Parents, Grandparents & Other Primary Caregivers
The United Way Success By 6 team works to support parents in their role as a child’s first teachers.
Programs:
United Way KinderClub is a kindergarten readiness program for parents and their preschoolers. Through the program, volunteer teachers share academic and social information with parents of children who will be starting kindergarten the next fall to use at home.
Raising Children With Conscious Discipline Series - Join us for free sessions for parents, grandparents and other primary caregivers of children and professionals who work with children ages birth through six.
