Many opportunities for play and learning. My son loves going to 'school'. I feel comfortable that he is safe and cared for. I love the new app they started using to communicate information about my son's day.

The teachers in the infant classroom are amazing. They significantly lessen the mom- guilt I have for leaving my kiddos at daycare. My daughter gets excited to see them in the morning and that makes me so happy.

The low turnover, variety of activities offered, and flexibility in scheduling care e.g. before/after school care and full-day kindergarten. Everyone at the center seems engaged and invested in the kids.

I love the teachers! Every teacher in the center knows my child, which creates a warm, intimate environment. I love the programming. All children are involved in age-appropriate, interactive activities that vary throughout the day and week. I love the space, the rooms are clean, bright, and inviting. The playgrounds have lots of toys and equipment. The imagination room is amazing! My daughter always asks to go there. I love how caring and responsive everyone is, staff, teachers, directors.

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”
