Creating a More Inclusive Culture

As a company that employs people of color and provides care for communities of color, it is our responsibility to prepare a world for our children where systemic racism is no longer a part of their daily existence or their future. We are developing a more inclusive culture in our company.

This includes:

• Diversity & Inclusion Intitiatives
• Equal Opportunities to Succeed
• Public Policy Agenda
• Invest in Communities

It is not an average mission to provide the best child development on the planet, but then New Horizon Academy is not an average company. New Horizon Academy is an exceptional company, grown out of the commitment to children and families that Sue Dunkley, our founder, made in 1971 when she opened her first child care program. Sue's ongoing belief is that there is nothing more important than the self-esteem of every child.  We invite you to see why New Horizon Academy is so much more than day care. 

Our Mission

To open “New Horizons” of self-esteem and potential for the little people entrusted to our care, their families, and our employees by providing and continuously improving the best child development on the planet!

New Horizon Academy selects high quality teachers who have an appreciation for children, positive attitude, and love of teaching. We are always looking for dedicated, energetic, passionate and unique individuals to join our wonderful team of education professionals to help instill a lifelong love of learning with the children in our care.

At New Horizon Academy, we value our teachers and want to see them thrive, which is why we are genuinely committed to providing the means, opportunities, and encouragement for each of our teachers to grow and develop to his or her full potential. All of our teachers meet, or exceed, the state and local licensing requirements, must pass a background check, attend ongoing professional training and are CPR and first aid certified.

New Horizon Academy has 60 locations throughout the Twin Cities Metro area. 

At New Horizon Academy, 100 percent of our eligible programs in Minnesota are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young children (NAEYC), the recognized gold standard in the early education field. This is an accomplishment we are confident no other child care provider of our size has ever achieved.
