(City Center) is Neighborhood for Learning's newest
site serving children ages six weeks to enrollment in kindergarten. The City Center is a joint project of Conejo Valley Neighborhood for Learning (CV NfL), the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and the City of Thousand Oaks. Its purpose is to provide the community with quality childcare and education services for the 0-5 population. Services also include family support and education. Focusing on literacy development, health and nutrition and peaceful families, the goal of Neighborhood for Learning is family strengthening and school readiness.

Philosophy
The staff and administration at Neighborhood City Center know that young children thrive in safe, nurturing, predictable and respectful environments that promote trust. These elements are foundational and at the core of our center's philosophy; a philosophy that fosters a child-centered curriculum and is reflected throughout our educational program which allows children to succeed in school and in life.

Typical Day
Toddlers' activities, just like infants, need to be adapted to individual needs but require a slightly different adaptation to their routine since their biological rhythms are more regular and predictable. As with infants, the primary care providers will keep a visual checklist of daily care and record anecdotes to facilitate communication with parents. Toddlers will be given opportunities to experience sensory activities throughout the day. Many opportunities for gross motor development-indoors and outdoors will be provided and will plan and implement activities that are within the current level of their individual developmental needs.
We will set up the environment with enough material for each child such as large-peg puzzles, small card-board books they can hold in their hand, and large play equipment-such as balls. The environment will be structured to allow ample freedom of movement and allows for self-selection of activities and autonomy. While the times will vary for most of the activities depending on the child’s arrival time and energy level a typical day may be as follows:
- Arrival time: Parent/provider communication will take place
- Diapering (at least every two hours and as needed)
- Feeding: a daily schedule of meal and snack times will be incorporated into a
daily routine (parents will provide major meals; program will provide am and
pm snack).
- Napping/rest time will be offered: 12 pm - 2 pm or when needed to meet
child’s own natural rhythms.
For Toddlers ages 2 1/2 to 3 years, we offer a Young Preschool class to help with the transition into the 3 - 5 year old Preschool class. Visit the City Center Preschool page to learn more about the Young Preschool class.
Food and Snack
We are nut-free childcare center. We maintain a "no sugar/health food" policy. Two daily nutritious snacks from a variety of food groups are provided. Drinks include water and nonfat milk or low-fat (1%) milk for children over the age of two years. If your child is lactose intolerant, we will offer a milk substitute. All snacks are free of refined sugars low-fat, and low sodium. Children are offered different types of new foods, new tastes, new textures and cultural foods. If staying for lunch, parents are responsible to provide lunch for their children on a daily basis and in accordance with the no sugar/healthy food policy. Milk or water will be provided for lunch. Juices or sugary drinks are not allowed in school or any NfL sanctioned activity.
Parent Involvement
We respect that the parent is the child's first teacher and that the staff at the Center is in partnership with the parent(s) in caring for and educating their child. We recognize that the success of a child in school later on is correlated to parents' involvement in their child's education from early on and as such strongly recommend. Please know that you are welcome at the Center at any time and are requested to volunteer a minimum of 1.5 hours per month.
Registration
Admission to the Neighborhood City Center shall be granted without discrimination with regard to religion, race, color or socio-economic status. The Neighborhood City Center will make every attempt to meet the special needs of a child as long as the goals of the program and the needs of the other students are not compromised.
After initial parent tour and interview, wherin the child's development/needs are discussed, and enrollment process is complete, the child will be placed in a group according to age and particular needs of the child in accordance with Title 22.
