About Next Generation Children’s Center Preschool in Walpole

Next Generation Children’s Centers (NGCC) is committed to providing quality care for children from Infancy through School-Age. We have 10 private preschools throughout Massachusetts, and our Walpole, MA childcare center is here to serve your needs.

Our childcare center offers:

  • 24 spacious classrooms with child-sized bathrooms
  • A private infant wing with heated floors and a gross motor skills room
  • Two indoor play spaces and a covered outdoor play area
  • Three large playgrounds that appeals to a diverse range of ages
  • A performing arts room for dramatic play
  • A STEAM room
  • A commercial kitchen. We offer breakfast, lunch, and three healthy snacks daily

Our Philosophy

We believe in the development of the “Whole Child.” At NGCC Walpole’s all-day preschool, we want every child to be successful academically and to be comfortable with who they are within their community. We focus on areas of growth, including:

  1. Social
  2. Emotional
  3. Physical
  4. Cognitive

We believe that children learn best through hands-on activities and we offer plenty of diverse indoor and outdoor learning experiences that engage your child through play. Our early childhood center’s “Whole Child” approach helps your child develop self-esteem and a love of learning. As such, our preschool programs are developed from your child’s interests and abilities, so your child learns as they play.

Our Childcare & Preschool Programs:

  • Infant Childcare (6 weeks – 15 months) – A childcare program that ensures the transition away from home is smooth and joyful experience.
  • Toddler Daycare (15 months – 36 months) – As part of our Toddler Daycare program, our skilled teachers help engage young explorers with an interactive, hands-on curriculum.
  • Preschool (3 – 4 years) – Preschool is an exciting stage in a child’s development. This preschool program is focused on thoroughly preparing students for Pre-Kindergarten.
  • Pre-Kindergarten (4 – 5 years) – Our experienced Pre-Kindergarten teachers help lead a well-designed preschool curriculum designed to lay the foundation for success in learning.
  • Kindergarten Club (4 – 5 years) – This program takes place during the last year of preschool and is available to help students feel more comfortable with their transition into Kindergarten.
  • Summer Program (5 – 8 years) – Each summer we offer a safe, fun and educational summer program with an exciting new theme.

Sigh…my youngest just graduated from Next Gen and is headed to Kindergarten. I had two kiddos spend their youngest years growing up here. I don’t even know how to express how much gratitude to feel for the NGCC family… Ms Katie, Ms Sam, Ms Sam (2), Ms Ciara, Ms Kim, Ms Jess, Ms Cailyn, Ms Andrea, Ms Audrey and, of course, Ms Nancy (I know I’m missing others and my apologies for that!) I truly don’t know what to say other than every year I reflect back on the year and think about how grateful I am for the teachers that loved and nurtured my children during some incredibly formative years of their lives. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the director staff - Paula, Shannon, Erin and Jess. Man, I don’t know what I would have done without them all. What an incredible team who hired incredible teachers, guided parents and led a top notch program. I’m so so grateful that my kids went to Next Gen and cannot recommend them enough. (Not having to pack snack or lunch was a HUGE plus too!)

I’m so happy I found this school. The staff and teachers are well worth the cost of tuition. They’re incredibly kind and knowledgeable people. I have two girls (4 & 2) enrolled in the school and they have been with Next Gen since they were newborns. They’ve become like family!
