Venture Christian Academy Preschool is part of the established Los Gatos Christian School campus at 16845 Hicks Rd, serving preschool-age children within a K-12 faith-based environment. Holding CCLD license #434408808 since August 2006, the center accommodates up to 100 children and integrates biblical worldview principles with academic preparation. Operating Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, it serves families seeking a faith-grounded early education program. The center carries one Type A and two Type B citations on record, and the absence of public parent reviews limits external verification of the parent experience; families should note that Christian curriculum may not align with all family values, and limited hours may not meet full-time working-parent schedules.
