Las Posas Children’s Center, Inc. operates school aged childcare centers on six campuses in Ventura Unified School District. The program provides care during Fall and Spring break, In-Service days and on most school holidays, and offers a Summer Day Camp for K–8th graders. Las Posas Children’s Center opened in June 1985, and the founders were Robert (Bob) Alfino and Cheryl Reeder.
According to its mission statement, Las Posas Children’s Center was founded, and exists today, to support families in raising their children with high moral values and strong character. The mission statement describes a child-centered approach that includes structured and unstructured recreational activities in a safe and nurturing environment, encourages responsibility, self-discipline, and good citizenship, and states a desire that each child feel accepted, stimulated, secure, happy, and loved.
The LPCC Summer Day Camp became accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) in 2003, and it was the first in the city of Ventura to receive this accreditation. Las Posas Children’s Center has been voted “Best Childcare” in Ventura County for twelve consecutive years in the VC Reporter.
