I currently have a 2.5 year old and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for preschool in the area? Pros/cons and general experience or insight with any providers would be immensely helpful. I am also open to suggestions outside of Simi but not further than 20-30 minutes drive. Thank you.

Hi everyone!
I'm not from Simi Valley, but a coworker is. They are not super versed in technology or anything, but they need to change their internet plan as their connection is currently not strong enough for working from home, and I thought I could give them some recommendations.
What are your recommendations for a stable connection from home in Simi Valley? They say fiber optic is not available in their region but I'm not sure if that's actually their neighborhood OR their current internet provider.
Perhaps they should try something satelite like Starlink?
Any recommendations are welcome. We need something they can use for zoom, streaming, recording video calls, podcasts, etc. Ideally a company that will install a router that they can after connect their computers via Ethernet as well, and not have Wi-Fi as the only option.
Thanks.
Anyone think thereāll be a point that housing will be affordable again here?
My entire neighborhood is getting it done and I live on a hill. They shut down one side of the road so everyone moves to the other side. Now I canāt park anywhere near my house because itās full of cars. So I had to park like 4 streets over and walk up the hill. Why canāt they just do one at a time. Iām disabled so walking up the hills messes me up.
Ive been wanting to braid my hair and I can't find a beauty supply store if anyones knows a good one in Simi pls lmk
Simi is weirdly infamous in VC as trump town, while the parades don't help I've notice this sub leans pretty heavily left. With out starting a fight where do you stand politically ?
Hello everyone!
I am a Corpsmember with the Watersheds Stewards Program, and I am partnering with Channel Islands Restoration and Friends of the Santa Clara River to host a volunteer event aiming to improve habitat quality for the federally threatened Southern Steelhead Trout. The event is on April 28th, 2024, from 8:30am-12:30pm on the Sespe Cienega Nature Trail at the Fillmore Fish Hatchery, in Fillmore, CA.Ā
I am seeking volunteers for the event as this will be a great way to learn about the environment, give back to the community, and celebrate Earth Day! The event will include an educational component regarding ethnobotany and native species in local watersheds. There will also be snacks and a raffle for an REI gift card.
More information is available using the QR code on the flyer or this link https://forms.gle/oVaz49orfRLb7yC59 and I am happy to answer any questions. Thanks redditors!

Hey I'm doing Uber eats for some side money any one in town that can give a few tips or maybe recommend some busy spots or some good timings? I just signed up today, looking forward to work this weekend.
Slice house is meh.... Just not seeing the appeal. It's packed but it's Simi Valley. Give it 6 months and it will completely die out. The pizza's are extremely expensive but the slices themselves aren't too pricey. Toppers or Round table destroy this place. Very greasy Great crispy crustvthough Rest is no big deal... Full size pizzas should not cost $40. Also, full rings of pineapple on BBQ chicken pizza. Good Lord chill with the pineapple. Who the F puts pineapple on BBQ chicken pizza?? Ok place to hang I guess... Read the small print people. This place puts ingredients you would not expect...
Good afternoon everyone my name is Geovanny Bautista.I an in search of a local,good paying job in Simi or near by areas. I only have a short time with my license,but experienced in hauling, deliveries and so on.
Looking for a park that might have a roundabout like this?
The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center is hosting the Simi Valley Art Association's Spring Art Exhibit, Bridges: Art & Community going on now and until June 2nd. The Artist Reception is Thursday, April 18th from 5-7 pm.
I am currently living in Simi Valley near Madera and Los Angeles Ave. I see that there are better-sized apartments for the price at River Ranch Apartments on Patricia. I went and saw the complex and it seemed nice.
I'm reading online and some reviews of the place say that there is a lot of gang and drug activity in the complex and on Patricia in general. Is it that bad on that street and in that complex? Has anyone lived on Patricia or in those apartments?
Just found out we're pregnant. Where are new moms considering delivering? I think Los Robles or UCLA West Hills are closest, unless you are Kaiser, which is not option for me. Any stories/experiences from either?
My husband works as a nurse at Los Robles (not L&D) and his working experience is not great, constantly out of ratio, no breaks, which makes me nervous for the labor experience. I think Simi OBGYN only works with that hospital though.
Edit: West Hills also closed their L&D. Sorry my first baby delivered in 2019, a lot has changed in 5 years apparently... guess Los Robles kind of the only option now.
The Simi Valley Art Association open Reception and Award Ceremony is today from 2-4 pm at the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District Activity Center located at 4201 Guardian Street, Simi Valley. There will be light refreshments. š©āšØšØš·š¼ļøš
Hey Everyone. A SFV neighbor here.
I have a few questions. Does anyone use the bus system and the Metrolink / Amtrak Train station?
And if you had the power to change the location. Where? (In my case as near from "the hat" the better)
I know Simi valley is mostly car Centric, but I'm wondering if actually anyone uses the bus system and the train station and what would change too.
Please somebody help. Iāve tried all these Mexican spots here in Simi and they are mostly sub-par or straight up garbage. Are there any taco trucks or really low key authentic places that have really EXCELLENT tacos/burritos. PLEASE GOD SOMEONE HELP. I thought el hurache was bad. Yolandaās is mostly garbage. 805 tacos is passable. Tried a couple other spots but was blown away.
Edit- THANK YOU GOOD PEOPLE OF SIMI. Zarape and fast n fresh and Elviraās all look interesting I will check those out. El Hurache I tried 2xā¦itās really not excellent Mexican foodā¦unless I just went there on a bad day Yolandaāsā¦nah thatās a pass for me. I will check out the others as well.
Edit 2 - REALLY liked Luna Llena. Tried the Al pastor burrito and I thought it was solid. First time Iāve had Al pastor in simi that I felt was legit. Thank you everybody and especially to those suggesting Luna!
I have found a wonderful Hairdresser for haircuts. However, when I told her I want to get a spiral perm she said that she doesn't feel confident doing one for me, since she hasn't done a perm since cosmetology school. I totally appreciate the honesty. Unfortunately, she doesn't know anyone she can recommend.
Perms aren't that common so trying to search Google maps or yelp just gives me salon results with few if any reviews for perms.
So, lovely Simi Valley redditors, do you know anyone local who does good perms?
TIA
It reminds me of a hamburger.
