Our Learning Programs

Our family has had an absolutely amazing daycare experience, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose the New Horizon Academy Chanhassen location. They have fantastic staff who routinely go above and beyond in caring for our children. Also, since staff retention is high, it has been wonderful to see our younger children have all the same teachers as our older child. From the infant room up to the pre-k room, the teachers pour their hearts into taking care of our kids. Stop looking for a daycare and enroll your kids here – you’ll be glad you did!

— Cassandra N., New Horizon Academy Chanhassen parent

We just moved here from out of state and the director went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable with the transition. Our infant is obsessed with her teachers and always has the biggest smile at drop-off time. We highly recommend New Horizon Academy Chanhassen!

— Anna L., New Horizon Academy Chanhassen parent

My children have been here for 4+ years. High praise. All childcare is an investment, but NHA Chanhassen is a tremendous value considering the curriculum, genuine care from the staff and leadership, and the sense of community among the children and parents. I couldn’t recommend it more.

— Martha S., New Horizon Academy Chanhassen parent

New Horizon Academy Chanhassen is part of our family! Our daughter has been going there since she was 3 months old. The amazing infant room teachers helped her reach so many milestones, and now that she’s in the young toddler room, she has learned even more. I can’t believe all of the animal sounds, body parts, and words she now knows. If you are looking for a loving and caring school to send your kiddos to, NHA Chanhassen is the place to go. Aside from the amazing staff, the building is clean and smaller, so all of the teachers get to know all of the kids.
