Collaborative for Children We are a nonprofit with a mission to improve the quality of early childhood education. Our core beliefs and values shape who we are as an organization.

They’re behind everything we do, and they bring us closer to fulfilling our mission each day. COLLABORATION
There are many different people who shape our children’s success and all are an important part of our work. Together, we are investing in our area’s future, accomplishing more than we ever thought we could alone. TRANSPARENCY
From how we work to how we’re funded, we choose to operate with complete transparency, so that our valued partners can trust in our mission and work. DETERMINATION
There’s an enormous need for quality early education – the future of our region depends on it – and we are deeply committed to building a strong foundation for all children to succeed academically and financially. EQUALITY
We believe that all our children should have access to the same opportunities, no matter their background, and our work remains unfinished until we get there. INCLUSIVENESS
Our only agenda is to advance quality early education, and we take a nonpartisan approach, working with everyone at the table.

Confidence doesn't start with trophies or report cards. Sometimes, it starts with a simple conversation. Tonight, ask your child: "What made you feel proud of yourself today?" When children learn to recognize their own accomplishments, they begin building confidence from within and develop a stronger sense of self. It's a small habit that can make a lasting impact. Try it at bedtime tonight and let us know how your child responds.

97% of children enrolled in Collaborative for Children’s early learning Centers of Excellence continue to make positive gains in at least one key school‑readiness skill. Listen to this incredible success story from LuRonda Randle, Owner/Director of Academic Romper Room 2, about the amazing progress her students are making as they get ready for kindergarten and beyond.

Behind every adorable story is a child building confidence, language skills, creativity, and connections with the world around them. The imagination of a preschooler is undefeated.

Strong futures start earlier than many realize. A child’s first learning environment builds confidence, curiosity, and forms meaningful relationships. These early experiences lay the foundation for success in kindergarten, school, and beyond. For nearly 40 years, Collaborative for Children has partnered with early childhood educators, child care providers, families, and communities to strengthen that foundation across Greater Houston.

Some toys support creativity. Some build problem-solving skills. And some mysteriously disappear after you step on them one too many times.

Parenting is a journey. So is finding that toy.
