Meet Us

I have been a proud part of the Next Generation family since 2013 and I joined the Andover management team in July 2015. I have worked with all age groups from infants to 8th graders. I have a dual Bachelor's Degree from SUNY Geneseo in Special Education and Elementary Education. I also have a dual Master's Degree in Literacy and Early Childhood Education. My son will be joining the NGCC infant program this spring.

Jena has been in the Early Education field for more than 15 years; beginning as a preschool teacher in 2004. She quickly developed a passion for curriculum implementation, program management and training, which helped to guide her to management. She stepped into her first Assistant Director role in 2015 and hasn’t looked back. Jena earned her CDA through Rasmussen College in 2016 and also attended Fisher College where she received her Director II certification in 2018.
