A Loving Start

The infant classrooms at New Horizon Academy are places where babies can grow and learn every day by exploring and making new discoveries.

Free Diapers Included with Enrollment

Beginning January 2, 2025, we are including diapers with infant enrollment! We understand how busy life is for parents of young children, especially newborns. Our goal is to make your family’s experience in the infant classroom as positive as possible by adding conveniences that support your family. Providing diapers is just one of the ways we aim to make your day a little easier.

A Warm Welcome

Each morning your baby’s teacher will warmly greet you and your baby. You will have an opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher to ensure a smooth transition from home to school.

Hugs, Snuggles, and Cuddles

A loving environment is one of the most important components of your baby’s day. The day will be filled with hugs, snuggles, cuddles, and tender, responsive care.

Story Time, Sign Language, and Teacher-Guided Activities

Your baby will develop language, communication, and cognitive skills as teachers read stories, use sign language, and engage your child in many fun activities.

Infant Teacher PhotoOur commitment to early learning and education begins in our infant learning program with the partnership between our teachers and parents.

  • Together, you and your child’s teachers develop a daily schedule that meets the individual needs of your baby.
  • This important, trusting relationship continues as your baby grows and continues to develop. Very young children thrive in an environment, like ours, that is especially responsive to individual needs.
  • Our loving teachers will nurture your baby with kind words, warm smiles, and gentle touches to assure optimum opportunities for development.

Using monthly themes from our research-based infant curriculum, our teachers create individualized lesson plans to provide developmentally appropriate and engaging activities to support learning in all domains:

We understand that babies thrive in an environment that is especially responsive to individual needs.

  • In the infant classrooms, you will see teachers singing songs, cuddling, reading stories, engaging in conversation, using sign language, doing yoga, and playing with our babies.
  • This “play time” is an integral part of every day to help each baby learn and grow.
  • Our beautiful classrooms are designed to meet the unique and individual needs of each baby as they continue to reach each developmental milestone.

Each day, you will receive updates through a mobile app which allows our teachers to share information as needed, send messages, and delight you with photos and videos. You are also welcome to use it to send your child’s teacher a message.

Our infant is enrolled at New Horizon Academy, and it's been a better experience than we ever could have imagined! The teachers treat our child like one of their own, and we know he is so well cared for. They actively support his social and physical development through an intentional and purposeful curriculum, and we love receiving daily updates and photos of all the adventures he is having at school. We are so grateful for all they do!

Frequently Asked Questions

Children in our infant classrooms are typically between 0-12 months old, though transition timing can vary.

New Horizon Academy tuition is carefully determined by all of the factors that are included in providing a premier service. Those variables include:

  • Location
  • Age and number of children enrolled
  • Days per week daycare is needed

 

Because childcare costs are dependent on these unique circumstances, there is no fixed price that is universally applicable to all families. The New Horizon Academy in your community is the best resource for information regarding the care and services offered. Our director will meet with you to learn about the individual desires of your family and help offer solutions that best meet your needs. You can reach your local director by phone, email, or scheduling a tour.

Yes! Families are welcome to visit their baby in the infant classroom at any time in the school day.

We really enjoy New Horizon Academy! Our little babe is in one of the infant rooms, and the teachers are fantastic! As a first-time parent, I was initially nervous leaving my daughter with someone new, but the teachers do such a great job communicating throughout the day, sharing pictures, and loving her as if she were their own. Our baby smiles every time she sees her teachers at drop-off!

A Glimpse into Our Infant Classroom

Our son has been in the infant classroom at New Horizon Academy, and as a new mom with so many fears, I'm thrilled to say I have no fears about leaving him with this wonderful group! It truly feels like family there, and I'm so impressed with all of the amazing activities my son has experienced. The multitude of pictures and the teachers' attention to detail in his well-being show how much they genuinely care about my son as an individual and about us as a family.
