We absolutely love love love New Horizon Academy Shakopee. My son is always so happy at drop off and pick up. The pictures I receive throughout the day make it so much easier to work without worrying about how my baby is doing. Thank you to the amazing teachers and staff!
Shakopee has the BEST teachers and staff. We’ve never been happier with any other daycare provider. New Horizon Academy has had a very welcoming and warm environment from day one; everyone knows every kid by name! When we transitioned from the infant room to toddler room, we never felt anything but support and care for our little one. They have incredible cleaning and communication standards!
New Horizon Academy in Shakopee is the place to take your kiddos! They listen to you. They communicate. The teachers are AMAZING! I have one child in the infant room and one in pre-k and both adore their teachers! I am so happy I picked NHA Shakopee. Thank you to everyone for loving and caring for my daughters.
We enrolled our infant daughter at New Horizon Academy Shakopee and absolutely love it. The classroom staff are the best. They know her individual needs and always keep us updated on how she does each day. They post pictures and updates in the mobile app so we know how things are going. They do daily activities like songs, reading, and art projects. The management and dietary staff are so friendly and greet us each day when we arrive. It really feels like they are family members and I trust them absolutely with our daughter’s care.
