Hello Summer 2017!
This week, the Mothers’ Center of Central NJ kicked off its summer season of activities for moms and their children! We started the week with our weekly Playgroup in the newly renovated playroom and craft room – it was wonderful to see new and familiar faces come together to play, chat and share wisdom.
On Tuesday morning, moms came together for discussion group to talk about the challenges and joys of motherhood and in the evening, more moms gathered for our first Moms’ Night Out at the Jazz festival in Westfield. It was a wonderful day full of bonding and laughter.
Today, we welcomed moms and their kids at our first Creative Expressions class where everyone sang, danced, listened to wonderful stories, and drew with chalks. Seeing the happy faces of the children (and moms) reminded us of the great community that we have and why the Mothers’ Center plays an important role in each families’ lives.

Another Fun Family Event: 6th Annual 2017 NJ Miles with Moms
On Sunday, April 23rd 2017, the Mothers’ Center of Central New Jersey hosted its 6th annual NJ Miles with Moms fundraiser. Everyone from devoted runners to happy babies in strollers participated in the one-mile and 5K races. Additionally, the “kids fun run” had children racing their hearts out to the cheers of proud parents. Not all realized the shortest distance between two points is a straight line but all were rewarded with a shiny medal regardless.
The event also featured activities by Tinkergarten and Creative Kids, face painting, a DJ, and giveaways. We are so grateful for all of our sponsors, participants, volunteers and the 5K committee for making this event a success – THANK YOU! Enjoy the below collection of photos from our fundraiser. See you next year!
