Whoopsy Daisy Child Care

Our Philosophy

At Whoopsy Daisy Intergenerational Child Care, we believe in "Bridging the Gap Between Young and Old." We're not just a childcare center; we're a vibrant community where generations connect, learn, and grow together. By partnering with Country Side Living Memory Care and Thelma's Place Day Respite, we create a unique environment where children and seniors interact daily, fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of shared purpose. We strive to make children more accepting of the aging process, teaching them to see medical equipment and the physical changes of aging as a natural part of life. Through these meaningful interactions, children develop a deep respect for older adults and gain a greater understanding of their challenges.

Benefits for Our Little Learners

Our intergenerational approach creates a wealth of benefits for the children in our care. They develop enhanced social skills through playing, sharing, and learning from their senior companions. Seniors often become mentors, sharing stories, wisdom, and life lessons that enrich the children's understanding of the world. Academics flourish in this nurturing environment, as the children receive attention, encouragement, and personalized support from both our trained staff and the seniors. Our program goes beyond traditional childcare, building a sense of community and belonging within each child.

Benefits For Our Seniors

Seniors who participate in our program experience numerous benefits as well. Engaging with children brings joy, purpose, and a renewed sense of self-worth to their lives. They have an opportunity to share their experiences and wisdom, passing on valuable cultural heritage and lifelong lessons.

Social interaction is crucial for seniors' overall well-being, and our program provides a platform for connection and companionship. Studies have shown that interacting with children can positively impact seniors' cognitive function, mood, and physical health.

Our Mission: A Place Where Generations Connect

At Whoopsy Daisy Child Care, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment where each child can thrive. We believe that learning should be a joyful and engaging experience, and we strive to create a curriculum that is both stimulating and developmentally appropriate. We aim to foster a love of learning in each child, as well as a deep sense of respect for themselves, their peers, and the world around them.

Our year-round curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, creative expression, and exploration. We believe that children learn best through play, and we incorporate a variety of play-based activities into our daily routines. We also recognize the importance of music, art, and storytelling in supporting children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our trained and caring staff are dedicated to providing personalized attention to each child, ensuring that their individual needs are met and their potential is nurtured.

Our program extends beyond simply providing childcare; it is about building a community where generations connect, learn, and grow together. We believe that by bridging the gap between young and old, we create a richer, more meaningful experience for everyone involved.
