What is the Adopt A Grandparent programme?
At its heart, the programme connects seniors in our community with young children, with Pre-schools/daycares inviting senior volunteers to come to their centre and spend time with the children. They read to them, get involved in creative activities, crafts, puzzles, cooking and play music. Some seniors might tell their story about how things were when they were a kid, something the children love to hear about. Depending on the rostering system in each pre-school, seniors can volunteer once a month, once a fortnight, or even more frequently, it is totally up to them to express their preference to the pre-school.
