Description: At the LifeSpan Day Care Center, located on the wooded campus of LifeQuest Nursing Center and LifeSpan Adult Day Care Center in Quakertown, your child will be surrounded with friends, fun activities and quality stimulation. The unique aspects of this center are the relationships children develop with their "grand-friends" through periodic interaction in our intergenerational program with the adult day care and nursing centers. All enjoy their break together, and what better way to instill respect for the elderly than through this rare opportunity.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
