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.

I love getting updates during the day including pictures of my daughter. It is such a relief to know she is safe and happy. It is also wonderful to be able to discuss her day with her when we take her home. The staff are very kind and sincere. We can't say enough.

You grow is amazing it’s so sad that our director Sarah is leaving but with such a phenomenal team I know that anyone they bring in will be just as great. I have had my children in rooms from infant to preschool, we sent our eldest there and now we are sending our youngest. Some of the best teachers are Miss Grace, and Miss Tracy!!

First of all, I love the teachers and the fact that they treat my daughter so well. They are compassionate and kind, and they have taught my daughter so much in her short tenure. The curriculum is fantastic and right on pace with her learning capabilities, and it also drives her to want to learn more. The facility is always tidy, clean, and full of color and artwork from the classrooms (inside and out). The staff listens well to her specific needs and requests, and answers any questions that arise. The messaging system/kidreports is a great way to check in on my daughter daily, and is a great way to communicate anything she may need, as well as upcoming events that I may have forgotten about. I love the documentation aspect of knowing exactly what she ate and how much, how well she acted towards the other children and teachers, and the specific skills focused on throughout the day. U-GRO Centers are a professional, safe environment and I would not want my daughter anywhere else.

I love the teachers! I know they’re making a positive impact on my child’s life. My daughter will say things and I wonder how she knew that, but she’s learning it at U-Gro.
