TEACHERS, children and parents of the Municipal Day Care Services and four private day care services took to the streets of Georgetown in high spirits on Friday, in celebration of Guyana’s Golden Jubilee.Dressed in brightly hued tee-shirts and headdresses of the colours of the national flag, the entourage moved off from the Middle Street entrance of the Promenade Gardens and headed west into

Main Street. And in spite of the occasional showers, the revelry would continue as the children, jumping and waving excitedly as they followed the lead of their teachers, headed east along Church Street and turned north into Carmichael Street, on their way back to the Promenade Gardens.

Paulette Bollers, Director of the Municipal Day Care Services, said the children’s participation in this event is significant in that it helps sensitise them on the importance of Guyana’s independence.

“This is history, and we want our children to be aware (of) and (be) a part of this important celebration,” she said.

The Georgetown Municipality has five day care centres under its charge. Those centres are located at Industrial Site, South Road, Festival City, Charlestown and East Ruimveldt.
