Josephine Intergenerational Learning Center

Josephine's child care center provides an innovative approach to child care in a unique setting. The center benefits children, their family and elders through mutual interactions and continuing relationships.

Infant & Toddler House  

Our staff cares for infants and toddlers in the “Little House,” a separate on-campus building. Parents can enroll infants starting at six weeks of age.

Preschool

In addition to the Montessori preschool described in a separate link to the left, Josephine offers four distinct preschool programs based on the child’s developmental readiness. Classes are held in recently remodeled settings located throughout the facility, and regular interaction between residents and the children is encouraged. These intergenerational interactions benefit residents and children.   

Before & After School Care 

This program meets the needs of parents whose work schedule does not coincide with school hours. Transportation from Josephine to and from Cedarhome, Twin City , or Stanwood Elementary is provided by Josephine staff members. Care during winter and spring breaks (corresponding with the Stanwood school district schedule) is also available. During the summer, Josephine offers all-day camps with weekly field trips and other learning and recreational opportunities.  

ECEAP 

Josephine’s Early Child-hood Education and Assistance Program provides free preschool to children from low-income families. Sponsored by Snohomish County , Josephine’s ECEAP program offers four year olds a wide variety of educational experiences, engaging activities, health and nutrition screenings, and family support. ECEAP is a cooperative preschool enriched through active parent involvement. The program is design to enhance the development to children and assure a successful school experience.
