Thriveology Elevated Daycare and Clinical Services - St. Albert, Alberta

My son attended occupational and speech therapy at Thriveology for about three years. I highly recommend them!
One of the reasons that I chose Thriveology to begin with was that I really identified with Nat's bio on their website where she quotes Maya Angelou, "people may forget what you said, they may forget what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel". And the reason that I kept coming back with my son for so long is because both Natalie and Lauren truly live this quote through their work. They made my son feel competent, creative, funny, and skilled. He loved being successful with the Thrive team! They are so good at finding the just right challenge for him. And they also made me as a parent feel capable and respected too. I have been a part of a lot of rehabilitation therapy with both my boys having additional needs and unfortunately this has not been my experience with the majority of therapists my family has interacted with.
So I just wanted to leave a glowing Google review. We will always remember how Thriveology made us feel!

After two years of our son having extremely challenging drop offs at another well known and highly promoted chain-based day care, we decided to make a change and move our son to Thriveology. We were incredibly impressed with the owners and saw an added layer of attention to detail and care in a center that was locally owned- where staff and owners all seemed to care for everyone within their community as though they were family.

A year and a half later- we are so happy we made the decision to join Thrive! Both our children thoroughly enjoy their time at Thriveology. We have been very impressed by all the educators we have had the pleasure of working with.
With the owners having backgrounds in Occupational and Speech Therapy, we appreciate how related activities are woven throughout the daycare, directly to the benefit of our kiddos. Additionally, our son sees Lauren and Nat on the clinic side for extra support - and we have seen exceptional progress in his confidence, levels of social anxiety, and emotional intelligence since working with them. It is also very convenient that they are able to take him out of daycare to work with him on the clinic side. I am routinely impressed by the level of care, individualization, and support they provide to families and children based on their specific and unique needs.

Thrive truly cares about our children, and our family unit- which I believe is a rare find in a daycare. They also foster a sense of community amongst families through events such as their recent summer BBQ.

Thank you to the entire team at Thrive for everything you do- we consider ourselves blessed to be part of your community.

My child has attended the daycare at Thrive for just under a year and my partner and I are beyond thankful we found it. The staff are incredible, they connected immediately with our child and we trust them implicitly. We have been to other daycares in the past and this one is different, the communication with facilitators throughout the day is top-notch and they organize awesome activities for the kids. They can handle tough drop-offs and have been very flexible for our specific needs. Absolutely recommend.

I couldn't be happier my son attends this daycare. Everyone is loving and kind, he is genuinely excited to go to "school" everyday and see his friends. The staff make special effort to broaden his experiences in activities, food, wellness etc. They probably parent better than I could at this point!

I cannot say enough good things about this daycare.

Lauren and Natalie provide an amazing environment for kids of all types to grow, learn, and play. They owners are experienced, intelligent, caring, and most importantly they LOVE all of the kids, you can really feel it. It is like I am dropping off our daughter with family.

The staff are great. Natalie and Lauren have a good eye for hiring. We are always well updated on how our daughter is doing, and we love receiving daily photos of her having a great time. She has a great bond with so many of them, and its so nice to see her run and give them hugs when she gets dropped off.

The daycare has large rooms, an attached outdoor playground, and an awesome sensory room. The kids go on lots of fun fieldtrips throughout the year and have tons of outdoor walks and adventures.

We have been using their SLP/OT services on a biweekly basis, and they have helped our daughter a lot. Lots of great tips and ideas that we use to help with her developmental delays. They always setup the room in a new and fun way, and our daughter loves going.

Our daughter saw the lovely ladies at Thriveology for quite a while. We did individual speech and occupational therapy sessions and attended a community speech program. We are thrilled with the progress our daughter made! They made sure each session was fun and engaging. Not only did they help our daughter they also gave us the tools to continue developing her speech and language skills ourselves. We highly recommend Thriveology and are SO grateful they were recommended to us.

Lauren and Natalie are so wonderful. My little girl is always excited to have a session with them. They are so kind and sweet to my girl.

They also educate parents on how to continue teaching kids at home with their speech.

I have nothing but great experience with them. They are very patient and knowledgeable.

Our son has been attending Thrivology for speech and OT services for some time now. The team always makes learning fun and put a lot of effort into their sessions. They are also very understanding and accommodating when there is a change of plans and we need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Our son really enjoys going to his sessions and we are always seeing growth and improvement in his speech and skills. I would definitely recommend Thrivology to anyone. They are so friendly and you can tell that they care greatly for their clients and their development.
