I love the academic factors that my son takes away from U-GRO. I also appreciate that everyone working there either has years of experience or a degree in something. I also appreciate their fairness when things come up!

Honestly, everything!! From the decorations, special days, food and the incredibly caring and creative staff we couldn’t have chosen a better school for our little one!! Wish we could stay forever but I know she will be incredibly prepared for her next steps because of Miss Hannah and Miss Makenzie.

The people at our U-Gro are very caring, and did a great job during the first few weeks of my child's adjustment to daycare.

I love that everyday the teachers are excited to see Eva. It makes me feel good that her teachers care so much about her. Knowing her teachers love her really makes working all day so much easier. I can't wait to see my little girl grow at U-GRO!!!

The teachers are WONDERFUL! I truly feel like they know my children and they are invested in their learning. They make learning fun in a loving environment. I never worry about my kids having a bad day. Even when they struggle with developmental behaviors, the teachers help them (and me) in a way that is supportive and caring. The curriculum also surprises me on a daily basis. I am amazed at what my kids come home knowing after their day at U-Gro. I would never consider taking my kids anywhere else!
