This pre-school nursery is in an old people’s home.
Just take a minute to think about that. Young children and elderly people being cared for together. Interacting together. Teaching each other.
Genius, isn’t is?
But this isn’t just some Utopian dream, this set-up actually exists.
The Providence Mount St. Vincent care home in Seattle is home to 400 elderly residents. It’s also home to a nursery for children aged 16 weeks to 3-years-old.
Providence Mount St. Vincent (or The Mount as it’s known) is currently in the spotlight thanks to a documentary called Present Perfect, which explores the experience of growing up and growing old in America.
