UPDATE: Our 2022-2023 season is complete! We will hold summer playgroups on Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11 am at Bridge Street School beginning July 5! Daily playgroups will resume at NPC in September. See you soon!

Welcome to our Northampton Parents Center and Northampton/Hadley Family Connection Programs for all   families with young children (birth to kindergarten age)! We look forward to seeing you! We welcome families from all towns. All of our programs are FREE of charge. Parent and caregiver participation with our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) and/or fundraisers is greatly appreciated and donations are welcome. We appreciate when families preregister (below), and we also welcome drop-in participants to all playgroups. Please read the following and then continue below to register.

Weekly schedule for Spring:
We have Monday through Thursday daily drop-in playgroups in Northampton, 9:30 to 11:30 am. Our indoor space at Edwards Church has recently had the HVAC system fully upgraded!

On severe weather days, we will move the outdoor group indoors - please check here or on our social media pages for updates.

Northampton Parents Center’s COVID-19 Pandemic Social Contract            
2022-2023
For all NPC OUTDOOR Programs:
NPC's OUTDOOR programs are mask-optional.
Due to the current decrease in community spread and COVID cases in Hampshire County, and considering the general safety and low-spread in the outdoors, as well as the feedback from our families (via a poll and conversations), our playgroups are currently mask optional. This is subject to change, as metrics change. Still, our families include families with the very youngest children who cannot yet be vaccinated, and so we ask families to consider distancing and to be mindful of the comfort level of other families present. Please respect the wishes and needs of the families with your family at playgroups. We ask that you stay home if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19. We have the expectation that families will consider the health and well-being of each other. We welcome your feedback on these guidelines. Please speak with our facilitators if your family is having any challenges with our protocols. 

For all NPC INDOOR Programs:
Please stay home if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19.
We appreciate your assistance with supporting our community’s well being. We will do our best to offer the wonderfully welcoming, fun, and connected programming that we always strive for!

Looking forward to seeing you soon and enjoying our programs together.
Thank you,

Swansea Benham Bleicher (she/her)

ALL of our programs are FREE for all families thanks to a grant from the MA Department of Early Education and Care administered by Northampton Public Schools! This grant pays for about 25% of our program's expenses. The balance of NPC’s budget comes from other grants, fundraisers, and individual/family/business donations of in-kind services or money.
