Standardized tests in Arizona can give students the opportunity to show their critical thinking skills by applying what they have learned. It is important to remember, though, that assessments are only one signal of a student’s academic progress. They can indicate areas of mastery and can point to learning gaps, but they are not the whole picture of a child’s educational standing.
On this page you will learn more about Arizona standardized testing, including the types of tests required, testing dates, and the grade levels targeted. You’ll also learn how you can help your child prepare for standardized tests in Arizona.

Standardized tests are mandatory in Arizona, although standardized test scores are not an indicator of whether a student can graduate or not.
Below is a breakdown of the Arizona standardized tests:
AzM2 – Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching (AzM2) is an annual statewide test that measures how students are performing in English language arts and math. All students in 3rd through 8th grade and 10th grade will take the computer-based assessment.
AIMS Science – This test measures science proficiency according to the Arizona Academic Content Standard. It is administered in grades 4 and 8 and again in high school. The multiple-choice exam is computer-based.
Multi-State Alternate Assessment (MSAA) – Students with a “significant cognitive disability” are eligible for the Multi-State Alternate Assessment in mathematics and English language arts. The test is administered in grades 3-8 and again in 11th grade. It is aligned to state content standards.
Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA) – The AZELLA is Arizona’s English language proficiency assessment. It tests four distinct domains of language: listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Placement testing occurs all year for new students, and an annual reassessment is required for all English learners who have not yet been classified as English proficient.
When is Standardized Testing in Arizona?
Standardized testing dates in Arizona may vary every year depending on the assessment, however they do tend to fall during the same time of year. This information can help your child prepare for those upcoming tests.
Below is an overview of when Arizona standardized testing usually takes place:
AzM2 – Spring
AIMS Science – Spring
Multi-State Alternate Assessment (MSAA) – March through May
Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA) – Two weeks before the start of school through May
Standardized testing is not a requirement for homeschoolers in Arizona. However, many families appreciate the opportunity to evaluate how their homeschooler is progressing. Arizona homeschoolers do not have access to school-administered standardized tests; however, there are many private, nationally-normed, standardized testing options families can choose from.
How Time4Learning Can Help with Arizona Test Prep
Standardized tests are not the finish line of a child’s education; rather, they are checkpoints along the way. When seen from that perspective, you can feel more positive about helping your child prepare for these assessments.
Time4Learning can be a valuable partner in this effort. Our standards-based curriculum is a program that students can use—right from the comfort of home—to build the language arts, math and science skills that will be tested on Arizona standardized tests.
Here’s how Time4Learning can help with Arizona test prep:
Dozens of interactive lessons to help your child grasp English language arts concepts that will ultimately lead to better scores in this subject.

2019 Information
Dear PHS Families,
We will soon approach the time of year for statewide standardized testing. In addition to being required by state law, these tests can be good measures of learning that is occurring throughout our state, district, and school, as well as with individual students. Additional information, including sample tests, can be found at THIS LINK.
The format of AzMERIT tests is challenging, going well beyond a traditional multiple choice format. Tests feature short answer, drop and drag, and requirements to explain thinking. Scaled scores across the state on AzMERIT tests have reflected this challenging format and the rigorous state standards. In fact, less than half of students statewide have met the “proficient” benchmark on these tests for the past four years. However, PHS students typically score above state averages in each testing area.
We want to make sure students can do their best work on test days. Here at school:
We will provide the best preparation we can for students throughout the year in each content area.
We’ve reduced the number of testing days at PHS to only six days. A modified schedule on testing days will provide for ample testing time of nearly 2 hours per class. See the schedule below.
Teachers will plan for reduced homework prior to test days, and for no other tests besides AzMERIT/AIMS for students testing. (Note that students take AzMERIT or AIMS tests in Biology, Intermediate Integrated Science, Grade 9-11 English classes, and most Math courses. )
PHS sports schedules have been modified to minimize testing disruptions.
We have implemented an incentive program for students to do their best on these tests.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR CHILD PREPARE:
Please make sure your child is here at school on scheduled test days. We can administer make-up tests in case of illness, but make-up testing can be difficult and disruptive. Please do not schedule vacations or appointments on our 6 test days.
Please be sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before each test day. This can have a major positive impact on their ability to show what they have learned. Eat a healthy breakfast, and have a positive, calm morning on test days.

Arizona State Assessments
AASA
Arizona’s Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) is given each Spring to students in Grades 3-8, measures student proficiency in English Language Arts (including both Reading and Writing) and Mathematics. The assessment is aligned to ELA and Math academic standards adopted in 2016. Each year, the state of Arizona publishes School Report Cards, which includes results from this assessment. Parent information about the statewide achievement tests can be found at https://www.azed.gov/assessment/parents.
ACT and ACT Aspire
The statewide high school achievement tests are now the ACT Aspire (Grade 9) and ACT test (Grade 11). Together, these assessments measure English, Math, Reading, Writing, and Science. In addition, ACT is college-reportable. Parent information about the statewide achievement tests can be found at https://www.azed.gov/assessment/parents.

AzSCI
The Arizona statewide test to measure Science is the AzSCI (formerly the AIMS Science test) and is administered to students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 in the Spring. The AzSCI is a computer-based assessment that allows for the use of a variety of innovative item types, all aligned to the Arizona Science Standards adopted in 2018. A sample test can be viewed here.
Arizona’s Alternate Assessments: MSAA and AIMS-A Science
Arizona’s alternate Assessments were designed for students with significant cognitive disabilities and administered each Spring to studentsin Grades 3-8 and high school. Students must meet the eligibility requirements as determined by the student’s IEP team in order to participate in the State’s Alternate Assessments.
The Multi-State Alternate Assessment (MSAA) is designed to assess students with significant cognitive disability and measures academic content that is aligned to and derived from Arizona’s content standards. This test contains many built-in supports that allow students to take the test using materials they are most familiar with and communicate what they know and can do as independently as possible. The MSAA will be administered in the areas of ELA and Mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11.
Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards Alternate (AIMS-A), administered by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), measures what students know and are able to do in the content area of Science as presented in the Arizona Alternate Academic Standards. Students will receive test reports with specific information detailing their progress toward meeting the standards. The AIMS-A Science test will be administered in grades 5, 8, and 10.
Arizona’s English Language Learner Assessment: AZELLA
Given at all grade levels, the Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA) is a standards-based assessment to measure students’ English language proficiency. AZELLA is used for both placement and reassessment purposes and the students’ proficiency scores determine appropriate placement for instruction. Students who have been placed into an English language learner program will also take the AZELLA reassessment once per year until they achieve proficiency. Students who have scored proficient on the AZELLA are then monitored for two years to help ensure success after their move into a mainstream classroom.
The AzELLA is available as an online test. A sample test can be viewed here.
Parent information about Arizona state assessments
Amphi District Assessments
MAP Growth
MAP Growth tests are a group of tests created by NWEA and given to students in Grades 2-8 and at some high school levels, including Grades 9 and 10. The online tests are unique in that they adapt to student performance. If a student answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. This results in a detailed picture of what each student knows and is ready to learn — whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.
MAP Growth reports also provide typical growth data for students who are in the same grade, subject, and have the same starting performance level. Students are assessed in Fall, Winter, and Spring and their scores provide accurate, and actionable, evidence to help teachers target instruction to each student or group of students. More information about the MAP Growth tests is available here.
Amira
Amira is a literacy assessment and dyslexia screener, specifically for students in Grades K-3. (Third grade is especially important to literacy because it is the last year students are “learning to read”. After third grade, students are “reading to learn”.) Amira’s assessment uniquely combines direct observation with digital adaptation. Amira listens to students read and then creates running records, audio recordings, metrics, and reports for teachers and parents to review. Amira helps teachers group students by similar ability for stronger instruction.
i-Ready
i-Ready is an additional reading assessment at Amphi, given to students in Grade 2-5 to help teachers understand their students’ areas of strength and difficulty. Like the MAP, i-Ready is a web-based adaptive diagnostic that provides teachers specific supports for students at all reading levels.
National Assessments
NAEP
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a national assessment of academic content outlined in the NAEP Academic Frameworks. The assessments are given to a sample of students in Grades 4, 8, and 12. Each year, a different school is selected, and within the grade level, a representative sample of students are selected. There are no individual student, school or district scores. Results are compiled and presented as part of an annual publication called The Nation’s Report Card. Information about NAEP can be found here.
AIMS test may have no future in schools
The days for Arizona’s AIMS test may be numbered.
In a little-noticed provision slipped into the budget bill that
was passed in the early morning during the final hours of the
legislative session, a task force was created to examine the merits
of the state’s high school exit test and explore alternatives.
The seven-member task force, which will include a principal, a
finance officer and a curriculum expert, also will examine whether
college-placement exams might be merged with existing AIMS
questions as a graduation test, similar to a model used in
Michigan, and will look at whether the test should even be a
high-stakes test at all.
To make sure Arizona doesn’t trot too far down the AIMS path,
lawmakers also limited any contracts with the test publisher to one
year.
The amendment was supported by an unlikely coalition of
conservatives, who fear the test has been “dumbed down” so much
that it’s an irrelevant measurement of student skills, and
moderate-leaning members who worry that the test has bled some of
the creativity and innovation from the classroom.
People are also reading…
“I think doing away with AIMS is very likely going to be part of
the discussion,” said John Wright, president of the Arizona
Education Association, which represents teachers. Wright said he
found out about the amendment too late to weigh in on it but would
have supported it in concept.
“I think there’s always value in examining current practice and
seeing how to improve our practice, so we have an opportunity in
front of us,” Wright said.
Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards test, which students
are required to pass in order to graduate, generally has been
problematic, he said, because it has limited utility in helping
teachers refine their instructional practices since results for the
spring tests come out in the fall.
On the other end of the spectrum, The Goldwater Institute, a
conservative think tank, is also supporting doing away with the
existing testing system.
“I think the Legislature has taken the right approach in saying
we need to start over,” said Matthew Ladner, vice president for
research and a longtime critic of how the state tests are
administered and measured.
The federal No Child Left Behind Act sets up a perverse system
that gives incentives for states to ratchet down test expectations
to meet mandatory benchmarks, Ladner said. Arizona, he maintains,
has responded by reducing the passing thresholds so that more
students could pass. “Presto chango, we go from being in deep
trouble to well, it’s not so bad,” Ladner said.
Taxpayers can’t know, then, how schools are performing, and
parents can’t readily make educated choices about where to send
their kids to school, he said.
“The test scores have gotten to be a bit of a farce,” Ladner
said. “I think what the Legislature has done is recognize the need
for a credible system of testing in the state.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or a Libertarian or a
vegetarian; we all want to see kids succeed, and I applaud the
Legislature for the step they’ve taken,” he said.
Despite the initial agreement, there’s going to be plenty to
argue about. Wright, for example, is leery of the provision to
study making college-entrance exams a graduation prerequisite,
saying those tests do not match Arizona standards and may test
students on things they’ve never seen in a state classroom.
Ladner, meanwhile, said policymakers can debate the merits of a
high-stakes graduation exam but suggested Arizona should follow the
lead of other states such as Florida and instead put the emphasis
on the lower grades. If students were tested in third grade, he
said, and those who couldn’t read were retained, it would help dent
the dropout rate.
“What we know about literacy is that absent any heroic
intervention that schools rarely provide, kids who can’t read fall
further and further behind, and by late middle school they can’t
read the textbooks in front of them,” he said. “So by putting the
emphasis on a test in the 10th grade, we’re addressing the problem
at the back end instead of at the front end.”
At any rate, the potential overhaul isn’t sitting well with
Republican state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne,
who issued a letter to lawmakers late last week defending the test
and saying he was intentionally excluded from “secret” discussions
because backers of the amendment feared he would obstruct its
passage.
Horne said Arizona was at the end of its current five-year
contract and was prepared to send out bids for another five years.
The contract cap will make the test inordinately expensive, he
maintained.
“Making a policy decision like this, which ties the Board’s
hands to a one-year contract and thereby makes Arizona’s cost
skyrocket, at 2 a.m. so that legislators can be kept ignorant of
any input from the Department of Education, is not good public
policy making,” he wrote to lawmakers.
Horne denied that the test was dumbed down, noting that 3,000
students last year had the credits to graduate but couldn’t pass
the AIMS test after five tries. Those students were ultimately
allowed to graduate under a bill that permitted students to use the
grades they received in classes to supplement their AIMS scores.
“You can’t have it both ways,” he wrote.
Rep. Pete Hershberger, a Tucson Republican, supported the move.
Teachers are teaching to the test, and students are being drilled
to memorize factoids instead of applying deeper learning, he
said.
Hershberger’s bills in the past to look at scrapping AIMS for a
different model never got a hearing.
The momentum has clearly shifted.
“I think it’s just a higher-profile issue because now we’re
seeing that kids are not graduating. We had to fight so hard with
augmentation that it’s starting to sink in that AIMS is a reality
and not just hypothetical. There’s opposition from the left and the
right to the AIMS test now.”
The task force is required to make its recommendations to the
governor and Legislature by June 2009.
DID YOU KNOW
Arizona had a precursor to the Arizona Instrument to Measure
Standards.
Former state schools Superintendent C. Diane Bishop pushed for
the Arizona Student Assessment Program, which she said boosted
student achievement, while opponents contended that it put too much
focus on testing.
Established in 1990, the tests had a “performance-based” aspect
where students drafted letters and essays, solved analytical
puzzles and interpreted poetry instead of answering multiple-choice
questions.
At the urging of Bishop, the Arizona Board of Education required
students to pass a series of ASAP tests to earn a high school
diploma, beginning with students scheduled to graduate in 2000.
That never happened, however, because her successor, Lisa Graham
Keegan scrapped that program when she was elected state
superintendent in 1994 and started AIMS.

AzMERIT
What are AzMERIT and AIMS? Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching (AzMERIT) is an annual statewide assessment that measures how students are performing in English language arts (ELA), math and writing. AIMS is the assessment that is used for science. Assessments can be effective tools to support your child’s learning. They can tell you and your child’s teacher if your child is on track to succeed or if he/she needs to spend additional time learning a topic.
Who takes AzMERIT and AIMS?
Students in 3rd through 8th grade will take AzMERIT in English language arts (ELA), math, and writing. Students in grades 4 and 8 will take AIMS in science.
What is ACT and who takes it?
ACT is an assessment that can be used to help students enter college, in addition to serving as our assessment for high schools. ACT is taken by 11th grade students. Parents and guardians of 11th grade students, please take a moment to look through this Parent/Guardian Letter (in PDF) to learn more about what to expect with the ACT assessment
What if my child is absent during the testing?
Each school will have makeup days. Please avoid making doctor, dental or other such appointments on testing days, and do not pull your children out of class unless it is an emergency. Once a test is started, the child must finish or risk having to leave sections blank.
How are AzMERIT and AIMS assessments graded?
All of the test items are reviewed and approved by Arizona educators. That review includes confirming the answer key for items and any scoring rubrics. Items that require hand scoring are scored by trained scorers using the appropriate scoring rubric.
Where can we get the draft score reports?
Examples of the family score reports and the report guide for AzMERIT are available at AzMERITportal.org.
Examples of the family score reports and the report guide are available for ACT at http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/scores/understanding-your-scores.html
When are the test results being released?
School districts generally receive copies of each student’s family score report at the end of May to early June, and we plan for the individual reports to be ready for parents to pick up before the start of the school year.
What is Move on When Reading (MOWR)?
“Move On When Reading” is a state law that says a student may not be promoted from third grade to fourth grade if the student is reading at a much lower level than is expected of a third grader. A student’s reading level is determined using the “Reading for Information” and “Reading for Literature” scoring categories of the AzMERIT English language arts assessment. More details about a student’s performance on these two areas can be found on the back of the family score report.
Schools and districts will notify parents at the earliest indication that a student is not reading at grade level. Therefore, if your child’s score report shows that he or she did not pass the Move on When Reading requirement, you most likely will have already received a letter or other form of communication from the school. If you are worried about your child’s reading ability, you should speak directly with his or her teacher to learn more.
Most schools and districts included a message for parents on end-of-year report cards of third grade students explaining that promotion to fourth grade is dependent upon the student’s final AzMERIT reading scores. Parents with students identified as not meeting the MOWR requirement will be notified this summer, after districts and schools review their students’ raw scores.
If your child did not meet the requirement on last year’s test, there are a variety of services that may be available to provide the necessary support to help your child catch up.
It’s important to note that some students are exempt from the law, including certain English Language Learners, students with individual education plans, students in the process of a special education evaluation, or students diagnosed with a significant reading impairment, including dyslexia.
How do assessments help students succeed?
Standardized assessments are like annual checkups—opportunities to find out how your child is doing. Just as doctors check height and weight, teachers use the assessments to check how your child is performing in subjects. The information from these tests will provide the constant, objective measure you can track over the course of your child’s education.
What does AzMERIT mean for students?
AzMERIT goes beyond multiple choice questions to provide a better indicator of what students have learned during the school year. Students will have a chance to show their critical-thinking skills by applying concepts and showing deeper understanding of a topic.
Will my high school student need to pass ACT to graduate?
Students are NOT required to pass the assessment for graduation. Beginning with the class of 2017, all students need to pass a civics test for graduation.
What are the benefits of these assessments?
The assessment results provide teachers, parents and students with valuable information about how students are doing and if they are prepared for the next grade and eventually for college and career. Students should use the test as an opportunity to check on their progress without the anxiety of needing to pass to graduate.
What will scores look like?
Scores on the AzMERIT/AIMS and ACT parent score reports will show performance levels. There are four performance levels that describe the general skills and abilities for students who take the AzMERIT. Students who score in the “Proficient” or “Highly Proficient” range are likely to be ready for the next grade or course. Students who score in the “Partially Proficient” or “Minimally Proficient” range are likely to need support to be ready for the next grade or course. Each test has three or more scoring categories that describe the content in different parts of the test, which will be shown on the back of the family score report. There is a short paragraph that will describe the student’s understanding of the content in this scoring category based on his or her ability level.
What if my child is not a good test taker?
Your child’s school and teacher can provide suggestions for helping your child successfully know and demonstrate his or her understanding of the state standards, which is what the AzMERIT, AIMS, and ACT tests are based on. Throughout the school year, there are many ways teachers assess how students are doing in their classroom, including classwork, homework, quizzes, projects, and teacher and counselor observations about your child’s growth. The results from AzMERIT, AIMS, and ACT should be used along with all of this information to ensure your child is on track to succeed.
How can I help prepare my child for these assessments?
At the beginning of the school year or semester, set shared goals with your child’s teacher for what your child needs to know and be able to do during this school year. Check in regularly on your child’s progress to see where your child might need help.
Talk with your child about the test—your conversations can help minimize any fear or anxiety your child may feel when taking the test this spring. You can also take practice AzMERIT and ACT tests at home to help your child prepare. For AzMERIT, there is no need to create a login; just simply sign in as a guest at azmeritportal.org. For ACT, go to https://tn.actonline.act.org/client/index.html for practice tests.
Parents and guardians of 11th grade students, please take a moment to look through this Parent/Guardian Letter (in PDF) to learn more about what to expect with the ACT assessment this year.

Spring has arrived, which means we’re already nearing the end of another school year in Arizona. It’s time to measure what students have learned and if they are on track and prepared for the next step in their education.
Think of the annual assessments as an academic checkup. Just as you would want your doctor to share an honest assessment of your child’s health, these assessments will give you the most accurate information about your child’s academic ability.
We know that taking tests can be stressful and students can experience a range of emotions from panic to apathy. It is important your child is mentally and physically prepared and there are simple ways to alleviate anxiety and stress.
Talk to Your Child’s Teacher
Teachers are an excellence resource for details about the skills your child has been working on this school year and what support you can give your child at home to help him prepare for the test.
Reinforce Critical Thinking Skills
Your child has been preparing for the new test since the school year began. All of the projects, assignments and discussions have reinforced critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However,
you can reinforce those skills at home by reading with your child and asking her to talk about the central idea or theme of book or article. Ask her to explain something she has written. Have her explain the steps she took to solve a math problem.
Practice At Home
You can support your child by learning about the skills being assessed on the test, as well as what
sample questions might look like and talking with him about it. If your child will be taking the test on a computer, it would useful to go through some sample questions so he is familiar with the platform. You can also take a practice AzMERIT test at home to help
your child prepare. There is no need to create a login, just simply sign in as a guest at azmeritportal.org.
Keep Track of Test Days
If you know when the tests are coming, you can make sure other activities are kept to a minimum. Ensure school takes priority over practices, appointments and trips.
Serve a Healthy Breakfast or Have Your Child Eat a Healthy School Breakfast Research has shown the impact eating breakfast has on academic performance. Focus on foods that are healthy and a source of energy, like eggs and whole grain toast, or oatmeal packed with fruit and nuts. Less healthy choices such as donuts and sugary drinks can leave your student feeling tired and hungry just an hour or two later. A nutritious breakfast will help your child stay focused and alert.
Safeguard Sleep
Make sure your student gets enough sleep the night before exams and in the days leading up to tests. Enforce a “tech curfew” — no phones, tablets, video games or TV for 30 minutes prior to bedtime. This will help your child wind down and prepare to get a good night’s rest.
Don’t Stress
Your stress can carry over to your student. By keeping your own stress levels down, you can help your child succeed. Try to emphasize to your child that she doesn’t have to be perfect, and that you’ll support her no matter what.
Stay Positive
Your child can be influenced by your reaction to testing time. Give him a positive send-off in the morning and tell him he has the needed skills, he just needs to relax and pace himself.
Remember, AzMERIT and other standardized tests are not the finish line. They simply serve as check points along every child’s educational journey. Testing results should be used to determine areas of strength and weakness so students can monitor and adjust. Set goals for any skills that need work and celebrate when your child reaches each goal.

AzMERIT to replace AIMS test in Arizona
PHOENIX — State education officials awarded a $19 million contract Monday for a new set of standardized tests that students will start taking this spring.
The announcement came as a relief to Flagstaff educators, who have been waiting for the Arizona State Board of Education to choose a new test since it announced more than a year ago that students would no longer take Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards after spring 2014.
“We’re happy that they’ve made a decision to choose a test so we can move forward and start figuring out what we need to do,” said Robert Hagstrom, Flagstaff Unified School District’s director of research and assessment.
Jennifer Johnson, the deputy state school superintendent, acknowledged the test to be developed by the American Institutes for Research will not be directly comparable with the AIMS test that it will replace. In fact, it will be so different from AIMS that the state Board of Education is already proposing a “hold harmless” period so that schools and students won’t be judged if their grades suddenly drop sharply that first year.
People are also reading…
But Johnson said the tests will be based on the same Common Core standards the state board adopted — and schools have been implementing — for the last four years despite the controversy that surrounds them.
There has been political debate over the standards, even after Gov. Jan Brewer and schools chief John Huppenthal renamed them as Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards. And there are candidates for statewide office who have vowed to scrap those standards.
But Christine Thompson, executive director of the state Board of Education, said the need for a new test does not go away no matter what. Anyway, she said, it would be wrong to assume there will be a major change regardless of the results of today’s election.
“I don’t believe it’s clear the standards will be crafted from scratch,” Thompson said. She said that standards are constantly reviewed and modified by the board all the time.
And there’s one other factor: While the state superintendent of public instruction is a member of the Board of Education, that person is just one member. And it is the full board that gets to make the decision.
She pointed out that state law requires accountability standards.
“It’s been a cornerstone of our education system that we implement those standards and we measure those standards,” she said. “I think that parents should have faith that the Board of Education is committed to not only the standards but this new assessment.”
Andrew Morrill, president of the Arizona Education Association, said he was glad the board will not try to compare AIMS scores with what has been dubbed Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching, or AzMERIT.
‘FLYING BLIND’
“You’re dealing with the new assessment has not even been scaled yet,” he said, saying Arizona is “flying blind. “
But he also noted that state officials insisted that the standards to be tested would be both Arizona-specific and yet comparable to how students and schools are doing in other states — and potentially other countries.
Morrill said that makes no sense. And he is concerned because the AzMERIT scores will be used to judge how well not just students but also teachers are doing.
Johnson, however, said these goals are not necessarily incompatible.
She said the tests will have questions designed to see if students here are meeting the Arizona-specific standards. But Johnson said the testing firm also will include questions here that it is also asking of students in other states.
AzMERIT tests will be required for English language arts and math in grades 3 through 8. That is similar to existing AIMS tests.
The big difference will be in high school.
AIMS was offered in 10th grade for reading, writing and math. Students needed to pass all three parts to get a diploma. And if they didn’t pass the first time, there were multiple opportunities to take any part again.
The new system will offer tests at the end of six required high school courses: English language and literacy for 9th, 10th and 11th grades, along with Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry.
But the big difference is that students can fail that test without it affecting their ability to graduate.
The current crop of juniors and seniors, however, who started taking AIMS in their sophomore year, still have to pass all three areas to get that diploma.
Even after the new test is implemented, AIMS will not disappear completely. The AIMS science test will still be administered to sophomores. FUSD will also continue to conduct internal testing to measure students’ academic progress throughout the year.
A DIFFICULT SWITCH
The switch to a new test may prove difficult.
There will only be five months for the American Institutes for Research to train state officials to administer the test, then for those state officials teach district officials and for district officials to train all the teachers who will administer the test in April. Hagstrom said he does not expect his staff to receive training from the state until January.
“November is a really tough time to start learning a new test and implementing everything to make it happen,” Hagstrom said.
Thompson said despite Monday’s awarding of the bid, there are “some details” that still need to be worked out before a contract is signed.
One of those details is the cost.
She said that $19 million figure is based on half of students taking the test online and half using pencil and paper. But Thompson said if more than half the schools lack the capability to do online tests, that figure could change.
Hagstrom serves on an advisory board that makes recommendations to the Arizona Board of Education regarding at the logistical issues involved with delivering the new test. The group plans to meet at the end of this month to make recommendations regarding the unanswered questions. Among them: Will the test be timed? What percentage of a student’s grade will each test count for? And what are the technological requirements for online testing?
“I would say that FUSD is likely to do the test online,” Hagstrom said. “However, until we have all of the technology parameters, we can’t make a final decision.”
FUSD’s website will contain updates on the new test as they become available. More information and tips for parents can be found online at www.azed.gov/assessment/azmerit.

Types
Questions and Answers
Conclusion
Questions on the topic “Software Testing” are constantly encountered on the Internet: what is it, what is the definition of the terms of this process.
In the article we will talk about testing, learn about its varieties.
Software testing
First, let’s understand what software testing is. It is the process of checking that the behavior of an application conforms to the expected parameters. For example, in theory, a program may behave in a certain way, but in practice, in a completely different way. For verification, a special set of tests is used.
Testing is one of the techniques for adjusting the quality of a program. His stages:
work planning;
test design;
testing;
analysis of results.
The quality assurance process is carried out by a special person or group of people called testers.
Test objectives
Verify that the product being tested meets the stated requirements. The test corresponding to this goal is called validation (reliability check). A successful validation indicates that the system is working as it should.
Find situations where the software is misbehaving, undesirable, or out of specification. Therefore, error hunting in this sense is intended to eliminate undesirable system behavior, such as system crash, unwanted interaction with other systems, incorrect calculations, corrupted data.
Types and types of testing
The following types of software testing can be distinguished:
Functional.
Non-functional.
Associated with changes.
Let’s analyze each of them separately.
Functional testing
Functional testing.
Safety testing.
Interaction testing.
Functional testing
Examines the predefined behavior of the program based on the analysis of the entire system and specification of the functionality of the element.
Safety Test
Checks the entire system for safe operation. Helps to analyze the risks that are associated with the organization of the protection of the program from various viruses and crackers, illegal penetration to view classified information.
Interaction Test
Tests an application to see if it can interact with one or more modules or external applications at the same time. Includes integration testing and compatibility testing.
Non-functional testing
Reliability testing.
Installation test.
Stress testing.
Usability testing.
Volume testing.
Load testing.
Configuration test.
Failure and recovery test.
Reliability test
This test checks the functionality of the program for several hours. The load on the program can be both medium and high.
Installation test
Checks the installation and its settings, software updates and removal.
Stress Test
Tests the performance of the application under stress conditions and evaluates the regenerative capacity of the system.
As stress, you can consider the degree of increase in the regularity of operations to the highest values or emergency editing of parameters in the server.
Another task of such testing is to assess the degradation of the system.
Usability testing
This testing method aims to determine the degree of usability, understandability and attractiveness for users.
Volume testing
The purpose of this test is to get an estimate of performance while increasing the amount of information in the application database.
Load testing
Emulates the work of a large number of users on some resource.
Configuration test
Checks the personal computer in configurations with drivers and various platforms that support this software.
Crash and Recovery Test
Checks the program for recovery from major failures that occur during software errors, hardware failures, and communication problems.
This type of testing makes it possible to test the recovery system, which, after a failure, will ensure the normal operation of the data.
Types of testing that are associated with changes
Smoke.
Regression.
Repeated.
Assembly test.
Sanitary.
Smokey
Can be thought of as a few small tests that are performed to verify that the desired application starts and functions normally after the code is built.
Regression
This type of testing checks that the changes made did not affect the functionality developed earlier.
Retry
Runs check scripts that detect errors at the time of the last run. This is to confirm that the bugs have been fixed.
Build testing
Gives you the ability to determine whether the released version meets the main quality parameters.
Similar to smoke testing, but unlike it, it can penetrate much deeper.
Sanitary
Checks the operation of a certain function according to the prescribed requirements, is a type of regression testing.
Used to check the operation of some program fragment after making changes to the current or related modules.
The method is used to evaluate the performance of a certain part of the program after some changes or adjustments have been made to it.
Also worth highlighting is Testing the user interface (UI).
An absolute test is carried out on these points:
Compliance of the implementation with the design prototype;
testing navigation (transitions) between components;
layout adaptability for various devices.
FAQ
What is system testing?
System testing is a complete test of a program or web application.
Often this type of testing takes place in manual mode: run the program, click through all the settings and buttons. This process can also be automated.
What is a test case?
A test case is a description of how the system works. It can be either long or short. Any team member can write a case, not only a tester.
Conclusion
In this article, we have given a brief overview of the main types of testing. However, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the process of checking the quality of a product is much deeper. Consistency, consistency and timeliness of actions at each stage are important here.
In fact, testing does not start from the moment you are given a working application, but much earlier, from the moment you agree on the requirements and specifications of the new product, you can assume that you have already started.
After receiving the first specifications, you start writing a test plan, develop test cases, evaluate the need for automation.

What is performance testing? | Micro Focus
What is performance testing?
| Micro Focus
Skip to Footer
Performance testing is needed to test the stability, speed, scalability and adaptability of the software under a given load without regard to functionality. This type of testing is very important for software quality assurance, but it is usually remembered at the last moment and carried out autonomously after functional testing is completed, when the code is already ready for release.
Performance testing is performed to evaluate application health, processing speed, data transfer rate, network bandwidth usage, maximum concurrent users, memory efficiency, loadability, and response time, among other things.
Performance Testing Challenges
Conducting performance testing addresses one or more of the following list of challenges faced by organizations.
Evaluate whether the application meets performance requirements (for example, the system can support up to 1000 concurrent users).
Identification of problems in the calculation algorithm of the application.
Verification of performance parameters declared by the software vendor.
Comparison of two or more systems and determination of the most efficient one.
Stability measurement under peak load conditions.
How to do performance testing?
The individual steps in the performance testing process may differ depending on the specific conditions in organizations, as well as the specific applications. It all depends on what indicators are most important for a particular enterprise. However, the tasks of performance testing for different organizations mostly overlap, so the testing process as a whole has several common stages.
Defining test tools and environments
Choose the test and production tools and environments you will use. Document hardware, software, and infrastructure requirements and configurations for test and production environments to harmonize all systems. Some performance tests can be implemented in a production environment, but this requires strong protections to prevent the testing process from affecting production operations.
Determination of acceptable performance criteria
Set limits, goals, and benchmarks for test success. Key criteria are derived directly from project specifications, but testers are free to set their own testing procedures and targets.
Test planning and development
Evaluate the range of different uses that the test scenarios should cover. Create appropriate testing procedures and determine the indicators that need to be recorded.
Preparing test tools and environments
Set up your test environment before starting performance testing. Prepare all the necessary tools.
Perform performance testing
Perform required tests. Record and track results.
Troubleshoot found issues and retest
Consolidate and analyze test results. Pass the results on to other project participants. Adjust application settings by fixing detected problems. Re-test to make sure each issue is permanently fixed.
Performance Testing Guidelines
Create a test environment that accurately reflects your production system. If this condition is not met, the test results may not correspond to the actual performance of the application in real conditions.
Separation of the performance testing environment from the UAT environment.
Select the test tools that will best automate your performance testing program.
To obtain accurate data on application performance, it is recommended to run several tests in sequence. When running a performance test on an existing configuration, run the procedure a few times before making a final pass/fail decision and check for repeatability.
Do not change the test parameters in this case.
What is the difference between performance testing and software quality assurance?
The concepts of performance testing and performance management are closely related, but still have certain differences. Performance testing is an integral part of performance management, generally aimed at measuring the performance of an application under a certain load.
Keeping modern software up to speed demands requires an advanced approach that includes comprehensive, integrated performance measures and controls beyond traditional performance testing. Performance management involves testing and tuning software to meet specific performance targets. Performance management is an earlier stage in the software development process that is designed to prevent and quickly resolve performance-related problems.
What are performance testing tools and how can Micro Focus help you?
Since the task is to determine the system performance parameters under various loads, it is extremely difficult to perform such tests without test automation tools. Testing tools vary in function, scope, complexity, and degree of automation. Learn how Micro Focus testing technologies can take your performance testing systems to the next level.

