I live in Saint Paul Park with my husband Eric, our three girls—Taylor, Avery, and Emersyn—and our fur baby, Trixie. We are a softball family, so we spend most weekends at the fields in the summer or in the dome in the winter.

Tracey D., Assistant Director
From my first conversation on the phone with the director, I knew this daycare center was a great fit! The building is clean inside and out, and families are kindly greeted at the door. I love the updates shared throughout the day so I can be in tune with what’s going on with my baby girl. If you want a daycare that puts children first and values education, this is definitely the place for you!
We started going to New Hew Horizon Academy as our previous daycare was no longer a good fit for our kids. We chose the St. Paul location because of the awesome school director. We appreciate her open and honest communication, and friendliness every time we walk in the door. She takes the time to listen, and she loves all the children as if they were her own. We look forward to continuing to watch our kids grow at New Horizon Academy. They are already advancing leaps and bounds from previous experiences!
This by FAR has been one of the best experiences I’ve had with childcare. My son is treated with such care and compassion. They tailor to his unique needs with no problems and are always positive and happy here. I highly recommend New Horizon Academy off Lower Afton road!
This is such a good center led by a dependable, thoughtful leader who excels with communication, positive structure, and a compassionate heart!
