Early Childhood Opportunities

The Center for Families Newsletter is full of information, resources, and supports for Cambridge families with children birth-8 years old.

We understand the importance of community and the power of compassion. As a 100% volunteer-run program, we are committed to supporting vulnerable individuals and families in Cambridge, MA.

When people come in we can help them use their digital devices (smartphones, tablets, computers), apply for services online, learn digital literacy and safety/privacy tips, and get access to devices.

Join us on Zoom, 10am ET, for half an hour, on occasional Saturdays to learn and practice techniques for having difficult conversations.

We've created orienteering courses throughout the city of Cambridge to get you and your family outside and moving around. Check out our map courses on our website!

We promote the earliest parent-child relationships by helping parents manage the care of a new baby.

Qualifying individuals can apply to receive affordable internet access and a new laptop.

We provide summer reading book recommendations; activities for children, teens, and adults; live events; as well as prizes and giveaways throughout July and August.

Our youth and teen summer classes include in-person and virtual dance classes for ages 4 and up!

We offer lots of free events throughout the year for people of all ages with a love of learning!

We offer nature-based games and activities, art, live music, food, and lots of other programs and activities for all ages, year-round.

Cambridge Dads was created to increase fatherhood engagement in programming. The program strives to ensure dads are engaged, informed, and feel supported in their role as parents.
