After moving from Minneapolis and leaving behind our amazing Montessori daycare center, we were thrilled to find New Horizon Academy in Sartell and enroll our two boys. From the moment we first walked through the door, I knew this would be a warm, nurturing environment and we have not been disappointed. I appreciate the thoughtfully crafted curriculum and educational approach the center uses to teach kiddos at every age level, and most importantly, even on their toughest days, I feel like every child is truly loved and cared for. We are so lucky to have New Horizon Academy in our lives; the smiles on our sons’ faces when we drop them off and pick them up remind us of that on a daily basis.
