Nowy Sącz municipal kindergarten closures

Overview

City authorities in Nowy Sącz proposed the liquidation of four municipal kindergartens located on Barbackiego, Szujskiego, Krakowska, and Sucharskiego streets. The administration cited demographic shifts, declining enrollment, and the need to reduce expenditures as primary drivers for the plan, which would affect over 22 percent of the city’s municipal facilities.

Following the proposal, the City Council passed resolutions to begin the liquidation process for three of the facilities: Municipal Kindergarten No. 3 on Szujskiego Street, No. 7 on Krakowska Street, and No. 18 on Sucharskiego Street. A separate proposal regarding a kindergarten in the Wólki district was withdrawn after discussions concerning local housing and demographic potential.

The planned cessation of operations for the remaining three facilities is set for August 31, 2027. The decision has faced opposition from local residents and parents, who argue that the closures will cause logistical difficulties for families.
