Empowering Almajiri Children: A Step Towards Building a Better Future and society. The future of any society rests in the hands of its children, and when we invest in their education, we unlock limitless potential for growth and transformation. Educating Almajiri children is not just an act of compassion; it is a moral obligation and a strategic investment in our collective progress. Almajiri children, often marginalized and left to fend for themselves on the streets, have the same innate genius and potential as any other child. By taking them off the streets and giving them access to quality education, we break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability that has trapped them for generations. Education gives them the knowledge and skills they need to dream bigger, aspire higher, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond. By educating Almajiri children, we are nurturing a generation of thinkers, innovators and leaders. They become productive members of society who drive economic growth, foster positive change and uplift those around them. Their empowerment is a catalyst for social cohesion and national development, as they become individuals who respect diversity, promote peace and protect human rights. Getting them off the streets restores their dignity, protects them from exploitation, and gives them hope for a better future. This demonstrates our commitment to creating an inclusive society where no child is left behind, regardless of their background or situation. The ripple effect of educating Almajiri children is profound: families are empowered, communities are transformed, and nations are strengthened. Together, we champion this cause with unwavering determination, because every child educated today is a seed of greatness planted for tomorrow. At CESi we invest in their dreams, nurture their potential, and watch them blossom into architects of a brighter and more equal future.

🌟 Empowering Every Child: The Importance of Focused Education for Children in Care Homes 🌟 Working as a social worker for 24 years, we ve met so many incredible children who, despite facing unimaginable challenges, have a tremendous potential to thrive. For children living in care homes, learning difficulties can be particularly daunting. These kids often carry heavy emotional burdens that can make traditional schooling feel like an uphill battle. 💡 Why Focused Education Matters: Personal Touch: Every child is unique, and their education should reflect that. Tailored programs can help meet each child where they are, addressing their specific challenges and strengths. Emotional Nurturing: A safe, supportive learning environment can make all the difference. When children feel understood and valued, they gain the confidence to engage and excel. Building Life Skills: Education isn't just about academics. It's about preparing children for life. Focused programs can teach resilience, problem-solving, and social skills that are vital for their future. Creating Opportunities: Education is the key to opening doors. With the right support, children in care can overcome their circumstances and achieve great things. 🏫 How We Can Make a Difference: Customized Learning: We need to create educational programs that cater to the diverse needs of children in care, blending therapeutic and academic approaches. Support for Educators: Teachers and caregivers play a crucial role. Let's ensure they have the training and resources they need to support these children effectively. Community Support: It takes a village to raise a child. By fostering community partnerships, we can provide a comprehensive support system for these kids. 🌈 What can be done Every child deserves a chance to succeed. Let’s work together to advocate for focused education programs that can truly change lives. By investing in these children's education, we’re not just helping them.

This article strikes a chord on several levels. We recently had to raise our tuition for private-pay families to make ends meet at Early Partners. I wrote to our families, "We firmly believe that high-quality early childhood education should be accessible to all families at no cost. However, we recognize the stark reality we live in." While we continue to offer tuition-free spots for low-income families, the middle class is suffering tremendously. This article certainly resonates. However, the downplay of the educational component of early care and education here and in the overall commentary related to #ECE is always baffling. 90% of the brain is formed before kids ever step foot into kindergarten. Public investments in K-12 would be exponentially magnified if all kids started school ready to learn. Why isn't this a bigger part of the conversation?

Today's blog: In a new report, Neighborhood Villages looks at how much high-quality care for children actually costs. The bad news? There’s a “true cost” gap. What Massachusetts pays for subsidized child care is thousands of dollars less than the costs of running high-quality programs, which means children can end up in programs that lack vital resources. Understanding this gap, “is the first step to rectifying a very broken funding model for the child care sector,” according to the report, High-Quality Early Childhood Education: Opening the Books on its True Costs.

Standing Firm for the Future of Our Children In a world where the early years of childhood lay the foundation for lifelong success, it is not only our responsibility but our moral duty to stand up for the rights and well-being of every child. Important: At this moment, the following programs are actively advocating for the Cincinnati, Ohio community. You can support their efforts by making a donation.

