Our Learning Programs

Best school ever! The teachers and management team are AMAZING and our twins love it here! As a former assistant director and pre-k teacher at a different facility, I am very conscious of how teachers and staff are treated – happy teachers means happy kids. I am beyond impressed with New Horizon Academy North Olathe!

— Joanna C., New Horizon Academy Olathe parent

We transferred from the other Olathe location in anticipation of this location opening. Both schools have been amazing! Our kiddo adjusted quickly and we feel he is truly loved and cared for at New Horizon Academy. The daily routine, updates on the Procare app, cleanliness, and open communication from all teachers has been great. We’ve toured and experienced daycares charging similar prices, but offering far less. We are so happy to be part of the NHA family.

— Katie J., New Horizon Academy Olathe parent

New Horizon Academy, specifically the North Olathe location, has been the perfect fit for our family. As a single mother, I appreciate that the directors go above and beyond to make sure communication and support is provided consistently. Even when my son’s lead teacher is gone, I felt confident that his care will continue to be excellent. This facility is clean, attentive, responsive, and full of integrity. Not only is my son safe, but he is learning at a significant rate. I would highly recommend North Olathe to anyone looking for a great childcare transition for their family!

— Jaide R., New Horizon Academy Olathe parent

North Olathe’s New Horizon Academy has been the best decision our family has made hands-down when it comes to supporting our children’s development, needs, and emotional care. We have been here since they opened in July of 2024 after leaving our previous daycare of 3.5 years. We were tired of constant staff turnover, unclean facilities, and lack of interest in getting down to the why behind a child’s day-to-day behavior. After one week at New Horizon Academy, we noticed such positive differences in both our children. Classes size are great, the teachers want to be there, and the communication is consistent from staff. We love it here, and our kids do too!

— Kelly E., New Horizon Academy Olathe parent
