On Wednesday April 18, 2018, First 5 Tulare County honored local heroes that make a difference in the lives of children ages 0-5.
The Hands-on Heroes event is a time to honor individuals in Tulare County who are instrumental in improving the lives of children during these early years of development; and to ensure that every child experiences the type of early environment – at home, at child care, at school, and in the community – that will promote their overall wellbeing.
