A Foundation Built On Loving, Learning and Growing for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. Intergenerational learning and care centers at select Delmar Gardens Family communities offer children the ability and activities to interact with the Senior generation. They learn and grow together while bringing joy to one another. The Delmar Gardens Family Intergenerational Care accepts enrollment throughout the year and is open to children of employees and the community.

Programs are becoming more popular. Researchers are studying their unique benefits to both age groups, and advocates are offering training and guidelines on how to create and maintain successful programs. With the growing elderly population and the increasing need for child care, providers see that combining resources also makes financial sense.

Parents say their children have better manners and are more accepting of not just older people, but of anyone who looks different than them. Relatives of the older adults say their loved ones feel more useful and active.

Gabe Grossberg, President & CEO of Delmar Gardens, decided to build the company’s first shared-site facility after coming across the idea in a health care journal. Grossberg was so excited about the prospect, he changed design plans midstream to accommodate a child-care center serving 16 infants and toddlers. His daughter, Nikki, was the first infant to be enrolled. As a father and the director, he saw the benefits first-hand.

• They learn acceptance of others on all levels. At Delmar Gardens, our child care staff knows the program benefits children in so many ways:
• They feel loved by a larger family setting.
• They begin to understand compassion at a younger age and to be wonderful helpers to everyone around them.
• All of this while receiving care and early education by highly qualified, experienced and professional educators.
