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.
At HP Community, we believe every child deserves to thrive. Our mission is to provide a safe, caring and enriching environment where:
- 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.
