Providing intergenerational programming for our seniors and
introducing pets into the community are ways Andrus on Hudson
(AOH) practices our founder’s motto, “Add life to years, not merely
years to life.” AOH introduced on-site music programs for babies
and toddlers and a nursery school, creating an intersection of
common experience for the old and young alike. This symbiosis
enhances the experience of our seniors while providing new
schooling opportunities within our neighboring communities.
Babies & Grands Music is a multi-generational, multi-cultural
music and movement program for young children from six
months through pre-school. Children learn the
fundamentals of music through play, songs,
instruments and movement in the company
of their caregivers and participating resident seniors of Andrus on
Hudson. Babies & Grands Music director and teacher, Jenny Murphy,
created the program out of a desire to bridge generations, create
friends
