School principal and teacher Ra’eesah Pillay said the day began with a cheerful welcome from the preschool staff, followed by creative activities, such as brightly coloured artwork, beading, and decorating yummy cupcakes, all lovingly created by the children as gifts for their grandparents. “We wanted to create a moment where generations could connect and share in the joy of learning and play. Grandparents are such an important part of our children’s lives, and today was about celebrating that bond.”
