The Value Of Preschool

At New Horizons, our programs are structured to provide the children with a quality program in which they can develop cognitively, socially, physically, and emotionally. To benefit from this type of program, it's important for them to be present for all of the activities. In most cases, the first activity of the day is circle time, followed by learning centers. While we understand that parents will not always able to do so, we do encourage everyone to have their child to the center by 8:30a.m. so that they don't miss any of the learning time.
