Investments That Last A Lifetime
First 5 Monterey County funds local
programs benefiting young children and
their families.
First 5 Monterey County F5MC) was established in
1998 when California voters passed Proposition 10,
The California Children and Families Act, that
levied a 50-cent per pack tax on tobacco products.
The money from this tax is used to fund local
programs and services that promote early childhood
development for children ages 0-5.
Since our inception, F5MC has invested more than
$64 million in providing services to children 0-5 and
their families. During fiscal year 2009-2010, we
provided approximately $7.5 million to programs,
services, and community events that addressed
parent development, early care and education,
and child health.
OUR VISION
All children reach their full potential in a
family and community that values and respects
childhood.
OUR MISSION
latldlw.~
MONTEREY COUNTY
To serve as a catalyst to create sustainable I!,
change in systems, policies, and practices thof
enrich the development of children in their F RST
5 years of life.
Ew,
Why Ages Zero to Five?
Research shows that a child's brain develops
most significantly during the first five years. A
child's early experiences and relationships with
parents and caregivers profoundly influence brain
development and success in school and life.
Research shows community investments in
programs reaching families with young children
yield great financial and social benefits. With the
current economic crisis, funding prevention and
early intervention programs is a critical step to
ensure the long-term success of our community.
Recognizing this, F5MC invests in improving the
lives of Monterey County's youngest children and
their families. It is the only local funding source
dedicated to children ages 0-5.
SHAPING l y. U
The Community's Plan
In 2005, we created a strategic plan* with an
emphasis on Early Learning Opportunities. More
than 1,000 community voices participated in
identifying the guiding visions for our work from
2007 to 2015:
Community Vision 1: Parents feel competent,
well-informed, and capable of supporting
their child.
Community Vision II: Families have quality,
affordable early care and education of choice.
Community Vision III: Children are mentally and
physically healthy.

programs are developing the social and
emotional skills necessary for kindergarten
readiness.
Parents participating in F5MC-funded
programs are reading more frequently
to their children and engaging in home
educational activities more often than when
they began the programs.
F5MC programs support families of young
children by increasing access to services
and strengthening the service system.
F5MC programs are serving our target
population including those that have low
levels of education and are living in poverty.
F5MC funds support over 100 full-time jobs

�Connecting the Dots: Findings from the
2009-10 First S Monterey County Evaluation
First 5 Monterey County F5MC) funds local programs benefiting children from the prenatal stage to
age 5 and their families. In fiscal year 2009-2010, F5MC supported 30,402 young children, parents
and child care providers. Listed below are key findings culled from F5MC sponsored evaluation
activities during fiscal year 2009-2010. For access to the full compliment of evaluation reports please
visit: first5monterey.org
The social and economic disparity gaps in child and family outcomes
appear to be closing after one year of participation in a F5MC-funded
program"
Parent's level of education is a leading predictor of school readiness in Monterey County. Namely,
children whose parents had more than a high school education were more likely to master social and
emotional skills, communication skills, cognition and general knowledge skills, and develop positive
approaches to learning.
Interestingly, data collected from the Parent Interview demonstrated that after one year of enrolling
into a F5MC-funded program, family socio-economic characteristics, including level of education,
became less of a factor when describing the extent to which parents engaged in activities known to
promote child development. For example, after one year parent level of education and family income
were not significantly associated in the area of frequency of reading to the child and educational
activities in which families engage in with their children at home. More specifically, there was a
significant increase among parents with less than a high school education 33 percent to 43 percent) as
well as parents with a high school education 32 percent to 48 percent) who reported reading daily to
their child. These findings are key given that daily reading to children is significantly associated with
kindergarten readiness.
Children who participate in F5MC- funded programs are developing the
social and emotional skills necessary for kindergarten readiness*w
Social and emotional well-being is another factor found to be a predictor of kindergarten readiness in
Monterey County. The 2009 Monterey County Kindergarten Readiness Assessment, sponsored by
F5MC, found that children who mastered social and emotional skills prior to entering kindergarten
were far more likely to demonstrate comprehensive readiness across other developmental domains,
including cognition and general knowledge, approaches to learning and communication skills.
Additionally, kindergarten teachers and early educators in Monterey County agreed that social and
emotional well-being is the most important developmental domain for children to master before
starting and completing kindergarten.
In the 2009-2010 Participatory Evaluation, parents who participated in F5MC parenting programs
observed changes in their child's social and emotional development they are learning how to
positively interact with their parents, peers, and other adults e.g., teachers and parent educators), are

