Some kind words from our parents
We've used Thrive for years now and our kids love it! They love their teachers and my oldest has learned so much now having been in each classroom. Definitely recommend!

Our son, James, has been attending Thrive since January. We couldn't be happier with the staff, teachers and constant communication that they provide daily. Highly recommend!

I love it because there is a lot of safety for the children, they teach them how to respect other children, a lot of hygiene, and the teachers and assistants are very good, especially the director is very good and kind, also very attentive.

I am very grateful to have had this school as a starting role in her education beginnings. She started as a 3 month old and graduated Aug 24 at 5yrs old and loved every moment of it! The staff were always helpful and very active with the kids.

My daughter loves going to Thrive! The staff is extremely friendly and they have helped with my daughters development tremendously. They have fun activities they do with the children daily and I love getting the art they make when they send it home!
