Success By 6 Ottawa is an Early Childhood Development initiative that began in Minneapolis in 1988 under the leadership of the local United Way. The first Success By 6 in Canada was established in the early 1990s, and can now be found in more than 350 communities in Canada and the United States.

Success By 6 Ottawa was established in June 1999 and is a collaborative community initiative committed to the success of every child in Ottawa. Working with the community and for the community, Success By 6 Ottawa is continually striving to bring the early years community together in Ottawa.

Success By 6 is working to help all children succeed for life. By working together, we will be a community where all children are able to reach their full potential.

Our goal is to offer all children in Ottawa a good start so that by the time they reach the age of six, they are physically, socially, and emotionally healthy and ready to learn.

Success By 6 Ottawa is made up of partners from the public, private and non-profit sectors in Ottawa who work together with a shared vision of every child in Ottawa having the foundation to reach their full potential.

Success By 6 Ottawa wishes to thank the Province of Ontario, the City of Ottawa and United Way/Centraide Ottawa for their strong support for the children in our community.
