In the village of Kyzyl-Zhildyz, located in the Ayil district of Chayek in the Jumgal region of Naryn Province, a kindergarten named "Jumgal Balastan" has opened, which now operates as a full-fledged preschool institution. This was reported by Turmush, citing the district education department.

For the past three years, the kindergarten operated in a three-hour format, located in the renovated building of an old school. From November to December 2025, to transition to full-time operation, the villagers began raising funds, and a subsidy was also allocated from the local budget. These funds were directed towards purchasing necessary equipment, including kitchen utensils, educational materials, and furniture for sleeping areas.

Within the budget of the Chayek Ayil Okmotu, 650,000 soms were allocated, and local residents raised 113,000 soms. Additionally, many provided items and construction materials as assistance. One of the deputies also purchased beds for the children.

Now the kindergarten can accommodate up to 60 children, and all necessary conditions have been created for them. Furthermore, the district education department has increased the staff, and the issue of salaries has been resolved.

Moreover, there are plans to construct a new two-story kindergarten for 120 places in the same village. This project has already been included in the title list of the Cabinet of Ministers, and a tender for its implementation has been announced. The regional capital construction management has already signed the necessary contracts, and the documents are currently in the approval stage. A plot of land for the new building has been allocated next to the school.
