Program areas at Leading For Children

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.
