The Family Center Connections: November 2022

Heart to Heart

Hey families! New things are coming your way and I wanted to introduce you to some exciting programs and events that will be happening soon.

The Family Finance Workshop will help those of you with goals around money, like understanding and improving your credit score, family budgeting, first time home buyer information, and building savings. This first workshop will help us to understand the wants and needs of families in our community to plan future learning opportunities. We can't wait to hear from you!
Our Online Sensational Baby Class will be available this month to families with children ages 6 weeks to 12 months. These 5 sessions will guide you through finding new ways to calm and soothe your baby with nurturing touch. We will talk about reading baby's behavior, colic/gas relief and learn some strategies to begin a nighttime routine.
Family Center Open Houses will begin this month. We would love to show you around our new space and have some coffee together. Children are welcome!

We hope to see you soon!

Meet Our Team

Hello! My name is Ana Herrera and I am The Family Center Assistant. I have been a resident of Chambersburg for 22 years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and loved ones. I love going into the community and giving back. I have worked with Head Start families for 9 Years in a couple of different roles. In my experience with working with families, I worked closely with providing quality services in Health, Nutrition, Disabilities and in achieving future goals and successful relationships. I believe that working with families is meaningful and rewarding work. I will always communicate with all families with respect, honesty, clarity and be thoughtful and respectful to their culture and wishes. I am extremely excited to dedicate myself to the community and all families and children of all different backgrounds.
