2015-16 ANNUAL REPORT

TRANSFORMING THE LIVES
OF EVEN MORE CHILDREN
Grow - verb \'grō\: to become larger; to increase in size; to become better or improved
Dear Friends,
As defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, The Children’s Home fits that definition. During the past 12 months, we
have grown in size and quality, and we are confident we will continue to grow in the years to come. In this year’s Annual
Report, you will read about our new initiatives, service expansion and accomplishments.
You will see how we have served more than 7,800 children and families, and you will gain a deeper picture of some of the
children with whom we have worked. You will experience the transformation of James, Grayson, Kayla and Soroya’s lives.
And you will come to appreciate that each child’s potential can be realized if given the specialized support The Children’s
Home provides.

You will see our commitment to quality in the stories we’ve shared and in the fact that 95 percent of our parents would
recommend our services to others. You will understand how we have differentiated ourselves through the growth in our
autism, early childhood day treatment, nutrition and health care programs. And you will meet three staff members who represent
the skills, talents and dedication of our 320 (and growing!) employees.
We are understandably proud of our children, our services and our staff. But we also know we couldn’t do it without you
– our donors, volunteers and other supporters. On behalf of the children we serve, thank you for your continuing support.
Sincerely,

For more than 150 years, The Children’s Home of Cincinnati
has transformed the lives of vulnerable children, helping to
launch them on successful life journeys.
OUR PROGRAMS REACH
THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN
Our treatment and education programs
help more than 7,800 children
overcome their social, behavioral and
learning challenges. We provide those
programs to children who live in 177
neighborhoods and communities
across Greater Cincinnati, improving
the lives and futures of the children,
their families and communities.
Although our Madisonville campus
is the hub of our organization, our
services also are offered at schools
and health centers and in children’s
homes. Our private, nonprofit
organization is no longer a home for
children in the literal sense, but a
home for a variety of services that
help children develop skills and build
confidence.
These are some of our programs:
K-12 School
For students with behavioral and learning
challenges
Counseling for Children
Behavioral treatment in schools, homes
and on our campus
Integrated Health Care Services
Combines physical and behavioral care
Early Childhood Day Treatment
For children ages 3-8

OUR IMPACT
IS BROAD
This map shows the locations of 173
schools across Greater Cincinnati where
The Children’s Home provided behavioral
health services in the last year.
A
program that treats young children
with severe behavior and
emotional problems is among
the fastest-growing programs at The
Children’s Home.
The Early Childhood Day Treatment
program provides therapy in small
groups to children who have inappropriate
behavior in their homes, schools
and community settings. The goal: to
help them progress so much that they
no longer need our services.
If they can be treated early enough,
more severe problems can be avoided
as they grow older, such as involvement
with the juvenile justice system.
“Intervening early is the key,” said
Stacey Cornett, senior director of our
campus-based services. “That translates
into better outcomes for these
kids.”
The effectiveness of the half-day
program – for children 3 to 8 years old
– has been rising. Three years ago, 71
percent of the students could return to
their regular environment. In the last
year, 90 percent have returned. “That
means we’ve been able to help a greater
percentage of children meet their full
potential,” Cornett said.
A key to the program’s success is
that the staff has been increasingly
reaching out to the children’s families
and schools, helping the families and
schools to provide consistency in the
way the children are taught to manage
their emotions and behavior.
To meet the demand for the program,
two more classrooms have been built
for the program – the fifth and sixth
classrooms – allowing us to serve up
to 32 more children. The program now
has space for 96 kids.
The program has been so successful
that we’ve created a related full-day
program at the request of the Cincinnati
Public Schools. The Integrated Therapeutic
Classroom program provides
therapy as well as the added component
of education in group settings for
children 5 to 8 years old.

