Magic Carousel Preschool & Academy

I’m truly beyond impressed with the level of care that is provided at Magic Carousel! My son was having an extremely hard day with not feeling well… just straight up in pain with teething and a mild ear infection. When I arrived to pick up my munchkin, he was sleeping peacefully in his teachers arms while she walked around with him.
She proceeded to tell me that they could tell his teething was causing him significant pain, he had a low grade fever, wasn’t really hungry, and just not himself. They gave him teething tablets and infant Tylenol (pre-​approved by us and documented) and did everything they could to soothe him including holding him for the last hour and half as the other friends were being picked up to go home.
The fact that my kid wasn’t just left to cry or ignored, but instead was gently taken care of, held and soothed for as long as he was, just reaffirms how amazing the staff at this preschool is!
Love, love, love Miss Dee and Miss Gina! I cannot even express how much peace of mind we have leaving our son in the care of the staff at Magic Carousel.
This really is the best daycare in Ventura!

I have utilized Magic Carousel as my daycare since October 2010. Marcella is a fabulous director, the staff is wonderful, and the environment very conducive to learning. My children are very happy and are learning something new everyday at Magic Carousel. I couldn’t ask for anything more! If you are looking for a superior daycare in the Ventura area — Magic Carousel is it!!!

My wife and I brought our baby fraternal twins to Magic Carousel for full time care. Marcella personally made the transition possible — for we were naturally very fearful of leaving them to continue the work force. It’s now been 18 months at Magic Carousel and thier development has been remarkable. They’re loved and cared for at a level that is special. The entire staff is very nice and have played an important role from each step of our baby to toddler advancement.
We trust and appreciate the quality of care provided our precious ones by Magic Carousel led by the hands on approach of Marcella.

Great school!!! Marcella is very thorough with information so the parents stay fully informed and kids don’t miss out on special days/​events. She gives out a very informative handbook so you are very clear on rules and policy. It does get a little stuffy in there by late afternoon (as they take diaper toddlers) and I wish the play area had grass (all that soft foam blacktop stuff)… But that’s the compromise you make for the top notch security. The front door is most secure w a code only parents get and the play area is very enclosed n secure. Your kid won’t run off and get lost here. She has many helpers who are warm and friendly and they all seem to hold safety and school preparedness in high regard

This is an awesome preschool! My son started in Nov 2012 and I couldn’t be more impressed. I really like that you not only get professionalism from the staff, but there is a strong sense of ‘family’ as well. We’ve never felt like our son was just another «head» in the classroom. The staff and teachers treat each child as the individuals they are, encouraging each child’s growth at their own pace. If you’re looking for a preschool, I highly recommend you check Magic Carousel out. Meet Marcella and her wonderful staff of teachers & helpers and see for yourself.
