About GreatSchools’ ratings system and methodology
As an independent nonprofit, our mission at GreatSchools.org is to help all parents get a great education for their children and for communities to ensure that all students get the support they need to succeed. The definition of “success” is as diverse as the millions of parents who visit our site each year, and we strive to display a variety of indicators of school quality to provide a well-rounded picture of how effectively each school serves its students. We understand that the available information doesn’t always reflect parents’ priorities. That’s why we are constantly working to acquire a broader range of information in order to paint a richer picture of school quality and what it means to provide equitable opportunity for all students.
In 2017, we launched our Summary Rating, which is comprised of themed ratings that each reflect important factors in how students experience school, including how well schools serve students from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, how much students are improving within a school year, performance on state tests, and how well schools prepare students for college.
In August 2020, we piloted new methodologies in California and Michigan for both the Summary Rating and the Equity Rating to provide a clearer lens to see how schools serve all children. This new methodology was available nationwide as of September, 2020.

Our approach to ratings
We believe that every parent — regardless of their background — needs reliable information in order to understand whether their child is being served by their school. We recognize that how well a school serves students from historically marginalized populations goes beyond test scores. A mounting body of evidence suggests that in comparison to just end-of-year test scores, student progress — or growth — is a more accurate way to measure how much value a school is adding for its students. (Student progress, or growth, measures how much each child learns in a given year, based on the change in their state test scores from one year to the next. ) This information, when used in combination with other information, such as college readiness measures and test score data, can give parents a better understanding of a school’s quality.
With this in mind, we have added student progress and college readiness metrics to our Equity Rating, and we have updated our overall Summary Rating methodology to emphasize student growth relative to test scores. These changes will help uncover the strengths of schools successfully serving Black, Latinx, Native American and low-income students. We believe this is an important step toward providing richer, multifaceted information that is not only based on research, but also reflective of what parents find meaningful.
Summary Rating
The GreatSchools Summary Rating appears at the top of a school’s profile. Our ratings follow a 1-10 scale, where 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Ratings at the lower end of the scale (1-4) signal that the school is “below average,” 5-6 indicate “average,” and 7-10 are “above average. ”
The Summary Rating calculation is based on four ratings, each of which is designed to show different facets of school success: the Student Progress Rating or Academic Progress Rating, College Readiness Rating, Equity Rating, and Test Score Rating. The ratings for each school vary based on data availability or relevance to a school level (for example, high schools have a College Readiness Rating, but elementary schools do not). We do not produce Summary Ratings for schools if we lack sufficient data. For more about how this rating is calculated, see the Summary Rating inputs and weights section below.
Note: Some states do not have sufficient information to generate a Summary Rating. In these states, we default to the school’s Test Score Rating as the overall rating displayed at the top of the profile.
Student Progress Rating
The Student Progress Rating (also known as “growth”) measures whether students at a school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the Student Progress Rating measures how much progress individual students have made on state standardized assessments during the past year or more and how this performance aligns with expected progress for that student. Each state department of education establishes a student growth model. The Student Progress Rating shows how this school’s average growth data compares to growth data of other schools in the state. The goal of the Student Progress Rating is to provide transparency into schools that are improving student outcomes regardless of the student’s starting point in terms of academic achievement.
Student Progress data is less common for high schools, because in many states high school students only take state standardized tests in one year. It is also important to note that it is possible for schools with already-high-performing students to receive a high Student Progress Rating, or for schools with high test scores to receive a low Student Progress Rating. Research indicates that growth metrics are a more accurate measure of the value that a school adds for its students because they are less correlated with the socioeconomic background of the student population than test score performance. In the Summary Rating, we give more weight to the Student Progress Rating than the Test Score Rating. see the Summary Rating inputs & weights section below for more information about how this rating is calculated.
For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.
Academic Progress Rating
For states that do not provide publicly available growth data (and therefore rule out the potential for a Student Test Score Rating), we calculate an Academic Progress Rating, a proxy rating based on a model using school-level data instead of student-level data. This data is less common for high schools, since in many states high school students only take state standardized tests in one year, making it difficult to look at grade-to-grade improvement. When student growth data does become publicly available in these states, we will replace the Academic Progress Rating with a Student Progress Rating.
For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.
College Readiness Rating
The College Readiness Rating is designed to measure how well high schools prepare their students for success in college and career, compared to other schools in the state. The rating is based on the high school’s graduation rate, data about college entrance exams (SAT/ACT performance) and/or advanced course information, including enrollment in International Baccalaureate courses, dual-enrollment courses, and Advanced Placement (AP) courses and AP exam passing rates. This rating only applies to high schools.
For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.
Equity Rating
The Equity Rating is designed to measure how well a school serves the academic development of disadvantaged student groups. The rating includes data on 1) how disadvantaged students are performing based on student progress (growth) or academic progress (growth proxy), college readiness (e. g., college entrance exam performance and high school graduation rates), and state proficiency tests, in comparison to the outcomes for all students in the state, and 2) performance gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students in a school. We define disadvantaged students as students from racial, ethnic, and/or socioeconomic groups that show persistent gaps across all schools and outcomes within the state. This allows us to understand how well the school is educating disadvantaged student groups compared to all students, and how these students are performing compared to non-disadvantaged students in each school. A low rating (1–4) may indicate some student groups are not getting the support they need at the school, while a high rating (7–10) may indicate that a school’s disadvantaged groups are doing well.
When the population of a student group is too small to provide reliable data (less than 5% of the total student body), that student group is omitted from the calculation. As a result, some groups may not be included in some charts within the equity sections of the school’s profile.
Some schools do not have a large enough population of disadvantaged students to calculate an Equity Rating (homogeneous schools). These schools do not receive an Equity Rating. Their Summary Rating is therefore composed of the other available data.
For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.
Test Score Rating
The Test Score Rating measures schools on academic proficiency, using performance on state tests (the percentage of students scoring at or above proficiency) across grades and subjects, compared to other schools in the state, to produce a 1-10 rating for each school. This school’s overall Test Score Ratings are displayed in the Academics section on school profiles and are broken out by student group (race/ethnicity and family income) in the Equity section. This rating is an important factor in understanding school quality because it helps reflect how well students are meeting academic proficiency standards set by each state.
For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.
Note: we also display discipline and attendance flags to identify schools with worrisome patterns of out-of-school suspensions and chronic student absenteeism. Creating these flags involves two primary steps: identifying schools with high rates of suspension or absenteeism, and identifying schools with significant differences in suspension or chronic absenteeism rates between students from different race/ethnicity groups. If a school has a flag, it appears in a school’s “Equity” section, under “Race/ethnicity” then toggle to view the “Discipline & attendance” information. These flags do not influence any of the themed ratings or the Summary Rating.
Summary Rating inputs and weights
The Summary Rating calculation is based on up to four of the school’s themed ratings (described above), based on available data. For example, college readiness measures like Advanced Placement classes and college entrance exams are available in most high schools but not elementary or middle schools.
To calculate the Summary Rating, we use weights for each themed rating based on the available data, the amount of information available about the school relative to other schools in the state, the amount of variability in the data, and the extent to which each data point has been proven to be related to student success in college and for long-term life outcomes. The maximum weight for each themed rating is capped to be no more than the Student Progress/Academic Progress Rating weight, regardless of its data availability and quality.
Below are representative examples of how a high school or elementary school’s ratings are weighted within the overall Summary Rating calculation for the school:
Inputs to the Summary Rating are school- and state-specific, depending on data availability. Each of the themed ratings that comprise the Summary Rating may be refreshed as new data becomes available, which in turn may cause the school’s Summary Rating to change. These changes may happen at different times throughout the course of a year. To see when underlying data was updated, click on the Sources information for each rating and flag. Note: rounding of percentages may cause some Summary Rating weights to exceed 100%.
Greater data transparency
At GreatSchools.org, we believe that transparency builds trust. We believe that government education agencies have an obligation to make data on school quality available to parents and the public. Every parent should feel informed and empowered to unlock educational opportunities for their child regardless of their family background. That’s why in recent years, GreatSchools.org has expanded data collection efforts in every state to include various types of school quality data broken down by student groups, including students from low-income families, diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities. These additional data (where available) are now part of GreatSchools.org school profiles and provide a more complete picture of how effectively a school serves all of its students.
Data transparency helps parents know how schools in their community are doing, where there is room for improvement, and what the best options are for their children. Sharing school information — good and bad — also cultivates parent engagement and trust. Additionally, it’s important that school data be made available in accessible, easy-to-use formats so that non-governmental organizations can use the information to inform parents and students about the quality of their local schools.
Our ongoing commitment to offering a broader view of school quality
We are committed to an ongoing evolution of how we can paint a broader picture of school quality that better captures the factors that matter most to parents and that research shows can make a difference in student success. We think the changes we are making to our methodology are a step forward in our ongoing mission to illuminate issues around equity in education. Going forward, we will continue to work in collaboration with research partners and to pursue an expanded definition of school quality that includes information about the resources, opportunities, and practices used in schools, and meaningful outcomes for all students. We will continue to advocate for the quality and types of data needed to help parents understand how schools are doing in their state. Where data is not available, we’ll continue to highlight the need for, and value of, transparency, as we have done for years.

Senior: I’ve absolutely loved my time at College-Prep. It’s the perfect place for students to be challenged intellectually, yet it’s in a safe and welcoming environment. In my experience, there isn’t really a culture of competitiveness/cutthroat environment, but, as with everywhere you go, you’ll undoubtedly find exceptions to the rule. College-Prep has been perfect for me and has been a place where I’ve succeeded. I’ve grown academically, socially, and emotionally, and I am forever grateful for the faculty, peers, and friends I have met along the way.
We get a pretty bad rep for sports, but it’s a great place to try out new sports!

Alum: At Groton, I feel that I have been able to become a more independent and conscientious person during my time at this school. The best thing about this school is the resources that it provides the students. Here, I feel that I can be whoever I like because the teachers, dorm parents, coaches, and community is supportive of everyone’s quirks, interests, and dreams. The teachers are approachable and dedicated, and work hard to provide students with a positive experience and I have made some of the truest and most diverse background friends. However, while at my time here, I have noticed that there is a toxically competitive culture here. Moreover, sometimes it is hard to get leadership positions in clubs because one has to be “connected” or popular, and the unsafe hook-up culture NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

Senior: Truly rigorous classes with students who have a wide range of interests. Nothing can beat a boarding school with a billion dollar endowment that they can use to fund your passion projects and overall academic experience. Living with your classmates in this tiny New Hampshire town really forces you to battle the chem tests and history essays as a team.

Parent: I have friends who are attending various private and public schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area from grades 5 on through 12.

Not only their children but their administration and teachers are out of this world!
Not only did the school literally review replace hundreds of things across the campus, they’ve also implemented a fantastic screening program, testing program, and communications program for SARS-COVID19.
I know that when selecting schools grades, scores and college admissions are the number one priority. I never thought I would pick a school based upon their ability to handle a medical global outbreak.

Senior: Regis is not just a place for academic excellence, but a place where learning go hand-in-hand with personal development and a drive to be impactful. Peers are highly motivated and inspiring, while the dedication of teachers is obvious. I had an amazing experience, and now looking back as a senior all the hard work, long commutes and late nights were absolutely worth it. Regis has a culture where we are all highly supportive of each other and happy for each other’s success. While everyone is highly driven, there is little competition amongst classmates because we understand that helping others make us better individually and collectively. While Regis won’t have the excess of resources other NYC schools, the admin, teachers and students make the very most of prudently chosen opportunities. The full scholarship model has given me much greater appreciation of socioeconomic diversity and friendships that many would miss in other settings…. Read 141 reviews

They’ve done a lot of research on diversity programs and, consequently, have done a great job of building a friendly and inclusive environment. Teachers are also very receptive and genuinely concerned about their student’s well-being and success. SPS has had the most impact on our son’s life.

Colorado school ratings: More schools earn low scores
Colorado released school and district ratings Thursday. The state had not released ratings since 2019.
Helen H. Richardson / The Denver Post
Fewer Colorado schools earned top ratings this year — and 31% more earned one of the state’s two lowest ratings — after three years of pandemic-interrupted schooling, according to preliminary ratings released Thursday by the Colorado Department of Education.
Of Colorado’s more than 1,870 schools, 175 earned one of the two lowest ratings, up from 134 schools that had one of the two lowest ratings last year.
Thirteen school districts also earned one of the two lowest ratings, up from four last year. The 13 districts include three in the metro area: Mapleton, Englewood, and Sheridan.
Low-rated schools and districts qualify for additional financial assistance and advice from state education officials. But repeated low ratings put schools and districts at risk of state intervention if their student test scores don’t improve.
Colorado Education Commissioner Katy Anthes said in a press release that the ratings, known officially as the School Performance Framework reports, mirror the state literacy and math test scores on which they are largely based. Test scores fell during the pandemic.
“The frameworks demonstrate the same thing we saw with our assessment results — that we still have work to do to rebuild following the pandemic,” Anthes said.
What state officials call the accountability clock — a timeline for struggling schools and districts to show improvement or face intervention — has been on hold since state testing was suspended in 2020.
This school year is a transition year, with schools receiving ratings that might serve as a warning but won’t be used to add schools to the clock or move schools further along. Schools that have been on the clock can use a good rating to make a case for getting off, but schools with poor ratings will have another year to improve before facing consequences.
Lawmakers increased school transformation grant funding 50% this year to a total of $6 million and will allow more schools to apply for that funding. Schools also have access to federal COVID relief money they can use for tutoring and other help for students.
About 17% of schools and 39% of school districts had so little testing data the state did not assign a rating. That’s higher than in years past.
How schools under state orders fared
The State Board of Education can still use this year’s ratings to order new interventions in schools and districts already under improvement orders from the State Board of Education. These schools and districts have had at least five years of low ratings.
Twelve schools and one district, Adams 14 in Commerce City, are already under state orders. The 12 schools include three in Aurora, three in Pueblo, two in Adams 14, two in Denver, one in Monte Vista, and one in Colorado Springs.
The Adams 14 district, which has tested the limits of the state’s accountability system, has had low ratings since 2010, and this year saw a further drop in its rating. Central Elementary, which has its own separate state improvement plan, dropped another level to the lowest this year.
In total, five of the district’s 11 schools earned one of the two lowest ratings. But two Adams 14 schools that previously had low ratings earned an improved rating this year: Rose Hill Elementary and Lestor Arnold, the district’s alternative high school.
Under a new superintendent, district and union leaders last year criticized the state’s accountability system as inequitable. Students in the district face so many challenges outside the classroom, leaders say, that learning takes more time. Teachers have to address hunger, safety, and trauma first.
Additionally, more than half of Adams 14 students are learning English as a second language, one of the highest percentages in the state. Past administrations faced federal investigations for discriminating against them.
More recently, leaders have tried to correct that record, including by restoring some bilingual education and describing the students as linguistically gifted. However, those students were also the most likely to suffer under disruptions during COVID shutdowns when schools didn’t offer the normal amount of English language development classes and had to change how they offered support for students.
In Aurora, Aurora Central High School earned a lower rating this year than in the past. The district recently created an arts magnet program on the same campus that will include a path at Aurora Central for students studying the arts.
The two other Aurora schools under state orders, Gateway High School and North Middle School, stayed the same, each earning one of the two lowest ratings once again. So did Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver, which is also under state orders.
Only three of the 12 schools with state orders saw their ratings improve: Manual High School in Denver, and Central High and Minnequa Elementary schools in the Pueblo City 60 district. Bill Metz Elementary School in the Monte Vista district earned a high rating for the second year in a row, which means it could request to be removed from the clock.
How ratings are calculated
Each public school in Colorado receives an annual state rating. Student growth, or how much progress students make year over year on state tests compared with peers with previously similar scores, counts more toward the ratings than does how many students scored at grade level. For high schools, data such as graduation and dropout rates also factor into the ratings.
Colorado last issued ratings in 2019 that were based on state math and literacy tests from that spring. State tests were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and limited in 2021. This past spring was the first time since 2019 that students in grades three through 11 took the full battery of tests, known as the Colorado Measures of Academic Success or CMAS.
The 2021 state ratings were based on 2019 state test scores, though schools and districts could request that the state raise their ratings based on other data.
Colorado issues each public school one of four ratings, ranging from performance plan, the highest, followed by improvement plan, priority improvement plan, and turnaround plan, the lowest. School districts receive similar ratings, though the highest performing districts can earn a rating of distinction plan.
Schools and districts rated priority improvement or turnaround are put on a state watchlist and have five years to show improvement.
This year, 54% of Colorado schools earned the highest rating, down from 69% in 2019. Another 17% of schools have the second-highest rating this year, down from 21%.
The percentage of schools with one of the two lowest ratings increased to 9% from 7%.
More than half of schools maintained the same rating from 2021 final ratings to this year’s preliminary ratings. Overall, about 15% of schools’ ratings decreased, while about 10% increased.
Colorado’s school accountability system is currently undergoing a wide-ranging performance audit ordered by lawmakers. The audit is meant to ask whether the system improves student outcomes, hurts certain student groups, or influences teaching practices in negative ways, among other questions. Results are expected in November.

Public School Rankings by State 2022
Finding the best public school is a priority for many families. A good education is important to these families, who may even choose where they purchase or rent housing to ensure their children are in the best public school systems. There are about 51 million public school students in the United States. While far from perfect, public schools play a vital role in their respective communities. Public schools improve their communities and the welfare of children. Public schools welcome all children, no matter their income level, disability, or previous academic performance. Many schools provide school meals, which helps children from food-insecure families get nutritious food every day. The better the public school, the more likely students will achieve higher educational attainment. While there is no comprehensive way to measure what public schools are the best in the nation, a few surveys look at data, including high school graduation rates and college readiness, to determine which states have the best schools.
States with the Best Public Schools
WalletHub ranked each state’s public schools for “Quality” and “Safety” using 33 relevant metrics. Metrics included high school graduation rate among low-income students, math and reading scores, median SAT and ACT scores, pupil-teach ratio, the share of armed students, number of school shootings between 2000 and June 2020 bullying incidence rate, and more. Based on these metrics, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey have the best public schools in the United States.
1. Massachusetts
Massachusetts has the best public school system in the U.S. 48.8% of Massachusetts’s eligible schools ranked in the top 25% of high school rankings, a total of 167 schools. Massachusetts has the highest math and reading test scores in the U.S. and the second-highest median ACT score of 25.1. Massachusetts also has one of the lowest bullying incidence rates in the country and is considered one of the best states for teachers. Massachusetts is also the most educated state in the country.
2. Connecticut
Connecticut ranks second in the nation for public schools, ranking second for quality and 19th for safety. Connecticut students have the highest median ACT score of 25.5 and have the third-highest reading test scores. Connecticut spends about $18,958 per student, one of the highest per-pupil spendings in the country. Connecticut is also one of the best states for teachers due to having small class sizes and some of the best-paid teachers in the U.S. with an average annual salary of $73,113.
3. New Jersey
New Jersey has the third-best public schools in the United States. New Jersey has the second-lowest dropout rate among states and the third-lowest pupil to teacher ratio. Additionally, students have the third-highest math test scores and the second-highest reading test scores in the nation. New Jersey ranks second for the overall quality of schools and 11th for safety. The state spends about $21,866 per student on average. New Jersey is considered the second-best state for teachers, with the sixth-highest average salary of $69,917 per year.
4. Virginia
Virginia has the fourth-best public schools overall in the United States, ranking fourth for quality and third for safety. Virginia public schools were found to have the fourth-highest math test scores in the country. Virginia schools also have the fourth-lowest bullying incidence rate and have “no significant shortcomings” when assessed for safety from violence, bullying, harassment, and substance use.
5. Vermont
Vermont has the fifth-best public schools in the nation. Vermont ranks eighth for quality, having the lowest pupil to teacher ratio in the country, allowing teachers to give each student extra attention. The average teacher ratio in the U.S. is 16-to-1, while Vermont’s is 10.5-to-1. Vermont also ranks fourth for safety, tied for first with Massachusetts and Oklahoma for having the lowest percentage of threatened/injured high school students.

Texas school ratings show improvement compared to 2019
This year’s TEA ratings were done differently than in previous years. Instead of the usual A-F ratings, which were last given in 2019, the agency gave only A-C ratings. Districts and schools that would have received a D or F instead received a “Not Rated” label this year.

The Texas Education Agency on Monday released its first public school ratings in three years and despite pandemic interruptions, the number of schools that received the highest rating increased.
This year, 27.9% of 8,451 schools evaluated received an A rating. Another 46.1% received a B, 19. 4% received a rating of C and 6.7% received “Not Rated” labels. Not all schools and districts are rated because some are alternative education programs and treatment facilities.
The state agency’s ratings — tied in large part to results of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR test — are the latest metrics used to grade how well Texas public schools are performing as students emerge from the worst of the global coronavirus pandemic. Even though students returned to classroom instruction last year, surges in COVID-19 infections both last fall and winter forced some schools to close and revert back to remote instruction.
TEA Commissioner Mike Morath credited local educators with the increases seen, despite those interruptions, in each of the A and B categories and a reduction in the number of schools that received below-average grades, those in the “Not Rated” category.
“These results show our state’s significant investment in the post-pandemic academic recovery of Texas public school students is bearing fruit,” Morath said. “I’m grateful for the driving force behind this year’s success: our teachers and local school leaders.”
The TEA’s ratings are determined by scores in three categories: how students perform on the STAAR test, which is given each spring; improvement in those scores; and how well schools are educating disadvantaged students. Students are tested on different subjects: reading, math, science and social students.
Districts also get an overall rating. There are a total of 1,207 school districts in Texas, and 1,195 were evaluated. Out of the districts evaluated, 33.1% got an A, 54% got a B, 9.4% got a C and 3.5% got a “Not Rated” label.
This year’s TEA ratings were done differently than in previous years. Instead of the usual A-F ratings, which were last given in 2019, the agency gave only A-C ratings.
Districts and schools that would have received a D or F instead received a “Not Rated” label this year. Schools that ranked in those bottom tiers will also be spared possible TEA sanctions during the 2022-2023 school year. Families can find their school’s accountability ratings at TXschools.gov.
In 2019, the last time that TEA put out these ratings, 8,302 schools were rated, and 21.1% received an A, 39.5% received a B, 26.1% received a C and 13.3% received failing grades. In 2019, 1,189 districts were rated. Of those, 25.3% received an A, 56.9% received a B, 13% received a C and 4.8% received failing grades.
Texas continues to show some struggle with getting “high-poverty” schools an A grade. Data shows that only 18% of those campuses in Texas were rated an A. The TEA labels schools as “high-poverty” if their number of economically disadvantaged students surpasses 80%. Of the schools that received a “Not Rated” label, over half of them were “high-poverty” schools.
Texas has about 5.4 million students in its public schools, and 60% of them are economically disadvantaged, meaning they qualify for free or reduced lunch. Out of the 8,451 schools rated this year, 564 campuses received the “Not Rated” label. Most of these “Not Rated” campuses — 499 — serve students who live in some of the state’s poorest communities.
While there is work to be done with Texas’ poorer schools, Morath said, the increase among the A-rated schools — a rise seen after the pandemic interrupted classroom instruction — means the state is on the right track to catch students up to pre-pandemic levels.
This spring’s STAAR results showed big gains in reading. While math scores did increase from the dips seen in 2021, they revealed that Texas students still have work to do to catch up to their pre-pandemic test score levels.
State officials say the ratings help parents decide on a school or a district and help hold those districts accountable to parents and taxpayers. Opponents of the system say it harms schools that serve poor communities as they usually get the failing grades and face potential state sanctions such as getting shut down.
Matthew Gutierrez, superintendent of the Seguin Independent School District, received a “Not Rated” label for his district even though more than half of his campuses received a C or above, as his district faltered on other criteria.
Gutierrez believes what hurt his district is that during the pandemic there was a decrease in the number of kids going to college, pursuing technical careers or joining the military. Because of the spread of COVID-19 infections since 2019, the number of students who took the ACT or SAT or attained industry certifications or dual credit decreased, he said.
“I’m really disheartened about the overall district grading,” Gutierrez said. “It’s a very complex, complicated system. I feel like the overall score does not reflect the progress made as a school district.”
The Seguin district also had two middle schools that received “Not Rated” labels, and both of them are majority Hispanic and the number of students who are economically disadvantaged is higher than the state average. But Gutierrez is hopeful that these two campuses will soon improve like his district’s other schools did that have a higher average of low-income students.
“We certainly believe our students have the capacity — we just need the right levels of support,” he said.

What rating schools give children. Student’s view
Rating schools are skeptical (“We know how these ratings are molded”), but still, there is a queue for admission there. A strong school is every parent’s dream. And what about the students? Our blogger, student Alisa Pochevskaya, graduated from just such a school and tells what she can give to a student.
What are “top schools”?
It is believed that these are educational institutions that annually occupy the top lines in the rankings of the best schools in the city and country. As a rule, they have a certain specialization (that is, they are considered strong in certain subjects), as well as traditions. Smart, motivated children from prosperous families, professional teachers who are not indifferent to the success of students, an interesting and eventful school life, and, of course, entering universities on a budget without tutors – this is what is meant when they talk about top schools. But isn’t this a myth?
I studied in such an educational institution for the last five years of my school life (before that I went to a regular school near my house). Of course, I can’t speak on behalf of everyone, but I’ll still try to tell you when it’s worth enrolling in such educational institutions and what you can learn there
In what cases is it worth enrolling in a strong school?
1. If you are bored in a regular school . In my old school, I was incredibly bored five lessons out of six. Actually, apart from the Russian language and literature, I was not interested in anything (and even in these subjects, then there will be huge gaps in knowledge, which I did not even suspect at that time). Fives were given for the slightest effort, homework took no more than an hour a day in all subjects and was elementary. I felt like I was wasting my time. And I also thought that I myself was somehow not like that: there was nothing to talk about with classmates, our interests were strikingly different.
2. If there is a willingness to work. Even getting into a top school is no longer easy. As a rule, for this you need to pass an entrance exam. Personally, I needed classes in a circle at a future school in order to prepare. Getting up early in the morning on weekends and going to study was not easy, the homework was just huge.
I was lucky, I had enough entrance scores to get in. The time before the first of September flew by unnoticed, and now I am already on the threshold of a new life. My acquaintance with her turned out “face on the asphalt”: on the very first test, I, an excellent student, got a three in mathematics and a two in Russian. And this is for the passed material “without frills”. It was a shame for myself and my, it turns out, far from extensive knowledge.
Throughout my first year of study (I then entered the seventh grade), my grades left much to be desired. The assignments were voluminous, the requirements were tough, and the “newcomer discount” ended in three months. Sometimes I sat at the lessons until night. Learning to “learn” was difficult, but very interesting.
3. If there is no fear of competition. These schools select “strong” children, usually with ambitious parents. It is important to be prepared for the fact that there will be more gifted, more prepared (or simply “trained”), more smart. Sometimes it’s hard to realize that you are no longer a high school star and no one will treat you like that. This understanding is especially difficult for parents, so scandals like “my child is not understood and appreciated”, “our bunny is being pushed aside” with trips to the administration and demands to change the teacher are quite possible. However, if the school management is adequate, and the majority of parents are interested in creating a cohesive class, such problems are completely solvable.
4. If you wish to participate in extracurricular activities . Excursions, trips, concerts, charity fairs… Life does not end with studies, you need to be prepared for this. Participation in events, although not mandatory, is highly desirable. Of course, you can always refuse, but I know from my own experience that you will lose a lot. Extracurricular activity allows you to find friends, develop creativity and even stress resistance. During five years of study, I managed to participate in a dozen concerts (as an actor, screenwriter and director), trade at a charity fair, visit theaters and museums, visit different cities, and be a volunteer. It was fun, although I had to find a balance between “organizational activity” and study.
5. If there is an understanding that a strong school is not a panacea . Even top schools have “weak” teachers. It is quite possible that some knowledge will be “not enough”, and the teaching methods of a number of teachers will raise questions. And yes, self-passing exams “without tutors, courses (and SMS)” is nothing more than a myth. Especially if you want to get high scores and enter the budget. In my case, the Russian language was an exception – we were really trained in it to a decent level, the vast majority of them did not need outside help. All other high achievements are largely the result of the work of literary Negroes from education.
But if passing the exam with high scores is not guaranteed, then why do it, what does it give?
Well, at least:
The ability to work and enjoy the result, as well as the understanding that you cannot achieve a high result without effort.
New knowledge not only in some narrow area, but also simply broadening one’s horizons, becoming the basis of the background.
Friends who share hobbies.
An interesting, eventful life.
Independence both in everyday things (moving around the city, preparing homework), and in determining one’s interests, specialization and future path.
Getting rid of “star disease” and “complex of an excellent student”, the ability to adequately assess one’s capabilities, advantages and disadvantages.
Passionate about their work, teachers who become not only teachers, but also mentors.
Agree, not so little.
Is it worth it?
It seems to me that the answer to this question should be purely individual. There are many reasons why a strong school may not be suitable, ranging from the inability to “pull” the program and the rhythm of life to the distance from home.
It is very important to calculate all the pros and cons in advance, even before submitting an application. Take into account the opinion of the child (who has long been a teenager with his own ideas about beauty).
In my case, the top school helped to form as a person. It was different: difficult, exciting, sometimes sad and boring, but at the same time fun and cool. Yes, you can prepare for entering a university by going to home schooling or even external studies, and this may be more effective. But such educational institutions are their own little world, which, quite possibly, will become a second home, where you want to return even after graduation.
Thank you very much for reading to the end. If you have any additions or questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments!

Development of the rating
0014 . This means that the quality of education worthy of the capital must be guaranteed by all schools in the city without exception.
This task is due to the ever-increasing demands of the population
to the results of education and backed by serious resources of the city. Per
the last four years there have been fundamental changes in the strengthening and
development of the material base and financing of educational organizations.
In order to stimulate the improvement of the quality of the work of Moscow schools since 2011 the system of grants of the Mayor of Moscow was introduced. Approaches and criteria for selecting laureates form the basis of the Rating of Moscow Schools.
The annual rating of educational organizations of the capital is compiled on the basis of data on the performance of schools ,
contained in the information systems of the Department of Education of the city
Moscow and therefore does not require additional collection of information. Criteria
rating are annually approved by the Expert Council for the State
program of the city of Moscow for the medium term (2012-2016) “Development
formation of the city of Moscow (“Capital education”)”.
The technical support for the calculation of the rating is carried out by the Center for Pedagogical Excellence of the city of Moscow
according to approved criteria based on learning outcomes
students and pupils: Unified State Examination, OGE, All-Russian and Moscow
Olympiads for schoolchildren, results of city-wide independent
diagnostic work, as well as other results of the work of schools.
It should be noted that the Rating criteria have been developed taking into account the fact that
that none of them should provoke schools to “get rid of
successful students” for a higher position in the ranking.
All rating criteria are divided into several blocks.
Block 1. Indicators of the school’s performance in providing quality mass secondary education.
The results of the State Final Attestation are evaluated:
– For each student who scored at least 220 points in any three subjects on the Unified State Examination , 1 point is awarded.
– For each student who for any three subjects on the exam scored from 190 to 219 points , 0.5 points are awarded.
– For each student who scored at least 12 points in three subjects of the OGE ( according to the 5-point scale recommended by FIPI ), 0.25 points are awarded.
If there are students removed from the USE, the score scored
school according to the results of the exam, multiplied by the coefficient. This coefficient
calculated according to the following formula:
Block 2. Indicators of the effectiveness of the school’s work to create conditions for the development of talents of the maximum number of students.
results of participation in the All-Russian (final and regional stages) and Moscow Olympiads for schoolchildren in subjects are evaluated.
Each student in each subject is counted once per
according to the maximum result. One student is not counted
more than two subjects:
– winner of the Moscow Olympiad or the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 1 point ,
– winner of the Moscow Olympiad or the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 3 points ,
– winner of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 5 points ,
– winner of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 10 points.
Block 3. Indicators of school performance in ensuring the quality of knowledge, confirmed by external evaluation.
The results of schools are evaluated based on the results of independent subject and meta-subject diagnostics:
– for each subject for each student who has overcome
established threshold in citywide diagnostics based on learning outcomes
in grades 4 and 7 – 0.01 points,
– for each student who has overcome the established threshold in
citywide meta-subject diagnostics in grades 4 and 7 – 0. 01
points.
Block 4. Performance indicators of preschool departments.
It should be noted that this criterion has been modernized. If earlier
The number of children enrolled in the preschool program was taken into account.
school-based education, now the number of preschoolers is important,
transferred at the request of their parents to the first grade of the same school.
For each transfer from the preschool department to the 1st grade of the same educational organization, the school receives – 0.06 points.
As important as learning outcomes for the education system
are other indicators that reflect the work of the school on the development
versatile abilities and talents of children, the formation of their
an adequate attitude towards the world and oneself in this world, as well as the ability
schools to work with children of different categories.
Therefore, the following additional parameters are included in the Rating criteria:
Block 5. Performance indicators of the school’s work on crime prevention.
– for each student in grades 7-11 who did not commit offenses during the school year – 0.001 points,
– for each student in grades 7-11 who
preventive accounting (in agreement with the Governing Council), not
committed offenses during the academic year – 0.005 points,
– for each student in grades 7-11 who is on preventive
registration in the internal affairs bodies, who has not committed offenses within
academic year – 0.1 points.
Each student is counted according to the specified parameters once.
Block 6. Indicators of the effectiveness of the school’s work with students with special educational needs.
Points accrued for children with disabilities (according to the indicators of the Unified State Examination,
olympiads, diagnostics, preschoolers) are multiplied by the coefficient
student funding (2.0 or 3.0).
Taking into account the fact that upon admission, a disabled person must present one USE, for the specified category, instead of:
– 1 point for a set of 220 points in the amount of three USE, 1 point is applied for a set of 73 points for one of the USE,
– 0. 5 points for a set of 190-219 points in total for three USE, 0.5 points for a set of 63 to 72 points for one of the USE,
– 0.25 points for a set of 12 points in total for three subjects OGE, 4 points are applied in one of the subjects of the OGE.
The total rating score of the school is multiplied by a coefficient, depending on the number of disabled children in the institution.
K=1+0.001*(funding ratio for a student with a disability).
Example: there are 10 disabled people in the school (with a funding ratio of 2), one of them became the winner of the regional stage:
– for the winner the school will receive not 3 points, but 6 points,
– the total score of the school will be multiplied by 1.02.
Block 7. Performance indicators of the school’s work on the use of the socio-cultural resources of the city in teaching.
The results of participation of schoolchildren in city Olympiads are taken into account
Museums. Parks. Estates” and “The link between generations will not be interrupted”. The list will
expand every year.
Schools can get their scores multiplied by a factor
depending on the level of performance (in the sum of both
Olympiads):
– high level (at least four diplomas, of which at least two winners) – 1.02,
– good level (at least three diplomas, of which at least one winner) – 1.01,
– the work has just started (the presence of at least one diploma of the prize-winner or winner) – 1.005,
– the results are not shown or are missing – 1.00.
Place in the Rating is determined by calculating the sum of points
schools for the main criteria, for additional criteria and are multiplied by
coefficients of multiplicative criteria (blocks 6 and 7).
Rating score \u003d (score for the Unified State Examination * K beats + score for the OGE +
score for Olympiads + score for diagnostics + score for preschoolers + score for
crime prevention work) X Coefficient for work with
children with disabilities X Coefficient for socio-cultural work.
Schools are ranked in descending order of rating score. In case of equality
points take into account the dynamics compared to the previous year (the higher
dynamics, the higher the school ranks).

My name is Tatyana Glitsan. I am an English High School Enrollment Specialist at IQ Consultancy. Since 2007, I have been helping children get into top-rated schools, including Wellington College, Charterhouse, Caterham School and Headington School.
Today I will tell you what criteria are used to rank schools, how to interpret them and how to choose an educational institution.
How to understand ratings
The ratings are compiled by specialized portals, the media and the Ministry of Education. The main ranking criterion is the results of final exams. They talk about the quality of academic preparation. Other indicators can also be taken into account – for example, the career of graduates, technical equipment, the number of subjects, the level of teachers, and others.
One of the most popular sources is the British edition of The Times. The ranking is based on the results of the exams.
In this article, we will look at the ranking of schools with British (GCSE, A-Level) and international (IB) study programs.
After graduating from middle school, British students take the GCSE (The General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams.
The high school program ends with A-Level exams. The highest score is A *, then – from A to E.
As an alternative to the traditional British program, some schools offer the International Baccalaureate program. The maximum score for the exam is 45.
What you need to know about ranking schools
Please note that only those schools that have submitted an application and reported their results to the publication are included in The Times rating. Many educational institutions do not do this, so they are not in the rankings.
For example, in 2019, 75% of students at the private boarding school Moreton Hall School received the highest scores (A * -A) in the GCSE exam. This is a high result, but the school is not in the ranking.
The position in the ranking affects the prestige of the school, and hence the entrance requirements. It is difficult to enter top educational institutions – the competition in them is 20–25 people per place, and preparation takes from 2 to 4 years. For students who are aiming to enter high-ranking schools, we have a special preparation department, British tutors and programs developed on the basis of the curricula of top schools.
Best School Lists 2019 (The Times)
The rating of private schools in the UK according to the results of the GCSE is compiled by the number of students with the highest scores (A * -A or 9-7), for the rating according to the results of the A-Level, the grades A *, A and B were taken into account, and for the IB exam they took data on the average score .
Schools with the same results take one place in the ranking.

What criteria are important when choosing a school
I am often approached by parents who want to enroll their child in a school with the highest rating. But it is important to know that the top position of an educational institution does not guarantee that it will suit a student.
When I select a school for a child, I focus on a large number of criteria. Here is some of them:
Approach to learning. Studying in the best English schools with a complex program and strict discipline can cause serious stress, and poor grades can affect self-esteem. It is important to objectively assess the child’s abilities and choose a school in which he will be comfortable studying.
List of A-Level subjects. Subjects in the upper grades are selected depending on the specialty that the student plans to receive at the university. It is important that at school the necessary disciplines are studied at an advanced level.
Infrastructure. British private schools provide an excellent opportunity to unleash the potential of the child. Therefore, when choosing an educational institution, it is necessary to take into account the interests and abilities of the future student. For example, it could be a school where children train at an Olympic-level stadium, perform on a professional theater stage, or shoot a movie in a real studio.
Living conditions. My colleagues and I regularly visit schools and know how the residences are equipped, what they eat in the canteen, what children do after school. In addition, we personally communicate with curators who monitor discipline and safety. This helps to choose a school in which the child will be comfortable not only to study, but also to live.
Here are three examples of schools from the rankings that have strong advantages and are suitable for different purposes:
go to Oxbridge;
enroll in top US universities;
build a sports career.
How do I select schools for students
At the consultation, I find out the interests and inclinations of the child, discuss with parents their expectations from foreign education, compare the criteria for choosing a school with the current level of the student.
I try to take into account every little thing: for example, whether the climate is suitable, whether the school will be too crowded for the quiet or vice versa, whether it will be convenient for parents to get to school to see the child, and so on.
As a result, I offer up to 5 schools that meet the needs of the family. One or two of the top rankings and up to 3 backup options, so that the child is sure to enter and not miss the school year in England. At the same time, we always prepare for the strongest school on the list.
If you also want your child to study in a British school that will maximize his potential, leave an application below. I will answer all questions and help at all stages of enrollment.

Sergey Bekhterev Managing Partner of the Consulting Company “Rules of the Game”
I have been setting up performance discipline in Russian organizations for almost 8 years, and during this time I have implemented hundreds of projects to set up a variety of order execution control systems.
Typically, such projects were ordered by organizations in which:
Scheduled assignments were not completed on time
Managers learned that the order had not been completed after the expiration of the order
Orders were not carried out the way the manager wanted
Orders could be lost by an employee
And even forget the leader
Or vice versa: getting lost by a manager or being forgotten by an employee
We came and set up the order control system (usually it used to be based on Microsoft Outlook) and formed the corporate order control rules. Some of these projects were successful, others not so much, others failed, and the fourth turned out to be even very harmful and dangerous for the organization.
Summing up all these projects, I was surprised to find that all projects with order control were implemented in the overwhelming majority of cases only in Russian organizations, although we also did projects for PwC, Nestle, Microsoft, SUN Microsystems, Nokian Tires and other foreign organizations . Analyzing this experience, I came to the conclusion that in transnational foreign organizations there is a culture of mandatory implementation of all agreements, while in Russian organizations for some reason this culture always needs to be improved.
In this article, we will share our experience and talk about how to create a corporate culture of commitment and urgency to complete all tasks. And as an epigraph to this article, we will take the statement of one of the well-known Russian managers who managed to create such a culture in his organization.
The most important thing in management is a sense of urgency. Nothing can be done without it.

