Intergenerational Program

Tutor:

There is no feeling in the world quite like companionship, it makes us feel wanted, appreciated and improves our quality of life. Companionship across generations goes one better, it has been shown to reduce a sense of isolation for older adults and potentially relieve or lessen depression, as well as improving memory, mobility and general wellbeing. Intergenerational activities which build relationships between older adults and children have been proven to energize older adults and give a sense of purpose. 

Join us for this exciting new intergenerational program aimed at building relationships and nurturing mutual respect and understanding with the kindy kids (aged 4 and 5) from Kaadidjiny Maya daycare. There are lots of exciting activities planned and the children will be fully supervised by the staff from Kaadidjiny Maya whilst they build wonderful relationships between generations. You are never too old to play!

This is a trial program, starting in week 2 of term 4 and if successful will be added to the program next year. As such there will be a survey to complete at the beginning and end of the program to evaluate it's effectiveness. Places are strictly limited so hurry to book via reception so you don't miss out!
