Our partnership with First 5 Alameda has been nothing short of profound and inspiring. ❤️ First 5 Alameda County

So, it was an absolute honor to celebrate alongside the entire Alameda County ECE community last night at Fairyland! ✨

What a joyous celebration of Year 1 - of many - of the Measure C impact work and the collective power of investing in our youngest children, families, educators, and communities.

We connected with so many good folks in community, shared in the joy, and celebrated the work that reminds us what’s possible when we come together with purpose.

A true VIBE all around. 🙌🏾✨

Thank you to the incredible First 5 Alameda team and Fairyland for creating such a beautiful space for celebration, connection, and community. Children's Fairyland

Here’s to Year 1 - and all that’s ahead! 💫 Lincoln Families
