For more than two decades, First 5 Contra Costa has worked to support every child in reaching their full potential by focusing on their most critical years of development—prenatal to age 5. We focus on prevention, center our work around equity, and play many roles to reach our vision: funder, convener, and advocate. Working in partnership with others, First 5 Contra Costa aims to change systems of services and supports to better meet the needs of young children and their families through our core strategies.

Our vision is that Contra Costa’s young children will be healthy, ready to learn, and supported in safe, nurturing families and communities.
