Next Generation Children’s Centers (NGCC), which has 10 preschool locations across Massachusetts, has proudly provided childcare for thousands of families over the past 25 years. We are proud to be part of the Cadence Education daycare and preschool network. Our childcare center in Franklin, MA first opened its doors in 1998 and went through a renovation in 2012.
Our state-of-the-art Franklin MA daycare and preschool campus features 16 classrooms, a commercial kitchen, two indoor play spaces, a covered outdoor play area, and two large playgrounds that appeal to varying age groups.
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.
Preparing Your Child For Kindergarten
A successful transition to kindergarten is critical to your child’s future academic success. NGCC’s Franklin MA preschool prepares children for the rigors of kindergarten while having fun and making friends.
Our Franklin daycare and preschool curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s early learning framework and common core standards. This means that our instruction is tailored to help your child develop the skills they need to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.
