People Involved
The Hennepin County search warrant obtained by the Associated Press identified Nathan Brown. After stabbing his wife and kid in the daycare Kristen operated out of the family’s basement in Hopkins, a Minneapolis suburb, Nathan then shot himself in a closet upstairs. Here’s all you need to know about Nathan Brown. “I come from a small town in rural South Dakota. I realized early on that I loved working with children. It is a truly rewarding experience to watch them learn and grow. I also attained a minor in Speech, Language, Hearing Sciences which focused on how children learn and develop. The last four years before starting Brown Bear, I was working as a Certified Optometric Vision Therapist. This profession allowed me to work with people of all ages infant to senior. In addition to improving vision, this position allowed me to work with reading and learning skills, memory, gross motor, hand-eye coordination, and primitive reflexes. I find it very intriguing how working with the whole child or adult makes the greatest difference in learning, memory, and quality of life.
I started babysitting when I was 10 years old, which progressed to a regular, every other weekend position that I held until I was 14. I was also able to work in my mother’s family child care center when I turned 12,” she wrote. “In 2010 I graduated from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education Foundations. In October 2018, I had my own child.
As much as I loved my previous positions, I believe that it is time to return to child care so that I can be home with her.
I plan to take all the skills that I have learned in my journey and use them help my daughter and those children (who will hopefully become life-long friends) blossom into happy, intelligent, caring individuals,” she further said.
