Mission Statement
Our mission at Horizon Enrichment Center is to provide a safe nurturing environment for developmentally disabled adults living in or near Cape Girardeau who are not participating in adult habilitation or employment situations.  This day program will provide appropriate supervision, exercise, recreation, ongoing educational or training opportunities, social interaction, and community involvement in a safe, warm and caring atmosphere.

All About Us!
The Horizon Enrichment Center is designed to encourage independence and community interaction for individuals with special needs who are currently being cared for at home.  By attending the day program, the participants will learn the basic life skills that they need in order to attain the goal of independence, (one of the key goals of this program) while providing them with the opportunity to access community facilities and events.

History
The Horizon Enrichment Center began as a parent's dream.  In August of 1998, the program was formally developed to provide a day program for persons with developmental disabilities in the Cape Girardeau area.  With the help of parents, Southeast Missouri State University, St. Vincent De Paul Parish and concerned individuals, this not-for-profit organization was established.
