What We Do
Through partnerships and strategic resource allocation, First 5 Orange County works to ensure all children reach their full potential.


Our Priorities
Whether it’s well-child visits and screenings, finding quality child care or advocating to government leaders, we look for solutions to pressing issues facing young children and families.
Our Impact
“First 5 OC gives us information, it gives us support. It helps us make sure we’re on the right track. It certainly is a group that we turn to when we need help.”
