A little bit about the Childhood Education International ... their mission is to develop and amplify innovative solutions to education challenges that affirm children's learning and development as the pathway to sustainable futures for all.

CE International's organisation has been driven by the belief that education is essential to human development and they are constantly looking at how education has the power to change lives. CE International works for the education of all children but has a special interest in ensuring that their energies are focused on meeting the needs of the most fragile and vulnerable children.

As a centre we also have memberships with SEFDEY (Sector-Endorsed Foundation Degrees in Early Years Professional Association), a professional association intended to provide a "voice" for early years and to endorse the quality of Foundation Degrees offered within the sector. Along with, ECSDN (Early Childhood Studies Degrees Network) , a network designed to develop the graduate and postgraduate level education, training and research in the field of early childhood studies.

Our Early Childhood Course Director and Associate Professor Charlotte Jones has added "We view the degree programme within the context of the global, national and local community and prioritise engagement with children and families whose voices sit at the heart of our studies and practices."
