Our Impact

First 5 Contra Costa uses research and data to deepen understanding of the challenges facing young children and families and to identify effective solutions. We recognize that data comes in many forms—from population and administrative data to the experiences and stories shared by families, providers, and community members. By combining these perspectives, we support learning, informed decision-making, and solution-focused action. Below are some key reports and data that inform our work:
