Creating a More Inclusive Culture

As a company that prepares children to reach their fullest potential, we share in the responsibility to ensure that this potential is not undermined by biases. We are committed to a company culture that is inclusive and where all employees feel a sense of belonging.

"New Horizon Academy is committed to the continued goal of nurturing a more diverse and inclusive generation of young children where inclusion, acceptance, and belonging are recognized and practiced, where respect and fairness are the building blocks of our programs, and where each child and employee knows that when they are with us, they are safe, respected, and valued."

— Chad Dunkley, CEO

The DEIB Commitment

Our DEIB initiative is our commitment to reflect, learn, and grow together by building lasting relationships and continuing to foster a welcoming and inclusive culture. We strive to approach our relationships with our children, families, and each other with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

We cannot do this on our own. We are working with consultants to create a strategic plan. We have established a company diversity and inclusion task force with representation from our schools.

Equal Opportunities to Succeed

We will use our power as leaders in the early childhood community to make sure that all communities are given equal opportunities to succeed.

Investment in Communities

We are committed to ensuring all children have access to high-quality child care and education.

At New Horizon Academy, we are committed to sharing resources that can help us better educate ourselves on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging so we can better support our children.

We are all on this journey together. This list of books, videos, and other resources are meant to help you and your children as you develop your knowledge in equity, diversity, and inclusion. We will continue to add to this list to make it an even more comprehensive resource.
