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!

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.
