Horizons

Horizons for Homeless Children was recently featured in @BostonGlobe via the @hechingerreport for providing safe, trauma-informed early education and family support to children in crisis. Learn more: horizonschildren.org/general/boston…

An amazing Meet and Greet experience for several of Horizons’ families thanks to the Red Sox Community Relations team. A few young baseball fans and their parents got to watch pregame warmups on the field and meet with @houck_tanner Thanks for the once in a lifetime experience!

Hannah and Caila, you're inspiring! We’re excited to have this mother-daughter duo a part of our @bostonmarathon team! You reflect what we see at Horizons everyday - all the good that can come from a strong relationship between parent and child.

Horizons families and staff joined other organizations at the State House for Cookie Day 🍪, a day of support for the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP).

Our thanks to John Bogaert and the many community supporters who contributed to make his local winter sleepout fundraiser for the homeless, 'A Night In The Cold' a success raising $20,000 to support Horizons for Homeless Children. communityadvocate.com/news/night-in-… via @CommunityAdNews

Help us kick off Horizons' first ever Giving Day coming up on Wednesday, April 2. Make your gift today! horizonschildren.org/general/giving…

We celebrate the success of Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) grants which have contributed to the addition of 17,000+ licensed slots over the past 3 years, minimizing costs for families. Educator compensation and retention has improved. #earlyeducation #workforcedevelopment

In a recent meta-analysis, data from 145,000 children across 33 nations found that by age 6, kids already see girls as worse than boys at computing and engineering. Horizons is committed to early STEM exposure to break down stereotypes. #AI #STEM #innovation

A recent visit by @CNN to Horizons reveals the daunting statistics around #familyhomelessness but offers hope to children and families in Boston as a model for the nation. horizonschildren.org/cnn-make-a-gif…

We support policies that recognize and compensate early childhood (EC) educators for their impactful work, complex skills, and considerable experience. This @voxdotcom article highlights the importance of skilled and properly compensated EC educators. vox.com/policy/379220/…

Horizons recognized #hispanicheritagemonth with activities hosted by the Latinx Employee Resource Group (#ERG) for staff and families.

Horizons was pleased to welcome author and economist Jeff Fuhrer for a discussion about his book, The Myth that Made Us. He challenges the false narratives about poverty and points to universal early childhood education as one of the most attainable policy changes we can make.

The children in our classrooms got to embrace apple season on a recent U-pick field trip where they spent the morning with volunteers from @BainCapital. Special thanks to our corporate partners at Bain Capital and @Lookout_Farm who made the day possible!

Good luck to all students who are starting school! We are especially thinking of Horizons students who will be starting Kindergarten this week. Thank you to corporate sponsors @PNCBank, @goulstonstorrs, Chroma Medicine and @WellsFargo for donating their backpack supplies!

We are incredibly proud that the Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine included Horizons’ very own Jayd Rodrigues and Shavon Drayton in their current edition honoring women who say, “I will help.” issuu.com/livingcruemaga…

We recently unveiled our new play-based toddler curriculum! 👏👏 Brandy Miracle, an educator at @HHCTweets, experienced firsthand how our curriculum enriches toddler learning. Listen here to learn more about its impact on our young learners: youtube.com/watch?v=JuKbyx…

It was a pleasure to have you! Thanks for your support.

Congratulations, Commissioner Kershaw! Our administration and @HHCTweets believe in the power of investing in our littlest learners and their families. We are so glad to have you leading the @MassEarlyEdCare team!

Last week, Horizons hosted a roundtable discussion and press conference with city officials, advocates, and Horizons parents to discuss the local impact of new federal funding. masslive.com/news/2024/03/b…

Toddler/PreK class 256 painted their own mailbox and made “letters” to mail. Teacher Kianna invited her brother to visit - a @USPS mail carrier! Kevon was happy to read, provide coloring pages, and let the children check out his mail truck. What a day of exploration and learning!
