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.
Our family is delighted to welcome your family to New Horizon Academy! We know you cherish your child, and so will we. That’s the promise we make to you each day!
