What Parents
Say About Us

I completely trust New Direction for my daughter's development. Since her first day attending New Direction, she has never cried during drop off, she always seems excited to go! There is obviously a very organized daily routine. I trust the staff. I can honestly say as a mom I’ve never had a concern, I believe she’s in good hands with New Direction.

Happy Parent

I am so thankful for this daycare. We moved here almost 3 years ago. When I found them they made my kids feel safe and welcome. I am beyond thankful for this place. Both my kids have loved going here. Kind, supportive, loving environment. Genuinely good people. They really care about the kids ❤
