Foster Grandparents

 

Who wouldn't love another grandma? These caring volunteers can be found rotating among our classrooms each day, providing an extra set of hands for the teachers and an extra dose of attention for the children.

This program also means additional adults are present in our classrooms beyond our stated teacher-student ratios (which already meet and often exceed licensing standards!).

About the Program
The Peninsula Foster Grandparent Program is a federally funded program for senior citizens 55 years and older.
These volunteers give children the much-needed attention that can change lives, as well as mentoring. Foster Grandparents help children develop skills, confidence and strength to succeed in life.
