Guide for families<br />
with young children<br />
First Things First in Pinal County has<br />
designed a resource guide -- a <strong>com</strong>prehensive<br />
list of service providers and referral agencies<br />
— for use by parents, families and <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
agencies.<br />
Initial distribution has begun to social<br />
service agencies, libraries, pediatricians,<br />
hospitals, WIC offices, DES offices and child<br />
care centers throughout the county.<br />
“A child’s most important developmental<br />
years are those leading up to kindergarten,”<br />
said Program Coordination Specialist Katrina<br />
DeVinny, who created the guide. “First<br />
Things First partners with Arizona parents<br />
and <strong>com</strong>munities to help kids 5 and younger<br />
receive the early education, quality healthcare<br />
and family support they need to start school<br />
healthy and ready to succeed. This guide gives<br />
parents information so that they can make<br />
the best choices for their kids.”<br />
