Intergenerational Programming in Partnership with Newton Community Child Care Center
Asbury Park is proud to be the home of Asbury Station, an affiliation of Newton Community Child Care Center, providing an opportunity for elders and children to interact on a daily basis. This interaction encourages the elders to feel younger and more energized. It grants them an opportunity to interact with not only other elders, but also with teachers, children and their families. Elders realize they still have the ability to nurture and educate during the intergenerational activities. Asbury Park and Newton Community Child Care Center have created a remarkable partnership for the benefit of all ages. Asbury Station began classes on May 3, 2010 with a Pre-Kindergarten class. This fall they hope to expand with the addition of a toddlers program. Valerie Romero is the director of Asbury Station and can be reached at (316) 283-4770 ext. 120. Help us welcome the Asbury Station staff, children and parents to Asbury Park!
