I was hesitant to send my son to daycare when he was a year old but I got pregnant again and was going to need to work to support my family. I toured one daycare before New Horizon Academy and still felt uneasy about enrolling him in a center. I went to New Horizon Academy on York Avenue for a tour and left knowing I would be putting him in this center. The staff care for him like he's their own. Now he walks into daycare and actually closes the door on me and his dad to leave! My 3 month old is also attending now and I have had no concerns! We pick them both up with clean diapers and smiles on their faces. We can’t wait to watch how they grow within this center!
