Have a cherished experience with your children and friends from St. John’s Senior Living Community in a true intergenerational fashion. These monthly playgroups follow simple structured play for 45 minutes. This is a great chance for your little one(s) to get out and meet new kids and brighten the day of seniors. By joining these playgroups, you and your children will learn patience, kindness, and the chance to make new friends. Our friends at Saint John’s benefit tremendously from the interaction with our children.
Activities
At each playgroup, we follow the same structure to help children and residents alike become familiar with and comfortable in the playgroup. We begin with a hello song followed by a book, a craft, and an activity. If time permits, we will have free play followed by our goodbye song. We assure you that the structure of the playgroups only enhances the fun. And we always have a new theme each month!
Purpose
To provide an opportunity for children, caregivers, and older adults to interact and play in a relaxed, friendly, and organized environment.
Impact
Children will develop awareness of and relationships with members of the community they would otherwise not meet. Residents in the assisted living facility will have a chance to be around our energetic and humorous cutie-pies and offer their love and gentle care for them.