Article
Reading takes 3 minutes
Application must be tested for availability and stability . Availability describes the amount of time an application runs in a healthy state without significant downtime. Resiliency describes how quickly an application recovers from a crash.
The ability to assess availability and sustainability allows you to answer questions such as: How much downtime is acceptable? How much will potential downtime cost your business? What are your accessibility requirements? How much should you invest in making your application highly available? What is the ratio of risks to costs? Testing plays an important role in meeting such requirements.
Highlights
Test regularly to check existing thresholds, targets and assumptions.
Automate testing as much as possible.
Test both key test environments with production.
Check how the entire workload behaves under intermittent failure conditions.
Test applications against performance-critical non-functional requirements.
Perform load testing with expected peak data volumes to verify scalability and performance under load.
Test in chaos by injecting errors.
Time of testing
Regular testing should be performed with each major change and, if possible, on a regular basis to test existing thresholds, targets, and assumptions. Although most testing should be done in test and staging environments, it is often useful to run some of the tests on a production system. Plan for key test environments to fully align with the production environment.
Note
Where possible, automate testing to ensure consistent test coverage and repeatability. Automate frequently performed testing tasks and integrate them into your creation workflows. Manual software testing is tedious and error-prone, although manual exploratory testing can be done.
Fault Tolerance Testing
Resiliency testing requires testing how the entire workload behaves under intermittent failure conditions.
Perform tests in the development environment using both synthetic and real user data. Testing and development are rarely identical, so it’s important to validate your application in production using the Blue-Green or Early Deployment method. This will test the application in real-life conditions so that you can be sure that it will work properly when fully deployed.
Test plan includes the following:
Chaotic development
Automated pre-deployment testing
Testing by bug injection
Peak Load Testing
Testing disaster recovery
Benchmarking
The main purpose of benchmarking is to test the benchmark behavior of an application. Performance testing is a superset of load testing and load testing.
Load testing tests the scalability of an application by rapidly and/or gradually increasing the load on the application until a threshold or limit is reached. Load testing includes various events to overload existing resources and remove components to determine the overall resilience and responsiveness of the application to problems.
Simulation testing
Simulation testing involves the creation of small real-life situations. Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of recovery solutions and identifies issues that have not been adequately addressed.
When testing with a simulation, follow these guidelines:
Perform simulations in a way that does not interrupt business operations, but looks like the real situation.
Ensure that the simulated scenarios are fully controlled. If the recovery plan doesn’t seem to be working, you can restore normal operation without harm.
Inform managers about when and how simulation activities will be conducted. The plan should specify the simulation time and the affected resources.
Testing by bug injection
Test the stability of the system during failures by bug injection (activating real bugs or simulating them). The following are some strategies that can cause failures:
Shut down the virtual machine instances.
process termination;
expiration of certificates;
Change access keys.
Shut down the DNS service on domain controllers.
Limit available system resources such as RAM or number of threads.
Disconnect disks.
Redeploy the virtual machine.
Your test plan should include possible points of failure identified during the design phase, in addition to the usual failure scenarios:
Test your application in an environment as close to production as possible.
Test error combinations.
Measure recovery time and ensure that your business requirements are met.
Ensure that failures do not cascade and are handled in isolation.
Peak load testing
Load testing is critical for detecting failures that only occur under load, such as server database overload or service throttling. Perform peak load testing and anticipated peak load increase using operating data or synthetic data as close to operating data as possible. The goal is to understand how the application behaves in the real world.

Digital tenge. View of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan » Magazine PLUS No. 7
We are talking with Eldos Kuanyshbekov, Deputy Chairman of the Development Center payment and financial technologies of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
PLUS: What were the prerequisites for the implementation of the project for the introduction of the digital tenge by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan? What tasks is designed to solve this kind of digital currency in general and what goals are set for the digital tenge? What tasks should it help solve for the state and the financial system? In what areas is it planned to use the new payment instrument in Kazakhstan?
E. Kuanyshbekov: The pandemic has accelerated a longer digital transition. Mobile and contactless payments are already part of our daily lives. New technologies are expanding their presence in retail payments. The trend of “decentralized finance” is rapidly gaining momentum, which challenges traditional financial models. Decentralized finance makes traditional banking products more accessible, develops the advantages of cryptocurrencies and offers new tools for self-regulation of the financial market. This model increases the risks of financial market volatility, despite its technological effectiveness, infrastructure failures and hacks are frequent, and fraud is also quite common.
Central bank digital currencies can be the answer to current challenges by increasing security and neutrality in new digital payments, financial inclusion, innovation and system openness. Central banks exist to protect the monetary and financial stability of a country. CBDCs are a tool to achieve these goals.
The digital tenge project is focused on the development and modernization of the National Payment System of the Republic of Kazakhstan in order to provide stable access to inexpensive, fast, convenient and secure payments for every citizen. The introduction of the digital tenge is a requirement of the times: during the pandemic, the development of non-banking platforms has accelerated, and the potential risks of the impact of private projects on the country’s monetary sovereignty have increased.
Digital tenge as a third form of national currency and as an important component of the country’s payment infrastructure can be widely used due to the combination of properties of cash and electronic means of payment. Potential stakeholders here can be governmental and financial organizations, businesses and citizens.
PLUS: Returning to the history of the issue: on what key points was the concept of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan based? A few words about the intermediate results of the study of the benefits and costs of the possible introduction of the digital tenge, conducted by the National Bank in 2022.
E. Kuanyshbekov: In November 2020, as part of an international working group of 28 central banks, the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the National Bank) began to explore the issue of introducing its own national digital currency.
In May 2021, a consultative report for public discussions “Digital tenge” was published, which highlighted the prerequisites for the introduction of a central bank digital currency in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the main principles of implementation and strategic requirements for the digital tenge, as well as approaches to the implementation of a pilot project. Following the publication of the report, the National Bank held more than 50 discussions with market participants, local and international expert communities, as well as foreign partners represented by central banks and international organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, the World Economic Forum, etc.
In 2021, a prototype digital tenge technological platform based on a distributed ledger was also developed. On the basis of the prototype, the main stages of the digital tenge life cycle were tested, as well as the most common user scenarios, including offline payments with digital tenge. Market participants were also involved in testing (two second-tier banks and one fintech company). On December 15, 2021, a report (white paper) was published on the results of the implementation of the pilot project.
Interim results of the study, as well as materials from discussions with market participants, are available to the general public and the expert community on the official website of the National Bank.
In 2022, it is planned to expand the technological platform of the digital tenge, as well as to conduct a pilot project with market participants and consumers of financial services in a limited circuit. The economic and regulatory aspects of the introduction of the national digital currency will also be worked out.
In July this year, a model was developed and published, on the basis of which, by the end of 2022, a decision will be made on the need to introduce digital tenge.
The launch of the Digital Tenge Hub collaborative platform, on the basis of which it is planned to hold and organize open discussions on all aspects of the project, expert dialogue with market participants and international communities, as well as training employees of financial organizations to work with the digital tenge platform.
The National Bank is committed to a policy of open communication with all stakeholders and will ensure broad involvement of market participants in the pilot project.
PLUS: Now let’s talk about the technological feasibility of the digital tenge concept. Tell us about the progress of the pilot project in 2021 and its results, first of all, in terms of implementing the basic scenarios for the digital tenge life cycle: from issue and distribution to purchases and transfers using digital tenge.
E. Kuanyshbekov: An open source distributed ledger platform is used as the technological basis for the digital tenge pilot. On its basis, functionality was developed to support the life cycle of the digital tenge, taking into account the requirements for digital currency in the Republic of Kazakhstan, formulated in the reports of the National Bank and confirmed during discussions with market participants.
The results of the 2021 pilot project confirm the possibility of issuing (issuing) digital tenge in the format of so-called tokens. Tokens will be stored on consumer digital wallets, access to which will be organized through channels provided by financial market participants (second-tier banks, payment organizations).
Consumers will be able to pay with digital tenge by analogy with existing digital means of payment – through POS-terminals using NFC, QR codes, biometric technologies, etc. At the same time, consumers will be able to pay and transfer offline, that is, in the absence of Internet access for both the sender and the recipient of funds.
PLUS: How should the digital tenge differ from electronic money and cryptocurrencies as a central bank digital currency (CBDC)?
E. Kuanyshbekov: Digital tenge will be issued only by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and will be its liability. In other words, trust in the digital tenge is guaranteed by the National Bank. For comparison: electronic money is issued and circulated within a specific electronic money system and is the obligation of the system owner, while stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, with similar technological approaches, cannot perform all the functions of money as a means of circulation, accumulation and payment, as well as a measure of value. They do not have a single issuer that could guarantee the protection of the interests of the holders, and their value is subject to fluctuations.
PLUS: In your opinion, are there any common objective reasons that push various countries to introduce central bank digital currencies? If yes, what are they?
E. Kuanyshbekov: The strategic goals of implementing CBDC in different countries may differ depending on local specifics. However, according to the BIS study, most countries set the following goals: diversification and sustainability of payment mechanisms, increase financial inclusion, increase the efficiency of cross-border payments, improve the security and privacy of payments, increase the sovereignty of monetary policy at the global level.
PLUS: Who is the developer of the digital tenge platform?
E. Kuanyshbekov: The National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan is developing the basis of the digital tenge platform together with the Center for the Development of Payment and Financial Technologies of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The development and testing of MVP scenarios on the platform is carried out in cooperation with market participants – second-tier banks and fintech organizations.
PLUS: What are the requirements for banking systems to connect to the digital tenge project?
E. Kuanyshbekov: Due to the high level of development of the banking and fintech services market, the chosen architectural solutions and the experimental nature of the project, it is more appropriate to talk about the requirements not for the banking system, but for a potential team for integrating banking mobile applications and backend- systems with a new digital tenge payment infrastructure, including the availability of resources and competencies not only for the development of MVP, but also for additional own R&D activities.
PLUS: What investments in their IT infrastructures will banks have to make to work within the framework of the digital tenge project (minimum – maximum)? How can these investments be recouped?
E. Kuanyshbekov: At this stage of studying a new form of currency, the conceptual and technological components of the DH ecosystem – technological architecture, the roles of all market participants, necessary investments, integrated technological solutions – are not defined.
At the current stage of researching the concept of the DH platform, we suggest that market participants follow the official updates on the information on the project, in particular, the results of platform piloting, and start technological research on the main features of the DT: 1) the use of a distributed ledger; 2) cryptographic nature of the digital currency; 3) translations at close range.
PLUS: In a number of countries, as part of the implementation of national digital currency projects, central banks are only tasked with issuing CBDC. All work with digital currency is planned to puzzle commercial banks. Doesn’t it seem expedient to follow the same path in Kazakhstan?
E. Kuanyshbekov: Commercial banks and external participants play a significant role in the development of aspects of the digital tenge and the implementation of the pilot technology platform: the pilot project participants are developing their own applications and scenarios for the main stages of the digital currency life cycle, as well as developing new ones the possibility of its application.
At the same time, the National Bank of Kazakhstan provides a platform on which the issue and circulation of DT is carried out, and also ensures the validation of transactions on the platform.
PLUS: Does the digital tenge have any advantages in terms of cyber security compared to electronic money and cryptocurrencies? Will banks need additional work to strengthen the security of the digital tenge? Will citizens need to be trained in certain specific security rules when using the digital tenge?
E. Kuanyshbekov: Data protection, operational stability and cybersecurity are among the fundamental principles for implementing a central bank digital currency, in particular the digital tenge. A review of cyber attack tests of existing platforms for digital currencies of central banks was carried out. It should be noted that many risks depend on the design format of the technological infrastructure of the digital currency and the configuration of various properties depending on the system requirements. Distributed ledger technology was chosen to implement the DT pilot project, including for reasons of security and privacy: this solution made it possible to manage anonymity, confidentiality and traceability of transactions.
Among the hypotheses successfully tested in the project was the security of transactions. The use of tokens made it possible to uniquely identify the issuer, which guaranteed their authenticity. At the same time, the consensus mechanism excludes the possibility of double spending of tokens if there is an Internet connection on the participants’ devices. Nevertheless, in the future it is necessary to work out the requirements and criteria for the protection of personal data of users containing bank secrecy, as well as the distribution of responsibility between the participants.

PLUS: What are the risks associated with the launch of the digital tenge project in the economy of Kazakhstan, and what is opposed to them?
E. Kuanyshbekov: The issue of “digital flight” is being discussed in the international expert community. The term refers to the outflow of funds from commercial banks at an unprecedented speed and scale, including in the form of cross-border flows due to the potential advantages of the new currency. The advantages can be identified in three aspects: a high level of liquidity due to the feasibility of offline payments, as well as the asset backing of the NBK, rather than second-tier banks (STBs). From the point of view of accrual of interest, the digital tenge will not be attractive, since the NBK is not considering the possibility of receiving interest on digital tenge balances. Thus, in the absence of a percentage reward for a digital currency, the demand of economic agents for it will be based not on the possibility of more profitable placement of savings and current account funds, but on the choice of the most attractive means of payment in terms of efficiency and liquidity.
The attractiveness of the new currency in terms of super-liquidity remains an open question, and the potential effect on financial stability will depend on central bank regulations. The NBK may impose limits on possession and use, or may manage the distribution between different forms of money using interest rates and other regulatory restrictions to maintain balance and stability in the financial market.
PLUS: Will the launch of the digital tenge reduce the volume of cash in circulation (in the future) or the volume of traditional non-cash payments? How fast should digital tenge payments be? How did it look during the development of the project itself, and what confirmation of the calculations did the pilot show?
E. Kuanyshbekov: As part of the pilot project, a theoretical economic model was considered, which allows analyzing a number of economic aspects of the issue and implementation of digital tenge. Within the framework of the theoretical model, the influence of DH emission and flow between economic agents is considered based on the analysis of their balance sheets. Thus, according to the results of the model, the emission of DH will not lead to a change in the monetary base and money supply in the economy. At the same time, changes in the structure of the money supply will be observed. The issue of DH based on the conversion of the non-cash form of tenge from the current account will lead to a decrease in the volume of current accounts due to an increase in the volume of DH. In the event that DH conversion occurs with the use of cash, the structure of the money supply will not change the size of current accounts, but there will be a reduction in cash in circulation.
Survey on the motivation of the Central Bank to introduce digital currency at different stages
As for the speed of payments, the implementation of digital currency has a number of advantages, one of which is precisely the increase in the speed of transactions for end users by reducing the processing time and execution of transactions. In addition, interoperability—the ability to effectively interact with other systems and other central bank digital currencies—could increase the speed and reduce the cost of cross-border payments in the future.
It should be noted that the current model is currently not the final and exhaustive methodological approach within the economic analysis of DH. At the same time, it is planned to conduct a full-fledged scientific and practical study for an in-depth study of the macroeconomic effects of the use of DH, which, among other things, will be based on data obtained during surveys of consumers of financial services. It is expected that the results of this study will allow a quantitative assessment of the parameters presented in the theoretical economic model of DH, which was formulated during the pilot project phase.
PLUS: Will the digital tenge combine the key advantages of cash and electronic money, including anonymity and independence from communications, and if so, how?
E. Kuanyshbekov: At the moment, we are considering the possibility of custom anonymity for the user, when the user will be able to choose whether to show personal data to other users participating in the transaction, which will achieve a level of anonymity comparable to cash. The issue of independence from the availability of an Internet connection is being worked out as part of the R&D sandbox for offline payments, and the analysis of available technological solutions is still underway – from quasi-offline solutions to systems of cryptographically secure “cold” wallets.
PLUS: A few words about the next stages of the digital tenge project. What points will the National Bank be guided by when making the final decision on the launch of digital tenge, and which of the conditions are the most critical:
potential benefits and risks;
level of sophistication of technological aspects;
assessment of the impact on monetary policy and financial stability;
possible effect for the national payment system and its participants;
something else?
E. Kuanyshbekov: Each of the above conditions is critical for the further implementation of the digital tenge. The Feasibility Decision Model will take a holistic approach, considering these and other aspects comprehensively and carefully to reach a final decision.
YouTube ban, law on recommender algorithms by State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin, fakes about referendums and mobilization
Illusory zombies and fakes
YouTube video hosting propaganda acts on an unprepared Internet user as a hallucinogen and a stimulant at the same time, and the Russian authorities have no arguments yet to respond to this total pressure. The media machine of the West is ready to cripple anyone, no matter if it is a child or a sick person, which is shown by the latest state of emergency in the regions.
After analyzing reports of two important events for Russian society in recent days, the Safe Internet League has revealed on the Web 4.2 million fakes about partial mobilization in Russia and about two million about referendums on joining Russia with the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, said the director of the league, a member of the Public Chamber (OP) of the Russian Federation Ekaterina Mizulina.
According to her, YouTube takes second place after Telegram channels, where extremist content and fakes are distributed in incredible quantities. And the goals of these manipulations are far from being marketing, but political. And with such an attack, it is high time to do something.
How YouTube’s algorithms ignore the wishes of users
Research and testing of video hosting services by a number of companies speaks about the psychological processing of the audience. Team Mozilla decided to explore YouTube and studied how its algorithms work. It turned out that the issuance system, at best, shows the user videos, half of which are not interesting to him. Testing the buttons “Dislike”, “Not interested”, “Do not recommend a video from this channel”, the experts came to the conclusion that at least in every second impression the user’s wishes do not work, or he practically does not feel the effect at all.
“Dislike” button influenced search results in 12% of cases, and “Not interested” in 11% of cases, “Do not recommend videos from this channel” and “Remove from watch history” were slightly more effective – 43 and 29% respectively. YouTube has criticized Mozilla’s research, stressing that it doesn’t take into account how the algorithms actually work. However, the IT giant did not provide any explanation.
ETH PhD student Manuel Ribeiro recently published a paper in which he and his co-authors tracked how YouTube users were radicalized by far-right content on the online platform. The researchers looked at the comments to track which channels users clicked on, and found that unsuspecting people were lured to radical ideological channels with the help of influencers.
In Russia, there is an application for children to watch YouTube, which limits the content of the video hosting. That is, such options are appropriate for educational institutions, but they are unlikely to be popular, believes Roman Romachev, director general of the R-Techno intelligence technology agency.
– I have several private videos that can only be viewed by sharing the link, meaning they are not visible through search. Lately, I’ve had a lot of removals of such video content, which, according to the video hosting, may not comply with its policy, although these videos, I repeat, are closed. Therefore, even if you make some kind of shell that will filter the output of content, then YouTube will go further and continue to block any uploaded video content. The problem is downloading content, and not just what recommendations the system gives , – Roman Romachev believes.
New law for algorithms
Russia is actively developing a draft law on the operation of recommender algorithms. Its author, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, Anton Gorelkin, believes that the American authorities have actually admitted that they have built a system that directly affects the work of recommender algorithms of social networks. According to Gorelkin, artificial intelligence really determines the posts that the user may like, but the administration always has the opportunity to influence this issue.
Who is the new Italian Prime Minister George Meloni and how will this affect relations with Moscow
The politician drew attention to the term algorithmic anxiety, which can be translated as algorithmic anxiety. It is increasingly used in the West, calling the psychological state that is provoked by recommender algorithms. When a person begins to experience irritation, anxiety and even anxiety from recommendations and does not understand how they are formed and how to get rid of them. This phenomenon is described in detail in The Age of Algorithmic Anxiety in The New Yorker.
– In an attempt to influence the algorithm, people now have to perform some non-obvious actions like scrolling through unnecessary posts, refusing to like or write a comment. And someone just switches to those services that practice abandoning recommender algorithms , Gorelkin explains.
The harm caused to society by recommender algorithms (or rather, their non-transparent use) becomes more and more obvious every day. The essence of regulation is to make the work of recommendation services transparent to society.
– Nobody understands how it works now. Why is a six-year-old child suddenly shown a sharp political show? – asks the parliamentarian.
– Opaque recommendation service algorithms carry risks. Obviously, regulators will move towards transparency. The same YouTube invites us to just take his word for it. In the era of information warfare, it is necessary that this industry work by the rules so that a person can turn off all recommendations and understand how they work. Why are alternative positions pessimized and only the US government’s point of view promoted? Algorithms help disperse fake information. There are many such cases , says Gorelkin. According to him, this law will soon be submitted to the State Duma after lengthy discussions with the relevant industry.
The President of the Federation of Computer Sports of the Russian Federation believes that video games did not play a key role in the tragedy in Izhevsk

He called not to look for simple solutions, but to find out how a registered person could take a weapon.
Control – a philosophical statement about self-determination
As soon as a person begins to consider himself the center of the universe and the measure of all things, the world loses its human face, and a person loses control over the world.
On the agenda is not an analysis of the excellent interactive component of the game Control and not even an analysis of creative solutions, but an attempt to understand the philosophy laid down by Sam Lake, transmitted through outstanding narrative elements.

Kid Academy – Where Kids Come to Learn and Have Fun
Kid Academy is the largest, and nicest preschool in Gulfport, MS, and has been in business for 21 years. The school has over 9,000 square feet for pre-school classes and over 4,000 square feet of playground space for children during recess.
The school grounds are protected by a camera security system, with cameras installed in the classrooms, parking lot, the office, and the lobby to ensure the safety of everyone who is on campus grounds. Each classroom has an intercom system installed as well, so the teachers are kept up to date with things happening outside without having to leave the children unattended. This is important especially in times of emergency when an adult must attend to the students at all times.
A spacious and protected school is important when looking for the right childcare center for your child. At Kid Academy, we offer the best preschool education in the Gulfport, MS area, incorporating creativity with learning. Our curriculum for preschoolers has been curated custom to Kid Academy in such a way that they can enjoy their childhood while learning new concepts and exploring their environment.
We welcome children of different ages from infants all the way to pre-elementary level to join us as we prepare them for the next stage of schooling.
More about Kid Academy
The school has separate hallways for students under the age of two and for students three and above. Different age levels have different activities in their days at Kid Academy and we would like for all of the students to be able to feel comfortable with the school environment.
A covered back porch is open for children to enjoy their snacks or lunch while being outdoors. We encourage them to run around and play with peers for a fun physical exercise. The area is kept clean and tidy at all times for the safety of
both the teachers and the students. There are plenty of chances to learn and to develop skills while at Kid Academy thanks to our aim to provide holistic development, which is why we are one of top daycare centers in Gulfport, MS.
Kid Academy is a preschool with childcare hours. We are open to accepting children of different ages. The school is open from 6:30 AM until 6:00 PM. Kid Academy is open for most of the year and is only closed on major holidays. If you are looking for daycares in Gulfport, MS during holidays then you can count on us to be open when many other schools are closed.
Included in our preschool education is the chance for our students to learn about shapes, numbers, letters, and colors, among other things. Each day is also started with morning devotion, the Pledge of Allegiance, and The Morning Review where we discuss topics recently learned about. This gives the students the chance to remember their lessons and discuss the subject with their teachers and fellow students.
Each month has a specific theme such as a number or a color that the students can learn over time. This helps them to better remember the concepts of numbers, colors, or shapes in a fun and collaborative way. Monthly themes are introduced through songs, stories, or poems that will excite the students and make them look forward to learning something new each day. Arts and crafts are a strong part of our curriculum at Kid Academy, as this encourages artistic freedom and creativity. Children are full of ideas and have colorful imaginations, which is why we want to nurture it by giving them structure and learning environment to do so. We give children time to play outdoors and practice taking turns, sharing, and being kind to peers. Social interaction and outdoor play are all important in the social development of children. Their social skills are practiced by being in an environment with students of the same age, teaching them how to interact with others. There are plenty of chances to meet new friends and to build relationships among peers.
Kid Academy is a Christian-based preschool center that follows the values of Christian faith into our teaching and how we interact with the children. Bible studies are included in our student’s daily activities and are reiterated through stories and songs that the students have the chance to learn. We believe that these stories are not just merely for the entertainment of the students but also to help them understand the concept of Christianity and how it can positively affect their lives. The principles and the ideas present in the Bible stories can also be applied to situations in our everyday lives such as being honest, being patient, and speaking kindly to others.
As students learn about these ideas and concepts, they are better able to treat their peers with respect and courtesy. Our teachers are dedicated to ensuring that our students get the proper guidance when it comes to teaching the principles of the Bible. Memorizing verses and learning new songs are important aspects of teaching the children about Bible stories, helping them better absorb the information and learn about it. We find creative ways to teach our students and help them completely enjoy the process of learning as opposed to finding it too rigid.
Older students will get to bring home a weekly report progress to their parents. This is to show the parents the progress their child has made throughout the week. The topics that have been discussed in the past week will be the basis of the report. It outlines the strengths and the weaknesses of each student so the parents can better understand the subjects that their child finds interesting or is having trouble with.
As parents are able to monitor the progress of their child, we encourage them to be part of the learning process and to discuss with their child about the topics that he or she is learning at school. Parents play a unique role in the educational and social growth of the children, and we would love for them to be part of their child’s progress.
From all of the preschools in Gulfport, MS we are the best choice for your children and we promise that they will learn and progress with us. You can be assured that your child is in safe hands with Kid Academy as we have custom designed the curriculum to fit the right age range of students. For 21 years, Kid Academy has been shaped and developed for the best results. We have found effective ways of teaching and incorporating educational topics in an interesting way that keeps the attention of the students.
Our principal, Ms. Hope is well versed in the development stages of young adults having been a high-school principal for five years prior to opening Kid Academy. Ms. Hope also has a Master’s Degree in Education and is very hands on in keeping and shaping the curriculum of the school.
If there are any questions or clarifications regarding the curriculum of Kid Academy, please do not hesitate to call or to visit our management team.
The infants and toddlers enrolled at Kid Academy have a great time with our teachers as they are taught how to hold bottles, how to turn, and how to sit up during the early stages of their physical development. We want to ensure that the needs of our children are fulfilled in a complete and non-evasive manner.
Physical touch and games are introduced to the younger students to help them explore different colors, shapes, and textures that help in their mental development. Motor skills are also developed through playtime and walking or running around the classroom. This is important for stronger bones and fully developed physical attributes.
Not only is our facility equipped to handle young ones, but we also look forward to spending time with them playing and enjoying the games and activities. Our daycare teachers are very hands on when dealing with the younger students and introduce them to calming and soothing music as well as teaching them lullabies. This helps the infants and toddlers to feel safe and comfortable within the premises of the classroom.

404 – PAGE NOT FOUND
Why am I seeing this page?
404 means the file is not found. If you have already uploaded the file then the name may be misspelled or it is in a different folder.
Other Possible Causes
You may get a 404 error for images because you have Hot Link Protection turned on and the domain is not on the list of authorized domains.
If you go to your temporary url (http://ip/~username/) and get this error, there maybe a problem with the rule set stored in an .htaccess file. You can try renaming that file to .htaccess-backup and refreshing the site to see if that resolves the issue.
It is also possible that you have inadvertently deleted your document root or the your account may need to be recreated. Either way, please contact your web host immediately.
Are you using WordPress? See the Section on 404 errors after clicking a link in WordPress.
How to find the correct spelling and folder
Missing or Broken Files
When you get a 404 error be sure to check the URL that you are attempting to use in your browser. This tells the server what resource it should attempt to request.
http://example.com/example/Example/help.html
In this example the file must be in public_html/example/Example/
Notice that the CaSe is important in this example. On platforms that enforce case-sensitivity example and Example are not the same locations.
For addon domains, the file must be in public_html/addondomain.com/example/Example/ and the names are case-sensitive.
Broken Image
When you have a missing image on your site you may see a box on your page with with a red X where the image is missing. Right click on the X and choose Properties. The properties will tell you the path and file name that cannot be found.
This varies by browser, if you do not see a box on your page with a red X try right clicking on the page, then select View Page Info, and goto the Media Tab.
http://example.com/cgi-sys/images/banner.PNG
In this example the image file must be in public_html/cgi-sys/images/
Notice that the CaSe is important in this example. On platforms that enforce case-sensitivity PNG and png are not the same locations.
404 Errors After Clicking WordPress Links
When working with WordPress, 404 Page Not Found errors can often occur when a new theme has been activated or when the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file have been altered.
When you encounter a 404 error in WordPress, you have two options for correcting it.
Option 1: Correct the Permalinks
Log in to WordPress.
From the left-hand navigation menu in WordPress, click Settings > Permalinks (Note the current setting. If you are using a custom structure, copy or save the custom structure somewhere.)
If your blog is showing the wrong domain name in links, redirecting to another site, or is missing images and style, these are all usually related to the same problem: you have the wrong domain name configured in your WordPress blog.
How to modify your .htaccess file
The .htaccess file contains directives (instructions) that tell the server how to behave in certain scenarios and directly affect how your website functions.
Redirects and rewriting URLs are two very common directives found in a .htaccess file, and many scripts such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Magento add directives to the .htaccess so those scripts can function.
It is possible that you may need to edit the .htaccess file at some point, for various reasons.This section covers how to edit the file in cPanel, but not what may need to be changed. (You may need to consult other articles and resources for that information.)
There are Many Ways to Edit a .htaccess File
Edit the file on your computer and upload it to the server via FTP
Use an FTP program’s Edit Mode
Use SSH and a text editor
Use the File Manager in cPanel
The easiest way to edit a .htaccess file for most people is through the File Manager in cPanel.
How to Edit .htaccess files in cPanel’s File Manager
Before you do anything, it is suggested that you backup your website so that you can revert back to a previous version if something goes wrong.
Open the File Manager
Log into cPanel.
In the Files section, click on the File Manager icon.
Check the box for Document Root for and select the domain name you wish to access from the drop-down menu.
Make sure Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)” is checked.
Click Go. The File Manager will open in a new tab or window.
Look for the .htaccess file in the list of files. You may need to scroll to find it.
To Edit the .htaccess File
Right click on the .htaccess file and click Code Edit from the menu. Alternatively, you can click on the icon for the .htaccess file and then click on the Code Editor icon at the top of the page.
A dialogue box may appear asking you about encoding. Just click Edit to continue. The editor will open in a new window.
Edit the file as needed.
Click Save Changes in the upper right hand corner when done. The changes will be saved.
Test your website to make sure your changes were successfully saved. If not, correct the error or revert back to the previous version until your site works again.
Once complete, you can click Close to close the File Manager window.

