First 5 San Diego
THE FIRST FIVE YEARS ARE CRUCIAL
Research has shown us that 90 percent of a child’s brain develops by age five. It is critical to talk, read and sing to your baby every day. What we do every day as parents from the moment a child is born can make a lasting impression. It’s these rich first experiences and interactions with loving adults that fuel their growth and development.
Children reach their fullest potential when raised in safe, stable, loving and stimulating environments. First 5 San Diego supports families by providing parents and caregivers with resources to promote children’s optimal development and school readiness.
