In the Moskovsky district of Kazan, the kindergarten No.279 “Malyshok” for
200 children opened after the renovation. The preschool has changed beyond
recognition: bright, comfortable rooms, a new gym, and classrooms for
creativity were designed for the kids. In addition, thanks to the overhaul, a
nursery group was opened. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin inspected the
quality of renovation. “We visited the preschool before the renovation,
discussed together with teachers and parents the plans. All the plans managed
to come to life, now there are brand new conditions. This is a real little
palace for kids”, - he said.
“Due to the renovation, a sports hall was designed at
the preschool, a nursery group was opened– the Mayor noted. – And not only the
building was repaired, but also the adjacent territory was landscaped. It is
good that all the trees have been preserved. We are satisfied with the results
of the work”. Olga Fedotova, head of the kindergarten, told the Mayor that the
building is equipped with a security system, CCTV cameras, and a panic button.
The kindergarten was built in 1969 and has never been
overhauled. During this time, the requirements for preschool facilities have
changed. The work started in May last year. A professional designer developed
the project.
Presently, there are 180 children and 10 groups in the
preschool.
“We have five groups on the ground floor, all rooms
are equipped with floor heating for children, - O.Fedotova added. – We also
have everything provided for toddlers from the nursery group: comfortable
bedrooms, beds and other furniture. All equipment meet the safety conditions:
for example, the corners of the furniture are rounded”.
The head of the city inspected the kindergarten,
visited the new gym and talked with the pupils. After the renovation, new
educational classes opened– children can learn the basics of animation for an extra
charge. As O.Fedotova informed the Mayor, the kids with the help of teachers, make
heroes of modelling clay, shoot them on the phone and create cartoons. One of
these animated pictures, created by pupils of a preschool, was presented to the
head of the city. “The idea is wonderful. The main thing is that children
develop”, - I.Metshin said.
Another feature of the kindergarten is the relaxation
room, where children can relax after classes, and also get to know the flora
and fauna better. The children learn to take care of the fish and sea turtles
that live in the aquarium, and also study the Japanese art of bonsai, said
teacher Lilia Ismagilova.
In total, 15 preschool facilities have been renovated
in Kazan under the renovation program this year, the Mayor noted. “The
improvement of preschools for 2,500 young Kazan residents was carried out, - the
head of the city added. – We will continue this work. Let the kids grow up healthy,
develop, and make happy their parents and all of us”.
