In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, First 5 LA is compiling alerts and resources to help partners, parents and L.A. County residents impacted by the crisis. Click below to be directed to our alerts and resources page.
First 5 LA’s priorities are driven by our vision for all children of L.A. County families to enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and life. When families are strong and communities are supportive, children have a far better chance of achieving their optimal development and acquiring the skills necessary for success.
The First 5 LA building is currently undergoing a capital improvement project. Learn more about First 5 LA’s CEQA exemption below.
