Mondays and Fridays, we travel to your local library! We are so grateful to partner with Holland Public Library & The Brimfield Public Library!!

Such a great opportunity for families to visit your local library, connect with other children and caregivers, and learn together! 📚💛

Our FREE Storytime groups welcome children ages 0–6 with a caregiver, from our littlest friends enjoying lap sit to our bigger preschoolers getting ready for school. Being around children of different ages gives little ones wonderful opportunities to socialize, observe, learn from one another, and build confidence.

And there is SO much learning happening while they’re having fun! Through stories, songs, movement, activities, and play, children are exposed to thousands of new words and vocabulary while practicing important skills that align with what they’ll eventually use in school — fine motor, gross motor, early literacy and reading, communication, social-emotional skills, following directions, taking turns, and so much more.

Family Foundations 5 is also here as a resource for caregivers. We provide developmental screenings, referrals, family resources, and connections to local programs and schools.

We are an EEC-funded CFCE program through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts serving the Tantasqua Regional/Union 61 School District, helping build that bridge between families and the school system from birth. ❤️

Come read, play, learn, and connect with us! 📚✨

For anyone who may not know about us yet, we’d love to introduce ourselves! 📚✏️

Family Foundations 5 CFCE is funded through the Massachusetts Department of Early Education & Care (EEC) to provide FREE programs, resources and support to families throughout the Tantasqua Regional/Union 61 District.

We offer playgroups, educational programs, developmental support, parenting resources, community connections and more for families with children ages 0–6 with a caregiver - always at NO cost to families!

Some groups require preregistration, while many are drop-in. We post our schedules monthly AND weekly on Facebook, so follow Family Foundations 5 CFCE to keep up with where we’ll be and what’s coming next!

Whether you’ve been joining us for years or have never heard of us before, we’d love to welcome you and your little ones! 💝👏🏼

I can’t believe we’re already heading into September! 🍎🍂 We are SO excited to kick off a brand new year in our new classroom, with some of our returning favorite groups and lots of brand new ones to explore!

A quick registration update:

💕 Playful by Nature is FULL!
🚀 Takeoff Tuesday is FULL!
✏️We still have a couple of spots available for Explore + More on Thursdays. Spots are first come, first serve, so email [email protected] to sign up!

📚Everything else on our September calendar is drop-in, so just come join us!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back, meet some new friends, and see what this new year brings! 💙🌟

And ... PLEASE SHARE! Our goal this year is to make sure everyone in the district with children ages 0-6 know who we are, what we do, and that we offer weekly FREE playgroups to explore, connect and grow!

Re sharing - if anybody had already emailed about this, we did not get it unless I replied. It was just brought to our attention that we had our email address listed as gmail.com instead of Tantasqua.org! So sorry for any confusion!

We can’t believe our Take Off Tuesdays group is almost FULL already! 🚀💛 We are so excited to see so many families joining us this fall!
