The Best Daycares in Rochester

Serving the Rochester area with two nationally accredited schools, families can easily find a convenient, nearby option, each providing the same exceptional childcare and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. Both Rochester schools are led by experienced teachers and follow a proven curriculum that supports every stage of early development.

Meet Our Rochester Team of Experienced Educators

At each of our Rochester 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 Rochester 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.

The classrooms, toys, schedules, curriculum, meals, and extra activities are all designed with the little ones and their families in mind. Extra care is taken when transitioning a baby to a new classroom by letting them visit a teacher they know and moving children up together. It’s also nice that families can participate in special activities. The staff here make New Horizon Academy an exemplary provider that we are glad to call our daycare!

— Amanda B., Parent at New Horizon Academy, Rochester

The New Horizon Academy environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the children’s well-being and development.  What truly sets this daycare apart is its exceptional leadership. Their vision, professionalism, and dedication to providing top-notch care shine through in everything they do. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a quality, caring environment for their child.

— Janelle P., Parent at New Horizon Academy, Rochester Cascade Creek

We’ve loved our experience with the NW Rochester New Horizon Academy. My children are greeted by name with big smiles and hugs from the moment they walk in the door. Teachers are engaged with the children, and I love the activities they plan for class each day. The directors are passionate about their students and school environment. I’d recommend this facility to anyone seeking center-based childcare and education for their child.

— Kelly B., Parent at New Horizon Academy, Rochester

My son was with New Horizon Academy on Cascade Creek for two years and is now graduating and going on to kindergarten. We have absolutely loved this place! The administration team is wonderful and thoughtful. The school environment is very clean and nice! It’s also very close to Mayo Clinic, which is really convenient if you work there.
