Program Update
New students joined the preschool. The older children welcomed the new children after learning how and why it is important to do so. During the first month of school, teachers taught students about the environment, including the different animal sounds and field trees. Classes and activities continued as planned, providing parents and guardians with support and advice in the proper care of their young children, and providing children with a safe environment, at least one nutritious meal a day, and quality preschool education, including health awareness, eco-awareness, diversity awareness, and basic communication technologies.

New Year Festival
Building Community
Every year we celebrate the new year in April with a festival. Teachers informed parents about how they could help. According to their instructions, parents made two houses for conducting the children’s games. There were many New Year’s games, and every child participated.
Children received presents from the preschool, and LB Finance company offered presents for the children as well. Some villagers and parents participated in the event. Madam Minerva participated as the chief guest. The children acted out their different characters in a particular event well, and it was very funny.
The assistance from parents, especially the fathers, and the mothers who made New Year’s meals for the preschool, helped the event to be successful. The children were very happy on that day.
