First 5 San Bernardino is celebrating 25 years of serving young children and families in San Bernardino County! For a quarter century we have provided resources and support to parents of children under 5 so every child can have a strong start and better life.
The organization launched in 1999 to champion the early development of children prenatal through 5 years old. We know that parenting is just as challenging as it is beautiful, and we are proud to have been supporting our county’s parents and caregivers for so long. Our success lies in partnering with San Bernardino County organizations who provide family support services and share in our mission.
“First 5 San Bernardino grew substantially over the years, and we now serve tens of thousands of children, parents and caregivers through our programs and partnerships,” said Executive Director Karen Scott. “We have worked hard to build meaningful partnerships with the organizations in our county who are meeting our families where they’re at. Last year alone, we attended 51 community events with resources and supplies.”
In celebration of this major milestone, First 5 San Bernardino introduces a new campaign featuring endearing monster and alien illustrations letting us all know that “even monsters/aliens care about the first 5 years.” The campaign showcases new partnerships, advertising, social media giveaways and more!
Our year-round campaigns help our county’s very young children throughout the big and small moments of their childhood, giving them a stronger start and a better life. First 5 San Bernardino thanks its partners, supporters, county leaders and the whole community for working with us for 25 years.
