Alliance for Early Success
About
The Alliance for Early Success is the nation's 50-state nonprofit that works with advocates across the country to achieve equitable state early childhood policy that supports young children and their families.
The organization is a catalyst for putting vulnerable young children on a path to success. Our goal is to advance state policies that lead to improved health, learning, and family support outcomes for young children ages birth through eight. We create and enhance partnerships by bringing leaders together in new and innovative ways, with the goal of achieving results faster and better than anyone could do alone. The birth through eight state policy framework is a tool, or roadmap, that anyone can use to guide policy in ways that will improve the health, learning, and economic outcomes for vulnerable young children. The framework outlines three policy priority areas essential for the healthy growth and development of young children: health, family support, and learning. Evidence-based and innovative best practice policy options are provided in each of the policy areas.
