About the Provider

Advertisement

U-GRO is honored to have been chosen to serve as the childcare operator for the Brethren Village Retirement Community. Our modern center is conveniently located right on the BV campus which makes it easier to serve the needs of employee families while they work. But we also serve families not associated with BV that may just live or work in the area. U-GRO features six classrooms and an exciting outdoor playground. It's truly a wonderful environment to learn and play! But that's only part of the story.
