Hi there! I’m Kelly, the owner and lead teacher here at Buttercups Daycare & Playschool. My journey in childcare began over 25 years ago, and my passion for nurturing little ones has only grown since. My experience spans everything from serving as a professional nanny and newborn care specialist to teaching Kindergarten Torah School.
I believe in a "best of all worlds" approach to learning. By blending proven theories like Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia, I’m able to tailor my teaching to fit each child’s unique personality and needs.
I’m so proud of our dedicated team, who make Buttercups feel like a second home:
Michaela – A vital part of our family for 6 years.
Monica – Bringing warmth and care for 5 years.
Haley – Our wonderful team member for the past year and a half.
This place is ran by 3 of the most caring people. My childen always feel loved and safe. Great with babies, too. Will hold them tons and they do good diaper changes. No rash ever on my 2 kids.
Kelly is a kind, knowledgeable, and loving care provider. Her home is a warm, welcoming, enriching space for children to learn, explore, and thrive in. She is a responsive and respectful caregiver and always goes above and beyond to make sure every child’s unique needs are met....Read more
My kids love going here. They play, they learn, and they come home happy and safe😊. What more could you ask for? I would recommend to anyone looking for a daycare.
A Loving Home for Early Learning 🏠
Our home-based daycare and preschool is tucked away in the heart of the family-friendly Riverpark neighborhood in Oxnard. We’ve designed our space to be a stimulating yet cozy "home away from home" where creativity and learning come naturally.
We know how busy life can get, so we aim to make things as simple as possible—we include everything except diapers in our tuition! Plus, we are just a short walk from local parks and only a few blocks from freeway access, making drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze.
