Alex Casey, New Horizon Academy parent and former student, Stillwater, MNAn 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.
We hire teachers with experience, give them the training and support they need to succeed, pay them above market average, and help them achieve their goals. This results in stable, consistent care for your child.
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!
Our mobile app keeps parents connected with daily updates, allowing teachers to share information, send messages, and delight you with photos and videos from your child’s day, so you never miss a moment.

Being a first time parent, it’s never easy to choose a place to send your little one when you can’t be there with them. We have had the best experience with New Horizon Academy! All the staff I have interacted with are all friendly and caring. They are very communicative and update the Procare app with multiple pictures throughout the day. It’s always a bright spot in my day to know what my baby is up to! I would recommend New Horizon Academy to anyone looking for childcare!
We love this place! The teachers and staff are great, and my daughter has learned far more than I ever expected from infancy to 2-years-old. I have to give a special thanks to the Andover in-house cook who goes out of her way to accommodate my daughter’s dietary restrictions, ensuring that she still enjoys meals similar to her peers. The New Horizon Academy food program is awesome and takes the stress out of trying to pack her lunch myself every day.
I know my daughter is safe, well-cared for, and loved when she’s at daycare. I also really love the updates in the app. It’s fun to know what my little one is up to at school.
As both a team member and a parent, I can genuinely say this daycare is something special. My son has been here since he was an infant, and now as a toddler, I’ve watched him grow, thrive, and feel completely at home in this environment. The care, patience, and love the staff provides each day is unmatched. Being part of the team, I see firsthand how much thought goes into every detail from learning activities to emotional support and as a mom, that gives me incredible peace of mind. I’m so proud to work here and even more grateful that my son gets to grow up surrounded by such a nurturing and supportive community.
