As part of the project “Inclusive Preschool Education and Care” implemented by the Ministry of Education, with a loan from the World Bank, 4 educational rooms were equipped in PU “Decje Carstvo”, in the territory of the municipality of Velika Plana.

The preschool institution “Decije carstvo” has been in existence since 1977, providing educational services to children aged 1 to 6. Across several facilities within the entire municipality, educational work is conducted in a total of 53 groups. In the current year, 1,146 children have been enrolled.

Through the “Inclusive Preschool Education and Care” project, the capacities of “Decije Carstvo” were expanded, addressing waiting lists for specific facilities and significantly improving the quality of space and conditions for children’s stay in kindergartens.

The Ministry of Education, utilizing the World Bank loan within the project, allocated funds and fully equipped four classrooms. This enhancement enables the enrollment of 50 preschool-age children and 30 nursery-age children. The project extends its reach to rural areas, including Lozovik and Donja Livadica. With the support of the Ministry of Education, the preschool institution and the municipality of Velika Plana are committed to enhancing the fairness and availability of preschool upbringing and education, particularly for children from vulnerable groups.

The rooms are furnished with carefully selected furniture, toys, didactics, consumables, picture books, and books, all chosen with special attention to meeting the needs of different age groups.
