What a start to the year! After a whirlwind holiday season, our programs hit the ground running. From launching Thrive’s spring programming and empowering KIPP One Academy middle schoolers with civic leadership opportunities to Early Learning Center workshops on goal setting and healthy habits, January was all about impact. Our foster care team secured successful adoptions and guardianships, earning well-deserved commendations, while the Place the Hope campaign raised over $260,000, creating life-changing opportunities for children worldwide.
Check out the highlights below.

Month in Review
Thrive has been preparing for the spring program this past month, which will begin on February 3rd. Thrive is excited to return to KIPP One Academy and will be offering new programming to our youth. Additionally, Thrive Friday will begin Friday, February 7th. Thrive is looking forward to the return of our Friday programming and is excited about all the STEM and art activities that Thrivers will do.
Child Thrive will partner with the Civic Leadership Foundation (CLF) to offer a new civic engagement and leadership development program to KIPP One Academy middle schoolers. CLF will be providing Child Thrive with curriculum, training, and coaching. CLF has been a long-time partner of CPA, and Child Thrive is thrilled to be working with them.

Month in Review
The ELC started the year strong with resources and events focused on New Year’s resolutions, goal setting, habit building, and financial literacy—helping participants make lasting, positive changes. January was especially busy with parent training, including sessions on financial literacy through the Center for Changing Lives, Grocery Shopping on a Budget, and Mental Health: Supporting with Routines & Transitions. These workshops gave families valuable tools to build healthy habits and financial stability in the new year.

- Ms. Darnisha, our dedicated Kitchen Coordinator! Since starting in the fall and becoming fully independent in December, she has worked nonstop to ensure our children receive nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and snacks—while carefully considering dietary needs and nutrition goals. We’re so grateful to have her on our team!
