About us
We are creating today‘s and tomorrow’s education. Ability to collect information is not a hard task for all of us, but it is crucial to be able to choose the information. In today‘s society it is important to not just follow orders, but also to take initiative in creation of our future‘s success.

Contextual Education

Teacher of Katino Dienelės is like a guide, catalyst or a navigator, who is helping children to constantly improve, thus our education system is flexible, adapting to each child’s needs, interests, and environmental context. Child is at the centre of Katino Dienelės educational process. Contextual education is a part of individualization and differentiation. A child is learning when new information makes sense to them, teachers pay attention to children’s age, their abilities, child’s experience, ability to concentrate, the situation of their family, needs.
Independent self-directed education

Learning through playing

During the game we are learning collaboration, team work, communication, leadership, solving conflicts, engineering, curiosity, responsibility, and many more skills needed in life. We learn while playing and we play while learning. That is why in Katino Dienelės we give more time and opportunities for children to get into the real game and to experience more diverse learning.

Children are served breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. They eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day and drink a lot of water. Our menu includes dishes for vegetarians, vegans, gluten- and lactose-intolerant children. It is possible to create individual menus according to the needs of the child (allergies).
UNIFORMS
We are proud to wear Katino Dienelės logo on our chest every day, because we believe in benefits of uniforms:
• Self-expression. Uniforms encourage children to focus on self-expression, personality, and not appearance.
• Saving time. Children know, what clothing they should put on and it becomes a part of the daily routine, which assures easier preparation in the mornings.
• Hygiene. We noticed, that in the classes, where children were wearing uniforms daily, morbidity was lower, rather than in classes, where children were not wearing uniforms.
• Equality. It might get difficult to escape comparison between children of what they are wearing. Wearing nursery ‘s uniform we can assure the feeling of equality.
• Safety. Especially in Japan, it is usual, that each class wears one certain colour jackets, that on trips (especially when there are many children) it would be easier for teachers to assure the safety of children.
• Affordability. We have a selection of uniforms, which ‘s price varies from 3 to 23 euros.
• Unity. Uniforms help for children to feel united. Since teachers are also wearing uniforms, there is a good community being created in the nursery.
• Comfort. Uniforms are comfortable, materials are soft and feels good on skin.
• Self-discipline. Children understand that in certain atmospheres and situations we need to act or look accordingly.
• Proudness. Children are proud to be wearing uniforms. They recognise the logo of nursery, notices teachers, key chains, showing to the logo on their own clothing they say: „Look, I have the logo too “.

Mission and vision

“Katino Dienelės“ – accredited international primary school in Vilnius, educating under the general primary and Cambridge programs. School‘s goal – a person who thinks and creates. “Katino Dienelės” community has been getting stronger and growing together for four years. Together we nurtured school’s vision, where children could continue child’s self-directed education created by education specialist in the bilingual learning environment. We are creating international community for families which learn outside the box, creatively. We believe that children are personalities worth respect, trust, and opportunity to learn by their own personal abilities and interests.
In “Katino Dienelės“ school we make sure that we do not obscure a child's natural learning paths, the biggest challenge for our educators is to create a learning environment which would encourage child’s curiosity, desire to learn through the game, and other ways by trying to show their potential, to show their shine. Child’s self-directed education is crucial for us, when education happens by child’s independent initiative – they choose activities that are interesting for them, learn through their own personal experience.
Children’s education is focused on democratization, which relies on natural environment’s creation, honest and warm communication with children, without limiting their free will to choose, close connection and communication with parents, fair and focused working methods and techniques of staff, which encourage child’s individuality, independence, will to choose, development of responsibility, and personal improvement.

Principal’s welcome

There is no greater gift than opportunity.
I want to warmly invite everyone to the international school of Cat Days! We are very excited to finally open the doors of a primary school where every member of the team, every child and their family is valued. We teach in an inclusive, creative, caring, bilingual environment. We strive for excellence, we respect excellence and we are fully committed – we will demonstrate this through our communication and achievements in the international community. We believe that it is very important to establish the "foundation" of core values: cooperation, respect, responsibility and creativity.
Katino Dienelės mission guides us towards success and to a bright future. We are a young school, but our teachers are professional and passionate about their teaching! They are always seeking innovative and better ways to improve their practice. Our prepared learning environment also provides opportunities so that our students can become future leaders in this interconnected world.
Having an international community with different nationalities, being a Lithuanian-English language school, we highly value exclusivity and togetherness - not only teachers, but also parents are included in the children's learning process. Only thanks to extremely close cooperation with teachers, children and parents can we achieve the best results. It allows children to take responsibility for their own learning, develop personal motivation and unlock their full potential.
At Katino Dienelės we strive for excellence in all areas of our school. Our students and staff are happy, engaged and empowered in the process of learning and teaching. Join KD family now!
Warm regards,
Asta Jagelo
