We've had our four-year-old at New Horizon Academy for over a year and we cannot say enough good things about this program! All of the teachers are warm, professional, and accommodating. In addition to the great staff, the facility is clean, bright, and full of learning toys and materials. The outdoor area is spectacular. We toured a number of childcare facilities before finding New Horizon Academy and say it is without a doubt one of the best in the Boise area.

Switching our child to attend school here has been an absolute game-changer! Our previous daycare felt like a glorified babysitter, lacking in teaching and genuine engagement. Our child was disengaged and hated going to school. Enter New Horizon Academy, and everything changed! From day one, our child comes home excited and eager for the next day. The biggest difference from our old center is the intentional effort and genuine care put in by the teachers. Our child is no longer frustrated about attending school; in fact, at dinnertime, they excitedly share stories about their day, what they are learning, and all the new friends they are making! We're very grateful to be part of the New Horizon Academy family.
