Vision

Vision for Pasadena: A City that nurtures every child and creates an environment where young children are healthy, safe and find early success in school and life.

The strong foundations for fulfillment and success are built during the first five years of life. Children’s success rests on their experiences and on the quality of their relationships.

Early Development Instrument

The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a population-based measure of children’s early development in communities across the nation.

Parent
Resources

Every parent needs support. Parents can look to many places for resources on child development.
