Building the Foundations for a Lifetime of Learning.

The earliest years of a child's life are filled with opportunities for remarkable growth. During this important developmental period, children begin discovering how to communicate, interact with others, explore their environment, and develop the foundational skills that support future learning.

For children with special learning and developmental needs, individualized instruction and early intervention can provide valuable opportunities to build these essential abilities.

New Horizons Academy's STAR Early Intervention Program is a full-day preschool and kindergarten program designed to support young learners as they develop foundational educational, communication, social, physical, and functional skills.

Through purposeful activities, individualized instruction, structured routines, and meaningful opportunities for exploration, STAR helps children strengthen their abilities while developing confidence and a positive relationship with learning.

Our approach recognizes that young children learn through movement, interaction, repetition, discovery, and play. We strive to create an environment where every student feels safe, supported, encouraged, and excited to participate.

Learning experiences may focus on:

• Early Academic Foundations: Developing pre-reading, early literacy, number recognition, counting, and foundational learning skills.
• Communication Development: Encouraging children to express needs, understand language, interact with others, and develop meaningful communication abilities.
• Social & Emotional Growth: Building relationships, participating in group activities, understanding emotions, and developing appropriate social skills.
• Physical & Motor Development: Strengthening movement, coordination, fine motor abilities, and participation in everyday activities.
• Independence & Daily Routines: Developing practical skills, following routines, making choices, and participating more independently.
• School Readiness: Building the confidence, attention, participation, and foundational abilities that support continued educational development.

We recognize that progress looks different for every young learner. For one child, a meaningful milestone may be recognizing their name or counting objects. For another, it may be communicating a need, participating in a group activity, or completing a task with less assistance.

Every achievement matters because every new skill creates opportunities for further growth.

In STAR, we believe that small beginnings can lead to extraordinary possibilities.
