Our desire is to improve the quality of early education in Greater Houston. We work with parents, educators, and local leaders to make sure our region’s children have the learning opportunities they need to succeed – in school and throughout their lives.
A strong future for Greater Houston depends on a highly competitive local workforce to support our region’s economy. If we’re going to tackle the issue in the long term, we need to invest in our region’s children, who will become the next generation of qualified employees.
Collaborative for Children increases the quality of early education in Greater Houston, using research-based strategies and partnerships to really make a difference. We support educators, advocate for important policies, and connect parents to resources and programs.
Making high-quality early education a reality for every child is the best way to invest in our region’s future. The children who live here today are the ones who will support our region’s economy in the years to come – and when they have access to vital learning opportunities, we all go far.
Quality early education matters for us all. It deeply enhances our quality of life today and creates a future generation of valuable community-members, ensuring a strong Greater Houston for years to come.
More than 100 comparative studies of early childhood education show that children who attended preschool prior to kindergarten had lasting improvements in cognitive, social skills and school progress.
Collaborative for Children is offering the upcoming trainings and events.
