Strong communities start with strong families, and NMPA member cities understand the importance of accessible, high-quality child care. Many communities support local providers, Head Start programs, and licensed in-home care to help working families thrive. For example, Fosston, Thief River Falls and Roseau are home to early childhood education centers and community-supported child care networks that make raising a family easier and more affordable.
Beyond essentials, these communities are packed with amenities that enhance everyday life. Enjoy four-season recreation in places like Warroad and Baudette, where world-class fishing, boating and snowmobiling are just outside your door. Take advantage of vibrant downtowns like those in Hawley and Grafton, which offer shopping, dining and locally owned businesses. Many towns feature fitness centers, public libraries, performing arts centers and active community events — like Park River's annual arts and wine walk or Stephen's family-friendly summer festivals. Green space is abundant too, with public parks, trail systems, and access to some of Minnesota and North Dakota’s most beautiful natural areas.
Whether you're relocating your family, starting a business or seeking a quieter pace of life, NMPA communities offer the perfect mix of opportunity, affordability and connection.