Children’s Academy of Sciences: Country boarding school – a combination of academic knowledge and life
Natalya Kulakova , head of school .
Our suburban SCHOOL AND PRESCHOOL is a center of education and health for children and their parents. I have been working on this project for many years. After defending my dissertation and coming out of experimental science, over the past 15 years I have led two children’s projects, developed programs for children from 0 to 3 years old and from 3 to 12 years old, observed the development of children, attended innovative and traditional schools Russia and Abroad.
Academy is suitable for those families who want their children not only to receive academic basic knowledge and a broad outlook, but also to grow up in a healthy lifestyle, learn to communicate and apply knowledge in practice . For me, in the last few years, it has become fundamentally important to combine knowledge and life in the upbringing and development of children, which I reflected in our new slogan, as more and more often there are adults who cannot find their place in life, apply the acquired knowledge, cope with the amount of information.
In the Children’s Academy of Sciences project, we found out how to build an educational and educational process so that the child does not have such questions at all, so that life and the application of knowledge are an integral part from the very beginning.
I entered pedagogy from science, pursued a scientific career for many years, defended my PhD in such a lively and close to life area as psycholinguistics. I was engaged in experimental work, which taught me to look at life, at children, at education differently. Practitioners and experimenters act differently than theorists. They observe, look, process the information received, draw conclusions and follow the results. Sometimes they change their views and approaches, they are not afraid. I am an experimental person, a scientist , this left its mark on all the projects in which I participated and did it myself, on the methodology that I wrote, and the principles of the methodology that have developed in our projects over the years of work.
My oldest and favorite project is the “0-3” project, it left its mark on how the further pedagogical work developed. Children aged 0-3 are a special age when there is no logical thinking, there are practically no resources for processing information critically. Children absorb everything that is served to them on a figurative, emotional level. Having learned to work with such an age, I saw that an interactive, imaginative, sensory technique works with children of any age. This was my discovery and influenced my further work with older children, the approach itself. Interactivity, the opportunity for children to participate in all processes, the impact on all their senses and the stimulation of an active position are the key points of all our programs.
We developed skills in children by organizing meetings with the best craftsmen and scientists who can infect children with a passion for work (potters, carpenters, paleontologists, seamstresses, historians, reenactors, etc. ). This gave a tremendous result and motivated the children to study.
They set up a garden and a garden around the Academy in the city, where the children themselves planted trees, made a pond, where it was possible to observe wildlife, go to the open air. Interaction with the living world made it possible to form an ecological attitude to nature, an understanding of subtle relationships, which formed the basis of spiritual education.
I have been on a lot of internships, the first serious experience that resonated with me inside was Montessori schools and gardens in Italy . In them, I saw the two most important things that entered our methodology.
The first is the stimulation of children to independence, to participate in various processes.
The participation of children in all processes has become the foundation of my approach . I completed Montessori teaching courses. In addition to the fact that children learn self-service, know how to dress, put on shoes and prepare their own breakfast, there is another important psychological aspect – this is the development of a state when the child grows inside the confidence that he can cope with any business. When we grow up, life gives us opportunities, but we simply don’t take on much, because there is no confidence inside that we can handle it. It is in early childhood, I think, that this state is formed, when we gain strength to step into the unknown.
The second thing that impressed me in Italy was that the children used the territory adjacent to the school as an educational environment, they had tables for creativity, spread blankets and had the opportunity to continue learning in nature. This image has haunted me for the last few years.
The next explosion is Japanese schools . We saw that Japanese children themselves clean up the space they are in, study, and this is not forced labor, not something out of the ordinary, but this is normal, good. There is a time in the schedule when everyone, from the director to the first grader, goes to work and everyone has their own mop, their own rag, everyone cleans the school. This approach saves children from the consumer attitude to life. Often the family protects children from work and says: “Just study, we will do everything for you, come on, son, you will be a Nobel laureate, and mom will collect socks, cook food and clean everything up for you.”
Seeing care for common space as part of the educational process, as part of the educational process, was a kind of shock for me. I also want to take this experience: obligatory participation in what surrounds you, indifference to whether it is dirty or not dirty around you, beautiful or ugly, environmentally friendly or not environmentally friendly. This problem is much bigger and much deeper than just cleaning up after yourself.
The third opening – Finnish and Swedish schools , and a project that translates “In the snow and in the rain.” When children are constantly walking, activities and lessons take place on the street. I am very impressed with this topic, so when I saw foreign colleagues with the same views, I was very happy. I realized that I was not alone in my ideas.
The fourth shock – innovative schools in Moscow , with multimodal spaces that can be transformed, zones for the physical development of children, libraries and state-of-the-art technical classes. Of course, I want to implement all this in my school. We already have our own swimming pool, a rope park, workshops, a rich library, a sports hall with a climbing wall is under construction, an ecological and biological zone on the street and a physics and astronomy laboratory are under development.
All locations and principles of work, of course, do not give such a result without a democratic approach and self-government. Children vote, formulate rules, defend and argue their opinion, developing critical thinking. Both schoolchildren and preschoolers have common democratic circles.
Since my school is located outside the city, there is an opportunity to combine academic knowledge and life, interact with nature, devote a lot of time to health .
Our education has always been non-standard. The schoolchildren who came to us for thematic dives said: “Now, if all the lessons at the school were so interactive, fun, interesting, spectacular, with dressing up in a skeleton costume, for example, if we study anatomy, then the school would be the most favorite place.” When the material is presented in this way, children can become seriously interested in the topic and they become motivated to study.
I want to share photos of what we are already doing, being here in self-isolation, which we will develop and continue. And, of course, there will be summer programs, and from September we will organize work taking into account all the areas I mentioned above.
Separately, I want to say about the programs for developing contact with your body. It is very important to teach children to feel themselves, to feel in which part of the body tension is localized and how to relieve it. I will actively develop such programs along with studies and academic knowledge.
Along with mathematics, languages, literature, I also include astronomy, chemistry, physics, biology as academic subjects, but these subjects should be taught visually, with experiments, demonstrations, with the participation of children and the application of the acquired knowledge in life. In addition, we develop an approach when any topic or phenomenon is studied from the point of view of different sciences , in all subjects. In international pedagogy, this principle of work is called the phenomenon-oriented approach.
And the “super sciences” of music and geography, which combine many aspects of knowledge, occupy an important place in our school. We have a well-equipped music class (it presents both classical and ethnic musical instruments located on the world map). children have free access to a guitar, two pianos and a drum kit.
Children are constantly approaching the instruments, trying to play something, the older ones are teaching the younger ones.
This is also one of the principles of our school, when interaction in a group of different ages is not only possible, it is encouraged and cultivated in every possible way. Older children are given the opportunity to teach the younger ones , conduct master classes, share what they themselves have learned, what they have learned – this is one of the strengths that we will continue to develop.
You have not implemented the online format, that is, you live together, study, improve your life, the educational process?
I am not an online person at all, it is difficult for me not to have touch contact and live interaction. I see the learning of the future as impossible without live contact with teachers, without the transfer of experience, social interaction in a group. Such education will be called elite; in the worst case scenario, it will become inaccessible.
I am a mother of 4 children. There are a lot of underwater problems and difficulties in distance learning, which will appear later.
Now a country boarding house is the best way. I took our children to school for self-isolation. Here we have physics, and chemistry, and music, and acting skills, while there are walks, a pool, a bathhouse and much more.
Our parents are entrepreneurs, self-employed people. For such parents, boarding is the way out, and for me this is also normal.
Are you currently testing, setting up a new format to launch fully from September?
We started to settle in the new space on March 30th. Let’s start summer programs. Summer dives are a well-known “camp with education” format. Many of the last years practiced in the city, without living. Now we have the opportunity to take children to stay, with an overnight stay. I hope that the ban will be lifted from summer programs, we will already be at some safer level. And yes, September is the launch of a school with the possibility of a boarding house.
Are you only taking first class? Or will you have several age groups at once?
We plan to reach two ages, this is purely due to my personal interests. I have two sons – one is going to the first grade, so I will definitely enroll in the first grade, and the second son is in the 6th grade, that is, I am ready to take the 5th and 6th grades too.
From September the elementary school block and the secondary school block start.
Next, let’s look at our resource, including human resources. All classes are structured in such a way that the lessons are taught by subject teachers. It’s one thing when a primary school teacher teaches all subjects – Russian, mathematics, drawing and everything else. But our process is structured in such a way that a physicist conducts physics, a chemist conducts chemistry, and a mathematician conducts mathematics. I will try to stay in this vein, and it is very costly and time-consuming.
Now there are a lot of plans: both the construction of the greenhouse and the completion of the climbing wall need to go in parallel with the technical expansion process. We will complete the Physics Laboratory only by September, I think, but now it is not ready yet.
We can accept up to 60 children – this is a school and a preschool department together.
Yarovskoye center for helping children left without parental care
The site was created on the Nethouse platform. Do you want the same?
Registry of organizations that transferred certain powers to prepare citizens who have expressed the desire to become guardians or trustees of minor citizens, or accept children without parental care to educate other forms
established by family legislation of the Russian Federation
Every child needs a mother… and a father!
Most of the children live in families. Among the many family models, a special place is occupied by families with adopted or adopted children. Families in which there are foster children and adoptive parents can only consist of foster children and adoptive parents, or foster children end up in a family where there are already natural children. Therefore, the psychological problems faced by foster families largely depend on what the structure (numerical and personal composition) of such a family is.
The whole civilized world of children left without parental care arranges for families. Abandoned children stay in the so-called children’s institutions for exactly as long as it takes to find them a new family. And at the same time, it is not so important whether a child is adopted or taken under guardianship – it is important that he will live at home, in a family.
At the same time, it should be noted that the problem of placing children in orphanages as such appeared in Russia only in the 20th century. Until this period, if a child became an orphan, he was, as a rule, taken in by relatives to be raised. Thus, the child continued to live in the family. The upbringing of an orphan has always been considered a charitable deed. In state institutions, children from impoverished noble families or children of the military were usually brought up. Orphanages for orphans appeared in Russia after 1917 years, in which children left without adult care were placed.
At first glance, it may seem that raising adopted children is no different from raising relatives. Indeed, the tasks of raising both relatives and foster children are the same, especially if the foster children are small. However, there are also special points that adoptive parents need to know and consider; they will need the ability to help adopted children enter the family. And it is very difficult to create conditions for adaptation so that children feel like full members of the new community.

Academy of the replacing family
in the work …
2020
Children should have parents
from 16 to 27, 2020, the preparation of citizens at the Academy replacing the Academy families”. The training of citizens was carried out by the teacher-psychologist N.V. Zaharyuta, social pedagogue O.V. Braiko, speech therapist V.M. Popov.
During the classes, citizens received information on socio-legal, psychological-pedagogical and medical-defectological issues and underwent a psychological examination in order to determine their readiness to accept children for upbringing in a family.
One of the main problems that adoptive parents face is the behavioral difficulties of children who have spent several months (and sometimes years) in an orphanage or boarding school. In the classroom, foster parents are taught how to deal with them and minimize the occurrence of possible troubles. In addition, they are told about the difficulties in adapting the child to new conditions and ways to make it easier.
Classes were held in the form of workshops, seminars. Candidates for adoptive parents were given the opportunity not only to gain knowledge from specialists, but also to share their own experience with each other. The students successfully passed the final test and received certificates of the established form, giving them the right to raise foster children in the family.
In 2020 42 citizens were trained. At the end of the course, future parents gain confidence in the correctness of their decision, make an informed choice regarding the gender and age of the child they want to take into the family.

Some parents try to keep their children away from gadgets. And someone, on the contrary, deliberately puts the student at the computer, hoping that he will become a cool IT * specialist. If you are sure that digital technologies are the future and you want your child to be a professional in this world, welcome to the TOR Computer Academy.
Summer is in full swing, but the small computer academy is already starting the autumn enrollment, in which the number of places is strictly limited. Groups of several age categories were formed: 4-6 years old; 7-8 years; 9-12 years old and 13-14 years old. Those who want to join them still have time: there are only a couple of places left in each group.
Education at the TOP Academy covers all major areas of IT. What a child is talented in, what profession he should connect his future with – the academy will reveal the potential of each student: website development, web design and programming, computer game development, animation – these are not just fashion trends, the need for such specialists is growing every year.
Every year, new interesting trends appear in the IT industry. 3D**-modeling, printing, robotics, cloud technologies, augmented and virtual reality — the computer academy teaches the most promising digital technologies. Training is conducted by practicing IT-specialists with experience working with children.
Education in “TOR” will help develop the creative potential of the child. Of course, not everyone wants to become programmers or web***-designers, but the knowledge gained will help in their studies. Information technology helps to better understand physics, mathematics, logic, natural science and develops a very good way of perceiving things. The child will be perfectly oriented in the modern digital world and will be able to stand out from their peers.
TOR Academy is also a real community. Meetings with IT specialists, hackathons, robotics competitions, various vacation programs are the everyday life of the Academy students. For the second year now, TOR has been organizing the Federal Olympiad “TOR in IT” among schoolchildren, and last summer, students from the Irkutsk branch became winners of the All-Russian Championship of Digital Technologies of the TOR Academy.

Last Updated:
When the conversation is flowing, you’re delighted as a parent because your kid is connecting with you. Your child is sharing with you what’s going on in their lives— their successes and failures, hopes and fears.
All parents want to know and help out where they can. Most parents at one time or another fall in the trap of asking the type of questions that ends with a one-word response.
Some parents may even wish they had these cue cards with the best get to know questions for kids that could transform the “fine” into a real conversation. Well, we’ve compiled a list of questions in various categories that should help you get the conversation started with your kids.
Parent-Kids Conversations Can Be Tough—But Worth It
After a challenging day, sitting at the dinner table, parents are often too tired to think of interesting questions that may get a response from their tweens and teens. So, they go through the ritual of asking the same mundane questions and barely listening to the robotic answer given by their children. Maybe things will change when they are older…
Having a parent-kid conversation can be tough, but in the end, it is worth it. By asking the right questions, you’ll trigger responses from your child that may astound you and open a world of conversation for both of you.
What’s the secret?
Closed Versus Open-Ended Conversations
“How was your day,” is the classic question parents ask, and “Fine” is the typical answer kids respond with. Who would have thought that get to know you questions for kids could be such a challenge when parenting? All you want is a conversation to see how your child is REALLY feeling, but it feels more like a sparring match..
How do you solve this dilemma? The secret is in the questions parents ask. When a parent asks an open-ended question, a child cannot easily reply with a yes or no or one-word answer. The question itself inspires elaboration.
A more interesting question motivates your child to share more.
Here is a list of open-ended questions that may help to get the conversation going again.

50+ Unique Icebreaker Questions for Kids Your Class Will Love
We all remember that first-day-of-school feeling.
As kids, there was a mix of nerves and excitement on the first day of school. How would the teachers be? Would our friends be there waiting for us after the summer? How would we get along with new classmates?
Those first few moments in the classroom are full of anticipation and can set the stage for the rest of the year.
So, how can you make sure your students are comfortable and engaged in your classroom, whether they’re learning in-person or remotely?
Many teachers point to using icebreaker questions and activities to set a fun, positive atmosphere where kids feel safe to ask questions and are excited to learn.
In fact, according to the Center for Teaching Innovation at Cornell University, using icebreakers in the classroom can benefit the students in many ways, such as:
Building rapport among the students
Preparing students for cooperative learning
Creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable enough to participate more fully
So, how can you include icebreakers in your classroom? What are some ideas for icebreaker questions, and how can you get started using them in your classroom? If you’re not returning to a physical classroom this year, how can you adapt ideas for icebreakers to a virtual classroom?
Introduce students to Prodigy Math Game, an adaptive math platform where they can explore with classmates, challenge each other and build a love of math!

But how can you introduce these icebreaker questions to your students? And how can you adapt the questions to suit different age groups?
Let’s discuss some fun icebreaker activities for different ages that can help you bring the right questions into the classroom:

Icebreakers for elementary students
For your youngest students, icebreaker activities should help guide conversations and let kids see how much they have in common, as well as how each student is unique.
Here are ideas for games that make asking icebreaker questions a fun activity for everyone, as well as some specific icebreaker questions for your elementary students:
Marco Polo with icebreaker questions
This fun twist on the classic game Marco Polo allows your students to get up and move around the classroom while getting to know one another.
In this game, one student closes their eyes and, instead of saying ‘Marco’, asks an icebreaker question from the getting-to-know-you list above.
Then, the other students must answer the question honestly, allowing the student whose eyes are closed to figure out where they are and tag them.
When a student is tagged, they take a turn closing their eyes and asking an icebreaker question.
Getting-to-know-you chain
This game helps students see how much they have in common with their classmates.
One student starts by asking who else in the classroom shares a quality, like, dislike, etc. with them. For example:
Who has an older brother like me?
Who likes baseball like me?
Who is an only child like me?
Who likes chocolate ice cream like me?
Whose favorite superhero is Spiderman like me?
The student asks these types of questions until they find at least two other students who have something in common with them. These two hold hands with the first student on either side to form a chain.
Then, the students at the end of the ‘chain’ must ask similar questions to find students who share something in common with them.
This continues until the whole classroom is linked together in the chain.
(For a socially-distanced version of this game, have the students stand in a row with space in between them instead of holding hands.)
For more online getting-to-know-you icebreaker activities, check out the video below:
Favorite animal sounds
Every little kid has their favorite animal. But how many students in your classroom have the same favorite animal?
In this game, ask each student to think of their favorite animal. Then, they must make the sound of that animal.
As the students all make animal sounds, each student must group together with the other students in the classroom making the same animal sound. While some kids may be shy about this at first, soon your classroom will erupt in a cacophony of crazy animal sounds.
This fun animal game gets kids moving and being silly together, helping them shake off those first-day jitters and feel comfortable with each other.
Icebreaker questions for elementary students
If you could get rid of one food forever, what would it be?
What’s one food you love that most people hate?
What’s one food you hate that most people love?
What’s your favorite thing to do after school?
If you could keep any animal as a pet, what would it be?
Icebreakers for middle school students
Middle schoolers are a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more self-conscious. Those first-day nerves may be even worse for middle school students, meaning you’ll need to work even harder to make icebreaker questions a fun first-day activity (not another embarrassing middle school moment they’ll remember forever).
Here are some fun icebreaker games you can play with middle schoolers, as well as a few questions that are specific to this age group:
Chip in
This game helps students answer questions by making it a game, but also gives students the option not to answer if they’re embarrassed or shy.
You can also allow students to submit questions they would like to answer themselves or know about their peers — vetted by you, of course. This could help give them greater comfort knowing what questions could be asked.
Start by printing off your chosen icebreaker questions on cards and putting them all into a hat or box.
Students gather in a circle, and each starts the game with 10 of something, such as marbles, coins, or game chips.
The goal: Get rid of all your chips as soon as you can.
The first player draws a question from the box and reads it out loud. If they answer the question, they put a chip in the middle of the circle. If they choose to pass and not answer the question, they must take a chip. Whenever a student passes on a question, another student can “steal” the question by putting their chip in the middle of the circle and answering the question themselves.
Whoever gets rid of their chips first wins, which helps encourage all the students to answer questions and thus get to know each other better.
Fidget spinner icebreaker game
Love them or hate them, fidget spinners have become more popular than ever. But now you can use them to break the ice with your middle schoolers.
Have your students sit in a circle in the classroom with the fidget spinner in the middle. One student gets to spin the fidget spinner. Most spinners have three wings, so when it stops, it will be pointing at three students in the circle.
The student who spun the spinner gets to choose an icebreaker question (or pull one from the box, if you’ve printed them out), and the three students the spinner is pointing to must answer the question.
Check out this video for even more virtual icebreakers for your middle school students:
Ice breaker questions for middle school students
If you started your own YouTube channel, what would it be called and what would your videos be about?
What’s one thing you want to learn this year (either in school or outside of it)?
Classroom icebreakers for high school students
Your high schoolers are getting older, and they’re preparing for life as adults. With that in mind, they’re probably not interested in some of the sillier icebreaker activities we discussed for younger students (although the Marco Polo with icebreaker questions and Chip In games can easily be adapted to a high school setting if the students are willing).
What other icebreakers for high school students will help the whole class feel comfortable and willing to get to know each other?
Here are some ideas, and some questions adapted to high schoolers:
Jenga questions
Because who doesn’t love Jenga?
For this game, get a Jenga set and write out an icebreaker question on each piece.
Then, gather your students to play Jenga! Whenever someone takes out a piece, they must answer the question that’s written on it.
Although Jenga has no maximum number of players, you may decide to use more than one set so that your students have a chance to answer more questions.
Introducing: You!
This icebreaker activity helps your students get to know each other right from the get-go.
Start by pairing up your class into teams of two. Then, each pair spends some time asking each other questions and getting to know each other. To help get the ball rolling, you can provide a list of getting-to-know-you icebreaker questions that your students can use.
Then, each student gets to introduce their teammate to the class using the information they gathered while chatting.
This is a fun way to help your class get to know each other and get the school year started on the right foot.
Icebreaker questions for high school students
What’s the best piece of advice someone has given you?
If money was no object, where would you choose to live?
What’s the strangest career you’ve ever heard of?
What’s one book you read that had a big impact on you, and why?
If you had to spend a month without your phone, what would you do?
Icebreaker ideas for a virtual learning setting
Unfortunately, many schools will not be able to start classes in a physical classroom this year. So, how can you introduce icebreaker activities to a virtual classroom?
Here are some ideas to help your students get to know each other and feel like they’re part of the class, even when they’re not physically together:
Would you rather game with emoji responses
Using our list of would you rather questions above (or your own list!), you can create a virtual game to get to know your students.
If you’re using a platform like Zoom where students can send emojis, have your students respond to the would you rather questions with emojis. For example:
“Would you rather go skydiving or scuba diving? If skydiving, respond with the thumbs-up emoji. If scuba diving, respond with the heart emoji.”
During the game, keep track of how students responded to each question. Then, at the end of the game, have your students guess which answers were more popular.
Muted get-to-know-you questions
This is for those kids (and teachers!) who never remember to unmute their microphones on a video call.
In this game, pick a student and ask them one of your icebreaker questions. Then, have them answer the question while they’re still on mute.
As they answer, have the rest of the students try to guess what they’re saying by reading their lips and typing their guesses in the chat. Have the student repeat the answer a few times slowly, and then see how many students got the answer right!
(For the best result, choose questions that have short or one-word answers, such as: How many siblings do you have? What’s your favorite pizza topping? How many different places have you lived?)
Respond to icebreaker questions with memes
For older students, make icebreaker questions fun by allowing them to answer the questions with their favorite memes.
Of course, you’ll need to set rules for what makes a meme inappropriate, but there are plenty of funny, clean memes that students can use to share their thoughts and feelings on icebreaker questions.
This also separates them slightly from the question, since they won’t be on the spot answering the question themselves. That slight separation could help encourage shyer students to participate more.
Respond to icebreaker questions with charades
This is a fun way for younger students to stay engaged during remote learning and feel like part of the classroom even though they’re apart.
Similar to the muted questions mentioned above, play this game by asking a student to answer an icebreaker question while muted. In this case, though, they need to act out their answer.
As they act out their answer, the rest of the students can use the chat to guess what they’re acting out.
Make back-to-school a success with fun classroom icebreakers
Whether you’re in the classroom practicing social distancing or teaching a virtual class, it’s clear that 2021 isn’t a normal school year.
Even so, these icebreaker questions and activities will help your students of all age groups get to know each other and be more comfortable participating in the class throughout the year.
Make math class exciting and introduce students to Prodigy Math Game, the online learning platform that transforms math practice into an epic adventure!
Students will explore new worlds, collect pets and earn epic in-game prizes — all while answering curriculum-aligned math questions that build key skills and address learning gaps. They can even play as a team and challenge other classmates to a math battle!

Get to know you questions for kids are simple and straight to the point questions you can use to converse with kids to know them better. Many have argued that such questions are not necessary for kids, but you will be surprised at how much goes on in the heads of these little ones.
The selections below are simple, straightforward, and would encourage any kid to open up and pour out some of their very vivid imaginations. It would also enable you to know the kind of things that occupy the kid’s mind. Most often, adults get really taken aback by how kids say the most interesting and sometimes unimaginable things.
Fun Get to Know you Questions for Kids
These first set of questions are just to give you a general idea of how the kid’s mind works. Beyond that, these are easy to imagine questions that are bound to loosen a kid up and make them open up to you. Feel free to answer some of these questions yourself to give the kid a better idea of what you want to hear from them.
1. What song makes you feel like dancing?
The way a child reacts to songs is very different from how an adult would, so if a song makes a child want to dance, it’s probably because the song sounds good to the child. Find out what song equals dancing for them and why they love that specific song over all the other songs. It could be from their favorite cartoon or from daddy’s stereo.
2. Can you count the stars in the sky?
Sounds like a wild goose chase but this is something that most children think of doing. So asking is one way to know if the kid has ever studied the sky and had some thoughts about the number of stars in the sky. Watch for their reaction, the really adventurous kid would want to give it a try.
3. What food can you eat every day for the rest of your life?
Children love to eat food but there is often that one food that they prefer above all the other foods mummy prepares at home. This most often turns out to be their favorite food. Ask them to tell you why they love this food and whether they can prepare it.
4. If a genie visits you, what would you wish for?
Start by asking the child if they believe genies are real. Then ask what they would wish for if one was standing in front of them at that moment. Remind them that a genie can grant any wish at all. Then find out why they want the genie to do what they described. Who knows, it might be something you can help them achieve after all.
5. What does a cow say?
This might sound very easy but remember that the kid learned a lot of animal sounds in school. This question will tell you how well they remember what they learned in school or what they heard on tv.
6. If you had a secret hideout, what would you hide there?
Most kids often have a secret hiding place at home that they often go to when they want to play. These hideouts also contain some of their very valued possessions. Ask the child what they would love to hide in their secret hideout and why they want that thing hidden.
7. Can you describe the color green without saying green?
That’s right, sometimes a child’s senses are stimulated by the things they see. If you asked a child to describe green without saying green, most often, the word leaf comes to play. However, some kids will shock you with even more vivid descriptions of things that remind them of the color green.
8. Would you be angry if mommy ate your chocolates and candy?
Chocolate and sweets are things most children prefer not to share. So if you end up eating a child’s chocolate, be ready to have them cry about it. However, when it’s a cherished person like mommy, their reactions might differ depending on how old they are. Go ahead and ask to find out how much the kid loves his mom or is willing to share.
9. Would you rather sleep during the day and play at night?
Children’s minds work in the funniest way at times. With a question like this, you get to find out how the child’s mind works especially if they have often been forced to go to bed early when they still want to play. Have them describe how the change of routine will happen and whether they will go to school at night too.
10. If you could rename a pineapple, what would you call it?
You’ll sometimes hear kids asking why a thing is called this or that. Start by asking what they think about the name pineapple. Then give the kid an opportunity to rename a pineapple and listen to what they come up with. This will tell you how creative they are with words and give the kid an opportunity to express themselves.
School Get to Know you Questions for Kids
A good deal of a kid’s life revolves around their school activities and the things they learn there. For this reason, it makes sense that questions about school will give you a lot of insight into a child. The questions below will not only help you know the kid better but will also tell you how much they enjoy their time in school and the kind of company they keep there.
11. Who is your favorite teacher in school?
Every kid has a favorite teacher. It could be because the teacher is nice to them or because they protect them from bullies or even because they get treats from the said teacher. Find out why this teacher is their best and then ask them to describe him or her.
12. What is your least favorite subject in school?
Some subjects give kids a very tough time in school and often make them want to skip school. Ask the kid what subject they dislike the most and why. This will help any parent find solutions especially if the kid has been flunking the subject.
13. What period would you skip if you could?
While many would expect this to be a hard subject, you may be surprised at what the answer is. Depending on the kid’s temperament, his age, and the kind of company he keeps, some kids prefer to skip the break, PE, and library periods. Between subjects and extracurriculars this question should tell you what aspect of the school is the most fun for the kid.
14. Who is your best friend in school?
You definitely want to know who your kid’s best friend in school is. This will give an idea about the kind of people they hang out with. Remember that the kind of friends they keep will have a lot of impact on their characters and behavior in the long run. You want to make to get a description of some of the things they do with this best friend.
15. Who do you often share your lunch with at school?
While many will expect the answer here to be their best friend, you may be surprised to find that it is not. Find out who they share with and then ask why they share with this person and whether the person shares their own lunch too. Their answer could reveal more than they know to a discerning adult.
16. If you were the head of your school for one day, what would you have everyone do?
You will have a field day with this one. Start by asking if they would ever want to be in charge of their whole school. If they say yes, then ask what they would change if they were in charge for just one day. This will open your eyes to either the flaws they notice in school, the dreams they have, or even how far their imaginations can go.
17. Who is the naughtiest person in your class?
Every class has a naughty gang. These are the kids that often create the most disturbance and distract the others. Ask them who the naughtiest is so in their class and why they think this person is naughty. Go further to ask if they think they can ever be friends with the naughty kid.
18. What book did your teacher read to you in school today?
This is simply a test of how much attention your kid pays in class and how well they remember things. Asking what book was read would be the simple part, also ask them to tell you what they remember about the story that was read. Then ask what they learned from it to ensure that they exercise their cognitive abilities.
19. Have you ever gotten into trouble in school?
The essence of asking your kid if they have ever gotten into trouble in school is often not because you don’t know they have been in trouble. It is to test how well they open up to you. Go right ahead and ask what they did that got them in trouble and see whether they admit to the mistakes they made. Their answer will tell you whether you have work to do or not.
20. Are there bullies in your school?
Most often, bullies do not admit that they are bullies in school. Still, go ahead and ask the question and give the kid the opportunity to prove you wrong. If you know for a fact that the child is a bully, have them describe any trouble incident they have been involved in and use it to point out facts to them and teach them to do better. At the end of this, ask them to ask their classmates what they think he/she is a bully.
General Get to Know You Questions for Kids
These are questions of basic everyday life that most kids should know the answer to. The essence here is to help you understand how capable a child is or what they are likely to be able to do in cases of emergency. This will tell you how much a child knows about the happenings at home and how responsibilities are handled by their parents. Their answers whether yes or no in each case can equally help them be more curious.

21. What is your father’s name?
Simple as it sounds, you’ll find that a lot of kids do not know their parents’ names because they often call them Mommy and daddy. Ask the kid to give their father’s full name. This will ensure that in cases of emergency, or if the kid ever finds themselves alone, they can give necessary info regarding who their parents are. This also tells you if the kid has been paying attention to little details at home.
22. What does your mother do for a living?
Most kids often think their mother’s job is to stay home, cook, and take care of them. While this is true in some ways, it is also a half-truth because most women are no longer just housewives. This question will tell you how much the child knows about how the home is taken care of and what their mother does after dropping them off at school. This will also tell you how much information a child can supply about their family in cases of emergency.
23. Do you attend the same school as all your siblings?
This would be very easy to answer if all the kids attend the same school. If the answer is no, however, go further to ask about the name of the school their other siblings attend and whether they know why they are not in the same school as their siblings.
24. Do you have a pet?
Children love pets and are often eager to get one. The answer to this question will tell you the kind of family the kid comes from, but go further and ask how the name of their pet and how they care for it. This will help you understand their home routines and how capable they are especially if they care for their pets themselves.
25. Do you help mommy out in the kitchen?
While some kids are always around their mothers ready and willing to help out with the chores, some other kids would rather be out in the open playing with friends and a lot more prefer to just be in their rooms. The answer to this question will tell you how close a child is to their mother but will also tell you how perceptive they are at their age to understand that mommy needs help and to offer it.
26. If your favorite toy could hear you, what would you say to it?
Children often get very attached to their favorite toys. In some cases, you will hear them having very serious conversations with the toy. Asking a child to tell you what they would say to their toy if it could hear them is just like asking them to share their secrets with you. So start by sharing yours and then let them share theirs. This will reveal some of the things they think of as important.
27. Do you like ice cream?
What child doesn’t like ice cream right? Well, the essence of this question is to know how different a child is. If most children love ice cream, it stands to reason that one who does not love ice cream is different. Find out why they do not like it and ask what they would rather have in place of ice cream. This will help you know what to get that kid next time you want to give them a treat.
28. If you could be any animal, which animal would you choose?
The fact that a lot of what we wish for as children never actually happen has not stopped any child from making wishes. Start by asking them if they would rather be an animal and then ask what animal they would like to be. Also, find out why want to be that animal and then educate them on anything they do not know about the animal. But be careful not to shatter their childish imaginations in the process.
29. What is your favorite color?
Colors are intriguing to kids and as such, when a child loves a particular color, you will find that they want whatever you buy for them to be in that color. For this reason, it is often clear what a child’s favorite color is. But still, go ahead and ask to know if they recognize it themselves. If the child is aware of what their favorite color is, they likely also understand why they have a lot of clothes and toys in that color.
30. What do you dream of at night?
The essence of this question is to know how much attention to detail a child has because even adults a lot of people do not remember their dreams once they wake up. So if a child can describe to you what they dream about in good detail, they definitely have a good memory.
Intuitive Get to Know you Questions for Kids
As you ask these questions, don’t be scared to let the child exercise their minds and stretch their imaginations. Give them plenty of time to explain exactly what they mean and as much as you can, try not to supply the words to them, let them come up with it themselves. The essence is to see how far their imaginations go and the values they have at their age.
31. What is your favorite joke?
This question requires a good deal of narration and as such, it will tell you how well the kid can describe events or tell a story. Start by asking what their favorite joke is and where they heard it. Then listen to them tell you the joke in their own way.
32. What superpower would you like to have?
Most children who watch cartoons often have a favorite superhero who they wish they had his powers. Ask what this superpower is and why they want it. Then ask them to give you details of what they would use it for. Pay close attention to whether the superpower is from a hero or from a villain. If it is from a villain, try to understand why they feel that strongly for a supposed bad character.
33. Why do we wear clothes?
As simple as the answer to this question is, it is not that obvious to children. How a kid answers this question will tell you how developed their sense of reasoning is and how much they know about life in general. You can start by asking if they can go to school naked.
34. What will you change about yourself?
This might sound deep for an adult but children might give you simple answers that pertain particularly to their looks, their hairstyle, and general things around the house. The answer will help you know better what a kid thinks of himself and the people around him.
35. Who is your favorite, mommy or daddy?
The phrases daddy’s girl and mummy’s boy do not exist for things. Most kids have a favorite parent and this begins mostly when they are still very little.

Create better communication with your children by asking them engaging questions to get them to open up and talk with these get-to-know-you questions for kids.
Kids can seem like tiny adults sometimes. They have their own set of likes and dislikes, opinions, social circles, and even personal baggage. There’s a lot going on behind those big eyes and small voices, but getting to know kids can feel like a challenge sometimes.
They tend to shy away from certain questions and give short answers if you don’t phrase your queries the right way.
Getting kids to open up about themselves can be tricky. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can get them talking so that you learn more about who they are as people: by asking the right questions!
In this blog post, I’ll give you some great examples of questions that parents have asked in order to get to know their children better.
Why Kids Don’t Talk Much After School
Did you know that kids under the age of 13 will talk up to 10,000 words per day? That’s a lot of talking! In fact, it’s the most talking that any human does in a day. And after that, there’s a gradual decline in talking. Most people will talk 500 words per day by the age of 60.
When kids are young, they’re curious and eager to learn about the world. Curious children are likely to ask questions and talk about what interests them.
As they grow up and become more mature, they spend time exploring the world and learning new skills. This means they’re less likely to talk and more likely to be reserved.
General Questions to Ask Kids To Start a Conversation
These questions can assist you whether you’re a teacher who wants to learn more about your kids or a parent who is perplexed by a child’s behavior, or simply a parent who needs some questions to ask at the dinner table.
Don’t feel terrible — kids can be difficult to understand (where are the directions when you need them?). These are great all about me questions for kids.

