Older adults have a special place in our hearts. Kids Impact Community has hosted intergenerational playgroups since the organization’s inception. Our kiddos have learned patience, kindness, and how to make new friends of all ages, and our “grandfriends” 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 always have a new fun theme each month!

Purpose

To provide an opportunity for children, parents, and assisted living residents to interact and play with each other 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.
