Canton Day Care Center is in a unique position due to its location within the United Helpers Maplewood Facility. The children in our program are neighbors with the Maplewood residents, and we use this proximity to involve the children in an intergenerational program. Intergenerational programs strengthen communities and contribute to both a healthy aging process and the social development of children. At Canton Day Care Center we are very proud of this program, and are constantly striving to improve the experiences of the children we serve and the community around us. Keyword: Shared Site

KAHELC is open daily Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Center provides quality care and educational programs for children ranging in age from 6 weeks through six years. There are three separate classrooms serving infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Because the Center is located at Kendal at Hanover, the children benefit from the wide variety of offerings available on the 64-acre campus, including access to hiking trails, access to transportation for field trips, and indoor and outdoor gross-motor areas. One of our finest features is our Intergenerational Program—an opportunity for the children to spend time with our older citizens. Intergenerational programs support healthy development of young children and older adults gain personal satisfaction by volunteering, building relationships with children and staff and contributing to the academic success of young children.

We have found at our sister facilities Gorham House and Clover Manor, that the children’s daycare is a meaningful addition to the quality of life of all our residents. The children are here five days a week, year round. They become personally involved with residents in their play, sharing circle times, singing, parading through the halls and many other daily interactions. The special friendships that are formed lifts our resident’s spirits and reminds them of their own children and grand children. Keyword: Shared Site
