Inclusive Education

Every child has a right to an education, especially one that reflects their interests and nurtures their abilities, builds upon their strengths, and meets their needs.

Childhood Education International is committed to fostering inclusive approaches to education that ensure every child has the opportunities they deserve to participate in all aspects of education, learning, and life.

We seek to to build more inclusive learning environments for all children, particularly those with disabilities, by supporting educators and other education leaders as they:

  • Integrate approaches that optimize psychological, socio-emotional, and cognitive development 
  • Partner with caregivers, families, and the wider community to understand the importance of inclusion 
  • Create learning environments where all children feel welcome and have a sense of belonging 
  • Innovate solutions to challenges to inclusion within education systems 
  • Ensure child safety, protection, and well-being
