About HP Community
Highland Park Community Nursery School and Day Care Center, affectionately known as HP Community was founded in 1951 by Martha Struve Freeman to provide high-quality, licensed, early childhood education and care to children 2 to 5. We are committed to providing a safe, educational and nurturing environment where children feel safe, cared for and respected. In November, 2019 we relocated to our new building at 640 Ridge Road, Highland Park.
- Children and families are nurtured and supported and diversity is celebrated.
- Each child’s individual emotional, social, cognitive and physical development is fostered by a skilled and loving staff.
- Play is valued and natural curiosity is encouraged.
- Interpersonal relationships and collaboration are emphasized and seen as avenues for growth and trust.

Testimonials
Community was a wonderful place for my children. I’m a working mom and I knew my kids were safe here and well cared for. I didn’t need to worry about them. It was their home away from home.

All three of our kids went to “Community”… We are so fortunate to have a place like this in our community. We are certainly going to miss it. Hopefully one day our grandchildren will come here.
