First 5 California:
First 5 California has teamed up with WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie to launch the updated Kit for New Parents, a free comprehensive parenting resource that includes everything, from practical advice on prenatal care, to information on a child's first years.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist is expecting her first child in July and is helping educate the public about this invaluable parenting resource through media appearances across the state.
First 5 California has partnered with First 5 County Commissions, hospitals, clinics, county agencies, home visitation programs and parenting education classes to distribute the Kit to new parents across the state.
The new Kit includes an educational DVD with parenting advice from prominent child development experts and celebrities, such as talk show host Cristina Saralegui, Rob Reiner, Phylicia Rashad, Gloria Estefan, Andy Garcia and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Other resources include brochures on topics ranging from oral health to obesity prevention, a poison control magnet, information on Paid Family Leave, and more.
For more information on the Kit, visit www.ccfc.ca.gov/kits/index.htm.
First 5 California launched its groundbreaking parent education campaign in 2001 to provide important information on a child's health and development to parents and caregivers.
