History
For more than 30 years, Families First has been a leader in providing parenting education across the Greater Boston area.
The organization was founded in 1988 with the goal of helping parents navigate the diverse challenges of raising children by providing research-based parenting education services.
Today, Families First provides Boston’s most comprehensive model for early childhood parenting education, family engagement, and parent leadership: the Power of Parenting program and the Ripple Program.
As a result of Families First’s high-impact, multi-tiered program model, parents will support the development of their children’s social-emotional and cognitive skills, embrace their role as the most important force in their children’s learning and well-being, and gain new skills and resources to support and advocate for their children as they grow.
