The staff is caring. The facility is bright, cheery, and full of great toys and student artwork. My child gets to participate in activities that are both fun and educational. Parents are kept informed about upcoming events, changes, etc.

Sabrina, Anastacia, Kasey, & Tia are phenomenal. They have really helped my daughter progress developmentally in ways that I could have never imagined. I recommend the center to everyone and anyone that I speak to you regarding childcare. It is worth every single penny.

I have three children and they absolutely love going to school! I also have no hesitant about dropping my children off at U-GRO, including my infant, because I know they are loved and taken care of! The staff that I interact with are cheerful and pleasant, always making sure to acknowledge us whether we are in their classroom or walking down the halls.
