At Collaborative for Children, the child is at the center of everything we do. They are the building blocks of our future.

Too many of Houston’s kids are not prepared to start school leading to achievement gaps and lost potential. Our programs, services, and resources are designed to shrink that gap and maximize that potential. We want to make sure children have the infrastructure that provides them with the school-readiness skills they’ll need to thrive and achieve in the 21st century.

But we need your help to do it. Your donation won’t just help make sure children are prepared to learn. You’ll also be setting them on the right path to a better, brighter tomorrow.

“The early years are the most critical when the brain is developing at an exponential rate—1 million neurons per second. That’s a lot of connections being made in the first years of life. If we want to have a society full of productive, healthy adults we have to start in the early years. That requires a stimulating, loving environment.”

Dr. Quianta Moore, Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy
