🌊💜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.

🌊💜✨ Staff Spotlight: Megan Smith ✨💜🌊

With 16 years of experience in early childhood education, Megan Smith brings both heart and expertise to the field she has dedicated her life to serving. Since beginning her career in 2010, Megan has worked with children from infancy through school age, building a strong foundation in both classroom teaching and early childhood administration.

Megan earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology with a concentration in Child Development from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and is currently pursuing her Master’s in Early Childhood Education. Her passion for lifelong learning doesn’t stop there - she already has plans to continue on to earn her doctorate in the field!

A fun full-circle moment: Megan first entered the early childhood field working alongside Jocelyn many years ago, and now they’ve found their way back together again at First Wave Familes. 🌊💜

We’re so grateful for Megan’s dedication, knowledge, and commitment to supporting children and families every day! @msyfs_easternshore @marylandece @marylandfamilynetwork @megenglishmen
