A family is a loving, multi-generational, blended unit. Ours certainly is, which is why the Evalyn Sadlier Jones child care and learning facilities on our campus for infants and toddlers to age five are such an important part of who we are and have been for more than 20 years. Here, children learn in a safe, nurturing, educational environment. Rooms are filled with pictures, music, and playthings to stimulate young minds and imaginations. And an added benefit of our child care and learning center is the interaction between the children and Pines’ residents that enriches their lives through storytelling, arts and crafts, and entertainment. It’s a truly meaningful way to increase intergenerational understanding, appreciation and sensitivity. Keyword: Shared Site
