Welcome to Shepherd's Flock

Shepherd's Flock Intergenerational Program

Shepherd’s Flock has a unique intergenerational program. Children and Lutheran Home residents (the children refer to residents as “grandmas” and “grandpas”) participate in a variety of planned, on-site activities such as art, music, stories, and games. In the chapel of the Lutheran Home, special events are held for children and their grandmas and grandpas to enjoy together, such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt, a 4th of July parade, and a Christmas program.

 
Preschool-age children take field trips on Wednesdays, and grandmas and grandpas are always welcome to accompany them. Together, students and residents have delighted in spending time together, from pumpkin farms in the fall to water parks in the summer. Whenever a grandma or grandpa comes with, it always makes the day more special! There are many mutual benefits to our interactions!

Community Profile

“Shepherds’ Flock is the best combination of educational setting and warm family-like atmosphere. Our children are thriving under their care. They love to visit their local ‘grandmas’ and ‘grandpas,’ especially since ours live so far away. The teachers are first rate.”
