About Success by 6™

Success By 6 is a public and private partnership committed to ensuring that every child in our community is healthy, safe, nurtured, and ready to succeed in school by age six. The first six years of children's lives shape their futures, and the success of our community depends on the success of our children. United Way of Pinal County is the catalyst and convener of this community initiative.

This initiative is rooted in the understanding that the earliest years are critical to human development. Ensuring that quality early childhood services are available and continued requires a long-term commitment from families, service providers, policymakers, businesses, educators, and civic leaders.

The Success By 6 initiative provides a structure to encourage people and organizations to work together for the benefit of children. This initiative offers unique opportunities for collaborations and partnerships among the public and private sectors. These collaborations and partnerships represent our community's commitment to doing what it takes to help the youngest members of our community achieve success.

Mission Statement

Helping all children succeed for life.

Vision Statement

Success By 6 is a public/private Initiative created to address the issue of childcare in Pinal County. Our goal is to prepare all children to succeed before entering school. We believe nurturing children within a safe, healthy, and stimulating environment promotes socially, emotionally, and intellectually prepared students who are then prepared to succeed in school. In our effort to improve the quality of childcare available, we are addressing the needs of parents, childcare providers and employers through a variety of educational and informative activities.
