I would highly recommend the New Horizon Academy in Woodbury! I have 2 kids who go there and they learn so much and have so much fun. The whole toddler staff is amazing with my spunky 1 year old. If you’re looking for reliable, clean, and safe daycare for your child, you should call New Horizon Academy!

— Jane G., New Horizon Academy Woodbury parent

My son loves this school and I would recommend it to any parent looking for daycare. It is hard to find a center that’s a good fit for your child but my son loves it here! I love the daily communication app with pictures and almost hourly updates on my child. It makes me feel safe and secure knowing he is doing well. My son looks forward every day to go to school and that means a lot.

— Mary M., New Horizon Academy Woodbury parent

I highly recommend New Horizon Academy in Woodbury. I knew this was the right place for my kids as many of the staff have been there for years. The directors and all the staff are warm and welcoming, which makes dropping off my children easy even on the tough days. I know that they are having a great day every day by the multiple updates I receive on the app throughout the day. I cannot thank them enough for being a true extension to our family!
