BIO

I fell in love with the early childhood field because of my younger sister, who is 15 years younger than me! I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Administration in 2022 and have been a Director of a nonprofit childcare center in southern Minnesota before I moved to Fridley and found my way to New Horizon Academy. I spend my free time doing martial arts, sewing, being outdoors, and just being at home with my boyfriend!

Tracey D., Assistant Director

I highly recommend this daycare center for its exceptional care, dedicated staff, and nurturing environment. From the moment we stepped foot in the school, we experienced a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I can tell that the teachers are skilled and genuinely love children, fostering their development through engaging activities and a well-rounded curriculum. Thank you, New Horizon Academy Fridley, for keeping our kiddos safe and loved.

— Sanmi A., New Horizon Academy Fridley parent

Our preschooler has been at the Fridley New Horizon Academy since she was an infant, and she loves her teachers and friends! It’s hard to leave your infant in the care of someone else, and I had a lot of anxiety when we first started daycare. However, the director is excellent at communication and handled all my “new mom” questions with such care and professionalism. I know our daughter is safe and cared for every day at New Horizon Academy.

— Andrea L., New Horizon Academy Fridley parent

I absolutely love NHA Fridley. This place has been so great for my son . He’s currently in the preschool room, and has made such strides in social and language abilities. The teachers are so patient, kind, and loving to him. I feel so safe and secure knowing he’s going into their care when I drop him off.

— Sarah M., New Horizon Academy Fridley parent

Two thumbs up! We all know a great childcare center is hard to find. So, if you’re reading this, your search is over! New Horizon Academy Fridley provides a caring, safe, clean, and stimulating environment with qualified caregivers who REALLY care. You see this in their interactions with your child, their attendance, and communication with parents. The staff are attentive and respond professionally to any concerns you may have. This is hands down best childcare experience we’ve had!
