Our
Story
Where it all Began
In 2015 Youth Institute began as a feeding program to children in the Little Rock metro-area. We started with about 100 students. In the following year, it evolved into an after school and tutoring program. Now we are a fully licensed daycare, preschool and summer school. We service students from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Youth Institute is supported by schools and businesses in the area. We also provide full service of PT, SPEECH, and OT therapies. We have come a long way and can't wait to see how much farther we will venture.

I have worked in childcare for over 15 years. It has been amazing to now teach my former students children. In my classroom it's a main goal of mine to ensure my students gain skills that they will always use.

I am a firm believer, that it takes a village to raise a child. I am happy to be a part of said village. I help the students with homework, social skills, and positive classmate interactions.
