Coordinated Family & Community Engagement Program
The PACE CFCE Program supports parents as their children's first, best, and most important teachers.
The program includes the communities of New Bedford, Dartmouth, Acushnet, Fairhaven, Freetown, Lakeville, Berkley, Seekonk, Swansea, Dighton, and Rehoboth. We are a non-profit family support organization that provides FREE comprehensive services.
Our programs include:
- Weekly Playgroups
- Music & Movement Activities
- Early Literacy Story Hours
- ParentChild+ Home-Based Program

Our goal is to support parents as they guide their children to reach their optimum potential. We have many community partners who share the same goal of strengthening our communities. Find out more about our work below or get in touch with our team by emailing us at pacecfce@paceccw.org.
Funding for the Coordinated Family & Community Engagement Grant (CFCE) is provided by the MA Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).
