Horizons Unlimited Classrooms
Here at Horizons we offer Six different classes for children 6 weeks through 12 years old. Our children are grouped by age and/or developmental ability. Each class has their own schedule and individualized curriculum to meet the ever changing needs of our students. All Birth - 5 classes have access to the Streamin3 Curriculum to use in their lesson planning. In all of our classes the children will primarily learn through PLAY!
Our Infant room is run by Miss Samantha Wright
Welcome to Horizons Unlimited Early Learning Centers infant room. In this classroom we focus on the child’s growth and development such as ensuring they are given opportunities to meet their milestones appropriately for their age. We work on forming a bond with each child to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in our care. In the classroom you will find many interesting things that will help your baby grow and learn new things every day! We ensure that non-mobile infants receive a minimum of 30 minutes daily of tummy time, sometimes more if they enjoy it. This will help Strengthen baby's neck, shoulders, and arm muscles so the baby can start to sit up, crawl, and eventually walk on their own. Our room is kept cleaned and open so our mobile infants can move around freely. We read to them, go on walks, sing silly songs, and have a lot of fun. We work on many skills with our infants throughout the day, as they get older we help prepare them to move to the next room. Our number one priority will always be the safety of the children in our care. We want to make sure each child that leaves in the evenings is feeling happy and loved!
Hello my name is Ms. Jess ♥️ I am the Lead Teacher In the 16 month to 2 yrs old classroom! Our classroom name is TINY TOTS!
I wanted to let you know a little bit about our class! We have lots of fun in here!!!! My teaching is mostly play based and a lot of artsy messes!!! There will be lesson plans for the week posted on Brightwheel that we do our best to follow. I ALWAYS remind parents no matter what is on the lesson plan, doesn't mean that's what will exactly happen! Every day is different with these little ones and I have to teach them on their level and not on mine! But I very much stick to a routine that they will learn as well!
As for things needed for the classroom:
* The toddler school supply list
* One nones spill cup for water and one for milk
* Sheet and blanket for their cubby
*Diapers and wipes for their cubby
* Spare clothes for their cubby in the cabinet
* I will get any diaper OTC ointments, sprays and their permission forms and make sure they are up to date for students already enrolled. For ones that aren't here yet I will send forms home to be returned to me on the first day for any ointments, sunscreen, bug spray, ECT that they may need.
* It would be greatly appreciated if they had a backpack and LUNCHBOX
* I give them their milk for breakfast, lunch, and if snack calls for milk that day. They will have water available all day in their other cup
* I don't ask for a crayon box on the supply list because I put all supplies together as a whole for the class and we learn how to share!
Also, my Co-teacher is Ms. Cloey and she is amazing with the little ones!!! We are absolutely delighted to be a part of your child's early development and I can't wait for you to see how much they soar in just a small amount of time!!!
If you have any questions or if I have left anything out please feel free to message me on Brightwheel and I will answer them to the best of my ability! ♥️
HUELC's Early Preschool Department is lead by Ms. Jenni Custalow.
Our objective is to prepare the two-year-old class for the three year old class. We will work daily on our ABCs, 123s, months of the year, days of the week, colors, and shapes. The two-year-olds will also be working on gaining their independence and following more step by step instructions. We also strive to have our two’s potty trained by the end of the two year old term (with the help of parents). The two’s will also work on recognizing their name and tracing by the end of the two year old term. The two year old class also has a weekly curriculum.
Hopes for upcoming Class:
*Able to hold a crayon
*Feed themselves with utensils
*Clean up toys both in class and on the play ground
The Preschool Class is headed up by Miss Alaura Millen
We prepare the threes for the fours classroom. We go over our ABCs, 123s, months of the year, days of the week, colors, shapes, learning how to use the scissors, and writing. We also focus on potty training and independence.
Pre K is taught by our Program Director, Ms. Susan Rose.
In the PreK 4 Class the goal is to prepare your child for kindergarten. This is done by covering social emotional skills, and academic skills, as well as life skills. We use a combination of a state approved curriculum, Streamin3, and Virginia learning standards. This combination covers all the skills your child will need to succeed in kindergarten. If a child needs extra help we are here to provide the child and parents with the needed support.
Our After School Program is led by Ms. Denise Wright.
On a “normal” day the kids are only here for a couple hours out of the day. We have snacks for them and then are outside (weather permitting) until going home. On early dismissal days or days off from school we provide a fun but learning environment. They have many age-appropriate toys (Legos, fidget toys, kitchen play), games (uno, twister) and books. Some examples of fun learning are making slime, going on scavenger hunts, making crafts, and doing experiments.
