FIRST 5 Santa Clara County ensures that the needs of young children, prenatal through age 5, are a priority in all sectors of the community. We support the healthy development of young children and enrich the lives of their families and communities in Santa Clara County.
Who We Are
FIRST 5 Santa Clara County was established through a statewide voter-approved initiative in 1998 known as the California Children and Families Act (Proposition 10).
Each county oversees the distribution of tobacco tax revenues to support, promote, and optimize early childhood development through coordinated programs that emphasize family support, children’s growth and learning, and improving systems of care for children prenatal through five years.
