Best decision I made for daycare! My daughter has been going to the Blaine location since she was an infant, and she just turned 5. It has been great. The center is ALWAYS clean, the kids are always happy, and the staff is always friendly. Not one day have I been worried about leaving my daughter there, or been concerned about the care she is receiving. I am kept up to date each day on the fun activities they are doing, what they are eating, and the new things they are learning. This center is full of staff who truly want to be there and love their jobs, and it really shows. I would 1000% recommend this location to anyone looking for quality care for their children.
We love this place so much! I was so worried about sending my kids to daycare when I could no longer be a stay at home mom, but choosing New Horizon Academy Blaine has been one of the best things I’ve done for my kids. They learn so much, have so much fun, and the teachers treat and love my kids like their own. They are helpful, friendly, and very accommodating to how you want your child cared for.
The staff at New Horizon Academy Blaine have been a core foundation in providing a safe and nurturing environment where our children have been able to grow and develop. My family has been so incredibly impressed at each developmental stage in life. The teachers have always helped us navigate new adventures like potty training and classroom transitions with ease. We did explore alternative options, but the level of care, detail, and quality offered at NHA Blaine is unable to be beat. Even with the school being larger than an at home facility, every teacher knows my child’s name, interests, and is always willing to give them a hug.
Our son started in New Horizon Blaine when he was 3 and loved it from the get go. He’s now in kindergarten and still talks about his teachers and friends there. The staff is very organized and genuinely caring and friendly. As parents, we especially appreciated the regular communication from all the teachers and directors! Thank you NHA for a great early education experience!
