My main experience in early childhood education is with infants and toddlers at New Horizon Academy, where I developed a love for observing the curiosity children have about all aspects of life. Outside of my passion for early childhood education, I enjoy reading a variety of genres. I love spending time with my family and friends, and exploring all the beautiful scenery Minnesota has to offer!

From a single preschool classroom in 1971 to 100 schools today, much has changed for New Horizon Academy, but our commitment to children, families, teachers, and our communities remains the same.

I cannot express enough how grateful my family is to have found this particular daycare center. It has been our go-to place for over 5 years now, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure that my children are well taken care of, both physically and emotionally. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than knowing that my children are being cared for in such a loving and safe environment. I am forever grateful to the teachers and staff at this daycare center for their dedication, passion, and commitment. They have become like an extended family to us, and we are eternally thankful for the positive impact they have had on our lives.
We are so thankful for New Horizon Academy Uptown. Each staff member has been excellent to work with. Our son, who is in the infant classroom, spent time in the NICU this spring, and bringing him to daycare has been something that weighed heavily on our minds. We have been so pleased to know that he is safe, engaged, and well cared for throughout the day, while we stay connected as parents through regular updates.
We are deeply grateful for the love and support our son has received at New Horizon Academy Uptown. All of his teachers in the infant program have been wonderful. It gives us great peace of mind to see him smiling and happy at drop-off and pick-up each day, and to witness how his teachers encourage and celebrate his growth and development. We also appreciate the clear communication and frequent updates from both the teachers and directors.
We have two children that have been enrolled at New Horizon Academy Uptown since they were infants. At every stage/classroom, we have been thoroughly impressed with the teachers, curriculum, and overall care provided. The teachers and leadership all have a deep connection with our children and their development. New Horizon Academy Uptown has everything you expect in a daycare: safe, clean, transparent, kind, etc., but they also do the little things that makes this place so much more.
