What our Parents are saying

  • "Our family had an incredible experience at la Famiglia. I personally loved the small classes, large interactive classrooms, and amazing teachers. My daughter attended La Famiglia for two years and the social and emotional growth was huge for all the students in her class. I appreciated the co-curricular environment at the school. All learning was hands-on and project-based (with cleaning up!)--a perfect foundation for encouraging resilient kids. We had looked at a lot of preschools before choosing La Famiglia, and I'm so glad we did. I remain grateful to the school!"

  • “La Famiglia Preschool is a hidden gem! The small class sizes, and kind teachers create a warmth that makes the school feel more like a family. We are now on our third child attending La Famiglia and feel so grateful to have found such a nurturing and creative atmosphere for our children to learn and grow.”

    Erindira Pimentel

  • “La Famiglia was an incredible experience for our family. We had just moved to Ventura and enrolled our daughter for her last year of preschool in the Regazzi class with Mrs Huber. Though it was short and sweet, our experience will be fondly remembered forever. The teachers are incredibly kind and creative, the cirriculum is developmentally appropriate and very play-based. La Famiglia is more than just a preschool, its a community of like-minded people that all strive to nurture and support children in the best way, during their formative years.”

    Jenny Jacobs

  • Our daughter was shy and sensitive, but now she happily asks any friend to play. We could not have asked for a more supportive and loving atmosphere. Thank you for helping our baby girl grow into a brave little girl!”

  • “La Famiglia Preschool provided everything we had hoped for at this stage in our daughters life. It is run by a wonderful group of women who are nurturing and whole heartedly present for each child there. We were very much drawn to their Reggio Emilia approach to learning, which focuses on letting your child learn through play. The years spent at La Famiglia will always remain close to our hearts.”
