The Alliance for Early Success

We love it when conversations about early childhood and paid family leave get the national spotlight. But your state is where so many of the decisions are made. Wherever you live, help keep the spotlight on success for all children. #EveryChildEveryState

The 2024 Early Childhood Workforce Index has launched with a state-by-state look at policies and conditions affecting the #ECE workforce! Plus bright spots - how states like VT, NM & more are supporting educators. cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-inde…

Yes! #Philanthropy in #NorthCarolina is coming together and getting loud for #ChildCare and #EarlyLearning. #EveryChildEveryState ednc.org/perspective-no…

The clear findings in new research from @pivotalventures and @BPCAction shouldn't surprise anyone -- families continue to feel the economic strain of caregiving and want policies that better support caregivers. #CareGiving #EveryChildEveryState

We were excited to participate in the Power Equity Council retreat in Chicago! We are honored to be a member of the Power Equity Council, which aims to make shared funding decisions to help radically transform the early childhood ecosystem. Exciting times ahead! @4earlysuccess

Congratulations, Kate! A trailblazer if we ever knew one!

Dispatch from #WilmingtonNC, where the full @EarlySuccess team retreat included learning about the too-little-known Wilmington Massacre of 1898 with the amazing Cedric Harrison (@action_nc at @WilmingtonColor). Keep this history with you, Cedric says. “Don’t be a zombie!”

Kids' experiences during the first 5 years of life are critical for making sure they start school ready to learn! Check out the updated Texas School Readiness Dashboard for early childhood data and policy recommendations for the Lone Star State! txreadykids.org

Taking a moment to #shoutout to @vakids and other #ChildWelfare advocates in Virginia for their serious progress on policy that supports #KinshipCare. Kinship placements were 20% in 2022, up from 5% in 2016! earlysuccess.org/virginia-kinsh…

Today we're launching the updated Texas School Readiness Dashboard! Early childhood experiences are so critical to determining if kids start school ready to thrive! Check out the data showing how Texas — and your region of the state — is doing: bit.ly/TXreadykids2024 #TXlege

It's the last day of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, but that doesn't mean we should stop working on breaking down the barriers to equitable #MaternalHealth outcomes. Take a look at how @micouncilmch is working year-round to put permanent solutions in place. earlysuccess.org/michigan-mater…

Did you know that RI is the only state to date that has passed legislation calling for both private insurance and Medicaid to cover doula services?! That's a big win for maternal health equity. Learn more from this great @4earlysuccess webinar: earlysuccess.org/implementing-d…

Not only did our own @albert_wat bring the advocacy wisdom to the @CCSAchildcare conference this week, he also brought his #fashion A-game, matching the tie to the slides!

Thank you, Annette, for sharing your own #doula story to kick off #BMHW24! (And you, too, @GeneshaMichelle) #BlackMaternalHealthWeek earlysuccess.org/black-maternal…

Congratulations to @NMVoices and the amazing coalition that made this #FamilyEconomicSecurity pilot for #immigrant families possible. Parents know exactly what to do with extra cash to help their children succeed! #EveryChildEveryState earlysuccess.org/new-mexico-gua…
