Young Child Institute

The Young Child Institute (YCI) is a unique facility for infants and children who have emotional bonding issues with their parents or who exhibit behavioral problems in pre-school. For example, some toddlers have been expelled from pre-school by the time they are referred to YCI.

This program is the only one of its kind for children ages birth to five years in the Greater Cincinnati area, and focuses on strengthening parent-child bonding. YCI services complement the prevention and educational programs of United Way of Greater Cincinnati‘s Success by 6 strategy, and Every Child Succeeds and its managing partner, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, all of which refer children and families to the YCI program.
