Much like in the groundbreaking ABC show 'Old Folks Home For Four-Year-Olds', young and old are coming together to learn from one another.
The planned 'Intergenerational Preschool Visits' started at Bowraville Preschool on December 5.
The group was greeted by the children singing a traditional Gumbaynggirr welcome song and other songs that the children had learned for the Bowra Memorial Cup.
The older group watched and enjoyed the younger generation's mini concert.
More was yet to come.
The morning continued with art and crafts, with the children choosing the activities they were going to share with their special guests.
It was smiles and deep conversations all 'round as the children shared their learning space with their older guests.
"Our Social Support clients loved the outing and commented on how much they enjoyed their visit, with some of the highlights including the singing and dancing and seeing the learning that the children are offered," General Manager Glenys Munro said.
"The experience was new and rewarding for both generations and a huge success.
One gentleman commented that he simply didn't know what the morning was going to bring but he was so happy he came.
"We will definitely look to more opportunities to bring the generations together."
Lifetime Connect would like to thank Bowraville Preschool for hosting the Intergenerational Preschool visit.
