First 5 California Executive Director Camille Maben's Statement on Governor's January Budget Proposal

Camille Maben, Executive Director of First 5 California issued this statement today on Governor Gavin Newsom's January budget proposal:

"Today's Budget Proposal sets a bold vision and significant down payment for California's youngest children and their families. Paid (News - Alert) family leave, health care, home visiting, pediatric screening, and high-quality early learning opportunities are key to Governor Newsom's comprehensive road map on how California can create a two-generational approach to raising strong and resilient children. We applaud Governor Newsom's leadership."
