  The goal of intergenerational programming is to unite the generations through providing joint services, programs, activities, and opportunities for generations to interact (Scannell & Roberts, 1995).  Generationally-enriched environments are stimulating, age-integrated settings that provide care and ongoing interactions for Children and Elders (Rosebrook, 2000).

Dr. Rosebrook holds a Graduate Intergenerational Specialist Certificate, Eden Alternative Associates Certification, and is a National Representative for the Council for Early Childhood Recognition.

   "Washington County Child Care Foundation/Delaware Child Development is delighted to sponsor Dr. Rosebrook as speaker for these varied events in Bartlesville," quoted Sherry Rackliff, Executive Director of WCCCF/DCD.  "Our vision for intergenerational programming in Bartlesville may be the first of it's kind in Oklahoma and may potentially be unique enough to bring national recognition.  We are confident Dr. Rosebrook can be of great help with our plan."
