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!

As a grandmother picking up 3 children, I was so grateful when Miranda, one of the teachers offered to help bring the kids to the car. Such a godsend. I appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff as well as the quality of the care and education for my grandchildren

I started working at NGCC when I was 18 years old and was warmly welcomed by all the staff and directors. After trying out nannying for a few years, I returned to Next Gen because of the positive environment, my great co-workers, and the awesome management team whose first priority is encouraging a positive learning environment for every child in the building. Now, I have the privilege of enrolling my first baby girl into the infant program this fall and I can’t wait for her to thrive in her new classroom with some of the most nurturing teachers I know!

The team at NGCC Walpole is amazing. The teachers are incredibly dedicated to their students and care for them as if they were their own children. The management team is always helpful and friendly, yet unafraid to be upfront and honest with you when needed (a fresh change from so many places that are just constant yay-sayers). They regularly send out communications over weekends and after hours to give updates on things around the school, showing that they are taking time away from their own lives to make sure the families at the Center are getting the updates they need.

Next Generation Walpole is simply an amazing place for a preschooler to thrive and learn by play. As working parents, we had the peace of mind knowing that our child is where he is loved, respected and engaged emotionally, socially and academically. There are some of the most dedicated and loving teachers and staff here. The school staff are very professional and constantly communicate with parents through emails and in person meeting, if there is any question or concern. The preK program is strong academically and develops artistic creativity in the children. Children have lots of outdoor time in a spacious wooded yard. The playground can use more updated equipment. The building and classrooms are modern, well lit and clean and located in a very nice wooded/residential area (I’m going to miss driving to this place everyday).All in all, I would highly recommend this school for their exceptional quality of care and education. Thank you and we will miss you NGCC Walpole!

My son went to NGCC since infant through Pre-K. We recently moved on to Kindergarten & that transition has made me realize even more how much appreciation our family has for NGCC Walpole. A kindergarten transition is hard, and I knew it would be a change but I didn’t expect it to be as hard or as much of a transition than it has been and simply put, it’s because we had it SO GOOD at NGCC.Curriculum wise, NGCC did a great job preparing him - he’s doing great in that. The important difference is in the way they taught curriculum as well as life/social skills. I realize now what a hard job it was to balance the needs of your staff & put the children AND their parents at the center of everything you do. The level of transparency & communication was exactly what a parent looks for.In short, we miss NGCC, the staff, and the relationships made there. Thank you for making it what it is.

Our experience at Next Generation in Walpole was incredible. Our son began attending as an infant and moved up to the toddler program as he got older. All of his teachers were wonderful, caring and responsive. They were very respectful of our requests, and they were all clearly invested in our son. The directors and administrative staff were incredible as well. Our son had some health issues during his time there and I cannot say enough about how amazing everyone was in helping him and us during that time. They became like an extended family to us. They also did a great job with cleaning protocols and managing pandemic-related challenges. The facility itself is clean, bright, and safe. Next Generation Walpole is a caring, supportive, nurturing program where children can thrive, and families are supported.

I can't overstate how wonderful this place is. As an employee and a parent of kids who went through the program, everyone is always so welcoming and professional.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say. I chose to bring my daughter to NGCC Walpole 3 years ago because of some not so great experiences elsewhere, and I could not have made a better choice. She has been through infant, toddler and now preschool and has learned so much in that time. She has made so many friends over the years and knows every teacher, who are always so kind to her and make her feel so special and loved. The management team is very quick and responsive to all my questions and have been very accommodating towards any of our needs. I love the learning curriculum and they provide all the snacks and lunch which is great for me. I love getting photos of her all throughout the day on my kid report as well, it adds a very special touch and makes me feel so comfortable knowing she is having a great time at school. Thank you NGCC Walpole you are the best!!

