Think Small

At Think Small, we believe that every child deserves a strong start in life.  

Think Small’s mission is to advance quality care and education of children in their crucial early years.

We focus on increasing access and quality in early learning environments, especially for children from communities of color and economically challenged families. For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to building a more effective early childhood learning system within Minnesota and advocating for regional and national excellence in quality care and education. Our programs are designed to empower families, increase the quality of child care, and close opportunity gaps for underserved populations. Examples include:

1. ParentPowered Texts, a free texting program for caregivers with activities to support their children's development
2. Think Small Institute, a nationally-recognized online hub for high-quality professional development trainings
3. Debra S. Fish Early Childhood Resource Library, a branch of the St. Paul Library system with all things early childhood
4. Early Learning Scholarships, a state-funded program to help families cover the cost of child care

This year, we invite you to join us in our mission through the Give to the Max campaign. Your generous donations will directly support our efforts to ensure high-quality early childhood education and care to those who need it most. 

By contributing to Think Small, you are helping us champion early learning for every child, ensuring that all children are ready for kindergarten and have the tools they need to succeed in life. 

Together, we can make a big impact by thinking small and acting big. Visit https://www.thinksmall.org/donate to support this work today.
