Welcome to Early Childhood Matters, a monthly newsletter from First 5 LA. In every issue, we will focus on our work to improve outcomes for young children by strengthening families, the communities in which they live, and the systems that support them. Thankfully, we aren’t alone in this work. We hope learning about our collaborative efforts inspires you to learn more about the issues affecting our youngest residents and their families and how, together, we can ensure that all children in Los Angeles County enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and life.
Thank you for reading and let us know what you think.
