Teacher - Anonymous employee U-GRO Learning Centres Employee Review

Thank you for your review! We willingly welcome feedback and are pleased to provide you with an honest, informative response. Here at U-GRO, our core focus is to empower families by providing a foundation for our students for success in both school and in life and we recognize that this would not be possible without the dedication of our phenomenal teachers. We strive to support our team members in every way possible, including industry-competitive pay, a wide variety of benefits, ongoing paid training, curriculum support, and much more! While non-profit organizations often receive funding from the government or other outside sources, as a privately owned company, we do not, therefore it is crucial that we remain fiscally responsible in order to continue to provide jobs for our team members and exceptional care for our families. Our goal is to provide competitive wages, which are regularly reviewed to ensure market competitiveness. This past year, we conducted an extensive market analysis of compensation in the early learning industry, and increased pay across the board to ensure we were meeting and even exceeding market standards. We are very proud of being able to do this for our team members, and the feedback we receive from new hires is often very positive in that they are being given the opportunity to make more than they did at their previous ECE employer. While fiscal responsibility is a priority, quality care, relationships and education are paramount. We follow strict ratio guidelines in accordance with the Department of Human Services (DHS) to ensure best-in-class care for our students and are legally restricted from overcrowding our classrooms. We hope you allow us the opportunity to discuss your feedback in greater detail so we may continue to grow and empower the families we serve. Please contact us at 717-561-2201. We thank you for your review and truly hope that you will find an employer that better aligns with your personal values.
