Description: U-GRO Lebanon is a modern childcare and preschool center conveniently located on a secure two acre campus at the Tuck Business Center, just off Cornwall Road. We don't know of another childcare facility like it in the Lebanon Valley! Ten classrooms and two large separate outdoor playgrounds provide a wonderful environment to learn and play. But that's only part of the story!
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
