First 5 Launches Spanish Language Kit for New Parents

The redesigned Spanish-language version of the Kit for New Parents is here!

With 50 percent of babies born to Latino parents in California each year, the free Kit will help Latino parents and caregivers best prepare for their newborns. The kit is filled with advice and useful tips, such as information on nutrition, safety, quality child care, health, discipline and early learning. It provides practical information in an easy-to-use manner and can help build parents' confidence as they undertake their new role. The Kit has been completely revised and updated to include a DVD, user-friendly improvements, the latest early childhood development information, and a fresh look.

The Kit also contains the easy-to-read books "Advice for New Parents," and "What To Do When Your Child Gets Sick," as well as "Puppy and Friends," an interactive book for parents and children to enjoy together.

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. Parents and caregivers can also receive a free Kit by calling 1-800-50-NIÑOS.
