Within the framework of the project “Inclusive Preschool Education” implemented by the Ministry of Education, with a loan from the World Bank, three study rooms were adapted in the Primary Educational Institution “Naša radost”, Municipality of Krupanj, in Bela Crkva, Kostajnik and Dvorska.
The main activity of the institution is realized through the implementation of full-day stay from nursery to PPP, Preparatory Preschool Program for 4 hours, as permanent forms of work and through various types of special and other forms of work and services. In the working year 2024/2025. the institution uses the central facility in Krupanj and 9 study rooms at primary schools in the territory of the municipality of Krupanj. The total number of groups in which the activity is carried out is 19, and includes a total of 385 children.
Given that children have been living in inadequately equipped premises for many years, thanks to the Ministry of Education, through the project “Inclusive Preschool Education”, children and employees now live in spaces that have been renovated with high quality and functionality. This donation has improved the conditions for living and working with children.
The Ministry of Education, through a loan from the World Bank, through the project “Inclusive Preschool Education”, allocated part of the funds and adapted 3 study rooms, thus enabling children from rural areas to have the same living conditions as their peers in urban facilities.
This is not an investment only in children who are currently in kindergarten, but also in future generations, who will grow and develop in it.
Also, space adaptation works have been carried out in all rooms in the form of whitewashing, replacement and installation of new vinyl floors, repair, replacement and planing of parquet. A toilet for our youngest children was added to each room. Old and worn-out windows and all interior joinery were replaced in all three locations in Bela Crkva, Dvorska and Kostajnik. More than 5 million dinars were invested in the works for the complete adaptation.

The Ministry of Education, within the project “Inclusive Preschool Education”, has completed the adaptation of the space within the “Ivo Lola Ribar” Primary School in Veliko Gradište, as part of the building in the regional department in the village of Požeženo. This space was previously a teacher’s apartment, and for several years the space had no purpose. The space was adapted with the aim of housing a preschool group in the village of Požeženo. The works, worth over 3 million dinars, included the complete adaptation of the space of the former apartment (a room, a hallway, a bathroom, another smaller room, and an external staircase or entrance to the building). Some redundant walls were demolished, The rest were completely renovated, the ceilings were lowered, new floors were installed, the bathroom was completely renovated and the sanitary
units were installed, the entrance to the building was renovated, and the electrical installation.

All this was done to create a safe and stimulating environment for preschool children. Playing and spending time with peers from the earliest days are very important for the proper growth and development of every child. Through the implementation of this project, we have created an adequate environment for children to learn and spend time. The group is planned to accommodate about 20 children aged 3 to school age, who live in this village.
In the new space, children will have the conditions for quality care as well as for developing a realistic program in accordance with the Program Foundations.

During the works, the municipality of Veliko Gradiste decided to co-finance the project and allocated additional funds for the adaptation of the adjacent classroom for lower-grade children, which enabled the renovation of a practically complete building and the provision of high-quality and safe space for children.
