  • I am so glad to have had the opportunity to partner with New Horizon Academy in West Des Moines this winter to provide toys and materials to the children’s hospital at Mercy Downtown Des Moines. The partnership we have with them has been outstanding and we are already in works for planning our event for next winter. I appriciate there partnership in giving back to children and their families during some of the most difficult times.

  • We joined our friend for a family event the other day and I just have to say that the staff and admin were so sweet. We are expecting and looking to move to the area, so we are excited for the possible future we have with this school. Figures crossed the stars align!

  • As a small business owner that has an inside look into countless daycares across the Des Moines metro, I highly recommend New Horizon Academy West Des Moines! I have partnered with this location for many years providing music classes inside the facility. The director and assistant director, Nichelle & Kori, are so professional, attentive, prompt and kind. When choosing this center you reap the benefits of it being a corporate multi state center with a family and community oriented feel! The facility is beautiful and clean with attention given to every unique space. Your child will have access to state of the art equipment as well as hand chosen curriculum and material. The staff and teachers truly care for their students and you will be treated as family. This center is a must see when choosing your daycare home!

  • New Horizon has been a wonderful experience for my family. The director, Nichelle, and assistant director, Kori, are both amazing—very supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. My three children’s teachers are also fantastic; they create a positive, nurturing environment where my kids are excited to learn and grow. Not only is it a great place for children, but it’s also a great place to work, with a strong, welcoming team.
