Infants

Babies are learning machines! Infants are born with billions of neurons in their brains and amazing potential to learn about the world all around them. Our program is focused on helping babies make important learning connections so they can grow, develop and reach their potential. An early emphasis on brain development will help students throughout their entire lives, leading to other benefits like better problem-solving, increased literacy, and higher test scores.

Toddlers

Toddlers love exploring the world around them, and there’s so much to learn here! Their developing brains crave constant stimulation, as anyone who’s tried to entertain a toddler on a rainy day can tell you. We provide appropriate educational stimulation to our toddlers.

Infants

New Horizon Academy’s infant classrooms offer a warm, nurturing environment where babies thrive through daily exploration and discovery. Each space is thoughtfully designed to support individual developmental milestones with personalized care, including activities like singing, reading, sign language, and gentle yoga. Our teachers use a research-based curriculum with monthly themes to create individualized lesson plans that promote growth across all early learning domains—from motor skills to social-emotional development. With a strong focus on parent partnerships and responsive care, babies are supported in both their learning and emotional well-being from the very start.

Toddlers

Our toddler classrooms are energetic and engaging environments where little ones are encouraged to explore, move, and express themselves. Teachers foster growing independence and self-esteem through hands-on activities, daily routines, and nurturing support. Designed with zones like Creative, Active and Busy, Calm and Cozy, and Welcoming and Routines, each classroom helps toddlers master key skills in STEAM, fine and gross motor development, social relationships, and more. Carefully balanced routines and learning experiences help children build confidence as they proudly declare, “I did it myself!”
