FYI.....no longer Magic Years.....now officially Kindercare!!! same company...different name…read moreStaff there is amazing.....so far a Star 1 rating with Keystone stars and on there way quickly to a star 2!!! Turnover rate is very low.....1 teacher has been at that center since it opened in 1980....another 6 years and another 4 years.....most of the rest of the staff has been there for 1-2 years so far......i know first hand that a few of the teachers are continuing their education specifically in Early Childhood Education.....not Elementary Ed or other fields. This center is definitly a great learning opportunity and has lower rates than other area centers....it's definitly not a DAYCARE center.....it is a LEARNING center!!!

My daughter has been attending U-Gro for about a year. We have been absolutely blown away by the…read moreteachers and directors at U-Gro. 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!

Amazing staff and professional. Truly care about your kids and the grounds are very secure. Have…read morehad no issues dropping our little one off.

Review of East Shore YMCA - Unclean, Unprofessional, Unsafe…read moreAs a high-volume triathlete training for multiple Ironman events, my daily sessions often exceed five hours, with weekly totals ranging from 22 to 30 hours. I'm not a casual gym-goer--I know what a professionally run gym and aquatic facility should look like. Unfortunately, East Shore YMCA consistently falls short of even the most basic standards. ‍ Pool Conditions: Inconsistent and Unsafe - On some days, the pool is barely passable. On others, I'd be better off putting on a wetsuit and swimming in the river across the street. - I've personally seen used bandages floating in the pool and scattered around the deck--items I've had to alert apathetic lifeguards about. - Hygiene rules are routinely ignored, and enforcement is selective at best. I've witnessed multiple instances where individuals who were not certified lifeguards were stationed on duty. - Swimming here poses a legitimate health risk--both from potential staph infections due to water quality and from the possibility of an emergency being handled by underqualified staff. - Frankly, I'm surprised the Department of Health hasn't intervened under Title 28, Chapter 18. ‍ Weight Room: Disorderly and Unsupervised - The weight room often resembles a romper room more than a training facility. - Equipment is frequently left out or not wiped down. I've returned weights myself to prevent hazards--despite not being staff. - Unruly children run through the space unchecked, creating safety risks for those trying to train seriously. - While not as unsanitary as the pool, the environment reinforces every negative stereotype associated with Harrisburg city gyms. It's a shame, because the members seem to have accepted these low standards--and the staff reflects that same indifference. Location vs. Standards I live just two blocks from this facility, and for a while, convenience kept me coming back. But after touring the LA Fitness across the river, I realized I no longer need to tolerate a gym that fails to meet even the most basic expectations of professionalism, cleanliness, and safety. By contrast, the Camp Hill YMCA is everything East Shore is not--clean, professional, and well-managed. The difference is stark, and it's clear that East Shore YMCA does not prioritize its patrons' well-being. The standards here are not YMCA standards--they're simply what the staff and members have allowed to persist

We both know that…read moreshe needed to go because we didn't know if she could speak after we enrolled her and she started speaking and wasn't shy right now she's doing excellent speaking more than learning. She comes home every day telling us that she had a good day or a bad day she is also doing good at the potty training as well. Both her mother are very thankful and very happy that she has progressed in everything it is that doing as far as the teachers Ms Nakita doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work and thank you.
