My children have been attending this center since the infant room and are now getting ready to graduate pre-k! This daycare center treats your children with so much love and tenderness, like we are apart of their family. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the children’s education! We love it here!
I absolutely love this daycare. My kids have been here for 6 months now and they love their teachers just as much as I do. I would recommend the St. Paul Rice Street New Horizon Academy daycare to anyone – it’s amazing!
I would recommend sending your children here because the environment is super loving, inclusive, and open. The teachers truly love and care for your children at New Horizon Academy Rice Street.
I have sent all three of my children here from infancy all the way to pre-K. During that time, I have seen this center go through many changes and can truly say that I know the staff care about the children. They are constantly improving and really interact with parents to stay on the same page when it comes to the children. I couldn’t ask for anything better!
