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!
I love this childcare center! The teachers and staff are amazing. My sons love them and are very happy here. Thanks New Horizon Academy!
My kids go to the York Ave New Horizon Academy and I love it! The teachers are awesome and the director is amazing. I’m so glade they transferred to this school! I also love the indoor gym they have in this facility as well!
Terrific academy! The staff members are all so wonderful. I love the feeling of being able to trust them with my kid. He absolutely loves attending this school. Almost every morning he gets really excited to show up at the front doors. I strongly recommend the New Horizon Academy off York Ave.
