✨ Meet the People Behind First 5 Napa ✨
Say hello to Monica Koenig, First 5 Napa County Commission member! 👋
Monica was inspired by the work First 5 was doing both statewide and right here in our community. Through her work with the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program, she has been a longtime partner of First 5, sharing our commitment to helping pregnant moms and children stay healthy, supported, and thriving.
For Monica, a big part of that work is focusing on the first 1,000 days of a child’s life—a critical time for healthy development and building a strong foundation for the years ahead. 💚
📚 Favorite childhood book: Heidi by Johanna Spyri
✨ Why First 5 matters:
“The first five years of a child’s life are a significant time of development, and First 5 helps address the issues that matter most during this important time.”
We’re so grateful to have Monica’s passion, experience, and perspective helping shape the work we do for Napa County’s youngest children and families!
