Next Generation Children's Centers Photo - Our Infant program provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for the littlest ones in our care. This specially designed setting, along with our caring teachers, will work cooperatively with you to nurture your baby through all their early stages of development. We provide continuity of care between your home and our classrooms by partnering with parents and developing a strong understanding of each child鈥檚 individual needs. NGCC developed our own curriculum for infants called Baby Steps which will guide your child through each developmental stage, such as sitting up, crawling, walking, 鈥渢alking鈥, as well as activities such as art projects, baby sign language, singing songs and opportunities for exploring their world. Doggie and Kitty are our program mascots that help teachers bring stories and learning to life!
