Success By 6® is improving the lives of children by mobilizing the caring power of our communities.
Success By 6® is a prevention initiative intended to ensure that ALL preschool children in Edmonton have the necessary development and support for a lifetime of growth and achievement.
Giving each child the best start...
Overwhelming evidence indicates that the care a child receives from prenatal through the first six years of life is critical to the child’s growth and development throughout his/her lifetime.
Success By 6® works on many fronts by:
- identifying gaps;
- engaging new support;
- communicating the latest research;
- incubating new services;
- influencing policy
Interdisciplinary partnering provides a forum for community members to benefit from each other’s expertise. The result is a better understanding for addressing such complex issues as:
- healthy growth and development;
- literacy;
- parenting;
- nutrition.
…a great investment…
Longitudinal research shows that every $1 invested today in quality prevention and early intervention strategies saves society approximately $6 in corrective measures later. Success By 6® works to mobilize the Edmonton community now to reduce the future burden of more costly and less effective measures.
…building bridges…
Building on the strength of a long-standing established network in the Edmonton community, Success By 6® develops effective and sustainable community-based strategies. This approach is working to maximize the services and resources available to Edmonton’s preschool population. Success By 6® is doing in partnership, what could not be done alone.
…facilitating new relationships.
Through research, best practices, and proven prevention and early intervention strategies partners address complex issues from many perspectives. Success By 6® works collaboratively on joint planning opportunities with a variety of organizations, corporations, government agencies and concerned citizens from the social, political, business, cultural and private sectors. Together we develop comprehensive, community-wide solutions that help us to champion the early years of children.
