The Family Center is open several days a week. We are located next to The Learning Factory on Springfield Street, across from Hryniewicz Park in the Three Rivers Section of Palmer. Parking is available in spaces bordering the park. There are no income or developmental requirements and participation is voluntary. The Family Center , which serves as the Network s base, is especially equipped with toys and other materials for children under the age of four.
Older siblings are always welcome, too.
Children can play, learn, explore, and make new friends in a friendly, family-centered setting. We offer activities and programs designed to provide entertainment, enrichment, and learning for young children. The Lending Library at the Family Center includes books, videos and other resources for parents, and child care providers. Workshops for parents help us to learn about and cope with some of the common challenges of parenting an infant or young child. Free programs on topics such as sleeping, eating, behavior, or shyness are addressed by early childhood specialists.