�more willing to ask for help, and are increasingly more successful at controlling their emotions. For
children who do not or cannot attend preschool which has also been found to be factor associated
with kindergarten readiness), playgroups may be an alternative to help develop their social and
emotional skills.
FSMC parents are participating in reading and home educational activities
more often" O
Although the 2009 Monterey County Kindergarten Readiness Assessment found that only 51 percent
of parents reported reading books with their child daily, the report also demonstrated that reading
daily has a profoundly positive influence on school readiness. Not surprisingly then, reading with
your child and spending time with your child are the top activities educators recommend for parents
seeking to prepare their children for kindergarten.
Data collected from the Parent Interview and the Participatory Evaluation demonstrate that parents
receiving F5MC-funded services are reading more frequently to their child and engaging in home
education activities more often. After one year of enrolling into a F5MC-funded program, over half
52 percent) of parents reported reading to their children every day, a 16 percent increase from the
baseline year. Additionally, parents are engaged in five activities such as helping their child learn
letters, words or numbers) three or more times per week compared to four activities three or more
times per week at baseline.
F5MC programs support families of young children by increasing access to
services, organizational capacity and sustainability, and by working
together more collaboratively
In order to strengthen the system of services for children and families, five essential characteristics
were identified by the community:
culturally and linguistically appropriate services,
community-based services,
flexible hours,
family-centered services, and
coordinated services.
These enhancements to the service system are vital as they can directly increase parent participation
and indirectly impact a child's readiness for kindergarten. Systems level survey findings suggest that
F5MC-funded partners are taking steps to provide services that meet the five essential characteristics.
Nearly all agencies reported offering enrollment, activities, referrals, and follow-up in English and
Spanish, more than 90 percent indicated that their program was accessible by bus, and 81 percent
reported their services were available during weekday evenings. Additionally, funded programs
continue to work together more closely to strengthen the system of services for families. Specifically,
they are taking steps to develop stronger partnerships with programs, refer families to appropriate
services, and co-locate services.
Parents who participated in the Parent Interview reported being highly satisfied with the services they
received and reported increased satisfaction with services in all essential characteristic areas when
compared to baseline. Parents reported the greatest percent increase with I feel like services between

the programs are respectful of my culture 6.2 percent increase).
F5MC programs are serving the target population'
At-risk families of young children, including those that are low-income, have low levels of education,
and are living in poverty, are targeted for services by F5MC and its funded programs. These families
face challenges that may impact their child's ability to be prepared physically, emotionally, socially,
and intellectually when they enter kindergarten. Therefore, it is important that services are accessible
to the children and families that most benefit from them.
Data from the F5MC client management system, which is described in the client level data report,
provide a representation of the characteristics of families receiving services. Findings demonstrate
that F5MC programs are serving the intended population: the proportion of Hispanic/Latino children
served 87 percent) closely mirrors the proportion of Hispanic/Latino Medi-Cal funded births 91
percent); nearly 70 percent of parents served have not completed high school; 66 percent of children
qualify for and were enrolled in Medi-Cal and five percent did not have health insurance coverage.

DISCUSSION:
First 5 Monterey County was established by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 1998
following the passage of Proposition 10, which added a 50-cent-per-pack tax to all tobacco
products. The statewide-collected monies are earmarked for programs and services benefiting
children from the prenatal stage through age 5 and their families. This is the only source of
locally controlled funding for early childhood programs.
The Annual Report serves to demonstrate the impact on over 30,000 children, parents/caregivers,
and child care providers served by First 5 Monterey County's twenty-three funded agencies and
numerous sponsored community events. During FY 2009/10, First 5 Monterey County invested
more than $7.5 million to support community partnerships and agencies helping to enhance the
lives of young children and their families throughout Monterey County. Below are key findings
from the First 5 Monterey County evaluation activities during FY 2009/10.
Some social and economic disparity gaps in child and family outcomes are closing after one
year of participation in F5MC-funded programs.
Children who participate in F5MC-funded programs are developing the social and
emotional skills necessary for kindergarten readiness.
Parents participating in F5MC-funded programs are reading more frequently to their
children and engaging in home educational activities more often than when they began the
programs.
F5MC programs support families of young children by increasing access to services and
strengthening the service system.
F5MC programs are serving the target population those that have low levels of education
and are living in poverty.
F5MC funds support over 100 full-time employees and either partially or fully support
almost 200 jobs in Monterey County.
