Welcome from The Executive Director


Forty Carrots Family Center was founded with a singular purpose: strengthening families, the foundation of any community. Whether the family is a teenage mom and her baby at one of our On Wheels sites, or a professional couple sending their little ones to our NAEYC accredited preschool, Forty Carrots is here to offer information, skills and support. We welcome you to our family, and invite you to put down roots.
