TILEAGD CHILDREN's
CENTRE
|
|
 After
the first six months of the Community School operation, Smiles knew we
needed a pre-school, nursery facility.
Many of the children attending school had never experienced sitting in
class, listening to a teacher, and added to this, the fact they could
not speak the Romanian language we knew we had a major challenge on
our hands
|
|
 As a result, Smiles brought forward by 12 months, our
desire to open a Nursery for pre-schoolers. The Tileagd Children’s Centre
was our response.
A former communist office and subsequent Orthodox Church office and
home for the priest, Smiles purchased the property in March 2004 and
undertook a major renovation project to convert the building to a
suitable facility for a day care nursery.
|
|
 Opened in September 2004, the Centre’s director,
Lidia now leads a team of 7 staff caring for 32 children
each day. As part of the renovation, an entire bathroom block was
built, so the daily schedule includes, bath time, breakfast, lunch
and lots of fun.
The Tileagd
Children’s Centre has also achieved our objective of integrating
Romanian and Gypsy
children who now happily learn and play together every day. |
|
 As is well acknowledged in the west,
pre-school
develops the child and increases their readiness for grade school better
than anything. Now we have that opportunity in Tileagd, Romania, and the
benefit being felt by the 6 year olds starting school this September is
enormous. They are very grateful to those who enables them to attend
Nursery at the Smiles Children’s Centre in Tileagd. |
More young children are waiting to attend. Please
help us today say ‘Yes’. |
