Think Small

Think Small’s mission is to advance quality care and education of children in their crucial early years. This mission statement describes our purpose and answers the fundamental question “Why does Think Small exist?” To achieve this mission, Think Small must embrace a continuous improvement process in which we seek to answer the question: “How do we advance quality care and education of children in their crucial early years?”


Accumulating evidence shows that access to quality early childhood experiences will result in positive outcomes for young children, both in regards to kindergarten readiness and lifelong success. There is a robust set of research findings, both locally and nationally, supporting this conclusion. Minnesota currently utilizes Parent Aware, the state’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), to measure quality early childhood experiences. As a QRIS, Parent Aware is unique in that it is developed and implemented through the lens of kindergarten readiness. For that reason we have adopted the population level result of “All children in Minnesota will be ready for Kindergarten”.