Why We Should Engage Our Kids With Questions
When I understand why certain habits exist, I find it much simpler to be inspired to take action. So, before I offer you a list of my question ideas, let me give you some background on why these questions are so important.
Rare words are highlighted in quick, vigorous interactions between children and adults, according to research. Errors are addressed by asking open-ended questions and repeating them appropriately.
The development of expressive vocabulary in children has also been enhanced. This is in line with Vygotsky’s belief that children learn best via connection with others.
Language development experts shed light on how this could be achieved, offering some suggestions for how parents can support language development when speaking with their children:
Use a wide vocabulary, discuss the children’s hobbies, offer open-ended inquiries, take turns listening and responding, and ask thought-provoking questions.
These recommendations may appear straightforward, yet they may have a significant impact. Even though they are simple, they are not easy to complete. Having a handy list of questions on hand may help the process go much more smoothly.
So, without further ado, here are some questions you may ask your children to help them develop their language skills and strengthen their relationships.

why It’s Important To Ask Our Kids Engaging Questions
Asking children engaging questions will help them to express themselves, build confidence and connect with others. It’s a great way to spark a conversation with kids and can also be used as a behavioural tool to help them solve problems.
Some of the questions you ask children can be used as tools to help them think through what they want to do in a given situation. For example, if your child is having trouble sleeping, you can ask them what they think would help them to relax; then, act on their suggestion.
Asking your kids engaging questions can also be a great way to help them solve their own problems. For example, if your child is having difficulty with a homework assignment, you can ask them what they’ve tried and what they think will work best.
How To Use Open Ended Questions With Kids
Open-ended questions let kids express their feelings, thoughts and ideas without being given a “right” answer. In other words, these types of questions encourage the child to talk.
Examples of open-ended questions include: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, “What was the best thing that happened to you today?”, “What was the worst thing that happened to you today?”, “What do you like to do with your friends?”, “What are you good at?” Once a child is comfortable talking to you, they’ll start to offer up more information about themselves. This can be helpful when you’re trying to get to know a child better.
What Are Closed Questions and Why Should We Ask Those
Closed questions are short and direct. They’re often used to get specific information, like a phone number or the time. They’re also used as “trap” questions, where there is only one correct answer.
Examples of closed questions include: “What school do you go to?”, “Do you like your teacher?”, “What time is your curfew?”, “What’s your favourite colour?” Closed questions are useful when you want to know specific details about a child’s life.
Conclusion
Asking children engaging questions can help you to understand them better and connect with them on a deeper level. They’ll be more comfortable around you if they know you have an interest in what they have to say.
Children love to talk about themselves and their interests, so there’s no shortage of things to discuss with them. All you have to do is ask!

Games and exercises aimed at getting children to know each other, creating positive emotions, developing empathy.
| Card file (preparatory group) on the topic:
GAMES AND EXERCISES AIMED TO GET TO KNOW CHILDREN WITH EACH OTHER, CREATE POSITIVE EMOTIONS, DEVELOP EMPATH.
In preschool childhood for the first time there is an activity free from the influence of adults – communication with peers. The rate of development of the child, his sense of self, self-esteem, attitude towards other people depends on how successfully this communication develops. A preschooler cannot do without peers, however, his communication with them without the help of adults almost always turns out to be ineffective. A child must be taught to express his emotions and desires, to sympathize and help another person, to adequately get out of a conflict situation, to put up, to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
“Name yourself.”
Purpose: allows participants to get to know each other, get used to, adapt to the new environment.
Course of the game: The exercise is carried out in a circle. Each participant calls himself by name (if he wants, he can tell something about himself).
Snowball
Purpose: allows children to quickly remember each other’s names, to establish contact.
Game progress: The first participant (for example, to the left of the leader) says his name. The next one repeats it, and calls his own. And so in a circle. The exercise ends when the first participant names the entire group
“Affectionate name.”
Purpose: The exercise also allows children to remember each other’s names, helps to create a comfortable environment for each participant.
Instruction: “Remember how affectionately you are called at home. We will throw the ball to each other. And the one to whom the ball hits calls one or more of his affectionate names. In addition, it is important to remember who threw the ball to each of you. When all the children call their affectionate names, the ball will go in the opposite direction. Now you need to try not to confuse and throw the ball to the one who first threw it to you, and, in addition, pronounce his affectionate name.
“Let’s say hello.”
Purpose: development of imagination, creation of a psychologically relaxed atmosphere.
Game progress: At the beginning of the exercise, the facilitator talks about different ways of greeting, accepted and joking. Then the children are invited to say hello by touching their shoulder, back, hand, nose, cheek, invent their own unusual way of greeting for today’s lesson and say hello through it.
“Stand up, those who…”
Purpose: develops observation skills, allows children to get to know each other better. Game progress: The host gives the task: “Stand up those who …
• likes to run;
• enjoys good weather;
• has a younger sister;
• likes to give flowers, etc.
If desired, children can take the role of leader. After the end, everyone is asked questions summing up the results of the game: “Now we will see who in our group turned out to be the most attentive. Who in our group likes sweets? Who has a younger sister? Then the questions become more difficult (include two variables): “Who in our group likes sweets and has a younger sister?”. Each question is addressed to a specific child, if he cannot answer himself, the group helps him.
“Imagine your name in motion.” (from 6 years old)
Purpose: the game helps children remember the names of their comrades, evokes positive emotions and forms a sense of group unity. In this exercise, everyone gets a chance to express themselves and draw attention to themselves.
Game progress: Children sit in a circle. Alternately, clockwise, the children make gestures that suggest their name. The exercise is more effective if you ask everyone to repeat names and body movements.
“Introduce yourself with a doll.” (from 5 years old)
Purpose: helps relieve tension and insecurity, allows children to get to know each other better.
Material: two dolls of different sex, preferably in the growth of a child, or glove dolls.
Game progress: The child is asked to introduce himself with the help of a doll and tell about himself. The facilitator and children can ask questions, clarify. For example: What is your favorite game? How to play it? Favorite animal? Why? The most delicious food in the world? What do you dream about? etc.
“Transitions.”
Purpose: the game draws attention to the appearance of children, makes it possible to realize external similarities and differences.
Game progress:
A) The teacher asks the children to look at each other carefully: “You all have different hair colors. Now switch places, so that the one with the lightest hair sits on the far right on this chair, next to him – who has darker hair, and on the far right, on this chair, is the one with the darkest hair. We started…” An adult helps the children, approaches everyone, touches their hair, consults with the others where to seat him, etc.
B) The task is the same as in the previous version, only the children should change places according to eye color.
“Describe a friend.”
Purpose: development of observation and the ability to describe external details.
Course of the game: the exercise is performed in pairs (simultaneously by all participants). Children stand with their backs to each other and take turns describing the hairstyle, clothes and face of their partner. Then the description is compared with the original and a conclusion is made about how accurate the child is.
“What has changed?”
Purpose: development of attention and observation necessary for effective communication.
Game progress: Each child in turn becomes the leader. The driver leaves the room. During this time, several changes are made in clothes, children’s hairstyles, you can move to another place (but not more than 2 – 3 changes; all changes made must be visible). The task of the driver is to notice the changes that have taken place.
“My mood.”
Goal: developing the ability to describe one’s mood, recognize the mood of others, stimulate empathy.
Course of the game: Children are invited to tell others about their mood: it can be drawn, it can be compared with any color, animal, physical condition, show it in motion. It all depends on the imagination and desire of the child.
“Transmission of feelings.”
Purpose: to teach children to convey various emotional states in a non-verbal way.
Course of the game: The child is given the task to convey a certain feeling “along the chain” with the help of facial expressions, gestures, touches. When the children passed it around in a circle, you can discuss what kind of mood was intended. Then anyone can become the leader. If one of the children wants to be the leader, but does not know what mood to think of, the teacher can help him by coming up and prompting some mood in his ear.
“Colors of emotions.”
Purpose: development of imagination, expressive movements.
Course of the game: The driver is chosen, on a signal he closes his eyes, and the rest of the participants think of one of the primary colors among themselves. When the driver opens his eyes, all participants, by their behavior, mainly emotional, try to depict this color without naming it, and the driver must guess it. You can divide into two teams, while one team will depict the color (alternately or simultaneously), and the second will guess.
“Quiet conversation.”
Purpose: formation of the ability to convey certain semantic content in a non-verbal way.
Game progress: Participants sit in a circle. The task is to non-verbally say a phrase to the chosen partner (which the adult previously whispered in the child’s ear). Everyone takes turns doing the task without words. The rest observe and determine the “spoken” phrase.
“Collect the pictogram.”
Purpose: develops the ability to differentiate various emotional states according to mimic manifestations.
Game progress: Each child is given a pictogram of a certain emotional state, cut into several parts. The task of the participants is to assemble the pictogram as quickly and correctly as possible. Alternatively, you can depict this state with pantomime yourself.
“Gift for a friend.”
Purpose: to develop the ability to non-verbally “describe” objects.
Course of the game: One child becomes a “birthday boy”, the rest give him “gifts”, conveying their attitude towards the “birthday boy” with movements and facial expressions.
“Hands make friends, hands quarrel, hands make up.”
Purpose: correlation of a person and his tactile image, removal of bodily barriers; developing the ability to express one’s feelings and understand the feelings of another through touch.
Course of the game: The exercise is performed in pairs, with eyes closed, children sit opposite each other at arm’s length. An adult gives tasks (each task is completed 2-3 minutes):
♦ Close your eyes, stretch your hands towards each other, get to know each other with one hand. Try to get to know your neighbor better. Put your hands down.
♦ Stretch your arms forward again, find your neighbor’s hands. Your hands are quarreling. Put your hands down.
♦ Your hands are looking for each other again. They want to reconcile. Your hands make up, they ask for forgiveness, you are friends again.
Discuss how the exercise went, what feelings arose during the exercise, what did you like more?
“Pass a smile around.”
Purpose: fulfillment of the group rule, exchange of experiences.
Game progress: group members are invited to hold hands, shake them, smile at a neighbor.
“I’m sitting, I’m sitting on a stone.”
Purpose: development of empathy, the ability to express support for another person (peer).
Course of the game: Players stand in a round dance and sing, and one (or several) squat in a circle, covering their heads with a handkerchief.
I’m sitting, I’m sitting on a stone,
I’m sitting on fuel,
And who really loves me,
And who will replace me,
Will change me, change me,
After these words, anyone can come up and stroke the person sitting in a circle on the head, hug, say affectionate words (sip). Then he himself sits in a circle and covers his head with a handkerchief. The next wisher “doves” him.
“Emotions of heroes.”
Purpose: to promote the development of empathy, the ability to assess the situation and the behavior of others.
Game progress: An adult reads a fairy tale to the children. The child is given small cards in advance with symbolic images of various emotional states. In the process of reading, the child puts several cards on the table, which, in his opinion, reflect the emotional state of the hero in various situations. At the end of the reading, each child explains in what situation and why it seems to him that the hero was cheerful, sad, etc. It is better to play this game either individually or in a small subgroup. The text of the fairy tale should be small and correspond to the amount of attention and memory of children of a certain age group.
Study for various positions in communication.
Goal: feeling different positions in communication.
Game progress: Children are divided into pairs. Communication in pairs takes place in a dialogue mode. For communication, interesting and relevant topics for children are offered: “My favorite animal”, “My happiest day last month”, etc. First, the communication situation is organized when both children sit facing each other, then one child sits on a chair, and the other stands near his chair (children change places), then the partners, sitting on a chair with their backs to each other, continue the conversation. In conclusion, the children are asked about the impression, the mood that arose in the process of communication: how did you like to communicate more, why?
“Intonation.”
Purpose: development of understanding and feeling for each other in children, differentiation of auditory perception, development of empathy.
Game progress: The host introduces the concept of intonation. Then the children are invited to take turns repeating various phrases with different feelings, with different intonation (evil, joyfully, thoughtfully, with resentment). Alternatively, you can play intonation and discuss the dialogue of fairy-tale characters.
“Drawing.”
Purpose: development of empathy, creative imagination.
Course of the game: The children are given the task – “Draw a kind animal and call it an affectionate name, reward it with some magical means of understanding.” Drawing is carried out to quiet, calm music, paints or bright crayons, felt-tip pens. Then there is a competition for the kindest animal. As a jury, you can invite children from another group. The winner is awarded a cardboard medal – a smiley face.
“Exercises to relieve psycho-emotional stress in children for use in pedagogical practice”
Exercise “Compliment.” conducted as follows:
1. Children stand in a circle. The palm of the right hand is placed on the palm of the left hand of the neighbor standing on the right. The palm of the left hand is substituted under the right palm of the neighbor standing on the left.
2. At the teacher’s signal, the children take turns complimenting the child on the right. Compliments should not be repeated. A compliment is uttered with a smile, you need to look into the eyes of the child to whom it is intended.
This exercise can later be included in various modifications in all classes.
Exercise “Wizards.”
– Do you remember the fairy tale about Cinderella?
Do you remember how her fairy aunt helped her, and she could make a carriage out of a pumpkin? From a rat – a coachman? Let’s try to make extraordinary things out of ordinary things. For this, nothing needs to be said, but shown with movements.
A pencil can become a telescope, a sheet of paper can become a mirror. In general, who comes up with what. The main thing is not to say anything, only to show. The rest must guess what the object is and name it. Let’s start.
The facilitator picks up an object, such as a sheet of paper, and looks into it as if in a mirror, straightens hair, etc. Then passes it to the child. He must change the essence of the object and “turn” it into something else. Then, when the children guess what it is, the item is passed to the next player. Thus, the object is passed in a circle. In total, 3-4 items are used (paper, ball, stick, piece of cloth, etc.).
– Thank you. You were all great wizards.
Exercise “Yes or no.”
The players stand in a circle and hold hands, the leader is in the center. He explains the task: if they agree with the statement, then they raise their hands up and shout: “Yes!” If they don’t agree with the statement, then stomp and yell “No!”

Final exercise “Flying Carpet”
Sit comfortably (lotus position). Today we will go on a journey on a magic carpet. In order for the flying carpet to rise into the air, you need to relax. You know how to do it. Lie on your back. Close your eyes. We relax our legs. Warmth rises from the tips of the fingers, legs are heavy. Hands warm up. Warmth radiates from the fingertips up the arm. Hands are heavy and warm. The body is relaxed. Heat from the arms, legs goes to the stomach, chest, back. Her face relaxed, her mouth opened. Rest. And now your flying carpet is slowly rising up. And you are already flying.
And now you are flying over a huge lake, seagulls are circling over it and over you. Near the shore, boats are rocking on the waves, you fly further. Clouds are moving above you in the blue sky. One cloud looks like a fluffy bunny, the other looks like a big ball of white cotton wool, here is a very small cloud that looks like a white kitten. The carpet slowly falls to the ground. You are in a blooming garden.
There are many flowers around, they nod at you with their cooking. You are walking along the garden path. You stepped out onto the lawn. Children play ball. The ball rolls towards your feet. You pick up the ball, toss it high, and the ball goes up. But what is it? You are flying too. Fly yourself. No flying carpet. You spread your arms. You soar like a bird. Here is a familiar lake, seagulls greet you, flap their wings. The fisherman sits in the boat. He looks at you, waves his hand to you. You fly further.
Fluffy white kitten-cloud flies nearby. Here is our kindergarten. You are slowly descending. The kitten is chasing after you. And here you are. A warm kitten lies on your stomach, purring. Listen to him purr. Stroke it gently with your right hand. Now stroke it with your left hand. Stretch, open your eyes. Take the kitten in your hands. Affectionately. Sit down, make the kitten sit next to you. Pat him on the head.

All these actions are necessary in order to develop in children a conditioned reflex to fall asleep. If an adult does this correctly, then the children literally relax before our eyes and quickly go to sleep. And the baby’s sleep itself will be calm and long.
Lullabies do not have to be sung, you can sincerely and affectionately pronounce the words, whisper. An important point: having laid all the children, the adult sits in a chair and relaxes. This condition is transmitted to children, and they fall asleep faster.

Straighten your back, straighten your shoulders. You are beautiful. Close your eyes. Let’s breathe like birds. Inhale – exhale. After inhaling, say to yourself: “I am a swan!” The neck of the swan is tense, extended, the back is proud, straight. Spread your arms wide – wings, wider, smoothly … Well done! Bend your knees a little, strain them and ..straighten sharply… Deep breath and.. Oh, miracle! We took off! … Inhale-exhale … (3 p.) You can freely flap your wings. The body is like a feather, light, we do not feel it at all. How happy and free! Clear and blue sky around, pleasant coolness … silence … peace. Inhale-exhale. Below us, like a mirror, the lake shines. You can look and see yourself in it. What a beautiful bird! Inhale – exhale. We fly smoothly, we like it and are not at all afraid.

Relaxation exercises in work with children.
Today’s preschoolers are sometimes as busy as adults. Visiting a kindergarten, various clubs and sports sections, they get a lot of information, get tired physically and emotionally. After all, you need to be in time everywhere!
Such loads have a negative impact on the health of children. Therefore, it is so important to use relaxation exercises when working with preschoolers.
Active lifestyle, frequent family and work stresses often lead to overexertion, bad mood and, as a result, to depression. You need to learn how to relax and use the means of relaxation and meditation to combat “overload”. But what to do if a very small child is overstressed, overexcited and it is difficult to calm down after active games and communication? How to defeat children’s hyperexcitability?
For some reason, it is generally accepted that relaxation and meditation methods are shown only to adults. In fact, this is not entirely true. Yes, frankly, it is difficult to explain to a three-year-old child what meditation is. Therefore, the relaxation of preschool children requires a special look and approach. The main thing is to use it correctly and skillfully.
The nervous system of a preschool child is far from perfect. It is difficult for children to control the processes of excitation and inhibition of the nervous system. This explains restless sleep or problems with falling asleep after active games. First of all, this applies to active children. But, despite this, there are many ways by which you can calm the “loosened” child.
To develop a child’s emotional stability, it is important to teach him to control his body. In the process of development, education and training, children receive a huge amount of information that they need to learn. Active mental activity and accompanying emotional experiences create excessive excitation in the nervous system, which, accumulating, leads to tension in the muscles of the body. The ability to relax allows you to eliminate anxiety, agitation, stiffness, restores strength, increases energy.
Relaxation (from Latin relaxation – weakening, relaxation) – deep muscle relaxation, accompanied by the removal of mental stress. Relaxation can be both involuntary and voluntary, achieved as a result of the use of special psychophysiological techniques.
Relaxation exercises with concentration on the breath:
“Blow out the candle”.
Inhale deeply, drawing as much air into the lungs as possible. Then, stretching out your lips with a tube, exhale slowly, as if blowing on a candle, while pronouncing the sound “u” for a long time.
“Lazy kitty”.
Raise your arms up, then stretch forward, stretch like a cat. Feel how the body stretches. Then sharply lower your hands down, pronouncing the sound “a”.
Facial Relaxation Exercises:
Playful Cheeks.
Take in air by puffing out your cheeks. Hold your breath, slowly exhale the air, as if blowing out a candle. Relax your cheeks. Then close your lips with a tube, inhale the air, drawing it in. The cheeks are retracted. Then relax your cheeks and lips.
Locked mouth.
Purse your lips so that they are not visible at all. Close your mouth with a “lock”, tightly squeezing your lips. Then relax them:
I have a secret, I won’t tell you, no (purse your lips).
Oh, how hard it is to resist without saying anything (4–5 s).
Still, I will relax my lips, and keep the secret for myself.
“Evil has calmed down.”
Tighten the jaw, stretching the lips and exposing the teeth. Roar with all your might. Then take a few deep breaths, stretch, smile and yawn with your mouth wide open:
And when I get very angry, I tense up, but I hold on.
I squeeze my jaw tightly and scare everyone with a growl (growl).
For anger to fly away and the whole body to relax,
You need to take a deep breath, stretch, smile,
Maybe even yawn (with your mouth wide open, yawn).
Neck relaxation exercises:
Curious Barbara.
Starting position: standing, feet shoulder-width apart, arms down, head straight. Turn your head to the left, then to the right. Inhale-exhale. The movement is repeated 2 times in each direction. Then return to the starting position, relax the muscles:
Curious Varvara looks left, looks right.
And then forward again – here you will rest a little.
Raise your head up, look at the ceiling for as long as possible. Then return to the starting position, relax the muscles:
And Varvara looks up the longest and farthest!
Coming back – relaxing is nice!
Slowly lower your head down, press your chin to your chest. Then return to the starting position, relax the muscles:
Now let’s look down – the neck muscles are tensed!
We are coming back – relaxation is nice!
Arm muscle relaxation exercises:
Lemon.
Put your hands down and imagine that there is a lemon in your right hand, from which you need to squeeze the juice. Slowly clench your right hand as tightly as possible into a fist. Feel how tense your right hand is. Then throw the “lemon” and relax your hand:
I will take a lemon in my palm.
I feel that it is round.
I squeeze it lightly –
I squeeze the lemon juice.
All right, juice is ready.
I throw a lemon, relax my hand.
Perform the same exercise with the left hand.
“Pair” (alternate movement with tension and relaxation of the arms).
Standing opposite each other and touching the partner’s forward palms, straighten your right arm with tension, thereby bending the partner’s left arm at the elbow. At the same time, the left hand bends at the elbow, while the partner straightens.
“Vibration”.
What a wonderful day today!
We will drive away longing and laziness.
They shook their hands.
Here we are healthy and vigorous.
Leg relaxation exercises:
“Deck”.
Imagine yourself on a ship. Shakes. In order not to fall, you need to spread your legs wider and press them to the floor. Clasp your hands behind your back. The deck rocked – transfer the body weight to the right leg, press it to the floor (the right leg is tense, the left is relaxed, slightly bent at the knee, the toe touches the floor). Straighten up. Relax your leg. It swung in the other direction – to press the left leg to the floor. Straighten up! Inhale-exhale!
It’s time to rock the deck! Press your foot to the deck!
Press the leg tighter and relax the other.
“Horses”.
Our legs flashed,
We will jump along the path.
But be careful,
Don’t forget what to do!
“Elephant”.
Place your feet firmly, then imagine yourself as an elephant. Slowly transfer the body weight to one leg, and raise the other high and lower it to the floor with a “roar”. Move around the room, alternately raising each leg and lowering it with a kick of the foot on the floor. Breathe out “Wow!”
Relaxation exercises for the whole body:
Snowman.
Children imagine that each of them is a snowman. Huge, beautiful, which was fashioned from the snow. She has a head, a torso, two arms sticking out to the sides, and she stands on strong legs. Beautiful morning, the sun is shining. Here it begins to bake, and the snowman begins to melt. Next, the children depict how the snowman melts. First the head melts, then one hand, then the other. Gradually, little by little, the body begins to melt. The snowman turns into a puddle that spreads on the ground.
Birds.
Children imagine that they are little birds. They fly through the fragrant summer forest, inhale its aromas and admire its beauty. So they sat down on a beautiful wild flower and breathed in its light aroma, and now they flew to the highest linden, sat on its crown and felt the sweet smell of a flowering tree. But a warm summer breeze blew, and the birds, along with its impulse, rushed to the murmuring forest stream. Sitting on the edge of the stream, they cleaned their feathers with their beaks, drank clean, cool water, splashed and again rose up. And now we will land in the most comfortable nest in a forest clearing.
Bell.
Children lie on their backs. They close their eyes and relax to the sound of the lullaby “Fluffy Clouds”. “Awakening” takes place to the sound of a bell.
“Summer day”.
Children lie on their back, relaxing all the muscles and closing their eyes. Relaxation passes to the sound of calm music:
I’m lying in the sun,
But I don’t look at the sun.
Close the eyes, the eyes rest.
The sun strokes our faces,
May we have a good dream.
Suddenly we hear: bom-bom-bom!
Thunder came out for a walk.
Thunder rumbles like a drum.
“Slow motion”.
Children sit closer to the edge of the chair, lean on the back, put their hands freely on their knees, legs slightly apart, close their eyes and sit quietly for a while, listening to slow, quiet music:
Everyone can dance, jump, run, draw.
But not everyone knows how to relax and have a rest.
We have a game like this – very easy, simple.
Movement slows down, tension disappears.
And it becomes clear – relaxation is pleasant!
Silence.
Hush, hush, hush!
You can’t talk!
We are tired – we need to sleep – we will lie quietly on the bed,
And we will sleep quietly.
Children like these exercises very much because they have an element of play. They quickly learn this difficult ability to relax.
By learning to relax, every child gets what they previously lacked. This applies equally to any mental processes: cognitive, emotional or volitional. In the process of relaxation, the body redistributes energy in the best possible way and tries to bring the body to balance and harmony.
Relaxing, excited, restless children gradually become more balanced, attentive and patient. Children who are inhibited, constrained, lethargic and timid acquire confidence, vigor, freedom in expressing their feelings and thoughts.
Such systematic work allows the child’s body to relieve excess stress and restore balance, thereby maintaining health.
40 questions to yourself. Let’s get to know each other better?
My little mirror, tell me!.. It can be useful to retire and look within yourself for answers to important questions. At the same time, let’s get to know each other better: a lot of new people come to the blog. Tell me a little about yourself in the comments too, okay? 🙂
I found these “questions for myself” even earlier in the blog of my Internet friend Svetlana. But then there was no desire to answer, but now there is. Those who wish can pick up the baton!
True, I reduced the number of questions from 49 to 40, because some did not seem very correct or understandable.
1. How old would you give yourself if you didn’t know your age?
I have a double sense of age: the body is not always flexible enough, as I would like it to be, but the brain is flexible and mobile, like a sponge absorbs the new. That’s why, on average, I feel like I’m 35 years old. Great age!
2. Which is worse: failing or never trying?
Worse, of course, is not to try. My inquisitiveness and curiosity “what could have been” will not give life. That’s why I try, sometimes I fail (so it seems at first glance) – and always as a result I understand that this was the best decision for me. And what a clever thing to try!
3. If life is so short, why do we do so much of what we don’t like to do, and yet do so little of what we love?
Because they were brought up in the spirit of “think about the Motherland first, and then about yourself”. It took many years to understand the biblical truth “love your neighbor as yourself.” And now the old programs are still working, and now you often realize that you don’t love yourself enough. I have so.
4. If the work is done, all is said and done, which was more talk or action?
There were more things to do. When there is a lot of talk, more often, the work is not done. He said everything – why then do it? Everything is as clear as it will be. 🙂
5. If you were allowed to change only one thing in the world, what would it be?
Education and training of children. It would be a system aimed at the upbringing and education of a happy person. Today, few people know how to accept the world as it is and enjoy what is given to us, few people understand what unconditional love is and know how to love themselves, those around them, the world in this way. Unhappy people produce unhappy new people. And I want there to be more happy people around. And I understand that this needs to be taught.
6. If happiness becomes the national currency, what job will make you rich?
Writing, journalism, coaching. I’m already doing it – it remains to become rich!
7. If an average human life lasted 40 years, what would you change in your life to live it as interesting as possible?
I think nothing. A person at every moment of his life time does exactly what he can and should do. You can’t rush to become smarter or wiser. Unless you would like to believe in yourself and start writing earlier.
8 How much control do you have over what happens in your life?
Attempts to control most often failed. Now I am learning and trying to let things go. Everything that is done is for the best. I set a goal, take small steps towards it – what I can: as a rule, the Universe helps to reach the goal. Sometimes later than expected, sometimes earlier, but it helps.
9. Are you more worried about doing things right or doing the right things?
Today I understand that the concept of “correct/correct” is very relative. Therefore, I just try to do things that do not bring me discomfort. And if something brings and I still do, then I realize what and why …
10. You have lunch with three people whom you respect and appreciate. They begin to criticize your close friend, not knowing that you are friends with him. This criticism is humiliating and unfair. What will you do?
I suggest not to speak badly about a person who is not among us. If they don’t hear me, I’ll apologize and leave the table.
11. If you could give a small child only one piece of advice in a lifetime, what would you say?
Remember how you can sincerely rejoice at the touch of your mother’s hand, a small bug, a ray of sunshine, your favorite toy and a warm puddle – and carry this joy through your whole life.
12. Did you see madness where you later saw genius?
Vrubel’s paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery. This is unreal genius madness.
13. What do you do differently in this life than other people?
Developing. Everyone has their own unique path.
14. How is it that what makes you happy doesn’t make everyone else happy?
Everyone has their own tasks in this life and their own idea of happiness. I think that the more consciously a person lives, the more he accepts the world as it is, the more joy he experiences, the more happy he is. Only awareness and acceptance of the world does not come to everyone: sometimes anger, envy, aggression turn out to be stronger – and there is no place for happiness.
15. What did you really want to do but didn’t do? What stops?
So it turns out that sooner or later, but I achieve what I want. Unless the youthful dream of becoming a singer has not come true – and I no longer want this. But I want to finish the novel, and I know that I will do it. Also travel to different countries of Europe, visit Japan, India and Brazil.
16. Are you holding on to something that you should let go?
Yes. There are a lot of papers in my house: old notebooks, notebooks with notes, documents, newspaper clippings and other things. Also many books. I cut the last one in half. But with papers … I try to look through, throw something away, but they accumulate faster. Everything seems to be useful in creativity. I want to add the main thing to the computer, but there is not enough time for this. So I live …
17. If you were offered to move permanently to another country, where would you move and why?
Nowhere. I love Belarus. Wherever I travel, I always want to return home.
18. Why are you you?
Because There I chose this shell of mine, this self, in order to perform certain tasks Here on earth. I’m trying to figure out which ones to do.
19. If you could be your own friend, would you like such a friend?
I am my own friend: I try to look at myself through the eyes of a friend, I learn to love myself and realize what I am doing.
20. What is worse: if your best friend moves to live in another country, or if he lives nearby, but you stop talking?
I will accept both options as the best. People come into our lives if we face some common tasks. When everything is allowed, people leave our lives or move away. I don’t think that we will quarrel with a friend, rather, we will just become less likely to communicate.
21. What are you most grateful for in this life?
For Life.
22. Is it possible to get the truth without fighting?
As I grew older, I realized that the truth cannot be achieved by fighting. The main truth is to accept the world as it is and understand what you are doing wrong, if such situations develop around you, such people are spinning around.
23. Has your biggest fear come true?
I thought: I had many fears and fears: something turned into reality. But part of it is not: I think because I have learned to be friends with my fears and let them go. In fact, I resign myself to what life brings me – and this humility, oddly enough, improves the quality of life.
24. Do you remember how terribly upset you were 5 years ago? Does it matter now?
Yes, it matters now: I know that that situation helped me to become stronger and wiser.
25. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so?
Dad sits in a corner on the floor, my sister and I crawl on it, we even manage to climb on our heads. He laughs, supports us. Love. Much love.
26. What events from the past made you feel real, alive?
Moments of the highest tension and pain, as well as moments of the greatest joy.
27. Have you ever said anything to someone, but then decided that it was the best conversation in your life?
Sometimes it’s good to be silent with someone nearby. Whether this was the best conversation in my life, I did not think, but it happened that after that it became easier. Sometimes we still “talk” like this with loved ones.
28. Is it possible to know without a shadow of a doubt what is good and what is bad?
Everything is relative in the world. As they say, what is good for a Russian is death for a German.
29. If you were given a million dollars, would you quit your job?
Yes. And I would take up creativity and my own business.
30. What do you want more: to have a lot of work to do, or not enough work, but the one you like to do?
In any quantity – but what you like to do.
31. Do you feel like today has happened hundreds of times before?
Each new day is unique. Although feelings of deja vu sometimes happen.
32. When was the last time you began to actively act, having only the germ of an idea in your head, but already strongly believing in it?
A month and a half ago.
33. Would you like to exchange 10 years of your life for worldwide fame and attractiveness?
No. I will live as long as God allows, and if possible I will build my own life.
34. What is the difference between life and existence?
Life is when every day is a joy, when a person is responsible for actions, situations, environment. Existence is when you live “immaturely”, according to patterns, programs and try to throw responsibility for yourself onto other people.
35. When will it be time to calculate the risk and start doing what you think is right?
I already try to calculate the risks and do what I consider “right”, “mine” or necessary at the moment.
36. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we afraid to make them?
Most often because we are afraid of someone’s condemnation, even our own. When you let go of this fear, you already perceive mistakes as steps to growth.
37. What could you do differently, knowing that no one will judge you?
Nothing. I’m getting old, at least I’m learning to be a whole person.
38. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? What about heartbeats?
Yoga class two weeks ago.
39. What do you like? Have your last actions expressed this love?
Write. I am writing even now. 🙂
40. Decisions are made here and now. Do you take them yourself or does someone else take them for you?
Herself – if it concerns me. And I am responsible for the result. If it concerns other people, we make decisions together with these other people.

At the end of the game, the teacher gives time for a “free” exchange of questions: “What else would you like to learn from each other?”
So that the students can get to know not only their classmates, but also other children, the teacher conducts the game “Transfers”: at the teacher’s signal, the children change places, and a similar acquaintance with a new neighbor takes place. The game is played 4-5 times, after which everyone returns to their original places.
– I’m sure you were able to get to know each other.
4. (7 min.) Reading the story.
– Now we are getting acquainted. We asked various questions to get to know each other better. And now listen to the story about the boy Deniska, who for some reason did not like to get acquainted …
The teacher reads V. Dragunsky’s story “Nothing can be changed” (abbreviated):
I noticed a long time ago that adults ask very stupid questions to little ones. They seemed to be talking. It turns out as if they all learned the same questions and ask them to all the guys in a row. I am so used to this business that I know in advance how everything will happen if I meet some adult.
It will be like this:
“Well, Denis, what’s your name?”
Of course, if I were an impolite person, I would say to him: “You know yourself! After all, you just now called me by my name, why are you talking nonsense?” But I’m polite. So I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything like that, I’ll just smile wryly and, averting my eyes, will answer:
“Denis”. He immediately asks further:
“How old are you?”
As if he doesn’t see that I’m not thirty or even forty! After all, he sees how tall I am, and, therefore, he must understand that I am seven at the most, well, eight at the most – why then ask? But he has his own, adult views and habits, and he continues to pester:
“Eh? How old are you? Eh?”
I’ll tell him:
“Seven and a half”.
Here he will widen his eyes and clutch his head, as if I told you that I was one hundred and sixty-one yesterday. He will directly groan as if he has three teeth hurting:
“Oh-oh-oh! Seven and a half! Oh-oh-oh!… What’s going on, what’s going on! Seven and a half! Already!” And he will add: “I knew you so little!”
And he will measure twenty centimeters in the air. At a time when I know for sure that I was fifty-one centimeters long. Mom even has one. Official. Well, I’m not offended by this adult. They are all so…
Even now I know for sure that he is supposed to think. And he will think. Iron. He will hang his head on his chest, as if he had fallen asleep. And then I start to slowly break out of his hands. But it was not there. It’s just that an adult will remember what other questions he has lying around in his pocket, he will remember them, and finally, smiling happily, will ask:
“Oh yes! And what will you be? Huh? What do you want to be?”
To be honest, I want to do speleology, but I understand that it will be boring for a new adult, it will be unusual for him, and in order not to confuse him, I will answer him:
“I want to be an ice cream man… He always has as much ice cream as you want.”
The face of the new adult will immediately brighten. Everything is in order, everything is going the way he wanted, without deviations from the norm. So he slaps me on the back (it hurts a lot) and condescendingly says:
“That’s right! Keep it up! Well done!. .”
And now he will ask me one more question. But by his tone, I guess that the matter is coming to an end. This will be the most ridiculous question, like for dessert. Now his face will depict supernatural fear.
“Why didn’t you shower today?”
I’ve washed, of course, but I can see where he’s going. And how do they not get tired of this old, hackneyed game? In order not to pull the bagpipes, I will grab my face:
“Where?!” I scream. “What?! Where?!”
Exactly! Direct hit! An adult instantly says:
“And the eyes?” he will say slyly. “Why such black eyes? They need to be washed! Go to the bathroom right now!”
And he will finally let me go! I am free and can get down to business.
Oh, and it’s hard for me to get these new acquaintances! But what can you do? All kids go through this! I’m not the first, I’m not the last… Nothing can be changed here.
After the reading, a brief discussion: why did Deniska not like getting to know each other?

