I appreciate how invested the teachers are in my daughter's life. All the teachers, even those that teach in the older classrooms that she hasn't been in yet, know who she is and have conversations with her daily. My daughter talks about her teachers almost daily on our way home. I love this because it shows me how dedicated the teachers are.

We really feel that the teachers invest in each child in their class. We also appreciate the open communication about daily activities, our child’s development in the class, and any changes we need to know of. It is clear that the staff and teachers all have a heart for helping these children grow!

Big smile on everybody's face specially teachers whenever we go to drop off and pick up our son. They are very accommodating and so very helpful to help with our kid's transition. The level of trust and peace that U GRO gives us knowing that our son is in great hands is priceless!!!

Our child has learned so much to get him prepared for kindergarten. Learning to write, listening more, interested in reading. He is taught manners and how to behave, very important characteristics. We have been impressed with the skills learned at U-GRO and will send our next child there.
