First 5 Kern carefully and collaboratively exercises oversight of our funded programs. Through financial reporting, site visits, audits, and evaluation assessments. Additionally, the First 5 Kern Commission reports to the state and community through various means.
Our goal through these reports is to share with the community the impact of our investments and the benefit that these programs provide to parents and young children.
Our annual Report to the Community provides insight into our funded programs, stories, and details from their work during the fiscal year.
Each year, an independent evaluator reviews the data from programs receiving First 5 Kern funding and uses “results-based accountability” to measure their impact.
This report, issued every fiscal year and submitted to First 5 California, outlines our revenue and expenditure summary.
