Success By 6, the early childhood initiative of United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County, works to ensure that every child is ready to succeed by the time they enter kindergarten. Success By 6 brings together early childhood educators, public school administrators and teachers, businesses, health centers, advocates and parents to work toward this common goal. A variety of publications, professional development activities, preschool scholarship funding and community outreach programs assist early childhood educators and families throughout the year.
