The first five years of a child’s life are a critical period when 90 percent of all brain development occurs. What happens in these early years has a lasting impact from kindergarten readiness to high school graduation and beyond. SX6ATX is a coalition of service providers, policy makers, funders, and experts in our community ensuring we invest early – not only for success by six but for the success of our entire community. Investments in early childhood provide a critical foundation for the long term economic health of our community. For the past six years, the SX6ATX Coalition has lead a community strategic plan that coordinates our efforts. On April 24th, we formally launch the newest iteration of this plan
– a bold roadmap that charts our path over the next 2000 days.
