Tracey D., Assistant Director

Ever since my child started at the Burnsville – Transit Station location, she has been thriving! The school director, assistant director, and teachers are all so welcoming and supportive. The care my child receives everyday is amazing and receiving updates throughout the day via the mobile app really helps put our family at ease. It is so fun to see what the kids are doing! We are so thankful for New Horizon Academy!

— Olivia S., New Horizon Academy Burnsville parent

I love the quality of care my son receives while being a full-time student at New Horizon Academy’s daycare. Each day they provide three healthy meals, read books, sing songs, do art projects, enjoy outdoor time, and nurture my son’s development.

 

— Sarah W., New Horizon Academy Burnsville parent

We’ve been at NHA Burnsville Transit for about a month now. The staff have been great and the ProCare app is amazing at keeping me updated throughout the day. We are in the infant room, and I have to say, the fact that they provide diapers, food, formula, etc. is great! It’s one less thing to worry about when we leave the house. My daughter has her own locker where I can keep extra clothes and items. I highly recommend this center to any other parents! I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to play on the super awesome playgrounds and indoor play area.

— Britt B., New Horizon Academy Burnsville parent

We found New Horizon Academy in March of 2024 and were so impressed with our initial tour and interactions with staff. Our kids (school-age and preschool) have been able to flourish and be themselves at NHA! Communication is easy through Procare as well as in person. From the leadership to classroom staff, we are thankful for the safe, clean, kind, interactive and fun care our kids are shown day to day!
