A little peek into what this Friday looks like at our Infant/Toddler Program! 💛

Today’s fine motor activity encourages the little ones to use their tiny fingers to grasp and pick up toy keys, helping strengthen hand and finger muscles while building coordination and dexterity.

We are incredibly grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for this important investment in expanding child care options for working families. Thank you for supporting The Community Group and the families we serve! 💙

Commissioner Amy Kershaw was thrilled to be in Gardner today to celebrate the inaugural grantees of the Employer Child Care Innovation Fund (ECCIF), alongside Education Secretary Steve Zrike, Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Lauren Jones, Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley, Gardner Mayor Michael J. Nicholson, state and local officials, program leaders, business and community partners, and, of course, the grantees. 🎉

Graciously hosted by Heywood Healthcare, the event was a great opportunity to hear more about the innovative projects and how employers can help address child care challenges. The pilots will also help identify promising approaches that could be adapted across the Commonwealth.

As we heard throughout the day, early education and care is not just a child care issue — it is a workforce development issue, critical to recruitment and retention, and an important economic driver across Massachusetts.

We had an amazing time at last Sunday's Ciclovia community event on Essex Street. It was wonderful to see the community come out and enjoy a car free space, whether on foot, by bicycle, scooter, or skateboard. It was also wonderful to connect with so many people that make up the Lawrence community!

Thank you for having us! 💙

P.S Did you meet our unofficial mascots?!
