Who We Are

Northampton Parents Center (NPC) is led by two fully dedicated staff who work just part-time. A team of work-study students from Smith College provide helping hands and assistance during playgroup. 

In addition, NPC is supported by a Board of Directors, Parents Advisory Committee (PAC), and other caregivers, community members, and local businesses who generously volunteer their time and expertise.

Lindsey King, Executive Director (she/her)

Lindsey started at NPC in 2023, and stepped into the role of Executive Director in July 2024. Before joining NPC, Lindsey was a postpartum doula, and especially loved connecting with first-time parents. Lindsey is a mama to 3 kids, Ovie, Ramona, and Mayla – they have been keeping her on her toes since 2013! 🙂

Lindsey grew up outside Philly, but Western MA has been home for many years. She loves to explore the valley with her kids, and see live music with her pals.
