Creating Opportunities for Every Child’s Success
Founded in 1948 with a presence in over 60 countries, OMEP-USA is a strong advocate for child rights education. We are dedicated to defending the human rights of girls and boys from birth to eight years of age, advocating for early childhood education and care as a fundamental right.
The Importance of Early Childhood Education and Care
OMEP-USA is dedicated to defending the human rights of children. We believe that early childhood education and care are essential for the integral development, citizenship, well-being, and dignity of all children worldwide. Our organization works tirelessly to promote these rights and ensure that they are realized for every child, regardless of their circumstances.
Expert Guidance and Support
As a scientific and pedagogical advisor specializing in early childhood education and care (ECEC), we provide expert guidance and support to governments, organizations, and individuals working in this field. Since 2008, OMEP has developed research and training in education for sustainable development, enriching teaching with new perspectives, practices and strategies to strengthen educators' effectiveness.
A Pivotal Role in International Advocacy
OMEP-USA played a pivotal role in the drafting of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which establishes the fundamental rights of all children to life, health, education, play, family, protection from violence, and discrimination. We continue to actively participate in the United Nations system, advocating for the implementation and enforcement of these rights. As a member of the UN system with special consultative status (ECOSOC), we work closely with other permanent members to promote the rights of children worldwide.
Our Commitment to a Brighter Future
Our mission is to create a world where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential through access to quality early childhood education and care. We believe that by investing in our youngest citizens, we are investing in a brighter future for all. Share your contribution to create a future where every child has the chance to thrive through quality early childhood education and care.
