As a first-time mom, I was nervous to send my baby girl to daycare at first. However, the Maplewood New Horizon Academy has been nothing but absolutely amazing, reassuring, compassionate, and understanding! Parents are able to message the teachers throughout the day on an app which makes communication easy. All in all, I’m very happy with my choice to send my daughter here. There’s no doubt in my mind that she is receiving the very best care from the very best teachers.
I love how the Maplewood teachers and staff make me and my children feel like part of their family.
I love that the staff refer to all the children as friends, creating an environment where kids feel comfortable and everyone has a friend. They include parents in the activities through family photos and invites to after-school activities. I’m so grateful for everyone there who helps give me peace of mind when I have to work. I know my babies are in great hands at New Horizon Academy.
New Horizon Academy has played a big part in my daughter’s life. I am extremely thankful for not only for the center, but for the staff. Keep up the good work, Maplewood!
