My oldest (who is now 8) went here for several years and we were heartbroken to leave. The staff felt like family and my daughter was always happy, clean, and well taken care of. She learned so much to prepare her for kindergarten. I now have a toddler and am happy to see that the same director is still there! She is amazing. We will be sending our son here as well and can’t wait to be back. I toured a few other daycares closer to home since this one is a little drive for us but decided that I would much rather drive a little farther for the peace of mind that New Horizon Academy gives me! We can’t wait for our son to learn and grow here!
