Our founder, Sue Dunkley began her career as an elementary school teacher.However, she soon discovered that the school district's philosophy at the time was very different from her own.It became clear to her how important it is for children to feel good about themselves.She knew she needed to provide a nurturing place for children to go before they ventured out into the big world; a place that would help them believe in themselves.That is why New Horizon was born.She chose the name "New Horizon" because she believes that each and every child deserves a new horizon, a place where he or she can say, "I like me!"

New Horizon Academy has been serving families since 1971.Because of our continuing love, belief, and dedication to children, we have flourished and become one of the nation's most successful and respected child care providers.The commitment to excellence Sue strived for in New Horizon's early beginning is the foundation that our company is built on, and is the cornerstone of all our New Horizon Academy centers.Today, New Horizon is operated by many dedicated people.
