About Next Generation Children’s Center in Westford

Next Generation Children’s Center (NGCC) Westford, which opened its doors in 1996, was the second of ten NGCC private preschools opened across Massachusetts. The family of preschool learning centers was established after the founder was unable to find suitable childcare for her first grandchild.

NGCC’s Westford day care center features:

  • An Infants and Young Toddlers building, which includes an indoor play area, two outdoor playgrounds, and a covered outdoor play space.
  • A newly-refurbished main building, where we provide care for Older Toddlers through Pre-Kindergarten.
  • Indoor play spaces for gross motor development and age appropriate outdoor playgrounds.
  • A commercial kitchen, where we prepare breakfast, lunch, and three healthy snacks daily.
  • A laundry center, where we wash and sanitize your child’s clothes, sheets, and blankets.

Other Day Care Programs Offered:

  • Infant Childcare (6 weeks – 15 months) – A daycare program designed to maintain the strong bonds, warmth, and security your child enjoys with you at home.
  • Toddler (15 months – 36 months) – Professional caregivers guide your toddlers through a curriculum of cognitive, social, and physical growth.
  • Preschoo(3 – 4 years) – A preschool curriculum carefully designed to jump start a lifetime of learning and achievement.
  • Pre-Kindergarten (4 – 5 years) – This Pre-Kindergarten program combines the skills and experiences taught in previous years to prepare students for the transition to Kindergarten.
  • Kindergarten Club (4 – 5 years) – Our Kindergarten Club takes place during the last year of preschool and is available to help students become more at ease with their journey into Kindergarten.
  • Summer Program (5 – 7 years) – We offer an exciting, safe, fun and educational summer program with a new theme each year!

I am proud to have called NGCC Westford my home since 1998. I currently oversee the Infant/Toddler building and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with our new families, especially those who are new to childcare and looking for guidance in this important choice. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Northern Essex and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree. I am Director II certified by the Department of Early Education and Care. My two NGCC graduates have special memories of their time in here at Westford.

Co-Director

I started working as a teacher here at NGCC Westford in 1996. I continued my career here growing into the program manager position, the assistant director and then the director position. Over the years I have also directed our Andover location as well as supporting several of our other locations. I enjoy forming relationships and partnering with families to educate, nurture and care for their children. I love watching the innocence of the early childhood years where every child is free to be their unique and authentic self. I am the proud mom of two grown children who both graduated from Next Generation!

My children (4 and 6) went to NGC for miscellaneous days in the summer through Bright Horizons. My kids had Ms. Desiree and I cannot say enough good things about her. Each day the kids were greeted with such a big smile and she shared excitement to see them. The directors and coordinators were very helpful in ensuring the kids were correctly placed and even accommodated some dietary requests (i.e., child food references)!

I can't imagine a better place to send my kids for daycare/preschool! The teachers and staff are all truly amazing and clearly love the work they do. My daughter loved attending NGCC and learned so much. I am confident that she's well prepared for kindergarten thanks to the care and education she received.

NGCC was our backup care through my employers Bright Horizon Backup care program. I cannot thank them enough for taking such a good care of my kind and providing a very happy and nourishing place and helping them get ready for K. Many times I had this thought.. why did we not come here full time but I am glad we found it for our needs and hope other family find it sooner :). They do a great job in keeping a very safe and calm environment which we struggled with in our previous daycare. Also Ms Desiree is awesome. We are glad to have her.

Awesome Audience and Super Staff! We were honored to entertain the students and staff today with two shows at Westford's Next Generation Children's Center (affiliated with Cadence Academy) with our musical ventriloquist comedy. Special thanks to the children who joined us in the first show to play tambourines and drumsticks. In the second show for older children, others volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from the big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice into the microphone.
