PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Vallejo First 5 Center, located at 3375 Sonoma Blvd, will be an innovative hub to engage families and allow children to play, learn and grow. Parents and caregivers will find a safe and welcoming environment where they can receive information and holistic support to meet family needs and be connected to appropriate resources in the community.

Center staff and community partners will:
 
• Support parents: First 5 Center workshops and classes will make parenting easier, help parents raise healthy, happy children, and will be a great way to make new friends. We will offer support groups and parent leadership opportunities to strengthen the community.

• Have fun classes for families: Choose from over 20 classes each month, like art, science, cooking, dance, music, movement, baby sign language, preparing for kindergarten, and story time. There’s also drop-in playtime, Saturday classes, monthly events, and classes focused on dads.

• Be child development experts: First 5 Center staff will be trained to check children’s growth and development. When children or parents need help, they will know what to do.

• Connect families to needed resources: Our Center staff will connect families to helpful community resources. We will have co-location of common services to address basic needs supports, housing, employment services, food, health and dental services, child support services and others.
