    Our Learning Programs

    We have absolutely loved our time (4 years and counting) at New Horizon Academy – Best Buy! The staff are all so knowledgeable and well trained. I’ve felt so comfortable leaving my daughters with them since day one and know they take great care of them. The directors are so approachable along with all of the teachers to help talk through any transitions or issues. I’ve had many conversations with them all even just about what I can do better as a parent and have felt very supported through every conversation about my girls. I can’t think of a better place to start the learning and development of my girls than here!

    — Ashley W., New Horizon Academy Richfield parent

    At New Horizon Academy Richfield, we have found more than just a daycare – we’ve found a place where our children are genuinely empowered to grow. The educators here go beyond basic caretaking; they are mentors who understand the profound impact of teaching kids essential life skills, from potty training to managing their emotions with confidence and resilience. What stands out to us is the balance of respect and encouragement the staff offers. Each child’s individuality is valued, and the team does a remarkable job of fostering independence. They treat our kids with the kind of care and attention that gives us peace of mind every day. The entire team has built an environment where trust is the foundation, and children can truly thrive.

    — Matt D., New Horizon Academy Richfield parent

    Our family has been incredibly pleased with New Horizon Academy in Richfield, located at the Best Buy center, since our son started attending at just four months old. Now almost three, we can confidently say that New Horizon Academy is more than just a daycare; it’s an exceptional early education center that has far exceeded our expectations! Every day, we are amazed by the advancements our little guy makes. The educational programs are top-notch, and we truly appreciate the curriculum designed to foster learning and growth. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that you don’t have to be a Best Buy employee for your child to attend. This made it easy for us to choose a place where we felt our child would thrive.

    — Vanessa B., New Horizon Academy Richfield parent

    New Horizon Academy – Best Buy has been amazing to my two children. The amount of love the teachers have shown them is something our family will never forget. Being able to drop your kids off at a place knowing they are safe, loved, and well taken care of is a feeling every parent hopes for, and my wife and I found that here.
