Welcome!

The Bayway Family Success Center is a community gathering place and safe haven. Our goal is to enrich the lives of children, reduce isolation, and strengthen family connections by providing free services, including support, referrals, activities, and life skills workshops to families. We’ve been part of the Elizabeth community since 2012, providing support, information, referrals, and activities for caregivers and children. We provide programming in both English and Spanish!

We’ve got something for every family. Check it out!

Active Parenting

A comprehensive parenting program helping caregivers raise responsible, cooperative children who are able to resist negative peer pressure and thrive. The class explores important concepts such as how brain development affects children’s behavior and decision-making, improved discipline and communication, and how to prevent future use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs.
