We offer a developmentally appropriate educational curriculum. Through careful planning and consideration, we offer each participant the opportunity to access community facilities and events each month. A calendar with our daily and monthly activities is sent home at the beginning of each month with each participant. In our classrooms, individuals will receive one-on-one attention from staff members. We provide a safe nurturing environment for all participants.
Transportation
The Horizons Enrichment Center Day Program will arrange or provide transportation to and from the center each day. This is at no cost to the participant. Bus routes, schedules, and stops are developed by the director.
