At Thrive Early Learning Center, we believe that every child is unique and deserves a nurturing environment that encourages exploration and growth. Based in the heart of Carmichael, our home-based early learning center is dedicated to providing a safe, loving and stimulating environment where children can thrive!
Our mission is to foster a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We provide care that supports each child's emotional, social, and cognitive development through engaging activites, creative play, and individualized attention.
I am Lauren Cronan, the founder and lead caregiver, with 17 years of experience in childhood education and a passion for nurturing young minds. I hold a Teaching Credential and Masters in Education, and I am committed to creating a home-like environment where children can feel comfortable and secure. I have experience working with infants to high school age children in settings such as In-Home, Public Education, Non-Public Education, and Montessori. Some of my experience includes K-12 School Teacher, Live in Nanny, Swim Instructor, Backpacking Instructor, Science Camp Educator, and Mental Health Mentor.
My personal time is spent with my husband, family and friends enjoying home cooked meals, swimming, camping, skiing, snowmobiling, and relaxing at home. I also enjoy gardening, arts and crafts, playing and listening to music, reading books, and riding bikes.
I'm excited by this opportunity to use my passion and experience to create a business that provides both a service to the community and a new challenge for this next chapter of my life!
