Young Horizons Child Development Centers has accomplished much this year.
Through funding from the Department of Education and our friends and supporters,
along with additional funds from our fun-filled Casino Night annual auction/dinner
fundraising event, more than 550 children benefited from daily early care and education in a caring, loving and learning environment. We provided well over 200,000
healthy, nutritious meals served family-style. Our children are happy and healthy,
but most importantly, they are prepared for lifelong learning.
The 2011-12 fiscal year brought challenges due to the continued erosion of state
subsidies for early care and education. Between 2009 and 2012, we experienced a
22% cut to our budget. We adjusted to these budget cuts by closing one center to
help bring our costs into alignment. Fortunately we were able to transfer a majority
of the children to our other centers. Our leadership examined our funding strategies and ways to diversify new income options.
After careful consideration, in August 2012, the board of directors launched an
aggressive, long-term, and systematic foundation-relations development plan. They
implemented a grantsmanship plan and increased our overall fundraising activities
to provide our organization with greater financial security. Our goal is to ensure
continued services to children and families that are so critically in need.
Several foundation grants have been identified and requested. A new collaboration, involving community leaders, has begun for revenue-producing activities. We
invite you to join our efforts. Provide us with your contact information and we will
share opportunities as they arise.
We are making use of social media through our website and a presence on Face
Book. Visit us on our website, www.yhcc-lb.com, and hopefully you will “Like” us
and become our new friend.
We thank those who support us and those who volunteer their time and talent
to assure our success. With your enduring support, we look forward to continue
providing outstanding services to children and families for decades to come.

About Young Horizons and Who We Serve
ESTABLISHED IN 1969
Young Horizons (YH) was founded in 1969 as a service provider for
children with behavioral challenges and developmental disabilities in
Orange County. In 1984, YH moved to Long Beach and shifted our mission to provide early childhood care and education for low-income
children. Today, YH’s mission is to provide quality early care and education programs in a caring, loving and learning environment.
We provide full-day childcare and half-day preschool to more than 550
low-income children, ages 6 months to 5 years, whose parents are
employed or enrolled in a higher education or vocational program . All
YH families fall below 75% of the State Median Income level, and almost 70% are single-parent households.
YH ensures that low-income children are prepared socially and academically for kindergarten, enabling them to compete with their
more affluent peers.
Our curricula are age-appropriate and incorporate the latest in teaching methods and environments to stimulate and challenge the children. We excel at eliminating the behavioral problems and academic
challenges that frequently hinder low-income children. In fact, teachers at Lafayette Elementary School, where students from three of our
six centers enroll, consistently praise YH, stating that our graduates
are socially and academically ready for kindergarten.
The services we provide are vital building blocks which lead to success
in school and life. Please join us in preparing these vulnerable children and help break the cycle of poverty through education.
“Success Starts Here”
The mission of Young Horizons Child Development Centers
is to provide quality childcare and preschool programs
in a caring, loving and learning environment.

Reading Starts Early
YOUNG HORIZONS LITERACY PROGRAM
gives children and parents the joy
of reading-- at home! Each week,
children “check out” a book bag
filled with a variety of books to
read at home with their parents
and/or siblings. At the end of the
12-week program, the child, parent
and each siblings receive a certificate
of participation upon completion of
the program.
Why Early Education is Important
HERE ARE FIVE REASONS
95% of Brain development
occurs before the age of five
Daily structure builds
a solid foundation for future learning
Essential social skills are learned
Academics are now emphasized
more in kindergarten
Early education contributes to success in school
resulting in more high school graduates
