 Next Generation Childcare Stories

A girl, age 2½, progressed in the toddler room so well on all levels, developmentally doing what preschoolers were doing, that she became bored – keeping her progressing we moved her to the preschool room and she has really kept up with all the older children.

A boy, age 2½, has been having language difficulties. We taught him and all the other children sign language. Although he still has a language difficulty, he is able to communicate using sign language to say the basics, i.e., please, help, thank you, eat, etc. He used to sign everything, but is starting to use words and has increased his vocabulary usage. We are working with the parents and Richie McFarland Children’s Center to see that he meets all developmental goals.

An infant boy, age six months, started at the childcare center. He didn’t show any emotion, was without motor skills, and would just lie in one spot, all day long. He had wonderful foster parents, and after being here for just a few months, he had grown developmentally to the level of other infants his age. The staff worked with the parents and the boy, helping him to develop emotions, and teaching him motor skills. He caught on very quickly and soon became engaged in play. He is now age four. The parents adopted him, and the mother had another baby. She is caring for the two children at home, but still stops by and shares his progress with the staff on a regular basis.

Next Generation Testimonials

“Childcare “shopping” – it’s got to be one of the worst jobs a new, full-time, working parent has to do!  After seeing and talking to a handful of centers, my heart grew heavy with anxiety. Then my husband’s friend recommended Next Generation.  My husband called the center to schedule a visit and was convinced this was the place to go. From the very first conversations and visit, the director and staff eased my heavy heart. They were so receptive to our concerns. My first impression was that it the center was very small, but it turned out that it was exactly the type of environment that was best for me and my baby. 
      The teachers are friendly, knowledgeable, and open to any changes you may want to try as your child grows and develops.  They always have a story to tell you about your child’s day and they are very supportive of one another. It is a great relief to go to work and not worry about what the day will be like for my son.  I know he is smiling, eating, playing with a clean diaper, watching the other kids, socializing, and simply being loved. Thank you to all the staff at Next Generation...it is not an easy job, but they are truly great at what they do!”

"You have all been so wonderful to our girls! It’s going to be nearly impossible to replace the care, love, and friendship that we all have received from Next Generation. Thank you for giving our girls a terrific start to their lives."

"I would like to thank you and your staff for taking such excellent care of Ella during her time at Next Generation. We were very wary of putting Ella in childcare at first, but you and your staff made this a very positive and rewarding experience for us. Though Next Generation is not replaceable, we hope to be able to find the same quality care in Pennsylvania."
