I may be physically short, but my heart is bigger than I am. I don’t have a job – I have a passion, and that passion is being someone who kids can depend on and feel loved by when they come to New Horizon Academy every day. Two of my favorite quotes I live by are: “Life is short, be kind all the time” and “People may forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

As a first-time mom, I was nervous to send my baby girl to daycare at first. However, the Maplewood New Horizon Academy has been nothing but absolutely amazing, reassuring, compassionate, and understanding! Parents are able to message the teachers throughout the day on an app which makes communication easy. All in all, I’m very happy with my choice to send my daughter here. There’s no doubt in my mind that she is receiving the very best care from the very best teachers.
