About First 5 San Joaquin

First 5 San Joaquin exists to serve and improve the community through our children. First 5 works in partnership with agencies and organizations under contract, and fosters the active participation of parents, care-givers, educators, and community members. Together, we develop programs benefiting our children, ages 0 to 5 years old.

Who we are

First 5 San Joaquin is the San Joaquin County Children and Families Commission, and members of the Commission staff. First 5 San Joaquin provides financial support for programs and services, monitors progress and evaluates results. Partner agencies manage the programs and provide the services to children and families. Ultimately, it is the agency contractors, our partners, and members of the community who will enable First 5 to realize our shared vision.
