First Things First is one of the critical partners in creating a family-centered, comprehensive, collaborative and high-quality early childhood system that supports the development, health and early education of all Arizona children from birth through age 5.

Building Bright Futures is First Things First’s biennial assessment on the needs of young children in Arizona. This report gives all Arizonans a starting place for conversations about the challenges faced by children birth to 5 years old and how their communities can best meet those needs.
