At the handover ceremony, the Metropolitan Director of Education, Sally Nelly Coleman, thanked the assembly for the facility and noted that it would improve early childhood education in the community.
She was happy that the facility, which had a resting area and a bathhouse, would go a long way to aid teaching and learning.
She said only trained teachers would be posted to the centre to ensure quality in the children's early childhood development.
She appealed to parents to enroll their children in the school to enable them to pick up early in learning and also assist the school authorities in regular maintenance of the facility, to enable them to benefit from other developmental infrastructure for the school.
Good foundation
The Metropolitan Chief Executive, Abdul-Mumin Issah, for his part, said that a good educational foundation was essential to the overall educational ladder.