We absolutely love NGCC Walpole! We converted to daycare after several years with in home care and we had been nervous about what to expect, but from the moment we first spoke to the NGCC team they put us at ease. Every single staff member is so warm and caring, and we have seen our daughter blossom and thrive since starting at NGCC. You can tell that this isn't work to the team members, they truly care about each kiddo and their development/learning. The facilities are clean, bright, and well equipped, and the team goes above/beyond in ensuring the facility is safe for those kiddos with food allergies (our daughter has several allergies). We receive weekly curriculum updates and I am in awe at how much our daughter has learned over the past year. I highly recommend NGCC Walpole to anyone looking for child care and/or preschool.

Both of my children were enrolled with NGCC since they were infants, and our family has spent a combined total of eight years at this location. It's a testament to the fantastic management team and caring teachers. The large facility caught our eye from Route 109, and we toured it and fell in love with the bright, colorful space; the cleanliness; and the care and professionalism we received from everyone we met with. You can tell the staff and teachers are happy here because turnover is low compared to similar childcare facilities. My children are three years apart, and my youngest child had the opportunity to have some of the same teachers as her sibling. It's the type of place where the staff and teachers know your name, they know your child, and it truly feels comforting to leave your child in a safe space where they learn so much. I also appreciate how quickly NGCC was able to pivot during the pandemic last year, and still provide consistent, safe, and "normal-feeling" care for our family. We will miss NGCC fondly but I know my youngest child will be fully prepped academically and socially for Kindergarten, just as my oldest was. Thank you NGCC for everything you've done for the Silvia family, we appreciate you!

Our kids have been at NGCC for four years and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made for them. The management team is incredibly thoughtful. We’ve had a very collaborative relationship since the beginning - and that’s been essential to navigating all the things that come up with young kiddos. They’re quick to respond to any phone call or email and are always willing to game plan on any of my concerns. They’ve also done an exceptional job managing COVID. We’ve felt completely safe sending the kids since they reopened back in July.The teachers and staff are also truly special at NGCC. My kids love their teachers and have learned so much from them. Each classroom has a curriculum they work through and we see tremendous progress throughout the year. My oldest is exceptionally prepared for kindergarten and my youngest runs into school with a huge smile every day.They’re better kids, and we’re a better family, for having the team at NGCC in our lives. I highly recommend them to any family considering daycare.

We have been part of the NGCC Walpole family since September, 2020. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to become part of such a wonderful organization. My 4 yr old has grown so much in so many ways over the past 6 months. She is more articulate, more confident in her knowledge of shapes, numbers and letter identification, more imaginative and more socialized than ever. She learns through play and wonderful examples set by the mission of the center. NGCC embodies all of the values that families appreciate - empathy, friendship, respect for others, individuality, creativity and kindness. She enjoys going to school each day and truly loves her teachers and classmates! I continue to be impressed with all of the staff at NGCC. I am excited to watch my preschooler grow into a confident and intelligent Kindergartener in the next year and a half. Thank you thank you to NGCC Walpole for being simple awesome!!!

I would highly recommend this school to any family considering daycare for their little one(s)! My daughter (and first child) was born in May 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Originally, she was supposed to attend a different local center, however last minute was not able to due to staffing constraints brought on by COVID. My husband and I had to scramble last minute to not only find a center with availability, but one we could feel comfortable enough sending our child to without a tour – a very difficult task! Upon meeting the front office staff and the women who would be my daughter’s teachers, we felt right at home! Everyone was so welcoming and spent so much time answering all our questions, especially around what they were doing to help keep our daughter safe. They were even accommodating enough to let us see her classroom through the window (it was better than nothing!). Through all of COVID, the school has been great at providing updates on policies and have balanced safety and comfort as best as possible. My daughter has thrived at her school and, in retrospect, I am so happy our first center fell through. Not only do my husband and I love everyone at NGCC Walpole, but so does my daughter – when we ask her in the morning if she wants to go to school, she immediately runs to the door to get in the car! She has an incredible bond with her teachers, and it is clear they are invested in her development and love her dearly! I am now expecting our second child (due in December) and where we will send him to school is not even a question – NGCC Walpole will be a part of our family for years to come!
