Early Childhood Education Careers

When I started working at Horizon, I had my CDA in childcare and was working on my Associate’s degree in early childhood education. Since then, Horizon has paid for my Bachelor’s degree and has been flexible with my time to help me obtain this degree.

I enjoy working for Horizon because they really care for children. They provide teachers the resources needed to ensure children are ready for school.

We’re not just a child care center with preschool programs. We’re an extension to the families that are in our care. We have monthly meetings with families to form better relationship with them and make sure they have what they need.

When I started working at Horizon 14 years ago, I was a part-time assistant to the lead teachers. Now, I am working full time as the physical education lead teacher and help our students and families learn how to live healthier and happier lives.

My colleagues and students, along with their families, are like family to me. We talk daily about our classrooms, duties, and personal life experiences. We encourage each other to succeed.

Horizon allows me to work flexible hours for a healthy work-life balance. They are sponsoring my participation in the Learn to Earn program for me to acquire my CDA in early childhood education. This has afforded me the opportunity to succeed and accomplish my goals.
