20 Years of Supporting Kids, Families & Our Community—thank you for helping make these 20 years so meaningful.

San Diego Kids First began with a vision of helping just one child at a time—and now, 20 years later, that vision continues to grow stronger every day.

FROM OUR VERY FIRST FLYER (CREATED BY DR. PONTILLO HERSELF!) TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

 

Dear SDKF Community,

We are thrilled to celebrate a very special milestone—San Diego Kids First turns 20!

Founded in 2005 by Dr. Deborah Pontillo, San Diego Kids First began as a heartfelt mission to support children and families through compassionate, expert care. What started with one provider and one big vision has blossomed into a thriving, multidisciplinary practice with a team of dedicated professionals across our community.

Over the past two decades, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside thousands of families—offering psychological and developmental services, building lasting connections, and creating a safe and supportive space for every child to thrive.

We look forward to the next 20 years of growing together, supporting each other, and putting San Diego’s kids first.

Thank you for being with us, believing in us, and growing with us.

 

Here’s to many more years together,

The San Diego Kids First Team
