Senior’s Holiday Tea/Concert Rehearsal
Senior’s Holiday Tea/Concert Rehearsal
It has officially become a tradition. During the Seniors Tea at the upstairs level of our building on December 10th 2025, Montessori Casa children will have a dress rehearsal for our holiday concert and also support our local community of elders.
There have been many studies on intergenerational learning for both seniors and children. If your children have grandparents at home or close by, you can affirm to have witnessed a harmonious union. Children understand the importance of elders and these interactions have a calming effect on most children. Our young children will bring energy with them that can be infectious and make a tremendous impact for some elders who may not have family or anything else planned for the holidays. We feel honoured to offer some excitement and give them some joy.
At 2:45 pm we will head upstairs and sing for 10-15 minutes and head back downstairs around 3:10 pm.
