School is in full swing, with homework, assessments, and parent-teacher conferences beginning to pile up. If you’ve noticed some gaps in your child’s academic progress, Sylvan Learning of Albertville could be just what you need.
Sylvan Learning provides personalized tutoring and homework support for K-12 students who need help catching up to their classmates, improving their math or reading skills, or taking on advanced classes. The new Sylvan center, located right here in Albertville near Coborn’s, opened its doors in August and is ready to serve STMA families.

St. Michael is getting ready to make some beautiful music with the addition of its newest business, SoundHouse.
Located just two minutes west of downtown St. Michael, SoundHouse is on a mission to provide high-quality music education to families in the STMA area. The instructors currently offer private lessons in piano, guitar, drums, and voice and plan to add both group lessons and early childhood classes in the near future.
There’s a new kid-friendly business opening in Albertville this week, and it packs a whole lot of fun into one little building! Located just off of Main Avenue and around the corner from city hall, Peekabooboo’s Play Café is an indoor play space that gives little ones a place to explore, create, imagine, and burn off some energy.
I got a chance to tour the café and was both surprised and impressed by what its owner, local mom Kirsten Winscher, has been able to create inside the tiny building that previously housed a small travel agency.
It’s “birthday season” in our house, which means my kids are buzzing with ideas about how to celebrate. Luckily, the STMA area has a huge variety of options when it comes to birthday party venues.
