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.
Foundation for a Healthy North Dakota travels the state to meet people where they are, listen, share information, answer questions, and then helps them advocate for what they want for their communities. And the hard work is paying off.
In recent years, a growing number of states have moved towards unified ECE governance to help administer the variety of programs states are responsible for, including child care subsidies, child care licensing, state-funded pre-K, IDEA Part B and Part C, child care quality improvement systems, and Head Start state collaboration offices. While these states pursue consolidation to add efficiency, others pursue are trying alternate strategies to reach the same goals.
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.
