Topping off an impressive 2022, Thrive by 5 kicked off the new year by announcing an expanded strategy that now includes both Noble and LaGrange Counties. LaGrange County’s own coalition members complimented the work done in Noble County under the leadership of coordinator Jenna Anderson and hopes to build on that success across the region by joining forces with Thrive by 5.

The expansion to combine efforts effectively doubles the resources to tackle strategies to enhance affordability, availability, and quality of child care and early learning opportunities. Thrive by 5 summarized the work done in 2022 in a program report now available for review.
