    Our Learning Programs

    I cannot more highly recommend the Eagan New Horizon Academy. My son came home knowing his numbers and letters and was well on his way to potty training because of the school’s approach. I’m truly impressed at the support they give our family, the dedication to ensuring every child gets what they need, and the standard of care to which they hold themselves.

    — Jeni M., New Horizon Academy Eagan parent

    We have been at the Eagan New Horizon Academy for almost four years and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their children! My now six-year-old was more than prepared to start kindergarten this year, and I believe much of his success was due to the preparation he received in preschool. My two-year-old loves her teachers and comes home chatting about playing, reading, painting, and friends. We also love Eagan’s front office staff! We always feel like our voices are heard.

    — Lara R., New Horizon Academy Eagan parent

    New Horizon Academy in Eagan on Lexington is wonderful. The director and her team are the most caring and professional group of teachers and staff. I always feel my kids are safe, cared for, and respected. Both of my kiddos are now graduated and have thrived in elementary school thanks to NHA.

    — Ashley H., New Horizon Academy Eagan parent

    I recommend New Horizon Academy on Lexington to anyone looking for a high quality daycare in the area. The teachers and staff balance learning activities and having fun, and are very attentive and knowledgeable. The ratio of staff to children is great!
