It makes a difference.
First 5 San Francisco supports the professionals who make the biggest difference in children’s and families’ lives.
Early educators like Ling Huang can change the trajectory for the children in their care.
By investing in the people who care for children and families and the systems that support them, our impact is increased exponentially.
“I believe that every parent has the strength they need… it’s my role to help them become empowered on their own by seeing their own strength.”
