🏢 About the local organisation
„Suvalkijos saulytes“ yra ne pelno siekianti organizacija, kurios pagrindinis tikslas yra suvienyti Marijampolėje gyvenančias šeimas, auginančias Dauno sindromą ar autizmo spektro sutrikimus turinčius vaikus. Tai vienas pirmųjų vaikų dienos centrų regione, jungiantis individualius poreikius su vaikais, jų tėvais ir bendruomene. Bendruomenės kūrimas, tolerancijos skatinimas ir žmonių švietimas yra mūsų ilgalaikis ateities planas. Asociacijos „Suvalkijos saulytes“ tikslinės grupės yra šeimos, auginančios specialiųjų poreikių turinčius vaikus. Dienos centras organizuoja ir veda meninius - kūrybinius užsiėmimus, sportinius užsiėmimus. Taip pat vykdomas neformalus švietimas įvairiomis temomis, joga bei muzikos terapija. Mes orientuojamės į vaiko auklėjimo ir ugdymo kokybę, todėl užsiėmimų metu grupės nėra didelės, nuo 6-10 vaikų. Taip pat vyksta ir individualūs užsiėmimai. Centre teikiamos ir logopedo, ergoterapeuto, psichologo konsultacijos.
Vaikų ugdyme labai svarbus ir šeimos įsitraukimas, palaikymas, todėl dienos centre, darbuotojai stengiasi palaikyti ryšį su artimaisiais, konsultuoti iškilusiais vaiko ugdymo klausimais.
"Suvalkijos saulytes" - tai vaikų dienos centras, besiorientuojantis ne į standartinį vaikų neformalųjų ugdymą, o galimybę pamatyti individualius kiekvieno vaiko gebėjimus bei padėti jam rasti savąjį kelią.
