Study of Sacramento Region First 5 Commissions Finds Improvements in Child Outcomes
Sacramento, CA: A school playground and active preschoolers at American Lakes Elementary in Sacramento
formed the backdrop for leaders of eight Sacramento Region counties who gathered this morning to release a report
outlining the impact First 5 Commissions have had in improving the lives and futures of children ages zero to five
years of age in eight counties.
The First 5 Sacramento Region 2010 Impact Report states more children are being born healthy; fewer children are
growing up in poverty; more mothers receive early prenatal care; and more children are prepared for success when
they enter kindergarten.
The study, prepared by Social Entrepreneurs, Inc. on behalf of the First 5/Children and Families Commissions of
Colusa, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter and Yolo counties showed marked improvement
in the health and well-being of children ages zero to five years as a result of programs funded by these organizations.
