What First 5 California requires of local FIRST 5's:
•

To align with other First 5 California initiatives, particularly
School Readiness (Early Learning) and Preschool for All
(PFA) Demonstration Sites.

•

To stabilize and strengthen current investments in School
Readiness sites in order to continue to receive the First 5
California match.

•

To align implementation in underserved and high-priority
communities, including school districts with current Academic
Performance Index (API) scores in deciles 1-5, and in
communities with a very low supply of preschools.

Where do children with greatest cumulative risk live?
A critical component of the research was the geo-mapping of
cumulative developmental risk factors for children 0-5 years. Data
was collected on more than 20 risk factors. Of those, the following 8
were consistently prevalent, most relevant to the prenatal through
age 5 population , and were amenable to intervention through the
FIRST 5 Investment Strategy.
- Mother with no high school degree
- Teenage mother
- Low birth weight
Late entry to prenatal care
- Substantiated child abuse report
- Domestic violence involving children
- Med i-Cal as a proxy for poverty
- Elevated blood lead levels

•

A major finding of the research concluded that the presence of one
risk factor alone does not create a barrier to a child's healthy
development. Rather, it is the cumulative effect of risk factors that
lead to a high probability of poor outcomes for a child. It is additive
impact of risks that lead to the negative development of the child.

•

A three-part model is necessary to ensure the greatest return on
investment and the deepest impact for a child who experiences high
cumulative risks. The model includes:
-

Highest quality early learning environments
Home visitation

- Comprehensive fami ly support
•

Accompanying the three-part model, there must be:
- Intensive parent involvement
-

Careful screening and assessment

- Adequate duration and intensity of services
-

Comprehensive systems approach in serving families

Where to focus our efforts:
The geo-mapping identified:
• Six zip codes with the highest concentration of children 0-5 live
(23% or 33,810 of the 147,000 children )
• Children with the greatest number of cumulative risk factors live
• Elementary school districts with the lowest Academic Performance Index (API)
• Areas with the lowest early education capacity in Santa Clara County
• The most cases of elevated blood lead levels in ~anta Clara County

Further analysis identified:
• Neighborhoods of historic and current need within 5 other zip codes having:
• 10% of total population of children 0-5 live
• Where children and families who are exposed to many of the same cumulative risk
factors live;
• Families who identified a need for advocacy, integration and coordination of
services

The selection of sites for Deep Impact Demonstration

Gilroy Unified School District
Mayfair Community (Alum Rock)

• Results of geomapping, research and analysis
• Readiness and ability of school districts to partner.
