Testimonials

On 10/12/2025 Jennifer Louzon had this to say:
I can't say enough good things about generation next. Ms Tanya, Ms Danny and all the teachers really care about the children. They are flexible with aftercare. The children learn, make projects and have fun. I loved seeing all the crafts and was amazed how much they could get done in a day . I always knew my daughter was well cared for. I was really worried about my daughter for kindergarten as she can be overall emotional. Generation next prepared her so well. the first standardized test she took in kindergarten she scored in the 99th percentile. She also didn't want to leave generation next she kept asking to go back, I had to sign her up for a week of camp when I was home.

On 7/3/2025 Kristina McWilliams had this to say:
Generation Next has been an absolute blessing for our family! My son attends preschool here during the school year, and both my son and daughter go to the summer camp, and we couldn’t be happier. Miss Tanya is truly one of a kind. She is SO amazing with the kids, her energy, creativity, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. Every week, I’m blown away by the thoughtful crafts and fun activities the children do. From themed projects to hands-on learning, there is never a dull moment. Miss Tanya and all the other teachers always go above and beyond to make each day special and meaningful for the kids. One of the most touching parts of the year is the binder you receive at the end of the school year. It’s filled with your child’s artwork, photos, and memories from their time in class—it’s something I will treasure forever. I can’t say enough good things about this school. Generation Next is more than just a preschool or summer camp, it’s a warm, nurturing, and enriching place where children truly thrive. HIGHLY recommend!!

This is truly an amazing preschool! The teachers are very interactive with the students and really do prepare the children for kindergarten. My daughter was reading once she left this school and tested into the high ability ELA program at her kindergarten for the following year. Thank you Generation Next!!

On 6/12/2020 The Munoz Family had this to say:
Thank you Generation Next for all you did for our little ones throughout the school years and throughout this difficult time. We appreciated your time and great efforts in keeping our children engaged through social media. Nicolas really enjoyed the story books, experiment, and especially the BINGO game. Our family holds GN in our hearts leaving beautiful memories with all 3 of our children: Gabriela, Sofia, and Nicolas. Thank you again, we love you all, and stay safe!
