Our early education center operates year-round and serves 261 children aged 2 months to five years. Every one of our 24 classrooms has a bilingual teacher and support staff that is specially trained to address the unique circumstances children experiencing homelessness face. While in our program, special attention is given to every child’s physical and social-emotional growth in ways that acknowledge and counteract the effects of homelessness. All of Horizons’ educators are trained in Horizons’ core curricula that supports early relational health, social emotional learning, and collaboration amongst teachers and caregivers. 

Horizons uses a two-generation model that addresses both the needs of the child and their parent. While the children are enrolled in the early education program, Horizons’ Family Coaching Specialists work closely with parents to support identification and achievement of parental goals which may include financial literacy, educational opportunities, language mastery, job training, and more.
