In a heartwarming display of community spirit recently, tamariki from Kindercare Warkworth visited the Summerset Retirement Village. The preschoolers delighted residents with waiata (songs) and dance moves. Centre director Unay Pretorius says the visit was part of a local curriculum priority of Kindercare Warkworth, focusing on whanaungatanga or relationships, the importance of community and inter-generational bonds.
“It was a beautiful and endearing morning to see young and old coming together for a time of connection,” Pretorius said. “Everyone had such a great time that both Kindercare and Summerset are making plans for this to be a regular occurrence.”.
