I love being an asset to early childhood education! After being in the field for over a decade, I appreciate the growth and development not only seen in the children entrusted in my care, but also within myself as a long-term teacher. My own 2 boys have reaped the benefits of learning, exploring, and challenging themselves within our classrooms. I am so proud to be part of the New Horizon Academy family as integral staff member and parent!
