[10] The Alliance for Early Success focuses on state policies that can change the calculus for children 0-8 through legislative, regulatory, executive or budgetary actions.

Structuring recommendations and advocating for these policies is most effectively done at the state level, because each state has in place a unique and complex set of laws, regulations, funding mechanisms, and governance arrangements that shape services and supports for young children and their families.

[11] Today, the organization is the 50-state alliance of state-level advocates for early childhood education, health, and family supports.

The Alliance makes targeted strategic financial investments in these state organizations and the national experts that support them.

In addition, it hosts national meetings, convenes policy-specific learning communities, offers high-level technical assistance and rapid-response support, and connects state advocates with each other for crucial information exchange.
