Intergenerational Activities Minimize

Imagine walking into a room filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies that the children and seniors have baked together. Or, step into the Adult Day Center and find the children and seniors making crafts, singing, or playing games together in a large, brightly lit room. Watch a senior encourage a pre-school child as they work to fit pieces into a puzzle. Tiptoe into the infant room and observe a senior rocking a baby to sleep or another playing with the babies on the floor. Fill in the picture with nature walks, bowling, group sing-a-longs and much more to begin to understand the precious and rewarding Intergenerational Activities that take place each day at CFC.
