«We are launching this year’s renovation program for social facilities. This kindergarten in the Novo-Savinovsky city district was built in 1972. Over the past half-century, some repairs have been made here, but it's time to comprehensively renovate both the premises and the engineering systems. The «Family» national project will allow us to address this issue in a comprehensive way», – the Mayor said.

He added that the capital of Tatarstan ensures that the facilities built many years ago are no less comfortable than new kindergartens and meet the highest requirements. This autumn, children and parents will be able to enjoy the renovated facilities.

Some of them have had their conditions improved, others have had their capacity increased, thus creating new places for preschool children. However, even more buildings need repairs, and despite the work done so far, there is still no time or opportunity to rest», – Ilsur Metshin emphasized.

Kindergarten № 302 has two buildings. During the renovation, 300 children will be temporarily relocated to the second building located on Golubyatnikova Street, which is located almost across from the main building. Comprehensive work was already carried out there in 2021 –2022, and the children will find it comfortable to study there, said the head of the kindergarten Rezeda Vafina.

The facility on Yaroslava Gasheka Street was built in 1972. Since then, only minor repairs have been made there. It is planned to repair the roof, facade, ground floor, porch, windows, entrance doors, fire escapes, and other areas. Additionally, the food hall, engineering systems, changing rooms, and other premises will be comprehensively upgraded, new furniture and equipment will also be purchased. The design project was developed by specialists from the Kazan Development Institute and is currently undergoing approval.