Amanda Tipkemper, manager of autism
services, celebrating with 2016 graduates
of our Autism High School, William,
Grayson, Laura and Micah.
WITH STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT,
OUR AUTISM SCHOOL GROWS
“For the families,
the most powerful
thing is seeing
their kids
being part of a
community.’’
— Amanda Tipkemper, autism services
manager, The Children’s Home
The story of The Children’s Home
High School for Students with
Autism and Related Disorders is
simple: Our students have made great
progress, causing our enrollment to
soar.
To handle the demand, The Children’s
Home is planning to acquire a
location near our Madisonville campus,
allowing us to consolidate into one
location the three campus spaces we
now use for the autism school.
“The transformation we’re seeing
in our students with autism is remarkable,”
said John Banchy, president and
CEO of The Children’s Home. “With
our expansion, more teens will be able
to receive our services, reaching goals
they never thought attainable.”
When they arrived at The Children’s
Home, many of our students with
autism had modest goals of living with
their parents after graduation. But
here, they learn social skills, life skills
and more in an academic setting, giving
them the confidence to live on their
own.
“They can actually see a future that
isn’t dependent on other people,” said
Amanda Tipkemper, autism services
manager for The Children’s Home.
“Even their parents can imagine that
same future. That’s huge.”
Our newest programs for autism
include:
• Transitional services — helping
young adults to bridge the years
from high school to adulthood with
classroom instruction, hands-on
learning and community outings.
No one else in Greater Cincinnati
is providing such a service now.
• Ready 2 Work! — A 10-week paid
summer internship program, providing
hands-on job experience.
Interns are trained and supervised
by one-on-one job coaches.
After being launched in 2011, the
school is now serving more than 50
students. It’s growing because families
are hearing about the transformation
our students are making. Initially, some
students don’t want to be involved in
their Individualized Education Program
meetings, designed to customize their
educations. By the time they leave,
many are leading the sessions.
Grayson Has Made Great Strides
Before he came to The Children’s
Home, autism had made it difficult
for Grayson to succeed in a
typical high school.
“I struggled a lot with making friends.
I’d be sitting alone at lunch. . .No one
would want to sit next to me on the
bus. Everyone would pretty much
avoid me at all costs. The most difficult
part was the bullying. I was frequently
teased, pushed around a lot, made fun
of. . .I didn’t fit in much so I came to
The Children’s Home.
The first day I came, it was really
nice. People were generous, kind and
accepting. I liked how people would
just come up to me and say hi and
introduce themselves. I felt like I really
fit in. It’s very enjoyable to have people
that know how you feel and then they
can adjust you to your surroundings.
Throughout my experience here,
I’ve gotten to learn how to
maintain a job, how to go
through interviews, how to
manage a budget, work with
money. . . I love that I have these
new skills.
I got to meet a young
man named Antonio.
He became one of my
best friends here.
Our students also are making
friends — some for the first time. In a
typical high school, many of them feel
isolated. “For the families,” Tipkemper
said, “the most powerful thing is seeing
their kids being part of a community.’’
And over time, I’ve gotten to meet his
friends and they were really accepting
as well. . . I would say this has been
a life-changing experience. I feel like
The Children’s Home High School has
helped me a lot in many ways.”
In May 2016, Grayson, now 18,
graduated from The Children’s
Home High School for
Students with Autism and
Related Disorders. Since then,
he’s moved back to Loveland
High School to take courses to
prepare him for college. He
attributes his success to
The Children’s Home.

