The joy of intergenerational programming at Pickering Manor
At Pickering Manor, we’re delighted to revive our vibrant intergenerational programming this summer. These activities, which bring together seniors and children, have always been a cornerstone of our community, and we’re thrilled to see them flourishing once again.
Why Intergenerational Programming Matters:
Bringing seniors and children together offers remarkable benefits for both groups. For seniors, interacting with young people can be invigorating and provides a sense of purpose. Children gain invaluable life lessons and a connection with the past. These interactions foster mutual respect and understanding, enriching both their lives.
Summer Highlights:
This summer, our intergenerational programming has been filled with joy. We’ve enjoyed lively musical performances by local students, engaging game days, and delightful gardening and baking sessions. Our employees’ children and grandchildren have also been actively volunteering, visiting residents several days a week and forging meaningful connections. These vibrant interactions beautifully highlight the special bonds and shared joy that different generations bring to our community.
Community Impact:
The impact of these intergenerational activities is heartwarming. They bring smiles and laughter, enhancing the daily lives of both seniors and children. The joy and learning that emerge from these sessions reflect the profound connections that can be made when generations come together.
