We love having our baby at the New Horizon Academy in Columbia Heights. After touring a number of daycare centers, it was easy to choose this location because the director and her team are very warm and welcoming, and we really feel like they love to care for our daughter. They made going back to work incredibly easy because they worked to build trust from the beginning.
