Higher Horizons Head Start & Early Head Start

Today we kicked off our very first Healthy Cooking Demonstration with Chef Cheron from RX Catering! 👩🏽‍🍳🥗

Parents and staff came together for a fun, hands-on cooking experience where they learned new recipes, explored healthy ingredients, and discovered simple ways to add more nutritious options to their meals.

We are so grateful to Chef Cheron for sharing her expertise and helping us make healthy eating both practical and enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait for the next one! 💚✨

Higher Horizons Early Head Start families recently had the opportunity to tour our program as they prepare for this exciting next step.

Families received “Headed to Head Start” resource bags, toured the bus hall and buses, met their child’s Head Start teacher, and enjoyed classroom activities along with some fun on the playground.

We loved welcoming our families and helping make the transition to Head Start an exciting and memorable experience!

Save the Date: Our partners at the Minnie H. Peyton Community Center would like to invite you to their Back to School Event taking place on Saturday, August 15th! Check out the flyers for all details!

Learning is even more fun when it happens outside! 🌞🎨🫧

Today our students explored, created, and discovered through hands-on sensory activities. From mixing paint and splashing through water play to chasing bubbles, every activity encouraged curiosity, creativity, and experiential learning—all while enjoying the great outdoors!

Our transition celebrations marked significant milestones for our students. Early Head Start students celebrated their advancement to Head Start, while Head Start students celebrated their progression to Kindergarten.

🌱 Our Garden Gathering event is in full swing!

Today, children and families are getting their hands dirty while learning the fundamentals of gardening through interactive activities and engaging story time.

To help continue the learning at home, each family will receive gardening kits, books, and resources to grow their own gardening journey together.

We’re excited to be planting both a Salsa Garden 🌶️🍅 featuring onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro, as well as a Pizza Garden 🍕🌿 with tomatoes, basil, and onions!

There’s nothing like cultivating a love for learning, healthy eating, and family connection—one garden at a time. 🌱💚

Last week we hosted our Health Fair & Field Day, and we had an amazing time! 💥 From fun activities to valuable health and wellness resources, there was truly something for everyone — students and parents alike.

A huge thank you to all of our incredible community partners who came out to support, encourage, and promote health and wellness throughout our community.

We also want to give a special thank you to our Health & Nutrition Manager, Ashley Willis, for putting together such a successful and impactful event. We appreciate everyone who helped make the day so memorable! 💚

Yesterday was Earth Day and celebrated the 56th anniversary of the environmental movement with the theme “Our Power, Our Planet.” 🌎

This year’s theme highlighted the importance of individual and community efforts to support renewable energy. Our students joined in by helping care for the trees on our school grounds.