What is the reason for the low performance discipline in many Russian organizations? Since there are two playing sides in this game (a leader and a subordinate), we will analyze the experience we have accumulated for each of the parties.
Executives:
Slaves:
Assignments are often assigned vaguely and vaguely, for example, “Understand and report”, “Make sure everything is in order”, etc.
Subordinates accept any vague orders of the head for execution
Assigned orders are not recorded anywhere, and, as a result, the manager forgets about them
Subordinates do not record the instructions of their leaders or write them down in a diary, but in the way they themselves understood, and not in the way the leader imagined it.
The manager does not give the right to subordinates to say that the assignment cannot be completed on time or that there are not enough resources to complete it
Subordinates are silent and do not ask questions, even if they do not understand anything (so as not to appear stupid and incompetent)
The manager assigns tasks with imaginary urgency, for example, “so that the presentation is ready by 9:00 tomorrow”, and then the subordinate finds out that the presentation has been gathering dust on the boss’s desk without movement for a week.
Subordinates do not perceive the deadline for completing the task as mandatory. If it is mandatory, then there should be a separate warning from the head about this. “So they would immediately say that you are exactly at 9:00 am need presentation”
The manager does not control whether the subordinate understood correctly what exactly needs to be done – as a result, the output is not at all what he wanted.
The subordinate does not confirm with the manager whether he understood the task correctly – they will suddenly think that he is slow-witted and does not correspond to his position.
The manager does not find time to control the intermediate results of the execution of instructions, and again, in the end, he receives something completely different from what he ordered.
The subordinate postpones the task until the very last moment and does nothing until the last day – anyway, the manager will not control it earlier.
Managers always react differently to cases of non-fulfillment of instructions: they often don’t notice at all even in the most critical cases, and sometimes they arrange reprimands over trifles (there’s been accumulated, what can you do).
A subordinate never knows what he will be punished for this time – and if so, then there is no point in guessing and trying – anyway, in something, but you will be to blame.
As a result, we get two parties that are dissatisfied with each other and about which we can say “some pretend to manage, while others pretend to perform.” These are the rules of the game “by concept” (for more details, see the article “How to move from management by concepts to management by rules”).
Here is one negative case from my practice as a business consultant:
Once, in a very large Russian organization (for obvious reasons, we will not name it), the new CEO ordered a project to set up an order control system in order to immediately improve executive discipline.
It was done harshly: our proposal to form the rules for performing tasks during a special session, together with top management, the new general director responded sharply negatively. Based on the experience we have accumulated, he independently formed the rules of executive discipline with severe sanctions for non-fulfillment or delay in the assigned tasks. The next day, this regulation was sent to everyone by mail, and the next day the general director made everyone sign on the agreement sheet.
The results were good – in a month 150 orders of the general director were assigned and completed on time. Not a single one was overdue. The CEO was jubilant. We completed the project, signed the acceptance certificate and watched what happened next.
Already 250 assignments were scheduled and completed right on time for the next month. In the third month, their number exceeded 300, and six months later there were already more than 500. There were no overdue orders. Everything was done on time. But a year later, the number of monthly assignments approached a thousand!
At this point, the CEO was fired. Throughout the year, the manageability of the organization fell, the results worsened. Everyone did just what was ordered. And nothing else. In order to do at least something, the CEO had to assign more and more new assignments. As a result, there was no time at all for development projects of the organization. The shareholders decided to break this growing loop of loss of control of the organization.
We made a very important conclusion from this project: you cannot assign an assignment in accordance with what an employee should do anyway (that is, in accordance with the processes and projects delegated to him). Moreover, if an assignment is assigned to the same employee for the second time, then this assignment must be made part of the function of the position, that is, go to the next level of management and delegate authority.
From a systemic point of view, this can be represented as an organization growth ladder:
Fig.1. Ladder development management in the organization.
After all, if you think about it, everything in an organization consists of tasks. Projects and processes are decomposed into tasks. Goals consist of project programs, which are also structured to tasks. You can not rise to the next level of management without building the rules of the game on the previous one! It is not surprising that in many Russian organizations there is such a systemic scourge as non-working regulations. After all, non-working regulations begin with the non-obligation to complete tasks on time.
How to create such a culture of urgency and obligation to complete the task? To do this, you need to move from management “by concepts” to management by rules.
And the first rule that we will accept: we will abandon the further use of the word “assignment” and replace it with the word “task” (thanks for the idea to Ruben Harutyunyan, president of the HENDERSON fashion house).
Imagine what you can say about the culture of your organization:
“1. All tasks assigned by me are always completed on time!
2. If an employee cannot complete a task, he always reschedules the due date as agreed with me
3. I can always easily view and see the current status of any task I have assigned
4. Any files and documents in progress tasks are recorded and stored in one place, they are easy to find and use
5. I can see the analytics of the achievements and results of any employee for any period – for example, the results for the month
6. My personal assistant regularly records my meetings with subordinates and enters tasks for control into a single system
7. My personal assistant regularly monitors the implementation of my tasks and provides me with reports that are easy to analyze working day and manage to do everything planned for the day. Everyone understands their achieved result of the day.
9. When there are a lot of tasks and deadlines, our task management system itself reminds us of deadlines, preventing us from having overdue tasks
10. In the course of a team task or project, we all work in a single information field and see who did what and in accordance with the agreements.”
If you want to say that about the culture of getting things done in your organization, but you can’t yet, then read on for how to do it!
In order to create such a culture, it is necessary to form in the core team members the understanding that they are covertly manipulating each other and that it is possible to assign and perform tasks according to other rules.
After that, it is necessary to organize the process of discussion and formation of rules for the obligatory performance of tasks, based on the specifics of the corporate culture of the organization. We have had many such sessions already, and each company has its own special set of rules. No one can better take into account the characteristics of the company than the employees themselves.
The most interesting thing is that the solution of such complexity, at first sight, takes about an hour of time during the session. This is how it usually looks.
Fig.2. Top management of the company forms corporate rules for assigning and performing tasks
In order for the system to be complete and working, 4 types of rules are needed.
Fig.3. The scheme for assigning, accepting, reporting and monitoring tasks – four types of rules (the scheme was proposed by Gleb Arkhangelsky in the book “Corporate Time Management”).
Yes, yes, exactly the same little book from our favorite cartoon about operational management. Under the “book” we mean a single repository of all assigned tasks, to which both the manager and the subordinate have access. The type of book is really not that important. It can be Microsoft Outlook, Share Point, 1C, Papirus, Megaplan, UnicloudBusiness365 or regular email and even regular stickers! The main thing is the corporate culture of accomplishing tasks!
Here are some examples of the most effective rules that may apply to your company.
Rule:
Consultant’s comment:
1. Task assignment rules
1.1. The function of the manager is not only to assign a task, but also to receive confirmation of acceptance of the completion of this task from employee
Our experience over the years shows that managers often forget this simple principle. How often at a meeting, leaders assign assignments and deadlines like a machine gun, subordinates silently write everything down in their diaries and then do nothing!
1. 2. The task assigned to the employee must comply with the SMART principles: specific, measurable, achievable, tied to a deadline, consistency
Managers often save seconds to clearly formulate the task. Then they lose hours due to the fact that the task is not done the way it should have been.
1.3. The manager must separately allocate time to prepare for delegation, delegate and control tasks to subordinates. It is highly undesirable to delegate tasks “on the go”
Tasks delegated “on the fly” tend to be forgotten and perceived as less of a priority.
2. Task Acceptance Rules
2.1. An employee should always analyze the task before accepting it, and if he understands that he cannot do it (there is not enough time, qualifications, knowledge, information, budgets and other resources), he must immediately inform the manager about the actual deadlines for completing the task and the reasons for which the task cannot be completed on time.
Quoting Alexander Fridman, it is appropriate to cite the following rule: “A subordinate always has the right to ask the question “How?”.
2.2. The accepted task must be recorded by the employee in the “Booklet” without reminding the head.
The same rule can be rephrased as follows:
“After meeting with the manager, the employee is obliged to send by e-mail (“Booklet”) all the tasks assigned by the manager within two hours.”
2.3. The deadline for completing a task is the law. If an employee said that he will complete the task on time, then he will complete the task on time!
This rule must be constantly broadcast by the head, and show by personal example – in relation to the obligations assumed.
3. Task Reporting and Postponement Rules
3.1. The employee is obliged to update the task before the end of the working day, and at least once a week to update information on the status of all his tasks. To do this, you must briefly indicate the status, put in the body of the task all the information and documents received during execution.
“Booklet” should be a constant working tool for both subordinates and (even more importantly!) For managers.
3.2. If the task is completed, the employee must inform the manager personally at the planning meeting, or write a request in the “Booklet” in the absence of the leader. The task is completed only when the manager confirms that it is 100% completed
The task that an employee considers completed is not always completed in the opinion of the manager. But the manager must confirm the completion of the task within 24 hours in order for the task to be completed on time.
3.3. If an employee understands that he cannot complete the task on time, he must immediately inform the manager in writing and clarify his priorities before the end of the day. The due date of the task cannot be rescheduled less than 3 days before the end of the due date of the task.
If an employee reschedules a task in less than 3 days, this means that he simply postponed its execution until the last moment. If the execution of the task was planned, then the employee will see much earlier that he will not be able to complete it on time due to changed priorities – and have time to change priorities.
4. Task Completion Rules
4.1. The manager is obliged to respond to all cases of non-updated, overdue and unfulfilled tasks.
It is important to remember that the strength of a corporate culture is determined by the amount of deviation from the rules of the game when a response occurs. In a strong culture, response occurs at small deviations. As a rule, a small effort is enough for a response, a casual question or remark. In a weak culture, response occurs at large deviations, and a significant response is also required. So it’s better not to bring it up.
4.2. It is desirable for a manager or colleague to give an answer to a completed task or a question/clarification on a task within 24 hours. The manager is strongly advised to clarify the priorities of the employee at his request before the end of the day.
For this, it is extremely important to allocate time for prompt work with orders during the day.
4.3. The manager has the unquestioning right to distract the employee, cancel the task or change priorities in the work of the employee during the entire working time.
It must be remembered that the manager in an emergency can cancel all the rules. “But a professional leader does not abuse this right” (A. Fridman)
These rules have worked very well during implementation in various organizations, which is confirmed by numerous customer reviews.
Typically, most tasks are assigned in meetings between subordinates and supervisors. Such meetings are called meetings. And they have their own culture too. In some organizations, meetings are an effective means of managing, motivating and energizing employees. In other organizations, on the contrary, meetings are a waste of time, after which the participants leave exhausted, not understanding which of them and what exactly should do right now.
Build a culture of urgency and commitment in your organization!

Acting, or How to replace an employee
Sometimes on documents you can see the signature not of the head of the company, but of the person acting for him, which in most cases is exactly indicated: “and. about. director” or “i. about. chief accountant. Is this position legal? Is it legal to indicate “and. about.”? You will find answers to these and some other questions by reading the article.
Let’s imagine a situation where the head of the company quit, and a replacement has not yet been found for him. But after all, the place of the head cannot be empty – someone must manage the company. Usually, in this case, the deputy is appointed acting head and is limited to this. But is it right? Let’s figure it out.
Fulfillment of the duties of an absent employee
Article 60.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the possibility of performing the duties of a temporarily absent employee without exemption from work specified in the employment contract. To do this, the employee is entrusted with the performance during the established duration of the working day (shift), along with the work determined by the employment contract, additional work in another or the same profession (position) for additional payment. Note that this can only be done with the written consent of the employee.
Additional work assigned to an employee in another profession (position) may be carried out by combining professions (positions). If additional work is of the same profession (position), it can be carried out by expanding service areas or increasing the volume of work.
The period during which the employee will perform additional work, its content and volume are established by the employer with the written consent of the employee.
The employee has the right to prematurely refuse to perform additional work, and the employer – to cancel the order to perform it ahead of schedule, notifying the other party in writing no later than three working days in advance.
In order to entrust the performance of the duties of an absent employee, it is necessary to conclude an additional agreement, which clearly indicates the official duties that the employee is entrusted to perform. In addition, the agreement must fix the amount of additional payment for the performance of duties, the term and other
conditions agreed upon by the parties to the employment relationship.
In order to fulfill the duties of a temporarily absent employee without being released from work specified in the employment contract, the employee may be assigned additional work both in another profession and in the same profession (position).
There is an important point in the application of the norm Art. 60.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation : the appointment of an employee as acting in a vacant position is not allowed. This is possible only by position, the appointment to which is made by a higher management body. In this case, the head of the enterprise, institution, organization is obliged, no later than one month from the day the worker is hired, to submit documents to the higher management body for his appointment to the position. This body within a month from the date of receipt of the documents must consider the issue and inform the head of the results ( P. 2 Explanations of the State University of Goskomad of the USSR No. 30 and the Secretariat of the All -Union Central Council of Trade Unions No. 39 dated 12/29/1965 No. 30/39 “On the Procedure for Payment of Provisional Deputy” [1] ( hereinafter – Explanation)).
Of course, if it is necessary to fulfill the duties of an absent employee, one can be guided not only by the named article of the Labor Code. You can also apply:
Art. 72.2 and make a transfer. In this case, the employee is released from the performance of his labor duties and is engaged only in the work of the absent employee. The period of transfer to replace a temporarily absent employee is not limited. If the place where the employee is planned to be transferred is vacant, then the transfer can be carried out either on a temporary basis (for a period of not more than a year) or on a permanent basis (if the employer believes that the employee will cope with the work in a new position). Note that such a transfer is possible only with the consent of the employee;
st. 72.1 and carry out the transfer. If an employee moves to another workplace, to another structural unit located in the same locality, or he is entrusted with work on a different mechanism or unit, and this does not entail a change in the terms of the employment contract determined by the parties, the employee’s consent is not required . When moving, the employer does not have the right to demand from the employee the performance of labor duties in two positions;
Art. 59 and conclude a fixed-term employment contract for the performance of the duties of an absent employee, for whom, in accordance with labor legislation and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms, a collective agreement, agreements, local regulations, an employment contract, the place of work is retained. If the position for which you need to perform duties is vacant, you can conclude an open-ended employment contract, observing the requirements of Sec. III “Employment contract” of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Is it necessary to formalize the performance of the duties of a manager if the employee who will perform them has such a clause in the job description?
Yes, you do, and here’s why. According to Explanation , temporary performance of duties in the position of an absent employee is assigned to another employee by order (instruction) for the enterprise, institution or organization. Similar requirements are contained in the Labor Code.
A job description is a local regulatory legal act that defines the functions (duties), rights and responsibilities of an employee holding a certain position. If it includes a condition on the replacement of the head, this is
means that the employee is obliged to replace the head only when the latter goes on vacation, goes on a business trip, falls ill or is absent for other reasons.
In order for the condition on the performance of the duties of the head to take effect, it is necessary to issue an order in which to record the fact of the absence of the head and the assignment of his duties to a specific employee, as well as determine the replacement period and additional payment for him.
Note that in this case it is not required to conclude an additional agreement to the employment contract.
Should we conclude with an employee who is not a full-time deputy director, an additional agreement to the employment contract on the temporary performance of his duties?
Yes, they should, while the need to draw up an additional agreement does not depend on the method of registration of the temporary performance of the duties of the head. If the employee is not released from his work, the performance of duties can be entrusted to him only with written consent, by concluding an additional agreement to the employment contract ( Art. 60.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ). If a temporary transfer is used for the performance of duties and the employee is released from performing his work, it is also necessary to draw up an additional agreement (, article 72.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ). Note that in neither case is an entry in the work book made.
Does the acting head of the company have the right to hire and fire employees?
When an employee is appointed as an acting head, an additional agreement to the employment contract usually prescribes the functions that he can perform instead of the head. Thus, he can hire and dismiss employees if the agreement gives him the appropriate powers.
How should an acting person sign documents? Is the following entry correct? about. director”?
Indeed, often in the case when the position and surname of the director are entered in the unified form of the order, the acting director writes before the name of the position “and. about.” and puts his signature. And sometimes the acting ones put a slash before the signature. This is fundamentally wrong.
Based on clause 3.22 GOST R 6.30-2003 “Unified Documentation Systems. Unified system of organizational and administrative documentation. Requirements for paperwork” [2] the requisite “Signature” includes: the name of the position of the person who signed the document, personal signature and its transcript (initials, surname).
Since the position of “acting” does not exist, the employee who is entrusted with the performance of the duties of the head, signing the document, must put the position that he occupies according to the staffing table. You should not be afraid of this, because the relevant powers have been officially delegated to him (by order, additional agreement, power of attorney).
How long can an acting officer be appointed?
There are no normative documents limiting the term for the employee to fulfill the duties of a manager, so he can work this way for as long as the employer needs.
How to appoint an acting director if the director suddenly falls ill and cannot issue an order to appoint an acting director?
In this case, the issue of appointing an acting director of the company should be decided by the participants in the company. If there is only one participant – well, the issue will be resolved fairly quickly, since it is he who will appoint the acting director for the period of his temporary disability. But if there are more participants in the company, the solution to this issue may be delayed, because it is necessary to hold an extraordinary meeting of participants. Recall that the procedure for holding an extraordinary meeting of participants is established on Federal Laws of December 26, 1995 No. 208-ФЗ “On Joint-Stock Companies” and dated 08.02.1998 No. 14-ФЗ “On Limited Liability Companies” , it may take a long-term time.
Our leader is going on a long business trip. We want to appoint the head of the legal department as acting director. Can we transfer only part of the director’s duties to him? How to make such a transfer of authority?
In most cases, the procedure for replacing the head of the company is prescribed in the charter and the condition for replacing the head is included in the employment contract and job description of the employee who will perform the duties of the head during his absence. If the replacement procedure is not prescribed in the charter, a separate order is issued. It must indicate exactly what powers are transferred, for example, the right to sign financial documents, employment contracts, financial statements, and the period for which they are transferred.
To formalize the performance of duties, it is necessary to conclude an additional agreement to the employment contract and issue an order. In addition, during the absence of the head of the organization, it is necessary to draw up a power of attorney indicating the powers transferred to the head of the legal department.
Recall that by virtue of Art. 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation , a power of attorney is understood as a written authorization issued by one person to another person for representation before third parties. The power of attorney is issued for a period of not more than three years, and if the period is not specified, it is valid for one year from the date of issue. The person who issued the power of attorney may revoke it at any time.
So, if you want the head of the legal department to perform only part of the functions of the head, fix them in the order and the additional agreement. Otherwise, he will perform the functions that are defined for the head by the charter of the organization and the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for familiarizing the employee with the job description and the subordination of the employee in the performance of official duties
The procedure for familiarizing the employee with the job description and the subordination of the employee in the performance of official duties 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation mandatory
a condition for inclusion in the employment contract is, among other things, the labor function
(work according to the position in accordance with the staff list, professions,
specialties with qualifications; specific type of task assigned to the employee
work).
If, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other
federal laws, with the performance of work in certain positions,
professions, specialties is associated with the provision of compensations and benefits, or
the presence of restrictions, then the names of these positions, professions or
specialties and qualification requirements for them must comply with
names and requirements specified in the qualification reference books,
approved in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation,
or the relevant provisions of professional standards.
According to Part 5 of Art. 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation by agreement of the parties in the labor

contains.
Simultaneously Art. 8 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is determined that employers, for

DICTIONARY
Job Description is a local regulation
which defines the tasks, functions, duties and responsibilities of the employee
firms in the performance of their work in their position. Develop
job description is necessary based on the tasks and functions that are assigned
to a specific structural unit. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account
staffing schedule.
Thus, the employer decides
about whether to include the full list of job responsibilities of the employee in
an employment contract (or draw it up as an annex to an employment contract) or
approve job responsibilities (job description) by a separate local
normative act, as well as independently forms the content of the official
instructions, taking into account the Qualification Directory of Managerial Positions,
specialists and other employees, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated
21 August 1998, No. 37) (hereinafter referred to as the Handbook). It contains qualification
characteristics for various positions, which consist of three sections:
“Responsibilities” – contains the main functions,
which can be entrusted in part or in full to the employee holding
specific position.
“Must know” – contains the basic requirements for
to the employee regarding special knowledge.
“Qualification requirements” – determine the level
professional training of the employee necessary to perform
prescribed duties.
However, the Handbook does not provide answers to questions related to
the order of the employee’s activities, and also does not contain all existing
positions, therefore the employer has the right to form independently
duties of an employee , including in terms of determining the officials who
the worker reports directly.
Given that the head of the organization distributes
duties between his deputies, while he can transfer in accordance
with the charter, constituent documents, part of their duties for the execution
deputies, an indication in the job description of the direct subordination of the employee
the head and his deputies is not a violation of the labor
legislation.
The obligation of the employer, in accordance with Art. 68 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, is
familiarization of the employee with local regulations, directly
related to his work activity when hiring (before signing
employment contract).
Accordingly, the employee gets to know the
obligations against signature directly in the employment contract itself or official
instructions. Records of familiarization with job responsibilities in the application for
hiring is not enough.

Repeated failure to perform official duties Coleman Services
Sofya Povzikova (Head of HR Administration)
What is meant by non-fulfillment or poor-quality performance of official duties?
Non-performance of labor duties is a violation of the requirements of labor legislation, the functions specified in the employment contract, local regulations in force for the employer: PWTR, job description, orders of the organization’s management, technical rules for completing documentation or using equipment, labor protection and safety requirements etc.
Example: an employee works in a call center and his job description states the obligation to “make 40 phone calls per shift”. If an employee does not fulfill the specified norm during the day, then this indicates a poor-quality performance of official duties. If during the day the employee for some reason did not make a single call at all (he came up with a job for himself or found reasons to shirk from work), then this is a failure to fulfill duties.
As can be seen from the example, one of the most important documents that establish requirements for the quality of job duties is a job description or other document that specifies the employee’s job function.
A job description is not a mandatory local normative act, but its presence and competent wording help the employee, his immediate supervisor and HR specialists determine the quality of the employee’s work in disputable or conflict situations.
Very often, when compiling a job description, streamlined formulations are used: “call customers” or “register customer orders”. Such vague duties are not specific, which means that some other document is needed that establishes the criteria for assessing the quality of work, and the employee must be familiarized with it against signature. Otherwise, the actions of the Employer can be appealed, indicating that the calls to customers have been made, but the employee was not informed that exactly 40 calls were needed.
What is meant by “repeated failure”?
In practice, there are very often cases when managers complain to HR specialists about the quality of work of line personnel. However, just as often, managers refuse to document the identified violations: a lot of documents need to be drawn up, and, as always, there is not enough time. The HR specialist must understand that the verbal complaints of the head cannot be considered as a failure to perform official duties. Therefore, “repeated non-performance” is several documented disciplinary sanctions for various violations of various official duties.
It is impossible to impose a disciplinary sanction on the same violation, otherwise two penalties will be applied to the employee for one misconduct, which is unlawful (part 5 of article 193 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Let’s return to our example: the first disciplinary sanction can be received by an employee (if there is documentation) for poor-quality performance of official duties, the second, for example, for being late for work.
In 2004, the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (clause 33 of Resolution No. 2 of March 17, 2004) indicated that in order for dismissal on the indicated grounds to be legal and justified, two conditions must be met simultaneously:
the employee does not perform labor duties without good reason;
the employee commits a violation repeatedly, that is, he already has at least one outstanding or outstanding disciplinary sanction in the form of a remark or reprimand.
What documents to issue in order to announce a disciplinary sanction to an employee?
So, the employee did not work properly and made only 10 calls (instead of 40), and his manager requires the HR specialist to reprimand him. We considered in detail the actions of the personnel officer when issuing a disciplinary sanction in the article “Loss of confidence”.
Let’s repeat some points:
It is necessary to explain to the immediate supervisor that he must draw up a memo addressed to the head of the organization (since it is this person who, in accordance with the Charter of the organization, is authorized to be the Employer). The memo must be recorded:
– full name of the employee;
– Date and time of the violation. If a violation is detected after the end of the working day, this should also be indicated
– details of the violation itself and violation detection
– proposals of the manager on measures to influence the employee.
Indicative text of a memo for our example:
“On April 13, 2017, a call center specialist (full name) during a work shift from 9.00 to 18.00, in violation of the requirements of the job description, made 10 phone calls. I became aware of this fact in the process of summing up the results of the working day. I propose that Ivanov V. be reprimanded.”
It is necessary to explain to the immediate supervisor that a reprimand can be announced only if there is a written explanation from the employee about the reasons for non-performance of official duties. In practice, there are 2 mechanisms for obtaining explanations: written (when the employee is given a Request for explanations) and oral (when the manager orally requires an explanation from the employee). I can’t advise my HR colleagues the second way: if the employee appeals against the actions of the employer, then without the relevant document it will be very difficult to prove compliance with the requirements of paragraph 1 of Article 193 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
The requirement to provide explanations, as a rule, is prepared by HR specialists and issued to the employee, necessarily fixing the time of issuance of the document. The requirement is issued to the employee against signature. At the request of the employee, he may be given a copy of the Requirements.
After two working days, the employee must provide a written explanation. If an explanation is not provided, an Act of refusal to provide explanations must be drawn up. The act is announced to the employee in the presence of the spirit of witnesses. The employee may put a signature on familiarization with the Act, or may refuse to familiarize himself. In this case, the Act is read aloud to the employee.

Shepperton Nursery & Pre School
Hello, my name is Amy Barr and I am the Manager here at Playtime Nursery in Shepperton.
I have been working in childcare since 2001 and I am qualified level 3 in childcare and I also hold a management qualification.
I previously worked at Chapel House Day Nursery and have recently returned from maternity leave after having a little girl of my own, this has given me a much better insight of the challenges many working families have and I hope that this will support to service we are able to offer. I am very passionate about my job and I strive to ensure that every child gets to best possible care and education while at Playtime Nursery Shepperton. From working in childcare for a number of years I know how important children’s routines are and how important a stimulating environment is in meeting each individual child’s needs.
Amy – Nursery Manager
Playtime Nursery Shepperton is located on Govett Avenue, a one-minute walk from Shepperton Railway Station along a quiet road. It is also just a few minutes’ drive from Shepperton Town Centre. Our position makes us extremely convenient to get to and is a major attraction to parents.
First and foremost, we know it is our staff team and our exceptional childcare that stand out to parents but equally we know that being highly convenient to travel to is a significant practical factor in identifying the right nursery for your family.
We occupy a large building which gives us the flexibility to be able to perfectly tailor each age-specific room to the needs of its occupants. It also allows us to create lots of different spaces within each room – from cosy areas for relaxation to open spaces for activities and games. Having these options available at all times means we can offer the children the freedom to explore what interests them as individuals rather than having to adopt regimented schedules where all children have to do specific tasks at the same time.
Another unique attraction of Playtime Nursery in Shepperton for many parents is our HUGE soft play area . We’re probably the only nursery in the UK to have such an extensive and well loved facility.
We have a big outdoor play space, all laid to lawn, which is very well equipped to allow children to develop physically and enjoy a variety of outside activities and learning. Our children love this space so it is used all day every day unless the weather is especially inclement. We have more detailed information about our nursery environments on the Our Nursery page.
If we look as though we could provide a childcare solution for you, then we’d love to see you at our nursery and show you around – so please give us a call on 01932 246747 or pop in to see us, and meet our team.
What Our Parents Say
Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.
Vaibhav H (Father of Child)
My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.
B C (Father of Child)
The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It’s a home away from home.
H G (Mother of Child)
I can’t thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips – even in winter is fantastic. My child’s development is streets ahead of his peers who don’t attend nursery.
S H (Mother of Child)
The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.
Claire F (Mother of Child)
The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.
A D (Father of Child)
The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.
E S (Mother of Child)
I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy’s face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.
Alexander M (Father of Child)
My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can’t thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.
G W (Mother of Child)
Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he’s as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.

Playtime Nursery – Staines | Rating and Reviews
Highlights from Latest Inspection
What is it like to attend this early years setting?
The provision is good
Children form positive relationships with staff and demonstrate that they feel happy and safe. They benefit from an interesting environment and develop good attitudes to learning.
Children’s interests are incorporated into their learning by staff, who know them well. Children make choices about their play and enjoy exploring a range of interesting experiences, both inside and out in the garden. They love being out in the fresh air and the garden environment encourages their inquisitiveness.
Children build on their love of nature as they seek out minibeasts and talk about the birds they see. They build on their physical… skills as they climb up on the wooden climbing frame and share their skills at balancing on blocks. Older children develop good listening and concentration skills in preparation for school.
They listen attentively to stories and are confident in getting themselves ready for going out in the garden. They show their pleasure as they succeed in doing their own zips up and pulling their boots onto the right feet. Staff’s praise boosts their self-esteem and confidence.
Children understand the expectations for behaviour. They listen and respond to staff and willingly help with tasks, such as tidying resources and getting themselves ready for the garden. Children show respect for one another and share and take turns well.
They receive meaningful praise from staff, and this helps them to feel included and valued.
What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?
Since the last inspection, the management team have seriously reflected on how they can support staff practice and provide more continual professional development. They committed to closing the nursery for a week to enable staff to fully engage in targeted training to address the actions raised.
All staff share how beneficial this was and how it has really enhanced how they support children to make meaningful progress.Management undertake regular monitoring to assess how well staff implement the curriculum. Staff demonstrate that they now use effective measures to identify children’s next steps.
They note down what they want children to achieve on a whiteboard, so this detail is accessible for all staff to see. Staff interact with children well and have a good understanding of how to meet their learning intents.Parents share they have a good partnership with parents and appreciate the links they have with key staff.
Parents spoken to were happy with the information staff share with them and the details on how they can support their children’s learning at home.Management share how they have put measures in place to improve how they give information to parents. They have done an audit of their recording systems, revised their initial information gathering records and updated the information they keep on dietary preferences and allergies.
Management and staff now talk through the initial record forms parents complete with them, and share why these details are important. They address concerns in a timely manner and reflect on any learning points as a company.Staff have undertaken food hygiene training.
Mealtime routines now ensure that staff are always sitting with children while they eat and there is another staff available do any other tasks. Staff are now more aware of the hazards of choking and ensure that food is appropriately cut for the age and ability of each child.Children with emerging or identified special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported.
Staff work with parents and other professionals to implement their individual plans.Management and staff work closely with apprentice staff and their assessors to support them in developing a good knowledge and practice in childcare. Management share how they value working closely with training companies to support new staff to become qualified and good practitioners.
Staff ask questions and develop children’s thinking skills. For example, children hear and use mathematical language, such as ‘big, huge, more than’ and ‘less than’. However, at times, staff are not consistently encouraging children to build on their problem-solving skills.
For example, during sand play some staff are more skilled at encouraging children to consider how much sand they need to fill their pot and how they can do it.Staff encourage children to build on their independence skills. However, at times, staff are not consistent in reinforcing this.
Some staff encourage children to try for themselves and at the same activity other staff complete the task for the children.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.Management understand their roles as designated safeguarding leads.
They keep their knowledge up to date, such as through training, and regularly review staff’s knowledge to ensure they are confident too. Management complete robust recruitment, induction and ongoing supervision procedures to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff demonstrate their good understanding of child protection issues.
They are vigilant to the possible indicators that a child may be at risk of harm, including from extremist views. Staff are aware of how to report any concerns for a child’s welfare or the procedures to follow regarding allegations made against staff.
What does the setting need to do to improve?
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: support staff to consistently develop children’s independence skills throughout the session make greater use of opportunities to build on children’s problem-solving skills.
Day Care Centers Site
More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment.
There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.
While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced.
Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers
While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
Home child care or family childcare
Child care services
Preschool
Nursery
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.
Other Things to Think About
One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in. If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.
No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.
Switching Day Care Centers
Choosing Another Child Care Provider
So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.
Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.
In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
Child Care Options for Low Income Families
One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:
Extended Day Program
The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.
The Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.
Head Start
Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.
Child Care Voucher Program
The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.
A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.
The importance of playtime in childcare – Child’s Play ELC
There is something magical about seeing children at play as you witness their smiles, laughter and fascination at what they have just discovered.
Playtime gives children the space to discover their surrounding world in creative and fun ways, exploring and learning. Play also cultivates a child’s adventurous spirit and fires their imagination.
Importantly playtime is at the core of how a child learns, develops and shapes his/her world. Solving problems, learning to share and cooperate with other children, and the ability to freely express themselves through play are all factors that contribute positively to a child’s developing sense of self and overall self-worth.
All children in childcare should be part of an early education program that encourages exploration and discovery learning using multi-sensory, hands-on activities with plenty of time scheduled for play.
It’s time to play
Children benefit from many different types of play. Whether with their playmates, childcare friends or favourite adults, we highly recommend lots of time is set aside for spontaneous playtime.
Using a variety of simple, everyday items like banging lids, or filling kitchen containers with sand, helps encourage children to learn in multiple and meaningful ways, and supports a child’s brain development and cognitive functions, including their motor skills.
Playtime helps children with their emotional development, language, creativity and social skills. Even a simple walk in the outdoors can help stimulate children’s minds and their self-expression. Play importantly gives children a space in which to relax and/or blow off a little steam.
Through using all their five senses children learn by observing those around them. They imitate the behaviours language of the things and people they spend the most time around.
When adults set aside quality time for the play, they add immense value to a child’s world. Quality play time is unlimited in the types of activities adults can share with their children to further support and nurture their child’s learning and development.
Importantly, adults should allow children to grow and develop at their own pace. Talking with your child frequently helps teach them how everyday things work, like cooking and gardening, which leads them to better understand the more complex world around them. It also encourages conversation and questions. As one parent shared recently, prepare yourself for lots and lots of ‘why’s’.
Playtime supports early education
Playtime should ultimately be fun, so we recommend doing activities your child enjoys. Show children how to do different things then allow them to experiment and discover their own ways to do an activity e.g.; painting with their hands rather than using brushes.
Try some of these favourite fun activities and enjoyable learning experiences;
Reading with and to a child. Looking at pictures together helps children understand words.
Draw and paint pictures. Create things using dough or clay. Dress up in fancy dress. These activities encourage creativity, imagination and expression of feelings.
Use building blocks to help a child recognise different shapes and sizes, develop logic and the order of things.
Introduce the concept of maths and science using water and sand. A child can see the difference between fluids and solids, and how these things fit into different sized containers.
Body movement activities like dancing, running, playing ball games, and climbing all help to develop physical strength, coordination and flexibility skills.
Playing a variety of games both active and passive, e.g. sports games or board games, help children learn social skills, teamwork and cooperation.
Singing songs and playing simple types of musical instruments encourages listening and hearing abilities, and helps to develop rhythm.
Outdoor play and exploration
Encouraging children to explore the great outdoors through play has a wide range of advantages. It helps them learn about the diversity of the environment in which they live, the animals they share the world with and natural cycles of the day.
Whether through unstructured physical or creative play, or in learning by example, any type of outdoor activity i.e. the playground slippery slide, building sandcastles on the beach, or kicking a soccer ball on the oval, presents multiple opportunities for a child to learn and develop skills.
Spending time outdoors has numerous positive physical benefits, promotes good health and well-being, and encourages children to develop a life-long love for the outdoors.
You can help support your child’s growth, curiosity and imagination by providing unlimited opportunities to play.

Entertainment centers for children in Moscow and the best children’s playrooms
Marina Fay
Author of “Daily Baby”, mother of two children
#moscow
#where to go
#play areas
Summer is over, and with it, long walks in the fresh air. Unfortunately, Moscow autumn infrequently indulges in good weather. But kids still want to run and frolic, so they will have to move from parks and open areas to children’s playrooms and entertainment centers for children.
The entertainment industry is constantly growing. And today in Moscow, as in other large cities, there is no shortage of entertainment complexes for children of all ages.
As a rule, the best entertainment centers for children are located in the largest and most popular malls in the capital. And this is very convenient for parents: while children are having fun, adults can go shopping, for which you don’t have to go far in such places.
In addition, in most shopping centers with children’s entertainment, you can have fun and actively relax with the whole family.
Children’s playrooms
When choosing a place for children’s leisure, you should first of all focus on the age of the child. Many children’s playrooms in shopping centers in Moscow are ready to accept guests at least 3 years old and often only accompanied by adults up to a certain age. Despite the 0+ label, separate entertainment centers for children from 1 year old are not very popular.
Due to their too young age, such kids can do little on their own and the best entertainment for them is just to be with their mother.
Therefore, small children’s play areas in shopping centers are quite suitable for kids under 3 years old. Such corners with a mini-platform, a dry pool and a couple of musical attractions are equipped in almost every major shopping complex in the capital. Basically, these are free playrooms for children as a kind of bonus for shopping in this store.
Families with not only one baby, but with several children of different ages should pay attention to universal establishments with several age zones, including a playroom for children from 1 year old. In such a place, all children will play in relative proximity, and real family leisure will still take place.
Most children’s entertainment clubs in Moscow are aimed at visitors from 3-4 to 14-16 years old. For children of this age, entire entertainment cities with their own infrastructure have been erected in the capital. The modern variety of children’s entertainment facilities of this kind is sure to capture the imagination of any adult. As parents like to say, there was nothing like this in our childhood.
The best play centers for children in Moscow
Large children’s play rooms, play areas and labyrinths in shopping centers are perfect for more active recreation. If children or their parents want something more intellectual, then you should pay attention to all kinds of quests and cities of professions. I propose to start with active entertainment for children in shopping centers in Moscow.
Kosmik
This is one of the best entertainment centers for children and their parents. Or rather, the whole network. The creators of “Cosmic” attach great importance to joint family leisure. This means that there is entertainment for everyone here: bowling, billiards, laser tag, quests, family cafes and restaurants, sports broadcasts, themed entertainment events and, of course, a large playroom for kids with slides, trampolines, dry pools, labyrinths and other childish joys.
Kosmik is proud not only of the variety of its rides, but also of a staff of competent employees who are always ready to help. However, small children in the entertainment center are still not left alone: up to 4 years old – only accompanied by an adult.
On the official website, you can check the addresses of playgrounds for children in shopping centers in Moscow. Only in the capital there are already 12 of them.
Joki Joya
Joki Joya is a constantly growing network of relatively new entertainment centers in Moscow and the region. In each complex, young visitors are waiting for about 30 exciting attractions for every taste: a ranch with labyrinths and air cannons, crazy slides, foam pits, bungee jumps, enchanted webs, dry pools, air hockey, pneumatic cushions for high jumps, funny animators, various shows. programs, as well as play areas for kids – children are accepted from 0 years old. After such an active holiday, you can refresh yourself in a family cafe or, for example, in a tavern with a special cowboy menu.
See the addresses of the nearest children’s play centers in Moscow for kids Joki Joya on the official website of the network.
Zamania
Zamania is an equally interesting network of large entertainment centers for children in Moscow and the Moscow region. Each children’s play center here is unique in its own way and is equipped with dozens of the most popular attractions, among which there are definitely popular children’s labyrinths in Moscow, tubing, trampolines with climbing walls, battle complexes with air guns, bungee jumps and much more.
Zamania also hosts fun children’s parties and banquets. The smallest guests are always welcome here – there are playrooms for very young children accompanied by adults.
The network is quite extensive, club addresses can be checked on the official Zamania website.
LaserLand
These centers can hardly be called ordinary entertainment clubs for children. Rather, these are real space stations disguised as them in the four most common shopping centers of the capital: Gagarinsky shopping center, Azovsky shopping center, Vegas Kuntsevo shopping mall, Vegas Myakinino shopping mall.
Each guest of LaserLand is provided with an active holiday in a huge intergalactic arena for laser battles and extraterrestrial impressions from passing through fascinating space labyrinths. This place is not very suitable for the little ones, but it is sure to be of particular interest to teenagers. Exciting themed show programs are held here, unforgettable children’s birthdays and even adult corporate parties are organized.
Ostrov
Ostrov is a network of children’s entertainment complexes in Moscow for kids. Here you can find a completely standard set of favorite rides: a trampoline, a climbing wall, a labyrinth, an autodrome, a laser tag, a rope park, a dry pool and other fun things. A simple play area here is designed for kids from 0 to 7 years old, the rest of the entertainment areas are for older children.
Ostrov clubs currently operate in Gorod Lefortovo shopping center, Markos Mall shopping center and East Wind shopping center.
PointUp
This is a unique family sports and entertainment center for children in Moscow, located in the Stankolit business park near Savelovskaya metro station. For teenagers and their parents, a large strip of original obstacles for a fun and super active holiday awaits here: a rope park, a rodeo bull, a ninja trail, a matrix and much more. And for children, PointUp has a safe three-story play area, an entire inflatable city and an interactive wall – there is an opportunity to take the first lessons of safe mountaineering. It accepts children from the age of 3 years. However, staying without parents is possible only from the age of 5.
Virtuality
Virtuality is called an unreal amusement park. These not quite ordinary children’s entertainment centers with slides, trampolines, labyrinths and other amusements are located in the MARI and Zelenopark shopping malls. The attractions, already traditional for children’s playrooms, are here supplemented with virtual reality technologies. And this, according to eyewitnesses, is a completely new experience. In addition, people come to Virtuality to play team games and complete original quests. Active recreation here is easily combined with intellectual.
Entrance to the park is free, you only need to pay for the use of each specific game element. Entertainment is designed for children from 3 to 18 years old.
“Merry Jungle”
This is a large exotic park of all kinds of children’s entertainment: trampolines, a labyrinth, a climbing wall, one of the highest tubing slides in Russia, various thematic areas. The park provides a special safe play area for kids from 1 to 3 years old. You can buy a separate ticket for it, or a complex one – for visiting all the attractions. Children up to the age of 14 come to the park with their parents.
Children’s entertainment center “Merry Jungle” is formally located in Krasnogorsk in the shopping center “June”, the nearest metro stations are Mitino, Skhodnenskaya, Tushino.
The best children’s entertainment centers in Moscow
Now let’s list the places intended for a more peaceful and intellectual holiday.
“Alice. Return to Wonderland
New multimedia entertainment center for children Alisa. Return to Wonderland” in the Central Children’s World is a truly amazing place where you can touch miracles. The creators have embodied in the park the motifs of the world-favorite fairy tale, combined with modern technologies of augmented reality. Visitors from the age of 5 are allowed to do whatever they want here. And this opportunity leaves no one indifferent.
This place is rightfully at the top of the rating of entertaining children’s centers in Moscow with an intellectual and fabulous character.
More details about the wonders of the best playroom for children in Moscow can be found on the official website.
Kids City
This is a children’s city of professions at the Prazhskaya metro station in the IFC Columbus. For young visitors, there are 50 exciting themed areas where you can try yourself in a variety of professional roles. Every child from 5 to 15 years old will find an interesting and necessary job here. Experts say that through such a high-quality role-playing game, children are able to develop their interests, realize their purpose in society, and even take a real step towards their future profession.
Toddlers up to 4 years old are invited to development classes in the city kindergarten. Everything is grown-up.
In addition, a real Academy functions in the city of professions. Young guests can choose a thematic route according to their taste and age, and after passing it, they will receive the title of a graduate of the KidsCity Academy and memorable gifts.
KidBurg
KidBurg is another model of the adult world for young explorers aged 1.5 to 14. Post office, bank, labor exchange, city hall, port, TV studio – this city of professions has all the same organizations and institutions that are so necessary for adults in a modern metropolis. In any of them, small residents of this unusual city can get their first professional experience with an entry in a personal work book, and even earn at the same time albeit a toy, but quite real money.
Having visited such a children’s entertainment complex once, many come back here again and again until they build a dizzying career.
Such children’s towns are open in the shopping centers “Riviera”, “Zelenopark”, “MEGA Belaya Dacha” and in the “Central Children’s World”.
See the conditions for visiting each city of professions “KidBurg” on the official website of the network.
“KidZania”
“KidZania” is arranged according to approximately the same entertaining and educational principle. Here, visitors aged 4 to 16 can imagine themselves as adults and try on more than 100 real professions, and, of course, have a lot of fun and learn useful skills for life. This is a well-thought-out entertainment center for children and teenagers in Moscow. The address of the children’s playroom is the Aviapark shopping and entertainment center on Khodynsky Boulevard 4. The nearest metro stations are CSKA and Airport.
By the way, KidZania celebrates its birthday in September — as much as 20 years! In honor of this event, the game club for children gives discounts.
The cold season is no reason to stay at home. Choose the most interesting sports, entertainment and just play centers in Moscow for children and have fun with the whole family!

