Whole child connection:the whole child connection (the connection) works toward the transformation of settings where children and youth grow, learn and play, so that all adults intentionally foster the social and emotional skills young people need to be successful. The connection creates sustained collaboration, authentic working relationships, and customized services; provides training, consultation, and supports, grounded in research and informed by data; and engages in action-oriented research and evaluation, informed by practitioners, working across multiple settings that serve children to make positive changes across systems.

Data and science:children's institute's staff are skilled in a range of state-of-the-art research, evaluation, and training tools and techniques, and brings together academic, educational and human service sectors to pose questions and find answers within a range of topics. They build bridges between research and practice to ensure that child- and youth-serving professionals are using research-informed practices and strategies. Investigating the effectiveness of programs used by schools, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations enables such organizations to improve their ability to make informed data-driven decisions. Children's institute uses an integrated set of evaluation services and predictive analytics tools for these purposes.
