This Giving Tuesday, help give every child the opportunity to reach their full potential!
The Children’s Learning Institute at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston helps children of all backgrounds reach their potential. With expertise in child development, medicine, psychology, neuroscience, and education, we empower families and educators to support healthy development from infancy through adolescence. Our faculty diagnose and treat learning disorders, create methods to enhance a child's home and learning environments, and build teaching, learning, and coaching platforms.
Your Giving Tuesday gift supports the people and programs that help children thrive—today and in the years to come.

Reach Out and Read
This national literacy program helps families build early reading habits by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Your gift in support of the Reach Out and Read program ensures that children across Texas receive the gift of language and learning from an early age.
Susan H. Landry, PhD, Research and Education Endowment

Texas School Ready
Every child deserves a strong foundation for lifelong learning. The Texas School Ready program expands access to high-quality early education for three- and four-year-old children at risk of falling behind in learning. The project uses a state-approved curriculum, child progress monitoring to inform instruction, and ongoing professional development with mentoring for teachers. Your gift in support of the Texas School Ready program will help grow the number of children who can participate in this program, equipping them to start school prepared and confident.
