About

The mission of the Birth to Three Family Center (B23)  is to increase children's potential for healthy development and well-being.  We seek to do this by providing programs and services to support parents and children from birth through age 6. B23 coordinates a local infrastructure of supports and services that ensures all families with young children have access in their community to high-quality, accurate and readily available information; strength based family education and early literacy activities; coordinated resources; leadership opportunities; and integrated and aligned network of parents and providers. 
​
The Center, located at Town Hall, provides a foundation supporting the early learning process:
For Children -  

• free programs, age specific playgroups and opportunities for social and emotional growth in a stimulating, safe, child-centered environment.

For Parents - 

• peer support, expert modeling, workshops and guided conversations

Birth to Three Ipswich partners with local community groups, regional social services resources and professionals to create a range of programming for Ipswich youth. 

• Please take a look at our community partners to find out about past programs that you or your company could support.
