As a first-time mom, I was nervous to send my baby girl to daycare at first. However, the Maplewood New Horizon Academy has been nothing but absolutely amazing, reassuring, compassionate, and understanding! Parents are able to message the teachers throughout the day on an app which makes communication easy. All in all, I’m very happy with my choice to send my daughter here. There’s no doubt in my mind that she is receiving the very best care from the very best teachers.
