Riverside’s Early Head Start program prepares children for preschool and helps families learn parenting skills. To introduce families to the program, it plans a free community baby shower from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at 474 Broadway, Magoun Square, Somerville. Pregnant women and parents with infants up to 3 months old are invited to come and form connections with other parents and community service agencies.
Attendees will get resources, snacks, the chance to develop parenting skills – and the chance to celebrate. Everyone at the shower will leave with a goodie bag designed to support newborns.
Call (781) 468-6010 or text “shower” to that number to register.
The Early Head Start program promotes healthy child development by helping families before and after a child is born. Services provided by Riverside Early Head Start include:
- Weekly home visits focused on child development and wellness
- Parent-child playgroups and socialization activities
- Health, safety and nutrition education
- Prenatal information and support
- Parent workshops and training
- Community events, including annual baby showers.
Early Head Start is a free home-visiting program for income-eligible families in Cambridge, Somerville and Medford. Information is here.
