We love Heather and her team at Brethren Village. Everybody knows my child by name and at each drop offs and pick offs they greet us with big smile in their face. Teachers are awesome, loving, caring and always catering to the needs of my kid. I can't imagine my child going to any other child care providers. We love love love U- GRO brethren village.

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.