Tips and recommendations about the physical education of the child are posted on the website of the preschool educational institution, in the parent groups of the groups.
Developing environment.
All conditions for the full physical development of children have been created in the gym. There is modern equipment. Sports equipment is constantly replenished. The inventory and equipment used complies with the requirements of hygiene and the rules for protecting the life and health of children, meets the requirements of aesthetics.
There are movement centers in the groups, where the imagination and skillful hands of teachers and parents created unique variants of the movement environment. Each group has attributes and toys for outdoor games and physical activity of children.
Teaching staff. An educator is a teacher who is directly responsible for the life and health of the children entrusted to him. However, the teacher does not just “look after” the kids, she plans and conducts classes, games, walks and entertainment in accordance with the age of the children. She creates conditions in the group for the successful implementation of the educational program and, in fact, implements it herself. Together with the music director and physical education teacher, she prepares holidays, entertainment and sports activities. Supervises the work of an assistant teacher. In addition, the teacher is working with parents on the upbringing of children in the family, involving them in active cooperation with the kindergarten. Coordinates with parents the preventive vaccinations of children planned in a preschool institution.
Medical worker The head nurse takes care of the medical issues in the kindergarten. The senior nurse, Duskalieva Galina Aleksandrovna, controls the sanitary and epidemic regime in the kindergarten, and also monitors the observance of the daily routine, children’s nutrition, proper morning exercises, physical education and walks. Organizes activities for hardening children and participates in the organization of recreational activities. Keeps a daily record of children absent due to illness, isolates sick children. In addition, the head nurse prepares children for medical examinations and participates in them herself, carries out weighing, anthropometric measurements of children.
Junior staff Junior staff includes caregiver assistant, cook, storekeeper, laundress, etc. All these employees ensure the smooth operation of the preschool, but only the caregiver assistant works directly with children. An assistant educator (in everyday communication – just a nanny) helps the educator in organizing the educational process, and together with the educator is responsible for the life and health of the pupils. The assistant teacher brings food from the kitchen and helps in distribution, then cleans and washes the dishes, prepares water for washing children, for rinsing the mouth; in older groups organizes serving children’s tables. Helps the teacher to take the children for a walk and bring them into a group, undress the kids before a quiet hour and dress after it. Prepares everything necessary for hardening and hygiene procedures. The nanny is also responsible for the cleanliness of the premises; twice a day she does a wet cleaning of the group. In accordance with the requirements of the SES, it sanitizes dishes and toys. Monitors the cleanliness of towels, changes them as they get dirty, helps the teacher in carrying out hygiene procedures with children. Once every 10 days, bed linen is changed.
Who can I contact? All kindergarten teachers have a higher professional or specialized secondary education. Each kindergarten specialist (speech therapist, psychologist, music director, physical education instructor) works in tandem with the teacher in the group, and the knowledge that the child receives in the classroom is then consolidated in everyday activities. Parents can contact any employee of the kindergarten with questions and get a qualified answer. So, the deputy head of the VMR can answer questions regarding the organization of children’s leisure at home, talk about the programs and methods of work used in kindergarten, about what a child should know and be able to do by a certain age, advise which books and toys are worth buying baby. With educators, you can discuss some issues of education: what to do so that the child cleans up toys? what to do with the child while preparing for dinner? How to discuss a read work with a child? What questions should you ask your child while looking at the illustrations in the book? and others. The teacher-psychologist will consult about fears, whims, stubbornness in children. The speech therapist will suggest effective methods of speech correction. The assistant educator (junior educator) will answer questions regarding cultural and hygienic skills, the child’s appetite, explain when and how airing is carried out in the group. All employees of the kindergarten work in close contact with each other, creating the best conditions for the physical and mental life of the child.
Hours of operation Each kindergarten specialist has their own work schedule. The manager works in irregular working hours according to the schedule, which is usually drawn up in such a way that it is possible to control the work of all structural divisions. Thus, the working day of the head of the kindergarten can begin at 7, and at 8, and at 9 o’clock in the morning, and end, respectively, at 17 and 19 o’clock in the evening. Music director, physical education teacher and work according to the schedule, which depends on the number of groups they lead. The head nurse starts work at 9.00 to 17.00. At this time, she helps educators to conduct a morning reception, assesses the condition of children, especially those who came after an illness and were in contact with infectious patients.

My shining light and grace, Dayspring Academy brings joy and happiness into my life each and every day. I love how interactive the work is, and the way students can get involved.

Middle School Student: I have been attending Carrollwood Day School for the majority of my life, and I can confidently say that there is no better environment than CDS. All of the teachers genuinely care about you and push you to succeed in and out of the classroom. Since CDS is an IB school, class sizes are small (no more than 18 students), enriching, and truly prepare you for college. CDS also offers a wide array of sports and has a strong arts program offered at every grade level, with music, theater, and visual art options for electives. Recently, CDS built a brand-new athletic complex and gymnasium accompanied by a weight room, and a new building is being built at the moment, expanding the Middle School/Upper School campus. The faculty and staff at CDS are incredibly welcoming and kind; once I forgot my lunch in the car and when a teacher noticed, they didn’t hesitate to buy me a lunch from FLIK (our dining service). Overall, I strongly recommend Carrollwood Day School for any family looking to enroll!… Read 104 reviews

Parent: My child has been a student at Plato Academy Tarpon Springs for the last 4 years. We have had a great experience at this school. The teachers are wonderful, the technology is excellent and I love the small family-type environment. Wearing uniforms is a big plus for us & having Friday casual uniform day is fun. We love special events like the color fun run, Halloween trunk or treat, book sale, Kona ice every other Friday, Olympics & the Christmas music program. I love that the kids can celebrate holidays with holiday parties. We like the smaller classes and that all the teachers in the school know all the kids by their name. I love that he is learning Greek. Volunteer hours are difficult to achieve with working parents, but I know the hours are flexible & the school understands if we can’t achieve the hours. The large amount of homework has been rough for us, with trying to balance it along with sports, family events and just general relaxing and unwinding from a school day…. Read 5 reviews

Mabry Elementary School
Grades
Students
As a parent who’s kindergartner goes to this school. I seriously could not be happier. The teachers truly love the students. She hugs my son every single morning and makes every student feel SAFE and comfortable at school. That doesn’t mean they let things slide though. Which is great! Bullying and being inappropriate is completely unacceptable to them. And will notify and call the parent as soon as a child is not being kind. They work with my son and he has so many friends. Is starting to read. And feels loved and safe. The communication between his teacher is amazing as well. We LOVE it here!

A+ Bevis is an awesome school. We are so blessed to be able to send our two boys to Bevis. It’s not an easy school and the parents need to be involved to succeed.

Lutz Preparatory Academy
Grades
Students
Excellent curriculum and teachers in both elementary and middle school. I do believe most ideal fit is for a child who enjoys school and being “pushed” academically. Gifted program at the public school we came from was less rigorous then the regular classroom work/ expectations at Lutz Prep. My child certainly had to adjust to the work expectations and extra attention is focused on student development instead of teaching to test. We are also enjoying the after school activities such as the musical theatre club and variety of sports, some of which are no cut so everyone can participate.
CHARTER
Hammond Elementary School
Grades
Students
I have been involved with this school since it opened back in 2007. I was on the original PTA Board and it’s been an exceptional school since day #1. The teachers at Hammond are phenomenal and they deeply care for their students and ALL of their kindergarten teachers are fantastic. The quality of education here is second to none. My older children got a fabulous foundation and they both have gone off to college for engineer with full scholarships. My two younger children are also excelling at Hammond. The Advance Gifted Program is extremely enriching and the school even offer a multitude of after school programs such Math Clubs. The PTA at Hammond is strong and creative. They have raised a lot of money over the years and it will be clear to see when you tour the school. The school is lucky to have an abundance of volunteer and not a shortage which enables the school to host a number of fun activities throughout the yr such as the Wolf Cub Prowl, Field Day and Jump Rope For Hearts just to make a few. There are opportunities to get to know other families every month at different area restaurants that host the school’s Family Fun Nights where a certain percentage is returned to the school. So is you are considering this area you will not be disappointed. Keystone (the Odessa’s part of zip 33556that is in Hillsborough Co) is beautiful, safe and very family oriented. I have lived in this area for almost 20 yrs and although it’s grown it’s still a very small and close knit community and the middle schools and High Schools in the are just as wonderful.

Stowers Elementary School
Grades
Students
Not happy with this school. Military family in & out of a lot of schools…13 different ones so far between both of my kids. This one is one of the worst we’ve attended. Very behind academically & socially. Not enough of variety of work & recess may as well be nonexistent. Only 10 mins per day & not everyday! Kids learn so much better when they have more outdoor time! If your child likes sports this is not the school for you! Basketball goals are not accessible during recess & there is no school gym! Our last school my son had 3 recess per day everyday & PE on some days. There was a basketball court, kickball field, & lots of playground equipment all in the same area & a gym in addition to that! They also held a lot more parent/student activities. He thrived academically & enjoyed attending school! The only plus to this school are the friends he has made!

Hillsborough’s struggling schools attempt a ‘transformation.’ Can it work?
With 35 “persistently low-performing” schools — more than any other Florida county — the road ahead is uncertain.
In the videos, children crawl on the floor and talk excitedly with their table mates. They stand in front of Alexandra Maley’s third-grade classroom at Kenly Elementary in Tampa, explaining how they solved a word problem.
A group of Hillsborough County school leaders watches the clips with rapt attention, because everyone wants to discern the magic. Kenly’s state grade shot from a D to a B last year, largely on the strength of students’ math scores.
How does that happen?
Is it the way a team of teachers analyzes wrong answers to pinpoint which concepts need a quick review? Is it the calming voice of teacher Tiffany Brown as she tells her class: “Read the problem. Read it once, read it twice, but read it until you are able to comprehend.”
The answers don’t come easily. The magic is elusive.
The ‘Transformation Network’ is born
Despite numerous initiatives and tens of millions of dollars spent, Hillsborough County continues to have far more schools than any other Florida district deemed “persistently low-performing” by the state.
And no one, it seems, can say why.
Hillsborough has 35 schools on the list. No other district has more than 18, including the two that are bigger. Pinellas County has six. Pasco County two.
The reasons for the disparity might include poverty and language barriers, discipline problems and punitive state tests, according to principals, teachers and administrators interviewedby the Tampa Bay Times.
But these same challenges exist everywhere in Florida, as does the latest culprit affecting student performance: COVID-19.

Hillsborough’s dismal statistics persist despite a succession of ambitious initiatives, all intended to create a quality education for students, regardless of income or zip code.
The latest effort — the “Transformation Network” — is the brainchild ofsuperintendent Addison Davis, now completing his second year on the job.
The initiative is headed by fourth-generation educator Shaylia McRae. Her team is trying everything from organized community outreach to fast-food coupons to reward better student attendance.
They’ve reached out to church leaders, who said in the past they wanted to help but were sometimes turned away. Using corporate donations, McRae’s team is setting up gaming rooms on campuses. Local colleges and universities are sending students known as “Transformation Fellows” to help as tutors.
And in a school system already focused on data, the team has taken number-crunching to a new level, working to maximize every teaching moment for every student.

“We identify what are the standards that students are doing well,” McRae said. “And we create action plans to help to guide what we should be teaching in daily instruction. We try to ensure that students are getting what they need in order to be successful and proficient.”
For the kids, their families and the Tampa Bay community, the price of continued failure is high.
In the worst of Hillsborough’s “Transformation” schools, 60 to 85 percent of students fall below the state’s most basic standards in reading, year after year. Later in life, many will struggle to read a job application, a training manual, an election ballot, a doctor’s written instructions after surgery.
Yet every year, the school district will send them on by the hundreds to more challenging settings in middle and high school.
‘They want to learn’
District leaders are aware that the work must go beyond school walls. “If we believe that we can transform and break the cycle of underperforming schools by only focusing on our students while they are only in our schools, we are sadly mistaken,” said Davis, the superintendent.
McRae is training one employee at each school to be a family and community ambassador. At James Elementary in Tampa, the one remaining F school, principal Nicole Bennett is not shy about asking teachers to make home visits. “We have to go to them if they don’t come to us,” she said.
She addressed the stigma of the F this way: “I think it’s hard to be identified by a letter grade … because unless you’re here every day in these trenches, you don’t know what we’re doing or what’s going on or how much growth we’re even making from the year before and the year before that. ”
Now in her second year at James, Bennett has moved from establishing better behavior routines to differentiating the lessons based on individual student needs.
“Our kids want it,” she said. “They’re not just sitting there saying, wamp wamp. They want to learn. They want high structure, and they want to feel like this is a school community.”

Davis is celebrating the team’s early success, at least on paper: The district in 2021 had 14 D and F schools, while two years ago it had 28.
But a C doesn’t mean a school is out of trouble.
Schools often swing from the C grades that they work so hard to obtain back to a D or F — which lands them back in the state warning zone. That’s partly because the points to earn that C come largely from two categories: Gains overall, and gains made by the lowest-scoring 25 percent of students. There are only so many gains to be had, even in the highest-performing schools, so it’s hard to keep getting those points.
If not for lenient state requirements during the pandemic, more Hillsborough schools could have dropped to a D or F last year. More than half of the Transformation schools that had a C or better saw pass rates drop for English/language arts, math, or both. Nearly 5,000 students in that group tested in Level 1 for reading, the lowest of the state’s five levels.
Davis, McRae and chief academic officer Terry Connor agreed that timetables imposed by the state can stand in the way of true progress. Bringing a student, or a group of students, to the levels they should be can take years.
Yet after a school gets a D or an F grade, the state expects rapid change.
New names, same problem
Jeff Eakins, the superintendent who preceded Davis, tried in 2015 to make Hillsborough an example for all large districts by using seven schools as a learning laboratory, then expanding the successful methods to the rest.
The seven were known as “Priority” schools. To avoid confusion with the state’s designation of priority schools, he later changed the name to “Elevate.” One of the seven schools, Miles Elementary, improved enough to leave the group after the first year, but later regressed to its current D grade. Another, Sulphur Springs K-8, never moved beyond a D.

Assistant superintendent Tricia McManus — now a superintendent in North Carolina — was charged in 2018 with rolling togetherall of the district and state school improvement work under the “Achievement Schools” project. Fifty schools were in that group. District leaders say McManus made progress through better recruitment and preparation of principals.
Other strategies included paying $45 million in teacher bonuses. More money came from government grants, including the federal Title I program that in a typical year delivers roughly $60 million for high-poverty schools. The district hired consultants under orders from the state. To date, those payments have exceeded $8 million.

When Davis took over, he put McRae in charge, renamed the group the Transformation Network and cut it to include only the 28 D and F schools. Then he expanded the group again to include what are known as “fragile C” schools. The number is back up to 45.
To get a snapshot of the problem, the Times looked back at five years of data in the 14 Transformation schools that still have D grades, or in the case of James Elementary, an F.
Patterns emerged.
Some schools have had one or two principals since 2016. Others had three or four. One has had five.
A number of teachers lacked the training or skill to help children meet state standards, according to state-required improvement plans submitted by school administrators.
Some schools were so small that their numbers work against them when it comes to state grades. They had too few students to benefit from those extra points the state awards when the lowest-scoring kids make gains.
Other schools strained to serve their students because of their larger populations. At Miles Elementary, which is filled near capacity, there were not enough English language support services to meet the needs of a large population of new immigrants.
Tampa Heights Elementary is a special case. Before a fire gutted the building in 2017, the school was a well-respected magnet with a solid C, and in some years a B.
While the district rebuilt the school, students were housed at nearby Lockhart Elementary, a D school that is also on the state list. Tampa Heights earned two D’s during the transition. And last year, though back at its original location, 61 percent of its students fell below Florida standards on the state reading test.
Despite the many variables, data and interviews point to several factors, outlined below, that may be impacting Hillsborough more than other districts.
Not ready for kindergarten
More than 16,000 students enter kindergarten every year in Hillsborough County. About 4,000 go to district preschool, including the federally funded Head Start program.
What about the other 75 percent? They might be in a commercial preschool, a family day care home, or spending the day with a parent or grandparent. And the knowledge the state demands of a child in kindergarten is growing all the time.
McRae and her team addressed the preschool issue early in what she calls “a slow, systemic approach to really getting to the root causes of failure.”
In Hillsborough, 48 percent of children entering kindergarten are far enough along in their letter sounds, number recognition and other basic skills to expect success. That’s two points below the statewide average of 50 percent. But at the 14 D and F schools, those numbers drop as low as 16.5 percent at Miles Elementary and 16.9 percent at James Elementary.
“When you look community-wise in our inner city core, you don’t see commercialized day care centers,” McRae said. One solution would be to get more preschool seats in the district schools, especially those that have extra room because so many families have leftto enroll in choice programs.
Eakins, the former superintendent, had hoped to oversee a major preschool expansion, ideally in the same schools where the children would continue on to kindergarten. He made progress, with enrollment climbing as high as 4,600 children.
But the number plummeted during the pandemic, and now it is back to around 4,000.
Poverty and school boundaries
A 2015 Harvard University study ranked the nation’s 100 largest counties on the basis of a child’s ability to transcend poverty. Hillsborough came in 98th.
Some educators have wondered if the problem in the schools stemmed from the unusual nature of poverty in Hillsborough, that it was more concentrated and more deeply entrenched.
But the study did not say that poverty causes schools to struggle. In fact, in one passage, it suggested inferior schools are one reason why people are poor.
Nevertheless, the 14 D and F schools have a preponderance of students described as low-income.
In drawing boundaries, school leaders seek to keep communities together. And sometimes that intention adds to economic segregation.
One example is Oak Park Elementary, which is being celebrated this year because it rose from an F to a C. It serves an East Tampa neighborhood that includes a domestic violence shelter, a drug rehabilitation center and low-rent motels. In an average Hillsborough school, 3 of every 100 students enrolled in October will be gone in February. At Oak Park, 10 will be gone.
Sulphur Springs, a community north of Tampa’s Seminole Heights neighborhood, has a poverty rate that has been measured at three times the national average, affecting 42 percent of the population and 58 percent of its children.
The community has its own school, which the district expanded from K-5 to K-8 in 2015. The plan was to work with a consortium of charities to revitalize the neighborhood.
Three principals later, Sulphur Springs is looking back at a string of D and F grades. And 58 percent of the students are Level 1 readers.
While Davis was not superintendent at the time, he says that expansion was a mistake. “In that model, you have to get pre-K through 5th grade right before you decide to expand it to a new configuration,” he said.
He also stood by a statement he made in early 2021 about the need for new school boundaries and, if necessary, closing or consolidating schools that are under-enrolled, chronically under-performing, or both.
“If we keep doing the same cut-and-paste application, or system, or body of work, and it’s not moving the needle, you’ve got to think differently,” Davis said. “We’ve got to figure out strategies to be able to put children in situations to be successful.”
Staff turnover
Adams Middle School started the school year with 13 employees who were new to the district.
One, Gary Pate, left after seven weeks teaching special education. It wasn’t for him, despite a long career teaching students with special needs. He appreciated the principal and assistant principals, he said. But he could not tolerate the disrespect shown by a disruptive group of students. In his opinion, the district did not provide enough support.
“It’s a jail, that place,” Pate said. “There’s fights every day.”
Eleven teachers who started at Giunta Middle School this school year later left the district.
High-poverty schools lose talentin spite of the bonus pay, and there is turnover in the principal ranks too. The 14 D and F schools have had 39 principals since 2016. Those on the job now have been there an average of two years.
In education circles, it is commonly understood that a principal needs between three and five years to become established.
McRae said she believes the district has a deep bench of principals, thanks to the work McManus did seven years ago in establishing a “principal pipeline” training program.
One obstacle to continuity: When a school gets a low grade, state regulators often insist that it get a new principal.
Reading: a weak spot
There is a direct connection between Hillsborough’s English/language arts test scores, which are consistently below the state average, and its disproportionately high number of low-performing schools.
For one thing, the test scores are the building blocks for the yearly grades. And reading in particular is the foundation of nearly all other learning.
In 2019, the district commissioned a literacy audit by an educational consulting firm. The report showed numerous flaws in the system.
Teaching the way the district wanted was optional rather than required. Practices differed from one classroom to the next. Digital tools were sometimes used incorrectly and excessively. Top teachers were assigned to grades three to five, while kindergarten through second grade — the most important years for foundational skills — got the less-skilled teachers.
District leaders set out to tighten teaching practices. They were relieved when, after the first pandemic year, Hillsborough’s passing rate in English/language arts dropped by only 4 percentage points. The drop was one point more than the state’s. But Hillsborough officials noted that the learning losses were far worse in other large districts.

The lack of consistency across the district can be especially significant for families who move around and transfer their children midyear.
Despite Davis’ efforts to become more consistent in reading instruction, 27 percent of Hillsborough’s student test-takers scored last year in the lowest range, Level 1. That was 2 points worse than the state average.
Davis and his chief academic officer, Connor, said they are moving as quickly as they can to bring consistency into the system, along with new products and teaching methods that put a greater emphasis on phonics in the early years.
The process becomes difficult, they said, because in addition to the disruption of COVID-19, the state is adopting new academic targets to replace the Florida Standards, which was a variation of Common Core.
“So now we have new standards, new curriculum and a pandemic, all at once,” Connor said.
Too many choices
The Times calculated the 14 schools’ “stay rates,” a term referring to the percentage of children who lived in a school’s attendance area and remained instead of opting for a magnet school, charter school or another traditional district school.
Strong schools tend to have high stay rates because their communities have confidence in them. Westchase Elementary School, for example, keeps 89 percent of its neighborhood students. Gorrie Elementary in South Tampa keeps 92 percent.
The 14 D and F schools had rates as low as 39 percent at Giunta Middle and 45 percent at Adams Middle.
In sheer numbers, 1,248 students left Giunta for these other options. There were 316 who left James, and 584 who left Robles.
When a large percentage of families go elsewhere, a school can lose parents who are likely to be involved as volunteers and children who may have the most advantages outside of school.
David Colon, a social studies teacher, worked at Adams Middle nearly a decade ago and then returned this past year.
In that time, Adams’ enrollment dropped by nearly half. But the smaller numbers did not help the school, Colon said.
He had high praise for the administrators and students. But he found the atmosphere at Adams depressing, with classrooms going unused and not enough adults in the hallways between classes.
“Children know when they’re being shortchanged,” Colon said. “I’d hear them say, ‘My friend is going to a charter school’ or ‘My friend is going to choice school.’ They’ll brag about their schools. I’ve heard the kids say, ‘My friends go to an A school and this is a D and an F school.’”
The district leaders did not deny that the options for families can sap a school of resources, including involved parents.
But, they said, they have to accept this kind of marketplace of school choices. For one thing, state leaders are encouraging the proliferation of independent charter schools, and scholarships for private schools.
“If we don’t create choice, then we won’t compete,” Davis said. That’s why he is determined to use whatever funds are available to make the Transformation Network schools competitive.
No silver bullet
It’s impossible to tell, from the data available, if teacher qualification is part of the problem.
State evaluation reports show 99 percent and sometimes 100 percent of the teachers in the lowest-graded schools are deemed “highly effective” or “effective.”
But in another set of documents, called School Improvement Reports, principals have notedteacher shortcomings: A writing teacher who cannot grade essays, a science teacher who does not know fifth-grade math, and numerous cases where teachers knew the material, but did not design effective classroom lessons.
Teachers, in the interviews, typically said classes were too big, especially in schools where children are a year or more behind in their skills; or when behavior is disruptive.
Some did not like to have coaches and specialists second-guessing them instead of rolling up their sleeves and teaching. Many agreed with union president Rob Kriete, who suggested the district turn coaching positions into teaching positions.

Davis and Connor, however, said the research does not support the idea that better results come from smaller classes.
They said they have moved away from a past system of mentors and evaluators, who were sometimes seen as judgmental, and into one that employs “content specialists” who can help teachers achieve better results. What’s more, they said, the teaching coaches work with small groups of children during the second half of the school year, when state testing kicks in.
Davis said he believes the district has made advancements in a number of key areas: recruiting good teachers and principals; helping teachers master content and align it with the state standards; improving relationships with parents and communities; and using test data to give students the instruction they need, in real time.
But as much as he wanted to congratulate his team, he said, “the silver bullet doesn’t exist.”

Education in Tampa: educational institutions: primary, secondary, higher
Tampa is one of the largest cities in the state of Florida, located in the southeastern part of the United States. Florida is known not only as a major tourist center, but also as a center of education. International students choose Florida for its high quality education and excellent living conditions. Let’s focus on the educational institutions of Tampa – the best schools and universities in the United States are located here, including the largest university in the state – University of South Florida .
Education in Tampa – advantages and prospects
International students come to the US for quality and relevant programs, prestigious certificates and diplomas. Tampa is no exception: a high level of education and top schools are the main reason for the city’s popularity.
Excellent financial support from the state and individuals allows schools and universities to improve their infrastructure and keep it up to date.
The training system is characterized by a focus on practical knowledge, comprehensiveness, education of leadership qualities, and competitiveness.
The mild climate, beautiful beaches, multicultural environment and many attractions make studying especially comfortable.
Schooling in Tampa
Tampa has public and private schools that differ in tuition fees. More often, foreign students prefer to study in private boarding schools, because boarding houses solve organizational issues: where the child will live, who will be his official representative, whether he will be able to adapt to the new education system and whether he will receive high-quality training. Private schools in Tampa create comfortable conditions for foreigners: the guys get enough attention from teachers, study in small classes and live on school grounds.
Such conditions help schoolchildren to adapt faster, which effectively affects academic performance. Children in America spend one year more at school than Russian children and, if desired, go through an in-depth Advanced Placement program. AP, or Advanced Placement, is a course for high school students of increased complexity, where children study specialized subjects at the first year of the university and receive advantages when entering universities.
Best Tampa Boarding Schools
Tampa is home to some of the best boarding schools in the United States with unique opportunities, such as:
Academy IMG Private School offers a unique program that combines curriculum with professional tennis and golf training. World-class athletes, US champions and Olympic participants have graduated from the academy. Most of the students are foreigners.
Another unique educational institution – Admiral Farragut Academy . This is one of two specialized schools in the United States with in-depth training in naval affairs. The educational institution has many author’s courses in scuba diving, oceanology, aviation and navigation. Here you will find STEM programs, AP, cadet class. The school accepts boys and girls over 15 years of age.
After grade 11, students enter a pre-university preparatory course, such as the University Pathway at INTO University of South Florida.
Higher education in Tampa
The American system of higher education has a number of differences from the Russian one. Students independently draw up a study plan, choose disciplines and decide when to take exams. A lot of time is devoted to self-study of subjects. Teachers are waiting for their own opinion and active position. American law allows students to earn extra money, but not more than 20 hours a week.
Students who are in the US on an F-1 visa are eligible for an internship in their field of study. Often, young specialists look for a permanent job during their internship in order to stay in the country. At the universities of Tampa, you will find a number of scholarship programs and grants from universities, commercial and non-profit companies (Fullbright, Global Ugrad, Florida International University and others). Thanks to good funding, Tampa universities have a developed infrastructure: laboratories, technically equipped classrooms, swimming pools, sports grounds.
Tampa’s Leading Universities
The city is home to the state’s largest universities:
INTO University of South Florida is the 44th largest public university in the United States. You can get bachelor’s and master’s degrees here in various fields: management, sociology, art, natural sciences, business, medicine and engineering.
Florida Polytechnic University is one of 12 emerging STEM universities in the state.
The University of Tampa is a prestigious university with an international reputation in medicine, business, social sciences, literature and the arts.

How many classes are there in Korean school
For a Korean citizen, his whole future life depends on a good education, therefore, education here is treated very responsibly and thoughtfully. The education system in South Korea is organized very comfortably, so many foreigners also want to study in this country.
The Korean education system is based on the following principles
Primary education and the first three years of high school are compulsory in the country. The school is designed for 12 grades, the minimum is to complete 9.
Little Koreans begin to prepare for school in kindergarten at the age of 3-6. Children of 6 years old are allowed to primary education, slight age deviations are possible.
Primary school – 1-6 grades, 6-12 year olds study here. All subjects are taught by one teacher. The emphasis is on native traditions and culture, on Korean and English, on mathematics, and on social sciences.
Secondary school – 7-9 grades, teenagers aged 13-15 study. Different teachers teach history, ethics, home economics, computer literacy, physical education and other subjects in addition to the subjects that were in elementary school.
If the family decides to continue their studies, the student moves to an advanced level of secondary school, these are grades 10-12. Here they study such specializations as technical and natural sciences, in-depth foreign language, art history and others. They leave school in Korea at the age of 18.
The academic year consists of two semesters:
• March 1 – mid-July; • late August – mid February. When there is no study, the children are on vacation.
Distinctions of education in Korea
This amazing country is full of peculiarities in various spheres of life, and the sphere of education has not done without them. The state closely takes care of its young citizens, this begins even with preschool education. In particular, there are gardens where children are admitted at the age of three days, this is a unique phenomenon.
In kindergartens, kids are comprehensively developed, while in order to improve health, they focus on physical education, and for the development of creative abilities – on learning songs.
In Korea, it is customary to change the composition of teachers frequently so that the habit of working in one place does not develop, and also to ensure constant rotation in order to homogenize the education system. So in Korea, the chances of all children to enter a university are equalized, so that everyone has both strong and average teachers.
Secondary and higher schools can be either public or private. Primary schools are public only.
Transfer exams from level to level are not difficult, for most students they are easily overcome.

US education system: structure and features
To the list of articles
Education in the USA
The US education system is characterized by flexibility and democracy: with a high variety of programs, students – both schoolchildren and students – have the opportunity to independently choose the disciplines they study, as well as change their specialization. Even at the university, you can move from one faculty to another, study additional subjects and create your own educational program.
Early childhood education in the US
Early childhood education in the United States begins almost from the cradle. In nursery or kindergarten children can be sent from the age of 6 months. There he can be from six in the morning to six in the evening. Unlike Russian kindergartens, a child can be taken to kindergarten after school, since by law, until the age of 12, he cannot be at home alone. All kindergartens in America are paid, the average monthly fee is about $1,200.
For children from three to five years old, “preparatory groups” operate at schools. At this stage, much attention will be paid to general development, socialization, as well as literature, since the preschool education system sets itself the task of teaching the child reading skills in the first place.
However, kindergarten and pre-school classes are still an optional step. Compulsory education in America begins at school and lasts 12 years.
US school system
Unlike many countries, there is no single educational plan in America: in general, the plan forms the board of education under the state administration, more precisely determines the board of a particular school.
School education in the USA is divided into three stages:
primary (grades 1-5) – children study basic compulsory subjects, play sports and creative work.
secondary : Middle School (grades 6-8) or Junior High School (7-9classes) – in addition to compulsory subjects, elective disciplines appear.
senior classes : High School (9-12) or Senior High School (11-12) – reduction in the number of compulsory subjects, maximum freedom in the choice of disciplines studied. For the last 2 years, gifted students can study Advanced Placement programs. At the end of High School, an American student will have to take the SAT exam (Scholastic Aptitude Test).
Depending on the state, children start school between the ages of five and eight. As a rule, each of the stages of the American school has its own building and is a completely separate educational institution.
The academic year in an American school is divided into two semesters. The duration of training sessions is 5-6 hours a day with a lunch break. Afternoon time is most often devoted to sports, clubs and other community service, which are a mandatory component of American school education. Grades are given in alphabetical form: A, B, C, D, F will be equivalent to Russian grades from five to two.
Unlike the US higher education system, which is the world leader, the school sector is valued contraversively. On the one hand, the set of compulsory subjects is small: among them are mathematics, English, science, history, art, physical education.
On the other hand, students have a huge choice of specialized classes : from theater to ecology. This list also includes foreign languages. Many schools offer 90,003 advanced programs to high school students (Advanced Placement): the most motivated and capable students can additionally study a particular subject at the university level. Thus, the US school system is good for those who want to learn, but is not aimed at the general increase in education in the country.

