Childhood Education International

ACEI, the Association for Childhood Education International, has abbreviated its name to Childhood Education International or CE International. Our mission will remain the same—to ensure children’s education worldwide. We thank you for your support and look forward to a bright future together.

CE International has been in operation since 1892. We have an esteemed history that covers 127 years, providing our organization with a great deal of knowledge, understanding, and perspective about children’s education worldwide.

We focus mainly on the early years from birth to 11 years old; however, we also recognize that in order to work in a holistic way, we must understand and consider the entire cycle of children’s learning and development. Child development is, after all, a continuum of experiences that spans from birth through adolescence up until the transition to adulthood, with the early years being the critical foundation and launching point that influences the rest of a child’s life.

We differentiate our organization from others in that we work at the intersection of education, child development, and international development—international development being the actions that build, grow, and strengthen communities and nations.
