I love how invested the teachers are in the lives of each student. They remember if my child tells then something she's excited to do over the weekend and will ask her about it on Monday.

I can see the progress my children are making as individuals; both academically and socially.

I love that my son always seems engaged in a learning activity. His previous daycare was good, but they seemed to abandon structured play or learning in mid-afternoon and the kids would watch TV the rest of the day. At U-Gro, he is always doing something constructive -- and being made to put away whatever he was using.

We have pleased with the structured learning and the kindness by all of the teachers we have met. They do a great job at focusing on the children as a whole class but also being attentive to the individual needs and learning styles of each child.

We love the staff and the environment that supports learning and growth. I’ve experienced other centers and U-Gro is beyond compare. Every teacher has a passion for early learning which is evident in how they care for the kids. I’m always amazed at the activities provided by the center. They are age appropriate and support learning in such fun ways. I’m so proud my child gets to be part of the UGro experience.

Everything, my daughter loves her teachers and I love how much she has grown and learned in the last few years. Every week she comes home with a new song or something she has picked up from the weeks curriculum.
