No Small Matter: first feature film to explore Early Childhood Education

No Small Matter is built from stories of real children, families, and teachers, illustrating the impact of high-quality early childhood experiences. We meet parents who are struggling to do their best for their kids, incredible teachers who model what early childhood classrooms should and could be like, and children learning and developing in real time. These positive, hopeful stories serve as motivational tools in both the film and the ​No Small Matter campaign: Change is necessary, critical, and attainable if we put our minds to it.
