Meet Our St. Paul Team of Experienced Educators

At each of our St. Paul schools, you will find passionate early childhood educators dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child to learn and grow. With an average tenure of five years, our teachers bring experience and expertise to the classroom, supported by ongoing professional training in early childhood education and development. Children learn best when they are in the care of loving and compassionate professionals, and our St. Paul team is committed to helping your child grow to their fullest potential. We look forward to being a trusted part of your child’s care and education.

You can really tell that the staff cares about both you and your children. They welcomed me to share details about my children’s personalities and preferences to help make their experience even better. I love receiving updates and photos throughout the day about their daily meals and activities.

— Taylor A., Parent at New Horizon Academy, East St. Paul

New Horizon Academy has been fantastic for my son!  His development is growing exponentially through social interaction and learning opportunities at NHA.  The staff are friendly, make you feel welcome, and truly care about every child in their care.

 

— David P., Parent at New Horizon Academy, Downtown St. Paul

New Horizon Academy truly focused on helping my son develop and grow his skills at every level. The center director and teachers felt like an extension of our family. When my son graduated from New Horizon Academy, he had incredible literacy skills that allowed him to enter kindergarten ready and eager to read.

— Kandis A., Parent at New Horizon Academy, St. Paul Highland Park

The toddler classroom is AMAZING! Our child is advancing leaps and bounds from previous experiences. We look forward to watching our kids grow here and seeing the center grow as well.

 

— Abby C., Parent at New Horizon Academy, St. Paul Lower Afton

The staff at New Horizon Academy are great and provide stable, high-quality care. They’ve been attentive to my infant daughter’s developmental needs, and it’s reassuring to know she’s in a place that genuinely puts her best interests first. They’ve helped her achieve milestones and even offered guidance on things parents can do outside of daycare to support her growth.

— Justin B., Parent at New Horizon Academy, St. Paul Rice Street

Everyone at New Horizon Academy is so friendly! The teachers and management team are awesome! I really like the big gym where the kids can play when the weather doesn’t permit outdoor activities.

— Troy B., Parent at New Horizon Academy St. Paul York Avenue
