Young Horizons Child Development Centers Preschool Program states that its mission is to provide quality childcare and preschool programs in a caring, loving and learning environment. The program is designed to develop and integrate the physical, cognitive, social, creative, and emotional aspects of each child and promotes understanding and respect for each child’s cultural heritage. The program honors the parent as the child’s first teacher, encourages each parent to take a leadership role, and believes that a child’s development is enhanced in partnership with the home, school, and community.
