During the pandemic, The Thrive Kids Virtual Early Learning Academy was born out of the need for young students to engage in a preschool curriculum from the safety of their own homes. Four days a week, students from the US and Canada join Shaista as she virtually teaches them academic concepts such as early literacy, early numeracy and soft skills such as collaboration, mindfulness and communication. Shaista continues to help children reach early academic goals for young children through consultation with parents and schools.

Thrive Mommy is a program that has been developed by Dr. Shaista, where she facilitates important discussions around mental health, coping strategies and finding purpose through passion. As a result of Dr. Shaista’s ability to target all members of the community, Dr. Shaista has been able to reach a vast array of individuals throughout Canada and the US.

Thrive Babies is a program that began as a direct result of the lack of accessibility to programs for babies and mothers born during the pandemic. Through virtual, live classes, video lessons and tactile sensory packages, Dr. Shaista has been able to fill a massive gap and dire need. Thrive Babies, through the use of the sensory package, enables all participants, regardless of background to come together, connect and learn as one with equal opportunity.
