Each of the local First 5 commissions is required to adopt a strategic plan that establishes a framework for how the commission will support and improve early childhood development in the county. The desired results and strategies identified in San Diego’s plan are developed through processes that include significant community input from key stakeholders, including community members and professionals. The strategic plan is reviewed each year and revised as needed to ensure that the plan addresses the most pressing needs of children, from the prenatal stage through  five, and their families.

The Commission produced its first strategic plan in 2000. The current plan for fiscal years 2004/5 to 2008/9 is the fourth revision and reflects the growth and progress achieved through four years of work, commitment, and shared experience aimed at improving the lives of children and families. Through implementation of the strategic plan, the Commission aims to create lasting, positive change in our community.
