First 5 LA, a leading early childhood advocate, aims to strengthen families, communities, and systems of services to ensure all children in Los Angeles County enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and life. Family engagement is a key component in our work. Families and caregivers are agents of change in developing responsive programs, policies, and systems. In our family strengthening and support work, we are identifying best practices to enhance engagement between providers and families to collectively inform and improve services. Intentional strategies include incorporating family voice, practicing family-centered approaches, and enhancing family engagement efforts in diverse settings.
