“Our job at First 5 is to help stitch this system together and to do everything possible to ensure that it is equitably available to all children in our county, no matter their zip code, no matter their race or ethnicity. The work we do is grounded in what we know every young child needs, and every parent wants for their child: access to health care, positive and meaningful relationships, and high-quality early learning experiences, all in the context of a system that equitably cares for and supports all children and families in our community.”
