What We Do
Designed With You. Built to Last.
Childhood Education International (CE International) is a global, non-profit consulting service that partners with governments, NGOs, education systems, and institutions to strengthen the systems that support young children’s learning, development, and wellbeing.
We work alongside our clients to design, test, and implement practical solutions — from standards and tools to training and system-level strategies — that are grounded in evidence, adapted to local contexts, and scalable across diverse settings.
Rooted in a collaborative, flexible approach that adapts to both short-term needs and long-term goals, our work is organized across three interconnected practice areas: Quality Assurance, Professional Learning, and Capacity Building. Together, they ensure that early childhood systems are not only effective today, but resilient over time.
Practice Areas
Quality Assurance
Strong early childhood systems depend on clear, credible, and measurable standards of quality. Through our Quality Assurance practice, CE International supports clients in defining excellence, strengthening accountability, and improving program quality across early learning environments.
We work with accrediting bodies, ministries of education, training institutions, and education providers to develop quality frameworks that align international best practice with national and local priorities — ensuring children receive safe, equitable, and developmentally appropriate care and education.
What this work can include:
- Quality Recognition and Validation for Accrediting Agencies
- Certification of Early Childhood Training Programs
- Design of Early Childhood Teacher Credentials Aligned to International Standards
- Development of Quality Standards, Guidance, and Curriculum Frameworks
- Diagnostic Assessments, Monitoring Tools, and Implementation Support
Professional Learning
Effective systems rely on confident, capable educators and leaders. Our Professional Learning practice equips teachers, school leaders, and institutions with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to improve teaching practice and advance equitable learning outcomes.
We co-design professional learning experiences that are context-relevant, inclusive, and evidence-based, supporting educators across stable, crisis-affected, and displacement settings. Our approach blends technical expertise with practical application, ensuring learning translates directly into classroom and system-level impact.
What this work can include:
- Teaching and Learning Technical Assistance
- Curriculum and Teaching Guide Development
- Competency Frameworks and Teaching and Learning Resources
- Communities of Practice and Peer Learning Networks
- Open-source Micro-learning Tools and Modules
Capacity Building
Sustainable change happens when systems, leadership, and partnerships work together. Through our Capacity Building practice, CE International helps strengthen the infrastructure that allows early childhood systems to function, adapt, and grow.
We support clients in aligning policy with implementation, coordinating across sectors, and building leadership and partnerships that sustain progress over time. This work often bridges education, health, child protection, family services, and the private sector to create cohesive, child-centered systems
What this work can include:
- Early Childhood Systems Strengthening and Policy Alignment
- Leadership Development, Coaching, and Mentoring
- Partnership Facilitation and Coalition Building
- Strategic and Operational Planning
