    Our Learning Programs

    The New Horizon Academy Normandale Towers location is truly phenomenal! The staff are incredible and care for each and every child who walks through the door. The center is smaller than most which provides the perfect environment and a great family culture. The directors are two of the best people I know. If I could give this location 100 stars I would!

    — Joy G., New Horizon Academy Bloomington parent

    One of the best child care centers I’ve ever used! The teachers are responsive and caring. The administration is super friendly and helpful. I’ve been using daycare for children and now grandchildren for over 30 years, and this is the best of them all. I feel blessed to have found this gem.

    — Susan W., New Horizon Academy Bloomington parent

    We’ve had two kids go all the way through the child development program at New Horizon Academy – Normandale Towers. Seeing my kids happy at the end of the day is the best review I can leave. Throughout the day, staff are attending to the needs of kids all ages in a loving and professional manner. The facilities are immaculate and the range of curriculum is amazing. We’re very happy we sent our kids here!

    — Alec J., New Horizon Academy Bloomington parent

    I am a big fan of New Horizon Academy and especially this location. My daughter started in the preschool classroom dealing with a speech delay and social anxiety, and in just about a week we started seeing positive changes and growth. The director is the best, and the teachers are truly amazing. The Conscious Discipline curriculum is incredible for encouraging children to feel and helping them understand those feelings. We love the Procare app and getting updates and pictures throughout the day. My daughter is growing and thriving with NHA and we are so thankful for the attentive care she receives!
