Our Next Generation (ONG), an after-school (and summer) program headquartered at North 35th Street and West Lisbon Avenue, has a special relationship with Saint_John's On The Lake. It’s a two-way, crosstown relationship. On Tuesdays during the school year, the Saint_John's bus carries dedicated resident volunteers to participate in ONG’s Homework Club, which is located in what ONG president and CEO LaToya Sykes describes as “the heart of one of Milwaukee’s most challenged neighborhoods.” On Mondays, third-graders from ONG ride over to Saint_John's to participate in activities designed to boost the students’ interest in reading, and learning in general.

As part of Providence Benedictine Nursing Center, we partner together to provide an enriching intergenerational program that benefits the children and residents of the Providence Benedictine Nursing Center facilities. Licensed for 40 children, ages 6 weeks through 12 years, the center is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers part-time and full-time options for families. Our highly educated teaching staff provides a nurturing curriculum that focuses on the whole child. Students have many opportunities for hands-on learning through books, art, music and cooking. The center’s developmental philosophy is compatible with research-based guidelines developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, with attention to the holistic needs of the child, including intellectual, physical, social, emotional and creative development.
