New Horizon Academy has been caring for and educating young children since 1971, and we are proud to be growing in the Treasure Valley. Our six Boise and Meridian locations welcome children from six weeks through school-age with a research-based curriculum built around literacy, STEAM, social-emotional learning, and kindergarten readiness. Your child is known here: by name, by what makes them laugh, by how their day is really going. With low ratios and daily photo and activity updates in our parent app, you'll see it too, often before you've even pulled into the parking lot. Schedule a tour at the location closest to you.
Childcare is one of the biggest expenses a family faces, and it should never be the reason a child misses out on early education. The Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) helps income-eligible families cover the cost of licensed care at New Horizon Academy. The application takes just a few minutes, and our directors will walk you through every step.
