Small Talk

Small Talk is a project of Let’s Grow Kids that hit the road in 2015 in a specially outfitted van to interview parents, child care providers, community members and others concerned about giving Vermont’s children the best start in life during the crucial first five years.

Here is our archive of Small Talk stories. Please support our efforts to build awareness about Vermont's child care challenges by sharing these videos with your friends, family and neighbors. Check back here often for new releases. To learn more, click here http://www.letsgrowkids.org/small-talk.

Small Talk is a partnership with Building Bright Futures, Vermont Community Access Media and the Vermont Folklife Center.

Let’s Grow Kids is a statewide public awareness campaign that aims to raise understanding of the importance of the earliest years in the lives of Vermont’s children. Let’s Grow Kids works with Vermont communities, organizations, businesses and individuals to create positive, lasting change that will allow all of our children to succeed in life. Along with its sister organization, Vermont Birth to Five, Let’s Grow Kids is an initiative of the Permanent Fund for Vermont’s Children with additional support from the A.D. Henderson Foundation and the Turrell Fund.
