Preschool in Lancaster, PA 17602
Welcome to U-GRO here in Lancaster, PA! We are proud to have been chosen to serve as the child care operator at HACC’s Lancaster campus since 2008. My name is Brittany and I’m the center director. I’ve been a part of the U-GRO team since 2017 and have my degree in early childhood education.
Our early learning center offers full- and part-time options in each of our programs, including Infant Care, Toddler, and Preschool. Our center is open to all HACC students, faculty, and staff, as well as our general Lancaster community!
Each program is taught by our talented team of teachers. Every staff member participates in training opportunities throughout the year to ensure we stay current in the field of early childhood education.
We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

U-GRO is committed to provide the highest quality early childhood education through our proprietary Blended Model curriculum. The Blended Model was conceived to provide a balanced approach to classroom learning. It provides opportunities for structured activities (teacher directed) as well as investigative (child-led) discovery. We then align our program content and goals to the Pennsylvania Learning Standards for Early Childhood.
The Blended Model curriculum is brought to life by U-GRO teachers who are positive and share a love of children. They look for teachable moments and work to capture childrens interest in all they do. By making observations throughout their planned lessons teachers discover childrens interests. This leads to investigations and the study of concepts that children are excited to explore.
The environment at U-GRO is well-planned and creative. Activities support child-choice and self-directed play small groups and circle-times with the whole group. Classes are organized developmentally and according to age which ensures that daily lesson plans are tailored to individual needs and hands-on learning fun!
