Children's Institute of Oregon

The Children’s Institute was created in 2003 to move research to action by highlighting best practices that can make a measurable difference in the life of an at-risk child.

The organization's goals include educating Oregonians about the importance of early childhood development, developing an Oregon Children's Budget, and spotlighting best practices that most effectively serve Oregon's children.

We also staff the Ready for School public awareness campaign, aimed at ensuring all children enter kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed.
