Young Horizons

We allow low-income families to work or obtain an education by providing full day care to children 6 months to 5 years of age. Children receive early care and education which prepares them for success in life.

Young Horizons has been supporting children and families throughout the city of Long Beach for over 50 years. Young Horizons is one of the largest childcare providers in Long Beach with five centers and serving over 300 children (ages six months to five years). Our state funding does not fully cover all operating expenses; therefore, we count on community partners, such as you, to support our programs.

Parents go to work or to school with peace of mind knowing their child is safe and cared for in a caring, loving and learning environment. Children love to play, learn and spend their day in their "home-away-from-home" early education program that includes a hot breakfast, lunch and snack. By assisting low-income families with full day care for little to no cost, we ensure that not one, but two generations have a chance of success.

"Teacher Rosa has always made Elena feel welcomed. She is very nurturing with all her students and very attentive. Every time I have any questions or concerns she is always on top of things, to the point where she reaches out to me before I do to her. Elena went through a personal loss last summer when she lost her kitty. When teacher Rosa found out, she was there to check in on her well being and mental health. Teacher Rosa is greatly appreciated and will be surely missed when Elena moves on to Kindergarten. "
