The Medford Family Network (MFN) of the Medford Public Schools is a free parenting education and family support program for families with children from birth through age 7, who live or work in Medford. We focus on the positive impact on the developmental process of these children through supporting the families who care for them. This is accomplished via parenting education workshops; discussion groups; age-specific playgroups; a new moms group; home visitation; family events; lending library of parenting books; drop-in playgroups; information and referral services; family literacy initiatives and individual consultation. There are programs for dads, grandparents, single parents, working parents, at-home parents, parents who speak other languages, and more. Programs are held at the Medford Family Network Family Center and at other sites around Medford - weekdays, evenings and Saturdays. Parent advisory and leadership roles are available and encouraged. All adults caring for young children are welcome!

We would like to let you know about just some of the wonderful programs that the MFN offers, free, to Medford families of young children!
New Mom’s Group:
Are you a new mom? Would you like to join a group of others who know exactly what you mean by the word “tired”? Drop in to this group to get yourself out of the house, introduce your baby to the world and talk to others who understand the challenges of new
motherhood!
Dads are Great Program:
Are you a dad? This program helps create connections between dads and others in a fathering role by offering weekday and weekend activities.
Visiting Moms Program:
This home based program for pregnant women and parents of newborns, matches trained Visiting Mom volunteers with families who would benefit from having a supportive connection. The focus is on the concerns and questions of new parents and it offers individualized attention for new families.
Fitness & Well Being Programs:
Great programs for post-partum moms to strengthen, stretch & tone.
Playgroups:
We have a variety of Drop In groups at the Family Center; age specific playgroups, themed playgroup (nutrition, culture, fairy tales), sing-a-longs, music & movement programs.

The MFN is an *amazing* resource. Recently I took a health & wellness exercise class - 10 classes for 1.5 hours each, for free! The class was great, AND they had free babysitting. They had 3 wonderful women watching the children of the women in the class in the other half of the gym and a quiet room. My children *loved* the "playgroup" - children 6 months to 5 years old.
We've also really been enjoying the "Playgroups in the Park" - they have crafts, toys, circle time, and free play on the playground equipment. My children are 4.5 years old, but it seems to be a big hit with the entire 5 and under crowd!
i love this group. i have a 2 year old and a 7 mon. old. my daugher belongs to a group for 1 and 2 year olds but i can also bring my little one which is great.she has so much fun
