As we look back on 2025, we’re filled with gratitude.

This year was shaped by meaningful partnerships, shared problem-solving, and the trust families and communities placed in us.

We had the privilege of working alongside incredible families, dedicated schools, and thoughtful community organizations — all united by the same goal: supporting children in ways that are compassionate, responsive, and rooted in care.

Every collaboration, conversation, and moment of growth reminded us why we do this work. Thank you for welcoming us into your teams, your classrooms, and your lives.

As we step into the new year, we’re wishing our families, partners, and communities a year filled with connection, growth, and continued collaboration.

Happy New Year from all of us at Thrive Collaborative ✨

Why ESDM Works for Families in Rural Communities ⛰️

Families in rural and mountain communities often face long drives, limited provider availability, and extended waitlists for services. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) was designed to address many of these barriers.

ESDM is an evidence-based, play-based intervention that focuses on building communication, social engagement, and learning within everyday routines. Through parent coaching, families learn practical strategies that can be used during mealtime, play, caregiving routines, and shared activities — no special setting required.

Because ESDM is flexible and embedded into daily life, it works especially well for families who may not have consistent access to in-person services. Support happens in real time, within real routines, helping families build skills and confidence right where learning naturally occurs.

What Is ESDM?

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a highly researched, play-based developmental approach designed specifically for young children during their most important learning years.

Why does starting early matter?
Early childhood is when the brain is most flexible and ready to learn — and ESDM is designed to meet children right where they are, through joyful, relationship-based play.

What makes ESDM unique?
✨ Developmentally informed
✨ Relationship-driven
✨ Embedded into natural, everyday interactions
✨ Empowers caregivers with practical, doable strategies

ESDM helps build communication, connection, and confidence from the very beginning — laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Who Is Parent Coaching For?

Living in a rural mountain community often means long waitlists for evaluation or services. But families don’t have to wait for support.

Parent coaching is ideal for:
✔ Families waiting for assessment
✔ Caregivers noticing early developmental differences
✔ Parents wanting tools for connection and communication
✔ Families who want guidance while navigating next steps

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to wait to get started.

Meet Ryan Seery, RBT 👋

Ryan joined Thrive in 2021 and brings dedication, energy, and heart to every session. He’s currently working toward his Master’s at FIT with plans to become a BCBA — and we couldn’t be more excited for his journey!

Originally from the DC area and now calling Denver home, Ryan is all about teamwork on and off the court. When he’s not supporting kids and families, you’ll likely find him at a Nuggets game or shooting hoops with friends.

We’re grateful to have Ryan on the team! 💛🏀
