Welcome to First 5 Yolo
First 5 Yolo’s mission is to assist our community to raise children who are healthy, safe, and ready to learn. We will ensure that our resources are effectively used and all community voices heard.
Family Support
Young children who benefit from strong parent-child relationships have greater self-confidence, do better in school, and have more positive relationships with peers.
Child Development
High-quality, early education is critical to young children’s development, as it prepares them for all future learning.
Improved Health
Health is the foundation of children’s growth and development. Early intervention, and linking families to needed services, can help ensure overall positive outcomes for children.
Systems Change
First 5 takes a comprehensive approach to improve, coordinate and better align the systems that provide child development services, family support, and child healthcare.
