Reviews
Katie is the absolute best. Our first child started there not long after she started and now we have our second child there as well and wouldn’t change it for anything!
Katie McLain with Thrive Early Childhood has been exceptional from day one and Wonderschool has added to her capabilities!
Best childcare experiences I’ve ever had! We love Thrive!
Katie at Thrive Early Childhood is by far hands down the best daycare provider/person we found and absolutely love having our son going there. It’s awesome when he wants to go there in the mornings and doesn’t wine because he loves going there and loves Katie!
We love Katie and everything she does for our daughter.
Philosophy
Play is the work of children. It is an important part of childhood development.
