Comprehensive integrated services in early childhood are aimed at improving access to education, health protection and development of social skills for children aged from zero to six who do not attend and do not have access to kindergarten or nursery, and live in isolated rural and poor areas with a concentration of problems at risk of poverty, social exclusion and marginalization. The activities planned in this project proposal include the construction of a complex of three centers, offering functional services and contributing to improving the quality of life, social inclusion and early childhood development of children from vulnerable groups.

The complex will offer integrated services - health, social and educational, work with parents and stakeholders.
