Missional - We want children and their families to fall in love with Jesus by seeing and experiencing His love and truth, thereby awakening in them a desire to know Him.
Church Driven - We believe that community outreach should operate in partnership with (not independent of) the local church fellowship, resulting in families knowing the local church as a safe, caring and relevant place.
Mentorship - We believe in guiding children as they learn to navigate life by having the highest possible staff ratios, allowing staff to build supportive relationships rather than being in a strictly supervisory role.
Godly Character Development - We believe that Jesus is the example of character for children, that His character is developed in them by feeling true acceptance, and also through the modeling and teaching of others, but ultimately through the outworking of the Holy Spirit.
Engaging Kids in Social Responsibility – We believe children should be aware of the world around them, learn how to further social good beyond themselves and engage in selfless actions for the common good.
Mixed Age Programming – We believe that groups containing different ages lead to greater development of empathy, leadership and maturity and therefore make every effort to ensure that different ages and stages are interacting daily.
Physical Activity – We believe regular daily physical activity is a vital part of a healthy child’s life.
Exploration – We believe that by exploring and pushing healthy boundaries children develop creativity, problem-solving and healthy risk management. Exploration is encouraged in both natural and spiritual contexts.
Daily Interaction with Nature - We believe children are happier, healthier and more spiritually aware when they have regular interaction with nature. Thrive aims to help kids develop a love and care for God’s creation.
Creativity & Problem Solving – We believe that children need to practice creativity and problem-solving on a regular basis, helping them to become innovative overcomers for life. Thrive children regularly engage in creative, imaginative and problem-solving activities.
Teamwork & Leadership Development - We believe that teamwork and leadership are necessary skills for success in life. Opportunities to grow these skills are vital to the full development of children and are an integral part of Thrive programming.
Competency & Life Skills Development – We believe children need to be challenged to build skill sets and make measurable accomplishments that they can look at with pride and confidence.

- We believe in the external existence of one God, existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ, begotten by the Holy Spirit, came to earth as Son of God and Savior, being wholly God and truly man.
- We believe the Bible’s Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, and are of supreme and final authority in faith and life, when correctly interpreted.
- We believe that all people were created in the image of God and therefore have inherent value regardless of race, religion, etc. As a result, He accepts everyone with love and expects His church to do the same.
- We believe that through humankind's will, sin entered the world, resulting in separation from God, and that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.We believe that through receiving Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, our relationship with God is eternally restored. This is a process of grace and not of works, nor of religious format/actions.
- We believe in salvation as a journey and a developing relationship, and that restored relationship with God is shown by His character being developed in us through the power of the Holy Spirit.We believe that Christian leaders should be actively pursuing living out the character of Jesus.
- We believe in the creation of the world through intelligent design by God (simply: In the beginning, God) and that God set humans as stewards of that creation.We believe that the example of Jesus prioritizing children should be followed by His church and that it is our duty to see children as a priority in ministry.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit’s power is demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishment of Christ’s last commandment, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation”.
Thrive Kids Canada is not a standalone church, but rather an interdenominational partner of outreach with Christian gospel-oriented churches. Therefore, Thrive does not support the teaching of denominationally diverse lifestyles and doctrines with its child care program hours
