The Commons United Methodist Health Care Center is part of an educational program for 4 year olds, an Intergenerational Approach to Learning. 

The Intergenerational Approach to Learning benefits both children and The Commons residents alike. The program integrates reading activities, music and student celebrations. The program provides a unique atmosphere for learning, caring and cooperation.

The program is a collaborative effort between the United Methodist Home of Enid, The Enid Public School System EPS and CDSA/Smart Start Northwest Oklahoma. The project is fully funded by EPS and an Innovative Project Grant through Smart Start Oklahoma from the Inasmuch Foundation. The grant provides a professional teacher and assistant through EPS.
