I have 2 girls that have been going there since the age of 2. The education system is outstanding. I would highly recommend them to any and all considering them for their kids future education.

We love this school. We have 5 & 3 years old kids there. We put our 5 year old in 3 different schools before settled down in this school because he was not learning anything and he was not happy either. Some of the schools have too many kids and therefore can't pay attention to individual kid's need. We are very happy that we found this school. It has small class size and very affordable. Although they might not have the latest/biggest playground, but they sure pay attention to kid's education needs. Our kids have learned so much, reading, math skills and even behavior control. I can't say enough about this school. We highly recommend this school and their program!

Teachers are phenomenal. Administrators wonderful. The children learn so much and are academically advanced when they graduate. It is very evident that they care about your children and their success. I wish they took kids up to 6th grade. I highly recommend this program. It is the strongest in the county. I had three kids who attended there.

Children R Us is amazing. Because of the great start they gave my daughter she is now in Kindergarten and reading at a second grade level. I am currently discussing with her teachers the possibility of having her skip 1st grade. Her current teacher has nothing but praise for the foundation she received from Children R Us and says all the time how she wishes that all her students could have such a great start. The staff is amazing and so caring. I wish I could transport them all to where we currently live so that my son could be a part of their amazing program.

Children R Us (CRU, Ventura) has proven to be the best school that two working parents could have asked for. They're commitment to education is unparalleled. Mr. and Mrs. Tarver strive to teach my two sons the importance of values, such as INTEGRITY, RESPECT, COMPASSION, INDEPENDENCE, and the significance of TEAM WORK. Thanks to CRU, my 5 year old son has surpassed the requirements for first grade and my two year old can speak fluidly and is able expresses himself like no other two year old I have ever encountered. Because of the confidence I have in CRU, I have become a self-appointed ambassador and recommended them to people I encounter on a day-to-day basis. I will always be grateful to CRU for all that they have done for my sons, now and in the future. Respectfully, D & S. Harrison

I heard great things about this school from many people but unfortunately the director was quite rude when I called for more information and she still hasn't returned any of my phone calls. I guess they don't need money right now. I find that very disappointing and unprofessional.
My 5 year old daughter is going to this school for last 2 years since we moved in the area from Michigan. There is no word to describle the excellence of this program. My child learned discipline and routine work.Their approach to teach reading and writing was very appropriate to her age. She was engaged with the homework and always willing to complete them in time. Teachers were very patient and kind to all the students.She learned lot of new things she didn't know before.We were always informed about what's going on in the school. This school is second to none , when it comes for a choice to be selected as a kid's environment for learning. This is an amazing program!!

Children R Us is an excellent school. I have a 6 year old son in the Kinder program and a 2 year old daughter in the early pre-school program. Both my children have excelled greatly while at Children R Us. My sons reading, writing and math skills are at the first grade level. I have been told by other parents that do not have their children at this school that they are shocked at how advanced my kids are. Additionally, the children are taught to have good manners, table ettiquette and to give thanks. They use the golden rule and are encouraged daily to do their best. My kids love their teachers and enjoy going to school everyday. The teachers have surpassed my expectations, they sincerely care about the childrens growth. I would encourage parents to enroll their kids in Children R Us with confidence that they will agree this is an amazing school.

Children "R" Us. . . Where do I begin? This school has been nothing less than excellent. My daughter has been attending CRU since 2007 and she has learned so much. She learned how to read (at the age of four), do math, recite poems and work with classmates. They also teach children how to have self control, obedience, self-discipline and sharing. She loves this school. The teachers are amazing and do their best every day to ensure all of the students needs are met. I would recommend anyone to CRU in a heartbeat. Children "R" Us is AMAZING!!!!

My two daughters attend Children R Us. One is in Kindergarten and on is in Pre School. This school is just amazing. My daughter who is in Kindergarten started school here when she was 2 1/2. She was shy and didn't talk much. She is now reading and writing at first grade level, she comes stating facts about the solar system too, which she loves. She says she wants to be an astronaut. My 3 year old is can write her name by memory and any other word, if you spell it to her. Not only is there education superb, they also teach the children manners, respect and what to do in an emergency. Both of my daughters love going to school and speak very proudly of what they learn each day. I am so glad to have found this school. I love the it, the teachers and those who run it. They are amazing.

We currently have our son attending CRU. He has gone there for the last 3 years. This is, unfortunately, his final year there as he will be graduating from Kindergarten. All teachers have been excellent, and so has the director. Great curriculum, and there is plenty of staff to give individual attention where needed.

This is my son's second year in this school. The staff is friendly, and well educated. My son began their program with pre-school and is now attending kinder. When we began, my son didn't speak in sentences and is now advanced to writting, and doing simple math. I have never seen such progress in such little time! I'm so lucky to be apart of there family.
