Best Starts for Kids (Best Starts) is King County’s community-driven initiative to support every baby born and child raised in King County to be happy, healthy, safe, and thriving. Initially approved by voters in 2015 and in place since 2016, Best Starts invests in comprehensive support for children, youth, young adults, and families and caregivers, catalyzing strong starts in early childhood and sustaining those gains as children progress to adulthood.
By promoting positive outcomes for children, intervening early when kids and families need support, and building on family and community strengths, Best Starts launches King County’s young people on a path to lifelong health and well-being. Since 2016, the initiative has pursued three overarching results:
Best Starts for Kids’ Results 1. Babies are born healthy and given a foundation for a happy, healthy life 2. Young people have equitable opportunities to be safe, healthy, and thriving 3. Communities offer safe, welcoming environments for their kids
