“New Horizon Academy pays for your education!”

Tracey D., Assistant Director

Being a first time parent, it’s never easy to choose a place to send your little one when you can’t be there with them. We have had the best experience with New Horizon Academy! All the staff I have interacted with are all friendly and caring. They are very communicative and update the Procare app with multiple pictures throughout the day. It’s always a bright spot in my day to know what my baby is up to! I would recommend New Horizon Academy to anyone looking for childcare!

— Meeghan B., New Horizon Academy Andover parent

We love this place! The teachers and staff are great, and my daughter has learned far more than I ever expected from infancy to 2-years-old. I have to give a special thanks to the Andover in-house cook who goes out of her way to accommodate my daughter’s dietary restrictions, ensuring that she still enjoys meals similar to her peers. The New Horizon Academy food program is awesome and takes the stress out of trying to pack her lunch myself every day.

— Ashley W., New Horizon Academy Andover parent

I know my daughter is safe, well-cared for, and loved when she’s at daycare. I also really love the updates in the app. It’s fun to know what my little one is up to at school.

— Caitlin A., New Horizon Academy Andover parent

As both a team member and a parent, I can genuinely say this daycare is something special. My son has been here since he was an infant, and now as a toddler, I’ve watched him grow, thrive, and feel completely at home in this environment. The care, patience, and love the staff provides each day is unmatched. Being part of the team, I see firsthand how much thought goes into every detail from learning activities to emotional support and as a mom, that gives me incredible peace of mind. I’m so proud to work here and even more grateful that my son gets to grow up surrounded by such a nurturing and supportive community.

— Jocelyn S., New Horizon Academy Andover teacher and parent
