Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of Collaborative for Children is to meaningfully improve the quality of early childhood education and care for Greater Houston's children through those who are most influential in their lives.
Collaborative for Children builds an educational foundation for children to succeed in school and in life by supporting training for educators, supplementing classroom resources, advocating for policies, and connecting families to child care resources and parenting programs.
Provider Engagement programs support and develop childcare and early education professionals through on-site mentoring and modeling, training for directors and teachers in early care and education programs, scholarships for professional development conferences, and wage enhancement programs to reward teachers for obtaining higher educational credentials. Our materials and equipment programs provide the use of learning resource materials and equipment to area early childhood educators and childcare providers. CFC works with eligible child care centers to assess their resource material/equipment needs.
Family Engagement programs provide families with information, resources and support to launch their children toward academic and life success by providing parent education, printed parenting tips, resource materials, and referrals for early education, after-school programs and children with special needs.
Community Engagement brings partners together, both regionally and across the state, to improve healthy child development through collaborative service delivery.
