Our Lady of Guadalupe Preschool is a CCLD-licensed preschool at 530 N. Juanita Ave in Oxnard, CA, serving children ages 3-5 with a bilingual Spanish-English dual language immersion program. Licensed continuously since 1999 with a recent inspection in May 2026, the center provides faith-based Catholic education and feeds into Our Lady of Guadalupe's acclaimed elementary dual-language pipeline, an asset in Oxnard's linguistically diverse community. With a small capacity of 24 children and extended hours (7:55 am–6:00 pm), it offers a nurturing environment with music and STEM activities; however, prospective families should be aware the center has no infant program and carries four Type B citations from recent inspections—details worth reviewing directly through CCLD records.
