First 5 California’s New Parent Kit
First 5 San Francisco has recently learned that the inventory of First 5 California’s Kit for New Parents has been temporarily affected due to high demand for English- and Spanish-language versions, which has exceeded yearly projections. This shortage will cause a delay in local partners receiving new orders of the Kit.
Asian-language Kits, however, are readily available and will continue to be distributed upon request.
Any updates we receive will be posted on here.
Parents can order individual Kits by calling the following number(s):
- For Chinese Kits, (800) 597-9366
- For Korean Kits, (800) 597-9551
- For Vietnamese Kits, (800) 597-9855
Organizations or agencies that would like to order in bulk, please call (415) 934-4849.
