Vision

Mission

Success By 6^® identifies desired high-level community outcomes and measurements, develops an action plan and creates and sustains the community determination and capability to make all children ages 0-6 safe, healthy and successful. Parents and community partners have significant roles in creating nurturing and culturally sensitive environments for all children. Our initial focus is on the children in Hamilton County.

Ultimate Outcomes

• All children grow up optimally safe and healthy. This is measured by the percentage of children who have no untreated health conditions, based on assessment at the beginning of kindergarten.

• All children are socially, emotionally and cognitively prepared to succeed in kindergarten. This is measured by the percentage of children who meet social, emotional and cognitive criteria for kindergarten readiness, based on assessment at the beginning of kindergarten.

Values

• Parents and caregivers are the most critical individuals in the success of our children.
• All professionals and caregivers are sensitive and responsive to cultural differences among families and children.
• Children with special needs are afforded the most appropriate and inclusive environment.
• All providers recognize and are responsive to the needs of the whole child.

Principles

• Our children can be successful. Success By 6^® promotes the importance of high expectations for all children.

We are firmly committed to doing what it takes to ensure that our youngest children enter school prepared to succeed. Success By 6^® is rooted in our understanding that the earliest years are critical to successful long-term human development and our belief that successfully addressing early childhood development is the single greatest economic development opportunity available to us today.
