"I have come to know, love, and depend on the Medford Family Network! 

After being involved in this wonderful organization after seven years, I cannot possibly envision my life without it.  I have met such wonderful caring, sharing people in all the family events, concerts, and parent education and support groups.  Being a mother to three growing and active children (ages 11, 9, and 5), my life is so busy and crazy that I sometimes forget about what's really important: my family.

"The MFN has been invaluable to me and my family.  It continues to help us become better parents and help our girls to learn and grow, but most importantly it has given my family a sense of community.  We feel like we are now part of Medford."

"This program has been life changing for me.  It has taught my chldren and I about friendships, support, and belonging.  Everywhere we go in Medford, we always run into people we know that our kids have grown up with.  There is a true sense of community.  Those of us with children who have out grown the program are now in school together.  We know and trust each other to take over for each other when the other needs help or support, you know, 'it takes a village' and we have it here in Medford."

"Children are a mysterious gift.  Parenting is a journey.  I feel fortunate that I sought out and found a vehicle to ride along the way."

The MFN is an *amazing* resource. Recently I took a health & wellness exercise class - 10 classes for 1.5 hours each, for free! The class was great, AND they had free babysitting. They had 3 wonderful women watching the children of the women in the class in the other half of the gym and a quiet room. My children *loved* the "playgroup" - children 6 months to 5 years old.

We've also really been enjoying the "Playgroups in the Park" - they have crafts, toys, circle time, and free play on the playground equipment. My children are 4.5 years old, but it seems to be a big hit with the entire 5 and under crowd!

I love this group. I have a 2 year old and a 7 mon. old. my daugher belongs to a group for 1 and 2 year olds but I can also bring my little one which is great.  She has so much fun.
