Our Curriculum

An unhurried, evidence-based approach to early learning.

Strive's program draws from two of the most respected philosophies in early childhood education — woven together by educators who genuinely know your child.

The environment as the third teacher

Beautiful, considered spaces filled with natural materials that invite discovery. Children lead. Educators listen, document and extend.
