Evidence documents that high-quality early education has a lasting
positive effect and is more cost effective than efforts to intervene later
in life. Money spent to provide children with quality early
learning experiences is vital to community health, not to mention
children’s futures. In looking at the local picture, United Way has
learned that quality early education is often out of the reach for those
who could benefit the most.Success By 6 offers two-year early education grants to hardworking families who do not qualify for state subsidies, providing them access to high-quality early-learning care for their children. Participating families sign an agreement stating that they will meet certain involvement expectations with their child’s preschool.
