About Next Generation Children’s Center Preschool in Beverly, MA
The educators at Next Generation Children’s Centers, Beverly recognize that young children need exposure to much more than academics during their first years of life. We take a skill-based approach that allows us to balance social, emotional, physical, creative, and cognitive development. We offer a nurturing preschool environment where your child will thrive. Our daycare center in Beverly was the last NGCC location to open and incorporates the best features from our first nine preschools, including:
- 17 classrooms
- A commercial kitchen, where we prepare a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and three snacks daily
- An entire wing dedicated to Infants, with heated classroom floors and an indoor play space
- Indoor play areas and a covered, outdoor play space for older children
- Three large playgrounds for different age groups
- A performing arts room, a favorite destination for dramatic play and art projects
- A laundry center, where we wash and sanitize your child’s clothes, sheets, and blankets
Kind Child Program
Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.
Kindergarten Readiness
Providing your child an exceptional education is an important part of our promise to you. Our Ascend Curriculum is a vehicle that will gently guide your child towards future success in kindergarten and elementary school. Our skill-based curriculum starts in our Infant and Toddler classrooms and progresses all the way through Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten. Important skills in 9 different subject areas are progressively introduced and polished just before kindergarten in Kindergarten Club.
