We are working to insure that all children are prepared to succeed when they enter school. This site will help you get useful information and connect with people and organizations in our community who are working together in early child care and development.

Success by 6 is a community-based, public private partnership of individuals and organizations, including United Way, that share a common vision - children ready to succeed when they enter school. The initiative is dedicated to providing all children with a great start in life by working across multi-sectors to ensure that children from birth to age 6 develop the emotional, social, cognitive and physical skills they need as they enter school.

Success by 6, through strategic partnerships, engages the whole community in early childhood development, and funds programs that provide strong services for young children and their families.

Our Success by 6 initiative includes the following United Way of Greater Duluth early childhood efforts:

• Imagination Library
• Big Red Bookshelf
• Born Learning Trail
• Ready-Set-Learn Backpacks
• Parent Resource Awareness

Success by 6 is a community commitment to ensure that all of our children enter school ready to succeed.
