Thrive Assessment
Measuring Progress
Every six months, partner homes complete a Thrive Assessment to help them evaluate how well they are meeting the needs of children in their home. Though we have an immediate focus on children by improving the standard of care at homes, A Child’s Hope Foundation has the end goal of helping children get into families as soon and safely as possible.
In 1989, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This document outlined the natural human rights a child deserves to be provided in their youth. The Miracle Foundation later consolidated the Convention into a scale defining the 12 rights. With permission, A Child’s Hope Foundation used that scale to create the Thrive Assessment with 15 standards for child care.

Results and Actions
The objective of conducting a thorough assessment of the home’s condition is to create an action plan that gives directors and caregivers a clear understanding of what needs to be changed and improved in their infrastructure.
