About Horizons For Homeless Children

At Horizons for Homeless Children, we understand that homelessness can be an incredibly stressful and traumatic experience for young children, and we strive to provide them with the support and resources they need to thrive. Through our early education program, play opportunities, and family support services, we help children and families who are struggling with homelessness to build a better future.

Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

Early Education
Here at Horizons, we close the learning and developmental gap for young homeless children. Early childhood education creates lifelong positive effects, both for individual children and our society as a whole. Research shows that early education is critically important; children who lack access to these programs are far more likely to experience developmental delays, learning disabilities, health problems, and other challenges.

Playspace Program
Playspaces are child-friendly rooms that Horizons has installed in family homeless shelters across Massachusetts. Playspaces are designed to reflect the needs of children ages 0-6 experiencing trauma, creating a dedicated place for children to play and grow, and build connections with other caring adults who are committed to their success. Playspaces are staffed by a dedicated volunteer corps of PALs across the state of Massachusetts.

Family Partnership Program
Our Family Partnerships Program supports families in identifying and developing personal strengths and assets in order to take an empowered and knowledgeable approach in navigating the often frightening and frustrating terrain of homelessness.
