LEADING FOR CHILDREN
Programs
Leading for Children Initiative
LEADING FOR CHILDREN WORKS WITH ADULTS WHO IMPACT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION THAT YOUNG CHILDREN RECEIVE. WE DO THIS BY BRINGING TOGETHER EDUCATORS ACROSS ALL ROLES (AGENCY LEADERS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS, TEACHERS, RECEPTIONISTS, COOKS, BUS DRIVERS, AND FAMILIES) TO DEVELOP OPTIMISTIC LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND DEFINE A COHESIVE, RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH TO HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMMING. WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT YOUNG CHILDREN IN POVERTY HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS THOSE WITH ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE. LEADING FOR CHILDREN USES AN INTENSIVE SEMINAR APPROACH INVOLVING TEAMWORK, COLLABORATION AND ONGOING SUPPORT IN PERSON AND ONLINE TO STRENGTHEN EARLY LEARNING PRACTICES LEADING TO IMPROVED CHILD OUTCOMES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$923.4KProgram 1 [2025]
CHILDREN'S OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT RELIES ON POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULTS. LEADING FOR CHILDREN FOSTERS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AMONG ALL ADULTS IN THE CHILD'S ECOSYSTEM, STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS FOR COLLECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND BUILDS AGENCY AND EQUITY IN COMMUNITIES. WE PRACTICE THE GROUNDBREAKING HUMANITY FIRST MODEL, FOUNDED BY JUDY JABLON, TO IMPROVE EARLY LEARNING. IT IS A HUMANITY-CENTERED HOLISTIC APPROACH TO EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION THAT IS INCLUSIVE, EQUITABLE, AND COLLABORATIVE. OUR PROVEN MUTUAL LEARNING METHOD THAT USES FIVE COMMITMENTS AND 11 SIMPLE RULES HONORS THE WISDOM AND DIGNITY OF EVERYONE WHO CARES FOR AND EDUCATES OUR CHILDREN. STRONGER ADULTS = STRONGER CHILDREN = STRONGER COMMUNITIES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2024 – Jun 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$802K
