BIO

While I am originally from Stillwater, Minnesota, I enjoy being part of the Minneapolis community. I love boating on the St. Croix River with my partner, Bryan. Although we are now empty nesters, we like to stay busy by being active, attending live concerts, and taking our dog, Blue, on walks. I believe in making the best out of each day for myself and others, always looking for the silver linings.

Our Learning Programs

I love this place! The teachers and staff are so welcoming and caring. As a first-time daycare parent, I couldn’t have made a better decision than choosing New Horizon Academy. All of my worries went out of the window when I chose the Downtown East location. My son has been attending for almost a year now and he loves it – from the teachers to his friends and all the fun events and activities they offer. He is thriving thanks to all of you. Thank you to the wonderful staff at NHA Minneapolis Downtown East!

— Meena P., New Horizon Academy Minneapolis parent

The location and staff at the Downtown East school are amazing! I love the app updates the teachers provide throughout the day. And having Starbucks right next door is an added bonus!

— Regan P., New Horizon Academy Minneapolis parent

I feel so lucky to have my son go to daycare here. It’s the best decision I have ever made. The staff are so welcoming and kind. The level of care and consideration they have for my son is amazing. The teachers have gone out of their way to have my son feel welcomed and loved. He is learning so much and bringing that knowledge back into our home. He has grown more within the month of him being here than he has in the past year with his previous daycare. This location has set the bar high for childcare, and I now expect nothing less for him.

— Donna H., New Horizon Academy Minneapolis parent

New Horizon Academy Downtown East is such a warm and welcoming community. They all know, love, and support our son. We are so very thankful for the time he spends here, and the excellent care he received from each and every person at New Horizon Academy.

— Kelly E., New Horizon Academy Minneapolis parent
