Hi P.,
I live on the Apple Valley/Burnsville border, and stay home with my almost 2-year old daughter. We live in the Apple Valley school disctrict, and can highly recommend the Apple Valley ECFE courses. Sign up as soon as possible, as the classes fill up early. I've missed 2 sessions since Gwun was born, because I was slow to register.
There are tons of fun things to do around here. Library has ton of events...and the Apple Valley community center has open-gym time which is a hit with the toddler kids (Monday and Wednesday mornings 10:45).
I haven't used any babysitters yet, as we have family members nearby competing for turns to babysit, but I know other moms who could recommend some good babysitters. ( We could always exchange day-time playdates amongst ourselves too.)
Anyhow, if you want to try to meet up at the library, Community Center, or help finding other events, let me know. --K.
