Family Support

Parenting is a tough and rewarding job. All parents need support and encouragement. Community Action offers playgroups, family activities, parenting education, and support for many kinds of parents and caregivers. 

The Family Learning Center provides adult education classes for parents looking to earn their GED, as well as an on-site Early Head Start infant/toddler child care program for enrolled Franklin County and North Quabbin families. 

Healthy Families provides free in-home support to pregnant or first-time parents, age 20 and under, living in Franklin & Hampshire Counties, as well as Chester and Ludlow.

The Parent-Child Home Program promotes school-readiness by involving children, ages 2 & 3, in education play during home visits. 

The Franklin County Family Network/Massachusetts Family Center offers resources for parents and caregivers, as well as playgroups and fun activities for children 0 - 6 years of age.
