The
program of Beatitudes Age Link is designed
to develop the security, trust and
self-esteem of all enrolled children. All staff
receive ongoing training in the thoughtful application of the most recent developments
in
the early childhood field. The Age Link program provides age-appropriate activities
throughout the day. It is the intent of Age Link to always provide high quality child care
and education to young children in a developmentally appropriate intergenerational setting
that supports the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of children.
The unique placement of Age Link adjacent to the Beatitudes Campus of Care has allowed us to include
seniors in the planning of
our program from its inception. Seniors serve
in a variety of volunteer capacities:
greeters, classroom assistants, working
one-on-one with the children, rocking infants, clerical work, music and garden. We know that
the richness of their experiences will enhance
the quality of our program. |
