Awards and Accolades
I have always wanted to work with young children and now with more than 9 years experience in the field, I enjoy using my skills to ensure I am creating a safe and educational environment for all. I am currently the director of the Champlin location, but I have also had the roles of an assistant director and a toddler teacher. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my sons. We enjoy gardening, making sourdough, and learning new skills.

New Horizon Academy made it so easy for me to feel safe leaving my 6-week-old full-time at daycare. Now, 5 years later as a mom of 3 boys, this daycare center has become like family. It’s amazing to be able to have the same teachers over the years caring for my children! I will forever recommend the Champlin New Horizon Academy.
We’ve seen tremendous growth since our daughter started at New Horizon Academy in Champlin. Thanks to the teachers and staff, my daughter loves going to daycare. They are friendly and truly care about the kids.
NHA Champlin is one of the best early childhood education centers in the metro. They have a wonderful program that is smoothly operated by very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful staff. I’ve seen first hand the level of care, compassion, and education that the children receive. The teachers and management at this center are some of the most caring folks I’ve met. I can guarantee that your child will flourish as a student here and you will love your experience.
I have experienced many daycare centers over the past 8-10 years, and I’m so glad my search for the best care is over after trying New Horizon Academy in Champlin. Most of the staff have been there for 5 years or more, with some super veterans who have been there 25+ years. I trust the teachers and staff here, which is truly the most important thing to consider when searching for care for your child.
