Welcome to First Five Yuba

image: pictures of happy children The First Five Yuba Commission (formerly Yuba County Children and Families Commission) was formed in January 1999 to implement the 1998 Proposition 10 California Children and Families Act. Since its inception, the First Five Yuba has been committed to improving the status of Yuba County children aged zero to five years old, and their families.

Mission Statement

Early childhood development is critical to the overall growth, development, and well being of our children. Our Mission is to ensure that programs and services enhancing the early development of Yuba County children are universally available and accessible. Proper parenting, nurturing, and health care, from prenatal care until the beginning of kindergarten, will provide the means for Yuba County’s children to enter school in good health, ready and able to learn, and emotionally well developed.

First Five Yuba will facilitate the creation and implementation of an integrated, comprehensive, and collaborative system of services and information to enhance optimal early child development. The Commission emphasizes local decision-making sensitive to a diverse community.
