FOR FAMILIES

Our goal at the Early Childhood Alliance of Framingham is to ensure all families have access to:

  • A place that makes transitions for children smoother by providing clear communication about what you need to enter school and the educational resources that can assist with making these transitions easier 
  • A place where a computer is readily available at the Family Resource Center for families and educators to utilize in their search for important information
  • A place where you know the information you share is confidential
  • A place where you can find family literacy activities and parent support programs
  • A place where we can learn from you on ways to improve our community and schools and be the best we can be!
  • A place where we celebrate the linkages between education and community
