The alliance had two areas of focus: Data Use; and Preparation and Support. Overall, alliance objectives included determining ways to use data to inform early childhood practices, policies, and programs; and supporting effective instruction and classroom environments. The long-term goals of the alliance involved increasing kindergarten readiness and quality early childhood environments.
