“There is a need to listen to the children and the seniors in our midst. The former are our future and the latter the means for understanding what our past has been.”
Through the Intergenerational Program, the Sr. Preschool/ Kindergarten class have the opportunity to visit the residents at Sunrise Senior Living of Mississauga. The children and seniors partner together and work on various activities & have a refreshment time. In the process, both generations achieve something beyond the relationship. For the older person, it might be the opportunity to reminisce or to feel like a contributing member of society. For the child, it might be a reason to think beyond his or her small world and make a new friend.
