The Political Will To Improve Early Childhood Systems

One of the strategies that I have learned from advocates for early childhood that will influence the political will is reflected on the website 'Alliance for Early Success'. 'The Alliance for Early Success' is a catalyst for bringing state, national, and funding partners together to improve state policies for children, starting at birth and continuing through age eight. The Alliance for Early Success operates on (1) A Policy Framework; (2) Partnerships; (3) Resources; (4) and Grants. This advocacy program covers a wide variety of issues that affect quality early childhood programs. This organization reflects a high level of collaboration and networking among various stakeholders. Collaboration among stakeholders is very important. This will ensure that all involved are on the same page and eliminate wastage in areas of time, expertise and resources. All persons involved will also receive a true picture of how complex early their families. This organization is very good at providing feedback on how each sector is working and influencing the quality of the early childhood programs. The section of the work that appeals to me the most is the section that relates to resources. Resources often encompass research that leads to developing a framework that influences the policies that often reflect our early childhood system. Without proper information we cannot develop effective policies that will enhance the early childhood sector. Because early childhood is a very dynamic and complex field much attention should be paid to this section. Reference Birth to Five Policy Alliance. (2011). Retrieved from http://earlysuccess.org/
