Early Childhood
The first years of a kid’s life build the foundation for everything that follows – their health, mind, and emotional well-being. We work to ensure all families with young kids get the essential care and assistance they need from the moment their child is born throughout their early learning years. We strive for California to implement a child care system that’s available and affordable for all families, expand home visiting programs and empower caregivers, and improve medical and mental health care access so every child is provided a pathway of support that leads to their own prosperous future.
