United Way of Morris County's Success By 6® program
is making a difference for our youngest children!

|
At United Way of Morris County, the Success By 6 coalition has been working hard to create long-lasting changes for Morris County’s preschool students for almost a decade. The coalition brings together volunteers, early childhood educators, and United Way staff to identify, develop, and support programs that foster positive early childhood development and meet the needs of young children and their families.
As a result of the coalition’s commitment to early childhood education, 65 percent of United Way of Morris County’s partner child care centers are accredited by the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC) versus the 13 percent Morris County average.

United Way of Morris County’s Success By 6® Coalition Invests in Early Childhood Education
Numerous studies show that quality early learning helps a child succeed in school, work, and life. Investing $1 now in early learning saves $17 in the future, with tangible results measured in lower crime, fewer teen pregnancies, and higher individual education and earning levels.
Success By 6® is the driving force behind United Way of Morris County’s focus on EDUCATION. As the nation’s largest network of early childhood coalitions, more than 350 local United Way communities have formed Success By 6 coalitions to improve school readiness. For more than 15 years, these coalitions have been raising awareness of the importance of early childhood development, increasing access to services, and advocating for public policies to improve young children’s lives.
