About the Provider
NeThe New Horizon Center, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c) (3) corporation licensed by the State of Wisconsin to operate a wide-range of social service programs for infants to young adults. With out-of-home care steadily increasingly and its impact being widely felt in our community, New Horizon Center took the charge and has become a premier agency to meet those growing needs. w Beginnings Child Care offers the only "Pay for what you use" child care without any penalty in the North Woods. This means that if you need one day or 5 days per week, that's what you pay for. The only thing we ask is that you let us know what you need. We take this approach because we think it's not fair to make parents pay for wanting to spend time with their children. So, stop by today and visit us, we would love to have you in our family.
