The Janardo Kindergarten, located in the parish of Marrazes and Barosa, Leiria, will officially reopen on October 16th at 5:00 PM. The facility had been closed for nine years and underwent a renovation project promoted by the Municipality of Leiria. The space now includes two preschool education rooms, which will strengthen educational offerings in an area of the municipality that has seen an increase in its school-aged population.
This reopening is part of the municipal strategy to reorganize the school network, addressing the needs identified by the educational community and the growing demand for educational institutions in the catchment area of the Agrupamento de Escolas de Marrazes. The renovation carried out by the Municipality involved the recovery and adaptation of the building, as well as repairs to damage caused by adverse weather, ensuring the necessary conditions for children's reception.
The reactivation of the Janardo Kindergarten, which has been operational since last September, now allows children to be accommodated in the two preschool rooms that previously operated at the Escola Básica dos Pinheiros. This reorganization, developed in coordination with the educational community and in response to family needs, aims to optimize the distribution of students across educational institutions and alleviate pressure on other school facilities in the area.
