About Strive

Strive is a collaborative group of child care and early years professionals dedicated to supporting learning and growth to elevate effective practice. Our community is interested in a process that values reflection and sustainable evolution rather than a prescribed method to measure.

New Strategic Plan!

We are pleased to share with you our strategic plan for 2024 – 2026, Leading Inspired Learning. The early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector is constantly evolving. This plan outlines the change we want to inspire and the strategies we will implement in the next three years.

Over the next three years, we will leverage our knowledge and expertise to build capacity in the sector. We will strengthen leadership and create opportunities for connection. We will focus on advancing mentorships in all its complex facets. We will embed equity, diversity, and inclusion in all we do.

Together, we will strive to reach our goal of an engaged and empowered early years community.

We hope you will join us in leading inspired learning!

Join the ECE Professional Resource Centre

Strive is here to support all your professional learning needs. We have an inventory of physical resources that can be borrowed to support your program’s needs. A membership costs $35.00 for a full year of access. You can browse our inventory online before committing to a membership.

In addition, we understand that it may be difficult to attend professional learning events in addition to your work day but that you value your professional growth. That is why we created an online learning platform, Strive Online, with digital resources, prerecorded webinars, live recorded sessions, and printouts that you can access any day, any time! We will continue to grow our online library of resources in response to the community’s needs. Strive Online resources are free to access.
