I live in Rogers with my husband and our two girls. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my family. We love to watch movies, play board games, and go outside. When we are not at work or home, we are at the dance studio watching our girls dance! I love working with and being around children. They bring me so much joy!

What is your favorite children’s book?
“The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear” by Don Wood
New Horizon Academy - Peony is an exceptional childcare center. We actually had our daughter registered at a different center, but it didn't feel right. Then, when we toured New Horizon Academy, it felt right. The staff are so warm, kind, and fun. They genuinely care about our daughter. It's so fun to chat with her teachers during drop-off and pick-up. They are personable and approachable, they share updates in the app throughout the day, and they plan really exciting themes for the kids. Our daughter has learned so much, made many friends, and improved her self-help skills. We are so impressed with the growth she has made in such a short time. The decision to send our daughter "out into the world" was very nerve-wracking, but when she's at NHA we know we don't have to worry. We cannot recommend New Horizon Academy enough.

This New Horizon Academy is hands down one of the best daycares we've been to. We've moved a lot and have tried different daycares, but this one is top-notch. The teachers really care about and love our daughter, even when she's having her tough days. She loves going to school and we can tell that she loves her teachers. When we had to move again for work, it was really hard saying goodbye. The teachers even made her a really meaningful goodbye gift that made me tear up.
