The real "Gorodok" of childhood appeared on the map of Vitebsk in Bilyovo

An unusual gift – a real childhood "Town" – was presented to the young residents of the Bilevo microdistrict by the city authorities and a foreign investor company. The handover certificate for the completed building was signed by Tatyana Kuzmich, Head of the Education Department of the Pervomaisky District Administration, and a representative of the investor company.

It was built in record time using advanced technologies not only in construction but also in equipment. It is environmentally friendly. Single-story. Floor-to-ceiling windows with doors that open directly onto the playground.

– For the last two years, we have been trying to move away from traditional projects and introduce something unusual, colorful, and more convenient, – noted Alexander Subbotin, Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee. – We will choose the best, build the most optimal, convenient, and beautiful. This kindergarten is equipped in a modern way, and it is very cozy. There is a swimming pool, sports and music halls, and the corridors and lobbies are also involved in the educational process. It even smells of wood inside! I think the kindergarten will welcome our young residents at the beginning of next year.

The new preschool institution is designed for 190 children, for whom 10 groups are fully equipped. Staff has been hired. So, the housewarming is just around the corner, – believes the headmistress Tatyana Savelyeva:

– All the furniture, textiles, and carpets in the kindergarten are of domestic production. We have a large laundry complex with modern energy-efficient equipment. In the kitchen, chefs can prepare about 2000 dishes per shift. Heated lockers are installed in the changing rooms, which will allow the children's clothes to always remain dry during the autumn-winter period.

The entire space is a real children's "Town" with cottage-type houses, which hold many surprises.

– Our company has practically created a new industry in construction in Belarus – wooden panel housing construction. This kindergarten is built entirely from wooden panels manufactured at the Shklov Paper Mill, – said Denis Matveenko, chief engineer of the investor company. – They are easy to assemble and significantly reduce construction time. The kindergarten is energy-efficient. Its design includes 260-millimeter wall insulation. On the roof, the insulation thickness reaches 600 millimeters. Consequently, the energy costs for maintaining the building are much lower. At the design stage, we tried to provide for the placement of all utilities. While standard designs for children's institutions include separate bedrooms, here the area is combined into a children's group, resulting in twice the space. The groups are equipped with supply and exhaust ventilation of Belarusian production, which regulates the carbon dioxide level in the air. A barrier-free environment has been created in the building based on the principle of zero elevations.

Mini-cottages have been built in the play hall: a library, a cafe, a shop, equipped with wooden furniture. The walls in them are interactive, with embedded games.

We hope that our kindergarten will bring a lot of joy to the young residents of Vitebsk.
