Overview

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.

We wholeheartedly recommend NGCC to any family looking for a nurturing and well-managed daycare center. Our son transferred here from a nearby chain daycare, and the difference in quality has been remarkable. From the start, we've been impressed by the professionalism and stability of NGCC's leadership. Even during challenging times like the pandemic, the staff remained consistent and reliable—a rare quality in the childcare industry. The teachers at NGCC are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's well-being. They go above and beyond to pay attention to individual needs, and we regularly see positive, engaged interactions between teachers and children during pick-up—something we rarely experienced at our previous daycare, where teachers often seemed disengaged. Communication with families is another area where NGCC truly shines. The staff is always willing to partner with parents to address any concerns or habits that need improvement, and their advice has always been thoughtful and professional. Most importantly, whenever we’ve needed to get in touch with someone, we’ve been able to reach a responsive and responsible staff member or administrator who quickly helped resolve the issue. We are deeply grateful to have found NGCC, and we highly recommend it to any family seeking a safe, caring, and well-run environment for their child.

My two children have both had the most amazing infant experience at NGCC. Pam and Sarah are one of a kind. My children have grown beyond my greatest expectations and I believe it is because of the dedication Sarah and Pam bring to the children and their classroom everyday. Trusting a stranger with your infant is a very hard thing to do but they are in the best hands at NGCC ❤️

We have had a fantastic experience with NGCC Westford and couldn't be happier with the care our son has received. From the moment we enrolled, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. The teachers are nurturing and create a safe, engaging environment where children can learn and grow. Our son looks forward to his days there, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about his development. The daily activities are both fun and educational, and we love seeing the progress he’s made in terms of social skills, language, and overall confidence. The communication between the daycare and parents is excellent, with regular updates and pictures, which makes us feel involved in his day-to-day experiences. Overall, we are extremely grateful for NGCC Westford and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and enriching daycare for their child’s.

NGCC is an EXCEPTIONAL daycare! My husband and I were extremely hesitant about putting our daughter in daycare. After speaking with many friends and family we finally were convinced. BEST decision we ever made! Kim and Debbie the directors have been extremely supportive and helpful throughout the beginning process. I honestly, don't recognize my daughter since she has started. She has developed so much!! Compliments to all her teachers Mrs. Niesha, Pam, Kim, Yinera, and Emily. All the faculty are absolutely AMAZING! Truly kind, loving and caring. They treat every child like their own. When I drop her off I'm at peace that she's in good hands. My daughter has not came home with a diaper rash and is always happy every time at pick and drop off. Also, NGCC serve warm cooked meals every day to the kids by Mr. Roberts which they all love! That's one less stress to deal with. I ABSOLUTELY would recommend NGCC to anyone looking for childcare! You won't regret it!
