“Talk to Your Baby” Campaign Launch

Wednesday, April 1, 2015

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared with New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray at SCO/FirstStepNYC, a pre-kindergarten center in Brooklyn, New York. At the center, McCray and Clinton launched a program called “Talk to your Baby.” The initiative, partnered with the Clinton Foundation’s “Too Small to Fail” early childhood education program, is geared toward getting parents to talk to their children at a young age to help their development. Clinton’s appearance in Brooklyn raised eyebrows as she is expected to announce her candidacy for president in the coming weeks and headquarter in Brooklyn. Her appearance with McCray is also unsurprising as her and her husband, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, have been long supporters of Clinton.

During a roundtable discussion with parents, Clinton said, “You are literally building your baby’s brain to better prepare that little boy or little girl to do well in school and do well in life. So from every experience, your child will be learning words, developing a vocabulary, making it possible to better prepare that child for school.”

A video from this event will be posted when/if available.

Clinton Partners with Univision to Promote Early Childhood Education

February 4, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, officials from Univision, and local community leaders gathered in Harlem for a roundtable discussion about early childhood education and the issues facing Hispanic families. During the event, Clinton’s Too Small to Fail announced a partnership with Univision and Next Generation to ensure that children have the opportunities to develop their language skills early.

“We start with the recognition that too many children are behind by the time they get to school,” Clinton said. “Our Spanish language partnership will help Hispanic parents, grandparents and caregivers help to get their own children ready for school.”

The video above is from the Too Small to Fail initiative started by Clinton last summer. A video from the event will be posted when/if one is available.
