ABOUT THE CHELMSFORD MOTHERS' CLUB

The Chelmsford Mothers' Club was founded in 1996 by a small group of women who saw a need for a community resource that would help ease the transitions new mothers face while raising infants and young families.  During the last decade, the club has grown from a handful of members to more than 250. Members include residents of Chelmsford and surrounding towns, including Lowell, Billerica, Tyngsboro, Dunstable, Tewksbury, Acton, and Westford.  Members do not have to reside in Chelmsford; we welcome members from all communities.

The club’s purpose is to help mothers of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and even elementary aged children feel supported and connected as they make their journey into motherhood.  We encourage pregnant woman to join so they can meet other new moms in the area and make connections before their baby arrives. Our membership includes stay-at-home mothers, mothers who work full-time or part-time outside the home, as well as a number of mothers who have home businesses. We try to support working moms as much as possible, including scheduling Mom’s Night Out on the weekends or in the evening.

The club provides member-to-member support in the form of monthly meetings. One key benefit of our club is the playgroups. Our Playgroup Coordinator assists in placing new members into playgroups according to their child’s age and schedule. It is then up to the individual playgroup members to schedule the playgroup meetings and locations. We also have several “special interest” playgroups in response to members’ needs, such as a weekend playgroup for working moms and an “English as a second language” playgroup, when needed.

The Chelmsford Mothers' Club is a non-profit volunteer-run organization concerned with current issues and matters relating to young families. The Club is non-political, non-partisan, non-sectarian, and does not endorse issues and/or candidates.

Our mission continues as our founders intended – to be a support group for mothers, but as we continue to grow, we make every effort to adapt and meet the changing needs of our membership. We welcome and encourage input from our members so that the Chelmsford Mothers' Club can be a place where we all feel safe and supported.    Members may send comments or suggestions to us at  info@chelmsfordmothersclub.org.
