K . ids Thrive is dedicated to supporting children ages 3–12 with mental health diagnoses through full and half-day . therapeutic programming. Operating since 2023, our approach focuses on improving behaviors and enhancing functioning across home, school, and community environments. Early childhood is a critical period for developing social skills, yet many children we serve have faced exclusion from childcare centers, preschools, and community activities. At Kids Thrive, we provide a safe, structured setting that mirrors a typical classroom, helping children practice essential skills like following directions, taking turns, and asking for help—key foundations for success in school and beyond. Our mission, Helping Families Thrive, is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic models that support children’s growth and resilience. These approaches strengthen each child’s ability to succeed in group settings while developing essential individual skills. Every child’s care plan includes intentional skill-building and therapy sessions with licensed professionals; all tailored to the goals identified by their families. Family involvement is central to our work. Through family therapy and parent coaching, caregivers learn practical strategies to manage challenging behaviors and reduce stress at home. Together, we create a pathway for children to grow, learn, and thrive in their communities. Visit is at www.kidsthrivebh.com or call (513) 740-1001.
