Awards and Accolades
I grew up in the small town of Detroit Lakes, MN, and made my journey to the twin cities area 7 years ago. My boyfriend and I live in Richfield with our amazing puppy, Bandit. I have 2 nieces and 4 nephews whom I absolutely adore, and spend most of my free time with when I’m able to get home. At the end of the day, I unwind by reading a good book, going on long walks with my puppy, and enjoying the company of friends and family.

“The Wonderful Things You Will Be” by Emily Winfield Martin
My child has been going to the Edina New Horizon Academy for 2 years. We've loved the structures of both the toddler and preschool classrooms. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, and just amazing. We wouldn't dream of going to any other daycare facility. I'm always surprised at how much my child learns each day and all the relationships he builds with his teachers and classmates.
