          BIO

          I live here in Lakeville with my husband and children. In the summer, we love spending time camping in our fifth wheel. I also enjoy crafting with my Cricut and being involved in my children’s activities.

          What do you like about early childhood?

          The thing I love most about being in early childhood is the relationships we build with families. We are not just taking care of children, we are caring for families. We are a school family.

          What is your favorite children’s book?

          Oh there are so many to pick! When I was a toddler teacher I loved reading the Llama Llama series to my class. As a mom, my kids and I loved reading The Little Blue Truck series.

          BIO

          In my free time, I love to travel and experience new things. I enjoy being outside when the weather is nice; paddle boarding, rollerblading, snowboarding, ice-skating, sitting by a fire. I also enjoy spending time with my dog, Bentley, and my partner, Jack. Taking each day as its own new adventure is something I am learning to do.

          What do you like about early childhood?

          I love that the children are so excited to learn and that they get to grow so much from the time they start with us to the time they go to kindergarten.

          What makes your school unique?

          Our school is unique because majority of our teachers have their degree in Early Childhood or are working towards their degree to advance their education skills.

          I’m very happy with the care my boys get at New Horizon Academy in Ramsey! I trust the kind and caring teachers, and my little guys always have a great day. New Horizon’s curriculum is excellent, they serve healthy food, and we love the extra fun days and in-house field trips that they offer. Thank you New Horizon Academy!

          — Heather M., New Horizon Academy Ramsey parent

          The teachers are all incredibly kind and organized, maintaining a safe, warm, and welcoming atmosphere at New Horizon Academy in Ramsey! The kids are given personalized learning targets and are taught sign language, math, science, and the arts – even in the infant classroom! As a K-12 teacher myself, I am so impressed with this early childhood program.

          — Becca H., New Horizon Academy Ramsey parent

          We have truly enjoyed our experience at New Horizon Academy! The director and teachers have done everything to make sure she has been comfortable and happy in her class. From day one, she was greeted by name and with a smile. She absolutely loves her teachers and looks forward to going. Sometimes, I don’t think she wants to leave! I love the diverse and healthy food menu, the activities they do each day, the learning experience, and the cleanliness of the facility. The staff truly go above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience for the kids and their families.

          — Nicole J., New Horizon Academy Ramsey parent

          My daughter is at the Ramsey New Horizon Academy, and I must say that is the best decision my wife and I made. With the help of the amazing teachers and the management team, my daughter transitioned so quickly and now loves going to the school and seeing all her teachers!
