Welcome Parents, Future Parents and Caregivers

The first five years of life are critical to a child’s development. These years shape a child’s success in school and in life. First 5 San Diego helps parents and others guide children during these critical years. 

First 5 San Diego wants to help you access the First 5 San Diego health, learning, family and community services available in your area for a good start in life for children ages 0 through 5.

In addition to looking into resources from our partners for kids and parents, you are invited to sign up for our quarterly Good Start newsletter or find out what is happening for children in our Community Calendar.
