President Ilham Aliyev has attended the opening of a kindergarten built in Ismayilli on the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

The head of state cut the ribbon symbolizing the official opening of the facility.

The President was informed that the kindergarten can handle up to 200 children. The state-of-the-art facility occupies a total area of 524 square metres. It houses a medical room and a gym fitted with necessary facilities and toys. There is a 120-seat canteen. A bedroom and a playing room have been designed to children's taste. Taking into consideration that the children will spend major part of the day in the kindergarten, the bringing up and education of children were taken as an important factor.

Special attention was paid to ensuring intellectual, physical and mental development of children, discovering their talents and abilities, and protecting their health. An ornamental fence was installed and playgrounds created in the yard of the kindergarten. The building has cutting-edge infrastructure. All this once again proves that President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva, who has earned global recognition for her noble deeds, pays special attention to children, and tirelessly works to ensure that they are brought up healthy, intellectual and educated. Initiated by president of the Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva, major repair and reconstruction work has been carried out in many educational facilities for children, new kindergartens built both in the capital city and the country's regions in recent years. Such projects are mainly aimed at removing shortcomings in pre-school education system. And the goal has been achieved. The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has embarked on another such program entitled “Development of pre-school education facilities”. It has already been made public.

All these steps are aimed at ensuring Azerbaijan's successful future.
