Built on a Foundation of Caring
We believe that early learning experiences create a foundation that fosters children’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
Our inclusive environment welcomes all children and families while embracing their uniqueness and individuality.
Thrive Childcare and Early Learning Centre Curriculum Statement
Circle of Security
A secure attachment between child and caregiver is critical to a child’s current and future well-being. ECE staff help children feel safe so that children can get on with the “business” of playing!
Play
We believe in the positive effects of outdoor play on children’s development. Children are provided enough time, physical space and offer engaging materials which to explore.
Partnerships
We develop supportive relationships with caregivers, other agencies and community members. We provide education and support to parents, volunteers and those interested in working in the profession of early childhood education.
Inclusion
Our educators meet the needs of each child and will adapt our program to meet those individual needs. Thrive ECE work with parents and other professionals to share information about the child and develop strategies to support development.
Abecedarian Approach
Thrive staff use conversational reading, enriched caregiving, language priority and learning games to improve children’s early development and increase positive outcomes for their children in our care.
Choices
We trust that children build competence when given choices whenever possible. Thrive staff follow the division of responsibility in feeding, allowing children to make choices from nutritious foods provided.
Inclusive Child Care
Thrive Childcare and Early Learning Centre supports the full inclusion of children who require additional support due to physical, cognitive, social, or emotional needs.
Child Care Subsidy
A Child Care Subsidy Program is available through Manitoba Education & Early Childhood. The government provides provincial support to eligible families to help with the cost of care by reducing child care fees for children from the ages of 12 weeks to 12 years.
Volunteer
Volunteers have a variety of attributes that can support our child care program. Consider if your skill set could fit!
