The teachers and staff are all wonderful -- they show how much they care about and enjoy working with kids every day. I also appreciate that the school communicates so well with parents and builds a strong community with activities, such as book club, that bring in parents to connect with each other and engage with teachers on a regular basis.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care our child is provided. The family environment is…read morecomforting for a full time working parent, and I feel as though her education and development is their priority every day. They make a huge effort to include parents in the daily accomplishments their children via multiple email updates with pictures throughout the day, which makes me feel I'm not missing out on quite so much while at work. The school encourages and nurtures cultural diversity both in the student/family population and within the curriculum. The facility itself is clean/organized and the faculty are always friendly and know every single student by name! Many of the teachers have been there since opening in 2012 when my child started there as a baby, and to me that speaks volumes about the dedication the teachers have to the children and that they are treated well themselves by the employer. Happy teachers mean happy kids in my opinion!! Not only have they retained an incredible staff, there are many families that have also been a part of this school since day 1, some with multiple children as their families have grown, again speaking volumes about the family environment and quality education that is provided. Additionally, they follow strict guidelines regarding food safety, allergy awareness and hygiene-believe me I have received many emails regarding slip ups if I don't properly label my child's food items etc, again reassuring me that my child and the other children in her classroom/school are their priority.

Of the three daycares our child has gone to (and countless others that we've toured), U-gro is without a doubt the best of the best. U-gro has caring teachers who lead a strong curriculum that teaches not only "book learning" but social development skills like manners, respect, and how to interact with other children and adults. We were lucky to have Miss Margie in the Bears Room and Miss Jenn in the Ducklings room and we couldn't have been more thrilled with their professionalism, caring, and personalities. We could definitely tell that our child loved being there and was truly benefiting from her time spent at this center. The director, Julie, is so friendly, and runs an outstanding program. The facility itself is spectacular - a level of cleanliness and order that I have never seen anywhere else. Absolutely hands down worth the cost (and this is not something I say lightly, this was a stretch for us to pay the weekly fee here, and I would gladly pay it again). The only bad thing I can say about U-gro is that it will definitely ruin all other daycare for you. Nothing else will measure up.

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.

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.
