Our Redeemer Preschool is a faith-based, CCLD-licensed center on Doris Avenue in Oxnard serving children ages preschool and up, operated by the Lutheran church since 1950—making it Ventura County's oldest continuously licensed preschool. The facility has a strong local reputation, with a 94% recommendation rate from 15 community reviews and nostalgic praise from former students, and operates at full capacity (84 children) with a play-based curriculum emphasizing academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development. The center welcomes all children regardless of religious background and maintains active CCLD inspection oversight. Parents should verify current compliance status given two Type B citations on record (2021–2022), and families seeking infant care should note that the center does not serve that age group.
