A core vision of Amy’s work is to build meaningful relationships across generations. Seedlings children visit Maple Springs Retirement Center throughout the month, spending time with residents through shared activities like stories, art, music, and simple conversations.
We also regularly connect with neighbors in our community, including elders we greet and visit with in the park during our outdoor learning days.
Amy invites community members to share something they love, whether it’s a story, a skill, a craft, a lifelong interest, or a simple moment of presence.
These visits and shared experiences create gentle mentorship opportunities, where children learn through listening, observing, and participating alongside older adults.
