Intergenerational Program – 4 Year Old Program
In 2019 Rangeview Pre-School introduced a wonderful new Intergenerational Program as part of its 4 year old sessions.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 restrictions forced us to suspend the program in 2020. However, we are pleased to announce this program will be resuming from term 2 of 2023.
The Intergenerational Program brings the children together with senior members of the community to form fun and meaningful relationships, and provides opportunities for the different generations to share experiences, knowledge and skills that are mutually beneficial.
Research has proven that these interactions can have fantastic benefits for each generation, with children having a better sense of where they’ve come from and older participants showing an increase in positivity and improvements in health. It is run in partnership with Regis by the Lake Blackburn, where the children attend regular sessions each term. Together with the residents, they participate in play-based experiences, as well as music and movement.
