I’m a foster parent and New Horizon Academy has been a dream to work with! They’ve helped in every way they can and truly love these kids like their own. My 2-year-old foster son was unable to talk when we got him at 17 months. He had a speech evaluation 1 year later and not only is he speaking, but he’s speaking at a 3-4 year-old level now! The New Horizon Academy staff in West Des Moines have been a monumental component to his growth. I am thankful we send our babies there!
