The kiddieGRAND was established to provide quality, safe, and loving care for toddlers, pre-school children and school age children. kiddieGRAND strives to create an educational and inviting environment as well as providing a unique opportunity for children to experience the benefits of an intergenerational learning center. Research has shown that through these interactions, children are able to begin to understand the normal aging process, to understand and accept those with disabilities, and to build relationships with others. Residents in turn are also able to benefit from these interactions. Some intergenerational activities include visiting residents, art projects, storytelling, music, dancing and so much more!

kiddieGRAND programs also embrace the idea that children learn through a variety of creative and educational activities in a safe, nurturing environment. Teachers focus on cognitive development, language development, physical development, and social and emotional development while integrating free play and intergenerational learning. The intimate size of the kiddieGRAND helps teachers individualize curriculum for each child’s personal growth and development.

The littleGRAND classroom offers care for children 18 months to 3 years. Children will begin to explore their independence by taking part in our intergenerational daily activities which include arts and crafts, music, and reading along with walking trips throughout the facility. The littleGRAND allows toddlers and early preschoolers to experience the world around them and begin to build relationships with others. The littleGRAND focuses on transitions and routines to help children find structure and prepare for preschool through the Creative Curriculum.

The bigGRAND classroom focuses on the development and preparation of 3 year olds to 5 year olds for Kindergarten as well as integrating outdoor, free play, and intergenerational interactions. The engaging classroom environment allows children to have fun learning to work together through a variety of small and large group activities following the Creative Curriculum. Teachers focus on each child’s development by individualizing lesson plans and activities to give them the best chance to succeed. The bigGRAND also provides before and after school care for ages 6-11. This program allows quiet time for school work as well as a full schedule of intergenerational activities, free play, and outdoor play. Through intergenerational activities, school age children are able to build their sense of self-worth by aiding residents and younger children throughout the day.
