Harrisburg | Union Deposit

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.

A graduate of Cabrini College, Sarah earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in early childhood and elementary education. Sarah taught for many years in private schools prior to joining U-GRO in 2012 as a toddler teacher. She spent time in various classrooms before assuming an assistant director role and ultimately being promoted to director of our Union Deposit center. “Working at U-GRO has opened my eyes to understanding why I do what I do, day in and day out. When you are able to combine a great team of teachers, a gorgeous center, an intergenerational program and a safe learning environment, you certainly celebrate the wonder of childhood!”

The Canby Street location is worth every single cent we pay. Sarah and her team of teachers are the best group a parent could ask for. We LOVE sending our little girl there every day.