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all one’s might that which he desires." - Paulo Coelho As we celebrate Children's Day on November 14, let us reflect on the future we envision for our children. This day, honoring Jawaharlal Nehru—fondly known as "Chacha Nehru"—reminds us of his belief that children are the nation's greatest asset. We must prioritize education, ensuring that every child has access to quality learning opportunities. This includes embracing innovative teaching methods and technology to make education engaging and relevant. In terms of healthcare, it’s vital to provide comprehensive services that cater to children's physical and mental well-being, fostering a healthier future generation. Furthermore, we must create opportunities that empower children, equipping them with skills for sustainable careers. Investing in their potential today will yield a brighter tomorrow for our society. Let’s commit to nurturing a world where children can thrive, filled with love, resources, and opportunities. Happy Children's Day! #ChildrensDay #FutureGenerations #HealthcareForChildren #SustainableFuture #InvestInChildren #ChildDevelopment #BuildingABetterFuture

A 26-year longitudinal study reveals a striking opportunity gap between children from low- and high-income households. While most affluent children benefit from six or more developmental opportunities, nearly two-thirds of their low-income peers have access to only one or none. This disparity significantly influences long-term outcomes. Even modest access to opportunities can dramatically increase the likelihood of college graduation and higher lifetime earnings for low-income children. To close this gap, we must invest in holistic, multi-faceted programs that provide comprehensive support, ensuring every child can realize their full potential. Professionals in the education equity space are well aware of this reality. For organizations focused on supporting children, it’s essential to prioritize addressing this gap. It’s about seeing the possibilities of life and investing in what animates and motivates these young minds. Potential is ubiquitous, but opportunity is not. Equity in opportunity also means ensuring that racial representation is prioritized. When children see themselves reflected in their teachers, mentors, and leaders, it fosters a sense of belonging and possibility. It’s about building an ecosystem where all children, particularly those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, have the support they need to unlock their potential and succeed. Let's create spaces that affirm their identities while providing the opportunities they deserve. 🌟We must invest in holistic programs that allow every child to thrive. This is not just a goal but a call to action.🌟United Way of King County - Love & Liberation 🌟 #Education #OpportunityGap #Equity #ChildDevelopment #SocialMobility #SystemicChange #economicmobility #educationequity #socialjustice #thirdsector

Why Are Local Authorities Failing Children with Special Educational Needs As the leader of a company invested in early childhood education, I see the challenges nurseries face in providing quality care for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Despite the dedication of educational professionals, local authorities often fail to adequately support inclusive care for children with complex needs. Financial barriers are significant. Nurseries aim to be inclusive, but the costs for 1:1 support can be prohibitive. The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) reports that providing full-time support for a child with significant SEN can exceed £10,000 per year, making it unaffordable for many small or independent nurseries Obtaining funding for 1:1 support is often slow, taking several months to a year. This is particularly problematic for children needing immediate assistance. While thorough evaluations are important, the lengthy timelines hinder timely intervention, leaving vulnerable children without essential resources. Why can’t high needs block funding be allocated immediately for children with evident needs? Currently, the process requires going through the EHC plan assessment before this funding is granted, and then only when the child starts school - which can overlook immediate requirements. Local authorities should implement a model that assigns funding based on initial assessments and input from professionals already working with the child. Delays in funding have significant consequences. Research from the Department for Education shows that early intervention improves educational achievement and social skills. A 2018 report by the Education Policy Institute found only 47% of children with SEN reached expected reading levels by the end of primary school, compared to 78% of their peers. This gap often stems from inadequate support. The systemic failures of local authorities in providing timely support for children with SEN require urgent attention. Nurseries want to create inclusive environments, but they need proper financial and administrative backing. By reevaluating funding allocation and streamlining the support process, local authorities can better meet the needs of children with complex requirements. I was delighted to hear Catherine McLeod MBE from Dingley's Promise speak about their manifesto addressing these issues. Their commitment to advocating for change and supporting children with SEN is a vital step forward, and I look forward to seeing their proposals come to fruition. #SpecialEducationalNeeds #Inclusion #EarlyYearsEducation #SENSupport #ChildrensServices #NurseryEducation #Funding #EducationPolicy #ChildDevelopment #EarlyIntervention #InclusiveEducation #DingleysPromise #Advocacy #LocalAuthorities #SpecialNeeds #ChildcareChallenges #EducationForAll #SupportForSEN #EmpowerChildren

Graduation day is what we work for, a poignant milestone. "No child should have to drop out of school or life because of caregiving responsibilities." The AACY Caregiving Youth Project high school graduation celebration is a testament to our Caregiving Youth's strength, resilience, and compassion. With support from AACY, 60 high school seniors graduated this year, achieving a 100% graduation rate for our program participants. These graduates knew they were valued, supported, and not alone as caregivers. This milestone is not just about their academic achievements; it also recognizes that their dedication as caregivers has made a significant difference in the lives of their families, and their selflessness is admirable. Their caregiving responsibilities, however, don't stop at graduation. We need support programs for these young adults post-high school to ensure they continue to have opportunities to thrive, both as caregivers and as individuals pursuing their own goals. ### #CaregivingYouth #YoungCarers #YoungCaregivers #KidsAreCaregiversToo
