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. Toddler and preschool programs provided emphasize active, hands-on learning. The Center also serves as a preschool laboratory for college students studying Child Development. The Center serves VC student, faculty and staff families, as well as families from the nearby community. A new waiting list begins each semester as the Ventura College campus schedule is released. Classrooms fill quickly; you are encouraged to get on the waiting list as soon as possible. Call (805) 289-6030 for a brochure or to set up a tour appointment with the director.
