LOCATION
Whoopsy Daisy Childcare is located within Country Side Living in Redmond Oregon. Strategically placed in thriving small cities. Whoopsy Daisy Childcare combines seniors from Country Side Living and Thelma’s Place with children from ages 3-6.
OUR SENIORS
As an intergenerational community, Whoopsy Daisy Child Care, along with our partners, Country Side Living Memory Care and Thelma’s Place Day Respite provide for interaction between our children and seniors. We strive to strengthen your child’s awareness of the aging process. Teaching them to accept the sight of medical equipment, and the appearances of the aging population. Children learn to respect older adults and become more compassionate for their physical limitations. Your child will have enhanced social skills and academically flourish with our staff and seniors attention and encouragement. Our seniors, mostly those being cared for by Thelma’s Place, also benefit greatly from the interaction with the children. Our residents and participants can tell stories of days gone by and maintain self worth. They are more focused with enhanced socialization, improved overall health and generally just happier.
Why This Concept Works
An amazing thing happens when the young and the elderly share the same space in an intergenerational program. The attention and encouragement of seniors help children flourish, while seniors enjoy their lives and experiences. Our participants gather daily in a designated space with Whoopsy Daisy preschoolers top enjoy activities like sing-a-longs, baking, crafts, reading or just sharing stories. There is never a shortage of happy smiles and laughter. At Whoopsy Daisy we are
“Bridging the Gap Between Young and Old”!
