Parents/caregivers need quality, affordable out of school care in order to work or study. At Horizons we endeavour to create an atmosphere where your child feels safe and secure. We offer a well supervised, fun, safe, learning environment for your child. We aim to help the children learn good values, experience new challenges and develop new skills giving parents/caregivers peace of mind. They know their children are receiving positive out of school experience and being cared for.
