Cruz de la Cruz remarked that all the facilities favor more than 300 school children at an early age, a task that has been supported by sectors and entities such as the Domestic Commerce, Public Health and the Construction Material Company (Médano).

These capacities help to meet the demand for places in children’s day-care centers, an objective only reached by the municipalities of Báguanos, Banes, Frank País and Gibara, which joins the group with the opening of the Luces Martianas little house, located in the town of Uñas -Gibara municipality-, she pointed out.

Early childhood education in Holguín is developed in 65 children’s circles and more than 20 small houses, where around 10 thousand children are oriented and prepared to be useful members of society, with the collaboration of the community.
