New Horizon Academy Opens 100th School, Bringing High-Quality Childcare and Early Education to More Families
CORCORAN, Minn. – New Horizon Academy, a nationally-recognized leader in childcare and early childhood education, recently announced the grand opening of its 100th school. This milestone is a significant achievement for the organization, solidifying its commitment to nurturing the potential of young learners across the country.
“Reaching 100 schools is a testament to our unwavering dedication to providing high-quality early education experiences for all children,” said Chad Dunkley, CEO of New Horizon Academy. “We are thrilled to expand our reach and serve even more families in their communities.”
The new school, located in Corcoran, MN, offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from six weeks through pre-kindergarten. The school features state-of-the-art classrooms, best-in-class indoor and outdoor play areas, experienced teachers, and a research-based curriculum.
Commitment to Quality and Accessibility
New Horizon Academy is committed to providing high-quality early education for all age groups. Schools use a research-based curriculum that includes play-based activities, social-emotional development, and age-appropriate academic exploration to foster a lifelong love of learning. The new school, as with all New Horizon Academy locations, will offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of working families.
“We know the vital importance of early education in laying the foundation for a child’s future,” said Chad Dunkley, CEO at New Horizon Academy. “Our curriculum is designed to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond, while fostering a lifelong love of learning.”
Commitment to Accreditation and Workplace Excellence
Continuous improvement is one of New Horizon Academy’s core values, which is why all schools pursue accreditation in addition to state licensing. All of New Horizon Academy’s eligible centers have achieved accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which signifies that all programs meet rigorous national standards for quality and learning.
New Horizon Academy is also a seven-time recipient of the Star Tribune Top 200 Workplaces award and a three-time recipient of the Top Work Places USA honor. These recognitions acknowledge an ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and rewarding work environment for early childhood educators.
Celebrating the Future of Early Education
From a single preschool classroom in 1971 to 100 schools in five states (and still growing) today, much has changed for New Horizon Academy – but a great deal remains the same. New Horizon Academy is family owned and operated, with corporate headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota, just down the road from that first preschool classroom in Brooklyn Center. The company mission and vision also remain the same: to provide the best early childhood experiences for young children, and to improve access to early education and high-quality childcare for all children.
The opening of the 100th school marks a significant milestone for New Horizon Academy, but it’s just the beginning. The organization remains committed to expanding its reach and providing high-quality early education experiences to even more children and families across the country.
