Birth to Three Family Center

In 2000, leaders in the Ipswich Public Schools embraced the learning of all students by supporting foundational early development. With a commitment to our youngest children and a Massachusetts family support grant, a family center opened in a downtown storefront. Parents, educators, and community leaders partnered to bring an exceptional resource to the children in the Birth to Three Family Center. It continues to serve as a hub for young children and families and those working alongside them.
