Kind Child
Kind Child is an important part of our Ascend Curriculum and we see kindness as the cornerstone of our preschool’s culture. The goal of Kind Child is to continually improve the emotional well-being of each child in our care. We focus on the development of social-emotional skills every month and introduce character traits such as Thankfulness, a Positive Self-Image, and Friendship every two months. We want every child to feel welcome and supported at our preschool and Kind Child programming encourages both students and staff to make kindness a habit.
Our Educational Philosophy
At Next Generation Children’s Centers, we recognize that young children need much more than academic development during these precious first years of life and our Ascend Curriculum allows us to take a balanced approach to early childhood education. We want every child to be successful academically, but we also focus on social, emotional, creative, and physical development at our school.
Our approach helps your child develop self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning. We believe that children learn best through hands-on activities and we offer various indoor and outdoor learning experiences that engage your child through play. Our activities are developed from your child’s interests and abilities, so they enjoy every minute of learning.

Sabrina McKenna
Director
I have been working with children and families since 2005 in the childcare setting. I have worked in each group as a teacher. I’m Director II certified through the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, and I earned my Teacher Certifications through Becker College in Worcester. I’ve had two children attend Cadence Education schools as well: my Daughter Zoey graduated Cadence Academy in 2020 and my son, Thomas is currently in our Toddler Program and has been attending since he was 6 weeks old.
My favorite part about working with children is watching them learn new skills and knowing that my team and I had a part in helping to shape the future. I enjoy making connections with each family, and love to see children excited to tell their parents about the fun days they experience. Cadence Education is near and dear to my heart and I’m so grateful to be working for a school that embodies my own personal philosophies about Early Education and Care.
