Success By 6 Parents/Primary Caregivers

 

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 designed to help children who will be in kindergarten next fall and their parent or primary caregiver. Through the program parents and primary caregivers learn academic and social information to help prepare their children who will be starting kindergarten next fall.

Check back in early 2025 to see where United Way KinderClub will be offered.

United Way KinderClub at home is a kit for parents and caregivers to use with their children at home and at their own pace.
