ABOUT US
Thrive Teach Nurture Grow Inc. is a registered charity that operates Thrive Specialist Resource and Community Centre on the Central Coast, NSW.
At ThriveTNG Inc., we believe in the need for greater learning opportunities and social/ emotional support for individuals living and learning with dyslexia and other learning differences.
We believe in the value of diverse learning and thinking skills and are passionate about the positive ‘reframing’ of dyslexia for students, their families, and educators.
That is why we have worked to build a one-of-a-kind
Specialist Resource and Community Centre
for our children and young adults, their families and allied professionals.
