Developing the Skills of Preschool Children

Under the guidance of Her Worship the Mayor of the Colombo Municipal Council, a Reading Day was organized on 15th July 2025 at the Mayor's Official Residence for children attending preschools managed by the Colombo Municipal Council.

This event was a collaborative effort between the Public Assistance Department and the Public Library, with the aim of nurturing the creativity and overall development of young children. The day featured a range of engaging activities, including reading books, drawing, singing, and various entertaining programs for preschoolers.

The event was graced by Her Worship the Mayor, Ms. Vraie Cally Balthazaar, the Hon. Deputy Mayor, Mr. Hemantha Kumara, the Charity Commissioner, the Chief Librarian, and officers from the Public Assistance Department and the Public Library.

This initiative reflects the continued commitment of Her Worship the Mayor and the Colombo Municipal Council to support early childhood development. It is their hope and intention to organize more such enriching programs in the future for the benefit of the children in the municipal area.
