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.

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

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/child-…

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!

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!
