"Thanks to a grant from First 5 San Bernardino, children in San Bernardino will have an opportunity for lifelong success through Save the Children's 'Early Steps to School Success' (ESSS) program. ESSS is an early childhood development home visiting program that helps children from low-income families develop early learning skills, essential for brain development and success later in life.

The funding will allow Save the Children's U.S. Programs to provide programs for 450 children and their families in 23 of the most remote, rural communities in San Bernardino County, including the Fort Irwin military base."
