About the Provider

U-GRO Union Deposit is a modern childcare and preschool center conveniently located on a two acre campus just off Union Deposit Road. Parents really appreciate our location because it instantly feels safe. The first thing you'll notice is the playground area. We don't know of another childcare playground to compare it to? It's so spacious with many mature shade trees. What a great place to learn and grow! But that's only part of the story.
