My toddler has learned so much, and enjoys her days at U-gro. She is at the facility for 40+ hours a week, and I am thrilled to have such Caring people teach her.

The extra instruction-sign language, Spanish, physical fitness. I like the clean new facility that has lots of materials for the kids to utilize.

We have only been with U-GRO for a couple weeks. So far it’s been amazing!! Our 1st week was the hardest, but a smooth transition and an awesome teacher (Miss. Jessica in the Caterpillar room) made the following weeks a lot better. Of course the imagination station helps a lot too. My kiddo is happy and excited to go to his “new school”

There are several items that we like about our U-GRO experience. These include but are not limited to: the activities that are scheduled to keep kids engaged; the caring and attentive nature of the teachers; continued learning opportunities for the teachers; and, communication received from the Center Director and teachers. We would like to see an option available for school age care that would allow for a 2-hour before and after school care and not just 2-hours before school or 4-hours total.

I love how much our daughter is learning, and coping with being away from us (her parents) during the day. I understand there is constant changes with the teachers because that is the nature of child care, but every teacher she has had and every adult that has been with her has been a wonderful role model for her. I see how hard they all work daily to make sure she is fed, clean, well taken care of, happy, and learning! AND they have to do that for 9 other children!! It’s been a wonderful first school experience for all of us, and we are excited for the new building and more good changes to come!
