The church courtyard was crowded: parents and grandparents came to watch their children's song, dance, recitation which the preschool students had learned in their native language during only two months since attending the preschool.

Eugenia Markosyan, director of the Department of Education of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia gave opening remarks. She encouraged them to listen to children's speeches which will make warm their hearts during the cold winter days.

The children recited poems dedicated to this season, sang songs and danced. The senior and junior groups’ students participated in the open lesson. The contribution of the preschool's personnel and parents in the open lesson was obvious.