Public and private schools in the USA
According to the type of funding, schools in the USA are divided into public (public schools) and private (private schools). The level of teaching in the state varies greatly not only from state to state, but even within the same city. The fact is that funding for public schools comes from the district budget (most often from property taxes). As a result, schools in “expensive” areas are well endowed and, as a result, well-equipped, with a strong teaching staff and overall high academic performance. Since, according to US law, a child can only attend the school to which he belongs in the place of residence, such a system leads to an increase in the value of real estate in areas with “strong” schools. Taxes increase, the school receives even more funding. The situation is reversed in “cheap” areas: lack of funding leads to the fact that schools remain weak.
Private schools are financially independent organizations that receive subsidies from sponsors and also charge tuition fees. A high level of funding helps to maintain a high level of academic achievement: excellent facilities, strong teaching staff and small class sizes make these institutions the “cradles” of future diplomats, politicians and top managers. The education received here opens the door to most of the top universities in the world. It is worth saying that the number of US citizens in private schools is often less than 50%: they are of greater interest to foreign students. This is partly due to the country’s immigration laws: a foreigner can study in a public school only if the family moves to America and has a residence permit, or if the student participates in a one-year exchange program.
Significant differences between elite private schools and “average” public schools also add to the general heterogeneity in America’s secondary education.

Higher education in the US
The US higher education system includes colleges and universities – private and public. According to international rankings, most of them are among the best educational institutions in the world. It is worth replacing that, unlike the European education system, in America there is no qualitative difference between a college and a university. For example, even Harvard, which ranked first in 2016, is actually divided into schools, colleges and institutes. The only difference is that colleges offer only undergraduate programs, while universities and institutes provide an opportunity to engage in scientific research and continue an academic career in master’s (1-2 years), postgraduate (3 to 6 years) and research after defending a doctoral dissertation . If the student’s specialization is related to medicine, legal or theological education, the training scheme is somewhat different: upon completion of the bachelor’s program, the student can enter a higher professional school. Similar educational institutions exist at large universities, the duration of study in them is 3 years.
Technical institutes and community colleges are classified as vocational education (similar to Russian vocational schools), but they can serve as the first stage of higher education if, after studying in them, a student is transferred to a university for a bachelor’s degree program. As a rule, the transfer is carried out on the 2nd or 3rd course.
The US higher education system is even more free than schools. Most universities do not accept students to a specific faculty, but simply to the university. However, applicants most often choose the university that is strongest in the area they plan to study. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is famous for its developments in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, but if plans have changed, you can study history, theater, and literature there. This is due to the fact that during the first two years a student can take almost any course offered within the walls of an educational institution. The only requirement is a sufficient number of earned “credits” ( credits ), which the student receives for successfully mastered disciplines. In the 3rd year, you need to decide on your specialization and choose major – the main area of \u200b\u200bprofessional interests. It is on this that the diploma will be obtained. However, due to the fact that the student is free to form his own curriculum, in the United States it is possible to obtain the rarest specialties at the intersection of various professions.
Democracy in the formation of the curriculum, however, implies a fairly disciplined attitude to learning: this includes attending classes, and timely delivery of all control and research papers. Special attention is paid to the latter in the US higher education system: in addition to lectures and seminars familiar to Russians, students of American universities have to spend a lot of time on research or projects. Often they are performed not individually, but by a group of students: in the USA they are sure that training can be built not only according to the “teacher-to-student” scheme, but also “from student to student”. Also, such work develops the ability to work in a team, which is highly valued not only in the educational environment, but also subsequently by employers.
Last but not least, the factor that has made the American system of higher education so revered throughout the world is financial and material support. It allows not only to maintain the excellent equipment of universities, but also to maintain a staff of really strong teachers, who often come to the United States from other countries.
All together – a strong academic background, the ability to choose disciplines based on their own professional plans, the focus of education on real sectors of the economy – allows the system of higher education in the United States to remain the strongest in the world.
Interesting: US Universities for Russians
The education system in America is heterogeneous. US primary and secondary public schools do not always inspire confidence. They offer a set of basic subjects that a gifted student is likely to find insufficient. Parents who want their children to have successful careers prefer to send them to private schools. However, American universities and colleges, both private and public, top the world rankings year after year. They combine the democratic nature of the educational process and a high level of education, so a purposeful student can be sure that he will get exactly what he needs from his studies.

The best schools in Finland: part 1 :: UNIF.pro
The best schools in Finland: part 1 :: UNIF.pro
November 7, 2018
There are two different lyceum/gymnasium rankings in Finland. The first of them is formed on the basis of the average score of the results of compulsory subjects passed in state exams. When compiling the second, the grades of the basic education certificate are compared with the results of the final exams of the exams of classes where instruction is conducted in Finnish.
Salla School’s international coordinator Sirkka Takkunen, with whom we spoke the other day, considers it more fair, so in the first part of the selection of the best schools in Finland we will talk about it.
In the spring of 2018, the ranking was topped by Savukoski School in Lapland. Savukoski is the most sparsely populated municipality in the country. Only 1200 people live here. How did a school in the outback bypass the capital’s lyceums and why are the top positions in the top more and more often given to small educational institutions? Directors and students shared their opinions.
Rector Savukoski Jukka Taipale attributes the success of his students to the special atmosphere in the team. Here they listen to the students, and do not tell them what to do.
– I think this is our strength. Everyone in the villages knows each other very well.
– Final exams are only once in a lifetime, so I wanted to invest my time in them. You can go far if you repeat the main questions on subjects in advance. The result will be if you prepare on time, – Savukoski graduate Onni Paananen is convinced. He came second in the exam.
– What is good in Finnish schools, – continues the rector of Taipale, is their level of teaching: it is equally high throughout the country. Ultimately, your academic success is up to you, not where you went to school.
Finnish Christian Secondary School came second. Applicant Mikael Takama is sure that the reason is precisely the location of the educational institution. The desire to show that even in small towns they are capable of great achievements, makes students try harder.
– We set ourselves a goal and went towards it, but in many respects this is the merit of our teachers, who additionally studied with us. It’s important that teachers know the students and genuinely care about their success, Takamaa says.
Rector for Academic Affairs Leif Hongisto praised the students for the right attitude.
– If the children themselves did not have the enthusiasm and desire to absorb knowledge, the teacher could at least stand over them with a stick – zero sense.
Third place shared by Swedish Cathedral School (Katedralskola) in Turkku and Topelius Gymnasium in Uusikaarlepyu. Both were in the top ten last year as well. Director of Katedralskola Marianna Pärnanen believes that the most important thing is that teachers and students love the school.
– There are so many people in society and in the world that the general welfare should be a priority. The goal of the school is to produce worthy people who will succeed in society.
According to Marianna, this is more valuable than high places and awards.
Ranking of the best schools in Finland by region:
Southwest Finland:
Finnish Christian secondary school, Kaarin
Cathedral School Abo, Turku
Pargas Pargas
Secondary school of Puolanmyaki, Turku
School Nusyainen, Nusyaynen Swedish Gymnasium Pargas, Salu 9001 Luostarivuori School, Turku

Definition: Number of licensed child care facilities, by type (e. g., in 2019, there were 10,654 licensed child care centers in California).
Data Source: California Child Care Resource and Referral Network, California Child Care Portfolio (Apr. 2020).
Footnote: Child care centers are facilities that provide care for infants, preschoolers, and/or school-age children during all or part of the day. These facilities may be large or small and can be operated independently by nonprofit organizations or by churches, school districts, or other organizations. Most child care centers are licensed by the California Dept. of Social Services (CDSS). In family child care homes, care for up to 14 children is offered in the home of the provider, often a parent; care is typically provided for children of a variety of ages. Family child care homes also are licensed by CDSS.

Why This Topic Is Important
Experiences during early childhood lay the foundation for future health and well being, and the quality of children’s early care and education (ECE) can have significant, lasting effects (1, 2). High-quality ECE programs deliver consistent, developmentally sound, and emotionally supportive care and education (1, 3). This type of care before age 5 is associated with improved cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health, as well as increased school readiness, academic achievement, and earnings in adulthood (1, 2). Positive outcomes are particularly pronounced for children from low-income families, children of color, and those at risk for academic problems (1, 3, 4). A critically important ECE need for many families is child care; reliable child care can help families move out of poverty and achieve financial stability by enabling parents to work or pursue education and job training (2, 3).
However, finding affordable, high-quality ECE is a major challenge for many families, especially in California, and access differs based on geography, race/ethnicity, and income (2, 3, 4). In 2018, California was ranked the least affordable state for center-based infant care in the nation (2). For example, costs for center-based infant care in California made up an estimated 18% of the median annual income for married couples and 56% for single parents in 2018 (2).

How Children Are Faring
In 2018, an estimated 61% of California children ages 3-5 were enrolled in preschool or kindergarten, similar to percentages from previous years. An estimated 55% of Hispanic/Latino 3- to 5-year-olds were enrolled in pre-primary programs, compared with more than two-thirds of their African American/black, Asian American, white, and multiracial peers. Across counties with data in 2014-2018, the percentage of children in this age group enrolled in preschool or kindergarten ranged from less than 50% (Kern, Tulare) to more than 75% (Marin, San Francisco).
California’s 36,827 licensed child care centers and family child care homes provided 976,835 child care spaces in 2019. Overall, the number of licensed facilities and spaces have been on the decline since 2008. According to 2019 estimates, there was one licensed child care space available for every four California children ages 0-12 with working parents; in some counties, availability was as low as one in six.
The average annual cost of licensed infant care exceeded $17,000 in child care centers and approached $12,000 in family child care homes in 2018. Care for preschool-age children was less expensive, but still more than $12,000 in child care centers and nearly $11,000 in family child care homes.
Policy Implications
Early childhood is a critical period of biological, cognitive, and social-emotional development (1). The quality of children’s environments and experiences during these years has lasting effects (1). High-quality early care and education (ECE), in particular, can have positive and long-term impacts on children ranging from improved cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better health, educational attainment, and earnings later in life (1, 2). Without access to high-quality early learning opportunities, children can fall behind their peers, creating an academic achievement gap that has been shown to widen with age (1, 3). Leaders increasingly see investments in ECE as a way to reduce educational and health inequities by income and race/ethnicity (1, 4, 5). And research shows these investments pay off; for example, it is estimated that every $1 invested in high-quality preschool yields a return of up to $17 in social benefits (4). ECE also plays a critical role in family financial stability, as many parents need child care in order to work or go to school (4).
However, a significant number of families have difficulty accessing quality ECE, especially in California, due to a lack of program availability and affordability (3, 4). California was ranked the least affordable state for center-based infant care in the nation in 2018, and just 14% of the state’s eligible infants and toddlers have access to subsidized child care (2, 3). Although the state has made some progress, California’s ECE system remains underfunded and will need additional efforts and investments in order to build a comprehensive, high-quality system that is accessible and affordable to all, while ensuring a skilled and adequately compensated workforce (3, 4).
Policy and program options that could improve ECE include:
Increasing state funding for ECE, tying funding to program quality and prioritizing care for infants, toddlers, and children with the greatest needs; in particular, substantially expanding child care subsidies and spaces for income-eligible infants and toddlers (3, 4)
Creating adequate capacity for high-quality, universal preschool for all children ages 3-4, ensuring access for the most vulnerable children; also, ensuring that these programs meet established quality benchmarks, such as student-teacher ratios and professional standards (3, 4)
Reducing system fragmentation by working toward a streamlined, inclusive state ECE governance body to provide overall leadership, improve program coordination and accountability, and integrate data and funding streams (4)
Continuing to strengthen California’s ECE quality improvement and standards systems, and making sure that all publicly-funded programs participate in a continuous improvement process and have access to coaching or other program support (4)
Strengthening the state’s ECE workforce infrastructure to elevate the profession, provide clear pathways for career advancement, improve reimbursement rates to increase wages, and ensure that all providers receive coordinated, standardized, high-quality professional training and support (3, 4)
Ensuring that all California children receive a developmental screening and have access to quality early intervention services or other support services as needed; also, improving alignment and transitions between systems for infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and K-12 students, especially for students with special needs (3, 4)

Commonly Asked Questions About Child Care and the ADA
U.S. Department of Justice
Civil Rights Division Disability Rights Section
Coverage
Q: Does the Americans with Disabilities Act — or “ADA”
— apply to child care centers?
A: Yes. Privately-run child care centers — like other public
accommodations such as private schools, recreation centers, restaurants,
hotels, movie theaters, and banks — must comply with title III of the
ADA. Child care services provided by government agencies, such as Head
Start, summer programs, and extended school day programs, must comply with
title II of the ADA. Both titles apply to a child care center’s interactions
with the children, parents, guardians, and potential customers that it
serves.
A child care center’s employment practices are covered by other parts
of the ADA and are not addressed here. For more information about the ADA
and employment practices, please contact the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (see question 29).
Q: Which child care centers are covered by title III?
A: Almost all child care providers, regardless of size or number
of employees, must comply with title III of the ADA. Even small, home-based
centers that may not have to follow some State laws are covered by title
III.
The exception is child care centers that are actually run by religious
entities such as churches, mosques, or synagogues. Activities controlled
by religious organizations are not covered by title III.
Private child care centers that are operating on the premises of a religious
organization, however, are generally not exempt from title III.
Where such areas are leased by a child care program not controlled or operated
by the religious organization, title III applies to the child care program
but not the religious organization. For example, if a private child care
program is operated out of a church, pays rent to the church, and has no
other connection to the church, the program has to comply with title III
but the church does not.
General Information
Q: What are the basic requirements of title III?
A: The ADA requires that child care providers not discriminate
against persons with disabilities on the basis of disability, that is,
that they provide children and parents with disabilities with an equal
opportunity to participate in the child care center’s programs and services.
Specifically:
Centers cannot exclude children with disabilities from their programs
unless their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or
safety of others or require a fundamental alteration of the program.
Centers have to make reasonable modifications to their policies
and practices to integrate children, parents, and guardians with disabilities
into their programs unless doing so would constitute a fundamental alteration.
Centers must provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services needed
for effective communication with children or adults with disabilities,
when doing so would not constitute an undue burden.
Centers must generally make their facilities accessible to persons
with disabilities. Existing facilities are subject to the readily achievable
standard for barrier removal, while newly constructed facilities and any
altered portions of existing facilities must be fully accessible.
Q: How do I decide whether a child with a disability belongs in my
program?
A: Child care centers cannot just assume that a child’s disabilities
are too severe for the child to be integrated successfully into the center’s
child care program. The center must make an individualized assessment
about whether it can meet the particular needs of the child without fundamentally
altering its program. In making this assessment, the caregiver must not
react to unfounded preconceptions or stereotypes about what children with
disabilities can or cannot do, or how much assistance they may require.
Instead, the caregiver should talk to the parents or guardians and any
other professionals (such as educators or health care professionals) who
work with the child in other contexts. Providers are often surprised at
how simple it is to include children with disabilities in their mainstream
programs.
Child care centers that are accepting new children are not required
to accept children who would pose a direct threat (see question
8) or whose presence or necessary care would fundamentally alter
the nature of the child care program.
Q: My insurance company says it will raise our rates if we accept
children with disabilities. Do I still have to admit them into my program?
A: Yes. Higher insurance rates are not a valid reason for excluding
children with disabilities from a child care program. The extra cost should
be treated as overhead and divided equally among all paying customers.
Q: Our center is full and we have a waiting list. Do we have to accept
children with disabilities ahead of others?
A: No. Title III does not require providers to take children
with disabilities out of turn.
Q: Our center specializes in “group child care.” Can we
reject a child just because she needs individualized attention?
A: No. Most children will need individualized attention occasionally.
If a child who needs one-to-one attention due to a disability can be integrated
without fundamentally altering a child care program, the child cannot be
excluded solely because the child needs one-to-one care.
For instance, if a child with Down Syndrome and a significant intellectual disability
applies for admission and needs one-to-one care to benefit from a child
care program, and a personal assistant will be provided at no cost to the
child care center (usually by the parents or through a government program),
the child cannot be excluded from the program solely because of the need
for one-to-one care. Any modifications necessary to integrate such a child
must be made if they are reasonable and would not fundamentally alter the
program. This is not to suggest that all children with Down Syndrome need
one-to-one care or must be accompanied by a personal assistant in order
to be successfully integrated into a mainstream child care program. As
in other cases, an individualized assessment is required. But the
ADA generally does not require centers to hire additional staff or provide
constant one-to-one supervision of a particular child with a disability.
Q: What about children whose presence is dangerous to others? Do
we have to take them, too?
A: No. Children who pose a direct threat — a substantial
risk of serious harm to the health and safety of others — do not have
to be admitted into a program. The determination that a child poses a direct
threat may not be based on generalizations or stereotypes about the effects
of a particular disability; it must be based on an individualized assessment
that considers the particular activity and the actual abilities and disabilities
of the individual.
In order to find out whether a child has a medical condition that poses
a significant health threat to others, child care providers may ask all
applicants whether a child has any diseases that are communicable through
the types of incidental contact expected to occur in child care settings.
Providers may also inquire about specific conditions, such as active infectious
tuberculosis, that in fact pose a direct threat.
Q: One of the children in my center hits and bites other children.
His parents are now saying that I can’t expel him because his bad behavior
is due to a disability. What can I do?
A: The first thing the provider should do is try to work with
the parents to see if there are reasonable ways of curbing the child’s
bad behavior. He may need extra naps, “time out,” or changes
in his diet or medication. If reasonable efforts have been made and the
child continues to bite and hit children or staff, he may be expelled from
the program even if he has a disability. The ADA does not require providers
to take any action that would pose a direct threat — a substantial
risk of serious harm — to the health or safety of others. Centers should
not make assumptions, however, about how a child with a disability is likely
to behave based on their past experiences with other children with disabilities.
Each situation must be considered individually.
Q: One of the children in my center has parents who are deaf. I
need to have a long discussion with them about their child’s behavior and
development. Do I have to provide a sign language interpreter for the meeting?
A: It depends. Child care centers must provide effective communication
to the customers they serve, including parents and guardians with disabilities,
unless doing so poses an undue burden. The person with a disability should
be consulted about what types of auxiliary aids and services will be necessary
in a particular context, given the complexity, duration, and nature of
the communication, as well as the person’s communication skills and history.
Different types of auxiliary aids and services may be required for
lengthy parent-teacher conferences than will normally be required for the
types of incidental day-to-day communication that take place when children
are dropped off or picked up from child care. As with other actions required
by the ADA, providers cannot impose the cost of a qualified sign language
interpreter or other auxiliary aid or service on the parent or guardian.
A particular auxiliary aid or service is not required by title III if
it would pose an undue burden, that is, a significant difficulty
or expense, relative to the center or parent company’s resources.
Q: We have a “no pets” policy. Do I have to allow a child
with a disability to bring a service animal, such as a guide dog?
A: Yes. A service animal is not a pet. The ADA requires
you to modify your “no pets” policy to allow the use of a service
animal by a person with a disability. This does not mean that you must
abandon your “no pets” policy altogether, but simply that you
must make an exception to your general rule for service animals.
Q: If an older child has delayed speech or developmental disabilities,
can we place that child in the infant or toddler room?
A: Generally, no. Under most circumstances, children with disabilities
must be placed in their age-appropriate classroom, unless the parents or
guardians agree otherwise.
Q: Can I charge the parents for special services provided to a child
with a disability, provided that the charges are reasonable?
A: It depends. If the service is required by the ADA, you cannot
impose a surcharge for it. It is only if you go beyond what is required
by law that you can charge for those services. For instance, if a child
requires complicated medical procedures that can only be done by licensed
medical personnel, and the center does not normally have such personnel
on staff, the center would not be required to provide the medical services
under the ADA. If the center chooses to go beyond its legal obligation
and provide the services, it may charge the parents or guardians accordingly.
On the other hand, if a center is asked to do simple procedures that are
required by the ADA — such as finger-prick blood glucose tests for children
with diabetes (see question 20) — it cannot charge the parents extra for
those services. To help offset the costs of actions or services that are
required by the ADA, including but not limited to architectural barrier
removal, providing sign language interpreters, or purchasing adaptive equipment,
some tax credits and deductions may be available (see question 24).
Personal Services
Q: Our center has a policy that we will not give medication to any
child. Can I refuse to give medication to a child with a disability?
A: No. In some circumstances, it may be necessary to give medication
to a child with a disability in order to make a program accessible to that
child. While some state laws may differ, generally speaking, as long as
reasonable care is used in following the doctors’ and parents’ or guardians
written instructions about administering medication, centers should not
be held liable for any resulting problems. Providers, parents, and guardians
are urged to consult professionals in their state whenever liability questions
arise.
Q: We diaper young children, but we have a policy that we will not
accept children more than three years of age who need diapering. Can we
reject children older than three who need diapering because of a disability?
A: Generally, no. Centers that provide personal services such
as diapering or toileting assistance for young children must reasonably
modify their policies and provide diapering services for older children
who need it due to a disability. Generally speaking, centers that diaper
infants should diaper older children with disabilities when they would
not have to leave other children unattended to do so.
Centers must also provide diapering services to young children with
disabilities who may need it more often than others their age.
Some children will need assistance in transferring to and from the toilet
because of mobility or coordination problems. Centers should not consider
this type of assistance to be a “personal service.”
Q: We do not normally diaper children of any age who are not toilet
trained. Do we still have to help older children who need diapering or toileting
assistance due to a disability?
A: It depends. To determine when it is a reasonable modification
to provide diapering for an older child who needs diapering because of
a disability and a center does not normally provide diapering, the center
should consider factors including, but not limited to, (1) whether other
non-disabled children are young enough to need intermittent toileting assistance
when, for instance, they have accidents; (2) whether providing toileting
assistance or diapering on a regular basis would require a child care provider
to leave other children unattended; and (3) whether the center would have
to purchase diapering tables or other equipment.
If the program never provides toileting assistance to any child, however,
then such a personal service would not be required for a child with a disability.
Please keep in mind that even in these circumstances, the child could not
be excluded from the program because he or she was not toilet trained if
the center can make other arrangements, such as having a parent or personal
assistant come and do the diapering.
Issues Regarding Specific Disabilities
Q: Can we exclude children with HIV or AIDS from our program to
protect other children and employees?
A: No. Centers cannot exclude a child solely because he has HIV
or AIDS. According to the vast weight of scientific authority, HIV/AIDS
cannot be easily transmitted during the types of incidental contact that
take place in child care centers. Children with HIV or AIDS generally can
be safely integrated into all activities of a child care program. Universal
precautions, such as wearing latex gloves, should be used whenever caregivers
come into contact with children’s blood or bodily fluids, such as when
they are cleansing and bandaging playground wounds. This applies to the
care of all children, whether or not they are known to have disabilities.
Q: Must we admit children with intellectual disabilities and include them
in all center activities?
A: Centers cannot generally exclude a child just because he or
she has an intellectual disability. The center must take reasonable steps to integrate
that child into every activity provided to others. If other children are
included in group sings or on playground expeditions, children with disabilities
should be included as well. Segregating children with disabilities is not
acceptable under the ADA.
Q: What about children who have severe, sometimes life-threatening
allergies to bee stings or certain foods? Do we have to take them?
A: Generally, yes. Children cannot be excluded on the sole basis
that they have been identified as having severe allergies to bee stings
or certain foods. A center needs to be prepared to take appropriate steps
in the event of an allergic reaction, such as administering a medicine
called “epinephrine” that will be provided in advance by the
child’s parents or guardians.
The Department of Justice’s settlement agreements can be found at ADA.gov (see question 26).
Q: What about children with diabetes? Do we have to admit them to
our program? If we do, do we have to test their blood sugar levels?
A: Generally, yes. Children with diabetes can usually be integrated
into a child care program without fundamentally altering it, so they should
not be excluded from the program on the basis of their diabetes. Providers
should obtain written authorization from the child’s parents or guardians
and physician and follow their directions for simple diabetes-related care.
In most instances, they will authorize the provider to monitor the child’s
blood sugar — or “blood glucose” — levels before lunch and
whenever the child appears to be having certain easy-to-recognize symptoms
of a low blood sugar incident. While the process may seem uncomfortable
or even frightening to those unfamiliar with it, monitoring a child’s blood
sugar is easy to do with minimal training and takes only a minute or two.
Once the caregiver has the blood sugar level, he or she must take whatever
simple actions have been recommended by the child’s parents or guardians
and doctor, such as giving the child some fruit juice if the child’s blood
sugar level is low. The child’s parents or guardians are responsible for
providing all appropriate testing equipment, training, and special food
necessary for the child.
The Department of Justice’s settlement agreements can be found at ADA.gov (see question 26).
Q: Do we have to help children take off and put on their leg braces
and provide similar types of assistance to children with mobility impairments?
A: Generally, yes. Some children with mobility impairments may
need assistance in taking off and putting on leg or foot braces during
the child care day. As long as doing so would not be so time consuming
that other children would have to be left unattended, or so complicated
that it can only done by licensed health care professionals, it would be
a reasonable modification to provide such assistance.
The Department of Justice’s settlement agreements can be found at ADA.gov (see question
26).
Making the Child Care Facility Accessible
Q: How do I make my child care center’s building, playground, and
parking lot accessible to people with disabilities?
A: Even if you do not have any disabled people in your program
now, you have an ongoing obligation to remove barriers to access for people
with disabilities. Existing privately-run child care centers must remove
those architectural barriers that limit the participation of children with
disabilities (or parents, guardians, or prospective customers with disabilities)
if removing the barriers is readily achievable, that is, if the
barrier removal can be easily accomplished and can be carried out without
much difficulty or expense. Installing offset hinges to widen a door opening,
installing grab bars in toilet stalls, or rearranging tables, chairs, and
other furniture are all examples of barrier removal that might be undertaken
to allow a child in a wheelchair to participate in a child care program.
Centers run by government agencies must insure that their programs are
accessible unless making changes imposes an undue burden; these changes
will sometimes include changes to the facilities.
Q: We are going to build a new facility. What architectural standards
do we have to follow to make sure that our facility is accessible to people
with disabilities?
A: Newly constructed privately-run child care centers—those
designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 15, 2012 — must be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
This means that they must be built in strict compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards
for Accessible Design. New centers run by government agencies must also meet
the ADA Standards.
Tax Provisions
Q: Are there tax credits or deductions available to help offset
the costs associated with complying with the ADA?
A: To assist businesses in complying with the ADA, Section 44
of the IRS Code allows a tax credit for small businesses and Section 190
of the IRS Code allows a tax deduction for all businesses.
The tax credit is available to businesses that have total revenues of
$1,000,000 or less in the previous tax year or 30 or fewer full-time employees.
This credit can cover 50% of the eligible access expenditures in a year
up to $10,250 (maximum credit of $5,000). The tax credit can be used to
offset the cost of complying with the ADA, including, but not limited to,
undertaking barrier removal and alterations to improve accessibility; provide
sign language interpreters; and for purchasing certain adaptive equipment.
The tax deduction is available to all businesses with a maximum deduction
of $15,000 per year. The tax deduction can be claimed for expenses incurred
in barrier removal and alterations.
To order documents about the tax credit and tax deduction provisions,
contact the Department of Justice’s ADA Information Line (see question
29).
The Department of Justice’s Enforcement Efforts
Q: What is the Department of Justice’s enforcement philosophy regarding
title III of the ADA?
A: Whenever the Department receives a complaint or is asked to
join an on-going lawsuit, it first investigates the allegations and tries
to resolve them through informal or formal settlements. The vast majority
of complaints are resolved voluntarily through these efforts. If voluntary
compliance is not forthcoming, the Department may have to litigate and
seek injunctive relief, damages for aggrieved individuals, and civil penalties.
Q: Has the United States entered into any settlement agreements
involving child care centers?
A: The Department has resolved matters with child care centers through formal settlement agreements, which can be found on the Department’s website at https://www.ada.gov/.
Q: Has the Department of Justice ever sued a child care center for
ADA violations?
A: Yes. The Department’s enforcement activities can be found at https://www.ada.gov/.
Q: Does the United States ever participate in lawsuits brought by
private citizens?
A: Yes. The Department sometimes participates in private suits either by intervention or as amicus curiae—”friend of the court.” The Department’s amicus briefs for ADA cases can be found at https://www.ada.gov/.
Additional Resources
Q: I still have some general questions about the ADA. Where can
I get more information?

NIH Wait List:
Wait List Registration
The NIH has contracted with Adventist HealthCare/LifeWork Strategies to oversee and administer a centralized waitlist for the three NIH sponsored child care centers located in Montgomery County, Maryland. Please note that these centers are often fully enrolled with extensive waitlists.
Effective early May 2022:
Spaces are made available in the following priority order:
NIH Federal Employees and Trainees/Fellows are given first priority for space at the three Maryland Child Care Centers.
If additional spaces are available, second priority is given to Federal Employees of Other Federal Agencies.

90,000 Why are private schools and kindergartens on the rise? And how is the crisis affecting them?
Science and education
Private primary and secondary education is becoming more and more popular. Despite the consequences of sanctions and the economic crisis, declining incomes and other problems, parents have become more active in sending their children to non-state schools and kindergartens. Why is this happening? How long will it last? And how did the crisis affect the cost of the school year? Read in our material.
The crises of recent years seem to have had a negative impact on all areas of life: from theaters and concerts to recycling. It seemed that they should have seriously hit private education as well. However, despite all the difficulties, non-state schools and kindergartens are developing. In the last year, even an increase in interest in them from parents is noticeable.
“Today, I would describe the situation of private education as not bad,” says Alexander Moiseev, director of the Association of Non-Commercial Educational Organizations of Russian Regions (AsNOOR), in an interview with Sobaka.ru. – We were worried that the situation with the coronavirus, what is happening in Ukraine, the fall in incomes of the population – that all this will affect private schools. But this year, surprisingly, we are fixing a fairly good enrollment in the first classes. The number of students not only did not decrease, but even slightly increased.
According to Sobaka.ru in the St. Petersburg Education Committee, last academic year the number of students in private schools in the city was 11161. This year it is expected to grow to 12292, although the final data will be known in November. A similar situation is recorded in relation to private kindergartens. If last year 2492 young Petersburgers attended them, then this year their pupils should increase to 2512.
The fact that the crisis has not affected education much is also confirmed by the situation on the labor market. So, even compared to this summer, the demand for specialists in the field of education in St. Petersburg is growing by 38.9%, Maria Buzunova, head of the press service of hh.ru North-West, told the editors. Petersburg overtook Moscow (+31% of new vacancies), Novosibirsk (+24%), Krasnodar (+20%). In general, in the North-West, the demand for teachers and workers of preschool education increased by 49.5% over the month, neighbors in the Central Federal District posted 39% of new vacancies. The top leaders in terms of demand for teachers and kindergarten workers included the Novgorod region (+179%), Komi (+148%) and Yakutia (+130%),” she explains.
Maria Buzunova
Head of the press service hh.ru North-West:
“Education, even in the private sector, is developing quite actively in St. Petersburg and it cannot be said that it has suffered greatly from the impact of the current crisis situation.”
The secret of success
Experts explain the reasons for the success of private educational institutions in different ways. So, Dina Danilova, head of the British school “ASPECT” KRESTOVSKY, says that over the past year, the demand for premium-segment schools has especially grown. “This is due to the fact that there are not many private schools in the city that can provide a high level of education,” she said.
Meanwhile, Tatyana Batukova, director of the private school Diplomat, says that the growing interest has touched a variety of non-state schools. She notes the role of the 2020 lockdown, to which public schools have been less able to adapt. “I think it all started during the pandemic,” she suggests, “probably due to the fact that remote work did not go smoothly for all schools. This is just a version, but my colleagues and I saw that it was then that the rating of private schools began to rise. Having gone through this stage, parents began to come to us more actively. Now the growth is even stronger.”
Some private kindergartens also attribute their current popularity to more flexible work during the pandemic. “As soon as we were quarantined in 2020, we launched online courses and, surprisingly, we [came] up [attendance] after the first wave of covid,” explains Svetlana Gagarina, director of the New History network of private kindergartens.
At the same time, the well-known St. Petersburg historian and teacher Lev Lurie believes that the demand for private pre-university education is due to several reasons, including endless innovations such as the organization of “patriotism lessons” and flag-raising ceremonies in schools on Mondays. “The realm of widespread ideological monotony repels independently thinking teachers from the school. Although the main factor, of course, is the general crisis in education: we do not have enough decent schools of an average level, not specialized, namely secondary ones, where the main subjects of the program would be decently taught, where good teachers would work. Teachers’ salaries are meager; for many, working with children is a form of charity. Good micro-district schools are especially lacking in new districts. This naturally encourages parents to consider private education,” he explains.
Difficulties old and new
However, the situation in non-state primary and secondary education cannot be called cloudless either. So, almost all the interlocutors of the editorial office complained about the traditional difficulty for Russian schools with personnel. “Yes, there are difficulties – let’s say, the lack of teachers is also felt in the private sector, because this is a nationwide problem,” says Tatyana Shchur, general director of the PEI St. Petersburg Gymnasium ALMA MATER.
“At the end of the last academic year, we really faced the need to search for candidates for vacant positions of foreign teachers, in connection with the departure of some colleagues to their homeland,” said Dina Danilova from the British school “ASPECT”, KRESTOVSKY, stipulating that “today day, the staff of Russian and foreign teachers is staffed with a surplus.
Private education also has to adapt to inflation. Almost all the heads of private schools and kindergartens who were interviewed during the preparation of the material said that they had to raise the cost of education in 2022. “We had to raise prices, albeit by a smaller amount than inflation. Products have risen (and we cook ourselves), all payments have risen, even the Internet has become more expensive, ”admits Daria Ryzhikova, director of the Simba private kindergarten.
Private educational organizations also faced the departure of students whose families decided to leave the country in the last six months. However, this outflow is small. “We had several families that moved away, programmers mostly. But to say that it is directly hard, it is impossible. For 60 children, three left,” explains Svetlana Gagarina from the New History kindergarten network.
New perspectives
However, most experts are confident that despite the above difficulties, non-state primary and secondary education will be actively developed. “I think that now private schools will win leading positions, because our sense of responsibility is higher than in ordinary schools. Therefore, higher scores in the Unified State Examination and the OGE,” suggests Tatyana Batukova, director of the Diplomat private school.
In turn, Tatyana Shchur, general director of the PEI St. Petersburg Gymnasium ALMA MATER, believes that the rapid growth of private schools should not be expected in the near future. In her opinion, the situation in the region will be stable. “The supply completely covers the demand, and there is no impression that something will change in the short term,” she says, adding that the demand for non-state private gardens, on the contrary, will become even greater in the near future.
Daria Ryzhikova, director of the private kindergarten “Simba”, agrees with the last statement. “There are not enough public kindergartens, and the ones that do exist are overcrowded,” she explains. – Recently, two of my children [from the group] left in the hope that they were given a place in a state kindergarten. But now their mother calls and asks to come back with tears. There are now 42 children in the group, which is very difficult for children who are used to having no more than 15 in our group. ”
“Of course, a lot will depend on the situation in the country as a whole, which is becoming more and more difficult,” says Alexander Moiseev, director of the Association of Nonprofit Educational Organizations of Russian Regions (AsNOOR). – If there is some kind of stressful situation for society, it will affect us as well. But in general, the last 30 years in private education convinced me that people need it and will exist. Well, it will live or be in a depressed state, but it will be. And then, if everything in the country is good, then we will be fine.”
Lev Lurie
Historian, teacher:
“Unless some decisive measures are taken, and I still don’t see that spending on public education will sharply increase, so that knowledgeable and able to teach people will come here, public education will rot under such conditions, and more and more people will be attracted to private schools.”

