I grew up in Saint Michael, Minnesota with one sister and three brothers. I enjoy outdoor activities including fishing, 4-wheeling, grilling, and sitting by a bonfire.

I currently live in Zimmerman, Minnesota with my husband, Toby, our miniature Australian Shepherd, Roxie, and hoping to grow our family in the future!

New Horizon Academy Minnetonka is an incredible place for my children! As first time foster parents, my wife and I were concerned about enrolling our kids in a daycare, but from the first meeting we had with the director, we knew this center would be a great fit. It’s clear that the teachers are committed to working with where the kids are at academically and socially, and finding ways to connect with them. We highly recommend New Horizon Academy Minnetonka to families!
The New Horizon Academy in Minnetonka has been our second family for 4+ years now and we couldn’t be happier with the support and care they have provided for our two boys. The teachers and staff have created a wonderful culture of connectedness and care. They are rockstars and always go the extra mile to connect with the kids and parents. They provide excellent educational opportunities that would not happen in our home. Thank you for all you do for our family!
This location has a warm, family style feel to the whole center. My child has grown exponentially under the care and teaching of the staff here. I have full confidence in her ability to attend kindergarten fully prepared in the future. The management is very helpful, friendly, and communicative.
New Horizon Academy on Minnetonka Boulevard has been such a blessing to our family. Every teacher knows all of our children and cares deeply about them. The education our children received here was wonderful and I cannot thank the staff enough for the work they have done and the love they have shared with our children.
