Policy Framework

The Birth Through Eight State Policy Framework lays the groundwork for ensuring all young children and their families thrive by elevating policies that improve health, family economic stability, and learning outcomes. 

These policies address a range of issues and require different levels of investment, and every one of them draws upon what we know from science.

Leaders can choose which policies to pursue based on their states’ political, social, and economic realities. The Alliance uses the Framework to guide our partnerships and investments, and it also serves as a unifying tool to help anyone interested in smart state policies make decisions and take actions that have the best possible chance for ensuring all children birth through 8 can reach their full potential.

Use the buttons on the right to navigate the four key components of framework.
