Spring is upon us, and with it comes a whirlwind of activity at our organization! As we put the finishing touches on our preparations for the highly anticipated Champions Gala taking place May 10, excitement fills the air. Simultaneously, our Early Learning Center is excited as we welcomed representatives from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) for our accreditation evaluation. In the spirit of innovation and education, we recently hosted Credera for an engaging STEM exercise at Child Thrive, fostering curiosity and critical thinking among our young learners. Additionally, we are thrilled to announce a new partnership forged by our International team, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Kenya, further expanding our global reach and impact. There’s no shortage of enthusiasm and progress as we embrace the opportunities this season brings and look forward to what’s ahead.

Partnerships
Our partners at Credera joined us for a Child Thrive “Friday Hangouts” session, it was a blast!
The Credera team put together an engineering/sound STEM project for our Thrivers to enjoy. Our students had a chance to build craft stick harmonicas. These little magical wooden instruments packed a sound punch! Everyone enjoyed connecting with each other and making music together!
A BIG thank you to our partners at Credera for such a fun experience for our Thrivers and a special thanks to Althea Muth for leading this event.
We look forward to our next experience together.
Painting with Purpose
A huge shoutout to WGIRLS for hosting the amazing Paint & Sip event! Fun-filled moments were painted with joy as everyone sipped and crafted their own Chicago Bean masterpieces. We’re immensely grateful for WGIRLS’ support of our kids, and eagerly anticipate more delightful events in the future!
