The First Five Years
There’s a reason why parents love U-GRO. U-GRO Learning Centres recognizes that the first five years of your child’s life are an extraordinary time. It sets the stage for all the years that follow. Building blocks for future success are established and developed during that short span including:
- Cognitive Development
- Social-Emotional Development
- Physical and Motor Development
Additional support is provided through hands-on learning activities, which encourage your child to develop a positive self-image and learn essential social and emotional skills. At the same time, activities will enhance your child’s growth in:
- Creative Arts
- Language and Literacy
- Science and Social Studies
- Logical-Mathematical
Above all, these first years should be, and can be, fun. U-GRO can help you celebrate the wonder of childhood!
Explore. Play. Learn. Grow.
The U-GRO program and educational curriculum provides children with opportunities to flourish and experience the extraordinary everyday! We care about developing the whole child. Through our Blended Model® curriculum, your child will receive a balance between teacher-directed learning activities and child-led discovery activities! This balance will help build your child’s cognitive, social and emotional abilities, while the teacher-directed activities will help develop essential skills like learning numbers and letters. U-GRO teachers take a positive approach by helping your child feel good about what they can do while guiding them towards growth. This approach will help your child build high self-esteem and confidence which in turn builds future success!
We group children not only by age but, more importantly, by their stage of development. It creates a better environment to explore together, play together, learn together, and grow together. U-GRO offers a wide range of classes specific to your child’s needs:
Center-wide activities include special theme days, cooking events, holiday parties, field trips, and other opportunities for family involvement. Monthly curriculum calendars and e-newsletters explain the changing curriculum topics, notify parents of upcoming events, and provide parenting information and tips.
