We have been loving New Horizon Academy for our sweet 1-year-old! Her teachers are the absolute best and have made our transition to a daycare center very easy. Our daughter has learned so much and keeps learning each and every day. My husband and I are just amazed at everything she is learning in a short amount of time. It brings us so much ease as first time parents knowing our daughter is loved by everyone and well taken care of. I wouldn’t want to send her anywhere else.
New Horizon Academy is wonderful! The teachers and staff truly care about our kids and their well-being. I love the age-appropriate learning curriculum (STEM-based) and the proactive communication (via the app and in-person during drop off and pick up). Thank you to the entire New Horizon Academy team!
All three of my kids have attended New Horizon Academy in Pella, and I could not be happier with the love and care they have received from the staff. They do a great job with the kids, and my children have learned so much from their teachers.
New Horizon Academy Pella is the best! They do so many engaging activities, and I love how I get updates during the day. We explored a variety of childcare options and are glad we chose one with such an educational and loving environment.
