Intergenerational Daycare

In the United States, children and elderly people increasingly live in age-segregated worlds. In response to this trend over 300 daycare centers now offer an intergenerational component. ONE Generation in Van Nuys, California is considered a national role model for providing services for both seniors and children. Their intergenerational approach to aging and child development has made them a leader in building programs that enhance the lives of both generations.

At the Interchange Group, intergenerational relationships are a core value and drive our work in organizations. As our holiday gift to our clients and community, we have chosen to donate funds to ONE Generation to help provide critical services and life enriching programs for children and seniors. We invite you to learn more about the intergenerational care facilities in your own community!

Happy Holidays from the Interchange Group Team!
