The Kings School Robin Hills Preschool recently hosted a VIP Tea, formerly known as Grandparents’ Tea, bringing together grandparents and their little ones.

Grandparents came out in numbers to support and celebrate their grandchildren. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as the young learners proudly entertained their special guests with songs, dances, poems and cheerful performances.

The morning brought smiles to everyone’s face.

Preschool principal Alison Sigerson explained that they used to call it Grandparents’ Tea, but now realise that many families live overseas, prompting the name change to VIP Tea.

“We celebrate the grandparents, and if the grandparents aren’t around, then we celebrate somebody other than moms and dads,” Sigerson said. “They come together, and we bless them with delicious food and drinks, then we put on a beautiful show for them.”

The event was more than a fun gathering; it offered a special opportunity to recognise and appreciate the important role grandparents play in children’s lives.

The children were thrilled to have their grandparents watching and cheering them on, while the grandparents treasured every moment spent with their little stars.

Sigerson said the day is also important for the learners. “I was telling the children that without their grandparents, there would be no here. But also, the day was really just important for connection, I think, for special one-on-one time for the grandparents and the grandchildren without the parents.”

The morning proved to be a celebration of family, connection and the bond between generations.
