🌟 This Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), let’s embrace the power of inclusive design, inclusion and accessibility for all, especially for children with disabilities. 🌟 Did you know? 90% of a Child’s Brain Develops By the age of 5, and the same is true for children with disabilities. As we mark GAAD, we recognize that early childhood education is a critical foundation for every child’s growth and developmental potential, including children with disabilities. 🔍 Why accessibility is important in Early Childhood Education for Children with Disabilities: Equity: Accessible education ensures that every child, regardless of ability, has equal opportunities to learn and thrive. Empathy: Inclusive classrooms foster empathy, understanding, and acceptance, benefiting all students. Innovation: When we create accessible learning environments, we inspire creativity and innovation. 🌐 Let’s advance accessible education for our youngest learners, including those with disabilities! Join Theirworld’s Act for Early Years campaign by signing the petition demanding leaders commit $1 billion in new funding. Together, we can provide millions of children with the quality early education and care they urgently need and rightfully deserve. 📚👶 #GAAD #GAAD2024 #InclusionMatters #EarlyEducation #ActForEarlyYears #ChildrenWithDisabilities #AccessibilityMatters #EqualAccess #EarlyChildhoodEducation

❗ Every child, and every parent, deserves quality childcare ❗ New research has revealed that the number of childcare providers in the UK is falling. 📉 4/5 areas in England have seen a decline in the number of childcare places available in nurseries, daycare groups and childminders. The childcare crisis is a global issue. Around the world, more than half of all young children do not have the access they need to childcare - that's 350 MILLION children. The result? Parents are left with no options. And children pay the price. Theirworld is working to #ActForEarlyYears because every child deserves quality, affordable care in their most precious early years 👉 Follow us to join the campaign. #EarlyYears #QualityChildcare #ChildcareProviders #GlobalChildcare #AffordableCare #ParentingStruggles

A few years back, stars of TV, film and sport - Laura Carmichael, Michael Sheen and Ade Adepitan - joined our founder Sarah Brown in sharing their stories of the teachers who most inspired them. In a time when the teaching profession has never been more under pressure, and teachers feel undervalued, it's important to celebrate educators and remind ourselves of the crucial part they play in forming individuals and our society. 🙌 Happy #NationalTeacherAppreciationDay! #TeacherAppreciation #NationalTeacherAppreciationDay #TeachersDay #NationalTeachersDay
