Hi! I’m Natalie and I have been working in Early Childhood Education for almost 10 years! I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis in Special Education. I love working with children and seeing them learn and grow. Having children ask for a hug or learn something you have taught them is such a magical experience.

What do you like about early childhood?
I love early childhood education because of children’s authenticity and seeing their lightbulb moments. Watching children master a new word or skill, and receiving their heartfelt hugs is truly special.
What makes your school unique?
Our school stands out for its family-like atmosphere and long term teachers.

After being at New Horizon Academy over the past couples of years, I would not take my kids anywhere else. They put my mind as ease as they take such great care of my kids. They treat my boys with so much love and care and do such a great job educating them and exposing them to life and all the experiences. I especially love their summer program where they do a few more extracurricular activities with the kids. It’s comforting to know that this school holds high standards and expectations.
I have a toddler who goes to this daycare and the staff there are amazing! My son has learned so much in the last year and a half and he absolutely loves being outside. I always recommend the New Horizon Academy in Coon Rapids to my friends and family! 10/10 best daycare!
This daycare center is amazing! The teachers are wonderful and the building is beautiful! The children go on amazing field trips and the staff bring fun things to the center, such as water days, bounce castles, magicians, and more. The staff are so kind and caring with all of the children.
I just want to say this was the first daycare I ever dropped my daughter off and I’m a first time mom. I toured other ones and just had the best feeling about this one. The director is super welcoming and very kind. You can tell she really genuinely cares about the kids. The assistant director is also super sweet. This daycare has AMAZING teachers. They do a lot of fun activities for your little ones. NHA Coon Rapids is all around a really good place.
