My main experience in early childhood education is with infants and toddlers at New Horizon Academy, where I developed a love for observing the curiosity children have about all aspects of life. Outside of my passion for early childhood education, I enjoy reading a variety of genres. I love spending time with my family and friends, and exploring all the beautiful scenery Minnesota has to offer!

I cannot express enough how grateful my family is to have found this particular daycare center. It has been our go-to place for over 5 years now, and we wouldn't want it any other way. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure that my children are well taken care of, both physically and emotionally. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than knowing that my children are being cared for in such a loving and safe environment. I am forever grateful to the teachers and staff at this daycare center for their dedication, passion, and commitment. They have become like an extended family to us, and we are eternally thankful for the positive impact they have had on our lives.

We have two children that have been enrolled at the Uptown Minneapolis New Horizon Academy since they were infants. At every stage/classroom we have been thoroughly impressed with the teachers, curriculum, and overall care provided. The teachers and leadership all have a deep connection with our children and their development. Their progression to different classrooms is not based on generic benchmarks such as age or walking -the New Horizon team communicates openly about the maturity and development of the child and why they think they should or should not move to new classrooms. New Horizon Academy Uptown has everything you expect in a day care: safe, clean, transparent, kind, etc. but they also do the little things that makes this place so much more.
