Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in Tulsa with local
billionaire philanthropist George Kaiser on Monday to announce the
kickoff of the "Talking is Teaching" campaign, a partnership with the
Too Small to Fail Initiative aimed at helping parents and caregivers of
children ages birth to 5 prepare for success.
The
partnership is a communitywide effort by the George Kaiser Family
Foundation, CAP Tulsa, Tulsa Educare and Too Small to Fail — a joint
initiative of Next Generation and the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton
Foundation — to empower parents and caregivers to boost the brain
development and vocabularies of young children by increasing the number
of words they hear spoken to them each day.
The announcement will take place at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Educare No. 2, 3420 N. Peoria Ave. It is not open to the public.
