I am happily married and a mother of two children. I am also a grandma to two children who bring me so much joy. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family. In my free time I love to throw pottery on the wheel and hand build with clay.

After moving from Minneapolis and leaving behind our amazing Montessori daycare center, we were thrilled to find New Horizon Academy in Sartell and enroll our two boys. From the moment we first walked through the door, I knew this would be a warm, nurturing environment and we have not been disappointed. I appreciate the thoughtfully crafted curriculum and educational approach the center uses to teach kiddos at every age level, and most importantly, even on their toughest days, I feel like every child is truly loved and cared for. We are so lucky to have New Horizon Academy in our lives; the smiles on our sons’ faces when we drop them off and pick them up remind us of that on a daily basis.
We love the staff at New Horizon Academy in Sartell! I am very happy with the care my son has received since the age of 2. The preschool program is wonderful, and I love the one-on-one attention. The summer camp for school-age kids is also fantastic with tons of fun activities and field trips – the teachers are great at making the kids’ time there a fun, positive, and safe experience. My son loves New Horizon Academy in Sartell!
I am not aware of a better place for my children in Sartell/St. Cloud area. My older son attended New Horizon Academy for five years and when we had another child, we couldn’t imagine sending him to any other place. New Horizon Academy delivers high quality services. I love their curriculum, daily activities, summer programs, and wonderful staff. This place feels like home to us . I’ve never had a feeling of worry when leaving my children at New Horizon Academy because I know that they are in good hands and they are growing educationally, emotionally, and socially. I would highly recommend this facility. You will simply have peace of mind.
We’ve been being our kid to New Horizon Academy in Sartell for about 6 months now and couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone is super friendly and professional, and is very in touch with what our kid needs and is experiencing on a daily basis. They are always doing fun arts and crafts projects with the kids, keeping them engaged throughout the day. Also, we love that the app they use for parental communication allows them to send us pictures – it’s very nice to receive updates (both text and pictures) during the day.
