    Our Learning Programs

    My son has been at this daycare for a year and I couldn’t be happier. He learns so much and is capable of much more than I ever expected at this age like knowing letters, using scissors, and having table manners. In addition to the excellent education and warm teachers and administrators, you cannot beat the convenience of New Horizon Academy with great hours, all food provided, and more.
