The Harvard Family Association (HFA)  is a group of Families in Harvard who voluntarily organize and plan activities and services for Harvard families with young children (at least one of the children being birth through 5 years). These services and programs are offered at no cost where possible - or at a discounted cost to members.  The HFA is a non-profit group.  Any funds raised will go to further programming within the community.  All families are welcome.  No family will be excluded from participating on the basis of race, creed, religion, income, etc.

Whether you are a first time parent, new to the area or just want to meet new people , The Harvard Family Association is a great way to get involved in the community and have fun while you’re at it!
