Georgia's Next Generation, LLC

Welcome to Next Generation, a place for children to grow, learn, and play. Your children deserve nothing but the best, so bring them here for an inviting environment that encourages curiosity and fun. Children are our future, with only one chance for a strong start. Here they will grow, learn, and play in a natural inviting environment that encourages constant curiosity, challenge and discovery. With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave a Next Generation campus, they're fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives. ​ We respect and recognize that there are individual differences among children. Teachers will focus on the strengths of each child while facilitating the successful development of the whole child. All children will be cared for at the fullest capacity of the caregivers. Children will be allowed to grow and explore at their own pace with the guidance of professional and compassionate caregivers. We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each childs strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships. Our founder with over 24 years of experience has selected the best features of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf to create our own progressive and holistic program. We believe that learning should be self-directed, similar to a Montessori approach. We also believe in having high-quality teachers who provide age-appropriate learning experiences. We provide open learning opportunities in the morning and afternoon by using our environment as the third teacher. We create guided learning opportunities through our planned curriculum. We believe student-guided learning allows children to develop problem-solving skills by thinking through situations in a logical manner. Comparable to a Reggio Emilia program, we believe that children learn through self-expression. We provide these opportunities through art and movement, STEM, and being in nature. Similar to a Waldorf school, we believe that children thrive when they have a consistent schedule with familiar routines. When children are prepared for what's next they feel secure and are able to fully engage in the learning opportunities provided.
