Our Learning Programs

As a father of twin boys, I was always skeptical of daycares. My fiancé and I decided to take a chance on New Horizon Academy, and it’s been the best decision we’ve ever made for our kids. They’ve provided the best care for infants, toddlers, and beyond and are always attentive, especially when it comes to kids’ fun and safety. My boys have the best time here and the staff is like a second family. My kids will continue to go here until they are ready to move on to kindergarten!

— Sam I., New Horizon Academy Plymouth parent

New Horizon Academy Plymouth is amazing! My daughter is happily growing here and she loves her teachers and friends. The team is very professional and always there for me when I need them. I have nothing but good things to say about this daycare center!

— Vanessa M., New Horizon Academy Plymouth parent

We’ve enjoyed our time at New Horizon Academy in Plymouth. The staff take great care of the kids and are well organized throughout their day. We were hesitant to start preschool but I’m happy we did here. I know my son is safe and having an enriching experience. The teachers all genuinely care about their students and our little guy.

— Sabrina R., New Horizon Academy Plymouth parent

New Horizon Academy has been amazing for our family! Our son started when he was 2, and he absolutely loves going to school every day. The teachers are so supportive and genuinely care about the kids, which makes such a difference. It’s comforting to know he’s in a place where he feels happy and safe. We’re so grateful for everything they do!

— Pei H., New Horizon Academy Plymouth parent
