Thrive Child Care and Family Resource Center

Thrive Child Care and Family Resource Center began caring for children in fall of 2018 to meet the needs of families in Rochester, Minnesota. We believe that everyone should live in a community where all children are prepared for school and success in life. Thrive also believes that supporting families is a key to the success of our community. Our program is grounded on 4 components of early childhood education; quality interactions, hands-on learning, an emphasis on social and emotional development and family partnerships. We believe that children need a safe, healthy and loving environment where they can learn by discovering life for themselves through hands-on experiences and purposeful play. Our staff engage in quality interactions with each child. They can be found participating in play, engaged in conversations and encouraging children’s skill development throughout each day. Social and emotional development is key to children’s future success in school and life. At Thrive, our program provides an emphasis on this component of development. We want our children to be able to make friends, regulate their emotions, develop empathy and be successful in building relationships with others. Our creative staff plan developmentally appropriate activities that allow children to grow and develop at their own pace. In our small groups, children develop to their fullest potential by interacting with well-trained staff who are able to give individual attention that makes learning enjoyable and fun. A mutually supportive partnership between families and the staff will be nurtured and maintained at Thrive. We are deeply committed to working with the whole family to provide them with a quality early childhood experience and meet each family’s unique needs. Thrive Child Care and Family Resource Center is dedicated to our mission of building community, one family at a time. We look forward to building our story alongside our families and children.

Thrive Child Care and Family Resource Center is a full day, non-profit child care program offering care for infants, toddlers and preschool aged children in Rochester.
