Mission and Respect
Mission Statement
The mission of Thrive Enrichment is to provide a safe and supportive community for children and families to engage in enriching experiences that promote personal growth, creativity and imagination. We encourage learning through exploration and play while creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime.
Thrive offers enrichment classes and is not a school nor childcare.
Respect and Discipline
Thrive and Camp Wild Heart participants are expected to uphold a high standard of respect and kindness. The value of having each others consent in play is discussed daily. "Did Joe say it was ok to paint on his paper?" "It doesn't look like Sam likes it when you pull his arm. Let's try talking to him to see if he wants to play with you."
Children are allowed freedom in so far as they do not impede on each other's freedoms and are respectful of our indoor and outdoor environments and personal safety, including their own.
Participants who are disrespectful, dangerous, aggressive, unkind, destroy supplies or spaces, or in other ways impede on the freedoms of others may be asked to discontinue attendance. Usually, this starts with warnings and discussions. In most cases, the children love attending Thrive so much that they are quick to change their behavior so they may continue to be here. In some cases, a short or long break from Thrive is instituted.
In rare cases, including violence, families may be told their children can no longer attend at the first offense. All decisions are made by Thrive administration, there is no official board procedures. Thrive administration upholds the right to make decisions regarding suspensions and expulsions.
