On July 20, 2023, Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, paid a special visit to Napa County to highlight a transformative space that’s changing the lives of children and families who visit Napa County’s Health and Human Services, Self Sufficiency Services Division reception area.
Too Small to Fail (TSTF) promotes early brain and language development by supporting parents and caregivers with tools to talk, read, and sing with their young children starting at birth. One of TSTF’s key strategies is to meet parents where they are by transforming everyday "spaces" into playful, language-rich environments for children. TSTF partnered with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and pilot counties, Napa, San Joaquin, and Riverside, on a pilot to assess the impact of engaging California families in three county welfare department office lobbies where families spend time before appointments.
