Pasadena Council for the Young Child

2019

The Office of the Young Child is supported by the Pasadena Council for the Young Child, a coalition of local community and civic leaders who are experts in infants and young children, early learning, health care, social services and related fields. These committed volunteers are organized into six working groups and have been meeting monthly since autumn 2015. This Council, designated as a major supporter for the Young Child initiative and movement in Pasadena, convenes once a month and has been meeting since October of 2015 with representatives from the public, and community and civic leaders, who have distinct and diverse expertise in early learning and are in many instances invested residents of Pasadena with children of their own in the school district. Council is designed to see that Pasadena is the City of the Young Child by 2025 by offering family centered services and supports for families with young children, birth through five to enable all Pasadena's children to be ready for school demands and success.
