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.
Several states including Maryland, Arkansas, and Indiana have opted to reduce funding for early learning programs, while others, such as New York, Texas, and Illinois, managed to strengthen their programs despite fiscal headwinds.
In 2015, Let’s Grow Kids, a statewide advocacy organization, was launched in Vermont with a clear goal: secure affordable access to high-quality child care for the state’s families by 2025. Let’s Grow Kids has now officially ended its operations, and that is by design. The organization was designed from the start to be a time-limited, ten-year endeavor to reach the unprecedented outcome it achieved in Act 76, which passed in 2023.
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.
