Child Development Center

At Ventura College, quality child care is always an option. Toddler and preschool programs are available for children ages 2 years through pre-K.

The Orfalea Child Development Center, Ventura College is located on campus at the corner of Telegraph Road and West Campus Way. Developmental toddler and preschool programs are provided. The Center also serves as a preschool laboratory for college students studying Child Development. The center is open to the public, but students are entitled to priority enrollment. A new waiting list begins each semester as the Ventura College campus schedule comes out. Slots fill fast. You are encouraged to get on the waiting list as soon as possible. Brochures are available at the Center or call (805) 289-6030.

Assistance in paying child care fees is available to student parents who qualify. Visit the Center or e-mail the director at rdouglas@vcccd.edu.
