The Department of Early Childhood (DEC) is a City and County of San Francisco Department dedicated to our young children's healthy development.
As the City’s largest funder of early childhood, DEC is committed to creating a system that ensures every child can thrive and learn.
We provide public investment, expertise, and leadership to put resources into the hands of those who care for our City’s youngest children.
DEC results from merging two existing city departments, First 5 and the Office of Early Care and Education.
Both First 5 and OECE have long histories of supporting young children and families in San Francisco through early care and education innovations, family support services, and programs to support children’s healthy development.
They merged to expand their capacity and funding and to integrate the City’s early childhood services better.
The Department of Early Childhood condemns all forms of racism, sexism, homo/biphobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, and other forms of discrimination.
It affirms that all people including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color – have a right to be in our City and have a right to safe and affordable housing, neighborhoods free from pollution and violence, opportunities for educational advancement and wealth creation, healthy births, early childhoods with abundant opportunities to thrive free from the toxic effects of racism, and access to essential services such as parks, transportation, health care, and child care.
