ADAPTATION OF THE SAN PEDRO CHILDREN'S CENTER - OTAVALO
June 22, 2018
We have already started to plan the work to be done at the children's center of San Pedro, starting June 4, the preparation officially begins. Both Educators and parents will be involved in the tasks that need to be done. Before starting the work, we determined that it’s necessary to create a division between the classroom, dining room, and play area, especially because of the use of heat/fire in the kitchen. Because of this, we will build a wall to create divisions.
Tile was put in in the fourth-cycle classroom, dining room, kitchen, and hallway. Other flooring was installed in the first, second, and third cycle.
As of right now, the children's center will continue to run in old classrooms (that are very small) until the work has been completed.
From the 22nd to the 30th of June volunteers from "FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH FROM PLANO-TEXAS, DISCIPLES OF CHRIST" will help in necessary adjusting and reinforcing of the tile flooring, and in painting various areas of the children's center. We are very happy and excited that very soon 40 of our children will enjoy a warm and friendly atmosphere in their new children's center.