Today, there are a large number of different sports and entertainment complexes for children and adults: rope parks, trampoline centers, indoor parks and activity zones, giving a lot of impressions and adventures. Any such park is primarily active entertainment. Controlling the passage to a multifunctional park is difficult, as is the analysis of its operation. It is important for an entertainment center for children to build the principle of a single entrance to the play area. In most cases, an advance payment system is chosen: a visitor buys 1/2/3 hours and a whole day of being in an activity park, or a credit system: services are issued to visitors “on credit”, which is repaid at the exit. With this scheme, it is especially important to control visitors at the exit from the activity park. To solve the problem of control in the Activity Park (children’s playrooms, trampoline parks, indoor amusement parks) and provide ample opportunities for automation, the Lime system allows. Each entrance to the rope park route, passage to the attraction or to the game room is equipped with a turnstile and a contactless reader: with them, entry is possible only after paying with a bracelet or card.
Tasks solved with the help of the Lime ticketing system
centralized management and control of the entire complex from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access;
convenient workplaces for personnel based on payment terminals – this increases traffic several times on highly loaded days and weekends;
full control over the work of employees;
creation of a clear structure for the work of all divisions of the complex;
detailed statistics on the results of the center’s work;
the possibility of quick and trouble-free connection to the system of additional equipment when expanding the complex;
management of all financial flows of an amusement park;
processing and analysis of data on the client base – this makes it possible to create individual offers to clients;
increase in the speed of service for park guests;
reduce employee abuse and uncontrollable losses – for example, due to theft and damage to property;
increase in the profit of the institution by 30-40%;
convenient organization of marketing activities and advertising events to attract new customers;
the use of subscriptions and connection of service packages – this is especially important when holding children’s holidays and birthdays.
When organizing a ticket system for indoor parks or children’s entertainment centers, special attention must be paid to legal security. The Lime ticketing system performs the following functions:
registers visitors;
captures their age;
designates a responsible adult for each child;
issues a printout of the liability agreement;
monitors the entry and exit of children through child-adult dual reading;
provides a convenient single account service for the whole family.
In addition, an important aspect is online sales. In order for an entertainment center to receive revenue via the Internet, the system must provide an intuitive interface for ordering services with a convenient choice of your stay program. Competition within the city among children’s entertainment centers is quite strong, so such a tool to fight for your visitor is extremely important. The Lime ticketing system provides extensive tools: fleet performance analytics, the ability to upload reports to external CRM systems, create and send mailings according to specified parameters, and much more.
The structure of the Lime ticketing system for indoor parks
There are two options for organizing entry and exit to the playing area:
Turnstile + validator
The turnstile can be in two versions.
The first one is a tripod turnstile to the children’s center
Its advantages:
compactness – the tripod takes up little space;
easy to install and maintain;
low cost.
Its disadvantages:
the need for an employee next to the turnstile in the activity park due to its design feature with barrier bars. A small child can run under them and get into the play area or run back.
The second option is a swing turnstile for playrooms
Its advantages:
aesthetically beautiful appearance;
Due to the full height glass doors of the turnstile, the possibility of small children entering the play area is excluded, so an additional employee is not needed to control entry and exit.
Its disadvantages:
higher cost;
requires more free space to install.
The validator is used to read a card, ticket or wristband to enter the gaming area
Mobile reader + employee
The employee is given a mobile phone at the entrance and exit (link to the site section). The visitor presents the purchased ticket, card, bracelet or code in the mobile application to the activity park employee. The employee reads the information carrier and lets the visitor into the playing area, or lets him out of it.
Option advantage:
Minimum entry point price.
Lack of option:
Requires an employee at the entrance / exit of the play area.
Lime ticketing system in the play area supports three types of visitor information media:
Contactless card
The visitor receives it at the box office, the information is recorded on the card. When entering and exiting the playing area, the visitor applies it to the validator or mobile access point.
Media options for access to the play area
1. Contactless card in the children’s, trampoline or activity park
The visitor receives it at the box office, information is recorded on the card. When entering and exiting the playing area, the visitor applies it to the validator or mobile access point.
Benefits:
the same card in the park can be used for luggage storage;
can be used to pay for cafe services and other places in the park;
low cost of introducing cards;
intuitiveness of use by the visitor by analogy with a bank card.
Disadvantages:
the card must be stored somewhere in the playing area;
can fall out of your pocket and get lost.
Rubber bracelet
Technically works the same as a card.
2. Rubber wristband
Technically works the same as a card.
Benefits:
can be used for luggage storage;
can be used to pay for cafe services and other places in the park;
is hard to lose;
is comfortable to wear, always at hand.
Disadvantages:
higher implementation cost compared to a contactless card.
Paper ticket
The ticket is printed on a fiscal printer along with a receipt.
3. Paper ticket for visitors to playgrounds
The ticket is printed on a fiscal printer together with a receipt.
Benefits:
minimal cost of implementation.
Disadvantages:
cannot be used for luggage storage, payment for cafes and other park services;
is easy to lose.
4. Mobile application on the phone for the children’s center
Advantages:
no need to queue for a ticket; parents take the phone with them to the play area in any case.
Benefits of choosing the Lime system for the children’s activity center
By choosing the Lime ticketing system, you get a comprehensive solution that is convenient both for strategic purposes and solving everyday business tasks, as well as for visitors to the children’s entertainment center. You get the following benefits:
the possibility of flexible adjustment to the structure and scale of your indoor park or entertainment center;
selection of a configuration for your budget and capabilities;
the most modern technological solution for automation;
training of employees in the use of the system;
no need for additional contractors – we provide all the hardware and software;
24/7 technical support.
The Lime ticketing system is full automation and control of well-established processes, wide development opportunities and a guarantee of high profitability for your business.

Children’s playrooms
With whom to leave the child during a long shopping or urgent business? The best solution to this issue is to leave the baby in the children’s playroom, where he will play and have fun in safety. Such play areas for children are everywhere:
in large shopping and entertainment centers
at shops
near banks
at cafe
near dental offices
near beauty salons and hairdressers
Parents pay for the service depending on the number of hours the child spends in the playroom. For kids, this is an interesting, exciting game and fun pastime, and for parents – free time that can be spent on other things.
The equipment of the playroom in Kirov includes a labyrinth, a dry pool with balls, a trampoline, a carousel, a corner for creativity (drawing and modeling), slides, an equipped place for watching cartoons or for computer and board games. There may also be a corner for tea drinking with cookies and sweets.
Additional services in the children’s play areas include physical development exercises, foreign language teaching and creative activities. For children, animators offer entertainment programs and competitions. Parents can not only leave their child here for an hour or two, but also order a themed birthday or children’s party.

Recent Review:
It’s a wonderful program. One thing that I specifically like about it is that it is reading focused in my opinion, because they encourage the kids to read and gain that knowledge. Especially as we live in a lowincome area where our schools haven’t even have libraries this past full year. So the main focus is to get all elementary school and and the middle schools a library back or at least volunteering to do books. With them having that capability of offering the resources to make sure that children read and are lifelong learners is a strong point for me as I’m an advocate for reading. They grabbed my attention from that point on and I would definitely recommend anyone to try them out and see for yourself how they are focused on education but at the same time making it fun for the child. With their after school program and the tutoring it makes my kids see that it’s not just me pushing them to read but also others in the community who want to see them succeed and do the best that they can. I wish them the best and hope that they continue to support the families and the success of each child while exploring great things through learning. …

Inclusion in Early Childhood
Pennsylvania’s PROMISE for Children, known as PA Promise, is a campaign to help families make good choices about their child’s early learning and choose quality early learning programs that are right for their families. The Pennsylvania Office of Early Learning and Development (OCDEL) is the primary partner in PA Promise.
INFOGRAPHIC: THE BENEFITS OF INCLUSION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Early Childhood Education
Pennsylvania ECE programs have worked for years to establish inclusive program policies and opportunities for all young children and increase the number of children with disabilities in ECE programs. OCDEL will continue building on the success of this work to ensure access to high-quality inclusive programming is available for all young children and their families.
Get details, including the next steps, in the Announcement DS-03, Inclusion of All Children in Early Childhood Education Programs in Pennsylvania.
Suspensions and Expulsions
A child’s first five years are the most critical for neurological development. This is why responding to young children’s behaviors by suspending or expelling them from early childhood education (ECE) programs threatens their well-being during a critical period of learning.
To highlight ways in which early childhood education (ECE) professionals should work to focus on preventative and responsive strategies for healthy child development, Trying Together has released a white paper entitled, “A Pathway to Reduce and Eliminate Early Childhood Suspensions and Expulsions.” This white paper is meant to provide guidance for stakeholders at all levels – teachers in the classroom, directors of programs, early interventionists, quality coaches, mental and behavioral health specialists, advocates, families, and policymakers.
From birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Track your child’s development online and act early if you have a concern. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also developed a downloadable milestone tracker mobile app for your phone.
Developmental Milestones Checklist: What changes should you expect as your child grows? This checklist is provided by PA Promise, a campaign to help families make good choices about their child’s early learning and choose quality early learning programs that are right for their family.
Are You Concerned About Your Child’s Development?
Call Pennsylvania’s CONNECT Helpline at 1-800-692-7288 for information about your child’s development and connecting to Early Intervention services in Pennsylvania.
What is Early Intervention?
Early Intervention in Beaver County provides coaching support and services to families with children, from birth to age five, with developmental delays and disabilities. Early intervention builds upon the natural learning opportunities that occur within the daily routines of a child and their family.
Early Intervention supports services and resources for children that enhance daily opportunities for learning provided in settings where a child would be if they did not have a developmental delay and disability, provides families’ independence and competencies, and respects families’ strengths, values and diversity. Supports and services are designed to meet the developmental needs of children with a disability, as well as the needs of the family related to enhancing the child’s development in one or more of the following areas: • Physical development, including vision and hearing • Cognitive development • Communication development • Social or emotional development • Adaptive development
Eligibility and Services: Children from birth to age five who have special needs due to developmental delays and disabilities are eligible to receive Early Intervention services. The services provided to children and their families differ based upon the individual needs and strengths of each child and the child’s family. Services may be provided in the child’s home, child care center, nursery school, play group, Head Start program, early childhood special education classroom or other settings familiar to the family. Early Intervention supports and services are embedded in typical routines and activities, within the family, community and/or early care and education settings. This approach provides frequent, meaningful practice and skill-building opportunities.
Costs: Early Intervention services are provided at no cost to families.
Beaver County provides a comprehensive intake with resources and information for families to learn about their rights, the benefits of the program, and family engagement opportunities.

Caring for a newborn baby and some features of your baby.
Newborn baby care and some features of your little one.
DEAR MOMS!
You and your children are now in a very responsible period. The period of adaptation to new conditions in life. You and your children are now very weak and therefore very susceptible to many diseases. Even where there is no disease, but there is a high contamination with microbes, conditions for infection and disease arise. You should know that extra contacts in the first weeks after birth for the mother and child is an extra contamination, so visits from relatives and friends should not be abused. Hands must be washed after going to the toilet, making phone calls, etc. before taking your baby.
There are some physiological features of newborns that sometimes frighten mothers. For example, the skin: in the first few days of life they are red – due to dilated subcutaneous vessels, dry – because the top layer of cells exfoliates. Often on the third day of life, the baby’s skin turns yellow.
Jaundice, in the first days occurs in approximately 75-80% of newborns. Such jaundice is called “physiological”, in other words, natural. It does not affect the general condition of the child, his appetite, and even more so does not pose a danger to the life of the newborn. It appears on the 2-3rd day after birth, reaches its peak by the 5-6th day of life and disappears without a trace by the 7-10th day. However, sometimes jaundice can be a manifestation of certain diseases. Therefore, the doctor observes the baby every day and, if necessary, prescribes treatment – phototherapy. After a session of such a “tan”, the skin of the baby noticeably brightens.
Toxic erythema – occurs on the 2-5th day of life. The rashes are like mosquito bites. After 2-3 days after the appearance, the rash disappears without a trace. Treatment is usually not required. Errors in the nutrition of a nursing mother can provoke toxic erythema. Therefore, for a while, stop eating citrus fruits, chocolate, honey and other allergenic foods. Breastfeed – diet!
When does the umbilical cord fall off? After birth, the umbilical cord is cut, leaving a small part – the umbilical cord residue (approximately 1.5 cm). It disappears on its own, usually on the 3-5th day of life. After the umbilical cord falls off, an umbilical wound forms, requiring careful care. The umbilical wound can become an “exit gate” for infection. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling the wound. Treat the umbilical wound 2 times a day, before morning feeding and after bathing the baby in the evening. 10-14 days after birth, the umbilical wound is normal – dry and clean. There should be no discharge from the wound, discoloration of the skin around the navel. If changes persist, be sure to consult a doctor.
Weight loss Regardless of birth weight, a child develops weight loss in the first days of life. The maximum weight loss is usually observed on the 3-4th, less often the 5th day and should be no more than 10% of body weight at birth. Starting from the 4-5th day, the baby begins to gradually add and by the 10th day should restore its weight at birth.
Muscle tone – the minimum muscle tension that is maintained at rest. Normally, the tone of the newborn is slightly increased. This helped him maintain the embryonic position in utero. During the first six months after birth, the tone gradually weakens until it becomes the same as in an adult.
The child’s digestive system is also adapting to new living conditions. The child’s intestines, previously sterile, begin to be populated by microflora. Usually during the first or second day of life, the child has the first stool – meconium. It turns out everything that the baby has accumulated while being in his mother’s tummy. Do not be alarmed, after 2-3 days the stool will change and take the form of overcooked milk – yellow in color with a specific sour-milk smell and the consistency of semolina. Although for 2-3 weeks it can still remain unstable. On the 1st-2nd day, the child can spit up light water or milk. But if you notice a green impurity or bloody streaks when spitting up, contact your pediatrician.
Often by the end of the first week of life in children there are signs of a sexual crisis. In boys, the mammary glands swell, in girls, in addition, mucous and sometimes bloody discharges appear from the genital slit. This is due to the fact that mother’s sexual hormones accumulate in the body of the crumbs. In no case do not apply any compresses to the mammary glands, and even more so do not try to squeeze something out of them. Girls need to be washed with boiled or running water, not trying to remove the entire mucous plug at once, but carefully removing the easily separated mucus. Usually, by the 10-14th day of a child’s life, the problem is solved by itself.
Helpful Tips
This tip is about thermoregulation. All protective mechanisms of the baby are aimed at heating his tiny body. Therefore, if the child is cool, these mechanisms are activated. And the baby does not freeze for a long time. He moves, cries, attracts taking out and warms up at the same time. Mom will easily understand that the child should be dressed warmer or covered with a blanket. The situation is different with overheating. The mechanisms aimed at cooling the body in a newborn child do not yet function. He does not know how to sweat, and the muscles are physiologically in good shape – it is quite difficult for a baby to relax them. It is very easy for a heavily wrapped child to overheat. Therefore, it is better to dress the baby in the same way as you dress yourself. And in a dream, just cover it with a thin flannelette blanket or a warm diaper.
Skin care.
As a mother, you should be aware that long-term exposure to urine or feces disrupts the pH balance of the skin and hence its protective function. Wet skin, in turn, is easily damaged by even the slightest friction of clothes or diapers. In addition, when urine comes into contact with feces, as a result of a chemical reaction, ammonia can be formed, which also negatively affects the baby’s skin. Here are some tips to help you prevent diaper rash from the start:
– put disposable diapers on the child only if there are no allergic reactions
– leave the child without a diaper more often during the day and give him air baths for 10-15 minutes 3-4 times a day. In addition, do not “steam” the baby in diapers in the summer, when it is more than + 25 degrees outside
– it is very important to purchase diapers by size: the packages indicate for which age categories they are suitable
– so that the diaper does not irritate the skin, use a cream under a diaper with zinc oxide, glycerin and panthenol or use powder, first apply it on your palms and only then on the baby’s skin
– use only high-quality diapers that absorb moisture well
– change the diaper every 3-4 hours, but remember that there are no hard and fast rules and recommendations indicating the exact time
– clean the skin in the groin area after each bowel movement
– don’t put the diaper on too tight to allow air to circulate
Following these tips will keep your baby’s skin clean and healthy.
Inexperienced parents for some reason believe that the baby is terribly fragile. Of course, the baby is still quite vulnerable in many respects, but making a porcelain doll out of a newborn is at least stupid. Just like you, he is made of blood and flesh, which is quite reliable. Therefore, even a two-day-old child can be picked up quite calmly and not be afraid that something will fall off from him. Many young mothers are afraid of the instability of the newborn’s head. What if, due to an awkward movement, the cervical vertebrae are damaged? Do not worry, it has been proven in practice, even if the head is thrown back, it will not cause any harm to the baby. Tilt your head forward and it’s completely safe. When you are lying in a maternity hospital with a child, you must have noticed how “unceremoniously” doctors treat babies. They spin them in different directions. This is not because they are such monsters, they just know how “strong armor” a newborn has. And there really is nothing to fear. The child takes care of himself and his health. If he is cold, he will cry so that he will be heard in the next entrance, the lamp is shining brightly – he will start blinking and worry, he has not eaten enough – he will require additional food by crying. So for a person who is less than a month old, a baby can take good care of himself.
To swaddle or not to swaddle?
Modern mothers are sure that diapers are a relic of the past. And really, is it really necessary to restrict the baby in movement, to make an Egyptian mummy out of him? After all, sooner or later the child will still have to wear crawlers. What’s wrong if the baby is already in the first month of life to get acquainted with their arms, legs, body.
– The baby wakes himself up with his hands at night! exclaim the adherents of the old traditions.
A person gets used to everything. This also applies to the newborn. Well, mom will suffer for three nights, and on the fourth – the problem with the handles will disappear: the baby will just get used to his limbs. You just need to wear baby’s undershirts with closed sleeves to protect the baby’s face from scratches. For a baby up to a month old who is not swaddled, two cold and two warm suits of size 18 are enough. If the mother’s love for diapers is still indestructible, then swaddle for health. It is very difficult to convey in words the technique of swaddling. Therefore, dear mothers, do not hesitate to ask the nurse caring for children in the maternity hospital to show you their trademark swaddling technique.
Newborn’s toilet
There is nothing complicated and intricate in the hygiene of an infant in the first and subsequent months of his life. You just need to adapt and make it a rule to perform some procedures for the baby every morning:
1. Washing the baby’s face is wiped with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. Wipe the eyes with a semi-dry cotton swab in the direction from the ear to the nose. A separate swab is used for each eye so as not to infect. Sometimes the eyes of a newborn fester a little, and this causes panic among parents. If after washing the eyes return to normal, then there is nothing to worry about. After a week, these secretions will disappear, and the eyes will stop “blooming”. If the discharge does not stop, and the eyelids turn red, hurry to contact an ophthalmologist.
2. Nose A newborn does not yet understand that it is possible to breathe not only through the nose, but also through the mouth. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the nose especially carefully. Every morning, clean it with a cotton flagellum. If dry crusts have accumulated inside, soak a cotton swab in petroleum jelly. You can use the drug “Rinnolux”. The first nozzles are sucked out of the nose with a special device. We will not specify its scientific name. Ask the pharmacy for a “sock pump” and you will be understood. Parents may be alarmed by the baby’s constant sneezing, but this is not a cold. Among other things, the child’s nose has a self-cleaning system. Invisible hairs on the inner walls of the nose constantly push mucus and dust out. In this case, a tickling sensation arises, which makes the newborn often sneeze.
3. Roth is not specially treated with anything. But to ensure that white spots (thrush) do not appear on the mucous membrane of the mouth, it is simply necessary. How to cope with this disease, the pediatrician will tell you.
4. Ears Never go inside the ear. In the first month you have nothing to do there. Wax in the ear canal is formed to protect it. Treat only the outer part of the ear and behind it.
5. Nails they grow quite quickly in a newborn. You need to have remarkable courage to approach tiny fingers with a sharp object (manicure or children’s scissors). And yet, you can’t start the growth of marigolds, otherwise your child will scratch himself no worse than a cat.
6. Skin on the body of a newborn for the first time after birth may be full of various purple-bluish spots, large white dots that slightly protrude above the skin of the forehead, cheeks, and lips. This is not a disease. The spots will fade over time and disappear. And white dots are only harmless formations and indicate blockage of the sebaceous glands. However, the baby’s skin is a screen that reflects the state of the whole organism of a small person. The doctor knows about this and at each examination pays attention to all suspicious spots. Normal baby skin is soft, velvety, covered with a gentle fluff.
7. Sweating young mothers do not immediately begin to understand how to dress a child at home and on the street. Most often they wrap up the baby, afraid of catching a cold. As a result, small pink pimples form on the baby’s body, surrounded by patches of reddened skin. This is the notorious sweatshirt. Usually it starts around the neck, and if you continue to wrap the child, then the chest, back, face and even ears will be affected. Prickly heat does not require special treatment from a doctor, but the mother herself must resist this scourge. It is necessary to follow the rule: first of all, the skin should be clean (wash, buy), secondly – dry (dry + air baths) and only thirdly use creams, oils, etc. There is no universal “recipe”! It is your “art” how you will ensure that your baby’s skin is clean, pink and velvety.
8. The fontanel is located at the top of the head. Where the four bones of the skull, not yet fused, meet. The size of the fontanel in all newborns is different. So don’t let the big fontanel bother you. In good light, you can see how it pulsates. In vain, parents are afraid to touch the fontanel. It is covered with a strong film, and when stroking it, it cannot be damaged in any way.
9. Care of the genitals special care in the first month of life, and later, the genitals of children do not require. Routine hygiene, including daily washing. The genitals of a newborn should simply be washed after he has peed. However, this is quite problematic if the mother uses expensive disposable diapers. In this case, it is enough to wash the child after each diaper change. Girls may have vaginal discharge immediately after birth. Calm down, moms, it’s quite normal. The mucus is usually white, thick and sticky. Allocations do not matter, they do not require treatment.
10. BATHING THE NEWBORN. The air temperature in the bathing room should be 24-26 degrees, and the water temperature should be 37 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can measure the temperature of the water with your elbow. At a temperature of 37 degrees, the skin on the elbow does not feel either heat or cold. The child is dipped into boiled water, not forgetting to add potassium permanganate there. Just do not pour the crystals directly into the bath. Make a solution of potassium permanganate in a half-liter jar and only add it to the water. Potassium permanganate can be alternated with a decoction of herbs (chamomile, succession, etc.). By doing this, you will not leave prickly heat the slightest chance. Washing a newborn with soap is enough twice a week. The rest of the time, the baby is simply washed with water with a strained decoction of herbs. Already in the first month of a child’s life, a mother can begin to harden her baby. To do this, after bathing, pour water on the baby, the temperature of which is 1 degree colder than in the bath. The final stage of bathing is the procedure for the toilet of the newborn, which was mentioned above. And lastly, it is better to bathe the baby in the evening, before nightly feeding.
11. WALKS. After 2-3 weeks after birth (in the summer in the second week), the baby can be taken out for a walk. Usually in winter, the first 10-minute walk is done when it is not very cold and windy (frost is not more than 8-10 degrees). Gradually, the duration of the walks increases. You can also use the balcony for regular sleep of the child in the air. Sleep in the air is the strongest and deepest, the most useful. Therefore, try to maximize the sleep of children in the air. In summer, walking is not limited. You should only try to walk in the shade. The child should spend 5-6 hours daily in the fresh air. During the walk, the face should be open.
12. COLIC. Is the baby crying out short and piercingly? Pressing legs? How long does it take to calm down? Most likely, these are intestinal colic, which often bother babies. There are many reasons for this – gases in the intestines, features of the digestive system, a tendency to food allergies, increased excitability.
It is very harmful for a baby to wrap himself tightly in several blankets, when the upper corner of one of them covers his face. Under these conditions, blood circulation becomes difficult. Deep breathing is impossible. Exhaled air accumulates under the covers and does not have time to exchange. With any walk, the child must breathe through the nose. If the child has a runny nose, it is advisable to create a “street” in the room. The child can be dressed as for a walk and open the window. The duration of such a walk is normal, like on the street. After the end of such a walk, the child should be left dressed in the street until the air in the room warms up to 20-22 ° C. if after a walk you find wet undershirts in a baby, then he is overheated and it is necessary to lighten his clothes. Overheating is hazardous to health.
The best medicine is physical and spiritual warmth. When the baby warms up and calms down, the smooth muscles of the intestines relax and the pain goes away. Take the child in your arms, hug it to you, whisper gentle words in your ear – and he will calm down.
Apply a warm heating pad to the tummy, a flannel diaper ironed and folded several times, or a woolen scarf wrapped in clean gauze. Prevent colic: put the baby on the tummy during the day before each feeding, and after feeding, hold it in a “column” until the air comes out (5-30 minutes). If your tummy continues to hurt and you can’t help it, let your doctor know. He will examine the child and prescribe any drug.
Grow big and healthy for the joy of mom, dad and everyone around!

Parents are entitled to childbirth allowance and parental benefit if the child is stillborn or dies within 70 days.
Childbirth allowance
One of the parents is also entitled to childbirth allowance in case of stillbirth from the 22nd week of pregnancy. The allowance is one-time, in the amount of 320 euros. The right to receive childbirth allowance arises on the day the child is born.
Parental benefit
If the mother works and is entitled to compensation for temporary disability
From April 1, 2022, a working mother is entitled to maternity leave and mother’s parental benefit for 100 consecutive calendar days starting from the 22nd week of pregnancy if the child is born dead or will die within 70 calendar days. During this period, the mother is covered by health insurance.
If a mother started exercising her right to mother’s parental benefit before the child was stillborn, she is entitled to mother’s parental benefit and maternity leave for a total of 100 calendar days. For example, if a mother took maternity leave 70 calendar days before the birth of a child and started exercising her right to parental compensation to the mother after the birth of the child. dead, she is entitled to an additional 30 calendar days of maternity leave and parental benefit, for a total of 100 calendar days. If a mother took leave, for example, 30 calendar days before the birth, she is entitled to another 70 calendar days of maternity leave and parental compensation to the mother after the stillbirth of the child, for a total duration of 100 calendar days.
An exception is also made here for mothers who, by the day of the child’s death, have already used the mother’s parental benefit in the amount of more than 70 calendar days. In this case, the mother is entitled to the mother’s parental benefit additionally within 30 consecutive calendar days from the day following the day of the child’s death. This means that no matter how many days the mother managed to use the mother’s parental benefit by the day of the child’s death, 30 calendar days of parental leave and parental benefit are guaranteed from the day of the child’s death.
If the child dies at the time when the mother has managed to start using the already distributed parental benefit, the mother is re-registered as a recipient of the mother’s parental benefit.
If the mother does not work
From April 1, 2022, a non-working mother is entitled to receive mother’s parental benefit within 30 consecutive calendar days from the day following the day of the child’s death, i.e. parental benefit cannot be received distributed by day over a long period of time, but if desired, you must use all 30 days in a row. During this period, the mother is covered by health insurance.
Fathers
From April 1, 2022, the father is entitled to paternity leave and father’s parental benefit for 30 consecutive calendar days after the death of the child, regardless of whether the father used the right to paternity leave and father’s parental benefit before the estimated date of birth of the child or before the death of the child. Father’s parental benefit cannot be received on a daily basis over a long period of time, but if desired, all 30 days in a row must be used. In the case of fathers, there is no difference between granting and paying parental benefit, regardless of whether the father is working or not.
In order to receive family benefits, parents do not need to contact us and apply themselves. The Department of Social Insurance automatically obtains stillbirth information by exchanging data between the health information system and the social protection information system so that it is also possible to proactively offer family benefits to bereaved parents.
Additional parental paternity benefit is a type of benefit paid to fathers to enable them to take more part in the upbringing of their children. For working fathers, this is also accompanied by a 30-day leave from the employer.
For how long is compensation paid and for how long should it be scheduled?
You can receive additional parental benefit for a father for a total of 30 days, and not necessarily in a row (that is, the benefit can be received in installments). Supplemental parental benefit to the father can be received both during the period when the mother receives the parental allowance or the birth allowance (30 days before the expected date of birth of the child), and later.
The father is entitled to additional parental benefit until the child reaches the age of 3 or until the father receives regular parental benefit. Paternity leave cannot be separated from the receipt of compensation. If the father wishes to receive regular parental benefit without receiving additional parental benefit but does not notify us of the waiver of paternity leave, the Social Insurance Board will not be able to grant parental benefit until the father confirms his wish to waive paternity leave or use his. To fully waive paternity leave, you must submit an application to us.
Labor relations during paternity leave
While on paternity leave, the father must take a break from work at all his employers. The period of vacation use is entered in the Employment Register. During paternity leave, the father should not work and receive income! The principle of regular parental benefit does not apply, so the amount of parental benefit is not reduced when a maximum of half of the compensation has been received.
In accordance with the Law on Employment Contracts, an employer may refuse to grant leave if the notice of the desire to receive it is less than 14 days in advance and for a period of less than 7 calendar days. Supplementary parental benefit to the father within the meaning of the Employment Contracts Act is a normal rest period, therefore, being on paternity leave does not adversely affect the calculation of annual leave and these days are considered working days when determining annual leave. Like being on vacation, parental leave does not reduce seniority.
Non-working fathers (including also individual entrepreneurs (FIE) or representatives of the so-called liberal professions (e.g. notaries, bailiffs, sworn translators, auditors, bankrupt bailiffs), as well as persons working on the basis of a contract assignments and work contracts, etc. under the law of obligations, or members of the governing body of a legal entity) also receive additional parental benefit to the father for 30 calendar days. It can be used at any appropriate time from 30 days before the child’s due date until the child reaches 3 years of age. The father can decide for himself whether he wants to receive the compensation in full at one time or in installments.
How to apply?
Be sure to talk to your child’s mother and, if you have an employment relationship, also to your employer before you apply. It must be borne in mind that the employer may refuse to grant a vacation of less than 7 days if you notify him less than 14 days in advance. If the employer agrees, there are no restrictions on our part – you can go on vacation from any day.
The application for additional parental benefit is made through the self-service environment. If you wish to take advantage of the leave until the birth of the child, you must indicate the personal code of the child’s mother and the expected date of his birth. After the baby is born, you will find a pre-filled offer in the self-service environment. If you are unable to use the self-service environment, please contact us at [email protected].
If you are registered in the Employment Register as a person with a valid employment relationship, you will need to provide your employer’s email address. You should also include the email address of the mother of the child. The self-service system will send them a notice of your leave application and put it on hold for 5 days. You don’t need to do anything else.
The employer and the child’s mother have 5 working days to tell us if they disagree with your leave application. If your employer or the child’s mother does not submit their objections, the system will automatically enter a leave note in the Employment Register after 5 working days.
We will calculate the amount of your compensation and pay it to you at the beginning of the next month (the payout date is the 8th of each month).
How is paternity leave calculated?
Additional parental benefit to the father is calculated according to the same rules as regular parental benefit.
To calculate the benefit, we first subtract the 9 full calendar months prior to the birth of the child (i.e., the average length of pregnancy, regardless of whether the child was born on time, premature, or postterm) and calculate the parental benefit based on income for the previous 12 calendar months. If the father takes a vacation in installments over several months, the average income for those calendar months is divided by the number of days in the month and then multiplied by the number of days the benefit is received.
The amount of compensation depends on the amount of social tax paid on the income received. Since the income is calculated based on the social tax paid during the 12 months of the reporting period, the amount based on the reporting period may differ from the exact income received at that time, so it is worth paying attention to the social tax paid during this period. You can read more about how parental benefits are calculated here. You can also use the parental benefit calculator (informative).
The minimum rate of parental benefit is the minimum wage rate of the previous calendar year in effect on January 1 (in 2022: 584 euros). The maximum amount of parental benefit is three times the average salary in Estonia calculated on the basis of the law for the previous year (4043.07 euros in 2022).
Example 1: During the reference period, the father earned 1,500 euros per month. He went on paternity leave from January 14, 2021 to February 13, 2021, thus being on paternity leave for 30 consecutive days. Consequently, he was on parental leave for 17 days in January and 13 days in February. In January, the amount of his additional parental benefit amounted to (1500/31×17) 822.58 euros, in February – (1500/28×13) 696.43 euros.
Example 2: During the period taken as the basis for the calculation, the father earned 1200 euros per month. He took one week of paternity leave in January 2021, two weeks in February and the remaining 9 days in March. Thus, the amount of his additional parental benefit amounted to (1200/31×7) 270.97 euros in January, (1200/28×14) 600 euros in February and (1200/31×9) 348.39 euros in March .
Other things to remember:
If several children were born in a family after 1 July 2020 at short intervals, then the right to 30 days of paternity leave and / or additional parental benefit to the father arises in connection with each child. Compensation / leave for each child should be used at different times – leave cannot be received at one time for all children, nor can multiple compensation be received in one period.
Twins are subject to one period, regardless of the number of twins.
If the family wants the father to receive both regular parental allowance and additional parental benefit to the father in succession, the first 30 days are always considered to be the period of additional parental benefit to the father. The father can start receiving regular parental allowance from the day when the child is at least 70 days old and the mother’s maternity sheet is closed.
If you are on sick leave, it is recommended that you interrupt your paternity leave by notifying the Social Insurance Board as soon as possible. If you interrupt your paternity leave, the unused days are kept by you and can be used after your sick leave is closed.
Starting on September 1, 2019 no longer assigned a child to care for
due to children born from September 1, 2019, 666666666 child care fee is no longer charged for a newborn baby or any other child growing up in the family . The state will gradually link the free funds with the new system of parental benefit in the period 2020-2022.
For all families where a child is born no later than August 31, 2019, we assign and pay a childcare fee on the previous basis.
Also for those who have already been assigned a childcare allowance as of August 31, 2019, we will continue to pay benefits . We will continue paying the child care allowance until it ends, but no later than August 31, 2024.
At the same time, only one parent in the family is entitled to child care allowance (after the end of receiving parental benefit), if the family grows:
child under 3 years old – 38.36 euros per month for each child under 3 years old.
In addition, we pay a lower childcare allowance for children aged 3 to 8 if:
from 3 to 8 years – 19. 18 euros per month also for a child aged 3 to 8 years;
there are 3 or more children in the family receiving child benefit – 19.18 euros per month for each child aged 3 to 8 years.
If a child turns 8 in first grade, we will pay child care until the end of first grade, which is August 31st. If the child turns 8 in the second grade, or if the child is not in school, we will pay Child Care Allowance until the end of the month in which the child’s birthday is.
To be on parental leave and receive childcare allowance may be someone else instead of the child’s parent. However, there is a rule that the amount of child care allowance paid to such a person cannot exceed 115.08 euros per month in total.
Example . The family has three children: aged 2 years, 3 years and 6 years. For a 2-year-old child, a child care allowance is paid in the amount of 38.36 euros per month. For a 3- and 6-year-old child, child care allowance is paid under the condition that in a family with three or more children, all children under the age of 8 will receive child care allowance. The amount of the child care allowance paid for both a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old child is 19,18 euros per child.
In total, the child care allowance is paid to the family in the amount of 38.36 + 19.18 + 19.18 = 76.72 euros per month.
In addition, such a family is paid a child allowance for each child, which is 60 euros for the first and second child, and 100 euros for the third child, for a total of 220 euros per month. Thus, the family receives child allowance and child care allowance totaling 296.72 euros per month .
The right to receive child care allowance arises after the end of receipt of parental benefit . However, we still recommend that you apply for child care allowance or agree to receive it as soon as you submit your initial application for family benefits. In this way, after the end of the payment of the parental benefit, we will be able to immediately begin the payment of the child care allowance.
However, please note that if one of the parents leaves their job for parental leave, they are also entitled to childcare benefits. Parental leave can be obtained from the employer.
The state pays social tax for the recipient of the child care allowance, and thus health insurance is provided by the state to the parent to whom we pay the child care allowance! You can read more about health insurance HERE.
Parental benefit and child care allowance are not paid simultaneously to the same family. This means that if we pay parental benefit for one child, during this period we suspend the payment of childcare allowance for all children growing up in the family.
Even if you are already receiving maternity benefit or adoption allowance, we will not pay child care allowance for that child. Child care benefits received for other children are not affected by these benefits.

