Our Learning Programs

We have two children that have been enrolled at the Uptown Minneapolis New Horizon Academy since they were infants. At every stage/classroom we have been thoroughly impressed with the teachers, curriculum, and overall care provided. The teachers and leadership all have a deep connection with our children and their development. Their progression to different classrooms is not based on generic benchmarks such as age or walking -the New Horizon team communicates openly about the maturity and development of the child and why they think they should or should not move to new classrooms. New Horizon Academy Uptown has everything you expect in a day care: safe, clean, transparent, kind, etc. but they also do the little things that makes this place so much more.
