I am beyond thrilled with the care and attention my children receives at New Horizon Academy. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the children’s well-being and development. I’m so grateful to have found such a fantastic daycare that not only meets but exceeds my expectations.
My son has been at New Horizon Academy – Cascade Creek for two years now and we absolutely love this place! The director is wonderful and thoughtful, and the environment is very clean and nice. It’s very close to Mayo Clinic which is really convenient if you work there!
My child attended New Horizon Academy – Cascade Creek for 5 years. As an infant, he was in a safe, clean, and attentive environment that was very responsive to any of my concerns. The communication was excellent, and I enjoyed receiving updates throughout the day. As we moved through the toddler age and on to preschool, a creative curriculum was introduced that was extremely enriching. Our son is now well-prepared for kindergarten. The leadership and teaching staff in Rochester are enthusiastic, child-centered, and most of all, happy people. When I had to go to work, my mind was at peace knowing my son was being so well cared for at daycare.
We recently started our 3 month old at New Horizon Academy. As first time parents, we were very anxious about the daycare transition. She’s been going for about 3 weeks now, and it has been wonderful! I toured about 8-9 other centers in Rochester, and the staff, safety, and cleanliness of New Horizon Academy were superior. I love that they encourage drop-in hangout time for the parents and keep in constant communication via the mobile app!
