We LOVE the New Horizon Academy in Meridian! Our daughter has been to many daycares in her short life and this has been the best by far! There is an app where your child’s teacher will send you multiple pictures throughout the day. They record how many times your child’s diaper was checked and changed, they inform you when your child begins and ends their nap, and they update you on what your child is eating at meal/snack times and how much they ate. I cannot say enough good things about this fantastic daycare. 10/10 would recommend!
This is one of the most well-run daycares in the Treasure Valley. The staff here are very professional and caring. I recommend anyone in need of childcare to start at New Horizon Academy.
We love New Horizon Academy, and we are so grateful to the teachers and staff who have now become a part of our family! We would be lost without all of you. Thank you for taking such great care of our son for over two years! New Horizon Academy was our first “home” when we moved here, and it has been wonderful to see how much our son has grown and thrived here. Knowing he is safe and cared for in your hands was such a needed relief. You work endlessly, and your hard work and enthusiasm for every child are incredible!
When we started at New Horizon Academy, we were super nervous about transitioning to a daycare setting, but the staff here quickly made it easy and enjoyable. My child has been in the one’s room for the past year and absolutely LOVES it—she gets excited when we pull in every day. All of the teachers we’ve experienced have been wonderful. She runs to them each morning, which gives me confidence knowing my child is happy and with someone she knows and trusts. Thank you, New Horizon Academy Meridian, for providing my child with a safe environment to learn and grow while we are at work!
