Description

In Utena region there is lack of children's day care center services and qualified specialists. The Project goal is to raise children's prosperity and opportunities in the Community of Utena by opening the children‘s day care center named 'The Bridge'. The project will thereby create a safe and cosy environment for the visitors to the new center, expand its scope and improve the quality of services provided in Utena's regional centres, as well as to strengthen the cooperation and skills of interested and involved people, such as employees, volunteers, and representatives of authorities, throughout the region. Following the project's implementation the new children day care center will offer new services for the visitors and their families, ensuring that accessibility of these services and the amount of recipients will increase. The new services will particularly target children from risk groups and their families, and employees and other interested parties will enhance their skills in working with these risks groups.
