We have 2 kids that attend U-gro. They LOVE their teachers and look forward to being there. The school has a great curriculum and excellent staff that are friendly, nurturing, caring and engaging. Our kids are thriving and ahead of their peers in other circles outside of Ugro - they are learning their letters, numbers, they are social and are interested in the world and people around them. On top of that, the teachers have also helped our kids achieve their personal milestones, which is a tremendous help to our parenting goals.

My 3 year old daughter is getting exactly what was lacking at her previous daycare. Lots of love & personal attention. So glad we enrolled her at Ugro. Thanks to Ms. Katie for taking such good care of my little pumpkin.

Each teacher has shown genuine care and concern for our son. He exhibits joy with every day that he attends and is always learning something new!

U-Gro is a great facility and my daughter loves it. She’s constantly learning and in-turn teaching me things as well. I can tell she loves it there even though she cries at times in the beginning. The teachers are all great and know the children by name, even the Director and Assistant Director. The teachers give feedback about my child and her day which gives me a peace of mind. Overall, it’s a great facility and I feel that I made the right choice.

Both our boys have attended Tecport UGro. Teachers are excellent!!! Turnover very low. Many of the same teachers my first son had several years ago are still there today. My kids love all the special programs that are offered- fitness fusion, music fusion, Spanish, etc. Excellent preschool my kids always have a great day here.
