Our goal is simple: to ensure that every child, everywhere, has the opportunity to thrive.
Visit First Five for AllFor families with young children, accessing public services like health care, early education, and social supports can be life-changing.
Yet, navigating the public systems that provide these services is often difficult. Complex eligibility requirements, disconnected programs, and burdensome application processes create barriers that leave many families without the support they want and need. That's why we created First Five SC as a national model for other states to help families navigate early childhood systems.
Whether you know a family in South Carolina who needs support, or you want to help another state build something similar, we have resources to help.
