Cultivate Mankato is Now New Horizon Academy
New Horizon Academy is proud to announce the acquisition of Cultivate Mankato, which is now officially part of the New Horizon Academy family. Located at 227 E Main St, this marks our very first school in Mankato, and we are thrilled to begin serving families in this community.
The school opened its doors under the New Horizon Academy name on February 2, 2026, continuing the tradition of excellence that families have come to know and trust. Even with this exciting change, families can feel confident knowing the same directors and many of the same teachers will remain in place, ensuring continuity, familiarity, and the high-quality care already established.
This building holds a special place in the community, having been around for many years and thoughtfully restored about five years ago. It is known as one of the highest-quality early childhood programs in the Mankato area, and we are honored to build upon that strong foundation. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are planning renovations to the playground to create an even more engaging and enriching outdoor space for children.
New Horizon Academy Mankato will serve children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old, providing nurturing care and early education to children during their most important developmental years. Our hours of operation will be 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., offering families flexibility and dependable care throughout the day.
This acquisition represents an exciting milestone for New Horizon Academy as we expand into Mankato for the first time. We look forward to partnering with families, supporting children’s growth, and continuing to provide a safe, high-quality, and inspiring learning environment for years to come.
