Ties that bind
Children and parents love our teachers. Every staff member takes delight in bringing a smile to your child’s face. U-GRO recruits people who represent a perfect blend of warmth, education, and experience. Above all, they believe growing up should be a great experience for every child.
Providing for the providers
U-GRO celebrates the wonder of childhood every day. But we couldn’t do what we do without the dedication of our staff. U-GRO has created a unique culture that provides teachers with a work environment that allows them to grow, learn, and succeed. Our teachers love what they’re doing, and it shows.
We designed and built every state-of-the-art U-GRO facility just for children. Classrooms are tailored to appropriate age groups. Each one colorful, immaculate, safe, and spacious enough. Room enough to learn and room enough to grow. Room enough for preschoolers to romp and roll to their heart’s delight. Equipped with so many playthings you’ll wish you could be small again.
With safety in mind, along with secured, fenced-in play-yards, all of our centres are equipped with both an access system and touch-screen sign-in system. This double-check ensures each and every child’s safety because every parent must punch-in their individualized security code before entering the school to sign-in their child.
No one builds facilities like U-GRO
