Our intergenerational learning approach brings together children and older adults in meaningful, enriching experiences that foster empathy, respect, and a sense of community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Through regular visits to Methilhaven Home and the surrounding Care Village complex the children build special friendships with older members of the community\u00a0learning valuable life skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them. These interactions not only support children&#8217;s social and emotional development but also bring joy and purpose to our older friends, creating a truly reciprocal and heart warming bond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Our children enjoy weekly planned and spontaneous sessions &#8211; engaging in activities such as baking, board games, story sessions, crafts and garden games!<\/p>\n<p
