Since 1998, First 5 LA has played several critical roles in improving outcomes for children prenatal to age 5. We have been Advocates. Conveners. Collaborators. Catalysts and Communicators of child and family needs and strategies that make a difference in their lives.
To promote greater impact, First 5 LA established a new strategic direction in 2015 as an agent of systems change. In partnership with public and community partners, we help systems — including health, early childhood education (ECE) and local supports — work better for families.
Changing systems is complex work. It requires ongoing collaboration between multiple partners across multiple sectors, working on a multitude of elements within the different systems. Reflecting our experiences over the past five years, First 5 LA is working today across multiple fronts — policy, program and public will — in order to create meaningful changes in local, state and national systems. These changes, in turn, will produce long-lasting improvements in the health, school-readiness and safety of L.A. County’s youngest children and their families.
