New Horizons Child Development Center

"She is excellent and listen to your needs"

"New Horizons will always be on our kid's mental map of Frankfort as "my school," even years after they've moved on to kindergarten. In the 4 years we've had kids there, from infant to pre-K, we've felt they were in good hands. The variety of activities that get kids out into Frankfort for walks, the farmer's market, history museum, and more have enriched our family times at these same places. New Horizons' emphasis on prosocial development leading up to kindergarten makes all the difference when kids move on to grade school. The teachers use routine, classroom structures and lesson plans to to give kids content knowledge they'll need for kindergarten, while offering periods of free choice, play and investigation. The physical space is organized in kid-centered ways, and changes periodically to allow new discoveries. The teachers also use restorative methods that allow practice in creative problem solving and making things right when kids have disagreements. Finally, they provided our kids with support when they were struggling with specific behaviors like finishing lunch, and challenged them when they showed interest in working ahead on writing and spelling. As a working parent you always want to know your child is thriving in the childcare situation you've chosen, and it makes all the difference when you drop them off and they are excited to be there, excited to see you again abd show you what they've learned. We have loved our time at this school!"
