The Global Childhood Academy (GCA) is a Platform dedicated to enabling upskilling educators and other professionals serving children.
Our mission is to create a global ecosystem, bringing together adult learners with vetted training providers and thought leaders.
To do this, we have designed a platform that brings together stakeholders collectively making a lasting impact on our future societies.

In her early years of life (the most critical years), Noor will interact with multiple adults, including, Noor’s caregivers and family, educators, and health professionals.
If Noor suffers from abuse or neglect, there will be interactions with social workers, law enforcement officers, lawyers, and judges
There are also groups of adults that will directly or indirectly influence Noor’s life, including:
At GCA, we are concerned with the upskilling of these groups. We want to advocate on behalf of children like Noor and make sure that every adult that influences a child’s life is reflecting upon their own role but is also collectively thinking about the importance of the larger complex system of actors.
We are unique because we are the only online learning platform created with Noor in mind. We know what it means to be child-centered. We believe that we can do this by working together. We know how essential partnerships are, and the importance of sharing resources, and leaning on each other through trusted systems. That’s why we created a platform that serves both learners and training providers.

And our growth plans
Founders trained over 11k educators, social workers, parents, social workers, policy makers, and parents.
We watched as tens of thousands of training providers serving children struggled to move their trainings and services online.
The world was not prepared.
Children paid the price.
We created an online PLATFORM that supports the professional learning needs of adults in various child serving sectors.
As adults we all have a role to play in protecting and caring for children.
