In the 10 years since its inception, Sixpence has given thousands of Nebraska infants and toddlers at-risk a stronger start in life by promoting high-quality early learning opportunities to help parents guide their children’s healthy development.
Schools, public systems, civic groups and service providers partner to develop unique Sixpence grants designed to meet local needs. Data show that Sixpence-supported grants deliver fiscally responsible, measurable results that are helping our most vulnerable children get the start they need to succeed in school and life.
Sixpence has launched a new website to coincide with its 10-year anniversary with updates on brain development and the importance of focusing on infants and toddlers, an overview of Sixpence programs across the state and a login for Sixpence grantees to report on their work.
