We believe children are our most valuable resource, and their well-being and education are the foundation of a thriving society. We want to reimagine the way our schools serve every child—because their future is our shared responsibility. Through research, advocacy, and policy recommendations, we work to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in education so that our schools reflect the needs and voices of our children. Together, we can create lasting change and build an education system where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Our Mission

At Every Childhood Counts our mission is to inform and drive meaningful change, demanding independent oversight in our education system. Through research,

advocacy, and policy recommendations, we work

to ensure transparency, accountability, and

fairness in education for all children.

Our Work

Our work takes a multifaceted approach to driving change in educational oversight.

1. Research and Policy Analysis: We conduct in-depth studies of children’s educational experiences—examining economic and social influences, disabilities and learning needs, support systems, and systemic barriers to drive data-informed solutions.


2. Video Archive: We maintain a powerful video archive featuring first-hand stories from students, families, and educators across California. These real-life accounts highlight learning challenges, disability, access barriers, and school system experiences—fueling public awareness, policy insight, and meaningful advocacy.


3. Public Awareness: Through media outreach, op-eds, and public events, we

inform, educate, and inspire communities to demand better oversight in education.


4. Engagement and Advocacy: We partner with parents, educators, advocacy groups, attorneys, government agencies, and legislators to raise awareness, and foster consensus to drive meaningful policy change.


5. Piloting and Case Studies: We collaborate with public and private sectors to pilot reforms, evaluate outcomes, and publish data-driven policy reports that inform non-partisan legislative action.


6. Legislation: We provide objective, research-driven insights to inform policy decisions, ensuring that education reforms are guided by data and best practices, to address the needs of students and families.

Our Vision

A future where every child—regardless of background or ability—is respected, supported, and given what they need to thrive. By identifying what’s not working with our schools, we can build an education system that truly meets every child's needs. We envision schools rooted in care, equity, and accountability—because when children are truly nurtured, communities flourish.
