“While Grandparents add to children’s lives, children add to their grandparents lives too. Many older people say that keeping up with their grandchildren keeps them young.”
- Playgroup Parent

In partnership with Playgroup Australia and the ABC, we are delighted to take part in season 2 of the hit documentary series Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds.

The show aims to raise awareness of the benefits of play for all ages.

The delightfully inspiring season two, follows a group of older adults living alone who join a group of lively 4-year-olds in an intergenerational play school where they find learning, connection and friendship.
