We started our son on the very first day the school opened. Actually, we were the first family to enter that day! Every day since has been absolutely amazing. Each teacher has been A-1 hands down, like genuinely happy to be here and super welcoming to our children. The Director is on top of things administrative, and is always accessible and super sweet. But the star is the owner! Mrs Radhika is always on-site and you can genuinely tell this is her passion. Having an owner that’s hands on, welcoming and always has a smile on her face..(Read More)

We were one of the first enrollments in the new Young Horizons School, and very happy with our decision. We left a private in-home daycare and initially had reservations about making the switch to a Center. Young Horizons is leaps and bounds ahead of the other centers we visited, and our 8 month old daughter is thriving. First, Ms. Rhadika and her team are wonderful. They are personable, smart, and genuinely care about the children. The facility is beautiful and thoughtfully designed: tons of natural light, large windows..(Read More)

My son attended YHS and we absolutely loved the staff. All were so caring & loving. My son never had complaints. He learned so much there, and he became very independent. To this day, we see his growth from YHS. I highly recommend YHS, from the facility to the owner to the staff. We have no complaints.
- Angelina E. Navarro
My daughter started Young Horizons School because two of my neighbors’ daughters were going there too. I’m glad we chose YHS because it has helped my daughter’s development a lot. They have a good academic curriculum and extra activities, which keeps a child engaged and happy. Her teachers are very loving and caring. I would highly recommend parents send their kids to YHS.

She is excited to go to school! We love Young Horizons!

Young Horizons School has proven to be a fantastic school for our sons. The staff has consistently shown genuine care for our boys' physical, mental, and social development. We have all the confidence in YHS to engage with and care for our children. We look forward to watching our sons carry their Montessori education into the public school system in a few years.

Our daughter's skillset is very advanced for a 3-year-old. She loves learning and continues to excel with any task at home as well. Her development and motor skills amaze us the most as parents. Thank you to the instructors and staff who nurture and take their time to ensure a great foundation for our daughter's developmental skills and learning experience.
- Katherine Korompis
My little daughter has been attending Young Horizons School. From the moment she started, she was given personalized and individualized attention to slowly adapt to the new setting without fuss. She was gently and carefully introduced into the class and to the incredible training curriculum. Her adaptation was obvious and noticeable; she settled in just as well as she did at her prior Montessori school.
- Leela Rani Avula
The teachers are caring, nurturing, and provide a solid educational start for our kids. Our child who currently attends loves the field trips they take and the various activities, including music, yoga, writing, reading, science, and math classes. Highly recommend this school for your little ones!
