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 programs help 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 find out what is happening for children in our Community Calendar.  For more information or to receive a Kit for New Parents, call 1-888-5 FIRST 5 (1-888-534-7785).
