| | Why we do what we do:
The children of Tulare County will thrive in supportive environments and enter school healthy and ready to learn, so that they may become productive members of our community. | |
|
|
| | What we are here for:
First 5 Tulare County will enhance the early development of Tulare County’s children by providing direct services, funding partner organizations, and participating in an integrated system of care serving children prenatal through age five and their families. | |
|
|
| | Our Strategic Plan, developed by the community, for the community, serves as a roadmap for achieving successful outcomes for children and families in Tulare County. It assures us that our efforts will help us accomplish our mission and the primary results we value.
Through an annual evaluation of our efforts, First 5 Tulare determines how well a Proposition 10 funded program is performing and if the services are improving the lives of children and their families. All funded programs participate in the evaluation of both process and outcome measures. Those results are reported to First 5 California and our community annually and to the Commission more frequently. | |
|
|
| | | Programs, activities, and services provided or funded by First 5 Tulare County will move our community toward the following results: | | | | | I. | Children will be mentally and physically healthy | | II. | Children will be ready for school | | III. | Families will have the knowledge and ability to promote their childrens development | | IV. | Services will be culturally appropriate, integrated, and collaborative |
