Life Long Learning
At Williamsburg life-long learning is important. Not only is it fun, but it also helps protect our memory and provides the opportunity to have fun social interactions and hands-on fun. Using all five senses to learn about all kinds of things and places help use different areas of the brain, making the learning more enriching.
We offer both “in-house” and community education opportunities geared to all of our Grandfriends. Two of our favorites at Williamsburg are ” Williamsburg University” and “Williamsburg Travels Around the World”. Each of these education sessions happens once a month, and use all of your senses. For example, a Univeristy topic may be “Volcanoes”. We would include both a power point presentation with video of real volcanoes, learn about the different types, and learn/refresh vocabulary. This would also include handouts that can be taken home and worksheets that can be handed in for prize drawings. We also make a volcano and enjoy hot molten lava cake. Usually, there are “take homes” as well. A take home for this would be real lava rocks. The same principal is used when we talk about places in our Williamsburg Travels Around the World!
Education is such a vital at any age, and it’s fun. Come visit us and participate in the fun!
