The Children First Collective is comprised of non-profits, public entities, childcare providers, and parents united in finding solutions to make raising a child in San Diego possible for everyone.
Driven by equity, our focus is to make a difference in our community. We believe we should all be responsible for one another, as well as for the common good of the community. Especially for our young children, we need to provide opportunities for all.
What we believe in is simple: everyone deserves to live and thrive in a world that is just, equitable, and provides resources to all families. The future depends on access to education and training opportunities for all children, youth, and adults in our community.
Children First Collective holds a weekly working group as well as regular town halls and policy circles. Become a part of the collective by signing up to receive information and join advocacy actions.
Town Halls - A quarterly virtual meeting for advocacy brainstorming, sharing, and mobilization.
Policy Circle - A monthly virtual meeting for federal, state, and local policy updates related to child care.
