Are you the parent or caregiver of a child under 3 years old? Before 3 to Succeed offers a wealth of information and parenting tips on social media and Oakland Family Services’ website that can help you make sure your child grows bigger and stronger every week.

Before 3 to Succeed provides parents – a child’s first and most important teacher - information aimed at improving the lives and healthy development of children from birth to 3 years old. Research shows that children who have nurturing and supportive experiences during their early years are better prepared for school and life.

You’ll also find a series of videos, which can be viewed on the Before 3 to Succeed YouTube channel as well.
