Invest in Children is a community wide public/private partnership administered by the Cuyahoga County Office of Early Childhood. Compelled by a wide body of research demonstrating that the first five years of a child's life are a time of tremendous brain growth, and guided by the recognition that no single agency alone could accomplish the ambitious task of preparing young children for success in school and life, Cuyahoga County and key community leaders came together in 1999 to create the public/private partnership known as Invest in Children.
