Ensuring children are healthy and ready to succeed.
WHAT IS SUCCESS BY 6®?
United Way of Greater Cincinnati leads a collaborative effort to help ensure all children ages 0-6 are healthy and ready to succeed by the time they start kindergarten. Created in 2003, UWGC’s Success By 6® has served as a backbone convener and champion for our community’s youngest generation.
United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s Success By 6® champions a movement that has energized supporters and investors who value quality child care and early education.
United Way’s persistence and investments in services, collaborations and advocacy catalyzed well-known services throughout our community and laid the groundwork for critical systemic change–like the passing and renewal of Cincinnati Preschool Promise.
United Way of Greater Cincinnati has partnered with the Imagination Library in Clermont County to make kindergarten readiness a priority.
OUR STRATEGIES
United Way uses a variety of strategies:
Public campaigns to raise awareness about the important role parents and caregivers play as a child’s first teacher.
Invest in community solutions that support children and their caregivers to bolster early childhood development and learning.
Advocate for policies that support children and early childhood education. Examples include increasing public funding for early education and reducing barriers around systemic challenges facing families, such as the benefits cliff for families relying on public child care assistance.
