Overview:

The fundamentals of a solid preschool education provided by The Next Generation Child Development Center will enable children to become adept at following directions, expressing themselves, accepting responsibility and developing leadership in preparation for future learning.

Learning:  The children are associated by age and aptitude. In each program they are taught the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, animals and states. Study is developed through pictures and projects that the children do several times per week to make the learning more enjoyable.

Fun:  The curriculum mixes fun, free-spirited activities with lessons in reading, mathematics, science, social studies, computers, geography, good manners, physical education, and other basic early childhood educational components. Particular attention is given to the emotional and intellectual development of children through quality supervision and individual attention in a small class setting.

Play:  Indoor and outdoor play areas keep children active in any season. We will limit the amount of time outside when the temperatures are very warm or very cold. Children will not be taken outside when the temperature (wind chill and heat index factored in) drop below 20 degrees or rise above 90 degrees. Please send your children with the proper clothing so they may be comfortable and safe whenever we are outside.  This includes snow pants, hats, mittens and boots in the wintertime and sun block in the summertime.

Child Guidance and Management

The Next Generation's philosophy on discipline is one of guidance. It is not one of punishment or physical force. We believe in the importance of developing self-discipline. We want to teach children respect for themselves and others and to show that respect. The children's rights will be respected at all times. Individual temperament, age of the child, and environmental circumstances will be considered at all times when imposing and enforcing limits on a child. The provisions of Rule 5101:2-12-22 apply to all employees.

General schedules will be followed by both pre-school and school age children when they arrive at the center. A child finds security and develops a sense of order when there is a schedule and a plan for the day. We try at all times to be flexible and to maintain a relaxed attitude toward a rigid schedule.
