On Monday it was Goodstart Brisbane Streets turn to spread the joy, with a busload of four and five year olds putting on a song and dance, before handing out some home-made cards and gifts.
Wellbeing and lifestyle manager Leanda Greacen said residents have been really enjoying the school visits and mingling with the younger generations.
“We have been very lucky to have so many school groups visit us this season,” she said.
“I gives our residents a real sense of Christmas cheer without having to leave the facility.”

For those that are able, Tamworth Buslines have kindly donated a bus service to take residents on a tour of the Christmas lights on Wednesday night, with The Pub catering.
Goodstart educator Nat Storch said the kids also love the experience of singing and dancing to an audience, although there is a much more valuable lesson being taught as well.
“We have been learning about kindness towards others recently, especially around the Christmas season and giving,” she said.
“The kids have been really excited about coming here, and talking about it a lot.
“This is the first year we have done it, and it is something we would like to do every year.”
