It has been a pleasure having my children at New Horizon Academy (Yankee Doodle). I love how my children’s teachers are always excited to welcome them. This center has done an amazing job keeping all the children engaged and making sure the parents are involved as well. Every time I walk into the classrooms, they are working on some activity or having group time. I know that my kids are in very good hands!
New Horizon Academy has been an amazing partner in helping my children thrive. The teachers and staff are friendly, kind, and attentive, and communication is phenomenal. I am beyond grateful that we landed with a team of caregivers who genuinely love their job.
My child has been learning so much at New Horizon Academy. She loves going to school every day and gets along well with the other children. The teachers love her, and she loves them! We recommend this childcare center!
My children have gone here for the past 12 years. We love that it is easy to get to, being right off the freeway, and that we’ve had consistent teachers and staff throughout much of our time here. The communication with staff is great and my children have all felt safe and loved, often talking about their teachers when not in school.
