What do you get when you combine a senior care center with a preschool? Undeniable cuteness and lives being "transformed."
The Intergenerational Learning Center is a preschool that is built into Providence Mount St. Vincent, a senior care center in Seattle.
Five days of out the week, the children and seniors come together to participate in a variety of group activities, like dancing or storytelling.
The experiences both groups share is being made into a documentary called Present Perfect by filmmaker Evan Briggs.
She recently launched a Kickstarter to help raise money for the film, reaching her goal of $50,000 with weeks still to go.
Briggs told ABC News that the seniors' interactions with the children light up their lives.
"Moments before the kids came in, sometimes the people seemed half-alive, sometimes asleep. It was a depressing scene," Briggs said. "As soon as the kids walked in for art or music or making sandwiches for the homeless or whatever the project that day was, the residents came alive."
The film's name, Present Perfect, is a reference to the short amount of precious time in which the two groups' lives will overlap.
"It's also about being in the present moment," Briggs said, "something so many adults struggle with."
