At New Horizons Child Development Center, we are dedicated to fostering a love of learning in a supportive and enriching environment. For over 45 years, we have helped children build confidence, independence, and essential social skills through hands-on learning and creative exploration. Our goal is to provide children with developmentally appropriate experiences that encourage problem-solving, critical thinking, and positive communication. By nurturing their curiosity and self-expression, we prepare young learners for future academic and social success in a joyful, safe, and stimulating space.
Our Goals
We believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, discovery, and limitless potential. Our vision is to be a place where children develop a lifelong love of learning, strong social connections, and a healthy sense of self. At New Horizons, we foster an environment where curiosity thrives, friendships grow, and children feel empowered to explore and learn. Through engaging activities, structured readiness skills, and supportive relationships, we aim to prepare children not just for elementary school, but for a lifetime of confident learning.
Our Vision
Our mission at New Horizons is to provide a secure, creative, and stimulating environment that nurtures the whole child—emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. We believe children learn best through active exploration, and our programs are designed to help them develop confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment at their own pace. With the guidance of compassionate, well-trained educators, we create opportunities for children to engage in meaningful learning experiences that prepare them for future academic and social success. For over four decades, New Horizons has been more than just a school—it’s a community, a second home, and a place where children feel loved, supported, and ready to take on the world.
