First 5 Monterey County is a public-sector organization based in Salinas, in Monterey County, focused on early childhood development. Established in 1999, it serves as an independent agency responsible for coordinating a county-wide initiative that supports children from prenatal stages through age five and their families. The organization partners with school districts, county agencies, and nonprofits to identify and implement programs shown to promote healthy brain development and school readiness, guided by values of integrity, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation.

It works with families and the local institutions that serve them, using a strategic planning process to assess needs and strengths and to marshal available resources for programs benefiting young children and their families. In November 2021, the City of Salinas announced a collaboration with First 5 Monterey County to help address pandemic-related challenges by assisting families with essentials such as diapers, formula, and related supports.
