Grandma Ione

Grandma Ione is a Foster Grandparent at Dei Spring Academy in Cold Spring. Her favorite part of being a Foster Grandparent, “The babies . . . holding them, feeding them.” It really is all about the babies!! Kari Goldschmidt, Director of Dei Spring Academy shares, “Having the extra set of hands, arms, and hugs is invaluable to helping the room run smoothly, especially over the lunch and napping times.” 

Grandma Ione hopes others become a part of the Foster Grandparent Program because “it’s a really positive experience and very flexible.” Kari would love more Foster Grandparents at Dei Spring as she sees it as “a great opportunity to interact with children and be a part of their growth and learning.”
