The Avon Child Care Center has been serving the community since 1985. We were one of the first daycare centers in Ohio to have an intergenerational program. Intergenerational Child Care is based on the premise that it is natural for children to encounter people of all ages as they grow and to participate in activities with them.

The intergenerational approach to learning benefits both children and The Commons residents alike. The program integrates reading activities, music and student celebrations. The program provides a unique atmosphere for learning, caring and cooperation. The program is a collaborative effort between the United Methodist Home of Enid, The Enid Public School System EPS and CDSA/Smart Start Northwest Oklahoma.

Chandler Hall embraces its on-site Child Development Program as an integral part of its community. Daily experiences occur on both a planned and informal basis. These experiences provide residents, clients, staff and children a safe place to develop healthy bonds, to get to know similarities and differences, and to begin to dispel ageist myths. Some experiences include trips to nature centers and various museums; cooking, music and art programs. Along with the high school students performing LINC hours, Chandler Hall has a summer camp with a volunteerism component for the campers ages 12-14; campers perform tasks daily with residents, developing relationships as they go. Our Child Development Program also interfaces with residents on a daily basis with the focus of those interactions being to highlight the interdependence we have for each other. Both the children and the older adults open themselves up to enriching each other's lives.

Sponsored by Allegheny Lutheran Social Ministries Intergenerational Day Care is a unique program that combines child care and care for adults in the same center. Children having "grandparents" at their day care center on a daily basis provides them with a sense of family, security, and companionship. Adults benefit as well; having young children around keeps them active and involved. Together, the children and adults participate in games, crafts, and other activities.