CARE OF BABIES WITH OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECT
If your child has been diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, it is very important for you to understand that even with the best care in the world, your child will still develop fractures. Plan ahead your actions; try not to frighten the child, as fright can lead to an unexpected movement that will provoke a fracture.
How to hold a baby?
Always check that the child’s arms and legs are not entangled in the blanket before picking up the child. To avoid breaking the ribs, hold the child with both hands, place one hand under the child’s buttocks and lower back, and with the other hold the head, neck and upper back. If a child has a broken arm or leg, then he will be more comfortable if they are raised on a pillow or foam mattress.
How to change a diaper?
When you are changing your baby’s diaper, put your hand under the buttocks to lift the baby and remove the diaper. To simplify the procedure, you can put a clean diaper under the baby before you remove the dirty one, which will allow you to lift the baby only once.
Bathing
Prepare well and have everything you need for the bath. When bathing, use a special support device that will hold the body and limbs of the baby.
Baby’s body position
Baby’s head shape changes easily and is even more common in children with fragile bones. In order to maintain a good shape of the head, it is necessary to alternately change the position of the head so that the pressure is not always on the parietal part of the head. Positioning the head on the side will also improve the shape of the head, but should be performed with the help of a pediatrician.
Feeding
When breastfeeding, do not put your baby’s hand behind your back, make sure that the baby’s legs do not lie along the body at an angle. When bottle feeding, make sure you change the side on which the baby is lying on each time in order to avoid turning the head to one side, as well as a change in the shape of the head. If necessary, feed your baby while lying on an incline pillow. Babies can get tired easily while feeding, so you can feed little and often.
How to dress a child?
Choose lightweight, cotton clothing that is easy to put on so that your child’s limbs will bend as little as possible. Use one or two sizes up, or find clothes that open wide, this will allow you to put your baby on top of the clothes and then zip them up. Avoid frills, ribbons, or knitted fabrics with holes that your baby’s fingers can get caught in. When dressing your baby, always reach your hand along the sleeve and gently lower the baby’s arm down. A child’s clothes can be transformed by cutting and sewing fasteners to them, then there is no need to thread the head and limbs into clothes.
How to deal with fractures?
Finding a fracture can be very difficult. The first sign may be that the child stops moving the limb. Not always the child will cry with a fracture. Sometimes x-rays at the initial stage of a fracture do not reveal it, so if in doubt, care for the limb as if it were broken. Try to move the child as little as possible and give pain medication recommended by a specialist. A fracture rarely appears due to someone else’s fault, even with the best care for a baby, a fracture can happen.
HOW TO MAKE THE LIFE OF A PRESCHOOL CHILD MORE COMFORTABLE
The lack of collagen in the bones of children with osteogenesis imperfecta can lead to a large number of fractures for no apparent reason, the back can be twisted, and the joints can be hyperactive. The child’s teeth may be translucent or gray in color (Dentinogenesis Imperfecta), and the skin may bruise easily. Growth is usually lower than that of peers. In this regard, a preschool child needs additional attention and adaptations for a comfortable life.
Supervision and attention
If the child goes to kindergarten, he will need extra attention, and this may prevent him from attending preschool. In most cases, one of the parents becomes a home caregiver. However, this is not the best solution, especially when long-term care is required. It is important that both the child and his family get used to the fact that another person can also care for the child.
In some cases where children have a milder form of the disease, they may attend preschools without continued support, but staff should still be fully informed of the illness.
It is recommended that the kindergarten have a special list containing the contacts of people who can be called in case of an emergency.
Toilet
A self-propelled child will need special aids in the toilet, such as wall rails. The floor should be checked before entering the toilet to make sure it is dry. The child may not reach the taps; it is recommended to have one sink with faucet levers and a wide, firmly standing step.
Corridor/cloakroom
Clothes hangers should be located at a height accessible to the child and preferably at the end of the row so that the child does not get into the crowd of pushing peers/adults in the kindergarten.
Classroom
– Specialized seating or adapted for children will be required, such as a seat-mounted cushion or cushion – Hips and knees should be at a 90 degree angle – Chair should be raised to the table – Table height must be checked beforehand to ensure a level seating position. Feet should be on the floor to help the child maintain a balanced posture
Drawing/writing skills
– Due to the fact that the child is smaller than his peers, a wide, stable ladder can be used to draw on the easel so that he can reach tool – Drawing, coloring and writing can be more difficult for a child – this is due to increased mobility of the finger joints. The child may complain of concomitant pain after a long letter. To reduce fatigue and pain, use short pens and pencils
Fatigue
Due to bone deformities and/or joint hypermobility, the child may become very tired during the day at kindergarten, especially if the day is filled with physical activity. Our experience shows that a child, especially at a younger age, may need extra rest. Discuss this possibility with your teacher.
Pain
Children with more severe osteogenesis imperfecta will need extra time to rest – they need the opportunity to lean back in their chair at the right time or lie down on a flat surface (bed or floor). This will help prevent deterioration of the shape of the bones of the spine and reduce back pain. A child who spends all day in his chair should be able to lie down or move around on the floor for a while. This will prevent hip and knee pain and reduce the risk of muscle shortening. Children with an average degree of osteogenesis imperfecta are often hyperactive, so they need rest from vigorous activity.
Socialization
It is important for a child to communicate with peers and make friends. Despite this, you should supervise the child while playing with others. Other children may not realize the risk to a child with osteogenesis imperfecta during play.
Seat
If your child has a dedicated seat in the classroom, it will be helpful to place them in this seat, as this will help them maintain correct posture and also prevent pain.
Travel
If the child is walking, he may be tired and may need a wheelchair, so it is advisable to take it with you on the road.
Physical activity
Children should be able to participate in sports, but this may require the assistance of a caregiver or other adult. Physical exercise is necessary for everyone in order to maintain the overall tone and strength of the child. Parents and caregivers should discuss what activities and active play are appropriate for the child before the child begins to participate in them.
What should be avoided by
-jumping from any objects, it is better for the child to slowly get down -jumping on a trampoline
Useful classes
-rhythmic dances -games with ball
-classes aimed at deductions balance, especially if the child has joint hypermobility, often games and balance exercises are partly used in physical therapy.
Important!
Movement always and everywhere is the most important thing that parents should provide for their fragile child.

General care for newborn children
Meeting a newborn baby at home
The first month of a child’s life is the most responsible. After birth, his body adapts to the new conditions of existence. At this age, body functions and immunity are still imperfect, which makes the child vulnerable and sensitive to the slightest deviations in the external environment. Therefore, after discharge from the maternity hospital, a newborn child needs to create the most favorable environmental conditions and facilitate the adaptation processes as much as possible.
The body of a newborn is very susceptible to infection. It is especially predisposed to pustular diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. Through small, invisible to the eye, cracks or abrasions, microbes can easily penetrate the child’s body. Maintaining the strictest cleanliness is the most important condition for care. The child must first of all ensure the maximum purity of air, clothing, furniture, care items. Before the return of a woman with a child from the maternity hospital, a thorough cleaning of the apartment should be carried out.
It is necessary to allocate a separate room for the child or, if this is not possible, a corner in the common room. You should remove flowers, vases from the windowsill, wash the glass and floor well, take out unnecessary things and objects that absorb dust.
A child from the first days of life should have a separate bed, preferably metal, easy to clean, but also wooden. The height of the legs of the bed should be approximately 80 cm, and its diameter should be at least 60–65 cm. A baby stroller cannot be used as a bed: dust is brought in from the street with it, its walls do not pass air well. Newborns are placed in bed not on their back, but on their side, as they can choke when spitting up. However, you should not lay them all the time on the same side. The position of the child in bed must be changed frequently.
Children’s mattress must be made of bast, seagrass, hay, wadding or foam rubber. You should not make a mattress from fluff or feathers, as the child on it easily overheats.
To prevent getting wet, the mattress is covered with medical oilcloth or transparent plastic compound, and covered with a sheet, which is folded under the mattress from all sides. A newborn baby does not need a pillow. There should be 3 blankets: light (flannelette), warm (woolen) or for walking in winter – wadded. A duvet cover is put on the blanket, they should be changed as they get dirty.
Bedding must be kept extremely clean. They are supposed to be shaken out daily, aired in the air, and oilcloth washed with soap. The bed is cleaned daily with a damp cloth. A newborn baby in the first 3 months of life needs about 20-30 cotton diapers (100 x 100 cm), 5-6 flannel or baize diapers, 8-12 cotton vests, 4-6 flannel blouses, oilcloth on a mattress (120 x 120 cm ), baby oilcloth (30 x 30 cm), 2-3 bonnets or scarves, 3 blankets (according to the season).
Clothing for newborns should be as light and loose as possible. Its cut and shape should provide freedom of movement, not constrain the organs and tissues of a growing organism, and protect against hypothermia and overheating. The microclimate created by clothing should be even, without sharp temperature fluctuations. It is not recommended to use shirts worn over the head, with buttons, metal fasteners, coarse seams and ties.
All child’s underwear, including new clothes, should be washed, boiled and ironed on both sides with a hot iron. The child’s personal belongings (clean) should be stored in a linen closet or drawer, separate from adults’ underwear. Soiled linen should also be stored and washed separately.
To wash clothes, use Baby, Bath or any other non-alkaline soap, as well as special washing powders. After washing, it is recommended to boil the linen for at least 15 minutes, and then rinse and air dry in a sunny place, and then iron it. Starch and blue linen is not recommended. It is best to iron the linen on a cloth bed specially designed for children’s linen. Do not use soiled and dried diapers, as this leads to rapid irritation of the baby’s skin, the development of diaper rash and infection.
Parents should carefully monitor the cleanliness of the apartment where the newborn lives and create all the necessary conditions for him. The children’s room should be cleaned daily: wipe the dust from all items with a damp cloth and wash the floor. It is not recommended to sweep the floor. Several times a day (after 3–4 hours), the room should be well ventilated by opening a window in winter and windows in summer.
In the summer, when the windows are open, the opening of the frames is covered with gauze or mesh. It is most convenient to ventilate the room (even in cold weather) when the child is sleeping. However, a wide stream of cold air should not fall on it, and care must be taken that it does not open. Do not allow sudden fluctuations in room temperature during the day, as newborns are very sensitive to cooling and overheating. The air temperature in the child’s room in the first weeks should be about 22 ° C, but in no case higher, and later – 18-20 ° C. The room should not have extra furniture and other items. It is forbidden to smoke, dry clothes and cook food. Pets should not be allowed into the room where the newborn child is located, the stay of other family members and relatives in it should be strictly limited from the very first day. Violation of the rules of personal hygiene by persons in contact with the newborn may be the cause of infectious diseases of the child. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of hands. Nails should be kept short as they can easily scratch the baby’s skin and cause infection. Wash your hands with hot water and soap before approaching your child. The mother of the child is advised to change clothes daily, especially the bra.
It is advisable for a child to allocate a separate children’s corner in the brightest, sunniest part of the room in an apartment or in a room. It is necessary to prepare a bed, linen, clothes, a locker for storing linen, a changing table, as well as other care items in advance.
All baby care items must be kept clean. Clean things should be stored in a special locker or on a separate table, shelf. It is also advisable to have a first aid kit at home.
Bathing a newborn
Particular attention should be paid to the child’s personal hygiene, skin care, which performs very important functions in the body. The skin of a newborn is more sensitive to pollution than the skin of an adult. Bathing helps to cleanse the skin and has a refreshing effect on the entire body. For the first time, young parents should bathe a newborn in the presence of experienced persons with children, and in some cases in the presence of district nurses.
The baby starts bathing from the first day after discharge from the maternity hospital, and from that day until 6 months he should take a bath every day. During the first month of life, he is bathed in boiled water. In the future, water is boiled only in cases where it is taken from wells. The temperature of the water in the bath should approximately correspond to body temperature: in the first months of life – 36.5-37.5 ° C, in the second half of the year and for older children – 36 ° C. The air temperature in the bathing room must be at least 22 °C. The duration of the bath for a newborn is no more than 5-6 minutes. Bathing a child is best in the evening. Having dressed and swaddled the child, he is fed, and then put to bed. For bathing, they use a baby bath – galvanized, faience, enameled or plastic. A bath, trough or basin in which a child is bathed cannot be used for other purposes: for washing clothes, washing adults, etc. The bath must be kept clean, and before bathing, wash with warm water and soap and treat with a disinfectant solution or pour over boiling water .
During and after bathing, care should be taken not to cool the child: drafts must not be allowed in the room; so that no one enters the room, it is better to close the door with a lock. If bathing takes place in winter, then the child’s underwear is warmed by putting a hot heating pad on it. Linen can also be warmed on a central heating radiator, if you first spread a clean diaper on it, as well as on a heater. In the first days after discharge from the hospital, bathing a newborn presents certain difficulties for the mother. Therefore, the husband should help his wife in preparing for the bathing of the child (for example, wash the bath, prepare water, bring the things necessary for the baby, etc.).
Before pouring water into the bath, you need to prepare all the items necessary for bathing: a jug for pouring, cups of boiled water for washing and pouring over the face, soap, cotton wool, a soft mitten from a washcloth for soaping, baby cream or sterile vegetable oil for treatment skin folds, thermometer to measure water temperature. Clean linen laid out on the table should also be prepared in advance. Hands should be thoroughly washed with soap and nails trimmed short. It is necessary to remove all objects that can damage the child’s skin: watches, rings, pins, etc.
Boiled bathing water is best prepared in advance and cooled, covered with a clean diaper. A bath for bathing is placed on a table, bench or stools so that it stands firmly and can be approached from all sides. The newborn is lowered into the water in a clean, soft diaper, or a clean sheet or diaper folded 2 times is placed on the bottom of the bath, then hot boiled water is poured, which is diluted to 37–38 ° C. The water level in the bath should be no more than 10–15 cm, so that after the child is immersed in it, the upper chest and head are above the surface of the water. In a separate jug, water of the same temperature is prepared for dousing in such a way that during the bathing of the child it cools down by 1-2 ° C compared to the temperature of the water in the bath.
Having unwrapped the child, slowly lower him into the water, supporting the back of the head and back with the left hand, and the buttocks and hips with the right hand. In this case, the back of the child’s head should be on the forearm, and the back – on the palm of the left hand. When immersed in water, the child’s legs are first lowered, then the torso. The head remains above the water, it is necessary to ensure that the child does not choke. Continuing to hold it with the left hand, the freed right hand lightly lathers the scalp, neck, then the torso and limbs. Soap foam should be washed off from the forehead to the back of the head so that it does not get into the eyes. Wash your child with soap 2 times a week, not daily, as it dries the skin.
Carefully wash the natural folds of the skin: first behind the ears and on the neck, then in the area of the armpits, inguinal, elbows and popliteal cavities. A newborn should not be rubbed hard, as this can damage his delicate skin. After washing off the soap from the child, they take him out of the bath and, turning his back up, pour clean, warm boiled water (temperature 36 ° C) from the jug and wrap him in a pre-prepared warm sheet or towel. Dry the child by carefully applying a soft towel to the body, and not by rubbing. After that, the skin folds are smeared with baby cream or boiled oil, the baby is dressed in clean undershirts and laid in a crib.
Skin and mucous membrane care
Proper care of the skin and mucous membranes is of great importance for the health of the newborn. The protective function of the skin of a child in the neonatal period due to its anatomical and physiological features (thin epidermis and rich blood supply) is insufficient. The influence of mechanical, chemical and infectious factors makes the skin of children easily vulnerable and prone to inflammation.
The main goals of skin care for young children: prevention of skin damage, maintenance of the necessary microflora on the surface of the skin, creation of optimal conditions for the normal course of metabolic processes, the formation of sensory and psycho-emotional reactions. This is achieved by gentle, but regular and thorough cleansing, especially in the anus and external genitalia. Cleansers should not be used excessively, as soaps can irritate the skin due to alkaline components, and synthetic detergents due to their degreasing effect. Therefore, it is better to use special foams for bathing a child.
Skin irritation can be caused not only by the composition of the detergent and its high concentration, but also by the duration and frequency of bathing, as well as the temperature of the water, the type of towels and sponges used.
The relatively high content of water in the skin of the newborn and the child of the first months of life must be maintained, preventing the evaporation of moisture and subsequent dehydration. To do this, it is useful to use special moisturizers, such as moisturizing soaps, moisturizing lotions that prevent chapping and drying of the skin in hot weather; moisturizers. However, excessive moisture leads to the formation of scuff marks. Powders absorb excess moisture and reduce friction between the skin and surrounding tissue and within skin folds.
It is necessary to wash the child regularly, after defecation – it is necessary. Removal of waste products helps to avoid diaper dermatitis, which is caused by exposure of the baby’s skin to feces and urine and occurs mainly in the anus and genitals. In order to keep the baby’s skin clean, dry and healthy, it is recommended to use special wipes.
Wash your child with a soapy hand. The girl is washed from front to back to avoid infection in the external genitalia. If any discharge is noted from the girl’s genital slit, she is toileted with a slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate. After washing, the child is carefully and thoroughly dried by applying a warm and soft diaper, and then the skin folds are smeared with sterilized (boiled) vegetable oil or baby cream.
Some children with delicate skin may develop diaper rash, inflammation and other skin lesions even with the most careful care. Such children need increased attention to themselves and, above all, careful care of their skin and mucous membranes. Proper organization of the diet and environmental hygiene are also of great importance. It is necessary to strictly monitor the cleanliness and frequent change of linen and bedding.
With care defects, as well as with overheating, diaper rash most often occurs in the folds of the skin (inguinal, axillary, behind the ear, neck), on the buttocks and inner thighs. In infants, especially full ones, diaper rash most often appears in the elbows, under the knees and in the folds of the hands. Therefore, to prevent diaper rash, these places should be washed more often with water, dried and wiped with a piece of cotton wool soaked in sterile vegetable or vaseline oil. But if diaper rash has already appeared, the places of reddening of the skin are not washed with water, but are cleaned with a piece of cotton wool slightly moistened with sterile oil.
If diaper rash occurs, it is recommended to change diapers more often and not to use oilcloth or plastic compound. Instead, they put a diaper folded in several layers, which serves as a kind of blotter. After defecation and urination, the child is thoroughly washed, bathed daily in the bath, the skin is lubricated with boiled vegetable oil. Air baths are very useful in this case. The child should not lie in wet diapers. If he has diaper rash on the buttocks, swaddle him so that the affected part remains open, and the torso and legs are closed.
Another important aspect of skin care for young children: limiting skin exposure to sunlight . Children’s skin is more prone to sunburn because its cells produce less melanin (the body’s natural defense against the sun). Just one sunburn in childhood can double your chance of getting skin cancer later on. Regular use of sunscreen with a high SPF up to 18 years of age can reduce the risk of skin cancer by 80%. Three important rules must be observed: firstly, exposure to sunlight for newborns and children under 8 years of age should be limited. Clothing should cover the child’s body as much as possible, especially the head and shoulders. Secondly, it is contraindicated for children to be in the sun between 10 and 15 hours, when the sun is most active. And thirdly, you need to regularly use children’s sunscreen. The key to a child’s healthy skin, in addition to proper hygiene procedures, is the correct selection of children’s clothing (from natural, hygroscopic, well-washable materials) and regular skin massage.
Massage gives the child pleasure, soothes him, improves sleep, strengthens the immune system, promotes good digestion and removal of toxins through the skin.
To make the touch of an adult more pleasant for a child, it is recommended to use baby oil, which does not oxidize and does not create a breeding ground for bacteria, is well absorbed and moisturizes the skin.
Massage should be done in a warm room, on a soft surface (such as a towel or blanket). A prerequisite for massage is the location of the mother: the child should feel that she is relaxed, calm, so the mother needs to get comfortable, turn on quiet, pleasant music.
Massage is recommended to start from the head, then chest, arms, stomach, legs are massaged; The general massage ends with a back massage. Hand movements should be gentle, stroking. The hands and feet of the child are massaged with circular and “squeezing” movements. Massage of the hands and feet is very important, as reflexogenic zones are located here. If the baby is less than 2 months old, you can do the simplest massage by stroking parts of the body. This massage gives pleasure to the newborn, accustoms and prepares for regular massage. Perhaps such communication between the mother and the baby will be the key to a wonderful mutual understanding in the future.
disposable diapers are modern means of skin care for infants. The use of diapers is an effective way to isolate and contain urine and feces.
There are currently 3 types of diapers: reusable cotton; disposable, having an inner cellulose layer; relatively recently come into use diapers, the cellulose layer of which contains a moisture-absorbing gelling material (VGM).
The use of modern VGM disposable diapers for the care of children in the first year of life helps to maintain moisture, temperature and normal skin acidity. This creates optimal conditions for the formation and stability of local immunity, the normal course of metabolic processes and the prevention of damage to the child’s skin.
The use of diapers with CHM is considered the most effective way to prevent diaper dermatitis.
Diapers should be changed every 3-4 hours. In addition, the child should not be dressed too warmly in tight-fitting clothes. Irritating factors can be partially eliminated by correcting the child’s diet. The acidic reaction of feces and urine is provided by excessive consumption of proteins and acidic juices. It is recommended to treat the affected areas of the skin with zinc paste (Dropalen cream), which has a drying and antimicrobial effect, and also helps to create a protective layer.
Use of disposable diapers and the development of hygiene in the child
In an environment where diapers and nappies were washed by hand, parents tried to toilet train their children as early as possible. From 5-6 months, a kind of training of the child’s reflexes began. However, they quickly faded away due to the morphological and functional immaturity of the children’s nervous system.
In the 1970s after the advent of disposable diapers, toilet skills in children began to form later.
The main factor related to the duration of diaper use is the age at which purposeful potty training begins.
The age of 12-18 months, according to psychiatrists and physiologists, is considered the optimal period for the development of toilet skills in a child.
Before starting training, the child must be able to walk, bend over and pick up small objects. It is good if he himself can not only understand the words, but also explain to his parents what he wants.
A child’s readiness for learning can be determined by the presence of one or more signs : 1) the child remains dry for at least 2 hours or wakes up dry after a nap; 2) adheres to a regular “schedule” of bowel movements; 3) with words, gestures, facial expressions, it makes it clear that the time has come to urinate or defecate; 4) is able to follow simple verbal instructions; 5) is uncomfortable with soiled diapers and wants to change them.
The main role in the formation of hygiene habits is played not by the age of the child, but by the level of his development.
Frequency of changing disposable diapers. Change them when they become wet or contaminated with feces. A newborn needs up to 10 diapers per day. As the baby grows, diaper changes become less frequent. The average frequency to which parents can be oriented is 4-6 times a day. It is recommended to change a disposable diaper before feeding or immediately after feeding, after each bowel movement, before going to bed, immediately after waking up, before going for a walk.
Choosing the right size for a disposable diaper. The following sizes are most common:
1) mini – for children weighing from 3 to 6 kg;
2) midi – for children weighing from 4 to 9 kg;
3) maxi – for children weighing from 9 to 18 kg;
4) junior – for children weighing from 12 to 25 kg.
The body weight indicated on the package should only serve as a guide for parents in choosing the most suitable diaper for their child. The diaper should be selected not only by body weight, as the child can “outgrow” the absorbency of the diaper before it becomes small for him. If parents are concerned that their baby’s skin often becomes wet, they may be advised to try larger diapers. There are the following criteria for determining the size of a disposable diaper:
1) the constitution of the child. Although a not very fat baby can wear a mini size at 2.5 months, he urinates more profusely and needs a midi size diaper;
2) drinking and food regimen. Naturally, a child who drinks a lot needs a diaper that absorbs more. At the same time, you can’t buy diapers “for growth”: if it is large, it will leak, since the rubber bands around the child’s legs will be too loose;
3) the mobility of the child;
4) age. Usually babies start wearing midi size at 2-3 months, maxi at 7-8 months, junior after 12 months.
Influence of the use of disposable diapers on the functional state of the reproductive organs in boys. Recently, there have been reports in the media that the use of disposable diapers adversely affects the infrastructure of the testicles and causes suppression of sperm production due to the formation of a microclimate inside the diaper with increased temperature and humidity. In the future, irreversible changes occur in the testicular tissue, leading to infertility and a decrease in potency.
However, these findings have not been confirmed in clinical trials. It was found that the difference in temperature inside the disposable diaper in the genital area and in the same place of the cloth diaper was 0-0.5 °C.
In addition, the use of disposable diapers provided less skin moisture than cloth diapers.
Therefore, when using disposable diapers, the temperature of the skin under them increases only by 0.5–1 °C, which does not give grounds to speak of a persistent greenhouse effect.
In addition, spermatogenesis (the formation of spermatozoa) in boys begins no earlier than 7-8 years of age and, therefore, in children before this age there can be no question of any process of its suppression.
Thus, modern technologies of skin care for young children can keep it healthy and prevent the development of various diseases.
Complete toilet of the child
Complete toilet of the child is carried out daily – in the morning before feeding and in the evening before going to bed. Eyes, ears, nose and mouth require special care. The toilet is performed as follows: an adult, having washed his hands well, with a sterile cotton swab dipped in warm boiled water or a slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate, wipes the face, neck, ears and hands of the child, after which he dries everything with a towel. During this procedure, make sure that water does not enter the external auditory canal. When carrying out the toilet, it is necessary to follow the sequence: first, the child’s face is washed, then the eyes, nose and ears are processed, and then the skin of the trunk and perineum. Each eye of the child is necessarily washed with a separate moistened cotton ball in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the bridge of the nose. The external auditory canals and nose are carefully cleaned with cotton flagella soaked in vaseline oil and squeezed well.
For nasal cleansing and ear canal cleansing it is very dangerous to use cotton wool wrapped around a match, stick or other hard object, as serious damage to these organs can be caused. If there are crusts in the nose, it is carefully cleaned with a sterile soft and thin cotton swab dipped in boiled vegetable oil. As needed, they clean the auricles with a cotton flagellum, but not the ear canal.
Mucous oral cavity in a healthy child is not recommended for treatment. The toilet of the oral cavity is made only with the defeat of the mucous membrane, and very carefully. If a white coating appears in the mouth on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, tongue, lips, similar to semolina or kefir flakes, this is a sign of thrush.
To treat this disease, carefully moisten the oral mucosa of the child with a 2% solution of baking soda. It is forbidden to remove the elements of thrush, as this can injure the mucous membrane.
To prevent thrush, keep hands, breasts, spoons, bottles, nipples, underwear, toys, etc. in perfect cleanliness.
Some children develop greasy scales on the head around the large fontanelle, on the forehead or superciliary arches, reddening of the skin and small-scale peeling on the skin of the cheeks, which can spread and go to eczema. Due to itching and scratching under the crusts, a secondary infection often occurs with the development of pustular diseases. In this case, the inflammatory areas of the skin should be lubricated with sterile or boiled vegetable oil. Abundant crusts on the head and face are removed after applying repeated oil compresses for several hours, after which they are easily removed. It is not recommended to remove them with a comb, as during bathing they usually go away on their own. With a milk scab, the skin can be lubricated with lanolin ointment, vegetable oil.
In the development of allergization of the child’s body, food allergy plays an important role, and therefore the mother should avoid spicy and salty foods, chocolate, citrus fruits. In children with high sensitivity to certain foods, allergic manifestations often occur from the first weeks of drinking cow’s milk, after taking the yolk, juices and fruits that have a bright orange and red color. Initially, this manifests itself in the form of various forms of skin diathesis, and then vomiting, urticaria, etc. It is necessary to identify the leading factors that contribute to the allergization of the body, and, if possible, eliminate them.
Fingernails and toenails are trimmed regularly (once a week) from the first days of life with small narrow scissors with slightly curved ends. Scissors are pre-wiped with cotton wool soaked in alcohol. You can also use nail clippers instead of scissors. Usually, separate scissors are allocated for this purpose.
Newborns and infants should be surrounded by great attention and care. They must always be approached in clean clothes and with impeccably clean hands. Compliance with all the rules of care guarantees the development of a healthy child.
Newborn swaddling
The main purpose of newborn clothes is to keep warm and not restrict movement. It is important that clothing does not interfere with the preservation of the physiological posture of the child. Diapers should be made of soft, smooth fabric that absorbs and stores moisture, well tolerated by frequent washing, boiling and ironing. The fabric of the clothing should not irritate the baby’s skin. It must provide free evaporation from its surface. For underwear for newborns, the best fabrics are cotton (coarse calico, flannel, madapolam, chintz). Newborn clothes should be washed frequently, and ironed on both sides with a hot iron before swaddling.
Swaddling and dressing a newborn is done in the following sequence. First, two undershirts with long sewn-up sleeves are put on: one is light chintz, the second is flannel, depending on the temperature in the room. The first blouse is wrapped in the back, folded over and straightened on the back so that there are no wrinkles, the second is wrapped in front. Then the child is swaddled to the waist, wrapping him loosely in thin diapers, leaving his head and arms open. Swaddling is done on the changing table or in the crib. The child is wrapped in a warm diaper or blanket, depending on the season.
Before you start swaddling, you need to prepare everything you need. Dressing and swaddling is done before each feeding, and with increased skin sensitivity or diaper rash – more often. The whole process of swaddling is carried out carefully and quickly, you need to swaddle not very tight, so as not to impede the child’s breathing and not constrain his movements.
An envelope can be used instead of a blanket during the first weeks of a baby’s life. The envelope is especially useful in cold and damp weather: it protects the body from hypothermia, and therefore it is indispensable for weakened babies prone to colds.
Baby’s toys
A newborn’s wake time should be used for physical and mental development. Particular attention must be paid to the development of the senses, and especially the development of vision and hearing, as well as the creation of a joyful mood. Visual concentration on bright large objects appears in a child at 3-5 weeks. For the upbringing and development of visual concentration, the first toys of a child after being discharged from the maternity hospital can be colored rings or 2-3 large balls of bright color, suspended above his bed alternately, every 2-3 days. The toy is hung above the baby’s bed at a distance of about 40–50 cm from the face. From time to time, toys need to be shaken so that the child learns to follow a moving object. To develop the ability to listen to sounds, determine their direction, it is necessary to jingle a rattle from different sides of the crib. With age, the child should be provided with a wide variety of toys, but they should all be such that they cannot injure themselves and cannot be swallowed. All toys must be of easily washable material. It is necessary to carefully monitor the cleanliness of toys, as children often take them in their mouths.
For the timely and correct development of the sense organs at a very early age, it is necessary to talk with the baby when he is awake, take him in your arms, draw his attention to one or another toy or object. Such close contact of the child with adults will help him to quickly learn the world around him, in connection with which, from the first weeks of a child’s life, the environment, toys, clothes of adults caring for him should be bright, colorful, and affectionate.
Toys, like games, for young children are a necessary element of cultural education and individual development. Toys are distinguished depending on what kind of activity they develop.
1 Sensory – rattles, colored balls, bells, boards or balls with a surface of varying degrees of roughness, natural materials, (leaves, flowers).
2 Motor – wheelchairs, strollers, jump ropes, carts, various machines.
3 Emotional – a doll with its equipment, a bear, pets, etc.
4 Imitative – household items (bowls, spoons, a basket), figures of a doctor, a cook, etc. , a bird in a cage, flowers, plants), boxes or boxes (sliding and closing), nesting dolls of various sizes, etc.
6. Building materials – large and small building materials, bricks of various shapes, cubes, simple and painted in different colors, a hammer, etc.
Children under the age of one year are given no more than 1-2 toys. First, hanging rattles, then the same rattles lying in the bed, playpen, and only then a box with 1-2 items to put them into it. Children older than a year should not be given more than 4-5 toys at once. It is necessary to give them, if possible, the freedom to choose toys and teach them to play with them.
Young children’s regimen
Starting from the first days of life, along with good hygiene care, a child needs a correct daily routine. The regime is understood as a certain daily routine, in which the basic physiological needs of the child’s body alternate correctly in time: sleep, wakefulness, nutrition, walks, hygienic and hardening measures. Compliance with the correct daily routine contributes to the formation of a certain rhythm of life, which ensures the normal physical and neuropsychic development of the child both at home and in the children’s team.
The daily routine is compiled in accordance with scientifically based standards for the duration of sleep and wakefulness, depending on the age of the child and his individual characteristics. Most children living according to the established regimen do not need additional soothing (rocking, carrying, using a pacifier). If the baby lives according to the appropriate regimen from the first months, then in the future he easily gets used to a certain daily routine. This teaches him to be organized, makes life easier for him and his parents. A sharp change in the daily routine of life can adversely affect the health of the child, primarily on the function of the central nervous system: he becomes capricious, whiny and irritable. Very often, the bad mood of children, their whims are due to lack of sleep and overwork. The following main indicators can serve as a criterion for transferring to a new mode: very slow falling asleep; early awakening after a daytime sleep; maintaining activity until the end of wakefulness.
The above indicators, subject to a good mental and physical development of the child, can serve as a reason for a gradual transfer to the next age regimen. At the same time, the duration of sleep is first reduced and the time of wakefulness increases without changing the regimen itself. When switching to a new mode, the number of periods of daytime sleep is reduced, but their duration increases. The good behavior and mood of children testifies to the correctness of the compiled regimen.
The dream of a child. One of the important physiological needs of the body is sleep. The younger the children, the more they should sleep. In the future, their need for sleep duration decreases. The correct alternation of sleep and wakefulness must be organized from the first month of life. Properly organized daytime sleep in the open air is also a hardening agent for the baby’s body. If the child regularly sleeps in the fresh air, he quickly comes to a sound, healthy sleep. At the same time, he receives a certain dose of ultraviolet rays that protect him from rickets. Sleeping in the fresh air also increases the body’s resistance to colds.
The most appropriate regimen for children under one year old is wakefulness immediately after feeding and sleep before the next feeding. As a rule, after waking up, the child eats well, after which he is awake, then quickly falls asleep and sleeps soundly until the next feeding. With such a rhythm of the day, the baby’s body gradually adapts to a certain daily routine, he develops a conditioned reflex for a certain time. This mode gradually becomes a habit of the child, and already from the first months during the period of wakefulness, he joyfully moves and plays, and during the hours allotted for sleep, he quickly falls asleep and sleeps soundly. So, for example, a child aged 1 to 2.5 months after each feeding is allowed to stay awake for 1–1.5 hours, during the day he sleeps 4 times for 2 hours, and at night 10–12 hours. The total duration of sleep is 18–1.5 hours. 20 hours a day, the rest of the time the baby is awake. With age, the child experiences an increase in the duration of periods of wakefulness, indicating a gradual increase in the efficiency of the cerebral cortex.
However, excessive lengthening of the period of wakefulness, exceeding the limit of brain capacity, can lead to depletion of nerve cells and disruption of the functions of higher nervous activity.
How long a child sleeps depends on their age (see Appendix 3).
Babies usually sleep soundly at night. If they are restless, you need to find out the reason. You should not rush to feed the baby. Perhaps a change of diapers or a change of position is required, perhaps mosquitoes or other insects are disturbing, the child is hot or, conversely, cold. In each case, you need to eliminate the cause of anxiety and crying.
Infant naps should, if possible, take place outdoors in all seasons and regardless of the weather. Sleeping outdoors is very beneficial. In winter, children can sleep in the yard, on the balcony or open veranda, if the frost does not exceed 10 ° C, in calm weather. At this time of the year, they begin to take them out to sleep in the fresh air from 2-3 weeks of age, first 2, then 3 times a day. In order for the child to get used to the cold, at first he is left in the open air not for the entire period of sleep, but only for 20–30 minutes. In the future, the time spent by the child in the open air gradually increases to 1-1.5 hours 3 times a day. The total duration of exposure to air in the cold season should be about 4 hours per day. At this time of the year, the child’s face during sleep should be open, but covered from wind, rain, snow. In cold weather, the skin of the face and lips are smeared with a thin layer of oily cream.
Some parents put curtains on the stroller or cover the child’s face. This makes it difficult to get fresh air. For kids to stay outdoors in winter, the right choice of clothing is of particular importance. Children’s clothes for sleeping outdoors are selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the child and in accordance with the weather so that his body does not overheat and does not cool. The face is left open. The child is especially tired of heavy, excessively warm clothes, as well as inappropriate sizes and improperly worn shoes. So that children do not cool down while sleeping outdoors in the cold season, mattresses should be taken out of a warm room immediately before laying down.
Babies usually fall asleep quickly if their parents rock them in their arms, in a stroller or cot. But sleep during motion sickness is shallow, and the child can quickly wake up. In addition, the child gets used to motion sickness. It is also undesirable to use a pacifier, as it interferes with the onset of deep sleep and contributes to the development of malocclusion.
Some older children sometimes refuse to go to bed. Parents, laying down the child, must be persistent. The laying procedure should be interesting and enjoyable for the child. He must be treated kindly. Do not forbid the child to take his favorite toy to bed. This habit will pass with age.
Before putting the child to bed, it is necessary to create a calm environment for him. Before going to bed, the child should not be overly excited or overtired, as falling asleep can turn into a long and painful process.
Organization of the child’s wakefulness. The development of young children, their emotional state and activity to a large extent depend on how well their wakefulness will be organized. For this, first of all, the development of motor skills of the child is taken into account. Depending on age and individual characteristics, children are provided with activity during wakefulness in the form of independent freedom of movement, as well as with the help of specially selected sets of physical exercises.
Positive emotions in young children, as a rule, are combined with physical activity. Movement for them is the main source of joyful mood. In this regard, when organizing wakefulness, the child is given room for movement, creates and maintains a joyful state by organizing games, stimulating motor activity. With such active wakefulness, already in infancy, the child learns to observe, to cognize the environment. This contributes to his independence, as well as the development of motor skills and the psyche. However, it should be borne in mind that when overexcited as a result of excessive activity and prolonged wakefulness, the child quickly gets tired, loses his appetite, and his sleep is disturbed. Therefore, outdoor games should be replaced by calm ones.
In the first months of life, a child’s emotional state largely depends on how well his sleep and nutritional needs are met. Therefore, the regime of children under the age of one is built so that they are awake immediately after feeding and sleep after they play well. During waking hours, time is allocated for gymnastics, walks in the fresh air, and tempering procedures.
In order to develop the correct regimen for the baby during the wakefulness period, the most favorable conditions are created for him to maintain the active state of the cerebral cortex. To do this, from the first months of a child’s life, it is necessary to gently talk to him, give him the opportunity to move, play. For the same purpose, in the first weeks, attractive colorful toys should be hung over the crib for viewing, and after 2 months – for grasping. Toys should be bright, sounded and easy to grip, encourage the child to physical activity, promote the development of visual and auditory concentration. The sight of a bright toy already in the 2nd month of life causes a joyful state in the child, expressed by a smile, guttural sounds and animated movements of the arms and legs (revitalization complex). Already from the first months of life, when the child is awake, during swaddling, one should strive to evoke a reaction of revival in him. To do this, he is allowed to lie down deployed, giving him the opportunity to freely move his arms and legs; while swaddling hands are left free.
The organization of wakefulness depends on the age of the child, his individual characteristics and motor skills. At different age periods, in order to maintain positive emotions during wakefulness, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions for a joyful and cheerful mood, active behavior, which will contribute to the correct physical and mental development of the child.
Walks . The child must be accustomed to fresh air from the first days of life. Thus, his body will quickly adapt to cold and heat. Insufficient exposure to fresh air and sunlight can cause a number of diseases. Fresh air increases appetite, improves metabolism, respiratory function, blood circulation. Children born in the summer should be taken out for a walk already on the 6-7th day of life or left to sleep in a room with an open window. If the child was born in the cold season (autumn, winter), then you need to walk with him from 2-3 weeks of age, depending on the weather.
When the air temperature is not lower than -5 ° C, children are taken out first for 10-15 minutes, and then for a longer time (up to 30-60 minutes). On the coldest days, it is advisable to take walks 2-3 times a day, but their duration should be reduced to 20-30 minutes. In case of strong winds or severe frost, walks can be replaced by staying on a closed veranda or in a well-ventilated room. To do this, you should dress the child well and ventilate the room as long as possible in his presence.
Children should be taught to walk at any time of the year and in any weather. In the summer, children who cannot walk are placed in an arena or a hard-bottomed stroller, or on a carpet under the trees in the garden. For outdoor walks, you need to choose a place protected from the wind. His face must remain open. It is best to walk with the baby in the park or square. In summer, it is especially useful to walk near a lake or river, where the air is cleaner. It is desirable that in the warm season the child spends the whole day outdoors: in the garden, park, in the shade of trees or under a canopy. It is better to choose green areas for walking. For an infant, a walk should become a daily routine moment. Daily walks in the air are the best way to harden children and prevent colds.

