Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, our organization serves the greater Bally community and surrounding areas. We're proud to call this vibrant community home, where neighbors support neighbors and generations come together to share their stories and wisdom.
What We Do
GRANNY'S KIDS is a nonprofit organization that provides children with opportunities to bond with older generations through storytelling, activities, and mentorship programs. We create safe, nurturing environments where wisdom meets wonder, and where every story shared becomes a bridge between past and future.
Our programs are designed to celebrate the unique gifts that each generation brings to the table. Children learn valuable life lessons, gain confidence, and develop respect for their elders, while seniors experience renewed purpose, joy, and the satisfaction of making a lasting impact on young lives.
Our Core Programs
Storytelling Sessions
Weekly gatherings where seniors share captivating tales from their past, folk stories, and life experiences. These sessions spark imagination, teach valuable lessons, and preserve precious memories for future generations to treasure and learn from.
Creative Activities
Hands-on projects that bring generations together through art, crafts, gardening, and cooking. These activities encourage collaboration, creativity, and skill-sharing while creating tangible memories that participants can take home and cherish.
Mentorship Programs
One-on-one relationships that pair children with senior mentors for ongoing guidance, support, and friendship. These meaningful connections provide children with additional role models while giving seniors the joy of nurturing young minds.

The Magic of Connection
Every week, our community center fills with laughter, wonder, and the gentle voices of storytellers sharing their experiences. Children gather around, eyes wide with curiosity, as they listen to tales of adventure, lessons of resilience, and stories of times gone by.
These aren't just stories – they're bridges between generations, creating understanding, empathy, and lasting friendships. Through our programs, children develop confidence, respect for their elders, and a deeper appreciation for the wisdom that comes with age.
