First Wave Families will open a new Maryland Patty Center–Family Support Program at 4384 Crisfield Highway in October 2026, expanding access to family support services for residents of Somerset County and surrounding communities. Families interested in participating are encouraged to visit firstwavefamilies.org and contact staff now to begin connecting with programs, resources, and upcoming opportunities before the center officially opens.

Patty Center–Family Support Programs offer free services designed to support families with children ages four and younger and expectant parents, including parenting education, developmental screenings, early intervention referrals, playgroups, child socialization opportunities, parent peer support, family engagement activities, and connections to mental health and community resources. The goal is simple: to help infants, toddlers, and preschoolers thrive by ensuring parents and caregivers have access to the information, support, and services they need. The expansion is part of Maryland’s implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, which calls for increased access to comprehensive family support services alongside high-quality early childhood education.

First Wave Families works closely with Worcester County Public Schools, Somerset County Public Schools, municipal government, and local Judy Centers to connect families with coordinated, wraparound support that strengthens both children and caregivers.

First Wave Families operates in partnership with Maple Shade Youth and Family Services and is part of Maryland's statewide network funded by Maryland Family Network and the Maryland State Department of Education. The result of this collaboration is a trusted, high-quality system of support that combines local expertise with statewide resources, oversight, accountability, and best practices in family engagement and early childhood development. First Wave Families Somerset is one of six new Patty Center–Family Support Programs being planned.

For more info visit firstwavefamilies.org, email info@firstwavefamilies.org, or call 443.577.0810. @msyfs_easternshore @scps_md @marylandfamilynetwork

🌊💜First Wave Families was proud to join Worcester County Public Schools at the Community Schools Partnership Showcase!

As Maryland Patty Centers for Family Support, we know that children thrive when families, schools, healthcare providers, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations work together. Supporting a child's success means looking beyond the classroom to strengthen every part of their development from early learning and healthy relationships to mental wellness, parent education, developmental screening, and connections to community resources.

Community Schools and First Wave Families share the same belief: when we invest in the whole child and surround families with strong networks of support, every child has a greater opportunity to reach their full potential.

We're grateful to partner with WCPS and so many dedicated organizations working together to build healthier families, stronger communities, and brighter futures.
