Good morning, Framingham.

The Early Childhood Alliance of Framingham received a $150,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation to restore its ParentChild+ program that pairs early learning specialists with families of children 16 months to 3 years.

The three-year funding will help the alliance regain capacity lost to budget cuts.

On July 9, families and visitors from Framingham enjoyed a cool summer day at Lake Cochituate in Natick, where canoeing + tubing provided fun water recreation.
