Thrive To Five is a project of Communities In Schools of Tempe and Kyrene that is funded by First Things First to provide family support services to parents and/or caregivers of children between the ages of birth to five years old.

Thrive To Five has the goals of promoting understanding of early child development and brain growth and to provide families and caregivers with the tools to help children reach their potential and enter school ready to learn.

Family Support Services are offered through the Family Resource Centers of the Tempe Elementary and Kyrene School Districts. Parent Liaisons work within the Resource Centers as a direct contact for parents in their community.
