Special state preschool education organizations will be established for children under three years of age of women serving sentences in penal institutions.
This is stipulated in the president's resolution No. PQ-395 dated November 12, 2026.
According to the document, starting from December 1, special kindergartens named «Mother and Child Center» will be organized on the basis of the Children's Home attached to penal colony No. 21 under the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as in settlement-colony No. 42.
The centers will operate round-the-clock groups accommodating up to five children. Conditions will be created there for children's living, age-appropriate development, upbringing, and access to medical services.
Children will be provided with food, clothing, footwear, and necessary supplies. The Ministry of Health will organize their timely vaccination and medical examinations.
The National Social Protection Agency will monitor the conditions created for mothers and children every quarter.
