Too Small to Fail is proud to once again partner with the LaundryCares Foundation and Laundry Literacy Coalition to host our 4th Annual Summit, Reimagining Together: Learning in Everyday Spaces. The Summit will highlight how everyday spaces in communities—from local laundromats to pediatric clinics, parks, and grocery stores—can be reimagined and redesigned to support early learning and foster positive relationships between children and their caregivers.
