UNC Horizons Child Development Center

We help children grow and learn with activities meant to weave them tightly into the local community. Just walking distance from the local library, elementary school and farmer’s market, UNC Horizons Child Development Center is perfectly positioned to introduce your child to the importance of being part of a community.

Located in the heart of downtown Carrboro, NC, we are a small, licensed childcare center that focuses on your whole child. Our team specializes in early education, and we have relationships with visiting speech pathologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists who can help us monitor your child’s growth and development.

Our center has received a five-star license from the N.C. Department of Child Development and Early Education. We accept children from 6 weeks to 5 years in classes of nine students or fewer.

About Us

UNC Horizons is a substance-use disorder treatment program for women, including those who are pregnant, parenting and/or whose lives have been touched by abuse and violence.

We are part of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UNC-Chapel Hill and have sites in Orange and Wake counties.

Our trauma-responsive model of care focuses on both the mother and the child to heal the whole family and create systems of hope and renewal.

UNC Horizons is the only substance-use disorder treatment program for women in North Carolina that includes a child development center. You do not need to be a patient to get five-star care for your child. All children from 6 weeks to 5 years old are welcome.

Our Mission Statement

UNC Horizons Child Development Center strives to offer a safe and nurturing environment to encourage the social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth of young children aged 6 weeks through 5 years. Our program provides both teacher-directed and child-directed learning experiences that allow for meaningful learning opportunities that promote each child’s individual curiosities and feelings of belonging at their own pace. We are intentional about creating an environment where children, families and staff of all backgrounds and cultures are welcomed and seen in the environment and within our lessons. We prioritize providing support to our children and families through our center and by partnering with professionals and community members.
