Our two West Des Moines locations provide local families with trusted early education programs for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. With talented teachers, safe classrooms, and a research-based curriculum at both schools, our preschool and childcare programs set children up for success for kindergarten and the years ahead.
I can’t say enough great things about New Horizon Academy in West Des Moines! I took my time to carefully select the right center for my 3 year old and I’m incredibly particular about who cares for my kids. Our experience has been nothing but awesome and we LOVE the teachers! My daughter is thriving, learning so much, she’s happy, and really looks forward to going to school each day!
We absolutely love New Horizon Academy! The teachers, directors, and staff are not only incredibly caring and attentive, but also genuinely invested in our daughter’s development. With the great communication technology they provide, we feel like we aren’t missing out on what our daughter is learning and experiencing each day. We feel completely at ease knowing our daughter is in such a safe, nurturing environment. Our family wholeheartedly recommends this daycare to any parent looking for a reliable and supportive center!
My children are genuinely happy and excited to talk about their days and what they learned. It gives me peace of mind knowing they are safe, well-cared for, and loved by the teachers who are with them. It makes being a full-time parent a lot easier!
I couldn’t be more thrilled with New Horizon Academy! The new building is not only beautiful, but also thoughtfully designed with every detail in mind. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and always communicative. The curriculum is fantastic, and I love that they prioritize fresh air and outdoor walks for my little one, even at such a young age.
An investment in a New Horizon Academy education is an investment in your child’s future. Families trust New Horizon Academy to set their children up for success. Here are a few reasons why:
From a single preschool classroom in 1971 to 100 schools today, much has changed for New Horizon Academy, but our commitment to children, families, teachers, and our communities remains the same.
One hundred percent of our eligible schools are accredited by NAEYC, the gold standard in early childhood accreditation. This is an accomplishment no other childcare provider of our size has achieved.

Our state-of-the-art schools provide children with thoughtfully designed classrooms, playgrounds, and learning tools. We regularly update our schools to ensure they reflect our high standards for safety, quality, and care.
Your child’s safety and well-being always come first. Our childcare centers create caring, secure environments focused on supporting each child’s health and happiness. You can feel confident that your child is in good hands.
Our research-based curriculum offers engaging, hands-on activities in STEAM, language and literacy, social-emotional learning, physical development, and more to support kindergarten readiness and lifelong learning.
As an organization, we strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive culture where all children, families, and staff feel a sense of belonging. We approach our relationships with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
A nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack are prepared fresh each day by our school chef, with menus developed by our nutrition specialist to ensure every meal is balanced. All meals are included in the cost of tuition!
