U-Gro offers our kids such a great all-around learning experience. They learn social skills, academic lessons, and have plenty of time to play with their friends. We love our U-Gro experience and love the open communication they provide.

We really enjoy the open communication with the teachers when there are any issues with our son. They provide us with a lot of feedback, suggestions on things to work on at home, and seem to really invest in our sons success and learning. -Mollie Ayers

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 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 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.
