New Horizon Academy is head and shoulders above other daycares in the area. Between the facilities, the staff, the food quality, and the overall experience, there is too many good things to share. I will say this: my child has never been happier. Every day, I receive countless pictures of her getting the best care from her teachers, laughing and playing with her friends, and enjoying everything the facilities have to offer, from outdoor equipment to unique indoor activities that keep her engaged, active, and learning. New Horizon Academy is, hands down, the best daycare in Dubuque.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with New Horizon Academy! Our son has truly grown since starting here. The staff has been incredibly supportive, especially with potty training. We also love how many STEM activities they offer, which keep him engaged and curious. It’s clear they care deeply about each child’s development. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to send your children — nurturing, educational, and fun!
I love NHA! The level of care that my infant receives, from the teachers to the facility itself, is truly amazing. I get constant updates through the app with photos, and we stay connected about any milestones or new ways my son is expressing himself. They work with me to adjust feedings or schedules as needed, and whenever something comes up, they always keep me informed. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of care provided!
As a grandmother of 9 and a great-grandmother of 2, it is vital and imperative that my loved ones receive the care they deserve. New Horizon Academy is dedicated to providing quality care and love, two of the most important influences on my grandchildren’s future. New Horizon Academy has truly put the “care” back in daycare, setting a standard that is hard to match elsewhere. Thank you, New Horizon Academy!
