Review Policy: ChildcareCenter.us does not actively screen or monitor user reviews, nor do we verify or edit content. Reviews reflect only the opinion of the writer.

About the Provider

Next Generation Schools are all a pre-qualified provider with the Agency of Education and we offer high-quality publicly funded pre-K education for 3-5-year-olds. Universal Pre-K (known as Act166) funds 10 hours of Pre-K per week during the school year. This funding will reduce the cost of your tuition for the 10 hours of Pre-K if you are not attending the local school district programming. Children must be in attendance for the 10 hours of Universal Preschool to qualify for these funds. The days and times that are set are determined at the start of the school year once enrollment schedules have been navigated and it is clear the days that all of the children are in attendance for these services. Our commitment to play and the natural environment is weaved into our curriculum that is developed by a licensed educator. If students are accessing universal pre-k through the school district and are attending their local public school Next Generation offers preschool care after the public programming. We provide a rich learning environment with curricula that are developmentally appropriate to the specific ages in each classroom. We have a flexible daily routine that allows children to advance at their own pace. We strongly believe that learning happens through play. Learning and exploring are hands-on and are facilitated through interest areas. Our program is designed to enhance children¿s development in the following areas: creativity, self-expression, decision-making, problem-solving, responsibility, independence, and reasoning. We encourage openness to that which is different from us, and the ability to work and play with others.
