The purpose of the Care Management program, in partnership with First 5 Santa Clara County's Early Learning Initiative, is to ensure that children and families living in the attendance areas of Santee, McKinley, and Franklin Elementary Schools will have access to the necessary health, developmental, and social tools to assist their success in life.

Within the Early Learning Initiative, FMEF Care Managers :

• coordinate prevention, intervention, and intensive intervention services to children, prenatal to five and their families.
• secure access to multiple programs, services, and activities identified by the families in the five essential elements of school readiness:
  1. Early Care and Education
  2. Parenting and Family Support
  3. Health and Social Services
  4. School Capacity
  5. Program infrastructure and administration
• identify and address gaps in needed services and the over and under utilization of existing services; and
• foster community collaboration to enable the coordination and integration of existing services and infrastructures.
