After a break due to Covid, the intergenerational groups have returned! We are finally back to reuniting your children and the friends from St. John’s Senior Living Community in a true intergenerational experience. These monthly playgroups follow simple structured play for 45 minutes. This is a great chance for your little one 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 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 always have a new fun 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.

When and Where
