First 5 Napa County supports our community in developing and enhancing coordinated, integrated, and equitable systems, that care for, support, educate and respect families and children 0-5 years of age.

In November 1998, California voters passed a statewide ballot initiative to add a tax on tobacco products, with funds going to support a comprehensive, integrated system of early childhood development services. The following year, the Napa County Board of Supervisors established the Napa County Children and Families Commission (now First 5 Napa County) to distribute funding from California’s Proposition 10 and provide resources to support a comprehensive system of services that ensures children ages 0-5 in Napa County enter school health and ready to learn. Since its inception, First 5 Napa County has invested more than $22 million in the community.

All children in Napa County are healthy, safe, and thriving.