Cinnamon B.
Cinnamon cared for our newborn identical twin girls. We were first time parents so we needed as much help as we possibly could get. Our girls were 3 months old and on the smaller side when Cinnamon started caring for them. Cinnamon was phenomenal! She was a wealth of knowledge and extremely caringfor our girls. She would routinely update us with pictures of the girls and what they were doing (i.e. listening to music, tummy time, etc.). Cinnamon also put them on a organized schedule which was a game changer. Our girls tremendously improved their napping/sleeping habits due to Cinnamon’s organized structure. This made our lives much easier! She also fit right in with our family and was very easy to get along with. I would hire Cinnamon 10/10 times. Could not recommend her enough!…

For our second child, she had him sleeping through the night in no time and taught us so many techniques just incase of breakthroughs. For our third, he had major re-flux issues and again, taught us so much to get us through. I have an especially intense job and even when my husband would help out it was still disruptive. We were so happy with her the first time that weeks after I found out we were pregnant with our third, I called to see if she was available. I could go on and on.

Definition: Percentage of licensed child care facilities offering evening, weekend, and/or overnight care, by type of facility (e. g., in 2019, 2% of licensed child care centers in California offered evening, weekend, or overnight care).
Data Source: California Child Care Resource and Referral Network, California Child Care Portfolio (Apr. 2020).
Footnote: Evening care is available after 7pm, overnight care is offered from 7pm through the following morning, and weekend care is available on Saturdays or Sundays. Child care centers are facilities that provide care for infants, preschoolers, and/or school-age children during all or part of the day. These facilities may be large or small and can be operated independently by nonprofit organizations or by churches, school districts, or other organizations. Most child care centers are licensed by the California Dept. of Social Services (CDSS). In family child care homes, care for up to 14 children is offered in the home of the provider, often a parent; care is typically provided for children of a variety of ages. Family child care homes also are licensed by CDSS. N/A means that data are not available. California figures exclude counties for which data are not available.

Measures of Early Care and Education on Kidsdata.org
On kidsdata.org, indicators of early childhood care and education include:
The percentage of children ages 0-5 whose parents read with them, by weekly frequency
Single-year estimates of the percentage of children ages 3-5 enrolled in preschool or kindergarten, by county and county group, and, for the U.S. and California, by age and by race/ethnicity; also available are five-year estimates for cities, school districts, and counties with 10,000+ residents and legislative districts
Kidsdata.org also provides the following measures of licensed child care in California:*
The annual cost of child care for infants and preschoolers in child care centers and family child care homes
The percentage of children in working families for whom child care spaces are available
The number of child care spaces in licensed facilities and the percentage of full-time and part-time spaces available
The number of licensed child care facilities and the percentage of facilities offering evening, weekend or overnight care
The percentage of child care requests by age group and the percentage of requests for evening, weekend or overnight care
*The California Child Care Resource and Referral Network tracks licensed facilities (child care centers and family child care homes) providing care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and/or school-age children during all or part of the day. Data are available only for licensed facilities. Many families use license-exempt care, such as child care provided by relatives or friends.

Why This Topic Is Important
Experiences during early childhood lay the foundation for future health and well being, and the quality of children’s early care and education (ECE) can have significant, lasting effects (1, 2). High-quality ECE programs deliver consistent, developmentally sound, and emotionally supportive care and education (1, 3). This type of care before age 5 is associated with improved cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health, as well as increased school readiness, academic achievement, and earnings in adulthood (1, 2). Positive outcomes are particularly pronounced for children from low-income families, children of color, and those at risk for academic problems (1, 3, 4). A critically important ECE need for many families is child care; reliable child care can help families move out of poverty and achieve financial stability by enabling parents to work or pursue education and job training (2, 3).
However, finding affordable, high-quality ECE is a major challenge for many families, especially in California, and access differs based on geography, race/ethnicity, and income (2, 3, 4). In 2018, California was ranked the least affordable state for center-based infant care in the nation (2). For example, costs for center-based infant care in California made up an estimated 18% of the median annual income for married couples and 56% for single parents in 2018 (2).

How Children Are Faring
In 2018, an estimated 61% of California children ages 3-5 were enrolled in preschool or kindergarten, similar to percentages from previous years. An estimated 55% of Hispanic/Latino 3- to 5-year-olds were enrolled in pre-primary programs, compared with more than two-thirds of their African American/black, Asian American, white, and multiracial peers. Across counties with data in 2014-2018, the percentage of children in this age group enrolled in preschool or kindergarten ranged from less than 50% (Kern, Tulare) to more than 75% (Marin, San Francisco).
California’s 36,827 licensed child care centers and family child care homes provided 976,835 child care spaces in 2019. Overall, the number of licensed facilities and spaces have been on the decline since 2008. According to 2019 estimates, there was one licensed child care space available for every four California children ages 0-12 with working parents; in some counties, availability was as low as one in six.
The average annual cost of licensed infant care exceeded $17,000 in child care centers and approached $12,000 in family child care homes in 2018. Care for preschool-age children was less expensive, but still more than $12,000 in child care centers and nearly $11,000 in family child care homes.
Policy Implications
Early childhood is a critical period of biological, cognitive, and social-emotional development (1). The quality of children’s environments and experiences during these years has lasting effects (1). High-quality early care and education (ECE), in particular, can have positive and long-term impacts on children ranging from improved cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better health, educational attainment, and earnings later in life (1, 2). Without access to high-quality early learning opportunities, children can fall behind their peers, creating an academic achievement gap that has been shown to widen with age (1, 3). Leaders increasingly see investments in ECE as a way to reduce educational and health inequities by income and race/ethnicity (1, 4, 5). And research shows these investments pay off; for example, it is estimated that every $1 invested in high-quality preschool yields a return of up to $17 in social benefits (4). ECE also plays a critical role in family financial stability, as many parents need child care in order to work or go to school (4).
However, a significant number of families have difficulty accessing quality ECE, especially in California, due to a lack of program availability and affordability (3, 4). California was ranked the least affordable state for center-based infant care in the nation in 2018, and just 14% of the state’s eligible infants and toddlers have access to subsidized child care (2, 3). Although the state has made some progress, California’s ECE system remains underfunded and will need additional efforts and investments in order to build a comprehensive, high-quality system that is accessible and affordable to all, while ensuring a skilled and adequately compensated workforce (3, 4).
Policy and program options that could improve ECE include:
Increasing state funding for ECE, tying funding to program quality and prioritizing care for infants, toddlers, and children with the greatest needs; in particular, substantially expanding child care subsidies and spaces for income-eligible infants and toddlers (3, 4)
Creating adequate capacity for high-quality, universal preschool for all children ages 3-4, ensuring access for the most vulnerable children; also, ensuring that these programs meet established quality benchmarks, such as student-teacher ratios and professional standards (3, 4)
Reducing system fragmentation by working toward a streamlined, inclusive state ECE governance body to provide overall leadership, improve program coordination and accountability, and integrate data and funding streams (4)
Continuing to strengthen California’s ECE quality improvement and standards systems, and making sure that all publicly-funded programs participate in a continuous improvement process and have access to coaching or other program support (4)
Strengthening the state’s ECE workforce infrastructure to elevate the profession, provide clear pathways for career advancement, improve reimbursement rates to increase wages, and ensure that all providers receive coordinated, standardized, high-quality professional training and support (3, 4)
Ensuring that all California children receive a developmental screening and have access to quality early intervention services or other support services as needed; also, improving alignment and transitions between systems for infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and K-12 students, especially for students with special needs (3, 4)

How a Solo Mom Can Find Child Care for Night-Shift Work
How Solo Moms can make the night shift work
Managing life and work is challenging for any parent. For a Solo Mom, this is twice the work without a backup parent. Solo Moms who work the night shift face the added challenge of finding quality child care because many child-care centers are closed at night. Although stressful, it can be accomplished—so let’s break it down.
In many instances, the night shift offers advantages to the day shift—so good for you for thinking outside the box. In some industries, night-shift hours may pay more than daytime hours. In addition, work at night may afford a Solo Mom more daytime hours with her kids; however, those benefits come at a price.
Even though it is overwhelming, there are ways to meet the needs of all involved and create a work–life balance as a Solo Mom. If you’re a Solo Mom working the night shift, here are some things to consider when making arrangements for nighttime child care:
Start with family and friends. Consider whether you have a family member or a friend who is able and willing to help. Depending on the circumstances of the individual, this can be an arrangement for payment or as a gratis service. For example, if my sister-in-law needed a hand with her kids, you can be certain that I’d have my kids’ cousins over as much and as often as was necessary. Or perhaps you have a friend who could use the money and who would be willing to help in exchange for payment. Consider this person’s willingness and ability to make a firm commitment. You don’t want to strain the bonds of friends or family if you foresee obstacles to a person completing the job reliably. For example, if this person has children of her own, would she be willing to absorb your sick child? Make sure she knows it is OK to say no to the proposition. Do, however, exhaust your friends and family options before moving on to someone else.
Maintain a sleep environment. Keep in mind that it is preferable for children to sleep in their own beds at night if possible. Although this may not always be possible, it is worth striving for.
Create backup arrangements. Aim to develop a stable of people who are willing to be an emergency backup in the event that your regularly scheduled help is suddenly not available. Let your friends and family know your schedule a month out, and ask who can be a backup on each night you are working. Explain that you will call them only in an emergency, but that their help would set your mind at ease about maintaining a work schedule and protecting your job. This might be a good option for friends and family who would like to help but who are not necessarily able to make a firm and regular commitment.
If you hire someone you don’t know, get a background check. If you need to go beyond friends and family, make sure to thoroughly vet any child-care center or the personal and professional references of anyone you hire. If you are considering a child-care center, make sure that the center is licensed. Investigate whether any complaints have been made. Go with your gut, and trust your instinct on the information you get from a thorough investigation.
Develop a bedtime routine. Develop a bedtime routine and stick to it. Make sure that any child-care provider is on board with it. For example, begin by brushing teeth and then get into bed with a comfort item. Then let the child read two stories and sing a song or whatever works. Depending on the individual circumstances, you may want to call to say goodnight if that is logistically possible and not upsetting or otherwise counterproductive.
Make sure any provider is certified in CPR. If your child is an infant, make sure caregivers also know how to prevent sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS. You should be confident that they know how to accurately assess an emergency and will be able and willing to seek medical attention if necessary. Be certain that they are aware of any allergies your child has to medication and foods.
As a sleep-deprived Solo Mom, you must build self-care into this equation if it is to work long term. Budget for some hours to allow you to sleep at the end of your shift. No one can be launched from work to life with small children without any rest. Although Solo Moms are often budget-conscious, child care is not the place to trim. Make sure that you are addressing your need for sleep as you consider the best option for your child.
Care.com and Sittercity are online child-care service listings you can use to find help. Make sure to thoroughly check anyone you interview, including the person’s driving records. In some states, background checks do not include driving records, so you may need to investigate them separately.

After-hours child care in New Orleans is a ‘rare find’ for parents working late hours | Education
Jemell Melanson’s days stretch late into the night.
There are the 12-hour nursing shifts at Ochsner Medical Center. Picking up her two kids at an after-hours child care center in Jefferson. Then a trip across the Huey P. Long Bridge to the house in Harvey.
On nights when all goes right, her kids, 21-month-old Romello and 3-year-old Raynelle, will be bathed and in bed by 10:30 p.m. On nights when there are snags, well, things can push much later.
Teacher Nikita Small, left, helps Raynelle, 3, center, and Abeera Farooq, right, eat dinner at Nettles Academy in Jefferson, La. Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019. Nettles Academy is one of just a handful of places in the seven-parish metro area that provides after-hours day care for parents who have nontraditional schedules.
STAFF PHOTO BY MAX BECHERER
It is a grueling schedule, but one made a bit easier by Nettles Academy, the extended-hours child care facility that Melanson calls a “rare find. “
The center is one of just a handful in the area that remain open past 6 p.m. And as a single mom juggling two nursing jobs, Melanson said she was running out of options before enrolling her kids there.
“I was really in a dilemma before,” said Melanson, who often works five days a week, with long shifts on at least three of those days. “I had a family friend watching them, but they kept raising prices and not being available. … It was either quit work and be a stay-at-home mom, or come here.”
Melanson’s story is similar to those told by many other parents who work nontraditional hours. About a dozen or so who were recently interviewed bemoaned how difficult it is to find reliable child care options outside the typical 9-to-5 work schedule. Some said they had to quit jobs when they couldn’t find a suitable place for their kids.
Data support their stories: In a 2018 report, the Urban Institute estimated that 62% of families in Louisiana — including some 59,100 children younger than 6 — have parents who work some nontraditional hours, and 15% have parents whose working hours are primarily outside the 9-to-5 time frame.
Yet state-approved child care options at these times are few and far between. The Louisiana Department of Education lists 80 centers statewide that are licensed to provide nighttime care for babies and toddlers. But in practice, few of them stay open past 6 p.m.
The choices are especially sparse in and around New Orleans, even though it’s a region that relies on tourism dollars and has seen a growing health care economy. Both of those sectors include a host of jobs with late night and early morning working hours.

Throughout the seven-parish metro area, only five child care facilities are licensed to stay open past 9 p. m., state data show. And while there are nanny services and people who provide late-night care in their homes, parents complain that those services can be expensive, unreliable or of low quality.
Those were the concerns of Brittany Salerian, a 29-year-old store manager for Coach at Lakeside Shopping Center, who drops off her 6-month-old son, Oscar, at Shirley Honore’s Love Center Learning Academy, a 24-hour child care center nicknamed “The Love Center” on South Claiborne Avenue.
Because Coach’s business caters to peak shopping hours during Thanksgiving and Christmas, and her husband works until 7:30 p.m. as a behavioral therapist, Salerian said she needed a center, rather than a single babysitter. That way, she avoids the risk that a sitter will call in sick or have some other reason they can’t work when Salerian is working.
With $3M investment, New Orleans doubles down on early education to catch state match
“We needed something that went until at least 8 p. m.,” she said. “We also needed stability.”
Like other parents, Salerian said she had mixed feelings about her child’s arrangements, in part because the Love Center is on the other side of town from her Lakeview home and her job in Metairie.
“I myself would have liked to have different options, to really choose that place that felt right,” she said. “But with it being our only choice, we’re happy with it.”
Bearing the brunt
While the city’s nurses and retail managers struggle with the problem of off-hours day care, Gina Adams, a senior research fellow at the Urban Institute, says the problem is even worse for low-income families who rely on government aid to pay for child care.

Melanson estimates she brings home about $85,000 a year between her two jobs, and Salerian says her household income is about $150,000 a year.
But many families make much less and can’t afford child care without some kind of public assistance. Advocates have estimated that parents of 173,000 low-income children, birth through age 3, across Louisiana cannot afford quality care.
In Louisiana, the Education Department sets the threshold for low-income as a household of two earning less than $28,836, or a family of four earning less than $41,200 a year.
In a report she co-authored, “Increasing Access to Quality Child Care for Four Priority Populations,” Adams argued that working is made harder for low-income families who seek care when most day care centers are closed.
That’s because while high-quality care can exist in people’s homes, or in unlicensed settings, recent attempts by federal lawmakers to improve standards have translated to more investment in day care centers — meaning that families often can’t access that government aid if they choose to use a family babysitter or in-home, informal day cares.
Minimum wage, equal pay, early childhood education top John Bel Edwards’ second term priorities
In Louisiana, 92% of the children whose families get government aid for child care are served in day care centers. Many more would be getting government aid if they could, Adams says, as 60% of low-income kids likely face barriers getting into those centers, including some families whose parents have schedules that don’t line up with the center’s hours.
“That means the majority of resources in Louisiana are going to settings the majority of low-income kids have trouble accessing,” Adams said in an interview.

The problem could get worse in and near New Orleans, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed hospitality and food service are among the fastest-growing job fields in the city.
There are now 53.4% more people working those jobs than a decade ago. The jobs often involve rotating schedules, and they also can be some of the lowest paid, paying as little as $10 an hour.
“We need to understand this better,” Adams said. “The challenge is to design something that works for families, rather than try to fit families into what the current market provides.”
Little 24-hour care
While some child care centers advertise being open 24 hours, few really are. The Love Center is the lone place that regularly stays open past midnight, and directors of most of the others say they limit their pickup times to 10 p.m. or earlier.
Most providers say there’s not enough late-night business to warrant the extra investment in getting a 24-hour license, which has extra requirements.
All child care facility owners are required to get a license when they provide care to seven or more children for at least 12½ hours a week, which then requires them to have inspections and other state oversight.
State rules require that centers operating after 9 p.m. or before 5 a.m. must have two adults, who are awake, regardless of how many children are being cared for during those hours, and that each child must have a separate bed or cot; meals offered; and time for personal care, such as teeth-brushing.
As more women run for office, child care remains a hurdle
Debbie Martin, the manager of Discovery Kids in Mid-City, is among the providers who say it doesn’t pay to operate beyond a certain time.
That’s why, right now, she stays open only until 9:30 p.m. She said she’s been in operation for 16 years and tried for most of that time to offer overnight services for parents. But she eventually gave up on it.

Nettles Academy is one of just a handful of places in the seven-parish metro area that provides after-hours day care for parents who have nontraditional schedules.

“It’s really not feasible to pay two ladies to stay here all night when in fact I have one child in here,” Martin said. “I spent long periods of time hoping the business would get me more kids … but I was actually losing money rather than making money.”
Facing limited options, parents have scrambled to work their own solutions.
For instance, Amanda Devereux, 40, relies on a trusted network she has built over time — which includes her ex-husband, friends and a babysitter on retainer for last-minute situations — to watch her three school-age kids Ingrid, Leo and Noam when she’s called to work as a doula.
Others, like 35-year-old Nicole Dufrene, who works in sports medicine, found themselves exploring unlicensed centers offered in babysitters’ home. Dufrene eventually got a sitter she likes and trusts with her two children, 2-year-old Riley 10-month-old Ava — but only after six trials with home-based child care operations she wasn’t so happy with.
The reliance on care from unlicensed workers — especially among sitters watching multiple children — worries Teresa Falgoust, who works for Agenda for Children, a local advocacy organization.
“They’re not held to the same standards as licensing,” Falgoust said. “There are some regulations in place, but there can be up to six children in a home without any government oversight whatsoever.”
A nationwide problem
There are some bright spots around the country for parents seeking care during nontraditional hours.
In a June report, the publication Child Care Aware said that some employers have begun to address the problem themselves.
In North Carolina, for example, managers at Purdue Farms worked with child care providers when they planned a shift change for employees. And in California, children of workers at San Francisco International Airport are cared for at an on-site center from 5 a.m. to midnight seven days a week — a flex program created by employers, unions and community groups.
However, those instances are rare. Only 8% of the nation’s day care centers offer some sort of before- or aftercare, according to Child Care Aware, and only 6% offer overnight care.

That’s despite the fact that 43% of all children under 18 in the U.S. have at least one parent who works an irregular schedule, meaning about 31 million children need care during nontraditional hours.
Back at Nettles Academy, director Ayango Nettles said she and her mother, Tina Thomas, who founded the day care center in 1986, had tried doing overnight care. But they couldn’t make it work.
At a flat fee of $25 a week, even the aftercare wasn’t profitable, Nettles said, but they provided it anyway because they knew parents needed it.
“We are very passionate about providing care to the metro area and about keeping tuition low,” Nettles said. “We’re just doing what we love.”

There is always a 6 p.m. traffic jam outside Wishing Well Daycare in Hayward. Three parents are there to pick up their kids after a 12-hour day and three more are there to drop them off for a 12-hour night.
Fouziya Bawazir directs the flow as owner of the 24-hour home-based child care service she operates in her single-story, three-bedroom home. She rotates 15 kids whose parents are single, with many working in essential services with schedules that are in flux.
“There are kids here all the time,” says Bawazir, an immigrant from Pakistan who arrived in Chicago in 1995, and moved to Hayward four years ago. “Some parents have to work at night and have no place to drop the kids. I cannot say, ‘No,’ so I do it 24 hours.”
Bawazir takes in kids on weekends. She takes in kids on holidays if need be. While not yet 50, she considers herself a grandmother who can always be counted on because she is always home, except for Sundays, when she shops for groceries to use during the coming week.
“I know how the parents are struggling,” says Bawazir, who raised two kids as a single mom with a full-time job herself, as an insurance verification agent for a hospital in Chicago. She could have used the type of service she is now providing. “Every day I was running and running and struggling and struggling.”

The sheer relentlessness of operating a 24-hour day care center was brought to light last Friday when “Through the Night,” a feature-length documentary on round-the-clock child care began at the Roxie Theatre’s virtual cinema. The film, which will be online through Christmas Eve and reach PBS in the spring, is about Dee’s Tots in New Rochelle, N.Y., and the single working mothers who depend on it. Dee’s is run by Patrick and Deloris Hogan, a married couple who split shifts and take turns sleeping.
“This work is hard,” Deloris testifies in the movie. “I’m so tired that I feel like if I lay down, I might not get back up.” But there are two of them at Dee’s and just one of Bawazir at Wishing Well.
Bawazir was sent a link to watch the documentary but has not been able to concentrate for more than a minute before being interrupted.
“I have to check up on the kids even when they are sleeping,” she says.
But she has seen enough to know that it was made before the onset of COVID-19, which makes the job even tougher than depicted in the film.
“We are working harder than before with disinfecting everything,” she says.
Lilliana Vallete, 5, leaps over a slide while all other children play at Wishing Well Daycare in Hayward.

To help enforce the protocols and and run the center, Bawazir has two daytime helpers, but she also needs a uniformed traffic cop to handle the transfer of kids. Parents and kids must stay in the car until summoned in order to keep everybody 6 feet apart. Once inside, Bawazir allows siblings close contact but keeps everybody else spread out while taking lessons, eating and sleeping. She invented a 20-second ditty that the kids sing while washing their hands. Everybody gets a health check upon arrival and any child with a temperature or runny nose gets sent back home, as much as it hurts Bawazir to do so.
“We have to work together to save each other,” she says. “We are like a family.”
Bawazir is not the only home-based provider to offer 24-hour child care in Hayward. Her own mother also does it at Day & Night Daycare, and there is Tree House Daycare. But Bawazir may be the only one who does it on her own, overnight.
“It is life-consuming,” says Gina Fromer, CEO of the Children’s Council of San Francisco, a referral organization dedicated to supporting the child care system. “The caregivers tend to give and give and give. They sacrifice their own lives to support those children’s needs.”
The city and county of San Francisco has 700 licensed home-based child care facilities, but only 5% offer overnight care, according to statistics provided by the Children’s Council. Kim Kruckel, an attorney with the Child Care Law Center in Berkeley, knows of only a few homes Bay Area-wide to offer the overnight service.
“It is expensive to provide due to labor costs,” Kruckel says. “Twenty-four-hour day care doesn’t pencil out money-wise, and that is why there aren’t that many of them.”
Overnight child care was not in Bawazir’s business plan. When she opened Wishing Well two years ago, she planned to run it on the standard 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule. But Bawazir could not refuse a parent who called pleading for an extension. She’d been on the pleading end herself with her own kids in Chicago.
“The kids are asleep and they have to pick them up and put them in the car and take them home,” says Bawazir, who couldn’t bear to see it. So she started allowing kids to stay over, which led to her overnight service. Lights are out at 9:30 p.m. and any child still there from the day service is allowed to stay over.
The operating license does not limit the hours a service can be open, but there is a ratio of providers to children, which varies by county. With staff, Bawazir is licensed to have as many as 14 kids at a time, but no more than eight overnight without adding staff.
“She plays a huge role in allowing me to go to work full time during the day and then go to school in the evenings,” says Aisha Esa, 29, of Oakland, who works at a nonprofit while attending nursing school. This requires her to drop off her daughter Lilliana Vallette, 5, at Wishing Well and pick her up at 10:30 p.m. three nights a week and at 5:30 p.m. three nights a week, leaving out only Sundays.
“She is literally my daughter’s second mom,” Esa says.
As such, Bawazir throws a birthday party for each of her kids, with a cake from Costco and balloons. She was off on Thanksgiving this year, but she still took in four kids who had nowhere else to go.
“This is something that makes you feel great by just doing the job,” she says.
Sasha Jones, 32, of Hayward has been using Wishing Well since her daughter, Ivy Hubbard, was born four years ago. Jones works full time as a caregiver with a second job that often causes Ivy to be left there 10 hours a day. Sometimes, when it is too late or Jones is too tired, Jones leaves Ivy there overnight in safekeeping. She’s never heard Ivy cry or complain when she drops her off or picks her up.
“I don’t know where I would be without Fouziya because I don’t have family here to fall back on,” she says. “There will be moments when it is just me and Ivy and she will say, ‘I love Fouziya and Fouziya loves me,’ I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’”
Bawazir’s clients range in age from 8 months to 8 years, and she’s taken them as young as 2 months. They are turned out at age 13, but that is not the end of the relationship.
“They promise they will come back to see me when they become doctors and firemen,” she says. “One little guy promises he will come see me when he becomes president of the United States.”

Round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow
Round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow at an affordable price. A convenient private kindergarten near the Lefortovo metro station with a flexible visiting schedule will be the solution to all your problems!
A 24-hour kindergarten in Moscow only 10-15 years ago seemed an unattainable pinnacle of service and services. Today, many preschool institutions, children’s clubs provide an opportunity for parents to leave their children for a night stay without any risk or fear.
The rhythm of life in the capital sometimes leaves parents no choice, forcing them several times a month or even a week to deal with the issue of night stay of a child of preschool age. And the Binny Kindergarten with round-the-clock stay in Moscow will be the best solution to this problem!

When is a round-the-clock kindergarten in demand in Moscow?
Unfortunately, not every family has the opportunity to provide permanent and, most importantly, reliable supervision of a small child at night. Most often, such a need arises in the following cases:
Changes in the work schedule of parents, if they both work in shifts.
A shift in the work schedule of a parent in an incomplete family.
Unforeseen situations: trips, business trips, calls, emergencies (for example, admission to the hospital for treatment), etc.
Planned renovation or moving work, when it is simply physically problematic to accommodate the child comfortably for the night.
In all cases, the specialists of the paid kindergarten in Moscow Binny will provide proper supervision and care for your child at night.
Are there alternatives?
In each case and in each family they are individual. But a round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow is in any case more useful and more convenient for you and your child than searching for possible options for babysitting. Moreover, such options are not always safe and will not add peace of mind to you. For example:
Grandparents are not always in good health, which makes it difficult to look after a child and only adds to the risks.
Involving acquaintances, friends, neighbors in night babysitting does not provide the required level of safety and comfort.
In terms of expenses, hired nannies sometimes exceed the payment for kindergartens with round-the-clock stay in Moscow, but it is not always possible to quickly check a person and make sure of his conscientiousness.
As a result, the best option is to use the special service of our kindergarten – 24/7 operation with night stay. It’s simple, affordable and convenient.
More photos in our gallery.
Tight access control and increased security measures.
Constant supervision of specialists, accustoming the child to fall asleep on his own.
Accident insurance for complete peace of mind.
If your child visits the Binny Garden during the daytime, then staying at a favorite place at night becomes a kind of adventure for him, which develops his independence and helps him to better socialize in society.
Round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow: prices
There are basically two main models for parents attending our kindergarten:
A predetermined schedule of night and day stays for children. It is relevant when parents know in advance when they need the service of a round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow. This model is paid in the form of a subscription.
Single night stay. If there is an urgent need to identify a child for the night, you can always promptly send him to his usual kindergarten, where he happily goes during the day. In this case, additional night stay days are added to the monthly fee.
We try to keep an individual approach to each parent. Our round-the-clock kindergarten in Moscow offers the best prices , which are available to the vast majority of families who are considering private kindergartens as an alternative to state institutions.

Night kindergartens in Spain – Preschool section: from birth to 3 years
Who are night nurseries in Spain for? Working hours in night Kindergartens in Spain. For what age are night kindergartens in Spain intended? Who is accepted into night kindergarten?
In Spain, as in most countries, kindergartens are a great help for working parents.
For both single-parent families and full families where both parents work, such a kindergarten is the only alternative to keep their job.
But what if the work schedule with the kindergarten does not coincide at all? After all, not all working hours in Spain last from 08:00 to 15:00.
For example, police officers, firefighters, medical workers, cleaners, laborers and many others work in shifts (“por turno”), on weekends or at night, just when most kindergartens are closed.
In these cases, you have to choose between career and family. Especially when it is an incomplete family or when both parents work.
There are various solutions to the problem:
Leave the child to grandparents – which is not always possible.
Hiring a nanny is beyond the reach of many.
To solve this problem, some kindergartens in Spain have increased working hours and working days (up to weekends and nights). True, this is still an innovation.
This kind of kindergarten has long been common in Latin America (Mexico and Argentina), and in Spain it is just beginning to spread.
Night gardens in Spain (guarderías nocturnas)
Parents who use the service of night kindergartens (guarderías nocturnas) explain that such kindergartens attract many families. True, at the moment in Spain there are not so many “kindergartens 24 hours” and not so many parents who are considering using such a service. While this is unusual.
However, there are kindergartens, which, despite being located in the provinces and various cities, have started working at night and on weekends since 2007, and very successfully.
Night kindergartens in Spain may have several names:
“kindergartens 24 hours” (guarderías 24 horas),
baby night services (servicios baby night),
educators – “owls” (cuidadores buho),
children’s hotels (hoteles infantiles)
or “night kangaroos” (canguros nocturnos).
Who are these kindergartens intended for?
Basically for:
Parents who work at night and in shifts from 20:00
Parents who, due to the fact that they have no one to leave the child with, cannot go for a walk with friends, go to the cinema, relax
Most often, parents leave their children in the night garden from time to time, on a special occasion (movie, walk with friends).
Night gardens in Spain. Issue price
In general, night kindergartens are institutions that have been successfully operating for several years and have decided to expand their working hours to meet customer demand. For the price, it’s worth it.
Both the regime and the payment of work in Spain for these establishments differ. In some places, parents may be charged double the rate, while other kindergartens simply work half the night and charge the regular price.
What are the working hours of night kindergartens in Spain?
Basically, night kindergartens start working from 20:00-21:00, but they finish at different times: most open until 02:30, others until 04:00 and a few work until 7:30, 8:00 or 9:00 am.
When kindergartens are oriented towards working parents, the night kindergarten service is provided daily.
When kindergartens are focused on the leisure of parents, the night kindergarten service is provided on weekends, and sometimes only once a month (on Friday or Saturday).
What is the age group for night kindergartens in Spain?
Multi-age kindergartens accept children from 0 to 12 years old.
Most kindergartens are designed for children from 0 to 6 years old.
In fact, most often the services of night kindergartens are used by parents who have children from 2 to 5 years old.
Who is admitted to night kindergarten?
Some kindergartens offer a night kindergarten service to everyone (if the child meets the required age), but there are also kindergartens “for soybeans” that offer a night kindergarten service only to those who attend a day kindergarten.
Services provided
Standard services provided include child care, entertainment, dinner and a bed for the child to sleep. At the same time, everything depends on the kindergarten, in some, dinner is included in the price, and in other kindergartens, the child is allowed to eat only what the parents have left.
Also, in some night kindergartens, you can leave and pick up a child at any time of the day, while in others you can leave and pick up a child only at a strictly allotted time.
What is the cost of night kindergarten?
The price varies depending on the services provided. So some kindergartens charge a fixed price, while others charge an hourly fee (with a minimum number of hours required). In general, the services of a night kindergarten will cost 25-50 euros per night.
In kindergartens, which work every day all night, the cost is different. But basically it is about the same as the cost of day care: 250-400 euros per month.
There are night kindergartens in almost all cities in Spain, you just need to find out about this service in an ordinary day kindergarten. For example, LA ESCOLA BRESSOL PIOLETS, located in Barcelona, offers a 24-hour night kindergarten service and allows parents to combine work and family life.

