What do you like about early childhood?

Early childhood is that time in a child’s life where their brain is developing at an incredibly rapid pace. We have the opportunity to educate and shape those little minds at such a crucial point in their development. It is astonishing to see how much children learn and grow from the time they start with us in the infant program until the day they graduate from preschool.

What makes your school unique?

When I think of my school, the phrase “small but mighty” comes to mind. We are a smaller school with five classrooms, but we are a strong team that works together to provide the best educational experience for the little people in our care!

I highly recommend this group of staff to anyone wishing to have a peace of mind leaving their child at daycare. The staff are caring, communicative, positive, and energetic. My wife and I have no words to describe how satisfied we are to return to a bubbly baby each day. We have observed amazing social and cognitive development in our baby and are comfortable leaving our toddler in the hands of this fun and professional group.

Our Learning Programs

For me, the hardest part of being a parent is not being able to stay at home and spend every second with my child. Being able to put to my son in the care of the St. Cloud New Horizon Academy was the best decision my husband and I had made. The school goes above and beyond for your child. They send daily updates with photos so you can feel like you are a part of their day and know what they have done so you can talk about it with your child. The teachers and directors are amazing, and really feel like your family.
