Awards and Accolades
My husband and I share a home with our three children and two dogs. When I’m not fulfilling my role as “Mrs. Baker” at work, I’m living the busy mom life with our kids, enjoying watching them grow into their independent selves and cheering them on at their activities. I love shopping, decorating, cooking, and I’m a frequent flier to Nashville, TN.

What do you like about early childhood?
Working in the field of early childhood is incredibly rewarding. You get to see the lightbulbs go off in their little minds when they make connections. You get to be a part of their milestones—big and small, mental and physical—and contribute to something so important for families. The best part is that, even though it’s a significant role, it can still be silly and fun!
What makes your school unique?
My school is currently under construction, with a completion date set for January 2025! What will make my location unique is that it will be one of the few New Horizon Academy schools in Iowa with a mother’s room. We are located in the northern part of Ankeny, with easy access from surrounding towns. Our school will feature a welcoming staff and brand-new equipment, ready to support children’s growth and development!
