Mission
To provide quality care that supports families, honors seniors, and creates opportunities for meaningful interaction across generations.
Vision
To create a place where children and older adults can learn, connect, and thrive together in a safe and enriching environment.
Why It Matters
This center was inspired by the real needs of families who struggle to find dependable care for children, seniors, and loved ones with support needs. Ruby’s Intergenerational Care Center was created to respond to those gaps with compassion, intention, and community impact.
About Us
A Center Designed with Families in Mind
Ruby’s Intergenerational Care Center is being developed as a unique care model that supports two important stages of life: early childhood and aging adulthood. The center’s purpose is to offer dependable, high-quality care while also building opportunities for shared experiences that strengthen empathy, confidence, joy, and community.
The first phase will focus on opening the early learning program in 2026. The second phase will expand into adult day services in 2028, allowing the organization to thoughtfully build out the space and align with future program requirements. This step-by-step approach creates a strong foundation for lasting impact.

Care with Purpose
We believe care should do more than meet daily needs. It should strengthen families, support independence, and create spaces where every person feels valued.
Connection Across Generations
Children and seniors both benefit from relationships built on patience, shared experiences, storytelling, and mutual encouragement.
Community Impact
Ruby’s Intergenerational Care Center was created to help address the real challenge many families face when they need dependable care for both children and aging loved ones.
Our Story
Inspired by Real Family Needs
Ruby’s Intergenerational Care Center grew from years of experience in childcare and from seeing firsthand how difficult it can be for families to find dependable daytime care for aging loved ones. The vision is rooted in service, shaped by lived experience, and driven by a desire to create a place where families do not have to choose between quality care and peace of mind.
A Place to Belong
We believe children deserve nurturing learning environments, seniors deserve dignity and engagement, and families deserve support they can trust.
