The Department of Early Childhood (DEC) is a City and County of San Francisco Department dedicated to our young children's healthy development.

As the City's largest funder of early childhood, DEC is committed to creating a system that ensures every child can thrive and learn.

We provide public investment, expertise, and leadership to put resources into the hands of those who care for our City's youngest children.

DEC is the result of a merger of two existing city departments, First 5 and the Office of Early Care and Education.

Both First 5 and OECE have long histories of supporting young children and families in San Francisco through innovations in early care and education, family support services, and programs to support children's healthy development.

They merged to expand their capacity and funding and to better integrate the City's early childhood services.
