About Us

Melynda DeWitt is the sole owner and principle officer of The Next Generation Child Development Center, Inc., serving as the Administrator and Facility Operation Manager.

Mrs. DeWitt has both the educational background and relevant work experience necessary to effectively perform the duties required of an administrator of a childcare center.  She holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology from Fairmont State College.  During her college education, Mrs. DeWitt studied developmental appropriate practices and various family/child issues.  She then spent 10 years in the field of social work managing transitional residential facilities for homeless individuals with mental illness.  Mrs. DeWitt also has experience in staff training and management, rapid responses to changing environments, and rent collections.  Additionally, Mrs. DeWitt provided personal development and counseling for the residents to improve their self-esteem through simple daily living skills such as laundry, cooking, personal hygiene, and interpersonal relationships.  Furthermore, Mrs. DeWitt has extensive knowledge of government regulation and policy in regard to operations of state-licensed facilities.

This unique combination of social work and business experience possessed by Mrs. DeWitt provides the necessary balance to operate a profitable childcare center, but the most important quality that she brings to TNG is the dedication to providing a safe, caring, yet stimulating environment for children to grow both mentally and physically.

TNG is fortunate to have received many accolades and recommendations from the parents of the children in our care. Below is a link to testimonials from a few of these parents.
