New Horizon Academy has been my school family since August 2002 (the day after my birthday). I consider NHA a gift!
When I applied to NHA at our Best Buy–Richfield location, I intended to gain experience in my teaching career on the path to someday teaching at an intermediate level.
The experience I gained from that has turned my career path around. I learned that I LOVE teaching young children and seeing their growth and development during this pivotal stage in their lives. I started out as an aide in a young preschool classroom and then gained education and experience through NHA to become a teacher. I was nominated for a Teacher of Distinction Award for three years before becoming an Educator of Excellence Awardee.
An opportunity arose at NHA in 2013 to become a Curriculum Coordinator at our NHA–Bloomington, MN center. I took the opportunity and grew to love the experience of helping teachers in their classrooms. Within the year, the Assistant Director position opened for our Bloomington, MN center, and I decided to take on that opportunity. In 2015, the Director position opened, and I contemplated taking the role. I had fallen in love with our teaching team and realized that I could serve them in this leadership role.
I am proud to be a member of this school family, which my three children have also been a part of.
Education – BA in Secondary Education; Minor in Mathematics
Years of Early Childhood Education Experience: 20

New Horizon Academy Bloomington – MN Center is a fabulous daycare and learning center. You can be sure your child will get individualized attention and nurturing. The directors, teachers, and staff are always open to any comments or requests, and they all know each and every child.

I am so happy we decided to put our boys into the New Horizon Academy daycare in Bloomington! The teachers are so caring towards our boys and every single time we come to pick them up, they’re always smiling. I love the fact that I can check on them daily through the family app too!
My son was at this New Horizon Academy for 2 years after transferring from another center. Within a few weeks of him transferring, I had seen a major change. He was identifying his numbers, colors, and shapes. He even learned how to spell and write his name at 3 years old. I love the communication with his teachers and the director. Although he just graduated, I know a lot of his success in kindergarten is because of the education, dedication, and patience of this school.
We’re so happy with the teachers and staff at New Horizon Academy. We’ve had our little guy at the Bloomington MN Center location for a few months now and everyday he’s happy and playful. We love the mobile app to be able to check in on him and receive regular updates from his teachers. We highly recommend this New Horizon Academy and look forward to a long relationship!
