Investing in the well-being of children and families for the past 20 years.
First 5 Santa Cruz County is working to improve coordination across systems of care to increase access for young children and their families to the resources and services they need to be happy, healthy, well-prepared and ultimately thrive in life.
We believe in a family-centered approach that focuses on prevention and early interventions.
