It Takes a Village to Raise a Child
Connecting those who are just entering this great world of human thought with those who have the most experience in it.
We are rebuilding the village and reconnecting the villagers.
For the past three decades, SA Montessori has been bringing exceptional early learning experiences to the children of Adelaide and supporting families with the process of parenting. We continue to embrace the privilege of our role in the lives of children, but we are also evolving to create a connection to our elders as well.
SA Montessori is incredibly proud to announce an innovative and inspiring new partnership with ECH, one of the largest integrated providers of retirement village accommodation in South Australia. Together we have built a pioneering project that places early learning and retirement residences side-by-side. The two services are not only co-located on the same plot of land, but are deeply integrated through a range of opportunities that facilitate consistent, authentic and ongoing intergenerational interaction. Children and elders not only share land, but also share their lives with one another as they connect, learn and grow.
Our aim is to connect those who are just entering this great world of human thought with those who have the most experience in it.
Barbara and Jessica Langford are a mother and daughter team who were inspired to create this wonderful intergenerational model after experiencing the progression of ageing in Barbara’s much loved parents (Jessica’s grandparents). Join us as we share our story, our progress and our vision.
