If you are a person of color do not bother! It was either me or my daughter that this school did not like, I took my daughter because i wanted her to have some social interactions with kids her age seeing that every person in our house was above 16. Before we started i was asked what i hoped to gain told them my child was potty training i would love for it if they continued; then i noticed on her reports she had more wet diapers than potty tries. I inquired about this they said i was layering too much! reduce the layers and now she only wore sweatpants still the same, they said the pull up i provided were not the right ones and i need to use the ones that they used. My husband got the ones that they wanted but still the wet diapers were more. when i inquired how frequent she was put on the potty i get a call telling me that my daughter is acting different crying all day and they have kids to attend too since she is not the only one. My baby was 26 months and could not be comforted when she was in distress as if they are providing me free services or they do not know the number of kids in the class. In the morning when i went to drop her off the teacher at the door completely ignored us another teacher had to come to great us. if possible i would give them 0 stars. When i went to pick my child's belonging they didn't even bother to inquiry how she was doing. Just passing by the school gives her truama so much so that she know our entire route to home she will call out the ice cream place her doctor's office mere shopping but pretend when we get to that school read more

Let me preface this by saying that taking a left-turn out of the parking lot is a giant pain but it's not worth taking off stars for. It's on Route 20. People can be really lovely and will let you out and it's certainly easier in the summer months to do the school run. Enough said. Moving on... We moved our 18 month-old here after leaving Knowledge Beginnings in Maynard after they lost him one day on the playground. He then went to another daycare for a transition period but that was shutdown due to a (very expensive) typhoid outbreak. So my son enrolled in NGCC after being at a series of schools with compliance violations from losing kids to unvaccinated staff. As an obsessive researcher of all things, I'm pleased to note that NGCC's state compliance records are gorgeous, suitable for framing. We enrolled our LO in NGCC blindly after a recommendation from another parent who left KinderCare and enrolled their LO at NGCC with great results. We loved the data and information that NGCC shared with us about development and preparation for Kindergarten. (As a mildly obsessive PhD, I love all the data and learning opportunities!) It made us feel confident that we were making a good choice for LO and that he would thrive there. I can say that after about a month at NGCC, LO loves it. I love that it's like a proper school setting with a professional front desk, excellent security, it's set back from the road, leadership is accessible, and staff seem content and loyalty is strong. The cost of care is very reasonable and I feel like I should be paying more for the services we receive as part of tuition! The facilities are wonderful, too. I feel great arriving at 4.55 or 5.00 on the dot to find a parking lot and lobby full of other working parents which was utterly absent from the KinderCare and the transitional school. There's an unspoken camaraderie among working parents which is reassuring. They give him lunch every day which has helped us expand his palate and nutritional options and also given us back some time in the evening as a family. Overall, he's sleeping better, no more mysterious bumps and bruises, if he gets a bump, someone calls me immediately, and he's just overall a happier little guy. They're so hands-on and very in-tune with child development. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NGCC to anyone and it's not surprising there's a high demand for placement there! read more

The staff here are very friendly and very good with the kids. The security at this location is very tight and reassuring. The classrooms are a good size and have lots of play options for the kids. They have a good sized playground too. The weekly fee includes snacks and meals. They even wash your child's clothes if they get dirty during the day in their laundry facility. The only one negative would be trying to make a left turn out of here during pickup. read more

My daughter has been enrolled at Next Generation - Sudbury since she was four months old, and now about to turn two. Being a first time parent, choosing a caretaker for our daughter was overwhelming. We had toured many facilities, both home and center, as well as the nanny option. As soon as we took a tour and met with the director, Alicia, we knew this is where we wanted our daughter to be. The most impressionable moment for me was when we were taking the tour, and Alicia knew every single child's name and they all would smile, wave, or run up and hug her. Many of the children were smiling and busy with activities or playing. I love that even beginning with the Infants there is a curriculum that they follow. It is incredibly assuring knowing they are developing your child in ways I personally do not think they could get elsewhere. My daughter has thrived in this environment and we truly consider the staff like family. I have confidence when I say that my daughter is in the best care possible, being provided opportunities and learning activities that even I wouldn't be able to provide myself if I had stayed home with her. I also love that there is a parent portal that they post pictures, videos, and updates to. It's so fun seeing all of the activities and projects the children are doing. If you are looking for a daycare center, with a family like environment, I highly recommend NGCC of Sudbury. The teachers, support staff, and management are amazing people that have huge hearts and care very deeply about the children enrolled. read more

Next Gen has been awesome to our kids, especially during COVID. It's great to receive pictures and updates throughout the day via the app, and my kids come back with crafts and new learnings every day. It's easy to communicate with the program managers. I'm glad we have found the NGCC community! read more

I was really disappointed by NGCC Sudbury. Though they are very reputed institute but my experience was really bad. My son has always been very excited about going to school but things were completely different at NGCC, just after one week he started refusing to go to school, it doesn't mean he didn't want to go to School but he didn't want to go to "NGCC". I tried to notice what is wrong after that. First thing, when I visited school for admission, one of the director told me that they work according to every specific child's need. I had told her that my son really loves writing, coloring etc but in 2 weeks he never ever provided a color or a sheet to write or color. When I asked what did you do, he would only tell me "nothing" I was sitting was was playing with toys. As days passed things started getting worse and he was didn't wanna go to NGCC at all. The worst is not over, I sent an email to same Director about that and I tried to meet her and talk to her but that never happened, even I did follow-ups but not the Director and finally I told them I am pulling out my son from the school and then everyone started taking that serious and the director told me that my son's teacher spoke to me in this regard but that didn't happen. I guess nothing bad can happen if the director's are so insensitive then you cannot expect anything better. Things, that I noticed when I drop or pick my son in the class I never saw any kid greeting each other. My son is crying in the class because he doesn't want to be in the school but even after seeing that teach will take at least 2 min to come and talk to him. I feel like the attitude is like till you are paying us money there is no issue, if you stop then only it's a concern, the only convincing factor for them is huge building nothing else. -vishal read more

My child attended Next Generation Children's Center, in Sudbury MA (prekindergarten Q) for approximately 3 months, during which time there were numerous health and safety code violations encountered. Despite being potty trained there were multiple occasions he would come home with feces stuck to his bottom and underwear. There was an instance where he actually pulled out a soiled underwear from his cubby with feces stuck to it. His teacher had no knowledge of what had happened and actually proceeded to reprimand him in front of me. There were other instances where I have personally witnessed feces smeared on the toilet seat in the classroom. Further, he came home with a black and blue finger that was swollen and painful to touch. When asked he mentioned that a wooden log had fallen on his finger at circle time. Yet, his teachers had no clue about the injury. Last week he fell on the playground at Next Generation Children's Center and had to be taken to Boston Children's Hospital, Emergency Room where he required stitches. I was told there were 5 teachers on the playground, yet not one of them witnessed the accident. Hence, I have no way of knowing whether he hit his head or briefly lost consciousness. I have raised these concerns regarding ongoing negligence, to name a few, with the directors and the regional director however the problems continue to recur, finally culminating in injury to my child. read more
