MORE THAN CHILDCARE
At Next Gen Jr., we believe childhood should be filled with wonder, movement, discovery, and love. Every day is intentionally designed to help children grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

WHY CHOOSE NEXT GEN?
Through hands-on learning, purposeful play, and meaningful relationships, our teachers help children build confidence while preparing them for kindergarten—and beyond.
Books are woven into every part of our day. From story time and classroom libraries to language-rich conversations and our partnership with Nemours Reading Camps, we help children develop the skills and confidence that create lifelong readers.
A Literacy-Rich Environment
Growing in Love
Children thrive when they feel safe, valued, and encouraged. Our teachers build meaningful relationships with every child while helping them develop kindness, confidence, independence, and respect for others.
Learning Through Exploration
Children learn by doing. Science experiments, sensory activities, outdoor discoveries, technology, art, and real-world experiences encourage curiosity while helping children become confident problem-solvers.
Young children weren't designed to sit still all day. Daily recess, structured PE, weekly dance classes, outdoor play, and movement throughout classroom lessons keep children active while strengthening both their bodies and their minds.
Bodies in Motion
Built on Christian Values
Our partnership with Hope Church allows faith to be a natural part of each school day.
Weekly chapel encourages children to learn Bible stories, ask thoughtful questions, sing, pray, and develop an understanding of Christian values like compassion, integrity, leadership, forgiveness, and service. These lessons continue throughout the week as teachers model and reinforce them in the classroom.

NEXT GEN'S PROMISES
-
We teach intentionally
Every lesson has a purpose. Using the Frog Street curriculum, hands-on exploration, and literacy-rich instruction, we help children build confidence while developing the academic skills they'll need for kindergarten and beyond.
-
We communicate intentionally
We believe parents are a child's first teacher. Through Brightwheel, regular communication, family events, and volunteer opportunities, we build strong relationships that support every child's success.
-
We care intentionally
Learning starts with meeting children's everyday needs. Nutritious meals, caring teachers, a safe environment, and consistent routines help every child feel secure, healthy, and ready to learn.
EVERY DAY IS AN
ADVENTURE
A Warm Welcome
Children are greeted by caring teachers and begin the day settling into the classroom. As friends arrive, children ease into the morning with engaging activities, conversation, and opportunities to connect before the day begins.
Breakfast Together
The day starts with a nutritious breakfast shared with classmates. It's a chance to practice independence, build friendships, and fuel growing minds for a busy day of learning and discovery.
Morning Learning
The morning is filled with stories, early literacy, hands-on lessons, and engaging classroom centers. Through a balance of teacher-guided instruction and independent exploration, children build foundational skills while following their natural curiosity.
Move & Explore
Children head outdoors each morning for fresh air, active play, and movement. Whether they're climbing, running, playing games, or participating in organized activities, every day includes opportunities to move, explore, and simply enjoy being a kid.
Lunch Together
Lunch provides another opportunity to practice independence, enjoy healthy meals, and spend time with friends before the afternoon begins.
Rest & Recharge
After an active morning, children enjoy a peaceful rest time that allows their bodies and minds to recharge for the remainder of the day.
Afternoon Snack & Outdoor Play
Following rest time, children enjoy a healthy snack before heading back outside for more movement, imaginative play, and time to explore with friends.
Weekly Specials
Throughout the week, children look forward to enrichment opportunities like dance and chapel that bring joy, creativity, and meaningful experiences to their school days.
Wrap-Around Care
For families who need a longer school day, our wrap-around program provides a familiar, nurturing environment where children continue learning through play, outdoor activities, creative experiences, and meaningful interactions with teachers and friends until pick-up.
