About
Horizon Education Centers offers early childhood education, care, and youth development programs in centers that include extensive gross motor spaces, indoor greenhouses, and age-specific playgrounds. The program operates year-round and offers a variety of child care programs all day at 21 locations, along with before-school, wrap-around, and after-school programs for children 6–14 years at many schools in Western Cuyahoga and Lorain County and at 10 Horizon centers. The top stated priority of the program is the health, safety, and security of children in its programs.
• Ages: 0–14 years old
• Schedule: Child care centers open Monday–Friday, 6:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.; afterschool hours vary by location
For over 45 years, since 1978, Horizon Education Centers has offered early child care and education and has over 46 years in business. Its mission is to provide high-quality early childhood education, care, and youth development programs. Horizon’s center-based programs are highly rated by Step Up to Quality, and its centers are rated high-quality by the State of Ohio. Horizon notes that County Child Care Voucher income limits have increased and offers a Fast Start option to tour a center one day and start the next day. The organization states that it greatly values its supporters, partners, and the thousands of parents who choose a Horizon center for their children.
Parents describe the after-school program as giving individualized attention that supports a child’s performance in spelling and math and mention that their child has developed an interest in science through the program and staff. Another parent reports that teachers have supported a child with separation anxiety and ADHD and have helped the family reach milestones and prepare the child for the outside world, describing the center as feeling like a second family. A third parent notes that staff at one center have shown compassion and love beyond expectation for a child who struggled, and that staff have not used a “one size fits all” approach but instead tailored their approach to the child’s needs.
