Our Learning Programs

I highly recommend the Downtown St. Paul New Horizon Academy! Leaving your child can make you feel uneasy, especially as a new parent, but I feel so comfortable leaving my son at daycare! They care, they listen, and they respect me and my family. I never have to worry about the safety of my son while I’m at work. They are very observant and truly care about your child as if they were their own child. Thanks for always going above and beyond!

— Patricia T., New Horizon Academy St. Paul parent

The directors and teachers here care so much and really go the extra mile for the kiddos. Both my boys get excellent care at the Downtown St. Paul New Horizon Academy!

— Christina L., New Horizon Academy St. Paul parent

I will always have great things to say about the New Horizon Academy in downtown St. Paul. My son has been attending since he was just a few months old and always looks forward to going. All of the staff really care for the children in their care. They are very communicative throughout the day and give updates on how he’s doing. They also give timely responses when I have questions, which helps me feel more at ease.

— Johanna V., New Horizon Academy St. Paul parent

New Horizon Academy St. Paul Downtown has been a great partner in the growth and development of our kids. For the last 7 years, they have been a critical part of the village that helped raise our kids. They have such care, kindness, and so much patience. We have loved our time there and are sad to be done as both kids are now in elementary school.
