Say goodbye to diaper costs! New Horizon Academy will provide FREE diapers in all infant classrooms, beginning in January 2025! 👶🎉

We understand how busy life can be for parents of babies and small children. With a goal of making our families' lives easier, we're providing free diapers to infants enrolled at our schools, in addition to the wipes, infant food, solid food, whole milk, and bottles that were already included in infant tuition. Parents will now only have to bring any specific formula or breastmilk, if desired - making the morning routine that much easier!

New Horizon Academy is honored to partner with parents and families during this crucial stage in their children's growth and development. Schedule a tour to see our beautiful buildings and learn more about our accredited childcare programs.
