Support Our Mission

Collaborative for Children Empowers Early Learning

At Collaborative for Children, we believe every child deserves a strong start. Our mission is to close the school-readiness gap by supporting child care centers and educators with the tools they need to nurture young minds. Through our Centers of Excellence, certified ECE training, and family-focused programs, we prepare children for success in school and in life.

“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
