Building a better future for California's youngest children.
🔗 linktr.ee/F5Merced Californians believe that our state’s children are a top priority.

That’s why in 1998 voters passed Proposition 10, adding a 50-cent tax to each pack of ci******es sold to create First 5 California, also known as the California Children and Families Commission. First 5 California is dedicated to improving the lives of California’s young children and their families through a comprehensive system of education, health services, childcare, and other crucial programs.

Your words matter 💭💚

The way we speak to ourselves can shape our mindset, confidence, and growth. This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s practice replacing self-doubt with self-compassion and growth.

Gentle reminder: it’s okay to water your own plant first 🌱
