EDITOR’S NOTE: Each week, we feature intergenerational program ideas that were tried and successful. This series is a tool to highlight various age-optimized programs and practices. The program descriptions are provided by representatives of the programs. Inclusion in this series does not imply Generations United’s endorsement or recommendation, but rather encourages ideas to inspire other programs.

Marilyn’s Lifelong Educational Center in Ohio provides intergenerational programming and compassionate care for young children.

Housed within Birchaven Retirement Village, Marilyn’s Lifelong Educational Center children learn through hands on explorations, daily interactions and guidance within a natural family-like environment.

The center was founded by the Macklin Intergenerational Institute, a not-for-profit company encompassing intergenerational initiatives, consultation services, research, training, continuing education opportunities, and a quality intergenerational child care center.
