History

        Šilutė nursery-kindergarten “Žvaigždutė” was established on the 1st September, 1972 and it started to operate on the 1st December, 1972. From 1972 to 1982 three principles worked in the organisation: Jūratė Pranulienė, Jadvyga Verikienė, Svetlana Čeikauskienė. The organisation had 12 groups, 280 children and 68 staff members.         Since  the 1st October, 1982, Stasė Viršilienė has been the head of the institution. Changes of principles pre-conditioned changes of staff members. Competent staff members willing to improve their competencies remained in the kindergarten. Changes started in 1985-1989: patrons were assigned to the organisation, they included the head of “Šilutė Roads Board“ E. Lisauskas and the head of “District Construction Organisation” A. Balčytis. Their efforts resulted in a great support to organisation, including 3 apartments for pedagogues with 2 of them of a dormitory type. Repair works were performed: the yard basement was demolished and a new building with a garage and a carpentry workshop was constructed. Two corpuses of the kindergarten were connected. A hall and a gym were set in the new building. In the internal yard a swimming pool and a greenhouse were set.         Until 1995 Šilutė nurery-kindergarten “Žvaigždutė” was subordinate to Šilutė Municipality, but afterwards the governing agency changed to Šilutė District Municipality and the kindergarten started to perform economic and financial activities as an independent organization. A car for delivering food and household goods was provided to the kindergarten and the position of a driver was established.         In 1996 Šilutė District Municipality Board endorsed artistic education in the kindergarten. The kindergarten organised exhibitions, activity presentations in the District and the whole Republic. The publication “Artistic education in the nursery-kindergarten “Žvaigždutė“ was released. Pedagogues got together in creative groups: artistic, informational, communication with families and preparation for school. Some of them have been currently functioning. Their experience was summarised in the publication “Activities of creative groups” in 1999.         In 2002-2003 pre-primary education model was launched. Academic education grew into creative complex education. Pre-primary Education Consultation Centre was established in the kindergarten and new methodology publication “On the way to pre-primary education” was released. Since 2005 we have been participating in the international programme for educating social skills “Zippy’s friends”. Pre-school education programme “Childhood steps” was launched in 2007. Since 2010 there have been 11 groups (3 nursery, 6 kindergarten and 2 pre-primary groups. In the same year the Methodology Centre was established with the European Union financial support (interactive whiteboard, computer equipment). In 2011 Family School aimed at 1-3 years old children who hadn’t attended the kindergarten yet and their parents was established. Activities are focused on family education, preparation to attending kindergarten and decreasing the issues of adaptation. The publication “Family School” was released. In 2013 the kindergarten participated in the national competition “Innovative models for organizing pre-school education” and funds were allocated for the project “Summer without worries”. In 2010-2015 the first renovation stage was implemented: insulation of the heating, plumbing system, walls and roof was carried out.         In 2015-2017 the kindergarten renovation was completed: insulation of the building was performed, the playgrounds for groups including outdoor ones were repaired, and furniture was purchased.