2022 Elementary School Classes
Elementary Language Arts: Summer Focus on Reading
Elementary Mathematics
Summer Focus on Reading is an elementary language arts class that builds upon and encourages students’ love for reading and storytelling at each grade level. Students will seek to address “summer reading loss” through daily reading and written response, which helps significantly with reading comprehension and vocabulary growth. Students read books from Shady Side Academy’s summer reading lists and other age-appropriate library selections. The selected books provide opportunities to discuss the literary elements of setting, characters and plot. Students learn to discern a story’s main ideas and to discover literary signposts that point to significant moments within the narrative. Since the focus of each six-week session is on a specific book or readings; writing will be focused on identification of literary elements, signposts, and summaries. These are hands-on courses that meet students at their current level and help prepare them for the challenges of the school year ahead.
Elementary math classes are hands-on, skills-based, engaging courses that meet students at their current level and help prepare them for the challenges of the next school year. Through projects, play and problem-solving activities, students bolster their math skills and passion for the subject.
We recommend enrolling your child in the course most closely aligned with the math course he or she will be taking in the 2022-2023 school year. For most students this is their grade level for the 2022-2023 year.

The majority of urban schoolchildren are abstracted from nature, many of them are dominated by a contemplative-anxious attitude towards it. The project is especially important for urban children who have limited mobility, physical work, forced to live far from nature and are prone to passive recreation: cinema, television, computer games. It is this summer family camp that will help children to perceive nature with their hearts, to realize their responsibility to it.

As options – Leader’s camp, Kommunarsky, etc. is often implemented on the basis of a country camp, it can be carried out, as an option, as a full-fledged camp or as just a separate camp shift “- this definition is most traditional on the Internet. The camp must be innovative. Innovative is possible only if the staff in the camp is permanent, which is not interested in working according to the old programs. The main rule of such programs is “Do not repeat yourself!”. From shift to shift, inquisitive minds compose new legends, new games, new entertainments. Main camp destinations:
Interest club system, circles.
Creative workshops.
Sports activities. Students during the camp:
· will acquire the skills of planning, and control their own activities and teams

Our program is designed for a wide audience, starting from elementary school. Childhood is the time of formation of the method of life. It is very important to find a worthy prototype for your life. The right model is useful in that it removes the secondary from life, and life according to a similar scenario allows you not to waste your time on trifles, and to prove yourself in life more effectively and fully.
Analytical part.
High words: traditions of Russia, Russian national character, we are Russians… The definition of “Russian” includes various parameters, but all of them are somehow connected with citizenship. What kind of person does the State need? What state does Man need? Everyone asks these questions sooner or later. We live in Russia. We will enter adulthood with the experience that is laid down in the family, in institutions of additional education, in society, and at school.
Citizenship is taken by students as a given: it does not have to be acquired. A child born in Russia is already a citizen of Russia, who enjoys all the rights enshrined in the Constitution of the country. The state is interested in its citizens fulfilling the main law – the Constitution of Russia. Studies have shown that the child clearly understands what qualities a person should have, but does not indicate what a civic position is formed from. Such a concept as political literacy and its constituents: rights, freedoms, duties of a citizen, participation in the political life of the country were not named by students at all. The question arises: can a school graduate be a worthy citizen of Russia?
An educational institution is called upon to form the citizenship of each student. The state is interested in school graduates to have a clear civic position, to be patriots of Russia.
The study of the level of citizenship (Shilova’s method) showed that the majority of primary school students have a low and medium level, i.e. insufficiently formed civic position.
Among primary school students, a survey was conducted to determine the level of civic position of students, behavior in society:
1. Can you defend your position during discussions, presentations, project activities?
2. Do you need to develop further in various areas of knowledge and skills, or have you already chosen a priority activity for yourself?
3. Can you evaluate your work and the work of your comrades correctly?
4. What else do you need to know in order to grow in “your own eyes”?
The survey identified key issues requiring further consideration:
1. ability to protect one’s public interests – 53%
2. need for self-improvement – 87%
3. conscious attitude to work and its results – 65%
4. need for activities that help develop creativity, leadership qualities personalities – 93%
At the council of student self-government, it was decided that it was necessary to create a creative leadership camp that would model “the structure of Russian society.” Moreover, it was noted that the form of familiarization with the features of the “structure” of the state should be accessible and interesting for all schoolchildren. This form is the game.
Purpose:
In the process of organizing recreation and rehabilitation, to promote the formation of leadership qualities in students, the desire to fulfill themselves through involvement in active creative activity.
Objectives:
promote the formation of a self-developing personality, educate each member of the student team in a democratic culture, citizenship, stimulate social creativity.
· To promote the acquisition of new socio-economic knowledge, skills and abilities.
Create conditions for the organization and realization of the creative potential of students.
· To develop and promote various forms of leisure activities and a healthy lifestyle.
Expected results:
Creation of conditions for self-realization, self-knowledge, self-determination, self-affirmation of personality.
Formation of an active creative personality with a clear civic position.
Successful socialization of children.
Formation of leadership qualities in students. Promotion of healthy lifestyles.
Activity content.
The main thing is that in OUR camp each “I” can find a place for himself, choose a business to his liking, be a respected member of our society, because respect is, in our opinion, the main criterion for a real citizen. The principle of respect for the individual is a truth lost in the world. Great leaders know the value of people. They listen to the opinions of others and make sure that each team member has the opportunity to make a meaningful and sustainable contribution to the common cause. The most important task of a leader is to contribute to the development of people, giving them opportunities for growth and inspiring them to realize and reach their potential. Possession of certain qualities of character and effective skills are as important as professional knowledge. We are endowed with wonderful talents that may remain untapped if we do not make the necessary efforts. The more often we use and develop our abilities, the more talents are given to us and the wider our possibilities.
The life of “Orange” is built on the basis of the Laws worked out by its citizens. And the citizens of the school state are schoolchildren, teachers, and parents, since we are all closely connected and dependent on each other. Together we learn to comprehend not only academic subjects, but the laws of life. On our experience, through our trial and error, we form a whole system of worldview. And on what it will be, what priorities we choose for the future adult life, not only our future, but also the fate of the state depends. Children create rules that they learn to follow. Together we define the values of each child and the values by which they will live first in the detachment, then in the class, the priorities of the children, the mission of the detachment (class) – the ultimate goal that they want to achieve by a certain date. Children learn to distinguish the important from the unimportant, to say “no” to the unimportant and leave only the important – to live purposefully. Children learn to make commitments and fulfill them – to form a whole character. They learn to interact with each other, act in concert, see that everything in the world is interconnected and see a holistic picture, be leaders in some issues and support the leader in others, plan their activities in accordance with the goal, be disciplined, i.e. to support themselves in achieving the goal, they are accustomed to order and organization. Children learn to communicate with each other, establish contact, maintain communication, express their feelings, give feedback, support each other, negotiate and influence.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay’s kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay’s grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone’s love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound’s 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride – she’ll take you on a great one. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— You can find Soap & Clay on all social media platforms: https://www.facebook.com/idontevenusesoap/ https://www.instagram.com/soapandclay/ https://www.twitter.com/soapandclay/

When my twin girls came home from the NICU we went straight to Peacock Prints and Clay and did multiple pieces of footprint and handprint pottery. Every morning when I drink my coffee out of my handprint mugs I am reminded of how tiny my babies once were. They are truly irreplaceable items to me and are so much more than just pieces of pottery.

Peacock Prints and Clay was such a great way to freeze a moment in time with our new baby. The beautifully crafted, glazed, handprints are a fixture on our mantle, and each time it catches our eye, it reminds us how much he’s grown, and all those baby-feels when he first came into our lives. Can’t wait to order another one for our newest addition on the way.

So in love with all of my pieces! We purchased a couple of ornaments and mugs prior to Christmas and I was so impressed with the quality and detail that I immediately ordered more. The customer service is also amazing! I will treasure these pieces forever and will be back every year as their little hands and feet grow. ❤️

Peacock Prints and Clay has become a favorite small business of ours to support! There’s just something so special about having our baby’s hand- and footprints showcased throughout our home (and our family member’s homes!), whether it be on our mugs as we sip our coffee (or wine!), or as we gaze at our ginger jars, vases and plaques that fill our home. We are so thankful for these memories and this business!

A nice quality bud vase. I like the size, shape and weight of it. I ordered it in the color Black, and it looked like a true black shade in the photo online. But in person, the color is muted/faded. The vase I received looks charcoal gray. It’s cute and well made, but I wish it were a deeper black color.

If your order arrives in a million pieces, don’t worry, we can help! The sad truth is, USPS is hard on packages. No matter how many layers of wrap we pack in, they always manage to break something now and then. If this happens to you, here’s what you do:
1. Immediately photograph the package and the broken piece(s). 2. Contact us ASAP to let us know about the mishap. 3. Keep the packaging AND broken pieces on hand (for insurance purposes). 4. Rest assured that a replacement will be on the way just as soon as possible.
All sales are final, but if you are truly unhappy with your order please contact us within 3 days and we will work something out. We love our customers and want you to be thrilled with your purchase!
***Due to the delicate nature of handmade ceramics, we CANNOT be responsible for broken pieces months down the line. Breakable things unfortunately sometimes break. Our pieces are made to be durable, but please use care. See the listing for care information specific to your piece, and remember that even though our pieces are dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended for the longevity of your piece. When loading into the dishwasher, make sure your pieces are not going to bump into others during the cycle!
If your piece breaks within the first week, like the handle on a mug, it was likely damaged during shipping and we are happy to replace your mug in those instances. Forward along photos and we’ll have a replacement on its way as soon as possible!

Additional policies and FAQs
Q: I don’t see the style/color that I want in the shop. Can I place a custom order?
A: Due to demand we are currently unable to fulfill custom order requests through Etsy.
Q: My ________ arrived in a million pieces! What now?!
A: We ship thousands of ceramic items a year that arrive safe and sound, but the unfortunate reality is that once in a while an item takes an extra rough journey to your home. We try to combat that reality by packing each item very throughly and thoughtfully. If you are one of the unlucky very few that has opened a box with a not-so-intact item in it, here’s what you do:
Contact us within **3 days** if there is a problem with your order.
1. Immediately photograph the package and the broken piece(s). 2. Contact us ASAP to let us know about the mishap. 3. Keep the packaging AND broken pieces on hand (for insurance purposes). 4. Rest assured that a replacement will be on the way just as soon as possible.
Q: Wholesale?
A: We work with a very limited number of lovely retailers. If you are interested in more information about opening a wholesale account, please email us at hello [!at] shoppaperandclay. com
Q: Are your glazes food safe?
A: But of course! All our glazes are crafted in-house and food safe. They’re also all a beautiful soft satin finish, except for the glossy Appaloosa items, which is great if you love to take photos of your food!
Q: Can I put my items in the dishwasher or microwave?
A: Short answer, yes. Longer answer, sort of! As long as you’re delicate in loading the dishwasher and make sure your pieces won’t bump anything during the cycle, your items are totally fine to be cleaned that way. Our regular dinnerware and mugs can definitely go in the microwave, however, any item with GOLD LUSTER detailing cannot go in the microwave and for its longevity should not go in the dishwasher.

This splendid exhibition will offer a rare glimpse of a major art form from the Hispanic World 1500–1800: polychrome sculpture. Building on the legacy which Archer M. Huntington left the museum, the institution has added to its holdings of this material so that today the HSM&L boasts the finest collection of these works outside Spain. Until recently, this vivid sculpture went largely unnoticed, but now it elicits enthusiastic responses. Even so, Gilded Figures is the first event in New York to feature this art form in the last 20 years. The over 20 sculptures exhibited will not only attest to the high level of artistic production, but they will also include major works by women artists and show how the stylistic conventions of Spain were adapted in the New World.
Gilded Figures will begin with late Gothic and early Renaissance works by the finest sculptors from Castile. Among these, a superb monumental relief of the Resurrection attributed to Gil de Siloe reveals the dazzling talent of those artists. How decisively Italian models shaped the work of following generations appears in the sixteenth-century reliquary busts by Juan de Juni. The Baroque period witnessed an impressive flowering in which figures like Pedro de Mena achieved effects of stunning naturalism as seen in his St. Acisclus. The exhibition will also draw attention to another consideration — the role of women artists — in a section of pieces by Luisa Roldán and Andrea de Mena. The first of these achieved spectacular success in her lifetime rising to the position of Royal Sculptor (escultora de cámara).
The last section of Gilded Figures will focus on sculpture from Latin America in this period, in works characterized by an impressive range of scale and emotion. A monumental sixteenth-century relief of Santiago matamoros (St. James the moorslayer) from Mexico reveals how Spanish models were transplanted and adapted to the needs of the Catholic church as it embarked on a campaign to convert the indigenous people. In addition to Mexico, Ecuador witnessed a flourishing of polychromed sculpture in which sculptors in Quito produced masterpieces. Painted with a vivid attention to detail, statues like the Virgin of Quito or St. Michael show the powerful effects these talented artists achieved. The exhibition concludes with perhaps the most dramatic display from this school: Caspicara’s Four Fates of Man. In these figures, the sculptor depicts a range of emotions with consummate skill and a delicate touch as part of a theological lesson to inspire people to persevere in their faith.
Special Programs:
Wednesday, November 17, at 6:00pm
Gilded Figures: 18th-century Sculpture in the Real Audience de Quito
Orland Hernandez-Ying, Curatorial Research Fellow
A presentation on the innovative iconographies of three particular sculptures from Ecuador covering issues such as indigenous predilection, angelic representations in art, santo-making techniques (carving, painting, gilding, encarnados, etc. ) and the ordenanzas. These examples will demonstrate how the extraordinary aesthetic quality of pious sculpture in the Real Audiencia de Quito was renown overseas during the Colonial Period with many works shipped to other American colonies as well as Spain.
Space is limited. Reservations required. To make a reservation, please contact [email protected] (please indicate the number of guests and the name of the event.)
Saturday, November 20 and Saturday, December 4, at 3:00pm
Gilded Figures: Somatic Walk
Join Nicolás Dumit Estévez, Hispanic Society Artist Research Fellow, who will guide visitors through an embodied exploration of emotions geminated from the Renaissance and Baroque sculptures featured in the exhibition, as well as those arising during our current times. We will investigate individually and as a group how the awareness and articulation of emotions can lead to the process of healing and balance.

History of the Moscow Region. Atmosphere
Stories
On spring and autumn thaws or after long rains, we often swear that we have to “knead the clay”. The country roads become limp, pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and even motorists try not to use dirt roads unless absolutely necessary, and even tractors do not feel comfortable everywhere. In fact, what we used to call clay in everyday life is most often loam, and not the heaviest.
print version
all stories
Clay is also found in the Moscow region, but this is a little different. For example, gray Jurassic clays are deposits of the ancient Jurassic sea. You can make utensils out of them, stoves were coated with these clays, bricks were and are made from them. By the way, the famous Gzhel porcelain is made from Jurassic clays, which are mined in the Gzhel region, and paleontology lovers find belemnites, ammonite fragments and other fossils in dumps.
First, let’s try to figure out the difference between clays and various loams, and then we’ll talk more about the latter.
Clay is a sedimentary rock consisting of fine clayey and silty (silty) particles. According to various classifications, the diameter of clay particles is < 0.005 mm, < 0.01 or < 0.001 mm. In any case, these are very small particles. For comparison, the grain size of medium-grained sand is from 0.5 to 0.25 mm. In the dry state, the clay is powdery, but it keeps well in a piece due to the intermolecular cohesive forces between the particles. When wet, clay is very plastic.
If you roll a “cord” in your hands from wet clay and roll it into a ring, then cracks should not appear on the ring. When rubbing in the hands, lumps of clay are difficult to crush, while the particles themselves are practically not felt on the fingers – they are so small.
Map of Quaternary deposits of the Moscow Region
Loams are loose sedimentary rocks, consisting of a mixture of clay (pelitic), silty (silty) and sandy (psammitic) particles in various proportions with a significant proportion of clay particles (10-30%). Even Vladimir Ivanovich Dal defined loam as “soil with a considerable admixture of clay.” In addition, larger clasts, including boulders and blocks, may be present in loams.
There are several classifications of loams, but for utilitarian needs, for example, for characterizing soils, it is convenient to subdivide them into heavy, medium and light.
Heavy loam is a plastic rock with a high content of clay particles (about 30%). The cord, rolled from heavy loam, folds into a ring, but at the same time it cracks. In a dry state, a piece of heavy loam is almost impossible to break in the hand and extremely difficult to dig. There are relatively few heavy loams in the Moscow region and in general this is not the most common breed.
Cord method: 1 – clay, 2 – heavy loam, 3 – medium loam, 4 – light loam
But the average loam is quite widespread. Usually it is his amateur gardeners, and simply the inhabitants of the middle lane, who in everyday life call “clay”. And not smart. This is indeed a rather heavy soil that is not easy to work, especially in very wet or very dry conditions. Medium loam has much less plasticity and greater friability than heavy loam. When wet, a cord can be rolled from medium loam, but if you try to roll it into a ring, it will fall apart into separate pieces.
Light loam contains a relatively small amount of clay particles and quite a lot of sand. It is impossible to roll a cord from moistened light loam without breaking, and even more so, to roll it into a ring. But you can roll a ball out of it.
For the central zone of the European part of Russia, including the Moscow region, loams are very common rocks. Where did they come from?
Basically, the glacier “made us friends” with them, and not just one, although loams can have other origins. In the Moscow region, there are glacial (moraine), water-glacial (fluvioglacial), lacustrine-marsh and mantle loams.
The largest area is occupied by cover loams, which corresponds to their name. The origin of these loams is still debatable, but in general they coincide with the area of distribution of glacial and water-glacial deposits. Covering loams are usually yellow-brown in color, practically do not contain coarse particles (gravel, pebbles, and even more boulders), their thickness in the interfluves is 1.5-3 m, and on slopes can reach 8-10 m. moraines or hydroglacial deposits. But the moraine is the result of the action of glaciers. Moreover, our moraine loams are the result of a specific integumentary glaciation, similar to what is now in Antarctica and Greenland.
Moraine boulders
During the Quaternary period, the territory of the Moscow region was subjected to several glaciations. The oldest one, the Okskoe (470–420 thousand years ago), left practically no traces. It is believed that the Oka deposits were absorbed and reworked by the Dnieper glacier (300-250 thousand years ago) – the most powerful and advanced farthest to the south. It is believed that during its maximum distribution, the thickness of the ice in our latitudes could be a kilometer or even more. Just try to imagine these scales! Moreover, a glacier is not a piece of ice that quietly lies on the ground. He lives his mysterious and rather intense life.
In order to orient oneself in these hundreds of thousands of years, one can recall that the most ancient dating of our distant and secondary ancestors of the Neanderthals (or rather, Proneanderthals) is about 500 thousand years ago.
The next glaciation, which in many respects formed the frame of the modern relief of a significant part of the Moscow region, is called Moscow (170-125 thousand years ago). Various researchers draw its exact boundaries somewhat differently, but in general the glacier stopped in the Moscow region, which divided the Moscow region into two large parts. Almost everything to the north-west of Moscow was formed by glacial deposits of Moscow age, but to the south-east of the city the picture is more variegated – there are outcrops of the more ancient Dnieper moraine (south of the Moscow region), various and uneven-aged water-glacial (fluvioglacial) deposits , sediments of near-glacial lakes, etc.
The time of the Moscow glaciation can be called “the time of the Neanderthals” – 150-130 years ago they already formed as a species and populated Central and Southern Europe. By the way, the Neanderthals never reached our latitudes, apparently it turned out to be a bit cold and far away.
In general, if you look at the geological map of the Moscow region, then heavy loamy soils prevail in the northwest and south, and lighter, sandy loamy soils prevail in the southwest, although there are a number of exceptions.
There was another glaciation – Valdai with two maxima about 70 and about 20 thousand years ago, but it never reached the Moscow region directly, although its fluvioglacial deposits and deposits of glacial lakes largely form the relief of the Volga lowland. It finally ended about 11 thousand years ago.
Moraine loam in a quarry
The last glaciation is not only the time of the Neanderthals, but also the time of people. About 40 thousand years ago, our ancestors settled almost all of Eurasia, and at the same time, about 40 thousand years ago, the Neanderthals disappeared. According to modern data, they not only lived for some time in the same territories, but even sometimes met.
There are few Paleolithic sites in the Moscow region, the most famous of them is Zaraiskaya. Previously, it was believed that the oldest remains date back to 24-17 thousand years ago, but according to modern rechecked data, it turns out to be about 32 thousand years ago.
By the way, the penetration of man into North America about 15 thousand years ago is also associated with glaciation. Due to the fact that the ice sheets connected huge masses of water, the level of the World Ocean was noticeably lower than the modern one, and on the site of the Bering Strait there was land – Beringia.
But back from anthropology to geology.
Unlike cover loams, moraine (glacial deposits) almost always contains coarse clastic material, up to boulders. Typically, a moraine is an inhomogeneous unsorted mixture of clay, pelitic, sandy materials and larger fragments up to blocks.
By the way, most of the famous “stones” like the Blue Stone of Lake Pleshcheyevo were brought by glaciers. Many of them have traveled over 1000 kilometers from Karelia, Finland or the Kola Peninsula.
Moraine relief, Volokolamsk district
As already mentioned, on the territory of the Moscow region there are two moraines: Dnieper and Moscow. The older Dnieper moraine is tobacco-colored, very dense, contains quite a lot of coarse clastic material and often carbonate. That is, if you drop acid on it, it will “hiss”. The Dnieper moraine comes to the surface mainly in the south of the Moscow region, and in the northwest it is blocked by the Moscow moraine.
Moscow moraine consists of reddish-brown loam with boulders. It is ancient glacial deposits that form the hills of the north-west of the Moscow region, including the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge, part of which runs along the north of the Moscow region.
Therefore, the next time you find yourself in a muddy road, don’t be angry with the “clay”. After all, this is either a mysterious cover loam, or traces of ancient glaciers, when huge ice massifs moved across our native expanses, melted and grew again. Turbulent streams arose and disappeared, lakes unprecedented now were overflowing at the edge of glaciers … Just try to imagine all this!

Thermal water and clay | GB Hotels Abano Terme
Thermal water: an elixir of health
Numerous studies have confirmed the rain origin of the mineral water used in the thermal spas of the GB Thermae hotels.
Water begins its journey in the north of Veneto, between the Lessini mountains and the Venetian Alps. The precipitation that falls in this area percolates through the rock; the journey underground, about 80 kilometers long, takes more than 30 years; during this time, the water is enriched with heat, minerals and trace elements before reaching the surface in the area of the Euganean Hills.
Thermal spring
The thermal water of our springs comes to the surface at a temperature of about 86°C. The water is classified as hyperthermal saline iodine-bromine. Its special chemical-physical composition allows it to have a relaxing, draining and analgesic effect on the muscles. This effect is felt after the first dive.
After pre-cooling, water is supplied to the pools of each hotel and used for inhalation treatments. Water is also an important component of thermal mud and the exclusive cosmetic line Borile Experience.
Thermal clay
The solid component that we combine with thermal water to produce thermal mud is clay soil rich in organic humus. We collect clay from the bottom of some small thermal lakes in the Euganean Regional Park.
How thermal mud is born
Clay is placed in special tanks into which a continuous flow of thermal water is supplied.
By following a protocol that regulates measures and timing, ideal conditions are created for the development of a living plant component formed by certain families of thermophilic algae and cyanobacteria. It is they who, after about two months, create a real natural medicine.
Thermal water is first supplied at a natural temperature of 86°C. This high temperature is very helpful in neutralizing the bacteria present in the clay.
It is then cooled down to a constant temperature of 40°C: a culture medium is created in which sunlight and the nitrogen contained in the water create ideal conditions for the growth of algae. In this way, the clay is transformed into a living element, rich in proteins and fats, ready for therapeutic use.
Each GB Hotels Thermal Spa has its own thermal mud maturation facility.
DOC Thermal Mud: natural preparation, no chemical additives
The large amount of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances released by the algae during the maturation phase transforms the thermal mud into a herbal remedy.
In particular, the anti-inflammatory action has been tested and confirmed by the University of Padua and patented at the European level (Patent 05100038). The action of mud is superior to the action of medical preparations of the same direction and has practically no side effects.
Numerous scientific studies have revealed the therapeutic effect of matured DOC thermal mud in slowing down the development of numerous pathologies of the musculoskeletal and musculoskeletal systems.
How to benefit from thermal mud
By nature, our skin is impervious to water. But not for oil.
That’s why cosmetic creams have a fat base – for better penetration into the skin.
We have applied the same concept to our thermal mud, enriching it with oily substances, algae, whose beneficial substances are able to be absorbed through the skin and reach the body.
The fat content of our thermal mud is completely natural, thanks to phytoactive algae that develops during the two-month process of “maturation” of the clay in contact with thermal water.
Thermal mud contains a high percentage of active substances. The body, wrapped in such a mud, absorbs anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances due to the oily texture that the thermal algae imparts to the mud.
Totally natural beneficial effect: 0% chemicals, water and clay 0 km.
Squad Operator: Thermal Mud Master
Thermal mud is a living element that must be constantly kept alive and active.
The task of controlling and caring for the thermal mud is carried out by the operator following the Abano Terme DOP Thermal Mud protocol.
The operator is a true master of thermal mud.
He checks daily:
– thermal mud maturation
– temperature, inflow and recirculation of water
– algae growth process
Thermal mud is mixed by hand to revive the algae, which is its most valuable component. He, like a baker, deals with “sourdough”.
The task of the operator is also to trace the thermal mud all the way from the maturation tanks to the direct delivery to the spa. The operator fills the buckets with mature mud for later use. Each bucket weighs about 25 kg and is delivered directly to the treatment rooms.
On average, two buckets are needed per person for one mud treatment.
The operator checks the temperature of the mixture: before use, it must be cooled so that it can then be applied to the human body at a temperature of about 42-45°C, depending on the doctor’s prescription.
At this point, the thermal mud is ready to release its beneficial properties, thanks to the natural ingredients it contains and the operator’s constant attention to the process, which keeps it valuable and alive.

Course of the lesson
Educator. Guys I know what you can do
good riddles. Try to guess
my riddle.
Now I’m in a cage, then in a line Write them down. (Notebook)
Educator. What is a notebook for? And you
Do you know how and on what primitive people wrote? (Sayings
children.) Today we will go to the past and
let’s talk about how they wrote many, many years ago.
how can we go to the past? I suggest
travel back in time in a time machine. (Children
“pass through” the hoop.)
Presentation.
Teacher’s story. The most ancient
the writings that have come down to us are written in stone. it
cave drawings. Primitive people lived in
stone caves. Slide 1.2. Scientists have found a lot
caves, the walls of which are covered with drawings. There were
drawn mammoths, deer, buffaloes, primitive
hunters with spears, arrows, stone axes.
People did not know how to write then, but they already knew how to draw. Slide 3.4 , 5 People reflected in the drawings
the events of your life. Some drawings were even
painted – paints were obtained from pounded
colored stones, used soot, which they took
in the fire. For thousands of years, rock paintings have replaced
ancient man writing. Scientists have found
stone pillars covered with many dashes. Slide
6. They guessed that there was a letter in front of them, a letter
from past. Scientists have learned to understand languages
long-disappeared peoples. Slide 7.
After reading everything that was carved on stone
pillars, they established that there were once great
states. Cities, palaces were built here,
temples. Then came warriors from another
states and destroyed these cities. On the
new cities were built on the ruins. About all this
told us stone pillars, dotted
written signs. The signs are preserved
pillars because they were carved in stone
chisel. The lines cut into the stone are the most
durable letter.
Educator. Guys, do you think it’s easy
was written on stone? Why?
Educator. Now I offer you
go to our laboratory and examine and
compare stones and clay.
Educator. What do you think is stronger? (Answers
children.) Is it possible to change the form of the proposed
natural materials? (Educator offers
press stone, clay.)
Educator. Where is the finger hole?
What clay? (Soft. ) What stone? (Solid.) Can the stone be scratched? Is it possible
scratch with a fingernail? Let’s try to scratch
coin stone. Is there a trace left? Is it easy
scratch a rock? (The stone is strong, it is not easy to
scratch.) Was it easy for ancient people to write
on the stone?
Then the teacher offers the children
turn to pick up a stone, clay – try
crush, roll in the palms, pull in different
sides.
Educator. Has the stone changed shape? Can
break off a piece of it? What stone? (Solid,
nothing can be molded from it, nothing can be divided

The finest jugs Made from ordinary clay Rasul Gamzatov
Pottery was traditionally done by women. The ban on the participation of men to sit down at the potter’s wheel in order to pull out a bowl or a tall jug from a lump of clay was violated by Abakar Gazimagomedov.
And today he is the head of the ceramic workshop: with his enthusiasm and love for ancient art, together with ten craftswomen, he did not allow during the general crisis 1990s in the country to disappear this unique craft. In the cold room of the old ceramic workshop, they continued to create beauty from 15 types of clay, unique in its quality, which was mined right there hundreds of meters towards the large valley of the village.
Abakar Kadyrovich is grateful to the Republican House of Folk Art for significant help and support in difficult times by publishing booklets, albums, telling about the skill of potters from Balkhar, popularizing their art, organizing master classes, publishing in the media materials about the creative fate of the wonderful wizards of the ancient craft.
In this craft the elements of the Earth have merged, even the irreconcilable ones – water, fire, clay. And they were united by the skill of Balkhar masters, who are constantly looking for new solutions in the production of their products, preserving traditions, enriching this ancient art. The collection of clay gizmos is replenished with sculptures of both large and small forms. Unknown little animals, modern figurines of cartoon characters, whistles and other products for the amusement of children and visiting tourists evoke tenderness, a smile: each of them has humor, the subtle soul of a master who knows how to convey the character of the Balkharians.
“The value of our ceramics is not only in beauty, but also in utility,” explains Abakar Gazimagomedov, laureate of the “Soul of Dagestan” Prize of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan. Water, grain, flour, and other foodstuffs are better stored in Balkhara jugs, because the clay breathes through pores that are not clogged with glaze. “Live” jugs do not allow the contents in them to deteriorate. This is facilitated by clay, unique in its composition, from which ceramics are obtained thin, sonorous, durable. Among potters there is a term “correct clay”. So: Balkhar clay is from the category of good, correct. “This is the power of Balkhar,” the famous potter proudly says.
His large tall jugs, on the surface of which stylized auls with their everyday scenes on mountain streets, weaving up the humpbacked “slope” of an earthen vessel, arouse genuine interest among visitors to exhibitions, competitions, in which Abakar, a hereditary Balkharian member of the Union of Artists of Russia, is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia Kadyrovich Gazimagomedov. Visitors to the large-scale events “Craftsman’s Caucasus”, “Culture of Youth”, “Metochion”, “Springs of Dagestan” marvel at his skill. The work of the potter is also admired by foreign guests of the international festivals “Highlanders”, “Caspian – the coast of friendship”, the exhibition “Ladya”, held under the auspices of the Association “Folk Crafts of Russia” in Moscow.
One of the main objectives of the International Festival Derbent: 2000 Years at the Crossroads of Cultures, supported by the Russkiy Mir Foundation, was to present the world with the multicolored Russian culture. A vivid demonstration of the fulfillment of this task was an international action – a trip of festival participants from other regions of Russia and abroad to the village of Balkhar potters hidden in the mountains of Dagestan. It is not easy to get to it along the road winding between rocks and gorges. But all this was forgotten as soon as the guests entered this amazing corner of the Caucasus, where people live in harmony with nature. The guests had heard a lot about the hospitality of the locals, but what they saw literally touched them. From the first minutes of their stay in the famous center of folk crafts, representatives of Kazakhstan, Estonia, Belarus, Abkhazia, Khakassia, Tatarstan, the Moscow region, Moscow felt like those who had been waiting here for a long time.
Head of pottery production A graduate of the Dagestan Art College named after. M. Dzhemal, State Academy of Life and Services, together with his colleagues, was a participant in the round table “Preservation and development of art crafts: successful practices and problems”, where he talked about how the traditions of making ceramics are preserved. Not limited to detailed information and demonstration of products, he showed the process of their creation worked out over the years – from the preparation of clay from its deposit on the outskirts of Balkhara to the firing of vessels of various sizes and a charming small sculpture.
Today it is obvious that the art of the Gazimagomedovs is taking on a long-term existence. Khadijat Kuramagomedova, the granddaughter of Abakar Kadyrovich, spends all her school holidays in Balkhar at the potter’s wheel, learning the family craft, learning the secrets of her grandfather, the teacher, and wishing to become a craftswoman. She has many like-minded people who strive to comprehend the pottery of the Balkharians so that the circle does not stop, the endless movement of which was launched in ancient times by the highlanders of Dagestan.
Abakar Kadyrovich, seeing the keen interest in this craft of young Balkharians, sincerely believes that clay products will be used not only in rural life, but also as decor items in modern design solutions.

AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Benicia KinderCare Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
I just want to put an honest review out there to let you know these ladies go above and beyond for these babies and toddlers. I had a lot of struggles I personally dealt with when it came to leaving my baby with anyone due to issues with childcare in the past with my older son when he was a toddler. It was VERY hard to go back to work and pick a childcare place that I felt like I could entrust my baby’s safety and care in.
When I say these ladies go the mile for your child I mean in every way they deliver. I can expect my child’s diaper to be changed often, that he is dry, that he is held and snuggled and loved like family, and that if he ever fell and got a boo-boo trying to learn how to walk or climb being a big boy then I know they will scoop him up, kiss his owees, hold him, and call me right away.
They check on him, they keep pictures of him like their own, they come to his birthday parties, ALL OF THEM not just A TEACHER. These ladies are incredible. I am so beyond blessed to have them in his life.
The center lets you view their food items. Menus are printed for the month. There is a LEARNING PLAN that is INDIVIDUALIZED for EACH baby and child based on their individual needs that you can view. It’s on a week by week basis. The kids have great toys and outside playtime. I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare center for my baby. I am so thankful.
Amanda C – KinderCare Parent
My daughter, Kendra, is currently in the Discovery Preschool Program. Ms. Rina is the teacher and she is very kind and loving. Her first day was a couple months ago, but she has learned so much under Ms. Rina’s wing. Every day she tells me about all the wonderful things her class does and how much she loves her teacher. As someone who has worked with children for years, I know how difficult it is to supervise groups of kids, especially toddlers, so it takes a very special person to form a type of bond. Ms. Rina has formed a great bond with all of the toddlers in her classroom. To simply put it, she’s amazing! I know that my daughter will soon be transitioning into the Preschool Program when she turns three. Although it’ll be hard on us both, I know that Ms. Rina’s care and dedication will have made Kendra ready for preschool. Ms. Rina will always hold a special place in my daughter’s heart.
I want to thank everyone at the Benicia KinderCare for their dedication in watching over my daughter, especially Ms. Rina. You all have soothed the fears of two very protective parents and have gone above and beyond every expectation I have had. Thank you!
Marissa – KinderCare Parent
My daughter, Maggie, began KinderCare with Ms. Julie in the infant room. Ms. Julie really does care for the children as if they are her own. We can see at home the positive influence that the KinderCare teachers have had on Maggie. When Maggie sees someone get hurt, she stops what she is doing and gives them a hug and a pat; we know she learned that response at KinderCare from the way Ms. Julie comforts children. KinderCare also helped us transition Maggie into the toddler room. There are so many opportunities to learn and interact, so we feel that KinderCare is more than just daycare, it’s a learning environment!

Benicia Arsenal
The Benicia Arsenal (1851–1964) and Benicia Barracks (1852–66) were part of a large military reserve located next to Suisun Bay in Benicia, California. For over 100 years, the arsenal has been the US Army’s primary facility for the US West Coast.
In 1847, a 252 acre (102 ha) plot of land adjacent to the border of the city of Benicia in the east was purchased as a military reserve. The first appointment took place on 9April 1849, when two companies of the 2nd Infantry Regiment set up camp to establish Benicia Barracks, which also housed the 3rd Artillery Regiment. In 1851, at the urging of General Persifor F. Smith, the first munitions depot in the West was established at Benicia. In 1852 it was designated the Benicia Arsenal. Notable military personnel stationed there during this time included Ulysses Grant, Edward Ord, and Joseph Hooker, among others.
The territory of the Arsenal of Benicia is also famous for the fact that one of the elements of the army’s Camel Corps is located here. The short-lived Camel Corps was disbanded in 1863, but the Camel Barns, built in 1855, remain and are now the Benicia Historical Museum.
The Benicia Arsenal was a staging area during the Civil War for Union troops from the West, and the installation remained a garrison post until 1898, when troops were assigned to serve in the Philippines during the Spanish American War. From 1911 to 1913 the Arsenal was commanded by Colden Ruggles, who later served in the Army as Chief of Ordnance. [4] During the First World War, the Benicia Arsenal provided ammunition to all major army installations in the western states, and also supplied ammunition to the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia. The Italian service units of the 4th, 4th and 50th Italian Quartermaster Service Company worked at the Arsenale during World War II. [5]
Workers load ammo for large weapons at the arsenal
Within 24 hours of the Pearl Harbor explosion, 125 individual truck convoys were loaded and sent from Benicia Arsenal, leaving a supply of ammunition, small hands, and explosives completely depleted . Throughout the war, the arsenal supplied the ports with weapons, artillery, parts, supplies, and tools. In addition, 14,343 pairs of binoculars were overhauled in the arsenal, 180,000 small parts for tanks and weapons were manufactured, and about 70,000 watches were repaired. However, the most famous arsenal of ammunition for the lieutenant colonel. Jimmy Doolittle first bombing on Tokyo 18 April 1942, launched from USS Hornet .
Guardhouse
Until 1940, 85 civil servants worked in the arsenal; by October 1942, the payroll had reached 4,545. Labor shortages in 1944 forced the arsenal commander to employ 250 Italian and 400 German prisoners of war, as well as 150 minors from the California Youth Administration. Almost half of the civil servants were women. During the Korean War, the number of civilians reached a record high of 6,700.
The Benicia Arsenal was deactivated in 1963 and the facility closed in 1964. The arsenal was converted into working and commercial premises for artists and craftsmen.

