New Horizon Academy

preschool guide

New Horizon Academy has been locally family owned and operated since opening its first child care program in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, in 1971. The commitment to excellence that our founder, Sue Dunkley, strived for in New Horizon’s beginning is the foundation that our company is built on and the cornerstone of each New Horizon Academy.

Today, New Horizon Academy is operated by many dedicated people, and although we are continuing to grow and serve more children each year, we will always have family roots, a warm, nurturing atmosphere, an open door, and an abiding commitment to excellence.

Neighborhood Children’s House in Northeast Minneapolis is absolutely wonderful. It’s for ages 3-5, has been around for 20 years and is currently enrolling.
They’re a part-time preschool option with morning and afternoon classes.
If you reach out, they may want a feature-it’s been difficult finding enough enrollment this last year.
