| | The Glenn County Children and Families Commission is committed to providing and/or enhancing quality services for all Glenn County children (prenatal to age five) and their families through a comprehensive, integrated and accessible system of early childhood development services. | |
|
| | Children in Glenn County will thrive in supportive, nurturing and loving families and communities and be positively prepared to enter school ton become productive well-adjusted members of society. | |
|
| | First 5 Glenn County makes vital decisions to improve the lives of children ages 0 to 5 and their families. First 5 Glenn County funds education, health, childcare and other programs that promote early childhood development. | |
|
| | In 1998, California voters passed Proposition 10, which added a fifty-cent per pack tax on cigarettes to support programs for expectant parents and children ages 0 to 5. This decision was based on research that shows that a child’s brain develops most dramatically in the first five years and what parents and caregivers do during these years to support a child’s growth will have a meaningful impact throughout life. First Five Glenn County distributes approximately $300,000 in Proposition 10 revenues to programs and services that meet local needs for expectant parents and children in their first five years of life. | |
