Awards and Accolades

Our family loves New Horizon Academy - Olathe! We toured countless other centers in the area and we were not very impressed until we visited New Horizon Academy. Our daughter is in the toddler room and her teachers are so loving and kind! You can tell that they truly enjoy what they do. The leadership team is very strong - they're very hands-on with the classrooms and maintain great communication with families. The facility offers a high-quality curriculum, a wide variety of fun activities throughout the day, nutritious meals that our daughter enjoys, and a brand-new, state-of-the-art early childhood center with an indoor gym, which is essential for young children during inclement weather. The staff utilize Conscious Discipline practices in the classrooms to build social-emotional skills rather than using old-school, punishment-based techniques.
