At New Horizon Academy, we’re proud to partner with families during their children’s early years. Using their many years of experience, our teachers provide input and advice on everything from tantrums to toilet-training. We also seek family input at many points throughout the year, using their feedback to improve and optimize every aspect of our childcare programs.

Stay Connected Through Our Mobile App

You’ll enjoy regular updates tailored to your child’s age and classroom experience, including:

  • Memorable moments, such as smiles with teachers, hugs from friends, and classroom fun.
  • Alerts and reminders about important school events and other need-to-know information.
  • Notifications about meals, diapering or toileting, naps, and other daily routines.
  • Photos and updates about fun games, creative art projects, learning experiences, and magical moments of your child learning, playing, and growing.

Strong Partnerships with Families

Conferences

At least twice each year, you’ll meet with your child’s teacher to review their learning and progress. These conferences provide valuable insight into your child’s cognitive, social and emotional, physical, and language development, ensuring a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond!

Open Door Policy

We welcome families to be part of their child’s childcare experience! Whether you want to read a story, join for lunch, or simply pop in to observe or connect, our doors are always open to you.

Mobile App

Our teachers use a mobile app to keep you connected to your child’s day in real time. Whether you’re on your phone, tablet, or email, you’ll receive timely updates, photos, and videos that give you peace of mind throughout the day. In addition, you can send information and updates to your child’s teacher with just one tap.

Classroom Transitions

We make classroom transitions smooth and supportive. As your child prepares to move to a new age group, they’ll have time to visit their new space, meet the teachers, and adjust gradually. Parents will receive communication in advance, including what to expect, what will change, and how to prepare.

Family Fun Events

We believe in building a strong school community. Throughout the year, New Horizon Academy hosts a variety of family-friendly events, from breakfast-to-go to summer movie nights, designed to bring families together and create lasting connections.

Family Support and Resources

We’re here for your entire family. Our mental and behavioral health specialists provide in-classroom support, while our teachers and curriculum coordinators offer tools for continued learning at home. Plus, our blog and podcast answer real questions from real parents, like you.

I love the app they use to communicate checkpoints throughout the day; I truly feel like I never miss a beat. The management team is phenomenal and works hard to ensure that all families feel welcome and communicated with. I love the additional family involvement that is planned each month too. From parent nights, to food trucks, petting zoos, family cook outs, and take home crafts, there is always something to look forward to.

I love that the teachers send frequent photo updates throughout the day via the mobile app and are very responsive to messages. I also appreciate that parents can view the classroom camera from the lobby and that the facility has an open-door policy.

The director and assistant director are always responsive, communicative, and open to partnering with us. Whether it’s a quick question or a deeper conversation about things like toddler transitions, they take the time to listen and help problem-solve with warmth and professionalism.

New Horizon Academy’s communication with parents is excellent — we get updates, pictures, and insights into our child’s day, which brings us so much peace of mind.

I’ve loved New Horizon Academy because I get to know all the teachers, meet other families, and feel confident my children are getting the attention they need. I appreciate daily updates, pictures, and recaps at pick-up. The teachers build real connections with the kids and families. I also appreciate curriculum nights, chances to volunteer, and the monthly take-home activities that help us stay connected to what they’re learning.

The leadership team at New Horizon Academy is supportive and always open to new ideas. The sense of community among the staff and families is strong, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
