Ventura County sits just north of our Woodland Hills base along the 101 corridor, and it’s grown into one of our most active service areas outside the San Fernando Valley. From Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley near the county’s eastern edge to Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura, Moorpark, and Ojai further west, we place DOJ Live Scan–screened Instructional, Behavioral Support, and Sensory Support Aides in public, charter, private, and non-public school classrooms throughout the county, and we match families anywhere in Ventura County with the same rigorously vetted aides for continuity of care.
Education Snapshot
Ventura County spans several independent school districts rather than one countywide system: Conejo Valley Unified (Thousand Oaks, roughly 16,000 students across 27 schools), Simi Valley Unified (roughly 15,700 students across 27 schools), and Las Virgenes Unified (Agoura Hills and Calabasas, roughly 9,660 students across 14 schools) each publish their own enrollment and demographic data. See each city’s own page below for district-specific figures.
One Regional Team, County-Wide Reach
Ventura County isn’t a single school district — it’s a mix of unified districts, charter networks, and private and non-public schools spread across a wide geography, from the more built-out eastern communities to the coastal and agricultural communities further west. Rather than treat each community as a separate market, we staff the county as one coordinated territory, so a school in Simi Valley and a family in Oxnard get the same screening standard, the same named point of contact model, and the same 24-hour service center.
Communities we currently serve throughout Ventura County include:
Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura each have their own local page with neighborhood- and district-specific detail; this page is the regional overview for administrators and families who want to understand how we cover Ventura County as a whole. For the neighboring San Fernando Valley communities we also staff out of the same Woodland Hills office, see our San Fernando Valley coverage page. Heading north along the 101, see our Santa Barbara County coverage page.
For Districts Spanning Multiple Ventura County Campuses
SPED coordinators managing campuses across several Ventura County communities face a version of the same problem every large-geography district runs into: a mid-year staffing gap doesn’t wait for a convenient location, and a vendor that only knows one corner of the county can leave a classroom uncovered while a search-and-vet cycle plays out elsewhere. Because we staff the whole county from one office, we can move a screened, trained aide to whichever campus needs coverage — Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard, or anywhere between — without starting that cycle from scratch. See our Mid-Year Staffing Gap Coverage page for how that process works.
For Families Across the County
If you’re a parent searching for an aide for your child’s IEP or 504 plan, it doesn’t matter which Ventura County community your school sits in — the same DOJ Live Scan–vetted aides, the same named single point of contact, and the same Quarterly Performance Review Program apply whether your child attends school in Simi Valley or out toward Ventura. As Laura M., a Blue Horizons SPED teacher, put it: “Blue Horizons provides skilled and knowledgeable instructional aides who genuinely care about our students’ success.” If you’re just getting started, our guide to requesting an aide for your child walks through the process.
Close to Home, County-Wide Reach
Being based in Woodland Hills means our team, our screening files, and our 24-hour service center are a short drive from most of the schools and families we serve across Ventura County — not routed through an out-of-area call center. Whether you’re a district coordinator planning coverage across several county campuses or a parent looking for one qualified aide for one classroom, reach out and we’ll match you with the right person for your specific community.
