PLAY-BASED LEARNING AT NEXT KIDS

At Next Kids, we believe children learn best through play. From birth to age five, the early years are a time of rapid brain development. Our play-based environment strengthens neural connections, encourages curiosity, and nurtures problem-solving skills.

Our programs spark imagination and inspire learning through hands-on experiences. Infants explore sensory materials, toddlers enjoy interactive play spaces, and preschoolers engage in science, exploration, and creative activities—all designed to match each child’s developmental stage.

We provide a variety of materials, toys, and creative experiences that let children follow their interests, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

CREATIVE EXPRESSION AND IMAGINATIVE PLAY

At Next Kids, children explore art, music, movement, and dramatic play through hands-on, Montessori-inspired activities designed for each developmental stage.

From sensory art to role-play and group creations, every experience builds creativity, confidence, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities.

Sample activities include:

  • Painting, collage, and sculpture

  • Music and movement

  • Dramatic play and storytelling

  • Collaborative art projects

LITERALLY FOUNDATION & STORYTELLING

From tactile letters and phonics games to storytelling and dramatic play, every experience supports vocabulary growth, confidence, and a lifelong love of reading.

  • Sandpaper letter tracing

  • Phonics and letter-sound games
