Serving Military Families in Pennsylvania

Giving Strong Roots to Their Children

At U-GRO, we love to support the heroes in our community—and their little heroes-in-training. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where children from infancy through age 12 can discover the wonder of early learning through intentional, active play and hands-on exploration, every single day.

Life as a military family can sometimes be complicated. So finding quality child care should be easy. Whether you are paying directly or receiving government assistance, U-GRO is honored to welcome military families across Pennsylvania and committed to giving every child the roots they need to grow and thrive.

As a thank you for your service, active duty military families receive a 10% tuition discount when paying without government assistance.*

Thank you for your service. We are honored to support the military families of Pennsylvania.

Military Child Care Assistance Programs

Fee assistance may significantly reduce your child care costs. If you are a member of the U.S. Military, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. National Park Service, or U.S. General Services Administration, you may be eligible for child care assistance. Contact your branch directly for eligibility requirements, and explore these programs:

Child Care Aware^_® of America (CCAoA) - For members of the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps.

Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) - For members of the Navy and Coast Guard.

How to Get Started with MCCYN

Applying for MCCYN assistance is straightforward, and your local school director is here to guide you through every step.

Schedule a tour. Connect with your local school director. If your nearest U-GRO school isn’t yet listed as MCCYN-approved, reach out so they can help explore your options.
Accept your assistance offer. Once your offer comes through, let us know you’re ready. Our team will coordinate with MCCYN to finalize all the details and get your child enrolled.
