Both are very easy to talk to about any issues that you may have or just chitchat about anything. They take the time to train the teachers the correct way.

In all the times I dropped off and picked up I never once saw a single one who ever seemed genuinely happy while interacting with a child. One teacher in my oldest sons room would actually borderline yell at some of the kids, I personally observed this on multiple occasions. One day during drop off she snapped a very rude remark in a much louder and harsher tone than normal conversation at my son because he attempted to get out some toys which they had already apparently cleaned up prior to his arrival. As he was supposed to know this? Through all the hot August days I would pick them up off the playground and they would be hot and sweated with no water bottles. The water bottle I packed would be empty back inside their cubbies in their rooms. I commented on it one day and a teacher replied "we'd be going back and forth to the bathroom constantly if everyone had water bottles". Apparently taking already potty trained kids to the bathroom is too much to ask? The icing on the cake which led to immediately withdrawing from the center was when my oldest son came home with a hand print on his arm. He was 4 and no longer napped, however the 4-5 year old classroom had a 2 hour nap time each afternoon where they expected him to sit and play quietly on a cot. For 2 whole hours. He struggled with this, as I'm sure most 4 year old boys would and they didn't want to put the effort into finding a solution. One day he came home and told me about how the teacher that day was mad at him for not being quiet during nap time so she grabbed his arm very hard and made him sit in a time out chair in the corner. When questioned she said she gently led him to another area. Gentle enough to leave a handprint, I guess..... We paid almost $1000/month for him to attend UGRO and they actually asked me to pack him a bag of quiet things to do during nap time so he wouldn't disrupt the other kids. Total lack of desire to foster kids development and growth. Do NOT waste your time looking at this facility. The director is kind and sweet and you will think it's a great place but do not be fooled. The staff are absolutely terrible and could care less about your child.

My daughter has grown by leaps and bounds during the past year. We get such a kick out of the things she learns at school. Out of nowhere, she will start using a totally new word or singing a new song and then she'll tell us she learned it at school. As she has grown, the curriculum has grown with her! Can't wait to see what more she learns in the future! The facility is always clean. We love the cameras and I find myself checking in to see what cool thing she's doing many times a day. Thanks U-Gro!

I highly recommend bright beginnings and if I lived closer, my children would have went here without a doubt!

She built deep relationships with each teacher, every year- and they always treated her with love and respect. The leadership shines here with communication and availability- I don't know if they ever take a day off!

Our daughter has thrived and learned so much during her time here and I highly recommend Tender Years.
