The people ... we now have our 3rd child at U-Gro and I couldn't imagine going any where else. The staff clearly care about the kids and I know they are safe, loved and also learning while they are there.

I love EVERYTHING about UGRO. I love the teachers, the curriculum, the schedule, and how they’re so good with the kiddos! Wouldn’t want my son anywhere else! He’s been there for 2 years and I love the teachers he has had in the past classrooms and the ones he has currently. Very supportive teachers and encouraging when he was transitioning classrooms and tackling some milestones such as being potty trained. You guys rock!

My girls love their teachers and learn so much everyday. As my oldest enters Kindergarten in the Fall she aced the Kindergarten assessment at her new school and was able to demonstrate all the things she has learned. We are amazed at how much she has learned and have to credit the wonderful teachers at U Gro and your robust curriculum for getting her Kindergarten ready.
