I love Ladera because it has that sense of family unity. It also teaches all the kids in school about children of special needs without them ever feeling that the kids are different. They are ALL treated with respect and dignity! My oldest daughter grew up with a friend with Autism and they are good friends. It's something my daughter will carry with her for the rest of her life! My daughter learned early in life that all people were the same but some were and will always be special. Ladera elementary will always be the best to me and my family.
We love Ladera because it's a community where everyone-parents, teachers, staff and students- looks out for one another. That's something worth noting!

Ladera has an amazing program for kids with autism, it teaches tolerance as well as provides full inclusion when its best for the child. This school along with the choral teacher changed my daughters life.

My child left another local Thousand Oaks elementary school and we have not looked back. This school is especially welcoming to special needs kids, unlike some other schools within the Conejo District. The regular ed children at this school have been taught patience and understanding of the special needs kids present at this school and the teachers are beyond kind and compassionate. Because we are so happy with this particular school and this district offers 'school choice', we will consider sending our other child here over the other elementary schools within the district. Ladera is a welcoming, kind respectful school to parents and the office staff is top notch. As a proponent of homeschooling, Ladera is so great that we are considering enrollment rather than homeschooling and that says a lot!
