Intergenerational Day Care

Intergenerational Day Care is a unique program that combines child care and care for adults in the same center. Children having "grandparents" at their day care center on a daily basis provides them with a sense of family, security, and companionship. Adults benefit as well; having young children around keeps them active and involved. Together, the children and adults participate in games, crafts, and other activities. However, if either children or adults wish to remain with their own age group, separate areas are provided.

Organized activities include:

	Arts and crafts
	Music and entertainment
	Memory stimulation and current events
	Field trips and holiday events
	Strength training program
	Cooking and baking

Services provided:

	Meals and snacks
	Personal Care (assistance with grooming, hygiene, etc.)
	Physical & speech therapies (through arrangements with local hospitals and agencies)
