I have 2 nieces and 4 nephews whom I absolutely adore, and spend most of my free time with when I’m able to get home.

    “New Horizon Academy pays for your education!”

    Tracey D., Assistant Director

    My child has been going to the Edina New Horizon Academy for 2 years. We’ve loved the structures of both the toddler and preschool classrooms. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, and just amazing. We wouldn’t dream of going to any other daycare facility. I’m always surprised at how much my child learns each day and all the relationships he builds with his teachers and classmates.

    — Imen B., New Horizon Academy Edina parent

    I was anxious to start daycare at first but my son’s teachers are so nice and always keeping me up to date on his progress throughout the day. The director and the assistant are very kind and helpful!

    — Sade A., New Horizon Academy Edina parent

    My son has learned SO much from his teachers at New Horizon Academy in Edina! Drop-offs can be difficult for us, but my son’s teacher always reaches out and gives me an update as the day progresses. I know he will be fine, but it’s the thoughtfulness that they reach out and let me know that makes them the best.

    — Emily A., New Horizon Academy Edina parent

    This daycare has been life changing! My 8 month old has only been going here for 1 week and has already shown significant changes in her growth. She is a much happier baby now! New Horizon Academy is a very professional, clean, and friendly environment. They engage and truly bond with the children. I also love that as soon as you walk in the building, there is a screen that shows every room for safety which is so reassuring. I never realized how much peace you have knowing your baby is safe, happy, and well taken care of.

    — Jasmine S., New Horizon Academy Edina parent
