What is your favorite children’s book?
“Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch
I highly recommend the New Horizon Academy in Highland Park! My son attended for five years and in each of those years, we watched him learn, play, laugh, and build lifelong friendships. The center director and teachers felt like an extension of our family. I have a unique appreciation for the educational skills my son acquired at New Horizon Academy, as I am a kindergarten teacher myself. When my son graduated High Five, he had incredible literacy skills that allowed him to enter kindergarten ready and willing to read. We love the St. Paul Highland Park NHA!
