Strive Professional Resource Centre

Strive is the lead operator of the Professional Resource Centre (previously the Toy Lending Library) located at Childreach.

Strive is a collaborative group of child care and early years professionals dedicated to supporting learning and growth to elevate effective practice. While our focus is on ECEC professionals, the Resource Centre remains open and available to families.

All lending is localized to the upstairs Resource Centre area in the Childreach Building. Our Resource Centre Team is available during Resource Centre operating hours to help you navigate, browse, and borrow in person and online. Please note, Resource Centre hours may differ from Childreach building hours.

Recorded professional learning previously hosted through MyTurn can now be found on the new Strive Online website (please email us for the password).

For any questions, or for assistance with registration and access, please email resourcecentre@striveswo.ca or call the Resource Centre Team during operating hours at 519-434-3644ext. 602