"We're planting the seeds for good nutrition"
— Lauren Lancaster, director of the Nutrition Council at The Children’s Home
Lauren, a student in the Ready
Set Work! program, sells produce
at The Children’s Home farm
stand under the guidance of Mary
Nyktas (standing), who works for
the Nutrition Council.
to integrate behavioral and physical
health care.
Now, partnerships have been formed
between programs of The Children’s
Home and Nutrition Council, including:
• Ready Set Work!: Students at the
High School for Students with
Autism and Related Disorders
have raised vegetables and fruit in
the campus garden, selling it at a
farm stand, all under the Council’s
guidance. The program has given
students exposure to the work
world as well as the opportunity to
assess their skills and get specialized
training.
• Wellness Wednesday: Students
at the Lower School have tasted
a different fresh fruit or vegetable
every week. Some had never tasted
fresh produce before.
• Nutrition counseling: In a program
that will be tested at the new
Levine Family Health Center on the
Madisonville campus, the Council
plans to provide nutrition counseling
to children who are overweight,
obese or suffering from
nutrition-related health conditions.
Then, if it’s successful, the plan is
to expand it to other school-based
health centers across Cincinnati.
Said Lancaster, “We’re planting the
seeds for good nutrition.”

picked from the garden at The Children’s Home.
A RECIPE FOR GROWTH:
COMBINE TWO NONPROFITS, MIX AND SAVOR THE OUTCOME
Nutrition Council
Becomes Part of
The Children’s Home
What happens when you take
a 152-year-old children’s
organization, add a small
nonprofit and stir thoroughly? You get
a program to promote healthy eating
that’s able to serve more children in
even more ways.
That’s what happened when The
Children’s Home acquired the Nutrition
Council. Until this year, the 42-year-old
Council had been independent. But
both nonprofits recognized that the
Council would be stronger as part of
The Children’s Home.
A year later, the Council has achieved
more than what Lauren Lancaster, its
director, believed it could accomplish
by now, thanks to the backing of The
Children’s Home. “Combining our
efforts has substantially expanded our
capacity to provide nutritional education
and advocacy to the community.”
For the first time, the Council has a
teaching kitchen, created by renovating
space in the Emery Building on The
Children’s Home Madisonville campus.
It has a stove, oven, sink, refrigerator,
tables, chairs and more. Campers from
Camp-I-Can, the summer day camp of
The Children’s Home, have been introduced
to nutrition education there.
And new mothers have been able to
improve their cooking skills there in a
series called “Lunch and Learn,” offered
through Every Child Succeeds.
Overall, the Council educates children
and their families about healthy
eating, providing the knowledge, skills
and motivation that people need to
make healthy food choices. Among its
outside partners are early childhood
programs, schools, businesses, churches
and other community organizations,
helping it reach some of the region’s
most vulnerable children.
The acquisition of the Council was
natural for The Children’s Home, a continuation
of an effort started in 2011
Therapy Has Made a Difference
For Mother and Daughter
The Children’s Home is treating parents now too.
Life is better for Kayla and her
mother, Ashley, since they started
getting counseling at The Children’s
Home.
Previously, Kayla had been crying
every day after school. Bullying and
worrying about tests had taken a toll
on her.
Her mother had emotional ups and
downs, including angry outbursts. She
also had problems with self-confidence.
Their symptoms were affecting each
other and affecting their relationship.
In a program launched in 2014 called
Counseling for Caregivers, The Children’s
Home has provided care to both,
extending our counseling services to
some of the parents of the children we
treat. It makes sense to treat caregivers
because a parent’s well-being can have
Ashley (left) and Kayla
such a big effect on a child.
With her therapist’s help, Kayla
learned coping skills for anxiety and
dealing with bullies. She now knows
how to express herself without being
mean back to them. “My grades have
been going up a lot because I have not
been getting as anxious and as worried
on tests and on little quizzes,” she said.
“My friends have even said they’ve
noticed a difference in me, a good
difference.”
After receiving counseling from a
therapist for adults, her mother now
has more control of her emotions and
greater self-confidence too.
And our Counseling for Caregivers
program – aimed at promoting family
healing — is growing. More than 90
parents and other caregivers are receiving
counseling.
“Amazing stories are abounding,” said
Debbie Gingrich, director of behavioral
health for The Children’s Home.
“Reports of increased child success —
coupled with caregiver success — let
us know we are on the right track to
addressing a gap in our services.”

