Welcome to the Center for Thriving Children!
Enrollment is Open!
Opening March 2026 at Brookridge Community, the Center for Thriving Children is where young learners and older adults come together in meaningful ways. Our innovative intergenerational learning model creates unique opportunities for children to build relationships, develop empathy, and gain confidence through intergenerational connections.
Your child will experience high-quality early education that prioritizes literacy and social-emotional development—all within an environment designed to nurture curiosity and joy. Through intentional programming that bridges age groups, children develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a genuine love for learning that extends far beyond our classrooms.
Whether you need full-day childcare, preschool, or Pre-K services, the Center for Thriving Children offers families a trusted partner in early education. Our experienced educators create engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences in a warm, inclusive setting where every child is valued and supported.
As an Imprints Cares program, we bring nearly 60 years of expertise in supporting children and families across Forsyth County. We're excited to welcome your family to this groundbreaking space where learning happens across generations, relationships matter, and children truly thrive.
Discover the difference intergenerational learning makes.
