All children deserve the best start in life. In the first 5 years of a child's life, critical connections are made in the brain that shape their lifelong learning. How we nurture and support our children today will impact their success in school and in life.
First 5 Monterey County supports community partnerships and programs that enhance the lives of children, from the prenatal stages through age 5, and their families.
Research shows community investments in programs reaching young children yield great financial and social benefits. With the current economic crisis, funding prevention and early intervention programs is a critical step to ensure the long-term success of our community. Recognizing this, First 5 Monterey County invests in improving the lives of Monterey County's youngest children and their families. It is the only local funding source dedicated to children ages 0-5.