Benicia Air Quality Index (AQI) and US Air Pollution
*Translated using machine translation
What causes poor air quality in Benicia?
Benicia is a small city of 28,306 located in the North Bay area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Although Benicia is less populated than its bay neighbors such as San Francisco, San Jose, Walnut Creek and Oakland, its air pollution levels were the highest in 2019year.
Mobile sources such as cars and trucks are the largest source of emissions in US cities. While air quality in Benicia is also affected by motor vehicle emissions, this source does not explain the high levels of air pollution in Benicia compared to the Bay Area, as there are fewer cars on the roads than in nearby towns. Rather, elevated levels of air pollution in Benicia are more related to regional oil refineries and winter wood burning.
The Valero refinery in Benicia is one of the largest in the state and has long been responsible for elevated levels of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO) and fine particle pollution (PM2.5) throughout the city 1 .
At the end of March 2019, a malfunction caused huge clouds of toxic smoke to escape from the pipes. Dozens of people called 911 to report difficulty breathing, while the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) received numerous complaints. The incident resulted in Valero shutting down most of its operation, pushing up oil and gas prices across the state. While Valero is committed to introducing new technologies to reduce future emissions and incidents like the March 2019 incidentyear, it remains one of the largest sources of airborne toxins in Benicia.
Even on “normal days” at the refinery, Benicia air monitors detect recurring bursts of particle pollution, often far in excess of what would be considered safe for daily air quality, raising concerns among the most vulnerable in the area: children, the elderly and people with lung disease.
In winter, wood burning accounts for 40 percent of Benicia’s particulate pollution. November and December 2019years, PM2.5 levels were more than double those of the summer months with concentrations of 16.4 µg/m 3 and 13.2 µg/m 3 , respectively. Restrictions on wood burning have been gradually introduced in recent years, gradually improving air quality. In the past decade, wood burning regulations have included requiring wood-burning heater manufacturers to comply with EPA standards requiring buildings to remove incompatible wood-burning appliances and to prevent wood-burning appliances from being installed in new buildings 2 .
Recently, attempts have been made to ban wood burning in the coming years, and this measure will significantly reduce the level of pollution harmful to human health in Benicia in winter. It remains to be seen if such a drastic step is taken by the community and the council.
Benicia is located on the North Bay, close to the ocean, so the local climate is affected by sea inversions. Marine inversions increase measured pollution levels, creating a ‘trapping’ effect. This happens when the air at surface level, cooled by the Pacific Ocean, is covered by warmer, denser air above. Thus, marine inversions cause emissions to accumulate and linger until the weather changes. Surrounding foothills and mountains can exacerbate this effect, further trapping pollution and stale air.
Use the Benicia Air Pollution Map to monitor real-time pollutant concentrations, wind direction and better understand the impact of Benicia’s emission sources.
What is the current air quality in Benicia, California?
In general, the air quality in Benicia is considered normal. In 2019, average annual air quality indicators in Benicia were in line with federal targets, as in all cities in the Bay Area. Short-term spikes in pollution were more likely to cause air quality to be labeled “unhealthy”.
Benicia’s pollutants of greatest concern are PM2.5 and ozone. Every year, Benicia experiences unhealthy levels of each of them. Generally speaking, PM2.5 is of greatest concern during the winter months and ozone during the summer months.
The American Lung Association (ALA) 2019 Annual Air Quality Report rated Solano County, of which Benicia is a part, rated “F” for short-term PM2.5 and “D” for short-term ozone emissions 3 .
PM2.5 is airborne particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or smaller. Its small size allows particles to penetrate deep into the lungs when inhaled, sometimes entering the circulatory system and causing a wide range of short and long term health effects. Exposure to PM2.5 is uniquely associated with health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cancer, and early death.
Benicia’s 24-hour fine particulate pollution, or PM2. 5, rating was obtained for exceeding the federal PM2.5 day health standard of 3.2. According to estimates made during the monitoring period from 2016 to 2018, Benicia has an average of 10 unhealthy PM2.5 days per year.
PM2.5 bursts typically occur in late summer and early autumn from forest fires and during the winter months from domestic wood burning. The most polluted months of Benicia in 2019 were November and December, with an average PM2.5 concentration of 16.4 µg/m 3 and 13.2 µg/m 3 respectively.
While the 2019 ALA report gave Solano County a passing grade for ozone pollution, its average of 2.2 unhealthy ozone days is close to the federal norm of 3.2 unhealthy ozone days. What’s more, ozone pollution has been on the rise since 2015, when Solano County averaged just 1.3 unhealthy ozone days.
Ozone is a very aggressive gas pollutant. Like PM2.5, ozone can cause a wide range of short and long term health effects, including breathing difficulties, respiratory illness, lung cancer and early death.
Is the air quality safe in Benicia?
The air quality in Benicia is generally breathable. In 2019, Benicia’s average AQI was 30, meeting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard of requiring an index of less than 50.
Despite optimistic annual ratings, the Bay Area ranks as one of the most polluted regions in the US, according to the 2020 ALA State of the Air report. In the most recent monitoring period, the San Jose-San Francisco region (of which Solano County is a part) ranked:
8th in the nation for high ozone days out of 228 metropolitan areas
Ranked 3rd in the country for high particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution days out of 217 metropolitan areas
Ranked 5th in the nation for annual particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution out of 203 metropolitan areas.
Follow the real-time air quality index of Benicia to understand the level of health risk associated with citywide pollution measurements. When Benicia’s AQI is below 50, “good” air quality poses little or no risk to human health. When Benicia’s AQI level exceeds 100, which is “harmful to sensitive groups”, steps should be taken to reduce outdoor activity and protect one’s health.
Those who are considered sensitive to air pollution, such as children, the elderly, and people with heart and lung complications, are more likely to experience adverse effects. Solano County has 35,899 residents with asthma, 16,650 with COPD, 24,364 with cardiovascular disease, 98,740 residents under the age of 18, and 70,430 residents over the age of 65, all of whom are more likely to experience adverse effects as a result of unhealthy Benicia. pollution levels.
Are there fires near Benicia, California?
In 2020, California broke records for the most acres burned in a single wildfire season, with 2.2 million acres cleared by early September 4 . The previous record was set in 2018 when 1.96 million acres were burned for the entire year. Long-term evidence shows an alarming trend of increasing frequency and severity of wildfires as a result of anthropogenic (man-made) climate change.
A study published by Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory found that climate change has doubled the risk of extreme wildfires in California 5 . Since 1970, the number of burnt areas per year has increased eightfold and continues to grow.
During California’s wildfire season, which runs from July to November, fluctuations in PM2.5 in the Bay Area are common. Solano County averages 10 unhealthy PM2.5 days each year, many of which are associated with wildfires in the Bay Area.
Use the IQAir air quality map to identify nearby wildfires and associated pollutant emissions.
Was Benicia affected by the fires?
The air quality in Benicia is deteriorating as a result of wildfires in the bay area and further in the state. Smoke can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles due to extremely light PM2.5 particle contamination. Forest fires tend to be short-lived and burn for days to weeks, but can dramatically change Benicia’s 24-hour and annual air pollution levels.
At the end of August 2020, Benicia experienced an average of several days of “unhealthy” air pollution from a siege of forest fires that originated during a dry thunderstorm, namely the “LNU Lightning Complex” and the “SCU Lightning Complex” . 6 Such high pollution levels are generally rare in Benicia.
Use IQAir’s interactive air quality map to locate the location of a fire, see which direction the smoke is coming from, and understand how it affects air quality in the Bay Area in real time. Air quality data is updated hourly and real-time fire data is updated every three hours using observations from NASA’s Fire Information Resource Management System (FIRMS) satellites.

Early years
Ord was the eldest of 15 male children (13 lived past childhood) and was born in Benicia Barracks, California, 9November 1858 His father, Edward Otho Cresap Ord married Mary Mercer Thompson (1831–1894) on October 14, 1854. The senior Ord was a career military officer, a hero of the American Civil War and served as a Major General of Volunteers. After the war he returned to Chief Brigadier in the Regular Army. [1] [2]
General Edward Ord, his wife Mary and one of their daughters.
On August 2, 1870, the family was in San Francisco, California with seven children. Edward, the eldest son, lived with servants and studied with tutors and in public schools. [1] His life in the west was one in which his father was a senior officer, a decorated Civil War hero, and he was “his father’s son.” His life was privileged compared to others. Growing up, he watched the military and soldiers show respect and courtesy to his parents. [2] Young Edward later attended a public school in Omaha, Nebraska. He was assigned to the United States Naval Academy in 1876, but left after his second year. [2]
In 1879 he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 22nd Infantry Regiment, US Army. [2]
By June 1880 Ord’s parents were in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. [1] His father was the commander-in-chief of the Department of Texas. Orda’s father retired from the army on December 6, 1880, having served 41 years. General Ord began his second career building the Mexican Southern Railroad from Texas to Mexico City. His family remained in San Antonio. [2]
In 1880 young Edward was at Fort Maccavett, Menard, Texas. He married Mary Frances Norton (27 May 1857 – 27 June 1947) November 10, 1879 in Bexar County. She was the daughter of Charles Gilman and Frances (Brown) Norton. [2]
They had the following children: [1]
Edward Ord was born in September 1880 in Bexar County, Texas.
Harry Ord was born in October 1881 in Bexar County, Texas.
James Gareshe “Harry” Ord Born October 1886 in Colorado.
Ellen F. “Nellie” Ord was born October 1889 at Benicia Barracks, Solano, California.
Mary N. Ord was born October 1895 in Arkansas.
In July 1883 his father died in Havana, Cuba of yellow fever on his way from Vera Cruz, Mexico to New York. Young Edward was given leave to attend his father’s funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, which was attended by many politicians and military personnel. [2]
His brother, Jules Garesche “Gary” (September 9, 1866 – July 1, 1898) US Army First lieutenant who was killed in action after leading the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry USA up San Juan Hill. History now testifies that “Gary” Ord was responsible for the “spontaneous” attack on the San Juan Heights during the Spanish American War in Cuba on July 1, 1898 [3] [4]
Military career 1
Indian Wars
Coat of arms of the 22nd Infantry Regiment.
Second Lieutenant Order of the 22nd Infantry served in the Indian campaigns in Texas in 1880 and then commanded the Seminole Indian Scouts from 1882 to 1890. Since 1870, the US Army invited Black Seminoles to return from Mexico to serve as army scouts for the US. Seminole Negro Indian Scouts (originally black, despite the name) played a leading role in the Texas Indian Wars of the 1870s. Scouts are famous for their tracking abilities and endurance. Four men were awarded the Medal of Valor. They served as forward scouts for commanding white officers and all-black units known as the Buffalo Soldiers, with whom they were closely associated. After the end of the Texas Indian Wars, the scouts remained at Fort Clark in Brackettville, Texas. [5]
First Lieutenant Ord participated in the formidable insurrection of the Ghost Dancers supposedly led by Sitting Bull in mid-December 1891 and participated in patrols in Montana trying to keep the peace until the end of 1892. It was at the time that Sitting Bull was killed. [6] [7]
Spanish-American War
Lieutenant Ord fought on Santiago in Cuba during the Spanish-American War with the 22nd Infantry Regiment from 3 to 17 July 1898 g. There he received the rank of captain. After the war, Captain Ord remained in Cuba for nine months as an interpreter on the staff of General Henry Lawton. There he suffered a mild case of yellow fever. [2]
Philippine-American War
In late 1900 or early 1901, Captain Ord was sent to the Philippines from Benicia Barracks when the Philippine-American War broke out. He fought in the Battle of San Ysidro and later in other battles during the Moro Rebellion in Mindanao and Jolo. [2]
Ord, like his father, continued to suffer from yellow fever and its second phase. Unlike his father, he will live, but he will need a long sabbatical from the army. He was forced to resign on October 10, 1903 due to physical handicaps caused by yellow fever that had been contracted in Cuba. [2]
Post-Military

Soldiers reported looting after a fire.
On April 18, 1906, immediately after the San Francisco Earthquake, Ord was appointed Special Police Mayor Eugene Schmitz and was in contact with Major General Adolf Greeley for assistance. He wrote a long letter [2] to his mother on the 20th about Schmitz’s “Shoot to Kill” order and some “contemptible” behavior of some soldiers of his former 22nd Regiment from the Presidio who were looting. [8] [9]
In 1908 he was a military instructor at St. Matthew’s School in San Mateo, California and later at the University of Alabama. [2] During this time he continued his correspondence with the Mexican leader Geronimo Trevino (1836–1914), mainly about the health of Trevino’s son Geronimo Trevino y Orda, his nephew, but also discussing aspects of the Mexican Revolution until the death of his friend in 1914 year. [10]
Military career 2
In 1915, Ord was military assistant to the governor of Arizona. He was also a liaison to an army unit that included his former regiment. He saw service on the Mexican border due to rising tensions along the border after the Battle of Agua Prieta. This was where Pancho Villa suffered his greatest defeat, and his units were disorganized and roamed northern Mexico foraging. Desperate for food and fresh horses, Pancho Villa stationed his army of about 500 horsemen outside the city. Columbus, New Mexico on the Mexican side of the border on March 1916 years old. On March 9, 1916, he invaded the United States for supplies and weapons, resulting in the Battle of Columbus. Ord was promoted to major and served Arizona well in organizing and arming militia units. There were no major raids across the border in Arizona. [2]
As a result of his service in Arizona, on June 3, 1916, Ord was promoted to the rank of major on the Army’s retired list. In early 1917 he returned to full action, working in Big Bend, Texas; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. [2]
In December 1918, due to complications from yellow fever in Cuba, he retired from the army for health reasons. [2]
Later life
In 1920 Ord lived in Oakland, Alameda County, California. [1] Ord was listed as an expert linguist and had exceptional artistic ability, devoting much of his leisure time to creating landscapes and seascapes. [11] and write poetry. [2]
Ord was also an inventor who patented a new type of golden pan and various weapon sights. He co-owned several mines in Arizona, California, Mexico and Utah. [10] Articles related to E.O.C. Ord II is located in the special collections section of the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. These include Ord’s patents, original drawings and diagrams, promotional materials, and instructions for using the “Gold-Pan-Batea”, an improved gold ware that uses water recirculation. This led to the formation of the California Gold Pan Company and later the Household Utilities Manufacturing Company. Documents include correspondence and business documents about mines and interests in and around California, Arizona, Utah, and Mexico. There are also three diaries; 1) One William Ord in 1869Year of Exploration and Exploration in California and Nevada. 2) Two from E.O.C. Ord II, from a reconnaissance trip to Inyo County, California in 1908–1909 and in 1910 at the Zero Mine in Arizona. This collection also includes a sketch of Bradshaw’s crack drawn by Ord. [12]
Ord was a Roman Catholic by religion. He died in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California on April 4, 1923. [2]

Cherry: A Play-Based Preschool – Cherry Preschool
Warren W. Cherry Preschool is a partial-day, not-for-profit, non-sectarian early childhood education program that is independent and parent-governed. Established by parents and early childhood educators seeking to create an independent institution that would meet the needs of the community’s young children, Cherry Preschool opened its doors in September of 1992. The school is named after Warren W. Cherry to honor the memory of an outstanding Evanston educator, community leader, and friend of young children. Cherry Preschool is located in a red brick building at 1418 Lake Street in Evanston, one half block east of Penny Park. The school is licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs.
Our Goal And How We Put It Into Practice
The mission of Warren W. Cherry Preschool is to provide a developmental early childhood program which offers a safe, consistent, nurturing environment that encourages the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of children. The unique personality, culture, needs, abilities and learning style of each child are accepted and appreciated as the staff and parents work together in the best interest of the children.
Philosophically, Cherry Preschool strives to:
Develop each child’s positive self image
Respect each child as a unique individual
Promote independent and creative thinking
Teach pro-social behavior
Provide developmentally appropriate, innovative preschool education in a stimulating and enriching play environment
Include children who have special needs
Celebrate diversity
Implement a curriculum through which children learn to value and accept differences
Create a sense of support and community for children and their families
Employ a highly qualified staff of dedicated early childhood educators
Offer parents the opportunity to be involved not only in the education of their children, but also in the operation and direction of the school
Cherry Preschool lives its values as an early childhood education program through our focus on:
We are a Community of Diverse Learners
Cherry Preschool is committed to providing an inclusive preschool environment where children of all abilities can develop the skills needed to succeed in school. Our Inclusion Program is designed to support children with developmental differences and disabilities as they learn and grow alongside their classmates. Learning in an inclusive environment enriches the lives of all children because it models acceptance, respect, and appreciation for individual differences.
Click here to learn more about our Inclusion Program for children with disabilities and developmental differences.
The Cherry Preschool Staff
Teachers are chosen on the basis of academic background and personal commitment to working with young children and their families. The staff is a stable, cohesive, and caring group of educators who are knowledgeable about how children grow, develop and learn and who reflect the values of Cherry Preschool. We consider the experience, quality, and dedication of our staff to be our greatest asset.
Understanding Diversity at Cherry Preschool
“You Can’t Say You Can’t Play” & “Be Fair” We believe that a diverse school community in which children learn to value and respect themselves and others enriches all our lives. Our task as early childhood educators is to encourage young children to embrace differences. Our goal is for children to feel proud of themselves and their heritage, challenge bias or unfairness when they encounter it, and feel at home in our diverse world. At the preschool level, we do this by creating classroom environments that reflect the families in the group as well as in the greater community. In planning the curriculum and creating the classroom environment, teachers select materials to expose children to a variety of races, cultures, abilities, family structures, ages, and beliefs. We invite families to share their customs, holidays, and celebrations with us. Our approach to holidays is to connect them to the children’s daily lives, to learn about one another from one another, and to approach them in a developmentally appropriate way. For all of these reasons, we have adopted two basic all-school rules at Cherry Preschool. “You can’t say you can’t play” (from the book of the same name by Vivian Paley) helps all children to feel included, safe, and protected. “Be fair” helps all children to stand up for themselves and others to challenge bias and unfairness.
Scholarship Program
An important part of Cherry Preschool’s community outreach effort is to make the preschool accessible to all families regardless of their ability to pay. Cherry Preschool does everything in its power to support its families and keep in school all children who are part of the preschool community. Guidelines and applications for financial assistance are available in the preschool office and on our website. Decisions are made by the Director and Financial Manager and all requests for assistance are kept confidential.
Your Child’s Classroom At Cherry
As a developmental preschool, we believe that play-based early childhood education provides children many opportunities to interact with materials and construct knowledge about their world; increases vocabulary and language comprehension; helps children form better problem solving strategies; stimulates curiosity, imagination and greater innovation; helps children take the perspective of others, learn impulse control and empathy, build longer attention spans and have better social emotional skills. Cherry teachers plan open-ended, play-based activities and experiences to stimulate and challenge children to progress developmentally at their own individual rate. The curriculum explores topics of interest to children. One way teachers accomplish this is through the Project Approach, an in-depth study that employs investigation, observation, and hands-on experiences.
A typical day in the classroom involves, but is not limited to, the following activities:
block play • children’s literature • circle time • creative expression • dramatic play • experiential art • fine motor activities • indoor gross motor play in our Cherrytown gym or outdoor play (at Penny Park for older children or our private play lot for younger children) • large group activities • manipulative toys • music & singing • painting and playdough • pre-literacy and pre-math activities • science exploration • socialization skills
Community Outreach
Cherry is committed to making a social impact in our community. We invite our families and outside local organizations to help us by referring families who would enrich our preschool by making our community even more diverse and representative of the greater Evanston area.

Senior: North Shore is by no doubt an amazing school. While it is small and a bit sheltered, the school culture promotes independence and hard work in their students through rigorous courses and workloads. The school also requires its students to participate in the performing arts and athletics, which allows many students to be forced to develop their leadership skills and personality. MANY of the teachers are of high quality, compassionate, and care about developing relationships with their students. The humanities department is significantly more developed and better than that of STEM. STEM classes only prove to be worth it if it is an AP or required course. I wish North Shore would do better at is encouraging their students to take higher-level courses. The administration will usually discourage their students from taking AP classes based on their previous courses, and make it seem like the students aren’t capable of taking all AP classes if they want to, nor do they even allow them to….

Parent: Our family came to Roycemore in 8th grade from another independent school in the Chicagoland area. We chose Roycemore because of the small, individual attention each student receives. When my daughter started Roycemore she was quiet and lacked confidence and it made it difficult for her to connect with both her peers and teachers. Once she started at Roycemore she was making friends and building relationships with teachers. My daughter is now an upper school student at Roycemore. She is involved in the yearbook, student government, plays a sport and is involved in numerous other clubs and activities. She has blossomed into a confident, intelligent young person with a bright future and I credit this confidence and growth to the nurturing environment Roycemore offers. She has found her voice and a love for learning. We are so grateful to be a part of the Roycemore community!… Read 149 reviews

Senior: It’s a small school. Everyone knows each other. It’s very much a community of foreigners in Chicago. However, there are Americans. Students always come out of my school as bilingual in French and English. I myself am and have also learned German. It’s a great opportunity for all children. They have two programs once you reach high school: the IB program and the Bac program. Both are wonderful. My sister has graduated from the IB program and I will graduate from the Bac program later this year. However, this is a very small school. Don’t come here if you’re searching for the stereotypical high school experience with football and homecoming. I, however, have loved my school as I have gone here since I was three years old. The teachers are all very accommodating and will know you by name even years after teaching you. It’s a very nice environment to grow up in. It can feel stifling at times with the small size. I recommend this school for the bilingual experience!… Read 18 reviews

Parent: I cannot say enough great things about Sacred Heart. My oldest son has been at SHS for six years now, and my younger one is just finishing his Kindergarten year. In a year with a great deal of stress and uncertainty, SHS and its staff have been a rock for my kids and our family. From the onset of COVID, teachers and staff quickly pivoted to make sure our kids continued receiving the best possible education while also addressing each child’s emotional needs. The school followed the science and instituted strict protocols that allowed our kids to conduct in-person learning for the entire 2020-21 school year, minus a few weeks of remote learning. We are so grateful. Aside from this crazy year, our experience here has been phenomenal. I have both an anxiety-ridden perfectionist and a reluctant reader. Both “issues” were addressed in a positive, loving and creative manner within six weeks of them entering SHS, instilling a love of learning in my kiddos. I can’t thank the school enough!… Read 26 reviews

Parent: What first attracted us to Queen of Angels was the school’s bridge program. The bridge program is a preschool class for 2 year olds that was difficult to find outside of a daycare center. The bridge program was fantastic. We now have three children in the school ranging from 4th to kindergarten. The education at Queens is outstanding, which clearly table stakes when it comes to picking a school. What is so special about Queens though is the community. I really like my kids’ friends and both other parents and the school have high expectations for the kids. For example, the school mascot is a Knight and my kids are given “Noble Knight” awards when a teacher witnesses them doing something to help another student or otherwise showing kindness to others. Plus I have made some many great friends as well through the school through fun traditions like trivia night, Harvest Jam, and countless other events both school sponsored and otherwise. It is a great place!… Read 12 reviews

We enrolled our daughter in the Academy’s summer program after receiving a referral from another parent in the area and the experience was amazing. Every afternoon upon returning from the Academy, our daughter would describe all of the engaging activities from her classes (e.g. abacus math, pottery, international cooking) with unabated enthusiasm. After the summer program concluded, her interest in these activities persisted and her curiosity to learn more flourished. I’m convinced that her experience at the Academy had a fundamental impact on both her perception of learning and her overall cognitive development. I’m convinced it is part of the reason she has performed so well in her public school (I was amazed that her Math score on the MAP test ranked in the top 2%). Just wish that I could transfer my daughter to this amazing institution full-time!… Read 18 reviews

Parent: When my family first arrived at Baker, we had a very shy 3 year old boy on our hands. He was our first, and both my husband and I were nervous to leave our sweet little guy for a whole day! Today, he is 7, and wow does he love school. He is confident, secure, and can’t wait to see his teachers and classmates every day. When it came time to send his younger brother to PreK, the decision was a no-brainer. The boys reading skills, numeracy, love of learning, have come so easily and naturally. Their kindness and comfort around peers and adults alike demonstrates how the Baker staff and faculty support a community of respect for others. Every person at Baker is encouraged to be themselves, and accept others as they are. The hands on experiential learning shows up every day in our house . Even in the midst of distance learning, the kids stayed totally engaged. With the support of two very committed kindergarten teachers we even managed to hatch chicks at home! I can’t say enough!… Read 47 reviews

Parent: The PJ23 community has been a wonderful school family! Our children have attended the preschool and we will continue their invaluable faith education into primary school. The preschool teachers are caring, thoughtful, easily accessible and outright AMAZING! I cannot imagine a more robust or loving environment for our kids to get prepared for Kindergarten and learn critical skills such as teamwork, kindness and emotional awareness. I am constantly inspired by the energy, creativity and care that these educators bring to young children. School administrators are responsive, accessible and faith driven.
Contrary to another review, it occurs to me that most families feel the implementation of research based Social Emotional Learning at all levels better prepares students to be thoughtful, inclusive and wise contributors to society.

And bonus at the end you get a delicious treat! Miss Bethany is creative, patient, and excellent with children!

Krystle Marquez, Director
Hello! My Name is Krystle, but most of the kids call me Ms. Stel. I have been a part of the LGTH community for the last 4 years and teaching for the last 10.I am a California native and transplant to Chicago in 2012. I graduated from Long Beach State University and recently finished my degree in Children’s Psychology and Art Therapy at National Louis University. I have worked with children of all ages and in many different settings, including babysitting, summer camp as well as in the both Montessori and traditional classroom settings for the last 9 years. For the last 10 years, I have exclusively worked in 2-year-old classrooms. When I’m not at LGTH I enjoy adventuring with my Fiancé and my dog Achilles. I enjoy crafting, game nights with friends, off-roading in our Jeep, and camping. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with you and your family!
Shirley Stevens, Assistant Director
Hi everyone, my name is Shirley Stevens, and I am pleased to serve as Assistant Director at Little Green Treehouse! I’ve had 8 years of experience in the field of education, as well as working as a volunteer with children at different after-school and outreach programs. I’ve had 4 years of professional experience working as both an Assistant and Lead Teacher with various age groups from infants to 5 years of age. I am a graduate of Eastern Illinois University where I obtained my FCS degree with a concentration in Family Services. After receiving my Bachelors, I’m currently on track to achieve my master’s degree in May 2023. My current program of study is in Child Development with a concentration in Administration. After obtaining my master’s, I’ll be looking forward to applying for my Doctorate or other certificate programs in Education. Working at Little Green Treehouse has been an impactful experience. I look forward to continuing to support our Director Krystle, the staff, and establishing meaningful relationships with you and your children!
Ryan Allen, Senior Managing Director
My name is Ryan. I received a Child Development degree from Ellis University in 2009. I went back to school the summer of 2015 to achieve my Director Credentials from Harold Washington. I began my career in daycare back in 2005 and have experience working with every age group. I moved into management in 2015 and opened, directed, and managed 7 locations with my previous company. As a Senior Managing Director, I believe that communication with staff is key in creating a positive and effective workplace. I consider myself to be an open, honest, and fair leader. I also believe that a strong, personal, and open relationship with parents is vital for the success of your child, the staff, and the center. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling as far and often as possible. My friends and I take full advantage of Chicago summers, enjoying concerts, street fests, and my favorite restaurant, The Dock at Montrose.
Betsy Taylor, Enrollment Administrator
Hello! My name is Betsy Taylor. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. During my sophomore year at Stanford, I studied abroad at Oxford University with the Stanford-in-Oxford program and fell in love with the UK! After graduating, I lived in London for many years. The last place I lived in London was in Borough on the South Bank which was a stones-throw from Borough Market, the National Theatre and the Tate Modern! I have been with Little Green Tree House for almost 11 years, and it has been my absolute pleasure to help so many families join LGTH over the last decade! I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of our wonderful parents and children. Early Childhood Education is my passion, and our talented teachers are a daily inspiration. Hearing “Miss Betsy” as I walk down the hallway will never cease to bring me sunshine on the rainiest of days! I can’t wait to welcome you and your child to the Little Green Tree House family! Come grow and learn with us!
Kaija Olson, Enrollment Assistant
Hi! My name is Kaija Olson and I grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota but moved to Chicago IL during the spring of 2019. I attended college at Whitworth University and Hope College where I studied communications and violin performance. Before coming to Little Green Tree House, I worked for several preschool companies as a teacher and parent relations guide in Chicago. I have loved seeing the amazing opportunities that ECE can provide for all age groups, infants-Pre-K. Since joining the Enrollment team at LGTH in 2021, I have immensely enjoyed the opportunity to welcome new prospective families and children. Outside of LGTH, I love to explore the city, try new recipes, go to concerts and paint in my free time.

early life and education
Orrington Lunt was born in Bowdoinham, Maine on December 24, 1815, the son of a merchant, William Lunt. [2] He is descended from an Englishman, Henry Lunt, who settled in Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1635. [2] He began working in his father’s shop as a clerk. [2]
Career
Grain merchant
When he came of age, Lant became his father’s partner. After his father died a few years later, Lant and his brother became business partners. When the business was unsustainable, he decided to sell the business and moved to Chicago in November 1842. He began his career in Chicago as a commission merchant selling groceries and grains. In 1845, he founded a grain warehouse near the waterfront. He became a member of the Trade Council. [2] When the railroads came to Chicago in 1853, it dramatically changed the way business was done. He took a break until 1859 and worked as a grain merchant until 1862. [2]
Investments
He invested in real estate, railroad and municipal enterprises. [2]
Community and civic efforts
University Hall at Northwestern University as it appeared in 1877
He was the founder, trustee and president of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. [1] [2] He was also treasurer and secretary of the Garrett Bible Institute. [1]
After retiring in 1862, he devoted most of his time to charity, education and religious activities. [2] During the Civil War, he played a leading role in the organization and supply of the regiments and was the head of the Security and Military Finance Committee. [2]
The campuses of Northwestern University and the Garrett Bible Institute were damaged in the Great Chicago Fire of October 1871. He joined forces to assess and meet post-fire needs. [2]
Marriage and children
Lunt was married to Cornelia A. Gray (1819-1909), daughter of Samuel Gray of Bowdoinham, in 1842. [1] [2] They moved to Chicago in 1842. Cornelia and Orrington had three children. Cornelia Gray Lunt was born on March 19, 1843 in Chicago and went to boarding school in Newburyport, Massachusetts and later Dearborn Seminary and Chicago Central High School in Chicago. She completed her education at the Van Norman Institute High School in New York City. Horace was born in 1847 and George in 1850. [1] Horace became a judge by 1897. [2]
The Luntz home was destroyed in the Great Fire of Chicago in October 1871. The family moved to Evanston, Illinois in 1872. Cornelia named her new home Anchorfast. [1]
Years later and death
His health began to deteriorate towards the end of 1894 and he died after 10 days of illness due to heart disease on April 5, 1897. [2] At the time of his death, Cornelia and Horace were his only surviving children. His son George died in 18

History
began in Scott Hall
History Amazingrace began in the moral of the war in Vietnam and was launched by the culture political ferment in the 1960s and 1970s. It began as a spontaneous feeding of student protesters on the campus of Northwestern University protesting the killing of four college students in Kent State and two students in Jackson State. The idea for a permanent student restaurant came about when the university closed the cafeteria that served independent students on campus. [2] The students formed the Scott Hall Grill Committee, which then successfully requested permission from the Associated Student Government to operate food and entertainment in the basement of 601 University Place. [3] At the same time, these students formed a communal living environment in an empty university apartment on Sherman Avenue.
The coffee house in the basement was a success: lunch was often sold and the room was assembled for evening music. Volunteer students ran daily in Chicago. Southern water market for fresh produce. Customers sat on the floor at tables with cable spools to eat muesli, chicken soup and soy bread. Anyone with a good recipe that could be served cheaply for 400 was invited to take turns cooking. [4]
Performers such as Bill Kveitman and Fred Anderson came to play and the patrons handed them a hat. The as-yet-unnamed location has also hosted outdoor concerts, sponsored art shows, and hosted alternative events. a free school whose offerings included “Street Medicine”, “Alternative Structures: From a Plastic Bag to a Geodesic Dome”, “Meher Baba” and “Computer Programming for Freaks”.
The place got its name when folk duo Norman Schwartz and Carla Reiter ended their set with a song. a cappella performance of the famous song “Great Grace”. The harsh response from the audience caused Schwartz and other performers to close subsequent sets in the same way, and soon the entire audience was singing what has now become the nightly finale of the club. [5] The song christened both the coffee house and the team.
Shanley Hall
In the fall of 1972, the university converted Scott Hall’s basement into an office. Amazingrace moved to the larger Shanley Hall, [6] which doubled the coffee shop’s capacity to 200 people. Shanley Hall, a Quonset Hut, was built after World War II to provide classes for students, G.I. Check. Amazingrace began booking tours for national artists such as Phil Ochs, David Bromberg, Mimi Farina, Jaime Brockett, John Hartford, Norman Blake, Ry Cooder, Mike Seeger, and Vassar Clements. These touring performances were then supplemented by local opening acts and headliners such as Luther Ellison, Claudia Schmidt, Tom Dundee, Bonnie Kolok and Redwood Landing.
In addition to Shanley Hall, Amazingrace also had access to larger campus venues such as 1200+ seats. Kahn Auditorium and the 8,000-seat McGaw Hall (now the Welsh Ryan Arena). Featuring the Taj Mahal Show, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, John Prine, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Steve Goodman, and the Grateful Dead.
The Grateful Dead concert at McGaw is memorable for two reasons. First, the band took an unusually long set break, about an hour. The second notable element was the startling sight of many silk parachutes stretched across the huge ceiling. The silk was part of a plan the band and Amazingrace created to “improve” the acoustics and visuals of the hall, which is being built as an aircraft hangar. While the famous Dead “wall of sound” did not officially debut until March 1974 Cow Palace in San Francisco, many of its elements have already been used at this concert, including McIntosh 2300 and 3500 amplifiers, noise-cancelling vocal microphones and a lot of JBL drivers. Despite complaints about delays, the consensus among reviewers was that the sound and set list were amazing. [7]
Despite this larger production, Amazingrace has maintained its coffeehouse tradition of broad cultural programming and community involvement. He developed his own ticketing system, designed and printed his own posters, and prepared lunch and dinner for his patrons and artists. Amazingrace hosted poetry readings, anti-war rallies, film screenings, and photo shows. He also continued to have guest chefs in the kitchen. The kitchen served as an informal Green Room for musicians, with the exception of the prominent American folk musician Odette. For Odette, the women’s bathroom was turned into a real dressing room, and the men’s toilet became a toilet during each of her classes.
“The atmosphere was very special,” recalls Bob Gibson, who recorded live with Amazingrace. “We knew it was going to be a really energetic performance.” [8]
As a result of its success, Amazingrace has become more visible, and along with it, two serious problems have arisen. The first issue was Amazingrace’s status as a university organization. By 1974, most members of the Amazingrace collective were no longer students. They either completed their studies or dropped out due to the demands of the club’s management. The university did not like the fact that they continued to use its territory and premises. In addition, Amazingrace’s loose “bring your own” beer and marijuana policy has left university president Robert Strotz worried about “a situation that could lead to the establishment being arrested.” [9] Then, on November 6, 1973, the city of Evanston ratcheted up the pressure when it warned the university that by allowing Amazingrace to continue operating, Northwestern was violating zoning rules that prohibited commercial commercial operations on university-owned lands. [10]
Amazingrace’s second big problem at the time was also with the city of Evanston, but that issue was about the group’s new social life situation on Colfax Street in Evanston. A dozen people lived on Colfax Street, in addition to the frequent touring musicians, poets and yuppies who could always find food and a bed in the basement. This style of living violates the rules of Evanston. exclusive zoning ordinance banning more than three unrelated people from living together. In response, Amazingrace teamed up with the head of Evanston. American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to challenge the ruling. However, both sides agreed to end efforts on April 1974, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of this type of ruling in a similar case, Village of Belle Terre v. Boras.
The Main and Amazingrace West
In late 1974, after years of disagreements and conflicts with both Northwest and Evanston, Amazingrace severed ties with Northwest, moved from Colfax Street, and disbanded as a group. Several members left for new ventures outside of the music business. The five members headed west to Eugene, Oregon, where they lived and worked for the next two years as Amazingrace “West”, producing and promoting shows by Mimi Farina, Brian Bowers, John Prine, Sam Leopold, and Turkey Run. They also worked with Evgeny WOW. hall, supply of sound equipment and assistance in booking.
Six participants remained in Evanston. They occupied a small 4-unit house on Crane Street in Evanston, thus complying with the city’s rules of residence. They partnered with architect Evanston. Ed Noonan to create the next iteration of Amazingrace at The Main, Noonan’s new mixed-use development at 845 Chicago Avenue in Evanston. [11]
Amazingrace was now much closer to Chicago, directly across the street from Chicago Transit Authority El Railroad Station. The area of the new premises was 3297 square feet. It had no catering kitchen or liquor license, but its good location, reasonable prices (admission $2.50 to $3.50 for one of two nightly sets), “not a nightclub” vibe and a “cheers for all ages” policy grew. the audience. Amazingrace at The Main, with 16-foot-tall acoustic ceilings and a circular balcony, accommodated almost 400 attendees, most of whom sat on carpeted floors. The sound system featured Electro-Voice Sentry III Studio Monitor Speakers, Dynaco Stereo 400 Amplifiers and Allen and Hit Deck and Amazingrace’s own 24-band Earworks Graphic EQ. [12] A Colorthran light board and theater-quality lighting fixtures complemented the sound system and enhanced the performance. Reviewers noted that the performers received a “warm reception … enhanced by the open, laid-back atmosphere of the two-tier club and clean, open amplification.” [13]
Live and recorded broadcasts of concerts on radio stations continued to be a staple, as was Shanley Hall. A midnight special, a popular folk program on Chicago fine arts station WFMT-FM, featuring frequent shows Amazingrace, as well as rock station WXRT-FM and Northwestern University station WNUR-FM.
During this period, the list of participants expanded to include jazz. Established masters Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Eddie Harris and McCoy Tyner played rematches. Rollins came out of retirement to play on the court; jazz great Bill Evans also played there. Amazingrace has also become a meeting place for a new generation of future jazz performers, including pianists. Keith Jarrett, the Paul Winter Consort, Anthony Braxton, Jack DeJohnette, Simon & Bard, Miroslav Vitoush, Oregon, vibraphonist Gary Burton, bassist Steve Swallow, drummer Bob Moses and guitarist Pat Metheny. Avant-garde jazz artists such as Fred Anderson, Sun Ra, Douglas Ewart and Billy Brimfield performed there frequently.
In addition to jazz, the overall range of presentations has also increased. Amazingrace has hosted national acts from the folk, country, blues, funk, soul, rock, swing, and bluegrass traditions. Randy Newman, Persuasion, Jimmy Buffett, New Grass Revival, Tom Rush, Emmylou Harris, Jerry Jeff Walker, Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny, Doc Watson and Merle Watson, Mary Travers, Terry Callier and John Hiatt played there.
The relationship with the performers was personal. For example, when Steve Goodman needed money to buy a house, he called Amazingrace and asked if they could book it quickly. As a result, the four sold-out shows became known as the “Let’s Buy Steve a House” concert. Soon after, when the Crane Street washing machine broke down, Goodman ordered his road manager, Steve Cohen, to buy the team a new one. “This,” Cohen says, “is a Steve Goodman memory washing machine.” [14]
Continuing the coffeehouse tradition established at Scott and Shanley Halls, Amazingrace at The Main also featured films, lectures, theatre, comedy and poetry. Steve Martin played his first comedy shows in Chicago at Amazingrace. Henny Youngman and Proctor & Bergman of the Firesign Theater played sold-out shows. Charles Bukowski, Ann Waldman, and US Poet Laureate Mark Strand appeared as part of the Poetry Project Without Mountains of reading and review series. Allen Ginsberg to read in benefit performance for Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, 16th Gyalwa Karmapa.
In 1976, the Piven Theater Workshop chose Amazingrace as their rehearsal and performance venue for their unique combination of storytelling and improvisational theatre. [15] This allowed Amazingrace to host the first performances of what would become the next great generation of Chicago actors. Performers at the time included Jeremy Piven, John Cusack, Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn, Lili Taylor, and Joan Cusack.
Once again, Amazingrace’s popularity, artistic success and commitment to low prices has come at a cost to the community. Finances were a problem. Members of the collective needed part-time work to cover their living expenses. Lack of income from liquor and food sales made it difficult to generate enough cash flow to pay for rent, electricity, advertising, and performances. Additional pressure came from the ever-increasing total maintenance and heating bills that Heil, Heil, Smart and Golee (Main’s Management Firm) imposed. At 19’78 Amazingrace was behind on rent but was able to negotiate a settlement with Heil, Heil, Smart & Golee. Despite adhering to the terms of the settlement agreement, the management firm subsequently ordered Amazingrace to leave The Main. Citing high costs and irresponsible management, several other stores left at the same time. [16] [17]
Amazingrace at The Main’s last show took place on July 31, 1978, a roaring 4-day weekend featuring Jim Post, Corky Siegel, Tom Dundee, and Steve Goodman, with fans, musicians, and exes. team members from all over the country. [18] [19] The final song, performed from the stage with the participation of the audience, was “Amazing Grace”. [20]
The members of Evanston continued as Amazingrace and put on several shows at other local venues such as the Varsity Theater and Peak-Steiger Concert Hall until the early 1980s.
Legacy
Although Amazingrace’s last establishment closed in 1978, its legacy and influence has endured. Nightclub FitzGerald’s, [21] Morse Theater Project, [22] and Evanston S.P.A.C.E. [23] Everyone calls Amazingrace their model and inspiration.
Amazingrace reunions are held irregularly. The first was in 1988 at Shenley Hall in Evanston. The 2004 reunion was at Center East in Skokie, Illinois and featured Redwood Landing and Bonnie Kolok. In 2011, the 40th Anniversary Celebration was held throughout the week at several venues at Northwestern University Library, 9 “Still ‘amazing’ after all these years: Northwestern University News.” Northwestern University .

