Childcare facilities to be constructed in Regions Three, Four

Early-stage development of children living in Regions Three and Four will be advanced, as two new day and night care facilities are scheduled to be constructed soon.

The new facilities will expose children to a variety of early development educational learning activities. The construction for the two facilities will commence as soon as the bidding process is complete.

The government believes that offering reliable day and night care services will significantly ease the burden on parents, enabling them to pursue their careers with peace of mind.

Additionally, the establishment of these facilities will generate employment opportunities, further benefitting the local community and contributing to the region’s economic growth.
