We recently had the opportunity to visit the ?????? ?????? ??????? ?????????? | National eLearning Center (NeLC) in Saudi Arabia, and it got us even more excited to share the following: Global Childhood Academy is preparing to integrate our courses into the NeLC platform FutureX! This will give us the honour of being the first early childhood specialized short courses on FutureX.?The incredible technical teams at both sides have been working together to ensure smooth integration of our content and platform, and we recently started testing a small group of courses. The sense of collaboration we felt when meeting with the NeLC team is reinforced by our respect for their values of trust, integration, innovation, agility, and efficiency #GCA?#elearning #earlychildhooddevelopment #ecd #earlyyears?#onlinelearning?#ece

To fulfill our vision of a world where every child has access to quality care and education, we approach our work through our Collective Impact Framework. Our framework places the child at the center of an ecosystem surrounded by dedicated professionals, including teachers, leaders, social workers, and policymakers. This framework emphasizes: - Empowering Every Stakeholder: Each stakeholder matters and offers an important contribution to a child's life so that they can develop, learn, and grow to their highest potential. - Nurturing #HolisticDevelopment: We assist in refining specific competencies for each stakeholder, so they are prepared to serve, protect, care for and educate the child. -?Fostering Unity in Purpose: We highlight the interconnectedness of roles. Collaboration amongst these stakeholders is key.

With our focus on empowering the global #childhoodworkforce, we take cues from #thoughtleaders who are driving research in #learningsolutions that have the broadest impact. This made our Co-Founder Samia Kazi's recent catch-up with?Isabelle Hau?one of the most insightful engagements in recent memory. Isabelle is the executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, a Stanford-wide initiative to connect researchers across disciplines, and bridge research, practice, and policy, to bring quality, scalable and equitable learning experiences for all learners throughout their lifespan. Previously she was a founding partner at Imaginable Futures, a venture of the Omidyar Network, in which she led the U.S. education initiative, portfolio and team. Her work has directly impacted millions of learners and families, with that number sure to grow in February 2025 with her upcoming book "Love to Learn: The Transformative Power of Care and Connection in Early Education.” It’s safe to say it’s on our pre-order list! #AI #AIinEducation #GCA #ECD #Earlychildhooddevelopment #futureoflearning #empoweredwomen

Earlier this year we had the incredible opportunity to connect with powerhouse #WomanLeader Dalia Ibrahim. Ms. Ibrahim currently serves as CEO of Nahdet Misr Publishing House, an affiliate of the Nahdet Misr Publishing Group, a regional icon of knowledge for over 80 years. As head of a globally recognized provider of integrated and innovative educational, digital learning, publishing and capacity building solutions, having Ms. Ibrahim sit down with our Co-Founder Samia Kazi means standing up for the global childhood workforce. In addition to this crucial role, Ms. Ibrahim is the founder of both EdVentures, the region’s first corporate venture capital firm specializing in #Edtech, and Ta'heal Egypt for VET Skills Excellence, which offers demand-driven #vocationaleducation solutions. Finally, Dalia serves on several boards, including Endeavor Egypt, Education For Employment-Egypt, Women Entrepreneurs Network, Tiye Angels - Egypt's first Women's Angel Investor Network, and INJAZ Egypt. Often figures of such stature casts large shadows, but Ms. Ibrahim is nothing but a source of brilliant light in #EducationInnovation. We are hopeful to follow in her footsteps and serve the global childhood workforce. #GCA #ECD #Earlychildhooddevelopment #childhoodworkforce??#futureoflearning #empoweredwomen

An organization can measure its progress in many ways, but one key measure valued highly at Global Childhood Academy is the insight from thought leaders in our field. Dr. Nancy Brown led a 50+ year career that covered #ECE classroom teaching, advancing research, serving as a university professor, program director, and dean, and advocating for education & children's rights as a representative to the UN before now serving as a member of our advisory board. Testimonies such as Dr. Brown's and those of our other valued advisors ensures ensure our work has its intended impact: to accelerate the development of a global workforce dedicated to childhood care, education, and protection. #earlychildhood #ECD #childprotection #childrights
