Our family absolutely loves Phoenix Ranch. We recently moved out of the area and are looking for a new school and nothing compares. The facilities (beautiful shaded playground, fun classrooms and swimming pool!), welcoming and caring staff and teachers, and enrichment programs (Spanish, physical education, music) were all such a blessing.My daughter started when she was 3.5 with Mrs. Silva and Ms. Riley. My daughter typically has a hard time with new environments but got comfortable with the school right away - she only cried at her first drop off and never again. She ended the year with so many friends and great relationship with her teachers - especially Ms. Riley. She also learned all her letters and numbers.This year, she has been in the pre-K program with Ms. Adele and Mrs. Zangri. It has been a great year so far with learning math, science and sparkle words!My son started in the infant room a year ago with Ms. Alexa and Mrs. Taiko. In the fall, he moved to the toddler room with Mrs. Claudia, Mrs. Ana and Ms. Krysten. All the teachers are so loving and I can tell how my son has bonded with them. I especially loved all the work the teachers put into the open house and other family activities like the Halloween parade, grandparents day, and holiday performance. They create a great sense of community by involving the parents in so much of what goes on at the school.I would highly highly recommend this daycare/pre-school to any family that is close enough. We commuted from Chatsworth and it was totally worth it!

Awesome school with caring teachers and front office staff. The campus counselors know all the kids by name and connect with them on a personal level. I feel extremely safe dropping my son each morning. Highly recommend PR if you are looking for the best school in Simi Valley.

Loved working here. It's a great camp that truly looks out for each individual child.

My daughter absolutely loves the preschool here. After taking her to two others this one she has adjusted to very well. The teachers are exceptional and Vicky who runs the show is a sweetheart. You'll have to call and schedule a tour and that may not be the easiest because they are busy taking care of the kiddos which is what you want, but stay persistent and it will be worth your time. Tuition isn't cheap but just as much as the corporate daycares down the street, but so much more fulfilling. Snow day and holiday performances was amazing! The number and quality of playgrounds, music room, swimming pools, etc won't be matched anywhere around Simi. Thank you for taking great care of our little one. She runs to daycare now to play with her friends. She is 27 months and started 3 months ago.

I called this school 5x times in within the last week or so just to ask about tuition. The Director Vicky promised me an email for tuition information and never sent it its been 4-5 business days. I called again and left voicemail and no one has called back. This is extremely unprofessional for a school to ignore voicemail and speaks volumes of their respect for others.It is the Directors Job to help the public in regards to tuition information. Plus I'm sure this is not an inexpensive school just horrible bad first experience. I've waited and given them a chance to call and they clearly just don't care.I'd hope the owners would care about how the school is operated.

Great staff, great school. My daughter loves everything about this school. I went to school here when it was still Pinecrest as a child, so it's kind of nostalgic for me. My only reason to drop to three stars is this is a pvt school and we pay top dollar for our children to attend Phoenix Ranch. They started out not requiring young 4 and 5 year olds wearing a mask all day in class. After the new tuition and signing up for a new year they decided to spring last min that Kindergartners 4 and 5 years old would be wearing a mask for close to 7 hours a day. Gonna watch for a few weeks to see if anything changes, but we might be forced to seek a new school unfortunately for health concerns for my child.

My oldest and youngest have attended here since they were both 3. Best decision ever. Great teachers! Great education. They’re learning so much more than I expected!
