Destination Education
"I love NEXT Memphis, the idea of leveling the playing fields across the board between centers and the private or the public school system is great. It gives us all an opportunity to provide high quality childcare without breaking the bank and still making money."
Dream Academy Testimonial
“I absolutely love NEXT Memphis and am thankful to have partners in this work. It gets lonely at the top and trying to handle all things operation and curriculum/instruction gets difficult..”
Mr. Parker
"I am very pleased with the service and expertise; the Education team visits regularly to ensure our classrooms are maintaining quality staff and services."
A network of support for now. And for the future.
Every NEXT Memphis partner gets access to an entire network of support — without having to increase tuition or costs. This helps elevate everyone in the early childhood development community.
For Children
We help our partners foster safe and nurturing environments in which children can optimally grow. This leads to the healthy development of children who are kindergarten-ready educationally, socially, and emotionally.
For Families
NEXT Memphis works with each partner to ensure that every family has the resources, support, and bandwidth to engage proactively in the healthy development of their child. This can mean helping meet parents’ needs in order for them to be fulfilled in their own pursuits. This also enables directors to support their families without having to be a social worker or spend their personal savings to help families through challenges.
For Professionals
Working in early childhood education is demanding. That’s why we devote so many resources to lowering the stresses of teachers and directors while providing coaching, resources, and direct staff support needed to thrive. Our goal is to beat burnout and increase staff retention so professionals can spend more time focusing on children and families.
For Systems Leaders
The hallmarks of a high-quality early childhood education ecosystem include uniform leadership, elevated standards, and rigorous accountability. To that end, we’re helping increase compensation in the industry, fostering a more robust talent pool, and supporting regulations that further high-quality early childhood programming. This will ultimately help prepare children for school — and families for success — both now and for generations to come.
