Abstract:
This blueprint tells the tale of two states, Alabama and New Mexico. Each has defied expectations within the realm of early childhood policy. The blueprint focuses on the transformation of the early childhood and education system, and particularly child care, in New Mexico, where the story begins in 2011 and ends in 2022. To highlight the commonalities of such seemingly diverse states, the blueprint describes how Alabama is achieving bold reforms in child care. Policymakers and legislators from both sides of the aisle, advocates, community organizers, parents, and philanthropists can borrow from this blueprint to expand access to quality child care. This blueprint is a guide for leaders who want to follow the paths that New Mexico and Alabama are creating for its youngest children.
