A part of the Harrisburg area community since 1997, this center is located on a two-acre campus, nestled away from main roads and features a large playground area under mature shade trees. Its close proximity to the Ecumenical Retirement Community allows us to offer an intergenerational program with “grandfriends,” which combines their talents and life skills in daily and special events.

I like the fact that my 3yr old loves it at u gro he always looks forward to going to daycare. I like it cos they actually teach the kids ,when my son started he was around 18months and he hardly had any words and couldn’t speak English cos we don’t speak English with him at home, now he uses English words that amazes us and he has all his tenses right. We love u-gro!!!!!

I was happy I didn’t have to pay for my sons summer experience like the previous $60. Mr. Steve has done a wonderful job making sure things ran smoothly during the director transition. I’m very happy he was promoted to the director at UD. My only complaint and it’s truly insignificant, it’s more work on the parent to make sure the theme of the week gets sent in every Monday. Then I’m suppose to send in something with the letter of the week. It’s just something I don’t look forward to. When he was 2 and younger I just wouldn’t send anything

I value the friendly staff, a child/play focused curriculum and that I know my child is cared for when I cannot be with her!

My daughter has been in the care of the amazing teachers for 2 years. The entire atmosphere is welcoming and promotes growth and early education. The teachers are the best and really know how to make every moment count. I love the comfort of knowing my child is safe, happy, and always learning.
