More than a decade later, Peninsula Family Service and First 5 San Mateo continue to work together, providing quality Early Learning education for 450 children every day and ensuring that their development is not halted by life’s circumstances. As Kitty stated, “Together we are working towards providing support and education for our county’s most vulnerable and at-risk children. Peninsula Family Service has been a great community partner and co-advocate for children and families in San Mateo County.”
Early development and intervention are crucial for the future of a child. “Studies show that 90% of the brain is developed during the first five years of life. As a society, we have an obligation to do all we can during those first five years to make sure all children get the very best start”, says Kitty. First 5’s long term goal is clear: “Our main goal is for San Mateo County to give priority to young children and their families. We are confident that with Peninsula Family Service as our partner, we can make this goal a reality.”
