More about the program: Our intergenerational music programs are designed to foster meaningful connections and bridge the gap between young and old for their mutual benefit. They aim to help children develop social skills, confidence, and empathy, while providing older adults with a sense of purpose, as well as positive social, physical, and mental health outcomes. Led by a facilitator, the fun and relaxed programs include singing, movement, and simple activities to encourage social interaction, physical activity, and enjoyment for all. By enrolling in a Big Little Buddies program, you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the supervision, safety, and wellbeing of your child/children at all times during the session. Big Little Buddies and its volunteers are not responsible for supervising children or liable for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur. We'd love you to share our programs with anyone who may be interested, thanks!
