from the bottom of our hearts for all you do for Kai. We are beyond grateful for your loving care. Kai is thriving and becoming more independent because of you both.

Carol, who runs this establishment is great. She truly cares about the kids, and the kids love her too. When my kid had a bad day, she helped watching her to make sure she was no longer upset.The campus feels safe, and I like that there are multiple teachers for each classroom. My kid also loved the playground. Routine was huge for us, so I liked that there was a regular routine the kids had, that was written out so we could follow it as well at home before she started school.Carol is very open to having parents visit anytime and to tour the facility before enrollment.

My twins have been going there for 2 years and the staff is AMAZING. They love your kids like their own, and my kids love the entire staff. The kids have fun parties and come home happy every day. I am so grateful to have found them!

I can't say enough great things about Kids N Things. My two year old has been attending for a month now and I am so happy I sent her here. Carol (the owner) is a DIAMOND. The most caring and sweet woman I have ever met. She really cares about the kids in her facility and the families. Of course it's a business, however I have NEVER felt like Carol runs it like that. She is invested in the kids and the programs that she provides for them. Now the teachers. They are all AMAZING. My two year old comes home chatting about what she did at school, who she played with and how much she loves her teachers - like Miss Jenny, Miss Tammy and Miss Audrey. They treat my kiddo like she's precious and important (which of course she is!). If you are trying to decide where to send your babies, stop and don't look any further. You've found their home away from home.

By far one of the best preschools in Simi Valley. Carol and her staff are the best and are more like family then just teachers. They really do care about each child and are very involved when it comes to helping your child succeed whether it’s potty training,or helping prepare your child for kindergarten. My kids look forward to going to school everyday! I love the security gate at the front, it gives me piece of mind knowing they are safe. Also the big colorful classrooms and the new outdoor playground equipment is great!!! Lots of space to run around. My oldest especially likes all the tricycles they have there to ride around. During the summer the camp there is always packed with activities and field trips to keep your child entertained. After school pick ups are great too! I was super nervous to have someone else pick up my child from school. But carol and her drivers have made our transition so easy. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends! Thanks!

My son has been attending this awesome, loving, amazing school for almost four years. The amazing growth has made his natural child development thrive. My son was a late bloomer in talking. We had him in another school which he was frightened of. We thought he didn’t want us to leave him, he was petrified. When we notice this behavior, we thought maybe changing schools would be best. We moved him to Kids N Things, within a few days he was glad to see us leave. Shortly of my son being there, he had a stored up vocabulary of words that just came out. It wasn’t he didn’t want to talk he was to scared to talk. Kids N Things is not just a school, they become a part of your family.Thank you to Carol and her amazing staff. Five stars isn’t enough, they should have 100+

Every time I walked into Kids 'n Things, I was greeted with the friendliest staff.We evaluated several schools in the area to determine the best fit for our 2 children.At first, we had to ask a ton of questions. Mrs. Carol & her team of teachers could not have been more patient, friendly & accommodating throughout the process. The school is organized & operates so smoothly. We also liked the flexibility in the drop off schedules. We have been very pleased with the care & safety they provided for our 2 children. The kindness of Mrs. Carol & her team of teachers will always be remembered.Mrs. Stella Canestro~
