He is the father of our children

When International Children’s Day (June 1) draws near every year, the days when Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un visited our kindergarten come to my mind.

As he satisfactorily looked at the children frolicking at the courtyard during his visit to our kindergarten which sprang up modernly in Changjon Street on May 30 2012 before International Children’s Day, the Supreme Leader suddenly said that children might get hurt when they fell down on the courtyard paved with pitch and took a measure on the spot.

Therefore, a large area of the yard was covered with rubber mats, turfs were laid on the playground and some ten amusement facilities were added to the yard and the interior.

On July 14, less than two months since then, the Supreme Leader dropped in at the kindergarten again and looked round different places.

At the general playing room consisting of sections for playing at housekeeping and doctor and doing jigsaw, that for playing with construction sets and that of rural landscape, he said it was built well to meet the juvenile mind, and even underwent a “medical examination” from a child doctor in a white gown hanging a stethoscope around her neck at the section for playing at being a doctor.

After making the rounds of the kindergarten, he expressed satisfaction, saying all spaces from floor to ceiling turned into an education-oriented environment and it was properly built to develop the children’s intelligence to the maximum on the basis of deep research into their psychology.

That day he saw the calligraphy of children and had a photograph taken with those playing at the room of physical exercise.

Many fathers fail to visit the kindergarten of their children.

However, the Supreme Leader visited the kindergarten two times in 2012 alone and cared about the matters even we teachers and parents had failed to think of, though he was busy working day and night while shouldering the heavy burden of the country alone.

So, we hanged a picture of the Supreme Leader among our children on the wall of the entrance hall of our kindergarten.