Mayfair Collection Brand Creator on Challenges of Developing a Retail Project
Brand architect Christopher Thomas spoke with a smile about the completion of the first phase of the Mayfair Collection launch in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin last week.
As President of TOA Architecture, Evanston, Illinois, Thomas has spent the last five years building a major retail center at Highway 45 and West Burleigh Street. So it was with joy that he watched the ceremonial completion of the first phase of construction last week.
Chicago real estate agency HSA Commercial Real Estate first came up with the idea of an office, retail and residential complex, tentatively called the Burleigh Triangle, ten years ago. However, the global crisis forced the agency to moderate its ardor, as a result of which, at the moment, only the first stage of the construction of the shopping center has been completed. Most of the trading floors with an area of 25,000 sq. m. was converted from a former warehouse.
Thomas took a few minutes to talk to us. During this time, he managed to talk about the difficulties of developing the project and the decision to reuse old warehouses.
Was it really easier to adapt the existing warehouses than just demolish them and build a new shopping center in their place?
The most difficult thing was to convince the skeptics, who did not understand all the advantages of this enterprise. When it comes to designing retail space, warehouse and retail space are very similar in many ways. In both cases, large, tall beams are needed. So we were able to use the existing structure, the foundation and one of the outer walls. This made it possible to direct the saved money to the arrangement of common areas.
Naturally, there were some problems at the initial stage. For example, the height of all warehouses did not exceed 1.2 meters – in front of us was nothing more than ordinary loading docks. However, we managed to move the structure back so that the slope of the parking spaces up to this level was not noticeable at all. Then problems arose in obtaining reliable documentation for the former buildings. The process was very long and tiring, but it was worth it. I think as soon as others realize the full benefits of this kind of reuse of premises, we will see many more examples of this. Just imagine how many old industrial buildings can be reused and much more efficiently, both architecturally and economically.
What was the most difficult part of developing the project?
I would single out two aspects. First of all, the total length of the project is about 300 meters, about 5 minutes walk. So one building was clearly not enough here. We had to create a series of interconnected rooms, providing the opportunity for visitors to move around on foot. Everything progressive, new and unusual always stimulates to move forward.
The second problem, one might say, followed from the first. Here we are dealing with a one-way shopping complex, i.e. unlike a standard shopping center, it stands apart – there are no shops nearby, only parking. So we had to think a lot to make people feel comfortable here. In particular, we created a variety of facades both on the inside and outside of the arcade, partially covering it. It turned out to be a very active terrain and interesting pavement of roads and sidewalks. We tried to create such an atmosphere here that even one person would not feel lonely.
What major changes took place within the project?
The biggest change was that there was originally a large parking space between the Nordstrom Rack and the Saks Off Fifty, as there was no storage space before.
Just before the dismantling, we realized the need to connect these two stores with retail space, otherwise access to the northern part would be much worse than to the south. As the space filled up, we pushed it back 6 meters and created a curved open car park that can be seen here and now. Due to the parking requirements of the retailer, we had to exchange a piece of land for a new retail space. But I think it was worth it.
How does this complex differ from a traditional shopping center in terms of its appearance and disadvantages?
Here we are dealing with large format retail, which usually consists of large boxes with a pair of sliding doors in the middle and a sign at the top. It is rare to see a path opposite, even above the level of the parking areas. The goal of individual retailers is for you to drive as close to their store entrance as possible, park, go inside, buy something, get back in your car, and drive away. This reduces the concept of shopping to the lowest common denominator.
In our case, we wanted to create a place where people can enjoy shopping itself. At the same time, you will want to wander around the shops longer and spend more time here. Our parking lot is also in front, but not as deep as usual, so it won’t take long to get to the arcade. In other words, we tried to combine the convenience of a good old mall with the experience of a modern retail complex.
What else makes your project unique?
Yes, this is just the beginning. There are a whopping 70 acres of land ahead, and our master plan is changing daily with new ideas and new potential. It rarely happens that the retail center becomes the first stage in the construction of a multifunctional complex, but our attention to the pedestrian concept of the project has done its job. The second phase of development involves the creation of a dense network of restaurants, a hotel and renovated warehouses. New names of retailers are waiting for you, led by Whole Foods.
The subsequent phases will have the same features and the same rationale as the first phase of the project, not excluding new ways of expression and development. Restaurants will be located around a special show space, which will be our small version of Millennium Park, which will include outdoor halls and restaurants. At the center of it all, there will be a dynamic, urban-style street where pedestrians can get out of their cars and walk around.
Subsequently, new phases of the creation of a modern residential complex within walking distance await us. We would hardly have been able to do this if we followed the usual formula of retail design. Fortunately, the developer took into account our wishes, and we succeeded.

Where the American business elite study. The ranking of the best MBA programs in the US
The popularity of MBA programs in American business schools has been declining in recent years – the proliferation of online courses is making itself felt. However, employers still value MBAs. A survey of graduates showed that diplomas from leading business schools pay for themselves in about four years. Students in the top 25 schools increased their income from an average of $73,000 before admission to $1.
Forbes’ new ranking of America’s Best Business Schools ranks schools solely by five-year median return on investment in education. Forbes polled more than 100 business schools and surveyed 17,500 alumni, looking at their salaries before they got their MBA and after they graduated. Schools with less than 15% of graduates who answered Forbes questions were not included in the ranking. In addition, those schools were not included in the rating, after graduation from which the return on investment in education after five years was negative.
Forbes compared the income of graduates in the first five years after they received an MBA with the income they could have received without studying at business school (taking into account the salary that the graduate did not receive while studying, tuition fees and other related with tuition costs).
School of Business. Booth at the University of Chicago (Chicago Booth) this year for the first time topped the rankings. Chicago Booth was founded in the late 19th century and is America’s oldest business school after Wharton. Among the graduates of the school are nine Nobel laureates in economics. Booth graduates of 2014 entered with a median income of $83 900 and earned an average of $245,000 last year, so their five-year MBA gains were $94,400 after tuition and fees.
Freddie Elorza joined Booth in 2012 after teaching math and engineering at a high school in Miami for four years. The two years I spent in Chicago were beneficial both in and out of the classroom. “Because I moved from education to consulting, the education I received at Booth has paid dividends many times over,” says Elorza. “The point of studying is not to prepare for a specific career. It’s more about learning the skills you’ll need as a business leader. I didn’t realize how important it was.”
After graduating, Elorza took a position as a consultant at Accenture, where he worked in M&A and corporate strategy. Last year he moved to Coca-Cola. “Organizational management classes at Booth helped me understand the value of building strong relationships in organizations,” says Elorza.
Two-thirds of Booth’s 2018 graduates went into consulting or finance, which are considered the most lucrative areas for MBAs. Consulting firms McKinsey, Bain, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, and Amazon are the top five employers for Booth graduates. The median base salary for Booth graduates who found consulting jobs was $150,000, the highest of any American school, and equaled that of Stanford and Harvard finance graduates in all fields.
Chicago Booth is led by Madhav Rajan, who took over as dean in July 2017 after 27 years at Stanford and Wharton. Three months after his appointment, Rajan was unexpectedly lucky – alumni Amy and Richard Wolman donated $ 75 million for scholarships and research.
“When I meet with alumni, they tell me even 20-30 years after graduation that two years spent at Chicago Booth changed their lives, because there they were taught to think, make decisions in conditions of uncertainty and influence others so as to achieve the desired result,” says Rajan.
Booth alumni often cite Chicago Booth’s strong alumni network as one of its greatest strengths. 54,000 people graduated from the school, now its graduates work in 120 countries of the world. Among them are business titans such as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Morningstar founder Joe Mansueto and Carlyle Group co-founder William Conway.
Behind Chicago Booth is Stanford Graduate School of Business, which ranked second for the second year in a row. The increase in the income of its graduates was $ 90 800 in five years. Stanford graduates earn the highest salaries five years after graduation ($250,000), but the rising cost of living in Northern California, where many graduates live, has reduced their overall earnings growth.
Getting into an MBA at Stanford is the hardest thing – only 6% of applicants are accepted. From last year’s issue, a third went to work in IT, 31% – in the financial sector, 18% – in consulting. And 16% of school graduates founded startups themselves.
The top 5 US business schools in terms of return on investment also include the School of Management. Kellogg at Northwestern University, Harvard Business School, and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Face-to-face MBA programs have fallen on hard times lately with the rise of online education, accelerated one-year programs and specialized master’s programs. According to the US Department of Education, over the past five years, the number of students in MBA programs has been declining.
A survey among graduates showed that diplomas from leading business schools pay for themselves in about four years.

The Plano Independent School district has three academy high school that students can attend. The IB academy , the STEM academy, and The Health Sciences Academy. I will graduate from the Health Science Academy program in 2021. It was absolutely great! I will have Certified Nurses Assistant, Electrocardiogram Technician, and Emergency Medical Technician certifications when I graduate High School as well as an Associates degree. I have gained tremendous exposure to the health care field from my clinical experience. I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the human body from the anatomical structure to the cellar level. I feel like I already have a head start on medical school and I haven’t even graduated high school.

I like the teacher and clubs & activities in PISD. I join the Environmental club in Clark High School, we clean our school! Most of the PISD is very kind, they willing to help me on everything. My current English teacher is really helping me on my classes. I’m going to take AP computer science next year, it exhilarating to take it.
PISD was a good and bad district at the same time. I made many lifelong friends there, through the clubs and extracurriculars that I was in. They have excellent sports teams and musical ensembles, but they put a lot of pressure on their students. Teachers often assign a lot of course work, and give difficult tests. I did more work in high school than I do in college, but I can say that they prepared us well for college courses. It is highly competitive, so my anxiety worsened while I was there, but I did not perform horribly because it pushed me to try harder. I can only list out a few teachers that I think actually cared about me, as they went above and beyond to help us succeed.

Campus Accountability Reports
Texas Education Code §39. 053 requires each district’s board of trustees to publish an annual report that includes the TAPR (Texas Academic Performance Report) report; campus performance objectives; a report of violent or criminal incidents; and, information received under Texas Education Code §51.403(e) from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
House Bill 5 of the 83rd Texas Legislative Session included a local evaluation requirement that is referred to as the School District Evaluation of Performance in Community and Student Engagement/Compliance. The statute requires each district to evaluate and designate a performance rating for the district and each of its campuses based on criteria set by a local committee (TEC 39.0545).

Plano ISD is required by the Texas Education Agency to report three CaSE components that will be evaluated and the criteria that will be used for that evaluation before the beginning of each school year. The district must evaluate itself on the three selected components and assign a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F for each and for overall CaSE performance. Each campus must also evaluate itself and assign a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F for each of the three components and for overall performance. These letter grades will become part of district and campus state academic accountability ratings in 2017-18 school year.

North Texas schools graded for the first time since the pandemic.
How did yours do?
More Texas schools earned high marks from the state this year than prior to the pandemic, another welcome sign pointing to students’ academic momentum as they head back to class.
Nearly three-quarters of Texas schools earned an A or B in the state’s academic accountability rating system. In 2019, roughly 60% of schools earned that designation.
Dallas earned a B rating, as did other large local districts, including Fort Worth and Plano. Among the local districts earning the top A grade were Frisco, Coppell and Highland Park.
“Even with all of the disruptions of the pandemic, we’ve seen significant gains, especially in academic growth,” Texas education commissioner Mike Morath said.
No schools received a failing grade. Instead, those that would have earned the lowest marks — a D or F grade — are listed as “not rated” as the Texas Education Agency acknowledges the lingering impact of COVID-19 on schools.
The only local district not rated was Lake Worth. The district, located just north of Fort Worth, earned a 67 as its overall score.
Of the nearly 8,500 campuses graded, 7% did not earn a rating. In a typical year, that could expose them to consequences. If a school or district receives enough consecutive failing grades, the state can decide to close a campus or intervene in a district.
Between 2019 and this year, one-third of campuses improved their letter grade while 15% declined.
This is the first time since the pandemic hit that families will get a glimpse of how their campuses fared in the A-F accountability system. Gov. Greg Abbott canceled both the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, exams and school ratings in 2020 soon after campuses closed.
The accountability system, largely based on STAAR results, takes into account three major categories: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.
Student achievement is mostly determined by STAAR scores. School progress includes how much improvement they made on the tests from one year to the next or how well they did in relation to comparable campuses. “Closing the gaps” looks at how well schools do educating children in different subgroups, such as those living in poverty, enrolled in special education or of various races.
Seventy percent of a grade is based on either student achievement or school progress — whichever is the higher grade — while closing the gaps makes up 30%.
Nearly half of schools saw their highest score in the growth domain, compared with 17% in 2019.
“More kids are growing in a year’s time than historically has been the case,” Morath said. “If we can sustain, that’s like a higher rate of compound interest.”
Morath acknowledged that a campus may earn a high grade, even if students overall scored poorly on STAAR, as long as it made progress over last year. But if a school ends up with strong progress year over year, he said, they ultimately “will not end up with low levels of achievement.”
Texas has largely been unsuccessful in previous attempts to help kids who have fallen behind catch up. On average, only 4% of all of the state’s students — across all grades and subjects — who are below grade level catch up to grade level within two years, a pre-pandemic study found.
The state has long trailed in national measures of student progress.

Morath attributed this year’s accelerated growth to several state policies, including legislatively mandated tutoring and Reading Academies, which require that certain teachers study the science behind how children learn to read.
He said the agency is working on an analysis to prove whether districts that embraced those strategies saw major growth, but it does not yet have that information prepared.
“We’re getting a bunch of very strong anecdotal reports back,” he said.

Local results
Dallas trustees reviewed preliminary data Thursday showing the district will maintain its B rating.
“We’ve got work to do, no denying that,” trustee Joe Carreón said. But he added that he was heartened by the number of campuses that moved up a letter.
“To any principal who watches this later or teacher who can hear my voice later, thank you so much,” Carreón said.
Of Dallas ISD’s more than 220 schools, 26 — many of them magnets or early college programs — earned an A, but nearly two dozen weren’t rated at all. The remaining schools earned a B or a C.
One of the Dallas schools that did not earn a rating was Frederick Douglass Elementary, which was part of the district’s signature school turnaround — ACE — program last year.

After earning a C in 2019, Fort Worth school leaders celebrated moving up to a B. That district’s longtime superintendent Kent Scribner is stepping down soon, and trustees have narrowed down finalists, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Almost every district in Dallas, Collin, Denton and Tarrant counties scored at least a C.
The majority of school districts in Dallas County garnered a B, including Mesquite, Grand Prairie and Garland. DeSoto ISD — which remains under a state conservatorship after financial woes and leadership troubles — moved up to a B. Cedar Hill ISD was the lone district in the county to receive a C.
Cedar Hill spokesman Michael Sudhalter said the district has “already begun rolling up its sleeves to improve quickly.”
“The grade doesn’t define who we are as a district, but it does provide learning opportunities and soul searching as the district moves forward,” he said in a statement. “This is not the time to retreat, but rather to reinvest in CHISD educators, who are committed to scholar success.”
Sunnyvale joined Highland Park and Coppell in earning an A. Collin County school districts earning an A include Allen, Prosper and Wylie. Those that received a B include McKinney, Anna and Plano, which missed out on an A by one point.
Tarrant County districts receiving the top marks include Grapevine-Colleyville, Hurst-Euless-Bedford and Southlake Carroll.
Schools had millions of extra federal dollars available to them this year to support academic acceleration. They funneled that pandemic aid toward extra tutors, longer school days and other high-cost interventions.
Superintendents must evaluate what strategies actually yielded results for kids and figure out how to keep them going, particularly after the money runs out.
Mesquite superintendent Ángel Rivera said his district — like others — is examining results and efforts to figure out what is actually generating gains. When the time runs out, he said, they’ll ask themselves: “Where are we going to prioritize our local funding?”
Morath celebrated Back Elementary’s grade bump on Monday. The Garland school jumped from a low B before the pandemic to an A this year.
The commissioner praised teachers and staff for doing the hard work of catching kids up after the pandemic hit. Strategies like mandated tutoring for struggling students aren’t easy, he said, but bear real fruit for children.
At one point, Morath got on his knees and bowed toward the Back Elementary staff.
“For the kids who were struggling the most, they got more specific attention in the last year than perhaps ever before,” he said. “That’s not easy to do.”

Poverty as predictor
Some superintendents have long argued that the A-F accountability system oversimplifies education and stigmatizes schools with large numbers of children who live in poverty. A family’s income is often deeply tied to how a child performs on standardized tests.
Districts in poorer areas grapple more with the effects of limited financial resources, trauma and housing instability. And such neighborhoods were hit particularly hard by COVID-19.
Morath pushed back on the idea that the system is merely a measure of poverty. Roughly 18% of all high-poverty campuses in Texas scored a 90 or above.
“Even where almost all of your kids are low-income, we have campuses that are knocking it out of the park that are demonstrating both high levels of growth and high levels of achievement,” Morath said.
But only 21 public schools in Dallas County that serve a student population where 80% or more are from low-income families received an A this year. By comparison, 34 Dallas County schools serving similar student populations weren’t rated at all.
In Tarrant County, 19 high-poverty schools scored a 90 or above, which equates to an A. Another 29 schools didn’t even make a 70, or a C. Only one high-poverty school in Denton County received an A, and none of Collin County’s five high-poverty school campuses earned the top mark.
Supporters of the letter grades say they offer families more transparency about how schools are doing.
“I am a dad,” Morath said. “I use these ratings two ways: I use ratings to advocate for my school to get better, and I use these ratings to evaluate where my kid is, to make sure that I have the best-fit school for my own child.”

15 Best Places to Live in Texas / Travel Guides
There are few places in the United States or in the world that are as stereotypical as Texas. The mention of the name evokes certain images of the place. Country music. Western hats. A certain characteristic punch and thrust. Kebabs. Rodeo and ranch. Heavy Duty Pickups. Cowboys ride cattle on horseback. American flag on the front porch. Starry night sky. And, of course, the Dallas Cowboys. Well, Lone Star State is both. A lot more. And if you want to move here, chances are you’ll be interested in more than just the stereotypes. It’s good that Texas has always been an attractive state for reasons that include a good climate, low state taxes, affordable housing, exciting cities, and plenty of entertainment. And, as if we needed a reminder, the latest Best Cities to Live in America ranking placed Texas firmly second in terms of fitness, behind only California. Niche.com rankings take into account aspects such as the quality of local schools, employment statistics, housing trends, crime rates and access to services.. We have come up with our own list based on this hard data and what the locals themselves say. And here are the cities, towns, and suburbs that made our list of the 15 Best Places to Live in Texas.
1. Woodlands
Source: Thierry Dehove / Shutterstock The Woodlands The Woodlands has been named the sixth best place to live in America. This isn’t all that surprising, because anyone who has spent time in one of Houston’s poshest suburbs will surely recognize that the place truly is in a class of its own.. The small town of 105,000 has enough upscale restaurants, shops, concerts and other events to make it a destination in its own right. It’s also one of the most picturesque places you’ll ever live, with lush greenery and woodland characterizing the landscape. You know, there’s a reason they call it The Woodlands. The crime rate is absolutely low if you think the bad guys can hide in the bushes, and there is only one case of burglary per 100,000 annually. The cost of living is slightly higher, but many will consider the $311,300 average house price an absolute steal.
2. Plano
Source: Michael Barera / Wikimedia Plano Plano is very well located, quietly behind The Woodlands, according to the latest data, the seventh best in the US. In Plano, home to 275,645 people, the crime rate in Texas is one of the lowest, as well as one of the lowest taxes in the region. It prides itself on being a “great place to do business” and fits that tag very strongly. A constellation of office buildings pierces its Texas sky, and every business seems to be moving its operations here – JP Morgan Chase, Dean & Delucca, Barnes & Noble, Shake Shack and more. It is also the regional headquarters for such giants as PepsiCo, Bank of America, Intel and Cigna.. With this phenomenal growth rate, the median home value is unlikely to stay at $329,100 for long (it was $301,848 in 2016 and $231,600 in 2011). This is an incredibly diverse city, Plano, with a whopping 80 languages spoken in its highly ranked schools. New residents are sure to quickly warm up to their new surroundings, given the kind of camaraderie that the community seeks to foster. Check out the recommended hotels in Texas (TX)
3. Uless
Source: Billy Hathorne / Wikimedia Uless Uless considers itself a medium-sized city with a small town feel. Whether a population of 53,000 is enough to define a medium-sized city, we’re not entirely sure. But what’s certain is that the city, nestled between Dallas and Fort Worth, is one of the best places to live in Texas. As with many other parts of the state these days, Uless is quite diverse, with large Hispanic and Asian populations. Indeed, the most diverse public high school in Texas is here. Trinity High School, a high-profile institution in every aspect – academic, athletic (the Trojans were 2015 district championship winners), and even specialized classes that include robotics and cosmetology. Outdoor enthusiasts will be happy to know that Euless has an 18-hole championship golf course. Plus, there’s a water park where kids can lose themselves, not to mention 300 acres of parkland. The unemployment rate is just 4.1% and the added bonus in a state where long distances are the norm is that Dallas is only 30 minutes away. A typical house in Ulessa costs $200,000.
4. Richardson
Source: zbowling / Flickr Richardson For those looking to raise a family in Texas, one area you should consider is Richardson. It is a well-run suburb of 110,000 residents where more than half of all adults have a bachelor’s degree. The typical household brings in over $80,000 a year, most of which goes to savings (we want to believe), given that the cost of living is lower than in most cities.. Goods and services are purchased at national average prices. And with violent crime becoming almost unheard of around these places, it’s easy to see why Richardson made it into the impressive #13 Best Cities to Live in America. Richardson residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: the economic opportunity and cultural conveniences of a big city, the downside of property, and a higher rate of violent crime..
5. Round Rock
Source: Philip Arno Photo / Shutterstock Round Rock For many years, Round Rock has been ubiquitous in the best places to live in the country, and in 2017 a small suburban utopia numbering around 110,000 residents, registered at No. 16. And here’s why. On the one hand, Round Rock is within easy reach of all the fun and culture of Austin, and Dallas is also less than three hours away. Unemployment is extremely low and everyone you come across seems to be engineers. But that’s probably because it’s Dell’s home, with other tech behemoths like IBM and Samsung also laying claim to this coveted land, away from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley. Most Round Rock residents own their own homes, but if you want to move out on rent, the current rate is $1,000. The schools are excellent, always score high, and the area boasts a selection of eateries big enough for a big city. There are many opportunities for outdoor activities – jogging trails, endless parks, plenty of opportunities for sports and recreation, not to mention a host of other special events. Round Rock is a dream. American dream.
6. Austin
Source: f11photo / shutterstock Austin We don’t often see major cities on lists of the best places to live, relying only on their suburbs for bragging rights. But Austin managed the incredible number 22 in 2017. The Texas capital is so attractive that it’s not the first time it’s received an honorable mention this year. US News & World News has previously been less conservative: Austin is named the best place to live in America in an annual report that ranks the top 100 US metropolitan areas.. It knocked Denver off his feet, and, in part, thanked for the high level of desirability. The favorable rating was also helped by the increase in the average wage in the capital, which stands at $57,689, as well as the low unemployment rate, which has hovered at about three percent over the past year. him like a moth. Which naturally follows from the fact that the nightlife should be vibrant, and this is exactly what you get. Surprisingly, Austin’s population has managed to stay below the 1 million mark – it currently stands at 947,890. But it’s only a matter of time before that barrier is broken, especially given that homes cost an average of $325,700.
somewhere in the center of central Texas, 100 miles from Houston (in the northwest) and Austin (in the northeast), and Dallas is located 200 miles to the north.. The city of 101,000 people takes its name from the prestigious location of the famous Texas A&M University, one of America’s largest public universities. It has been accused of having a small town feel, but it turns out that this feeling is what led to it being ranked #28 on America’s Best Cities to Live in. Expected to be incredibly diverse, and living wage is acceptable, which is below the national average. Texas is a possibility, that’s for sure. But if you really want to cut your costs and don’t mind the small-town feel, then you’ll definitely love College Station. The interest rate for the average home is slightly below the $200,000 mark. Residents enjoy the convenience of a Bicycle, Walk and Greenway Plan that takes into account the interests of everyone. And the result could only be happy residents.
8. Houston
Source: f11photo / shutterstock Houston Houston has made a name for itself as a space shuttle launch center (and possibly refineries), but the city of Bayou is much larger. It was ranked #57 on America’s Best Cities to Live in and for years this economic giant was considered the nation’s biggest job creator, and an incredible 26 Fortune 500 companies call the city home. Possibly What’s even more striking about Houston is that you would expect it to be undeniably expensive, but salaries in this city of 2.3 million people go further than anywhere else in the country.. Healthcare in Houston is important in every sense of the word, as the city has a medical center that is larger than downtown Dallas. $900 easily puts it in a winning position as one of America’s best cities.
9. Denton
Source: Stephen Wagner of Fort Worth, Texas, USA / Wikimedia Denton If you’re looking to move to Dallas, one of the first places you should start looking is Denton. Denton is a county, although its principal city also shares the same name. Education seems to be an integral part of Texas right now, and Denton is determined not to be left behind. The University of Texas and Texas Woman’s University are both based in this city of 125,734, making it a university town. Big D, Dallas. It is one of the most diverse, culturally vibrant, and forward-thinking communities in Texas.. Most residents are either tech entrepreneurs or creative industries. The city ranks highly in residential development (currently the average cost of housing is $265,000) and is generally considered exceptionally livable. There is a thriving arts and culture scene that is considered large in size, with an average of 20 significant fairs and festivals annually. From music to airshows; Cinco de Mayo even. And did we mention that it was ranked #64 on the list of the best cities to live in America? Like this!
10. Lubbock
Source: IrinaK / shutterstock Lubbock The name may not display images of a place worthy of the top 100 in the list of best cities, but the names in Lubbock mean little. It is in Lubbock that you will find Texas Tech University, the largest employer in the city of 240,000. Many residents also work in the Lubbock Independent School District (note the school theme) and the Covenant Health System. The high number of jobs in education and healthcare means that approximately three out of every 10 adults in Lubbock have a college degree. The city is well positioned in terms of commuting, and actually has one of the lowest percentages of people who commute for 60 minutes or more. Again, with everyone working at their neck of the forest, that’s to be expected, no? However, the city has a well developed transport system and decent public transport. It’s advertised as being very conservative, although the nightlife itself is surprisingly good, with plenty of places to go. Outdoor enthusiasts may feel a little limited, but for those looking to pursue a career in education, you’ll rarely find better cities that fit the bill..

11. Frisco
Source: Andrew Fuller / Shutterstock San Francisco With upscale public schools, affordable housing, and plenty of recreational activities, the Dallas Frisco suburb has been one one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the state. . The urban suburb of 277,600 has been dubbed a “shopper’s paradise” because of its nine million square feet of stores and restaurants that support the state’s “big factor” Lone Star.. House prices have skyrocketed in the past few years – from $277,600 in 2011 to $393,500 today – and the market is expected to remain bullish. So if there was ever a time to buy, now would be perfect. If you are into sports, then Frisco is the perfect place for you. It’s home to every team you’ve heard of growing up, and sports in particular are a huge employer and its health care also wins a lot of awards.
12. Pearland
Source: Grguy2011 / Wikimedia Pearland Pearland is conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown Houston (and 15 minutes from Johnson Space Center). On average, each household brings in $95,972 per year, and the high earning rate can be attributed to over two dozen Fortune 500 companies in Houston, which have undoubtedly contributed to the notable diversity you will find in this area. Public Schools are established performers and when it comes to restaurants and shopping, in a fast growing Texas suburb, you’ll be spoiled for choice. The city has about 140 restaurants, with an open-air mall and the Pearland Town Center, where you can have a great time shopping and hanging out with friends.. The people of Pearland love their golf. You’ll often find them swinging on some of the city’s popular courses, including the 18-course level championship of Pearland Golf Club, Golfcrest Country Club and Southwyck Golf Club. Compared to most parts of the state, the cost of living is too high. House rentals average $1,206, but given the perks that life in Pearland brings, that’s a small potato.
13. Cedar Park
Source: Larry D. Moore / Wikimedia Cedar Park It may not have made the list of the best cities, but Cedar Park offers one of the most desirable family-raising areas in all of Texas. This is a vibrant suburb in Austin with a population of 60,800. It is 20 minutes from the city center and the city is highly regarded when it comes to public schools, family desirability, diversity and nightlife. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate what Cedar Park has to offer, with nearby attractions , including Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Travis. Restaurants are also plentiful, ranging from famous Texas steakhouses to Asian cuisine (a common trend in Texas), as well as a number of beer bars and trendy coffee shops. at Cedar Park; Here you will find everything you need (and do not need).
14. Spicewood
Source: Beth Kane / Shutterstock Spicewood Hiding away from downtown Austin, you’ll come across one of the most scenic suburbs in Texas. Spicewood is a stunning community along northern Lake Travis in Burnet County. It has about 10,000 residents, most of these houses are in or near the seven figure range. Well, it all depends on where exactly the property is located, but the average is hovering around the $600,000 mark. What this great community offers is incredibly difficult these days: loneliness. It’s hard not to love it, and it’s good that it’s not just perfect for retirees. The area has an excellent elementary school, making it one of the most ideal places to live in Austin if you have young children. Every time they get bored of serenity and want a dose of city madness, downtown is always only 45 minutes away.
15. Lewisville
Denton County, Dallas with a population of 101,000 residents. Unlike Spicewood, housing prices are low (lower than the national average) and average 156,800 people. For a municipality that is minutes from Dallas and Fort Worth, this is nothing short of humble. But it’s not like it’s a city for the poor. It just happens that Lewisville offers value for money with an eclectic range. They range from many outdoor activities, most of which revolve around Lake Lewisville, to the shopping district of Lewisville’s Old Town. Overall desirability for families is pretty high, with exceptional ratings when it comes to the usual suspects – public schools, health and fitness, jobs, livability, diversity, and commute (all rated A on Niche.com), as well as many other factors.

A mass shooting at an educational institution in Uvalda, Texas, has once again drawn attention to school safety in the United States. Despite the declared various measures, the use of modern technology and the involvement of security, it is impossible to avoid a tragedy in a country saturated with weapons.
18 year old Salvador Romas. According to foreign publications, it was he who started the shooting at Uvald’s elementary school – 21 people died.

A heavily armed teenager opened fire at an elementary school in Texas, killing at least 21 people, including 19 children and two teachers, before being gunned down by law enforcement officers in one of the deadliest school massacres in US history.
The shooter, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, first shot his grandmother and then went to Robb Primary School in Uvalda with two machine guns.
The school massacre took place just two days before the end of the school year.
“It’s just evil,” Ray Chapa, whose nephew goes to a 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade school, told The New York Times. “I’m afraid I know many of these children who were killed. ”
In the US, school security regulations vary by state, with school districts responsible for security. Texas, where the latest shootings took place, formally operates the Uniform School Safety and Health Standards, which contains a set of criteria to help school districts develop and implement a comprehensive emergency response program. The standards are tied to the four phases of emergency management: mitigation/prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
However, despite all the declared measures, in reality it is difficult to prevent the tragedy. And the shooting, arranged on Tuesday by Salvador Romas, serves as proof of this.
The Uvalde Unified Independent School District (UCISD) in Texas has put in place a lot of security measures – but they didn’t stop the massacre at Robb’s elementary school.
The UCISD website reveals that the district has “advocates for curbing and/or eliminating” elements of “violence, vandalism, disorder and fear” in their schools in order to “provide a safe and secure environment for all. ” We are talking about four officers (the chief, a detective and two officers of the school district). Threat assessment teams operate in the district’s educational institutions, social media threats are monitored, motion sensors and alarm systems are installed; schools are being fenced around the perimeter, security vestibules are being installed, and surveillance cameras are being installed.
The district says it uses a service called Social Sentinel “to monitor all Uvalde-related social media as a measure to identify any potential threats that may be directed against students and/or school district employees.” The district also encouraged students, parents, staff, and community members to share “information of concern.”
But apparently, these measures were insufficient. The Uvalde shooter shared on social media photos of his rifles, which he bought on the occasion of his eighteenth birthday.
It is also reported that a suspect in a school shooting shortly before the massacre tagged a completely unfamiliar user in a photo with a weapon on the social network and wrote to her that he had a “little secret”. A social media user who doesn’t live in Texas asked why he tagged her in a photo of the rifles and said she was scared that he tagged her.
“You will repost my photos with weapons,” the young man wrote to the girl in a direct message on May 12.
In American schools, as gangs and drug trafficking have grown among other security threats, the presence of police in schools has increased in recent years. According to the National Center for Education Statistics in 2014, 43% of schools in the United States had special “school police officers” who were in educational institutions from once a week to full time.
“School resource officers” are law enforcement officers trained to work in educational institutions. Their duties include patrolling the school, maintaining discipline, identifying problems and mentoring at-risk students, controlling traffic, teaching law and liaising between schools and the police.
These “school cops” are often responsible for preventing students from becoming involved in gangs or criminal activities. Some of these employees are accompanied by dogs trained to detect drugs and bombs.
The FBI and the Secret Service, in conjunction with the US Department of Education, recommend that all schools form multidisciplinary threat assessment teams of educators, administrators, and “school police officers”.
Meanwhile, heated debate continues in the US about whether teachers and other school staff should carry guns. “Who better to protect our children than our teachers who love them?” Such a rhetorical question was asked in 2019 by then-President Trump, speaking before the National Rifle Association convention and declaring that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
There are schools in 14 US states where some teachers carry guns. In Ohio, teachers must complete a three-day training course before heading to class with weapons.
Nevertheless, opponents of teachers carrying weapons in schools point to dozens of cases of unintentional shootings in educational institutions. Sometimes such incidents end with at least bodily injury. So, in 2018, at a school in Seaside, California, a teacher accidentally shot in the classroom: as a result, a 17-year-old student received moderate injuries as a result of bullet fragments that ricocheted off the ceiling. In some cases, school security guards left a gun in the toilet where students found it.
Lamenting a “unique” American tragedy, as the Associated Press describes another school shooting in the United States, a frustrated and angry President Joe Biden urged new restrictions on firearms.
Joe Biden spoke from the White House on Tuesday evening just an hour after returning from a five-day tour of Asia. “When in the name of God are we going to confront the gun lobby?” Biden asked. “Why are we ready to live with this massacre? Why do we keep allowing this to happen?”
Just a week before, Biden traveled to Buffalo on the eve of his visits to South Korea and Japan to meet with families of victims after a racially hate shooter killed 10 blacks at a grocery store in New York State.

A new massacre in an educational institution shocked the United States. At least 19children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The shooter was an 18-year-old boy. While America is coping with another shock, new details of the tragedy are emerging.

On Tuesday, an 18-year-old opened fire at an elementary school in Texas, killing at least 19 children. The attacker moved from class to class, shooting students. Authorities said two adults were also among the dead. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said one of them was a teacher. According to media reports, Eva Mireles, who taught in the fourth grade, died.
The attacker was liquidated by law enforcement officers.
In the United States, the incident has already been called the deadliest school shooting in almost a decade since 20 children and six adults were killed in December 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The current tragedy unfolded at Robb Elementary School in the town of Uvalde, where a large number of Hispanics live. Uvalde, with a population of about 16 thousand people, is located about 120 km from the border with Mexico.
Before going to the school to kill, the suspect shot his own grandmother. The woman was hospitalized in critical condition, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Eric Estrada said.
The shooter, wearing a bulletproof vest, crashed his car in a ditch near a school before attempting to enter the premises.
A local resident who heard the sound of a car crash called 911, and two local police officers exchanged fire with the shooter.
The shooter managed to get inside the school, where he “entered several classrooms and started firing his firearms,” local authorities said.
Enforcers who arrived on the scene encountered gunfire: at least one Border Patrol agent was wounded by a shooter who had barricaded himself inside, according to the US Department of Homeland Security. Risking their own lives, these border guards and other officers stepped between the shooter and children at the scene to divert the shooter’s attention from potential victims and save their lives, authorities said.
One of the border guards reportedly broke into the school without waiting for reinforcements and shot and killed a militant hiding behind a barricade.
According to the Associated Press, children were taught by some border guard agents at the school that was attacked… he did on the occasion of his eighteenth birthday, say peers who knew him.
Weapon photo posted on social media: A photo of two AR15 type rifles appeared on a social media account associated with the shooter just three days before the attack.
A former classmate of school shooter Salvador Ramos said that a few days before the attack, the shooter sent him photos of the firearms he had and bags of ammunition.
“He texted me here and there, and four days ago he sent me a photo of the AR rifle he was using…and a backpack full of 5. 56 rounds, probably seven magazines.” “I’m like, ‘Bro, why are you doing this?’ and he’s like, ‘Don’t worry about it,'” the shooter’s friend said. “He started texting me: ‘Now I look completely different. You will not recognise me”.
According to a friend, Ramos was made fun of by other peers because of the clothes he wore and because of his family’s financial situation, and eventually he was seen less frequently in class.
“He didn’t, like, go to school… and just kind of dropped out of school,” says the shooter’s buddy. He said that after his own graduation from school, he talked less with Ramos.
According to Fox News, Salvador Ramos apparently told a certain woman over the Internet about his terrible plans.
A photo of two AR15 rifles appeared on a social media account linked to the suspected Uvalde shooter just three days before Tuesday’s massacre at Robb’s elementary school.
The photo was published as a story under the name “salv8dor_”. Several classmates confirmed that the account belonged to Salvador Ramos, a suspect in the shooting, who was shot dead by law enforcement officers.
Joe Biden reacted emotionally to the next shooting, calling on the Americans to “turn this pain into action.” The head of state addressed the nation from the White House, beginning his speech with the words: “I hoped that when I become president, I would not have to do it again.”
“Beautiful, innocent, second graders, third graders, fourth graders. And how many dozens of young children are witnessing what happened, seeing their friends die, as if they were on the battlefield, for God’s sake, ”Biden said.
The President said, “Losing a child is like tearing off a piece of your soul.” He said the feeling was “suffocating”.
“Where, in the name of God, is our support to have the courage to deal with and resist the lobby? The time has come to turn this pain into action, ”the US president said, openly alluding to the arms lobbyists who interfere with limiting the free circulation of weapons in the country.
There were more mass shootings in the US in 2022 than there were days this year: Tuesday, May 24, was the 144th day of the year. According to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, there were at least 212 mass shootings (shooting incidents in which four or more people were injured or killed, not including the shooter) in 2022.
The Uvalda tragedy was the deadliest school shooting in Texas history, and it added new casualties to the grim statistics in the Lone Star State. In 2018, a gunman shot and killed 10 people at Santa Fe High School in the Houston area. The year before, a Texas church shooter had killed more than two dozen people during a Sunday service in the small town of Sutherland Springs. In 201
, another gunman at a Walmart in El Paso killed 23 people in a racist attack on Hispanics.
The Uvalda shooting occurred just days before the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Houston. Texas Gov. Abbott and both Texas senators were among the elected Republican officials who were scheduled speakers at Friday’s Leadership Forum, sponsored by the lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association.
“The mass shootings have become an American copy-paste tragedy,” Politico’s Tyler Veyant wrote in the wake of the new shooting. – We are changing the place, the city, the number of killed and wounded. But invariably the number of lives lost, people who cannot be returned, and the nation remains in a daze.

