Nurturing the Whole Child

To succeed, a child needs not only solid academic skills but also a positive sense of self and a feeling of community. Our Franklin child care center makes every effort to create a caring and nurturing environment that supports healthy choices and the emotional well-being of every child.

Our experienced and certified staff members take into account each child’s unique personality, interests, and stage of development while planning activities and designing curriculum. Through our play-based curriculum, we provide opportunities to explore, create, and socialize. Our program is tailored to meet the needs of each individual child and his or her family.

At NGCC, we focus on the growth and development of the “whole child.” Our Franklin preschool curriculum actively engages the following core concepts every day:

• Education
• Social skills
• Healthy habits
• Community connections

We work with you so that your child develops a love for learning and higher self-esteem. We believe that children learn best through hands-on activities, and our teachers provide them with the materials, freedom, and support to learn at their own pace. Activities at our Franklin daycare and preschool are developed from your child’s interests and abilities so that they love every minute of each day at school.
