Early Childhood Center Celebrates Cultures Around the World
The four classrooms of four-year-olds in our Early Childhood Center welcomed friends and family to their Cultures of the World Event. Children and their teachers created displays, costumes, food, performances and much more based on their study of Brazil, Mexico, Greece and Egypt. The children created a six-foot tall Trojan horse and dioramas of Brazilian landmarks, performed a traditional Egyptian dance, served homemade Mexican food and so much more.

CARE Program for Older Adults with Dementia Expands
Our CARE Program has been enriching the lives of older adults living with dementia for many years. Our person-centered approach supports participants with tailored therapeutic activities that are stimulating and enjoyable and that promote social engagement. CARE specializes in music and visual and performing arts activities; we are proud of our talented staff and our numerous collaborations with musicians, museums and universities. We also provide exercise, pet therapy, storytelling, group discussions, poetry and cooking.
We are now expanding our program so that we can meet the needs of even more older adults and their caregivers: participants will join us for the morning (8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.) or afternoon (3:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) sessions or for the entire day (8:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.). We will continue to offer round trip, wheelchair-accessible transportation and fresh and delicious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
