The Program Assistant plays an essential role in creating a welcoming, organized, and family-friendly environment where children and caregivers feel valued, supported, and connected. Serving as one of the first points of contact for families, the Program Assistant helps ensure that interactions reflect the Fairfield First 5 Center's commitment to warmth, inclusion, and meaningful, relationship-centered engagement. This position balances family support with administrative coordination and operational functions.
Working closely with the Program Administrator and Center team, the Program Assistant helps ensure programs run smoothly by welcoming families, coordinating participant registration, supporting classes and events, maintaining data systems, and helping prepare the Center for daily programming. The Program Assistant also contributes directly to children's and families' experiences by supporting play-based activities, providing childwatch during parent education classes, facilitating designated programming after training, and helping connect families with Center services and community resources.
Through relationship-building, and collaborative teamwork, the Program Assistant helps strengthen family engagement and foster a welcoming community where families can thrive. Program Description The Fairfield First 5 Center (F5C), opening in Summer 2026, will be a vibrant and welcoming hub for families with young children ages 0–5. Funded by First 5 Solano and operated by Bay Area Community Resources (BACR), the Center provides no-cost parent-child interactive classes, developmental screenings, parent education, leadership opportunities, and connections to community resources. We believe parents and caregivers are their child's first and most important teacher.
Through engaging early learning experiences, family-centered support, and opportunities for connection, the Center helps families strengthen parent-child relationships, build understanding of child development, support school readiness, and foster healthy growth and well-being. The Fairfield First 5 Center will serve a rich mosaic of families, cultures, languages, and lived experiences. We value candidates who bring experience working alongside communities of diverse backgrounds and who demonstrate a commitment to culturally responsive, community-centered, strengths-based, and equity-focused practices.
