We have absolutely loved our time (4 years and counting) at New Horizon Academy - Best Buy! The staff are all so knowledgeable and well trained. I’ve felt so comfortable leaving my daughters with them since day one and know they take great care of them. The directors are so approachable along with all of the teachers to help talk through any transitions or issues. I’ve had many conversations with them all even just about what I can do better as a parent and have felt very supported through every conversation about my girls. I can't think of a better place to start the learning and development of my girls than here!
