BIO

I am a Colorado native who grew up in the Cherry Creek School District. I started working in childcare as an after-school job in high school and quickly discovered my passion for working with young children. I spent 18 years at a learning center in Highlands Ranch as both a teacher and part of the management team. The best part of being a director is building a strong community with my staff and the families enrolled with us. When I am not working, I love spending time with my husband and three daughters.

Education – B.S. in Early Childhood Education

Years of Early Childhood Education Experience: 25+

What do you like about early childhood?

I love all the joy the children bring to each day.

What makes your school unique?

Our Learning Programs

I just want to share how much I love and appreciate everyone at New Horizon Academy, Aurora! The directors and the rest of the staff make this center AMAZING! My kids both enjoy going to school every morning, and the atmosphere is so positive! My husband and I recently relocated to Colorado, and finding a great daycare was such a challenge. I went on a ton of tours, and New Horizon Academy was my last tour—I fell in love immediately! The facility is clean, the teachers truly care about the kids, and they update the app to send me pictures, share what my kids are eating, etc. Communication is so important to me, and they exceeded my expectations. I don’t trust just anyone to watch my children, but I feel so safe leaving my kids here.

— Ashley D., New Horizon Academy Aurora parent

Out of all the daycare centers we toured, we were most impressed with this school and staff. The director was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We did not make an appointment before touring but were shown classrooms anyway. The teachers seemed to be really involved with the kids. We have since enrolled our baby and are so happy with our choice.

— Janet B., New Horizon Academy Aurora parent

My wife and I take our child here and we love the staff and teachers! You can tell that everyone involved genuinely cares about the kids and knows how to not just care for children, but teach them. Everyone we’ve had the pleasure of meeting have been nothing short of amazing. If you’re on the fence for a daycare, New Horizon Academy off Quincy Ave is some place you should absolutely visit.

— Zack H., New Horizon Academy Aurora parent

This place has been wonderful with both of my wild boys! The photos on the app keep me informed with their activities and help me feel connected with their experiences. The teachers have been very responsive with strong communication. My kids love New Horizon Academy!

— Jana D., New Horizon Academy Aurora parent
