As part of Providence Benedictine Nursing Center, we partner together to provide an enriching intergenerational program that benefits the children and residents of the Providence Benedictine Nursing Center facilities. Licensed for 40 children, ages 6 weeks through 12 years, the center is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers part-time and full-time options for families. Our highly educated teaching staff provides a nurturing curriculum that focuses on the whole child. Students have many opportunities for hands-on learning through books, art, music and cooking. The center’s developmental philosophy is compatible with research-based guidelines developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, with attention to the holistic needs of the child, including intellectual, physical, social, emotional and creative development.

Bridge Meadows is an intentional intergenerational housing community in North Portland. Serving foster youth, adoptive parents, and low­‐income elders, Bridge Meadows cultivates permanence and family resilience through integrated onsite support services and therapeutic interventions. Children move from the instability of foster care placements to permanent homes and families. Adoptive families receive essential guidance and social support. Low‐income elders combat the deleterious health effects of social isolation by volunteering 100 hours/quarter in the community. Together, our three generations of residents transform individual vulnerability into collective strength, creating a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
