My daughter transitioned to U-Gro from another center and the differences are night and day. The staff is very friendly and personable and willing to help with any questions that you may have. The teachers are caring, warm and engaging with the children and make every day fun and exciting. The facilities are very inviting and make me wish I was young again to interact with them all. Overall experience, from start to finish, has been very good.

The teachers are wonderful!! My daughter (15 months) only cried the first couple days and after that she was excited to see the teachers in the morning! As a parent that is a huge burden off my shoulders knowing that my child likes the teachers that watch and play with her everyday. I love that snacks and lunches are included, there are monthly calendars given out so we know what is coming up each week, and the daily reports are great. You can tell that all the teachers and Sabrina, the Director really do love working with kids and help make them feel safe and secure while they are there. The security system in place is reassuring as well. The price is a little on the higher side compared to other facilities in the area but worth every penny when you know your child is in great hands!

The attention that is given to my child’s needs to make sure he is ready for kindergarten. The entire staff is amazing with the kids. They all work with them to help them learn new tools to be ready for kindergarten. The staff is open and honest in regards to what is going on and if there is an issue it is addressed in a timely manor. It is comforting to drop your child off and know they are in good hands while you have to work.
