Child Saving Institute

For generations, Child Saving Institute and Children’s Square have served children and families across Nebraska and Iowa. With roots dating back to the 19th century, both pioneered childcare, mental health services and family support—evolving into comprehensive human service agencies.

In 2025, two historic organizations united. Today, as Child Saving Institute, the shared mission remains: to champion what’s best for each child and family—offering safety, healing and opportunity for every child—with heart and humanity.
