Focus Group on Tuesday, June 10

June 8, 2025 by NPC Admin

This Tuesday, June 10, the MA Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) will conduct a site visit to Northampton. Two EEC staff who lead the funding and implementation of family engagement programs statewide will be visiting Northampton Parents Center during playgroup. As part of their visit, they’d like to hear from you!

Please consider signing up for one of two half-hour focus groups during playgroup:

Focus Group One (9:30 am – 10:00 am): Playgroup Management
Focus Group Two (10:30 am – 11:00 am): Parenting & Family Joys/Challenges

Anyone who attends playgroup in any capacity is welcome to be part of the focus groups – there will be extra staff on hand to support children in their play while parents/family members/caregivers engage in conversation. For more information or if you are interested, please go to this link: State Family Engagement Leads to Visit NPC

Thank you for your time!
