1911

Founded in 1911 by Arnold Gesell, M.D., Ph.D. as the Yale Clinic of Child Development, the Yale Child Study Center was initially located in a room in the New Haven Dispensary. During Gesell’s 37 years at Yale, the clinic grew in size and productivity, and moved into a larger building on South Frontage Road.
