Profile:

Gesell Institute of Child Development is an independent non-profit organization associated with how children grow and learn since 1950.  The work of Arnold Gesell, PhD, MD (1888-1961), founding Director of the Yale Child Study Center in 1911 and the Institute’s namesake, has had a profound influence on the field of child development.  Based on Dr. Gesell’s pioneering work documenting infant and child growth and development, Gesell Institute’s programs and publications help parents and educators understand the ages and stages of childhood.  Professional development and parent workshops cover a broad range of topics regarding child behavior, healthy growth and development, and positive learning outcomes.
