About CEI
Childhood Education International (CEI) works with a vision to transform education, so that every child has access to quality and equitable care and education experiences that uphold their right to learn. In order to secure the right to learn for every child, CEI also works towards ensuring their overall well-being, including their health, safety, protection, and growth.
To be precise, Childhood Education International (formerly, the Association for Childhood Education International), has been in operation since 1892. Throughout their esteemed history, they have remained committed to one central mission: ensuring children’s education worldwide. In order to secure the right to learn for every child, we also must ensure their overall well-being including their health, safety, protection, and growth. Ultimately, they believe that educating children is the key to a better world for all.
They want every child to learn and grow, but gives special attention to the most vulnerable and fragile ones who wish to be in school and learning but may not have opportunities to do so. CEI understands the value of education not only because it can change lives positively, but also because it is a stimulus for community development, peace, security, and a hope for the future.
CEI’s global perspective means that their programs and services can be delivered in many communities and nations with relative ease and minimal modification. They believe in empowering communities to create education experiences that are relevant to their education needs, the context of their community, and their unique cultures.
History
CEI’s work began in 1892, with the effort to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. Since the very beginning, they have been an international organization driven by the belief that education is essential to human development. More than a century later, this core belief remains the same as they look at human development on a global scale and see how education has the power to change lives. Today, their commitment to advance education translates to a commitment to education as a tool for global development and sustainable futures for all. Childhood Education International works for the education of all children, but has a special interest in ensuring that our energies are focused on meeting the education needs of the most fragile and vulnerable children.
