Day Care
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. Our professional early childhood educators recognize and respect the needs of each child. NGCC Westford strives to hire EEC-certified teachers and actively recruits educators with a bachelor’s degree or above. Each of our teachers is encouraged to continue their education in early childhood education and to excel in his or her chosen field. Also, all full-time faculty members are certified in First-Aid, and key staff members have CPR training. *We are now offering Flexipass. With Flexi-Pass, families can purchase 5 full days of prepaid care to use one at a time or all at once. There are no registration fees, no ongoing tuition, and no long-term commitment — just trusted care at a lower per-day cost.*

At the Children's Center at Groton, we view children as competent learners who come to us with ideas and theories. It is our role as educators to facilitate learning along with them through provocations, listening, documenting and asking open-ended questions. We believe that our environments are the third educator in the classroom and as a result design spaces that are respectful, aesthetically pleasing and filled with natural elements. We love, care for, and educate children ages 6 weeks through 6 years of age. We take pride in the high teacher to student ratios at our school, choosing to exceed the required number of teachers in all classrooms. We believe this additional teacher allows us to provide the kind of curriculum and one on one attention that young children need to learn and grow successfully. Children progress through our school &quot;cohort&quot; style- further supporting essential bonds with their peers. Our four beautiful classrooms, each with their own age appropriate playground/exterior patio space accommodate each age group's individual needs.

ITC is a learning community where children from infants to school-age come together with experienced and responsive teachers to learn about themselves, each other, and the world. Focused on play-based learning, we know that children thrive when we respond to their pursuits and ideas, meet their everyday needs, challenge them both educationally and creatively and celebrate the unique contributions of each child to the group. We draw inspiration from the educators of the Reggio Emilia schools in Italy as well as theorists and practitioners such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, and Magda Gerber. Our emergent curriculum supports children as they build a foundation for academic skills through real-life situations.
