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.
Alliance for Early Success convenings, connections, and community fueled the Bright Start Tennessee Dashboard–Tennessee advocates’ new, highly tailored early childhood data portal. Now that each of the Bright Start regions has access to the regularly updated dashboard, they’re better equipped to measure progress and champion state policies with regional and local data.
In an effort to extend the reach of publicly funded pre-k programs, policymakers and advocates are turning toward a strategy of increasing pre-K enrollment spots beyond school and center-based classrooms, such as in family child care homes. A new national initiative aims to help family child care providers in Alabama, Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina integrate into publicly funded pre-k programs.
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.
