How We Impact the Community

There are approx. 6,000 kids ages 0 – 5 in Napa County, and we aim to serve them and the families and caregivers who support them. From American Canyon to Calistoga, Pope Valley to Carneros and everywhere in between, our geographic boundary is the County line, and all our services are for Napa County residents.

We tailor our programming to the unique needs of our area. We advocate for the needs of young children and their families, champion programs offering prenatal – age 5 support, and partner with other organizations to expand the reach of two great programs into our county. The Imagination Library provides a free book in the mail each month for kids 0 – 5 and Napa County Safe Seats Program provides free car seats for Napa County residents with young kids.

At a time of rising costs and in a county like ours with one of the highest income inequalities in California, our work focuses on equity and helping families and kids get off to a great start!

Testimonial

I liked that the lessons learned from the children’s books and activities are just as valuable to the adults as they are to the children; they brought challenging topics down to the basics.
