What Happens if You Put a Preschool in a Nursing Home?

What happens when a preschool is housed inside a nursing home? The upcoming documentary “Present Perfect” gives us a glimpse into just that. The filmmakers follow elderly residents at The Mount in Seattle, Washington as they interact with preschoolers who attend class within the walls of the retirement center.

And from the looks of the trailer, the combination of young and old is priceless!

She loves little kids.

She plays board games and card games with them.

She colors with them.

My nephew's wife just had their first baby girl.

My mother is so happy.
