Neighborhood Villages Block Party

Ten years ago, Neighborhood Villages was founded on the belief that children and the people who care for them deserve a child care system that works. Today, because of you, we are a village that people can rely on and we are on our way to showing that a child care system is possible. To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are throwing a Neighborhood Villages Block Party affair on Thursday, November 12! We hope you’ll join us to mark how far we’ve come and to celebrate the many partners - including you - who have made our work possible.

We’re thrilled to be honoring transformative leaders in early education in Massachusetts: 

Dr. Michelle Sanchez, Principal of the Epiphany School and Early Learning Center

Commonwealth Children’s Fund (Award accepted by Co-Founder Melora Balson)

And featuring special guests, DJ Pup Dog – spinning a true Block Party set at cocktail hour – and comedian and New York Times bestselling author Zarna Garg, who will bring down the house as part of the night’s program. 

When: Thursday, November 12, 2026

6-7pm Cocktails

7pm Dinner and Program

Where: Renaissance Boston Seaport, 606 Congress Street

Join us to celebrate how far we have come – and how much we look forward to what comes next!