FINANCIALLY STRONGER
Revenue and Expenses Increased; Employee Turnover Decreased
Revenue of The Children’s Home increased in fiscal 2016 by nearly 9 percent as we served more children in more ways than
ever before. Leading the way were our behavioral health and education programs, which grew by a combined $1.3 million.
We also initiated an effort to reduce employee turnover while enhancing employee recruitment. After an extensive compensation
market analysis, we increased the salary range and retirement benefits for key positions, increasing our expenses by more
than $1.3 million. It worked: Turnover decreased by more than 25 percent.
We also continued to invest in our facilities and equipment, spending $1.6 million, which included more space for our Early
Childhood Day Treatment program and Autism High School, creation of the Levine Family Health Center and more.

New Levine Family
Health Center Makes It
Easier for Children to
Receive Care
The Children’s Home has taken
another major step in caring for
children: We’ve opened a health
care center on our Madisonville Campus,
combining behavioral and physical
health care in one location.
For years, we’ve been known for our
behavioral health care. But with research
showing the strong relationship
between mental and physical health
problems, The Children’s Home decided
in 2011 to take steps to integrate our
care. The Levine Family Health Center
is a continuation of that effort.
“Families are excited about the
convenience of the Health Center,” said
Barbara Terry, The Children’s Home
chief operating officer. “And we’re
excited too because we’ve been able
to remove logistical barriers to medical
care. The net result – the health of our
children is improving.”
Busy lives, transportation problems
and the challenges in navigating complex
health-care systems have prevented
many families from obtaining adequate
medical care for their children.
But now, they’re receiving medical care
when they’re at The Children’s Home
for other services.
Neighborhood children and students
at several nearby schools also are using
the Health Center. No one is being
turned away.
The Health Center, which has four
full exam rooms and a lab, is located in
our 5051 Building on the Duck Creek
Road side of our campus. The Cincinnati
Health Department is staffing it with
a nurse practitioner, registered nurse
and medical assistant. A physician is
making regular visits.
We’re projecting that the Health
Center will have more than 1,000 visits
in its first year.
The major donors who helped to pay for the Levine Family Health Center’s renovations
and medical equipment include the Edward L. Levine Family Foundation, Interact for
Health and the Heidt Family Foundation.

We Honored Stellar
Employees For Their
Dedication to Children
The Children’s Home presented its annual
Presidential Awards to three employees
who provided exemplary service. Here are
excerpts from the nominations, written by
fellow employees:
Melanie Murphy, a partial
hospitalization therapist, has “excellent
clinical skills and a natural ability to
connect with children. Her
level of commitment and
unwavering passion for
enhancing children’s lives
is evident. She often is
the first person at work
each day and the last person
to leave. She has provided support to
children outside of work hours, including
weekends. Again and again, she has made
accurate clinical decisions during crises,
resulting in a child avoiding serious injury
to himself or others.”
New leaders of The Children's Home are John Banchy (center), president and CEO, and Lawrence A. Glassman (right), board chair. Michael Coombe became past chair.
A LEGACY OF STRONG
LEADERSHIP CONTINUES
For 152 years, The Children’s Home has been known for its leadership.
Now, that strong leadership is continuing but with some new faces.
Lawrence A. Glassmann, who has served on the
board of trustees for five years, is the new board chair.
Glassmann, of Indian Hill, owns The Glassmann Law Firm,
devoted solely to resolving legal disputes. Previously, he
pursued a varied legal career as in-house and outside counsel,
including serving as vice president of Aventis Pharmaceuticals
and the senior vice president and general counsel
of Duramed Pharmaceuticals.
John Banchy became president and chief executive officer
of The Children’s Home after serving as chief operating
officer. Before joining The Children’s Home, Banchy had
been area director of an eight-state region for a national
nonprofit and served in leadership roles for a Fortune 100
company.
Banchy has restructured the leadership team with the goal
of efficiently managing growth and providing strong support
for employees:
Barbara Terry became chief operating officer. She joined The
Children’s Home in 2013 as vice president of health care integration.
Joe Carolin became chief financial officer. He previously served
as finance director for The Children’s Home, joining the staff in
2012.
Roderick Hinton became vice president of advancement and
community engagement. He spent 20 years on the staff of St.
Xavier High School, most recently as assistant vice president for
enrollment management and strategic initiatives.
Amy Avera became vice president of human services. She has
more than 25 years of experience in human resources, including
with The Business Backer, a financial services company in Blue Ash,
and MedPlus, Inc., a software development company in Mason.

