The kindergarten was built in 1969. It is designed for 114 children. In 2017, the facility underwent major repairs. However, in 2022, the building of the kindergarten was heavily damaged by the hostilities as a result of the invasion of Russian invaders. The roof was damaged, 78 windows out of 86 were broken, and almost all the doors — both entrance and interior — were smashed. The facade and walls were also damaged. Inventory and office equipment were partially stolen and partially damaged.

The military administration notes that after the opening of the repaired institution, it will be able to accommodate 120 children at a time.

«Parents have already enrolled the first hundred children. This shows that local families want to stay at home, work, raise children and live a normal life,» the statement said.
