Tracey D., Assistant Director

After being at New Horizon Academy over the past couples of years, I would not take my kids anywhere else. They put my mind as ease as they take such great care of my kids. They treat my boys with so much love and care and do such a great job educating them and exposing them to life and all the experiences. I especially love their summer program where they do a few more extracurricular activities with the kids. It’s comforting to know that this school holds high standards and expectations.

— Addie O., New Horizon Academy Coon Rapids parent

I have a toddler who goes to this daycare and the staff there are amazing! My son has learned so much in the last year and a half and he absolutely loves being outside. I always recommend the New Horizon Academy in Coon Rapids to my friends and family! 10/10 best daycare!

— Tiffanie B., New Horizon Academy Coon Rapids parent

This daycare center is amazing! The teachers are wonderful and the building is beautiful! The children go on amazing field trips and the staff bring fun things to the center, such as water days, bounce castles, magicians, and more. The staff are so kind and caring with all of the children.

— Rebekka D., New Horizon Academy Coon Rapids parent

I just want to say this was the first daycare I ever dropped my daughter off and I’m a first time mom. I toured other ones and just had the best feeling about this one. The director is super welcoming and very kind. You can tell she really genuinely cares about the kids. The assistant director is also super sweet. This daycare has AMAZING teachers. They do a lot of fun activities for your little ones. NHA Coon Rapids is all around a really good place.
