Family Nurturing Center of MA

The mission of Family Nurturing Center (FNC) is to work with others to build nurturing communities where children are cherished, families are supported, and healthy human development is promoted by all.

To achieve its mission, FNC provides family support and education programs that strengthen families and support school readiness by building parents’ nurturing skills and knowledge of healthy child development and connecting families to each other, to their community, and to resources. FNC employs two main strategies for supporting families: Nurturing Parenting Programs and neighborhood-based Family Support Networks, which include home visits, parent-child groups, and parenting education. FNC also builds capacity in other organizations through Training and Technical Assistance in Boston and statewide.

Family Nurturing Center serves nearly 1,400 families—3,000 parents and children—each year. For more information, please visit www.familynurturing.org.
