Parents consistently highlight the caring and engaging staff led by Ms. Jody, strong educational programs, excellent communication, and safe environment.

Ms. Jody and her staff are fantastic. The teachers are engaging and nurturing. My daughter loves it here and learns something new everyday! A bonus for parents is the great security system and communication throughout the day with a user friendly payment system. I can't wait for my youngest to join the Horizons crew!
We cannot say enough good things about Horizons ELC! Each and every individual that works there is beyond wonderful. Our kiddo attended for 3 year old preschool, following a year and half at home during the pandemic. While we had anxieties about him beginning that quickly subsided once we started at Horizons. There wasn’t a day that we didn’t feel GREAT about him attending. The love, care, education and attention he was given by ALL staff went far beyond any of our expectations. The clear and consistent communication eased our minds and provided a beautiful glimpse into his days. While he was sad to have his last day, his parents had an even harder time. I wish Miss Jody, Miss Caitlyn, Miss Alyssa, Miss Tessa, Miss Haley, Miss Courtney and Mr. Jesse could care for and teach our children from birth through age 18! If you’re questioning whether or not to send your kiddo to Horizons trust this anxious mama…do it!
Wonderful staff who truly love and care for the kids. I have been impressed by their attention to detail and concern for safety during the current pandemic. My daughter loves her time at Horizons and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality care, excellent education, and a safe, fun atmosphere for their child.
We are new to Vermont and my daughter has felt so welcomed and comfortable at HELC! I am so impressed with how the teachers keep the kids engaged with activities that are exciting and educational! My 4 year old has so much fun! Recently we were riding in the car and she explained to me what “echolocation” is! She enjoys all of her friends and I am very happy with how everyone is treated with kindness and respect. We are so grateful for this amazing place and highly recommend HELC!
Our kids love going to school, they want to go even on the weekends. Miss Jody and her staff have made the transition for both kids seamless. They run in the door forgetting to say goodbye to mom!
