The mission

What this organization describes

Leaders in early learning

Think Small's mission is to advance quality care and education of children in their crucial early years. We remain as dedicated to our mission now as we have always been-and to the principles that gave rise to our organization in 1971: That the quality of a child's early experiences greatly influences his or her success later in life. That there is much that can be done to improve the quality of early childhood settings to optimize a child's development.
