    “New Horizon Academy pays for your education!”

    Tracey D., Assistant Director

    This center is AWESOME! My children love it here. As a mother of 5 children who all attend daycare, it’s hard to find a daycare suitable for each one of them. My kids love their teachers and walk into school everyday with a smile and come out with an even bigger one. To go to work everyday and know that my babies are in good hands is one of the best feelings ever!

    — Angie A., New Horizon Academy East St. Paul parent

    All of my children grew up going to this daycare. Now that my children have children of their own, they brought them to the same loving staff they remembered from childhood!

    — Loren M., New Horizon Academy East St. Paul parent

    I absolutely LOVE this childcare. I have a daughter in the school-age classroom. I love that the director and assistant sat down with me to fill out the enrollment paperwork and asked me all about my children’s needs as well as my own. They also allowed me to share any details about my children’s personalities and preferences to make their time there better. I get updates throughout the day about meals and their daily activities, as well as pictures. You can really tell that the staff actually cares about you and your children. This is my first experience with daycare and I’m so grateful that I found a place that my child AND I both love.

    — Taylor A., New Horizon Academy East St. Paul parent

    New Horizon Academy East St. Paul is a great place for children to learn and grow!
