Programs & Activities
Program 1
$8.5MPreparing Providers:In an effort to continuously improve the quality of early care and education that children receive, Think Small provided professional development opportunities and coaching to educators in early care and education. In 2024, nearly 18,000 educators enrolled in professional development courses. Additionally, Think Small Institute added 15 new courses and delivered workshops at national conferences to over 200 people. We also created more holistic programs for educators that combined Think Small Institute trainings and Redleaf Press materials.
Program 2
$635KCatalyzing ChangeThink Small worked to improve access to child care in Minnesota. We led collaborative advocacy efforts in support of legislation in Minnesota, which would ensure that no family pays more than 7% of their income on child care. Similarly, we worked to extend previously passed legislation that mandated evidence-based literacy in public schools, to early childhood programs.