Ronda Gadd, an autism behavior
support specialist, is “a jack of all trades,
especially when it comes
to her tremendous skill
in the application of the
Teaching-Family Model
(the approach used by
The Children’s Home to
care for children). She is
relied on for her expertise, and is focused
on implementing individualized, effective
interventions. She is constantly challenging
our team to be proactive, rather than
reactive, and to consider all of the variables
that impact the performance of our
students. She demonstrates flexibility,
creativity, resourcefulness, energy, adaptability,
the ability to think on her feet and,
the most important quality, a commitment
to teamwork.”
Rick Reinhart, a maintenance
supervisor, “is one of the nicest and most
helpful people I have met
at The Children's Home.
He is always happy to
help out with anything
that comes up, whether
it's a simple maintenance
issue, much appreciated
ride across campus in a golf cart or anything
that we need to carry out our work
for our clients. He makes me smile when
I see him, even if it’s just a wave across
campus or when he’s chasing us out of the
building during a fire drill. His compassion
and commitment to excellence ensures
that The Children's Home is a safe and
welcoming environment for clients, families,
visitors and staff.”

Soroya holds her son, Gabriel. They are joined by her older
son, Micah, and Lora Kurtz, family education support specialist
with Every Child Succeeds, who provided services to
Soroya when Micah was a baby.
Soroya Achieved
Her Dream
As a teen-age mother in high school, Soroya
could have been overwhelmed trying to care
for her infant son.
But she wasn’t alone. She had a home
visitor, Lora Kurtz, from The Children’s Home,
who gave her tips for raising Micah and
provided other support and encouragement.
Every time she’d see Lora drive up, she’d get
excited. “It would just pick me up.”
That was more
than a decade ago.
Soroya, now 30, has
a master’s degree.
She is married with
three children. And
Micah is an Honor
Roll student.
“You made me a
more confident,
competent
parent.”
Even more
amazing, thanks to
Lora’s positive influence, Soroya has achieved
her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher,
which means Soroya is helping to provide the
best possible start for other children too.
The Children’s Home provided Lora’s visits
through its Every Child Succeeds program. The
program offers home visits for first-time atrisk
mothers, helping them create a nurturing,
healthy environment for their children. The
Children’s Home has the largest Every Child
Succeeds program in Hamilton County, serving
more than 1,800 families since becoming an
Every Child Succeeds partner.
Soroya hasn’t forgotten the role Lora, a
family education support specialist, and The
Children’s Home played. “You made me a more
confident, competent parent,” she told Lora recently.
“The lessons I learned with Every Child
Succeeds, I’ve used with all my children.”

“My mom told me I need to keep up
the good work at school.”
James Has
Become A
Leader
By the time 2016 had arrived, James had become a
leader among his peers, earning awards for his behavior.
It was a remarkable transformation. When he arrived
at The Children’s Home two years earlier, James was
known for physically and verbally lashing out at staff
and other students. He would leave the classroom for
long periods of time, refusing to comply with directions.
“When I started getting in trouble, I started
realizing I had to stop doing this,” he said.
Teachers used various approaches
to help him control his anger, including
sports and walks. He built positive
relationships with staff, which led to his
willingness to learn and practice appropriate
behaviors. He has been able to handle
his anger in an appropriate manner and
maintain good grades.
Now, his mother is proud of him again.
“My mom told me I need to keep up the
good work at school and doing what I’ve
been doing.”