Immigration to a quiet American state: rich, cheap Texas
0010
the central states of the north, so as not to radically change the view from the window
and south to forget what snow looks like forever.
And if the cheapness of life is important to you, it is better to go to the central-south region. It includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the administrative division. True, among them there are not the most prosperous. They meet all the stereotypes about “southerners”. For example, racial intolerance is still very strong in Louisiana, and this state is considered the center of social tension in the United States. Here live “red-necked” farmers, uneducated and rude. And the economy in Oklahoma, for example, is supported by oil production. Things are a little better in Arkansas, where there are good schools and a university. In addition, historically there are many visitors from Europe. However, the economic center of the region is undoubtedly Texas.
For those who have never been to the US, Texas still epitomizes only the country’s glorious cowboy past, with saloons, high boots, cacti and wild mustangs.
But the Americans have long since paid tribute to the potential of the state. Today it is on a par with California and New York. And, judging by the rate of economic and population growth, it threatens to overtake the former.
In terms of natural resources, this state is comparable to Siberia. So there is a lot of money here: in 2010, GDP amounted to $200 billion (in Russia it was only twice as much then). The lower cost of living and renting real estate attracts here not only people from all states, but also large companies. Only from California moved here 60 companies, including, for example, Toyota. Last February, Texas added 30,000 new jobs, while California lost 31,000 in January.
So those who still perceive Texas as the Deep South or the Wild West are 20-30 years behind the times. Now new houses are constantly being built in the state, downtowns are growing skyward, areas are being improved. So it’s better to go there as soon as possible, until the most convenient places are occupied by the Americans.
Immigration to a quiet American state: where to find a job?
The choice of the city in which you settle should depend on whether you can find work there. In Texas, there are good enough prospects for professionals in almost all areas. It is most logical for oilmen to go to Houston, since here large oil companies are engaged in processing and exporting “black gold”. In this city, engineers are also in demand, specializing in various fields: in mechanics, electrical, automation. There are not enough local specialists, so many positions are occupied by foreigners with a work visa. NASA’s Central Control Center is located in Houston, as well as The Boeing Company, which develops manned spacecraft. So there is an opportunity to find yourself in the field of space research. In terms of living comfort, a few years ago, Houston was one of the ten most affordable, but at the same time comfortable cities in the United States according to Forbes. And this despite the rather humid climate and the abundance of immigrants. By the way, more than half of the Russian-speaking residents of Texas live in this city.
Texas is a popular immigration destination for doctors. There are many medical institutions and research centers in this state. For example, in the city of San Antonio there is a large cancer center.
Programmers and IT professionals will find jobs in Texas even easier than in California’s Silicon Valley. In the state capital of Austin, there are representative offices of companies such as Oracle, eBay, NVidia, Zynga, Apple, PayPal, Polycom, and just to the north – IBM and Dell. No less rich in jobs for programmers and Dallas. Not far from it are the giants McAfee and Alcatel Lucent. Engineers will be able to get a job at Texas Instruments. Russian immigrants also note the demand for marketers and, in general, those whose profession is related to sales.
If you don’t hope to get a job, consider working for yourself. For several years now, Texas has been the leader in the ranking of states with the most favorable conditions for doing business.
Immigration to a quiet American state: where to settle in Texas?
People don’t live in megacities. This applies primarily to their center – downtown. If during the week these neighborhoods look like an anthill, then on weekends tumbleweed rolls through the streets, and crickets chirp in restaurants … Those who work in the center of Dallas and Houston usually live in the suburbs.
A big advantage of Texas compared to other states is low housing prices. A good house in Plano (middle-class suburb of Dallas) will cost at least half the price of the smallest house in California. And to use the garage as a pantry, and at the same time leave the car on the street, in Texas it would never occur to anyone. After all, the area of \u200b\u200bthe house and the plot is enough to put everything in its place. They buy houses very quickly, often the very next day after putting them up for sale. Now in Texas they began to actively acquire real estate, then to rent it out to newcomers.
Why is Texas so cheap?
Even if California pays nominally more than Texas, the West Coast residents have less in their hands. And all because Texas is one of the few states where there is no income tax. True, in fairness, it should be noted that this is offset by the municipal property tax. So if you want to live in a nice house and in a prestigious area, it won’t be cheap.
Education in Texas
Several affiliates of the University of Texas are among the top 100 universities in America, such as the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University at College Station, which is engaged in research in land use, ocean science and space science. As for schools, your child will go to the school that is attached to your area. Usually the school system works like this: if the state is liberal, then the public schools there are developed at the expense of taxes and usually give a good education. And in some conservative states, there are many private schools. This means only one thing – the public schools there are terrible. Although Texas is considered a conservative state, tax money is spent on schools and roads.
Who lives in the Lone Star State?
Nicknamed for its single white star flag, Texas has a large Hispanic and African American population. But usually they are concentrated in certain cities: for example, African Americans are the most in Houston. There are practically none in San Antonio, but 60% are Mexicans.
Is it hot in Texas?
What really puts you off is the local climate. But if you approach the choice of the city wisely, you can find a completely acceptable option. For example, it is hot everywhere in Texas, but near the ocean, this heat is also complemented by high humidity. For example, in Houston, for almost half a year, people live in dashes from home to car. But the farther from the coast, the air is drier, and life is more pleasant. For example, in Austin and Dallas, springs are very comfortable and very comfortable, and in winter you need to wear a jacket a maximum of 2-3 times.
Do not forget that the vast territory of the state is occupied by steppes. There are very few forests here, mostly they are compensated by arboretums, which are occupied by newlyweds celebrating their weddings. In the north and east of the state, nature is more diverse, in addition, it is easier to get anywhere by car from there.

FAQs
AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Goldenrod Road KinderCare Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.
Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.
Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
My son has been attending this KinderCare since he was three months old. He is now three, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. It is obvious that each teacher he’s with really cares and loves him. He is learning so much more than I expected he would be able to, and when we are out on the weekends at the park or store other parents comment on how smart he is. It feels good to know I made the right choice for my son and my family.
Alejandro L. – KinderCare Parent
My daughter has been attending KinderCare Goldenrod within the Toddler class for the last eight months. I am absolutely pleased with the staff and teachers at this location. From the first few weeks of her being enrolled I have seen tremendous growth with her learning, curiosity, social interaction and so much more. I am excited to see what the Discovery Preschool class has for her in the next few months. The staff and teachers are friendly and caring. I enjoy the fact that the facility is not huge and all of the children and teachers knows everyone’s name. If it is possible, my daughter, as well as any other children we may have in the future, would not leave this facility until they are ready to go to Kindergarten.

Kindercare is a breath of fresh air compared to the La Petite I was at previously where I felt my child was unsafe and the kids were not being taught they were just being watched if that.. The bathrooms smelled awful and the teachers couldn’t be called teachers they were babysitters.
Well not here at Kindercare. My little one is taught a school based curriculum and the school is tidy and orderly. Upon pickup you see the children are quietly playing . There are not running a muck and disorderly when you come to pick them up. I appreciate the calendar that shows all my kid is doing for the month and there’s actual evidence of work being done (unlike my previous experience). My son loves his teachers.. You can tell Their experience, loving and caring. Ms Jessica the school director is Kind and will actually call you to see how you feel your child is doing in the school. I feel my little one is safe.. He loves the playground and all the activities. Im actually paying a little more here but will gladly do so if my child is being protected and educated. Thanks ladies for your hard work.

I have been a Kindercare parent at this location since my daughter was 6 weeks old she’s now 6 years old and I have a son that is almost a year that started at 6 weeks of age as well. I joined the Kindercare family because of the teachers and administrative team and have stayed with them ever since even though we have moved a few times. I will drive to know my children will be cared for by loving and compassionate individuals. The entire staff take child education and safety very seriously. They encourage development at the pace of the child. ALL of the teachers are excellent. Miss Jessica and Miss Neriah are always visible and take time to know and understand tiny details about every family. I commend these individuals for shaping our children for their future. Love my Kindercare Goldenrod family

Goldenrod in the garden: which one to plant and which one to destroy mercilessly?
Have you seen this lush yellow beauty in wastelands and forest edges that blooms at the end of summer? A plant with panicles of flowers similar to mimosa or astilba, and in the form of foliage resembling a willow. This is the goldenrod, or the golden rod. And opinions about whether it is useful or dangerous are controversial and contradictory. Let’s figure it out together.
Recently, agronomists and scientists have sounded the alarm: they put goldenrod (or solidago) on a par with a dangerous invader plant – Sosnowsky’s hogweed. The “career paths” of these two aggressors are largely similar. The only difference is that the cow parsnip was brought to the territory of Russia as a fodder silage crop, and the golden rod ended up on our lands solely because of its seductive beauty and unpretentiousness.
In both cases, the decision to cultivate these plants was a mistake, but by the time it became obvious, the control over the plantings of “aliens” was lost, they acclimatized, ran wild and began to actively explore more and more new lands.
Today it is difficult to find a place where this bright aggressor would not grow. Moreover, many gardeners plant goldenrod on their plots, because. heard about its medicinal properties. And this, by the way, is true: the roots, leaves and inflorescences of this plant are used in folk medicine and pharmaceuticals for the manufacture of anti-inflammatory, healing, antiseptic and other medicines. Which only exacerbates the confusion: so what kind of plant is this – to be friends with him or to fight? So let’s figure it out together – first and in order.
Is goldenrod a malicious invader or a cultivated species?
Goldenrod (Solidago) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, or Asteraceae, that lives on almost all continents of the Earth. The genus includes more than 100 species, and about 20 of them are cultivated as garden, ornamental or medicinal plants. Representatives of the genus can be found in America, Europe, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean region. On the territory of Russia, goldenrod is most common in the Caucasus and the Far East, as well as in Western Siberia.
Goldenrod came to Europe (to the British Royal Botanic Gardens) from North America in the 18th century. It is known that two of its species – giant and Canadian – were cultivated as ornamental plants. Much has changed since then – today the genus of goldenrods has been divided into two parts: some species are recognized as invasive and are included in the Black Book of the Flora of Central Russia, while others are bred specifically as ornamental perennials for growing in household plots.
Aggressive goldenrod species: mow it down immediately!
Of course, goldenrod is not as dangerous to human health as hogweed (at least it does not cause burns and severe allergies), but the negative consequences of its presence are no less noticeable. The fact is that this plant is able not only to multiply rapidly, increasing its range by 15-20% annually. It still crowds out other representatives of the flora that live in the neighborhood.
Goldenrod is able to populate empty lands in one season
Goldenrod roots secrete special substances – inhibitors that inhibit the development of other plants. From the fields, he “survives” perennial cereals, from the forest – mushrooms and berries. Meadows and wastelands, where the goldenrod plantation has appeared, cannot be used either as pastures or for hayfields, because. its leaves and stems are not suitable for animal food.
Having captured the territory, the golden rod completely changes the flora and fauna. And besides, it negatively affects the soil: under the influence of the root system, the structure of the soil changes – it becomes airtight and dense. Thus, goldenrod causes considerable damage to forest and farmland.
Agronomists and scientists are most concerned about the following species.
Common goldenrod
Common goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea) has a second name – European, and it is also traditionally called the golden rod for the shape of the stems, similar to twigs. It occurs in well-lit forests, on edges and clearings, along roadsides, prefers light sandy and sandy loamy soils. Inflorescences are erect, elongated racemose.
There are several subspecies of this plant, which are sometimes considered as separate (narrow-leaved, Crimean, Lapland), as well as cultivars: variegated Variegata and Paleface with cream-colored inflorescences.
Common goldenrod is used as a medicinal raw material in official and folk medicine, it is an excellent honey plant and is not considered an invasive species. However, it is inedible for animals.
Canadian goldenrod
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is the same plant native to North America, which was the first to enter Russia and spread widely due to its amazing vitality and fertility. Propagated by seed and vegetative methods. One plant can produce up to 100 thousand seeds, of which 95% will sprout.
This aggressive invader can grow in full sun or partial shade, reaching a height of 2m. Prefers well-moistened fertile loamy soil, but does not tolerate stagnant water. It has high frost resistance. Listed in the Black Book of Flora of Central Russia.
In medicine, Canadian goldenrod leaves are used to make diuretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. And in floriculture, surprisingly, many cultivated species and varieties are derived from it (for example, undersized Patio and bright fluffy Golden Glory ).
Giant goldenrod or late
Giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea) – “comrade and brother” of the Canadian. Both of them were “pioneers” in the development of European territories, and both are recognized as invasive species and are included in the Black Book.
The appearance of this tall (up to 2.5 m) perennial may vary depending on the area of growth – it is easy to meet in meadows and copses, on roadsides and in light coniferous-deciduous forests. Often this species is confused with the Canadian goldenrod, but the difference between the plants is that the giant is practically unable to reproduce by seeds during self-pollination. He has only one way of reproduction – vegetative, but this does not prevent the species from quickly populating new areas with the help of a long rhizome.
Hairy goldenrod is considered a subspecies of the common one and also belongs to medicinal plants.
The main thing that you and I need to remember is that it doesn’t really matter what kind of goldenrod you find in a vacant lot, on the side of the road, or on your own lawn. If he settled there by self-sowing, this is an aggressor! And it is important to get rid of this “neighbor” in time (as soon as possible) – otherwise it will save you from cultivated plantings in the garden.
How to get rid of goldenrod in the area
If you have not had time to get to know this plant properly, consider yourself lucky and be vigilant. When the first suspicious yellow panicles appear in the vicinity of the house or cottage, do not give them a single chance – cut by hand or mow the above-ground part without delay. It is advisable to have time to do this before the seeds ripen on the inflorescences (approximately until the end of July).
The cut parts of goldenrod should ideally be burned. If you leave them to dry, compost them, or use them as mulch, there is a high risk that at least partially matured seeds will fall into the soil, and the struggle will be endless.
Of course, the struggle will continue anyway, because the rhizomes will sprout new shoots and “assert their rights”, but by eliminating any possibility of seeding plants, you will increase the chances of success.
Overgrown young shoots will need to be mowed several more times before the end of summer – as they grow to a height of 15-20 cm. Systematic removal of the green part will weaken the plants, and after 3-5 years you will be able to get rid of the goldenrod completely.
Plowing an overgrown field or wasteland will help speed up the process of extermination of a dangerous weed. It’s the so-called mechanical way to fight with goldenrod. Throughout the growing season, starting in June, repeated deep plowing is carried out, choosing periods of dry weather for this. Depending on the size of the population, getting rid of the golden rod will take from one to three years.
It is better to treat goldenrod thickets with herbicides at the beginning of the growing season
0085 chemical . The optimal solution is to treat weed thickets with any herbicide of continuous action (for example, based on glyphosate – GlyBest Grand, VDG (ver.2), Chistogryad, Roundup). In this case, the best result will be given by spraying with a herbicide at the beginning of the growing season, until the young plants have exceeded a height of 15-20 cm.
followed by overseeding of perennial grasses.
“Cultural” goldenrod: does it happen?
If you like risk and are not afraid of hard physical labor (and without it you won’t be able to get the goldenrod out of the area), then you can try to plant one of the cultivated species of this plant in your country house. It can be one of the garden forms of the common goldenrod ( Variegata or Paleface ) or Canadian cultivars ( Patio , Golden Glory , Little Miss Sunshine ). But the safest and “decently behaving” is still considered the hybrid goldenrod.
Hybrid goldenrod
The progenitor of the hybrid (Solidago hybrida) is Canadian goldenrod, but, unlike the original species, the cultivated “descendant” is not so aggressive in nature and does not have medicinal properties. But it is highly decorative and has a wide variety of varieties.
Perhaps the most popular hybrid goldenrod variety Dzintra is a densely leafy shrub up to 60 cm high with lush golden yellow inflorescences. It grows strong, does not require a garter, with the timely removal of wilted panicles, it blooms from July until autumn.
Among the varieties of this species, often grown by amateur growers, there are also compact Golden Dwarf, Perkeo, Laurin and tall Pillare, Goldtanne, Fireworks, Strahlenkrone . Any of these plants can please you with bright panicles, unpretentious disposition and frost resistance. In addition, goldenrod inflorescences look great in bouquets with autumn flowers – asters, dahlias – and can stand for a long time in the cut.
Every gardener decides whether or not to plant a golden rod on his plot – it is important to do this consciously and be aware of the possible consequences. And what to do with the goldenrod, which settled in the garden without your consent – you already know.
Giant goldenrod ( Solidago gigantea Aiton ) in its natural habitat occurs in the USA and southern Canada. It was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant in the 18th century. The place of introduction was the Royal Botanic Gardens (UK), where goldenrod was brought in 1758 (Weber 1998). In the first half of the 19th century, the plant was discovered in France, and half a century later this species already grew in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and at the end of the 19th century it was found in Central Europe. At that time, the giant goldenrod was spreading across Europe at a rate of about 910 km per year. On the territory of modern Poland and Belarus, goldenrod appeared on household plots in the 1850s, and from the 1940s it began to spread along river valleys and on forest edges.
Species danger
Giant goldenrod is an invasive species that has perfectly acclimatized in our conditions, exerting strong negative pressure on native species, displacing them from phytocenoses.
In terms of environmental hazard, Canadian goldenrod is superior to Sosnowski’s hogweed. All goldenrod species are included in the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) Invasive Species List, which lists alien species that cause serious damage to native plants, the environment and biological diversity in general.
Goldenrods quickly establish themselves in meadows, pastures, pastures, reclaimed swamps, wastelands. In the meadow and floodplain ecosystems where goldenrod settles, the composition and structure of haylands is changing, the quality of hay harvested (as animal feed) is significantly deteriorating, the structure and process of soil aeration is changing. In floodplain meadow communities, goldenrod damages populations of many rare and endangered plant species. Another threat is the colonization of forests by goldenrod, where it spreads along the edges and clearings.
In recent years in Poland, goldenrod has been fixed on arable land as a weed, mainly in corn crops (Pużyńska i wsp., 2012). In Switzerland, it has also been found in cultivated fields (Bohren, 2011). Given the high adaptability of the species to environmental conditions, experts do not exclude more frequent cases of the appearance of goldenrod in cultivated crops. A similar situation occurred with sagebrush ( Artemisia vulgasis ), which was a typical ruderal weed but well adapted to arable land (Gołębiowska, 2014).

Canadian goldenrod (height 80-140 cm)
For agricultural land, goldenrod is a dangerous weed because its seeds are dispersed by wind over long distances. Sprouting and spreading in meadows and fields, Canadian goldenrod hinders the growth of agricultural crops and forage grasses, disrupting the sowing structure and reducing their yield.
Technogenically disturbed landscapes can act as a kind of springboard for the further spread of goldenrods. It is assumed that Canadian goldenrod is the causative agent of hay fever, can contribute to the development of diseases of cereal crops, is poorly eaten by domestic animals, and produces substances that inhibit the growth of other plants. In addition, goldenrod pollen is dangerous for some people because it can exhibit allergenic properties.
Factors of rapid spread
Successful development of a new area distribution is possible due to the high tolerance of this species to habitat conditions, intensive growth, production of a large number of light seeds, easy vegetative propagation, and the presence of allelopathic mechanisms. Over time, the rhizomes begin to release toxic substances into the soil that inhibit the growth of other plants.
Ecological features that allow goldenrods to multiply rapidly and persist as a species include the following:
high competitiveness, fast growth, ability to grow crowded and crowd out other plants;
high fecundity allowing one plant to initiate biological invasion. On one plant, 5-20 thousand seeds with high germination are formed annually, the expansion rate of goldenrod reaches several tens of hectares per year;
very high percentage of germinating seeds, regardless of where these seeds matured;
seed dispersal by wind.
The rapid spread is also accompanied by the absence of serious natural enemies from among plants-competitors and insects. In its natural habitat, giant goldenrod is severely damaged by aphids, as well as other pests: fly Eurosta solidaginis , gall midges, midge larvae Rhopalomyia ssp. , beetle larvae Trirhabda ssp. , which control the distribution of this species. But in the secondary range, this species of pests is practically not observed. The distribution of Canadian goldenrod in its natural range is under biological control, since herbivores influence the distribution of biomass. In Europe and our country, the influence of herbivores is small. Snails and small rodents occasionally feed on the stems and leaves of the species. In Switzerland, 18 phytophagous insects are known to feed on this species.
Thanks to human activities that accelerate the spread of seeds, Canadian and giant goldenrods are capable of rapid biological invasion, populating more and more new territories.

Giant goldenrod (height up to 250 cm)
Giant goldenrod develops new areas through generative reproduction. Although one plant can produce up to 19,000 seeds, only a few produce new plants (Voser-Huber, 1983; Weber and Jakobs, 2005). In the first years in a new place, the giant goldenrod does not pose a big threat, as it is found in single specimens. But over time, this species quickly expands colonization. On fallow lands, goldenrod reproduces mainly vegetatively, constantly increasing the number of plants. In developed areas, there can be up to 167 shoots of giant goldenrod per square meter, and the plant is able to expand its coverage area from several square meters to 5 hectares in a short time (Jacobs et al. , 2004).
In the 3rd-4th year of settlement, goldenrod produces 1.12 t/ha of above-ground shoots and 3 t/ha of roots and rhizomes. After 6 years and beyond, the biomass of aboveground shoots of plants already averages 3.55 t/ha, and rhizomes and roots – 9.55 t/ha.
According to Polish researchers, in 3 years this species can occupy over 25% of the new territory, in the 4th year – 50% and prevail here after 6-7 years. A related species – Canadian goldenrod covers a new area by 25-50% in 3-4 years, by 75-100% – in 6-8 years (Skrajna et al., 2012).
SEE ALSO: An interactive monitoring system for hogweed was launched in the Vologda Oblast
larger areas and pose a threat to natural agrocenoses (Mei et al. 2006). The results of these studies served as an impetus for the development of chemical methods to reduce the spread of various types of goldenrod in unused agricultural land. The study included a wide range of herbicides, the best of which were metsulfuron-methyl, sulfometuron-methyl, imazapyr, azasulfuron and chlorsulfuron with an efficiency of 97-100%. Plant regrowth has also been observed in China after the application of certain herbicides containing glyphosate, fluroxypyr, MCPA, bentazone, and oxyuorfen (Guohui et al., 2005; Yuan, 2008).
Studies in Poland show that invasive species are weeds that are difficult to remove from fallows even with non-selective herbicides (Domaradzki and Badowski, 2012; Rzymowska et al., 2015). In addition, they also pose a serious problem in areas under or in close proximity to various forms of protection (Otręba and Michalska-Hejduk, 2014; Krzysztofak and Krzysztofak, 2015). The best results in the elimination of goldenrod from fallow lands (fallow) were shown by the use of a herbicide containing a mixture of three active ingredients: triclopyr, fluroxypyr and clopyralid.
Countries where goldenrods grow are advised to take measures to prevent their further introduction and spread.

Canadian goldenrod
Mowed goldenrod plants should not be left (must be disposed of – burned or composted). It is impossible to mow goldenrods at the time of shedding seeds from plants.
How to deal with goldenrods
Depending on the area occupied by plants, the density of their growth, the degree of threat to the life and health of citizens, the environment, the number of places where they grow, various methods are used to regulate the distribution and number of Canadian and giant goldenrods.
Manual cutting of plants with further removal in the first half of July in the budding phase – the beginning of flowering of Canadian goldenrod. It gives a good effect for small populations and leads to the complete disappearance of the indicated species from the herbage within 3-5 years.
Mowing plants along roadsides, in areas under forest plantations, ditches, in personal plots, in parks should be carried out as the plant grows up to 15-20 cm at least 3 times per season, starting from spring until flowering and seed maturation. An alternative may be a single mowing in the second half of August until the seeds ripen. In this case, the cut plants must be disposed of – burned or composted to prevent the seeds from ripening on the cut stems.

Hybrid goldenrod
The mechanical method consists in repeated mowing of goldenrod thickets by plowing. It should be remembered that mowing goldenrod populations once a year does not significantly reduce the density of shoots, but provokes the opposite effect – an increase in population density the next year.
It is advisable to carry out deep plowing during the growing season in dry weather conditions. The first plowing is carried out in June. For the complete destruction of all goldenrod plants, plowing will need to be carried out for several years, depending on the contamination of the fields with seeds.
Chemical method. A big problem is the removal of goldenrod from the ground cover of tree plantations and shrubs, under the canopy of which it easily penetrates and, in addition to extensive populations, forms local clumps, creating a reserve fund of invasion. Here the most convenient chemical treatment.
The chemical method is based on the use of continuous herbicides that cause plant death (glyphosate, tornado, roundup, hurricane forte, grader, snowstorm, thunderstorm, magnum, glyph, terssan). They are used up to a plant height of 15 cm.
However, the use of herbicides is not possible everywhere: they are prohibited on the lands of nature conservation, recreational, historical and cultural purposes, within the boundaries of wildlife preserves and natural monuments. In this case, a complex of agrotechnical measures is used, including weeding, deep plowing, covering materials, as well as other control methods.

Canadian goldenrod
Where the goldenrod occupies a large area, plowing with overseeding of perennial grasses – cocksfoot, perennial ryegrass, etc.
Control measures for goldenrods should not be limited to any one method. The best results are obtained by a combined method based on the use of various methods: for example, mowing before budding, and after mowing – treatment with herbicides, plowing in early June and August, followed by removal of rhizomes and sowing of perennial grasses.
Responsibility for non-compliance with measures to regulate the distribution and abundance of Canadian and giant goldenrods. Belarus provides for the liability of legal entities and citizens for violating the legislation of the Republic of Belarus on the protection and use of flora. Users of land plots or water bodies are obliged to carry out work to regulate the distribution and abundance of these plants in cases and in the manner established by the legislation of the Republic of Belarus.
Based on the approved district plans to regulate the distribution and abundance of Canadian goldenrod and giant goldenrod, authorized officials of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, prior to the start of activities, send requests to land users containing a list of places and areas of growth of these plant species, as well as ways to deal with them, including technology and timing of their implementation.

News of the district
September 6, 2019
The problem of the spread of invasive species of both animals and plants in our country is aggravated every year. Canadian goldenrod, a culture comparable in terms of danger to Sosnovsky’s hogweed and the Colorado potato beetle, is rapidly conquering Belarus.
Undesirable neighborhood
Long stems decorated with yellow tassels can also be found on the territory of our district – in meadows, near administrative buildings, on plots of horticultural associations and garage cooperatives, on house plots. You don’t have to go far for an example. Until recently, a small flower garden, laid out by the residents themselves near the house number 1 on Nazarenko Street in the district center, was decorated with Canadian goldenrod. Alas, few people know about the danger of a beautiful, at first glance, plant. – One of the main qualities that makes people choose this plant is the absence of weeds next to it, – says Marina Novakovich, head of the regional inspection of natural resources and environmental protection. – He simply survives the plants that are next to him. It is this feature of Canadian goldenrod that is the reason why it is included in the list of invasive crops. Canadian goldenrod causes great damage not only to nature, but also to forestry and agriculture. Its roots produce inhibitors – substances that prevent the growth of other plants. Where it settles, the composition and structure of the soil changes, aeration worsens, the earth becomes solid, and as a result, many valuable plants are not able to grow in this place. Following this, most meadow insects, birds, and small mammals disappear. – If the goldenrod “settles” in the forests, it will be problematic to remove it, – says Marina Novakovich. “A forest is a place where chemical treatment cannot be used and plowing of the land becomes impossible, which will lead to the loss of natural vegetation and negatively affect the nutrition of animals. Each bush of goldenrod produces up to 100 thousand seeds, which have a high germination rate (up to 95% take root). Mature seeds serve as a source of plant distribution over long distances, and morphological and physiological features contribute to germination in the most seemingly inappropriate places. In our country, the Canadian goldenrod does not meet “enemies” that could harm it in any way.
The main thing is not to be late
With some effort, the situation can be kept under control, emphasizes Marina Novaković. Unlike Sosnowski’s hogweed, goldenrod can be stopped mechanically. The main thing is not to be late and respond in time to the centers of invasive culture germination. The fight against the plant consists in periodically mowing its ground part: 3-4 times per season (from May to the end of August) as it grows up to 15-20 cm. Or you can mow it once in the second half of August until the seeds ripen. If flowers are present, the cut grass must be burned to prevent the spread of seeds, which have the ability to ripen even when cut. Where goldenrod occupies large areas, it will be effective to plow them up and sow perennial grasses. Chemical and mechanical methods can be used together. So, having sprayed a harmful shrub in a couple of weeks, it must be mowed and disposed of, while plowing the land. In order not to harm nature, the district inspection urges citizens not to grow Canadian goldenrod in home gardens and summer cottages, but to take measures to destroy it as soon as possible. In order to carry out explanatory work with people in the region, mobile groups were created, whose members carried out extensive information and explanatory work with the population – they told about the danger posed by goldenrod. They met with the heads of enterprises and organizations in whose territories an invasive culture was identified, and issued instructions for its destruction. It should be noted that failure to take measures to eliminate violations entails a fine of up to 20 basic units in accordance with Article 23.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus
What do Senno people know about Canadian goldenrod?
Nina Ivanovna , summer resident: — It is dangerous and has no special medicinal properties. I also try to convince my neighbor in the country, who grows goldenrod as an ornamental plant, how dangerous it is for the soil. And its seeds are carried by the wind throughout the village. Anna Grigorievna , pensioner: – Goldenrod is also called “fox tail” because of the color of this plant. It looks beautiful, but, as we have already seen, this is a real invader. Unfortunately, on my personal plot for the fourth year I can not remove this weed.

Goldenrod: what kind of plant?
Goldenrod came to us from the North American continent at the end of the 19th century.
At the very beginning of its approval in Europe, only two species were known: giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea) and Canadian goldenrod .
At first, these objects of the Asteraceae family were perceived as decorative, but later they lost their domestication, became wild and adapted to different continents.
There are about 100 species of goldenrod in the genus, with distribution areas in America, Europe, the Mediterranean, and Scandinavia. On our territory, its largest areas are in the Caucasus, Western Siberia and the Central Asian countries. It is not rare in the Far East region either.
At present, goldenrod is a widespread ornamental shrub with a herbaceous stem, habitually taking its place along roadsides, in urban flower arrangements, in flower beds in yards and gardens
Feral goldenrod grows freely in almost any place, whether it be meadows, roadsides or well-lit coniferous-deciduous forests.
Varieties and species of goldenrod
The following types of goldenrod are best known and widespread:
Canadian goldenrod
Native to North America.
Very tall, about 2 m, perennial.
The most commonly cultivated species.
Patio variety is one of the many breeders bred. It differs from its progenitor: low, does not need supports and tying. It goes well with other floral specimens, both in flower beds and in bouquets. In well-lit drained areas, it will annually delight with its lush color.

Supreme goldenrod
It has long been known as an independent species, but now it has been approved as a subspecies of the Canadian relative.
Most often found along roadsides, meadows and open forest areas.
Avoids shady areas.
Blooms for a long time: August-October.
Unlike other species, it has a pubescent stem and one-sided inflorescences of smallish lemon-yellow flowers, which is very attractive to bees, wasps and even flies. One of the first began to be cultivated in garden culture.
Wrinkled goldenrod
Occupies moist areas everywhere. Blooms in September.
Characteristic features:
reddish-brown shoots,
medium-sized yellow flower heads,
inflorescences of a drooping appearance in the form of arched spikes.
Dahurian goldenrod
Our “compatriot”, originally from Siberia.
Grows up to 1 m.
Common goldenrod
It is also known under another name – a golden rod, for a rod-shaped, resembling a rod, kind of stems. Under this designation, this species is used by knowledgeable herbalists.
Occurs everywhere in open forests, slopes with a predominance of sandy soils.
In the likeness of the plant itself, the inflorescences have an elongated racemose upright shape.
Wonderful honey plant and pergonos.
Completely ignored by pets.
Has not found much use in official medicine, with the exception of Phytolysin and Cystium. In folk medicine, it is used versatile: as an anti-inflammatory, wound healing, homeopathic remedy.

Hybrid goldenrod
The most preferred type of amateur flower growers and breeders. Got its origin from the Canadian type. There is a wide variety of varieties of different heights (from 30 cm to 2 m), inflorescence forms, flowering periods.
Most popular varieties:
Golden Dwarf,
Golden Mosa,
Goldstrahl,
Kronenstrahl,
Golden Gate.
It is very successfully selected at the Higher School of Horticulture near Stuttgart. About 20 varieties are tested there every year.
One of the achievements of flower growers is the creation of a hybrid of goldenrod with aster – solidaster, characterized by large flowers and powerful inflorescence

Cultivation of goldenrod
Solidago is cultivated as a perennial plant. It grows from 0.5 m to 2 m in height, depending on species, varietal characteristics and environmental conditions. Its most prominent organ is the inflorescences-baskets, the groups of which are brushes or racemose panicles.
Place for landing
Solidago grows well in partial shade, although it prefers sunny places.
Does well in well-drained areas.
However, it often occupies heavier soils.
Planting dates
In the first year or two, the bushes bloom depending on the timing of transplantation.
The best landing dates are the first half of May .
Plants transplanted earlier will produce color much later.
Propagation
Propagated mainly by bush division and offspring, rarely by cuttings and seeds.
Goldenrod seeds have the ability to ripen seeds even in mowed plants.
Achenes are small with a tuft, thanks to which they are easily transported over long distances, where they germinate, forming new shrub colonies.
Mowed or uprooted plants should be immediately placed in the compost heap, chopped into pieces to prevent infestation with goldenrod
Care
With careful care, goldenrod can occupy a permanent place on the site for 10 years or more.
An annual spring mineral top dressing is required.
Remove any weakened or damaged shoots in the spring to ensure full development of the remaining ones.
With strong growth, the bushes are divided every 3 years and planted or removed.
Before winter, it is better to make a complete pruning of the ground part.

Goldenrod as an ornamental plant
The main advantage of goldenrod is its decorative effect.
Blooms from July until the end of October, adorning everything around with its sunlight. Flowering is very long.
When you get close, you can catch the faint scent of flowers that attract bees.
In winter, solidago plants remain as dried flowers for a long time.
Solidago looks great in group flower or bush plantings, standing out with its grace, and in the form of hedges, and just ordinary thickets.

Goldenrod as a medicinal plant
Goldenrod has found quite a wide use in folk healing. It was mentioned in herbal books as early as the 16th century. Valued for its good honey properties.
Goldenrod – medicinal herb
The most popular use of solidago herb in diseases:0182
tuberculosis,
genitourinary system,
disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and metabolism.
In addition, the analgesic, wound healing and antibacterial properties of goldenrod have been discovered. It is one of the components of the domestic drug “Prostanorm”, “Fitolizin” and the German “Cystium solidago”.
Goldenrod – honey plant
Goldenrod is famous as one of the most effective natural nectars.
Due to the subtle aroma of flowers and brightly colored inflorescences, solidago is considered a good honey plant.
Beekeepers, whose apiaries are occupied by golden solidago bushes, receive honey of the same name, famous for its irreplaceable useful qualities.

How to properly prepare medicinal raw materials of goldenrod
For medicinal preparations, goldenrod is harvested during flowering: they ripen easily and form seeds even when plucked, losing their medicinal properties.
Harvested florets should be carefully washed, collected in small bunches and laid out or hung to dry in a shady place protected from sunlight.
Only fresh flowers are suitable for making homeopathic remedies. Sometimes other organs of the plant are also used for medicinal purposes: roots and stem.
Need to know!
Only natural types of goldenrod have healing properties:
Canadian,
highest,
wrinkled,
ordinary.
Hybrid varieties are only ornamental.

Goldenrod as a weed
You should know that this herbaceous shrub can cause great harm to summer cottages.
The fact is that the goldenrod is a stranger, i.e. a species that came to us from the distant American continent, and not so long ago. Foreignness, the absence of competing plants and pests allows solidago to quickly spread and populate new territories.
Each goldenrod plant contains about 100,000 seeds with the highest germination and viability. They are easily transported over long distances.0003
Why is goldenrod harmful?
An important factor in the harmfulness of goldenrod is the presence of inhibitors in its roots . They strongly suppress the growth of other plants, up to their complete death.
In places where the goldenrod settled, you can expect the disappearance of forest – chamomile, sweet clover, cornflower – and various horticultural crops. Not even shrubs are kept.
The number of microorganisms, insects, and therefore birds and mammals is sharply reduced, given the toxicity of this plant. The golden shrub was not to the taste of all domestic herbivores.
The mass distribution of goldenrod leads to a deterioration in the quality of grass in meadows, pastures and hayfields, the composition and structure of the soil may change, and its aeration worsens.

How to get rid of goldenrod?
This type of plant is so tenacious that it is not always amenable to destruction even with large doses of modern herbicides. Moreover, the use of pesticides is unacceptable near settlements and along river banks.
In many countries, goldenrod is included in the list of quarantine objects that pose a serious threat not only to biodiversity, but also to human health.
In China, goldenrod is a real national disaster.
Control methods
If goldenrod has already appeared:
Mow 3-4 times per season before seed ripening when plants grow up to 15-20 cm. All mowed grass mass should be composted without delay.
A good effect is achieved by digging (plowing) the area with the onset of summer with the simultaneous removal of rhizomes.
In small areas, soil mulching with any material is effective.
Prevention
In order to avoid harm to your site and the areas around you, you should carefully approach the placement of goldenrod in your area.
Thin out bushes regularly by cutting and destroying excess. Do this until the seeds ripen.
Do not leave thickets unattended.
Grow hybrid cultivars that are limited in growth and devoid of toxic substances.

Niedereder’s goldenrod • Sergey Lysenkov • Scientific Picture of the Day on Elements • Botany
This photo, taken in the city of Aleksin, Tula Region, shows the Niedereder goldenrod ( Solidago ×niederederi ), a hybrid species that arose from the crossing of the European common goldenrod ( S. virgaurea ) and Canadian goldenrod ( S. canadensis ) introduced from North America. According to its morphological features (height, size of inflorescences, etc.), the Niedereder goldenrod occupies an intermediate position between the parental species.
Two species of goldenrod, Canadian and giant ( S. gigantea ), were brought to Europe from North America for ornamental purposes as early as 1645 and 1758, respectively. Already in the 19th century, they began to run wild, and this process went especially fast in the 20th century. In the European part of Russia, the active settlement of abandoned fields by goldenrods began in 9The 0s of the last century – and now their yellow thickets stretching over vast expanses have become a familiar sight in August and September. Probably, not everyone thinks that a few decades ago these plants were practically non-existent here.
Spreading panicles of goldenrods are dotted with small yellow – no, not flowers, but baskets, already consisting of individual, almost microscopic flowers. The genus Solidago includes several hundred species, the center of its diversity is North America. In the native flora of Europe, however, there is also a species of its own – the common goldenrod. It is quite different from alien species: its baskets are much larger, the inflorescence practically does not branch.
But the species diversity of goldenrods in Europe is not limited to this, since “aliens” can produce hybrids with natives. The fact is that the selection that exists in nature against the formation of hybrids (see Reinforcement) acts only in relation to cohabiting species – but when confronted with previously unfamiliar forms, these mechanisms can fail. The founder of invasive biology, the English ecologist Charles Elton, wrote about the increase in hybridogenic activity in the secondary range (that is, in the territory occupied by the species while expanding the living space it occupies).
The first hybrid of the Canadian and common goldenrod was described by the Czech botanist Eugen Johan Khek living in Vienna in 1905. Unusual specimens with clearly intermediate characters, sent to him by the Austrian schoolteacher Franz Niedereder, were isolated by Kheck into a separate hybrid species, which he named Niedereder’s goldenrod ( S. ×niederederi ) after the material collector. The next discovery had to wait half a century – only in 1955, another specimen was found in Norway. Since the 1980s, the number of sightings began to grow rapidly, and now, with almost half a thousand known finds, the exponent shows no signs of slowing down. Moreover, these five hundred cases, which were summarized in a recent article by Czech and Slovak botanists, are not only mentioned in scientific papers, but also found in online databases of nature observations (primarily iNaturalist). For a species with a pan-European range, this is not so many finds.
It is worth noting that although the species was described solely by morphology, in 2016 Polish researchers proved the hybrid nature of the Niedereder goldenrod using molecular genetics methods.
Despite the growing number of sightings, this species is still considered rare: what is half a thousand sightings for the whole of Europe?! Most of the finds so far are in Sweden, Poland, Austria and Germany. Most often, only one plant is found, and only in three cases have more than ten individuals been found in one place. All this suggests that the Niedereder goldenrod may be spreading across Europe, but it still remains a very rare plant.
Another invasive species, the giant goldenrod, can also interbreed with the native one – the hybrid was described in 2016 as Snarskis goldenrod ( S. × snarskisii ) based on materials from Lithuania, in honor of Vilnius University professor Povilas Snarskis, who made a significant contribution in the study of Lithuanian flora. Now this species is also found in Poland and Russia, but the number of its findings is still extremely small. The main difference between this hybrid and Niedereder’s goldenrod is a bare rather than pubescent stem (invasive “parents” differ in the same way: the giant goldenrod has a bare stem, while the Canadian one has a pubescent one). The genetically hybrid status of the Snarskis goldenrod has been confirmed by Russian researchers, but according to their data, many of the individuals that look similar to this species may be the ecological form of the common goldenrod.
In Russia, Niedereder’s goldenrod was seen only in a few regions (and almost always these are, again, single finds). Genetic studies have confirmed the hybrid status of the individuals found with an intermediate morphology – sometimes they are directly hybrids of the Canadian and common goldenrod, sometimes they are backcrosses, that is, the result of crossing a hybrid by one of the parents.
Obviously, in most cases, Niedereder’s goldenrod does not form self-sustaining populations and does not spread by seeds or rhizomes (its rhizomes are short, and the proportion of well-developed seeds is low), but is re-formed by hybridization of parental species.
Czech and Slovak researchers in the work mentioned above also collected data on the habitats where the hybrid is found. The results of this study, as they say, are somewhat predictable: the Niedereder goldenrod, like the Canadian goldenrod, is confined primarily to abandoned fields and other anthropogenically disturbed habitats. Thus, it makes sense to look for it where Canadian and common goldenrod bloom at the same time. But this is not an easy task – after all, in the dense thickets of parental species, one or more different individuals must be found. It is worth looking for Niedereder’s goldenrod during the flowering period, when it stands out most of all against the background of both parental species.
However, if, having seen enough of the Canadian and ordinary, you meet the Niedereder goldenrod, it will most likely attract your attention. At least that’s what happened to me: when I discovered it this year, it immediately caught my eye. In the city of Aleksin, Tula Region, in a suitable habitat – on an overgrown meadow lying between the old forest area of Aleksin Bor and the Oka River, which is regularly subjected to anthropogenic pressure, I managed to find several individuals of the Niedereder goldenrod. Its appearance is too “intermediate” to be confused with Canadian or common goldenrod. This is best seen if you place its inflorescence between the inflorescences of the parent species:
All Niedereder goldenrods I found grew several tens of meters from each other – so, apparently, these are really different individuals, and not the result of the “spreading” of one of them.
