Description: Childhood is a time of delight, curiosity, and exploration of the world around us. New Horizon Learning Center believes in providing a high quality, safe, fun and enriching environment for children. Our programs emphasize individual attention, reflecting the needs, interests, developmental level and personality of each child.
At New Horizon Learning Centers, our warm, loving, professional staff guides each child to achieve his/ her greatest potential-intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally. We provide direction, age-appropriate activities and materials, and exposure to a wide variety of fun, stimulating experiences.
Our goal is to give each child the ability to develop a positive self-image, inner confidence, and a life-long love of learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
