The Intergenerational Community Center is home to a state licensed child care center, where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers enjoy a variety of year-long social and recreational activities.

The children take part in daily interaction with the older adults in residence at The Pavilions and participate in a number of field trips, which include trips to the zoo, petting farms, fishing excursions, and the shopping malls.The age-exchanges that take place daily at the ICC are thoughtfully designed to be positive, purposeful. Both the children and their senior companions 'grandpals' benefit from the experience and from lasting relationships.

ICC staff bring multiple years of educational experience, including early childhood development expertise, to their respective classrooms.

At all times, the ICC has a staff member who is certified in adult/infant CPR and First Aid training. Due to the proximity of our long-term, skilled nursing care services, there is also a registered nurse on the premises in case of an emergency. Trained volunteers complement staffing ratios.

Proper nutrition is viewed as an essential component to a child's growth and development. All meals and snacks are prepared by the Grand Traverse Pavilons Food Services Department and meet USDA nutritional standards.

The ICC offers full and part-time care Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Center is closed on holidays, and as otherwise determined. For special program information regarding Head Start or Title XX, contact the ICC at (231) 932-3000 or e-mail webmaster @gtpavilions.com.
