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 offer a unique program that brings multiple generations together in a stimulating environment. As children and older adults share memories, play games and create together, an unmistakable bond forms that transcends generations. For children who do not live near their own grandparents, these connections can be especially poignant and meaningful. Learning alongside seniors will help children see beyond their own small worlds. They’ll understand more about life and discover many similarities between themselves and their “Grandfriends”. This understanding and love will lay a foundation for celebrating diversity, a skill that they will use throughout their lives. Keyword: Shared Site
