It's so funny leaving this review 20 years later. I went to CU from PreK-1st grade. It's a part of my childhood I hold onto fondly. I was a student when the giant treehouse was built. I don't want to be a teacher but if I were I'd want to be like the ones who shaped my time here. It makes me tear up thinking about all I experienced from meeting famous authors, starring in musicals, tipping in my Halloween costume on the yellow brick road, and that one time I refused to color in my connect the dots assignments and it was sent home with a note (my mom later framed it). Arlington is already diverse but it was good to see all the different backgrounds my friends were. If you're wondering if your kids will value going here, I am certain they will remember it fondly as CU fostered my love for reading, adventure, and friendship. read more

We made the tough decision to transfer our daughter to Children's University to be closer to home. I couldn't be happier with the decision. The greatest compliment has been my child saying about her old school, "I'm not returning because I love CU." (Talk about music to our ears when she said that.) CU is a warm, family-oriented environment that caters to the individual child. It provides the academic rigor vital for us, along with a host of enrichment opportunities from robotics and animal husbandry to chess and cheer. During our exploration, what sealed the deal was what we witnessed during our CU tour. We passed a group of children (who appeared close in age to my child) working on a group project in the library. They were discussing their different perspectives and had books that they were referencing. While we knew nothing about the project, I was impressed by how immersed they were in the work, and all appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the educational experience. So many vital skills were underway without them knowing it, which filled us with optimism about our child's future development at CU. Our family couldn't be happier to be part of the CU family. Our daughter is thriving; she has the best, most wonderful teacher. It's a true partnership, and we're beyond grateful. If you're looking for a program for your child, I recommend CU. It's a blend of academic excellence with a curriculum that challenges and inspires, enveloped in the most attentive environment dedicated to helping your child reach their fullest potential. read more

My child went here for three years. It's a good school. The tuition was about $10,000 a year. My only complaint about the place were the lunches. Being a private school and not having to follow a school district menu I expected the lunches to be better. The day I visited and had lunch with my child they were serving mac & cheese, green beans and bread & butter. That's it. There were huge buckets of butter on the tables. And the kids were going back for seconds. For more mac & cheese and bread. read more

We love this little private in Arlington. All the teachers are engaging and care about the students whether your child is in their class or not. All the children know one another and can tell you where your little one is when you come to pick him/ her up. Our LO loves it there and we all couldn't be happier. If we didn't move, my LO would still be attending. Great job to all the staff there! read more

We LOVE CU!! And our kids LOVE CU!! The education is stellar but even better than that is the administration and teachers who are engaged, loving and passionate about our kids, education and the school environment. Our kids have been involved in many of the extra-curricular activities offered and attend most of the school sponsored events held throughout the year. We truly appreciate CU's approach to education and family involvement and wish there were 10 stars to give in the rating. read more

DO NOT bring you're child here! RUN! Rude staff, and Very unorganized. When I pick my son up in the afternoons it is a mad house of confusion. Kids are everywhere, the lady working the front desk never seems to know where my child is. does not make me feel good for leaving him. His diaper is ALWAYS dirty as well. When I tried to voice my concerns to his teacher she brushed it off like it was nothing. overpriced for what you get! I was told the would be visiting "Nature school" once a week. I popped in to visit and the kids are just running around crazy in the nature room. read more
