A Senior-Centered Model of Intergenerational Programming With Young Children

Mary Dellmann-Jenkins

Kent State University

A multistep model is presented that builds upon documented features of intergenerational program design and evaluation strategies that have resulted in positive outcomes for both older adult and preschool-age participants. This senior-centered model builds upon evidence that intergenerational programs involving these two age groups often fail to recognize the needs and interests of the senior participants and primarily focus on promoting the development of the young children. This model is both timely and needed in light of the growing number of administrators of day care centers interested in providing regular intergenerational exchanges between preschoolers and older adults.
