We transferred our son to U-Gro a year ago and we could not be happier. The teachers are amazing and he is always engaged in fun educational activities.

My son absolutely loves going to school. He even asks to go on the weekends. He comes home excited about the activities from the day.

The teachers and staff have been great with the transition into a more structured learning environment for our son. Despite some tears at drop off, he's been able to express to us that his teachers take good care of him and that he's having fun with the different activities planned for the class.

The teachers show how greatly they care about the learning and development of the children they teach. My son was a preemie and has been so incredibly loved since starting there and I feel confident dropping him off each day. I was never worried about the care he would receive. They do so much to make sure they are learning as many skills as possible. I look forward to picking my son up each day to hear their excitement of how the day went.
