What Makes Us Special
Experiencing the World With All Senses
Saulės Gojus private kindergarten in Vilnius follows a distinctive educational philosophy based on Howard Gardner‘s theory of multiple intelligences and our team‘s ideas. We have created a kindergarten where children grow without stress and develop at their own pace and to the best of their ability. Our kindergarten focuses on experiential education because it stimulates curiosity, develops skills and allows children to explore the world with all their senses and to express themselves.
One of the biggest advantages of Saulės Gojus is the comprehensiveness of education, which allows children‘s abilities to develop and to perceive themselves as an integral part of the world. Children learn through hands-on experiences, exploring the environment, observing the change of seasons and taking part in stimulating educational activities. All these experiences help children to become emotionally strong, empathetic and self-confident individuals, ready to continue growing and learning.
Natural Bilingualism in Kindergarten
In many countries, language learning starts at pre-school age, and this is no accident. Research and educators’ experience show that early language learning has a lasting positive effect on a child’s development. That’s why in our kindergarten, by using the natural immersion method, kindergarteners start learning a foreign language as early as in their third year of life: at this age, it happens naturally, seemingly effortlessly, and the skills they acquire last a lifetime. The benefits of bilingualism are obvious: it improves cognitive abilities, memory and concentration. Moreover, learning a new language helps a child to think more flexibly and broadly, to communicate more confidently and to adapt to different social situations. The ability to think in another language builds self-confidence, empathy and cultural awareness.
From a young age, this approach effectively exploits the most receptive stage of children’s development in terms of language acquisition, as early bilingualism allows children to learn a language in a natural and playful way, almost without noticing it. This is an important prerequisite for the formation of language skills, which helps children to communicate and learn freely and without fear or stress later on.
Exploring the World in a Safe and Welcoming Environment
A kindergarten should be a welcoming and safe space where every child feels accepted, understood and valued. The committed teachers at Saulės Gojus create a warm and supportive environment that ensures children’s emotional security. We believe in the uniqueness of each child, and we care about their individual and holistic development. We provide comprehensive education through artistic, musical and playtime activities, as well as sensory activities that help children to understand themselves and discover their talents and strengths.
The well-being and sustainable education of children is of paramount importance to Saulės Gojus. We are aware that parents are not only interested in the quality of education, but also in their child’s emotional well-being, which is why we create an environment that combines both cognitive and emotional needs. We want our kindergarten to be a place where children are educated with thoughtfulness, care and attention, giving them the opportunity to grow up in a safe and welcoming community. We help children to grow up curious, courageous and independent. Saulės Gojus is the place where exploration of life begins.
Our private kindergarten places great importance on the development of children’s emotional and social skills, as we believe that these skills are an important prerequisite for their future success. Every day, little ones learn to recognise and express their feelings, to understand the emotions of others and to resolve disagreements peacefully. We encourage empathy, compassion and sharing so that children naturally learn to build strong, respectful relationships with peers and adults. We also focus on physical activity as an integral part of everyday life: children spend time outdoors every day, being active and engaging in play. Movement games, sports activities and large motor skills development help to strengthen a child’s physical health as well as their emotional well-being.
