Preschoolers at Primrose School of Woodcreek Reserve performed for residents and delivered handmade cards at Heritage Park of Katy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 6001 George Bush Drive in Katy, on August 21st, which fell between Senior Citizens Day and Grandparents Day. Forty-eight students participated in the event, each creating a card, resulting in a total of 48 cards – one for every resident.

The Primrose early education and daycare facility, located at 1249 FM 1463 in Katy, is owned by franchisees Michael and Lou Ann McLaughlin. The Adopt-A-Grandparent Program at Primrose Schools creates opportunities for young children and senior citizens to develop positive, genuine relationships.  Students visit senior centers monthly to nurture character traits like kindness and compassion through engaging experiences with their adopted grandparents.  The program teaches children that people in all stages of life, no matter their age or ability, should be valued, respected and appreciated. 

Observed on September 8, National Grandparents Day celebrates the relationships between the oldest and youngest generations.
