Toddlerhood brings a whole set of new joys and challenges to your family.  There are transitions related to increased mobility, new sleep patterns, new foods, toilet learning, and other areas of development.  Come share your coping strategies with others and gain some new ideas from the group while your children enjoy free play together and form first friendships!

Jewish Family Service of MetroWest.

Registration Required!

Calling all Nannies and Grandparents!

Grandparents, are you looking for activities to enjoy while caring for your grandchildren?

NECN is looking for two grandparents and two nannies to co-facilitate play-to-learn groups for multi-ages.

If you are interested please contact Lindsey Tarrant, Program Coordinator for more information.

Natick Families Helping Natick Families

With Thanksgiving approaching, many Natick families need help to provide all of the ingredients of the holiday meal to prepare at home.    The Natick Service Council, one of the many local organizations with whom we partner to serve Natick families, is asking for help from our community.

Please consider helping a Natick family to receive a Thanksgiving meal this year.  Click on this link for more information about sponsoring a family, or call Lindsey or Pam at 508-655-2557 to find out how you can help.
