NorthPointe is excited to welcome preschoolers into our Intergenerational Preschool within Vista Springs Riverside Gardens, a planned assisted living community just blocks from our elementary school. Our young students will learn in a bright preschool classroom equipped with a multitude of hands-on activities and interactions with Vista Springs residents. Young students will create, share and listen to stories with their elder friends. Stories are woven into preschool themes and seasons and will enhance learning across curriculum content.

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

Moving Memories (DAN 247) is a choreography class that celebrates intergenerational learning. UR students and senior citizens participate in a mutually enriching and artful mission of creating a performative dance based on a significant memory from the elder’s past. The class investigates transcribing narrative into movement, sharing all aspects of decision-making in the process. Social bonding opportunities via outings and communal workshops are part of the semester experience as well. The final dances are performed in culminating concerts at the senior residence as well as at the University of Rochester.
