Success By 6

SUCCESS BY 6®

Success By 6® supports a “whole child” approach to education, focusing on both cognitive skills and the child’s social and emotional development.  We know that a child’s ability to interact with peers and listen to direction is just as crucial to his/her learning trajectory as his/her ability to read or write. 

Through Success By 6®, we’re working to improve the level of education provided at childcare centers throughout the region. We’re providing training to early childhood educators to ensure that they are engaging children in effective ways; that they’re educating parents on their crucial role in supporting and nurturing their child’s learning; and that they’re intervening to get additional support for the child who needs it.
