On May 13, a new kindergarten opened its doors in Sofia's Strelbishte neighbourhood. It accommodates 50 children in two groups of 25 each.

Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov opened the new kindergarten number 127, which will be called Zlatnoto pate (Golden Duckling). The City Hall invested 850 000 leva from its budget for the new building.

Another two sections of the kindergarten will be set in the nearby blocks of flats, City Hall spokesperson Tsvetanka Krusteva told The Sofia Echo on May 13. The children to be accepted in the new kindergarten are between three and seven years old, Krusteva said.

The number of places in Sofia kindergartens is some 5000 smaller than the number of children in the Bulgarian capital. With 44 facilities closed in the city over the past 18 years, municipal authorities have struggled to open enough new kindergartens to take in all the children in the rapidly growing city.
