🌟 Celebrating Our Team’s Hard Work! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share that we recently had an outstanding site visit with Marissa Daley, Program Specialist from Children’s Trust. As part of Healthy Families Massachusetts (HFM)—a program of Children’s Trust—we’re proud to contribute to their mission of supporting families across the state.

This site visit highlighted our commitment to providing thoughtful, high-quality care to the families we serve and recognized the collaborative, supportive environment we work hard to foster.

We’re proud of the positive impact our work is making, and we’re so grateful for the continued support of the Children's Trust. 💛💚

"I'm so happy for our kids. They deserve all the work and dedication that is going into this center. It really is for them."

People Incorporated had a great day yesterday - and so did the children of Fall River.

We officially broke ground on our Early Education Center, and we had amazing guests to join us.

PLUS, Senator Ed Markey, in collaboration with Senator Elizabeth Warren, announced a $2 million federal appropriation towards this great project. 😮

While we take some time to count our many ways to be grateful, please check out the links below to the press release and the photo gallery from the event!
