Childhood Education International (CE International) is a global, non-profit consulting service helping governments, NGOs, education institutions, school systems, and businesses design and implement innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions to support children’s education and wellbeing.
We bring together 130+ years of experience, extensive expertise from our global network, and cutting-edge consulting methods to strengthen early childhood systems and services worldwide.
CE International strengthens early childhood systems through three integrated practice areas: Quality Assurance, Professional Learning, and Capacity Building. Our work elevates practice, builds workforce expertise, and develops the structures, tools, and leadership needed to drive lasting, scalable impact for children and communities worldwide.
We help strengthen and align standards, systems, and practices to support consistent, effective early childhood services. Outputs may include quality frameworks, monitoring and evaluation tools, observation rubrics, accreditation or certification models, and improvement roadmaps.
We design engaging, evidence-informed learning experiences that build skills and leadership across the childhood workforce. Outputs range from courses, workshops, and micro-credentials to coaching models, learning pathways, and communities of practice.
We support organizations and systems to grow their ability to plan, lead, and sustain change over time. Outputs may include leadership development programs, institutional strengthening strategies, technical assistance models, and cross-sector partnership frameworks.
Childhood Education International works through a flexible, co-creative consulting approach that centers partnership, adaptability, and shared learning. We collaborate with clients through four primary ways of working — consulting services, strategic advising, resource development, and coalition building — tailoring each engagement to local contexts and long-term goals to drive meaningful, sustainable change.
