Resumo: (children)
Pedagogy and philosophy of our work?
The pedagogic is based on Catholic principles in this project. It means, that we, educators and children:
● Start the day with short prayer and have prayers before meals
● Have short Catholic teachings once a week. Nowadays we have ten weeks with The Ten Commandments. Each Monday we have a teaching about one commandment, and during other days of the week we develop topics and tasks that are somehow related with the main topic. For example, if we talk about commandment You must not misuse the name of theLord your God, all week we talk
about our names – what are the meaning of the names, how parents decided to chose this name and etc.
● Have projects from topics from the Bible. For example we are reading, discussing, dancing, and playing the theater about the Noah ark
● Celebrate catholic fiestas (Like Easter, Christmas and etc.).
The project appeals to the teaching of Catholic Church and Christian values, so it would be nice that these values would be acceptable for volunteers, but we are open to every young person.

How we work every day?
Daily activities are based on non formal education. This is kindergarten, not a school with strict tasks, most of the time children are playing and we stimulate them to be creative during these free games and we teach them how to behave in the group, how to respect and take care of each other. To conclude - we want let the kids to feel homey and enjoy their age and childhood.

What are the main characteristics of children?
The age of children are 2-6 years, so they speak only Lithuanian, some of them just started to develop their language skills.

Our approach to volunteers? Or what expectations do we have?
● The role of adults to preschool children is very important. They need to have someone to consult about something they are curious at the moment, to show what they have done or created (look, I build a car) or just to feel safe and to know that someone who can take care of you is always near. We see You as an adult, who, at the very beginning is the one, who just tries to be close the kids, say labas (Hello), observe the games kids are playing, to show for kids, that you are the person who takes care about their safety, so they can trust you.
● After this beginning phase, you will be able step by step to develop contacts and friendships with kids and INVOLVE in their games and simple chats – just play together.
● We, educators, are also the ones, who take care about the daily living needs, so, we really need You to help us with these daily duties, such as making beds, dishes, dress the kids and etc
