On Saturday December 3rd the Estrellas #2 preschool in Barrio Felipe y Mery Barreda held its graduation ceremony for children who have completed 3 years of pre-school.

Parents are anxious for their children to complete three years of preschool bcause it means the children can start primary level education at the age of 6 instead of having to wait until they are seven.
