The Growth Collective

The Growth Collective is a newly formed, nonprofit, community coalition established out of the initial vision for GO Therapy (our sister business); creating opportunities for all to flourish. When you support The Growth Collective’s innagural Give to the Max campaign, you further our mission which is dedicated to the collaborative and holistic development of children, families and communities, empowering individuals through education to thrive in an environment that is welcoming, loving and supportive for everyone. 

The Growth Collective will house the following programs:

1. Ivy & Sprout PLAYschool: An inclusive childcare facility for up to 170 children, including spaces for children with Autism or medically complexities to receive one-on-one support to play alongside same age peers.
2. Mental Health Clinic: Serving all ages through neuro-affirming informed individual and family therapy and a developmental youth Autism program.
3. Caregiver Wellness & Education Center: Trainings, courses, retreats and opportunities for connection through reflection, arts and recreation for all caregivers (parents, teachers, childcare providers, paras, etc.)
4. GO Therapy will be co-located with all the above services to provide the highest quality of collaborative care. GO Therapy (currently serving 90% pediatric patients) will continue offering Occupational, Speech, Feeding and Physical Therapies but will expand its ability to serve adult populations.

We would like to emphasize that any contributions raised will be utilized for local and regional initiatives within Saint Peter. Your investment in this vision will enable us to expedite the provision of these essential services to our community, thereby supporting numerous families in need.
