Welcome to Success By 6
United Way of America Success By 6 Initiatives
is the nation’s largest early childhood initiative enabling more than 350 communities across the country to implement out-come-focused strategies to positively affect early childhood development. Each Success By 6 develops their program based on critical issues for their community's 0 - 6 population.
United Way of Central Alabama’s Success By 6 focus is to improve the reading readiness skills of 4-year olds who attend preschool programs in at-risk communities. The ability to read well and enjoy it is critical to future success in school.

Jefferson County's Blueprint for School Readiness
United Way of Central Alabama's Success By 6 school readiness initiative coordinates the local implementation for the "Jefferson County Blueprint for School Readiness." The Jefferson County Blueprint for School Readiness is a community based initiative to bring partners together to address school readiness for all children in Jefferson County. The Blueprint will be reconvening existing groups of community partners this spring to continue the work to improve the systems serving our young children and their families. This work will result in an increased number of Jefferson County's four year olds who arrive at school ready to learn and succeed. This effort is enabled by a grant awarded by the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham. For more information contact Brooke Burgess at 205-458-2178.
Preschool Math Initiative Adds Up to Success!
The SB6 team has been busy designing a preschool math intiative to be launched in selected sites this fall. It is not just ABCs anymore for kids at SB6. To improve math skills of our preschoolers SB6 will:
- Purchase and train each selected SB6 site in Every Day Math curriculum
- Create math centers in all sites
- Teach age appropriate math for SB6 preschoolers in each site
- Create cost effective and reproducible math games and activities
- Train all SB6 teachers on Pre K math skills, development, and activities to assure the best outcomes for each child.
- Share the Pre K Math initiative model and tools with early care and education partners
- Disseminate best practices for math education for four year olds in child care classrooms.
This initiative is made possible by a grant from the Malone Family Foundation.
