They took the commotion in stride and made us feel so welcome.  I just wanted to pass that along to you.     Name:  The Lillenstein’s Date: Message:   Thank you very much for taking wonderful care of Sadie this year.  We very much appreciate all of the thought and effort that goes into daily communication notes, activity planning, and general care-taking.   Sadie has learned so much from you and our trust for her daily care couldn’t be stronger.  Thank you for all that you do and do well!     Name:  Bruce Hudson Date:     5/11/05 Message:   Our daughter Zoe attended the Lancaster location in Kelli Ahern's class until last week when I accepted a new job in Florida.  We really enjoyed having Zoe in Kelli's class and Zoe enjoyed it as well.  She learned a lot, had lots of fun and will miss Kelli and her classmates.  Keep up the good work there!     Name:  The Zurins Date:  5/31/05 Message:   Thank you so much for the special care you gave Dylan.  He has learned so much this past 8 months with Miss Kelli.  I could not have found any place that makes me feel as at ease as much as U-GRO has.  You certainly do have a wonderful caring staff.  I can't say enough good things about these ladies.  They are truly angels.  Thank you so much.      Name:  Deslynn Ropp Date:  6/30/06 Message:  I’m not sure if this is the correct email address to send this message, but I just want to tell you how wonderful the staff at the York U-Gro are. Our oldest son, Ethan attended U-Gro in York since he was 11 weeks old (he is now 5). When our second son Marcus was born, we had no reservations about enrolling him in U-Gro. He is now 20 months. Back in February, we decided to switch daycares so that when Ethan started Kindergarten in the Fall he would be able to be bussed to the Kindergarten in our school district. In turn, we decided to take Marcus along too. Unfortunately, we learned very quickly that “the grass isn’t always greener” and what seemed like a simple switch didn’t go too well. While Ethan did, and is still doing, well in this other daycare, Marcus did not thrive. Each day for over two months we would get notes about Marcus hitting and throwing for no reason at all…a problem that we never had in U-Gro. When we would speak with the Director there, she would tell us what a “problem child” Marcus was, but never had any suggestions as to how to solve the problem. Eventually, she told us that they no longer could allow him to attend their daycare. Mind you, he was only 18 months at the time and had no other way to express himself. Also, we never saw the problems occur at home.  My husband and I quickly regrouped and called Deb Wise at U-Gro. We explained the situation and she was very understanding and sympathetic to our dilemma. Fortunately, she was able to work out a spot for Marcus and happily accepted him back to U-Gro. She made Marcus’ teachers aware of the situation. I am sure that they were all hesitant to take Marcus back under the circumstances. However, Marcus has wrapped up his third week back at U-Gro with Miss Angie and Miss Jamie and he has adjusted so well. Both of these teachers are just wonderful and have been sure to make it clear that they have not observed any of the problems that this other daycare had witnessed.  I can’t tell you enough how thankful we are for Deb and her staff. We hope that next Summer, when Ethan (our oldest son) has completed Kindergarten, we will be able to enroll him into U-Gro’s Summer program. We have all of the confidence in the world with Deb and the teachers at U-Gro to take care of our children. My husband and I wanted to make sure that everyone at U-Gro knows how much we appreciate them. With much appreciation.   {Kids and Trees}   Archives  No Archives at this time.
