UA Little Rock Children International was established in 1994 as a partnership between the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Children International – a Kansas City based, nonprofit organization.
The aim for the partnership is to empower families to raise healthy, educated, self-reliant children. To achieve this, Children International partnered with five elementary schools in the Little Rock School District serving the neighborhoods of Central and Southwest Little Rock.
