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!
