    Our Learning Programs

    Our infant currently attends the New Horizon Academy Corcoran location, and I can wholeheartedly say that our family loves everything about this school. As you walk through the doors, you immediately feel welcomed. Each classroom looks pristine and is filled with developmentally appropriate materials. The teachers are amazing, and you can tell they genuinely care about all the children. They prioritize safety and meaningful interactions. I appreciate the timely communication throughout the day from both of my daughter’s teachers and the management team. Overall, New Horizon Academy has made my family’s first experience in a school setting feel like a seamless transition, and we are constantly reminded why we chose this school – it’s the perfect fit for our family!

    — Lexi L., New Horizon Academy Corcoran parent

    We recently transferred from a larger preschool to New Horizon Academy. My 3-year-old is loving it already! I am so impressed with the curriculum and all the new things my daughter has learned in just a couple weeks. The teachers are caring and provide one-on-one support when needed. NHA Corcoran has a great team and facility!

    — Neha M., New Horizon Academy Corcoran parent

    We recently moved our daughter here from another local daycare, and have been blown away with the level of communication, patience, and quality of care at New Horizon Academy. The director and assistant director are always available, and it is clear they know what is going on within their facility each day, which is very comforting! The teachers are all extremely sweet and clearly love what they do! As a first time mom, they have exceeded my expectations with doing art, going on walks, reading books, and teaching sign language. I love how even with infants, they make a point to get them out of the room and into different environments. It is clear they enjoy interacting with the babies, and accommodate to each child’s needs. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for infant care!

    — Lynesha M., New Horizon Academy Corcoran parent

    Our girl is ready for kindergarten after a successful time at New Horizon Academy in Corcoran! Beautiful location, warm environment, awesome caring teachers and staff.
