Foster Grandparents serve 20 hours a week, usually 4 hours a day Monday through Friday, serving children directly with one-on-one, hands-on service. Other benefits include reimbursement for transportation, some meals during service,and accident and liability insurance while on duty. Pre-Service and monthly training sessions provided.

To work with the kindergarten children has been rewarding, educational and definitely fun. The kids are like sponges and they do understand things in a whole different perspective which makes everything more interesting. The children are great. I truly enjoy them and the wonderful teachers I have the opportunity to work with have been extraordinary.
