We are working with allies across the country to achieve equitable state early childhood policy that supports young children and their families.
In all 50 states, the Alliance for Early Success is making big, sustained impact possible. Take a closer look.
It is no secret that early childhood educators face challenges in Wisconsin and beyond, and yet plans to make the system more equitable are often missing the voices of these practitioners themselves. In Wisconsin, a new study that centers the voices of Wisconsin early educators from traditionally marginalized groups is already having an impact on policy in the state.
When advocates at Rodel in Delaware began planning a targeted messaging strategy for increasing child care subsidies, the Alliance connected them with Child Care Aware of America, who helped them build a dashboard that quantifies the gap in child care supply and demand at the local level. This allowed advocates to create fact sheets about the shortage of child care in each state legislative district and, ultimately, win more than $10 million in additional subsidy and reimbursement funding.
The Alliance is committed to centering racial equity in our strategic planning and in the community building that is central to our work.
When you combine connections to peers, access to experts, general operations funding, learning communities, and responsive assistance tailored to a state's landscape, you get a unique kind of support for state early childhood policy advocates that makes unexpected gains possible.
The Alliance for Early Success has deep expertise and extensive connections in a long list of early childhood policy areas.
In our resource centers, we connect state advocates—and the broader field—with research, briefs, data sets, state policy examples, and more that represent the latest state early childhood policy knowledge and resources that they need to plan and inform.
The past year was historic for state actions to improve outcomes for young children. See the big trends and state-by-state reviews in the Alliance’s latest 50-State Early Childhood Policy Progress and Landscape Report.