Services of a private kindergarten in Podolsk, paid commercial kindergartens, the best kindergarten “Ordinary Miracle”
For every kid there comes a time when you need to go to kindergarten. The further mental, mental and physical development of your child largely depends on the choice of this preschool institution. Therefore, many parents are concerned about the choice of where to send the baby: to a private paid kindergarten or a municipal institution.
It’s no secret that in most municipal kindergartens, overcrowding, insufficient material base, lack of qualified staff are a serious obstacle to the full development of children. And often the best solution to a problem is a commercial private kindergarten.
NChDOU “Ordinary Miracle” began its work in 2011. Since the opening, the staff of the institution has been striving to render such a kindergarten in Podolsk, where each child will be surrounded by attention and care as much as possible, and will receive comprehensive intellectual and physical development in a playful and exciting way.
These basic principles are confirmed by the issued License of the Ministry of Education for the implementation of educational activities within the framework of the program of preschool education and the physical, artistic and aesthetic program for the development of young children No. 70063 dated 12/20/2012. License. valid 77086 dated May 17, 2017
On the basis of our private kindergartens in Podolsk, the Federal Experimental Site of the Russian Academy of Education has been deployed. The main task is to improve the health, physical and mental development of children. Extract from the RAO protocol.
Our private kindergarten in Podolsk, confirming its name, is an example of a wonderful combination of educational and upbringing processes. In an unobtrusive form of play, the baby acquires an idea of the diversity of the world around him. In small groups of a private kindergarten in Podolsk, it is easier for a teacher to give each child maximum attention. In such a friendly and calm environment, the kids feel secure and loved, so they visit the group with pleasure. Our experienced, sensitive and attentive teachers conduct interesting classes:
Our main activity:
Speech Development Survian Speech therapist Psychologist Rhythmoplasty English language Preparation for school Family
Additional services:
Yoga KIDS Chess Lego EDUCATION
In our kindergarten, the child not only gets acquainted with the outside world, gains communication skills with friends, but also prepares well for school. Collective and individual sessions with a psychologist and speech therapist are of great importance. In a private kindergarten in Podolsk, the equipment of playrooms and playgrounds is at the most modern level.
Ordinary Miracle Kindergarten opened in 2011, licensed by the Ministry of Education No. 70063 to carry out educational activities within the framework of the preschool education program and the physical, artistic and aesthetic development program for young children.
This means that choosing our private kindergarten in Podolsk, you can be sure that it fully complies with the highest requirements of our legislation, fire regulations and SES requirements are met.
Advantages of paid kindergarten services in Podolsk
The fee for a child’s stay in a municipal institution is lower, but the quality of upbringing and education is much lower. In large groups, the teacher does not have the opportunity to constantly monitor each baby, there are conflicts. The child is often sick and the mother has to stay at home with him.
In our private commercial kindergarten, under the supervision of a nurse and a doctor, children get sick less often. Surrounded by attention and a warm attitude, children develop better physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
The chefs strive to diversify the menu, including dishes that even the little ones and fussy eaters like.
You choose a convenient visiting schedule: a full day group or a few hours in the morning.
The staff is highly qualified, as the selection is carried out on a competitive basis.

Kindergarten, night club, parking: entrepreneurs and top managers named unusual places for productive work
1. Kindergarten
.pro, Mr Wolf
I am an entrepreneur, so I work always and everywhere. The most unusual place where you have to interact and influence (as it is more correct to call the work of an entrepreneur) is the kindergarten of my youngest daughter. While she is changing clothes, I answer messages or dictate texts, check mail. Once I needed to make an urgent conference call and had to do it in a kindergarten gazebo, among toy deer and kangaroos.
I learned how to fantastically disguise business processes so that my daughter does not think that I am working even when I am with her. It’s probably easier to say where I never work: airplanes and places where I play sports. There is no communication with the outside world on the planes, and you can safely watch a movie or read a book, and during sports I listen to podcasts or summary.
2. While kiting
Andrey Yashunsky, Prytek Managing Partner and GFS CEO
You can rarely see me at the table, more often I move freely around the office. Prytek resembles an open space with glass partitions and a large number of meeting rooms and free zones where you can take a nap. There are chess tables in the office, I like to play chess, but this is rare as I have a busy business schedule. It is sometimes useful for every person to be alone, so I often work in a cafe.
Besides chess, I prefer windsurfing and kitesurfing. The work of an entrepreneur and investor is sedentary and sometimes requires a very large nervous load. The most important thing is to be able to regularly switch the brain, remove the house out of sight, help your body. All the most beautiful decisions visited me while riding. Sport disciplines and motivates – the best qualities that an investor can develop in himself. By the way, many Western studies show that the best brain activity is felt during exercise. Windsurfing helped me to see this first hand.
3. Library
Katya Litvinova, co-founder and CMO of the platform for remote collaboration with IT specialists RuBrain
I became a co-founder of Rubrain when my son was less than a year old. All company employees work remotely, and I am no exception. At first I worked with the child in my arms, and when he grew up, and we began to go to all sorts of children’s classes, I took my laptop with me or checked my mail from my phone. I live in England, it’s customary to keep small talk even with strangers. I was the black sheep who sat in a secluded corner and worked, while most of the mothers chatted over a cup of tea while the children played or painted.
In the summer, the best place to work for me was a park with a paddling pool, where my son could spend three hours without coming near me and remaining safe. Of course, I always had to watch with one eye what he was doing in the pool, but in general this time was very productive.
When my son grew up and started going to kindergarten, I had more free time and sometimes I worked in the library, which is located not far from his garden. Wi-Fi zone, silence, books around – what else do you need to focus. In addition, you do not need to order anything and eat while sitting at the computer, like in a cafe.
4. Balcony in the apartment
Anton Shayakhov, owner of the marketing agency Outmarketing
The workplace where I work most of the day is the balcony of my apartment. I bought an apartment 2 years ago and immediately designed a balcony for an office. We have a distributed marketing agency, I’m the only one in Moscow. I tried to go to co-working spaces, I tried to sit in the office – everything did not work out. In coworking spaces, the atmosphere is often non-working, while in the office, on the contrary, it is boring. Well, I don’t want to go to work every day, I’d rather spend this time on my family.
I have a wife and two children, so the question may arise: how do I manage to work at home? I have access to the balcony through our bedroom, so I close the bedroom door and nobody touches me all day. I only go out to eat 🙂
Anton on the balcony of his apartment
I made myself a mini-loft, set up a table with shelves, bought a comfortable chair. And across the entire balcony I made a semblance of a bar counter in order to relax with a view of Moscow after a hard day. This is such a concentrated place with opportunities.
5. Dacha and nightclub
Olga Kasyan, Customer Happiness Director at SmartMotion Group of Companies
I have had a chance to work in many places during the six years I have been running my company. At first, our office was in a garage, and it was cool, because we could transform the space to our liking: repaint the walls at least every day, hang some posters, arrange props … Now there are more of us, and we have moved to a design factory Flacon, its space also favors company growth and creative development.
I also have the most pleasant and most unusual place to work. The most pleasant thing is the cottage. You lie down, sunbathe on the rug and solve some business issues. But not everyone can repeat this, because it is important for an entrepreneur to look for those spaces that charge with working energy, and not relax.
And the most unusual place is a night club. My partner and I were invited to birthday parties, and we even sat there in the corner at the table and continued to generate new ideas for our business. Or they came to the concert of the cover band MoscowStyle in the then still working Rock Vegas: there was a party around, and we sat at the bar with laptops and prepared winning concepts for tenders. It’s nice to remember, although I’m unlikely to dare to repeat it!
6. Own car
Maxim Tarsky, CEO of MegaDom
In my practice, I use several non-standard places for certain tasks. For long telephone conversations, so that no one interferes, and sometimes does not hear, I prefer my car in the parking lot. And in order not to miss any details of the call, since it is inconvenient to make records, the call recording function on the smartphone comes to the rescue.
For lengthy writing work, such as drafting changes in an organization or writing instructions that require true silence, you can drive to the nearest library, which is undeservedly forgotten as a place to work. And for operational planning for a week of affairs in the context of clients, I choose specific places from which a view of the city opens, and, looking around the buildings, I remember where the client’s office or house is located, and what business should be planned for the week.
7. Restaurant and co-working spaces
Mikhail Peregudov, CEO and founder of the Food Party
Before, when the Food Party had no office, I worked from home or from a cafe. Now I don’t really like working from a restaurant, and if necessary I prefer to work in co-working spaces. It is worth noting that many Moscow and St. Petersburg coworking spaces are much better than most offices: they are comfortable, stylish, technologically advanced, affordable, and in general there are a lot of them. We have a very stylish, modern office, but when I need to be alone, I go to work in the nearest co-working space, of which there are three around our office.
8. Cape on the coast of the Pacific Ocean
Maxim Nalsky, founder of Pyrus
Sometimes you need to take your mind off the routine and think about strategy. At such moments, if I’m in California, I take a small plane and fly away for one day away from civilization.
Maxim Nalsky
For example, I like Cape Monterey on the Pacific coast. Among the centuries-old pines, on the fresh ocean wind, it is pleasant to concentrate to the sounds of seals. Or you can fly to the mountains, all within an hour. There are 250 public airports in California (and also private ones), and you can rent a plane like a car in a car sharing – you booked it from your phone, took the keys and go (up)!
9. In the Palace
Alena Muravlyanskaya, art director to the Ivent-Agency “Questoria St. Petersburg”
Work of agency managers is not attached to the office: for it, a launcher with the dock is enough for it: to the Internet, so everyone works in a comfortable environment for them. And since we specialize in games in unusual places, we also like to engage in turnover in unusual places. For example, in a palace: in St. Petersburg there are several spaces created specifically in palaces. Marble staircases, stucco, columns, giant halls – among this you can get in a good mood for global achievements!
Another option: library workrooms. Now they are trying to attract visitors not only with books, but also with cozy co-working spaces. It is quiet and comfortable there, you can always switch, leaf through a book, relax. Well, in the summer you can work in the park: the Tauride or Mikhailovsky Gardens allow you to lay out a blanket, get a snack and work with a laptop at least all day. Unfortunately, our parks, unlike European parks, are not yet equipped with Wi-Fi and chargers, but I hope that this will change soon.

I love to work on the road. Especially in the subway – I love this mode of transport! My working morning does not start at home with a cup of tea and not in the office, but in the subway car. For me, this is the perfect place to focus and plan for the day, write important letters, think about creative tasks in the Notes app. Since it takes me about 45 minutes to get to work non-stop, I manage to do a lot of things while driving, and I don’t consider this time wasted (which I can’t say about being idle in traffic jams). Once my colleague, being in the office and discussing with me on Slack the analytics of the previous day, was sure that I was somewhere nearby, and was terribly surprised when I came and greeted everyone 🙂
I also enjoy driving on long trips. On weekdays I prefer to travel by public transport, for long distances I usually choose a car. The most effective ideas from a business point of view came to my mind during such road trips. Music, lack of annoying factors and constant speed – the best combination to find answers to questions that are sometimes not solved within the walls of the office.

a teacher from Nizhny Novgorod was arrested on suspicion of pedophilia – Teller Report in Russian8, suspected of pedophilia.
The parents of his pupils turned to the police after the children told about the harassment by the teacher. The number of people reporting harassment continues to grow: parents told RT that the children were silent for a long time, because the teacher asked to keep what was happening a secret.
Andrey Fomichev, teacher of kindergarten No. 298, was arrested in Nizhny Novgorod on charges of pedophilia. Several of his pupils confessed to their parents that Fomichev committed acts of a sexual nature against them – he touched their intimate places during a quiet hour, forced them to take off their underwear and asked them not to tell adults about what was happening.
According to the Nizhny Novgorod Department of the Investigative Committee, a criminal case has been opened against the man under paragraph “b” part 4 of Art. 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (other acts of a sexual nature committed against a person under the age of 14).
“According to the investigation, the suspect, while working as a kindergarten teacher, repeatedly committed other acts of a sexual nature against minors,” the agency said in a statement.
It is also noted that the man admitted guilt in committing the incriminated acts.
The arrest of a 36-year-old caregiver who has worked with children for the past 14 years shocked the parents of his charges. Before that, they knew Fomichev as a professional teacher and a good coach – in his free time from work in kindergarten, he played football with children at the Radiy sports school, and spent camp shifts there in the summer.
According to an interlocutor of RT in law enforcement agencies, initially information about the behavior of the teacher came from his group in kindergarten: the mother of one of the boys said that the child complained about the strange behavior of the teacher during quiet time. The woman turned to the police, and soon two more victims came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with similar statements.
Subsequently, parents who took their children to a summer football camp where a teacher worked, also learned about Fomichev’s harassment.
“Little secret”
Valentina, the mother of one of the affected children (the name was changed at the request of the heroine), told RT that in the squad of the football camp where Andrei Fomichev worked as a junior coach, the smallest children were engaged – from four to seven years. The woman learned that the coach was accused of sexual harassment from a friend who took her child to kindergarten No. 298.
“My child suffered from the actions of this teacher when he attended a summer football camp,” says Valentina. “When mutual friends told me about the situation in the kindergarten group, I had a conversation with my child.”
“At first he explained that they (with Fomichev. – RT ) had agreed that this was their “little secret”, which parents did not need to know. I asked the child to tell me what is the secret that I do not know about those days when he was in the camp. The child made a reservation that the teacher’s behavior was “a little strange. ” For this “strange” I was hooked, and in the end, my son told me about the harassment, ”the woman shared.
Valentina noted that the exact number of children affected by Fomichev’s actions remains unknown. However, according to her, hundreds of children could become victims of the teacher’s sexual harassment. Summer football camps with the participation of Fomichev were held for many years in a row, in each shift there were at least 15 children.
“This is a delicate topic, but over the years at least 500 children could have been affected,” says the RT interlocutor. “It has now become clear that he was harassed from the time when he just started working in a kindergarten.”
For example, Valentina explains, the eldest son of her friend went to Fomichev’s for football training. When it became known about the harassment, the boy admitted that he also went through it.
“The child was in the first edition of the sports camp on the Radia, and that was several years ago,” the woman says.
Enthusiastic teacher
However, not everyone believes that a teacher could pester his wards. Alexandra (name changed at the request of the heroine) met Andrei Fomichev as a kindergarten teacher, which her daughter attended. The woman insists that he has always worked as a professional, enthusiastic teacher.
“We graduated from him three years ago. I have a daughter. I am very pleased with Fomichev’s work, my daughter always went to kindergarten with pleasure. And I saw how children – including boys – stick to him, do not want to go home. If he did something illegal, the children would not treat him like that,” the woman believes.
The RT interlocutor added that she also talked with other parents, including those who took their children to Fomichev for training. According to Alexandra, none of them heard from their children about the abnormal behavior of the former coach.
“I won’t say a word against Andrey Sergeevich, because as a teacher I admire him. And without irrefutable evidence, I don’t believe that he could do something like that, ”the woman concluded.
The position of the sports school
After Fomichev was accused of sexual harassment of minors, the Radiy sports school, where the man taught football for many years, removed his name from the site. The old version of the page can still be found online.
School director Ivan Tatarintsev told REN TV that the management of the sports organization had not previously recorded any complaints about the coach – he allegedly simply rented a hall near the school, where he conducted paid classes with children, and also participated in summer sports camps.
The mother of a child affected by Fomichev’s actions, Valentina, believes that the sports school has chosen a “convenient position” and is trying to disown her teacher and the accusations against him in order to avoid a scandal.
“I, as a parent, took my child to a public school, where people who are allowed to work undergo medical checks, and methodologists work with them to check their pedagogical activity. And I have no doubt that a person who is competent cannot afford this in relation to children, ”the woman emphasizes.
Fomichev’s former colleague at work at Radia, Alexei, told RT that Andrei always gave the impression of a good teacher and coach, and when communicating with him, other school employees did not notice any oddities.
“Fomichev and I worked together at the Radiy sports school five years ago, he came there before me. They coached football teams, he coached younger kids. He gave the impression of an ordinary, absolutely adequate person who tries, works. Therefore, when I found out what he was accused of, I was, of course, in complete shock. Whether this is true or not, I don’t know, but by this person and by live communication with him, I would never say that he is capable of such a thing, ”said the interlocutor of RT.
Emergencies
Cough
Cough is perhaps the most common problem parents face. Very often, a cough, even if it sounds scary, has a harmless cause and goes away on its own. Sometimes coughing is a serious symptom. Let’s try to figure out how to behave when a child coughs and when to start sounding the alarm.
What is a cough?
Cough is a protective reflex designed to clear the airways. During a cough push, the air abruptly leaves the lungs and forces everything that interferes with breathing – sputum and foreign bodies – to come out. If you think about the mechanism of coughing, it becomes clear that it is far from always necessary to “suppress” it.
What causes and what does a cough look like?
The most common cause of cough is a viral infection. Viruses can cause damage to the respiratory tract at different levels – from the nose (with a common cold) to the bronchi, bronchioles and lungs, and coughing is a common symptom in all these diseases. For example, sore throat and nasal discharge flowing down the back of the throat irritate the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract and stimulate the cough reflex. Due to irritation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx, a dry, hacking cough occurs, which will definitely pass without treatment, but in the acute period it can be quite frequent and painful, and even disrupt night’s sleep. A runny nose and discharge along the back of the throat provoke a wet cough, while the child begins to cough when changing position of the body, especially in the morning and at night when he gets up, lies down or rolls over. If the virus infects the mucous membrane of the larynx, a false croup develops, that is, swelling and, as a result, narrowing of the lumen of the larynx, which is accompanied by a “barking” cough, hoarseness, and a characteristic noisy breath (the so-called stridor). With inflammation of the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli – bronchitis, bronchiolitis and pneumonia, respectively – sputum accumulates in the lumen of the respiratory tract, swelling of the mucous membrane occurs, resulting in cough and shortness of breath. Unlike viral bronchitis and bronchiolitis, pneumonia is more commonly caused by bacteria and is accompanied by fever in addition to coughing and shortness of breath. In bronchial asthma, bronchospasm and accumulation of thick sputum in them occur after contact with an allergen, which also provokes a cough.
When should an ambulance be called for a child with a cough?
If the child has the following signs along with coughing: it is very difficult for the child to breathe: you see that the child is breathing with difficulty, it is difficult for him to speak (or scream, if we are talking about a baby) due to difficulty in breathing, the child has “groaning” or “groaning” breathing;
the child lost consciousness and/or stopped breathing;
the child’s lips turned blue.
If the child does not have the most severe symptoms, but the child is concerned, see a doctor. An important sign of trouble is the appearance of the child – if he is lethargic, looks sick and if you cannot attract his attention and catch his eye. Shortness of breath, that is, rapid breathing, accompanied by an effort of the respiratory muscles and retraction of the intercostal spaces and the jugular fossa (depression above the sternum), is a sign that indicates damage to the lower respiratory tract. If you notice shortness of breath in a child, be sure to consult a doctor. Increased body temperature, especially fever above 39- 40 ° C, also requires that the child be examined by a doctor, as cough and fever can be symptoms of pneumonia.
Special attention should be given to children in the first months of life, because in young children, serious illnesses can be erased, and the condition may worsen suddenly. If you have a fever (that is, if the child’s rectal temperature is > 38 ° C) in children under three months old, you should definitely consult a doctor.
Should yellow or greenish sputum cause concern?
Yellow or green sputum does not always indicate a bacterial infection. With viral bronchitis and bronchiolitis, the yellow-green color of sputum is associated with the fact that cells of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, which the virus has damaged, enter the sputum. As a new mucous membrane is formed, the desquamated cells come out with sputum, so there is no need to be scared if the child coughs up yellow or even greenish sputum, since in most cases this is a normal manifestation of a viral infection that does not require antibiotics.
What should I do if my child coughs at night?
Most often, nocturnal cough is associated with the fact that when the child lies in bed, discharge from the nose and paranasal sinuses drain into the throat and cause a cough reflex. When a child rolls over in bed or gets up from a horizontal to an upright position, a coughing fit occurs. In such cases, the doctor will prescribe a topical treatment for the child to reduce the runny nose and, as a result, reduce the cough.
Night cough also occurs with pathology of the lower respiratory tract. Therefore, if your child is concerned about a nighttime cough, consult a doctor.
What if the child coughs to vomit?
If your child has a paroxysmal cough before vomiting, contact your pediatrician as this may be a symptom of whooping cough. Whooping cough is especially dangerous for children in the first months of life. Sometimes whooping cough develops even in children who were vaccinated against it, but a lot of time has passed since the last revaccination.
Some children have a very easy gag reflex, and then they may vomit when coughing, even if the cough is simply associated with a runny nose. If vomiting occurs against the background of coughing, feed the child more often, but in small portions.
Prolonged cough
It is not uncommon for a persistent cough to be caused by several successive viral infections. The child does not have time to recover from one infection and picks up another. In this case, the cough can last for several weeks and greatly frighten parents, although its cause is trivial.
However, a prolonged cough may be associated with allergies, including bronchial asthma, as well as whooping cough and other diseases of the respiratory tract and ENT organs (a chronic cough may even be due to earwax plugs in the ears!), so in case persistent cough, consult your doctor.
How to treat a cough?
Cough can have many causes, and each case is treated differently. Show the child to the doctor to understand what the cough is connected with and how to help the child.
If the cough is accompanied by sputum production (wet, productive cough), sputum production should be stimulated to facilitate expectoration. Give your child more fluids (for example, apple juice or warm chicken broth can be given if age-appropriate and not allergic to these foods). If the air in the children’s bedroom is dry, install a humidifier.
Fight nonproductive (dry) cough by reducing upper respiratory irritation. To soften the cough and soothe the airways, give the child a drink of water or apple juice, this also helps with a coughing fit. Avoid giving carbonated drinks or citrus drinks as they can irritate inflamed mucous membranes. If the child is intolerant of honey, try giving it. Children over 6 years old can suck on cough drops. If a cough interferes with sleep, going to kindergarten and school, consult a doctor, he will prescribe an antitussive.
Bath steam can help with a coughing fit. Go into the bathroom, close the door, turn on the hot shower and wait a few minutes. After the bath is filled with steam, go there with the child, sit for about 20 minutes. Try reading a book or playing with the child so that he is distracted.
Smoking is strictly prohibited at home! This contributes to frequent respiratory infections in the child and aggravates their course.
Medicines such as antibiotics and inhalations with bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory and mucolytic drugs are prescribed only by a doctor and are not required in every case.

Fever
Fever is an increase in body temperature over 38 ºС. Some symptoms and laboratory and instrumental studies help to understand the cause of the fever and prescribe the necessary treatment.
If the fever is accompanied by a runny nose, cough, and “red throat”, the most likely cause is a viral infection. Since antibiotics have no effect on viruses, antibiotic therapy in case of a viral infection is not prescribed.
High fever (greater than 39°C) with chills should alert. Other symptoms that require immediate medical attention are the refusal of the child to eat and drink, severe lethargy, lack of “eye” contact with the child.
Parents should know how to help a child with a fever .
Only ibuprofen (10 mg/kg per dose) and paracetamol (15 mg/kg per dose) are allowed for use in children. From drugs based on ibuprofen in a pharmacy, you can buy nurofen, and from drugs based on paracetamol – panadol, cefecon, efferalgan. Metamizole sodium (or analgin), including as part of a “lytic mixture”, can cause severe blood complications, and nimesulide (nimulide, nise) can cause life-threatening liver damage. If the child does not have a severe background pathology, such as heart disease or epilepsy, and if he satisfactorily tolerates fever (is interested in others, does not refuse to drink, does not complain of pain), antipyretic drugs are given at a temperature of 38.5 – 39ºС and above.
And there is no need to achieve a decrease in body temperature immediately to 36.6 ºС! A good effect is considered to be a decrease in fever to 38 ºС. Safe and effective methods of physical cooling are rubbing with water at room temperature (not alcohol or vinegar!), which allows you to reduce body temperature by 0. 5 – 1.0 ºС in a few minutes. However, if the child has chills, if he has cold hands and feet, rubbing will not be effective. In such cases, massage of the hands and feet helps, which reduces vasospasm and improves peripheral circulation, and antispasmodic drugs, such as no-shpa, are also used.

False croup
False croup occurs quite often in babies, so mothers need to know about it. Only parents can notice the first signs of narrowing of the larynx in time and help the child in time. The reason is viral infections. In children under 5 – 6 years of age, the airways are narrower than in adults, and therefore croup develops much more often.
If a baby with a cold has a “barking” cough and a hoarse voice, it is necessary that he breathe steam over hot water in the bathroom. If this does not help, and the breath becomes noisy and difficult, call an ambulance without stopping the inhalation of steam.
What is false croup?
Croup is difficulty in breathing due to constriction of the larynx. To feel where the larynx is, you can put your hand on the front of the neck and make any sound – the larynx will vibrate.
This part of the airway is quite narrow, and if the mucous membrane swells, it can completely block the lumen of the larynx, and air will not enter the lungs. In children under 5 – 6 years of age, the airways are narrower than in adults, and therefore croup develops much more often.
Unlike false, true croup begins with diphtheria, when the lumen of the larynx is blocked by dense films. Thanks to vaccinations (DPT, ADS-M), this disease, fortunately, has become rare.
The cause of false croup is acute viral infections (for example, parainfluenza virus or respiratory syncytial virus). The mucous membrane becomes inflamed, swells, and although films do not form, as in diphtheria, the result is the same – it is difficult for the child to breathe.
How does it all start?
Usually, the usual symptoms of acute respiratory infections appear first, i. e. runny nose, cough, fever. The first signs of the proximity of a false croup appear or intensify in the evening – this is a growing dry “barking” cough and a hoarse voice.
Then the breath becomes “noisy” – at first only during crying or anxiety, that is, when the baby breathes deeper and faster. After a while, these symptoms persist even in a calm state.
With croup, it is difficult for a baby to inhale exactly, that is, the inhalation turns out to be noisy, with effort, and the exhalation remains normal. During inhalation, you can notice how the jugular fossa (depression in the lower part of the neck between the collarbones) is drawn inward.
Is it possible to prevent false croup?
There are pathogens that most often cause croup: parainfluenza virus, influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus. If a child has contracted this particular infection, the risk of developing croup is high, and, unfortunately, there are no remedies that protect against it.
There are children who tolerate colds without this complication, but in some the mucous membrane is more prone to edema, and if one episode of difficulty breathing with acute respiratory infections has already been, it is likely that such conditions will recur. Parents need to be ready for them – until the child grows up, and the croup ceases to threaten him.
What to do with false croup?
If you notice its signs, first of all, you need to calm yourself and the child, because when you are excited, the muscles of the larynx contract, and it becomes even harder to breathe.
For a “barking” cough, as long as breathing is quiet and not labored, steam inhalation may help. Turn on hot water in the bathroom, let the child breathe in moist air for a few minutes.
If this does not help and breathing becomes difficult (noisy breath, jugular fossa retraction), call an ambulance and continue to do steam inhalation until it arrives. The doctor will prescribe special inhalations with a local hormonal preparation for croup. Don’t let the word “hormonal” scare you, because this drug works only in the respiratory tract, eliminating inflammation, and no other medicine for false croup will not be so effective. In severe cases, the doctor will inject a hormone (prednisolone or dexamethasone) intramuscularly. Don’t worry about side effects because short cycles of hormones are safe and life-saving in these situations.
If you are offered to hospitalize your child, do not refuse, because after temporary relief, breathing problems may recur.
There are conditions that can be confused with false croup, such as inflammation of the epiglottis (the cartilage that closes the larynx when swallowing). This disease is called epiglottitis: the child’s temperature rises above 39 degrees, there is a severe sore throat, the mouth is difficult to open, and hormonal preparations do not help the child.
If the epiglottis is inflamed, the child is admitted to the hospital and treated with antibiotics. But this disease is rare, and false croup is caused by viruses, so it makes no sense to take antibiotics.
Is it possible to stop an attack of croup on your own?
If it is not the first time a child has false croup, you can take home a special device for inhalation – a nebulizer (choose a compressor model, since ultrasound can destroy drugs used for croup). Your doctor will tell you what medication to have at home and how much to use if needed.
The child can return to kindergarten as soon as the body temperature returns to normal and the child feels well.

Vomiting and diarrhea
Acute gastroenteritis is characterized by an increase in body temperature (from subfebrile condition to high fever), vomiting, stool thinning. Rotavirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis. The most severe is the first episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children from 6 months to 2-3 years. The peak incidence of this infection occurs in the winter – spring.
The danger of viral gastroenteritis is associated with rapid dehydration and electrolyte disturbances due to the loss of water and salts with loose stools and vomiting. Therefore, feeding the child is of fundamental importance. In order not to provoke vomiting, you need to drink fractionally (1 – 2 teaspoons), but often, if necessary, every few minutes. For convenience, you can use a syringe without a needle or a pipette. In no case should you drink the child with just water, this only exacerbates electrolyte disturbances! There are special saline solutions for drinking – rehydron (optimally ½ sachet per 1 liter of water), Humana electrolyte, etc.
The daily requirement for fluid is presented in the table:
The child’s daily need for a liquid 2 – 10 kg 100 ml/kg 10 – 20 kg + 50 ml/kg per kg over 10 kg > 20 kg 1500 ml + 20 ml/kg for each kg over 20 kg.
Intravenous rehydration (fluid replenishment with drips) is done only for severe dehydration and persistent vomiting. In all other cases, you need to drink the child – it is safe, effective and painless.
Smecta (but do not give smecta if it induces vomiting), espumizan or Sab simplex are used as adjuvants. Enterofuril is not recommended for use, as it is not effective either in viral infections or in invasive bacterial intestinal infections. In the diet during the acute period, fresh vegetables and fruits (except bananas), sweet drinks are excluded, and whole milk is limited only in older children.
Parents need to know the first signs of dehydration – a decrease in the frequency and volume of urination, thirst, dry skin and mucous membranes. With increasing dehydration, the child becomes lethargic, stops urinating, thirst disappears, the skin loses turgor, and the eyes “sink”. In this case, there is no time to waste, it is necessary to call a doctor and hospitalize the child.
The appearance of blood and mucus in the stool in a child should be alerted, because this is typical for bacterial enterocolitis. Stool with such infections is not large (in contrast to copious watery stools with rotavirus infection), false urge to defecate and abdominal pain may be noted. Drinking water in such cases may not be enough, and, as a rule, antibiotics are required.

Pneumonia
One of the serious diseases in children is pneumonia, or pneumonia. Pneumonia can pose a threat to a child’s life. Fortunately, modern medicine has learned to cope well with pneumonia, and this disease can be completely cured in most cases. Therefore, if your baby gets sick with fever and cough, contact your pediatrician. If pneumonia is suspected, a doctor may order an x-ray of the lungs to confirm the diagnosis.
What is pneumonia?
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung tissue, that is, the deepest part of the respiratory system. Normally, gas exchange occurs in the lungs, that is, oxygen from the air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the environment. When part of the lung is inflamed, the breathing function in the affected lung is affected and the child develops shortness of breath, that is, rapid and labored breathing. Substances produced during the immune system’s fight against bacteria cause fever (if the body temperature rises above 38 ° C, this is called a fever). The accumulation of sputum in the alveoli and bronchi and swelling of the mucous membrane stimulate the cough reflex, and a cough occurs. If the focus of pneumonia is near the lining of the lung, called the pleura, chest pains may occur when breathing and coughing.
What causes pneumonia?
There are many infections that can cause pneumonia. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of so-called “typical” pneumonia. Pneumococcal pneumonia is accompanied by fever, cough, shortness of breath, lethargy, and decreased appetite. Less commonly, pneumonia is caused by other pathogens – Haemophilus influenzae type b, pyogenic streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus). “Atypical” pneumonia, which is usually milder and quite contagious, is caused by mycoplasmas and chlamydia. Less commonly, pneumonia is caused by viruses (adenovirus, RS virus) – such pneumonias are rare and can be very difficult. Pneumonia can develop suddenly or be a complication of the flu.
What are the symptoms of pneumonia?
The most important symptom of pneumonia is fever. In a young child, fever may be the only manifestation. Fever above 39.5°C with chills and fever that is poorly reduced after taking antipyretic drugs should be especially alert. Although not always a high fever that does not respond well to antipyretics is a symptom of pneumonia. This may be a manifestation of a respiratory viral infection.
The second important symptom of pneumonia is a cough. The nature of the cough matters. Particularly alarming are the “deep” cough, cough at night and cough before vomiting.
Severe pneumonia is usually accompanied by shortness of breath, that is, rapid and labored breathing. Sometimes a symptom of pneumonia is pain in the abdomen, which occurs due to irritation of the pleura (lung membrane) during inflammation of the lung area adjacent to the pleura and due to frequent coughing and, accordingly, tension in the abdominal muscles.
Very important signs that speak in favor of pneumonia are symptoms of intoxication, such as fatigue, weakness, refusal to eat and even drink. At the same time, unlike pneumococcal pneumonia, with mycoplasmal pneumonia, the child may feel well. Coughing and wheezing in the lungs are symptoms not only of pneumonia, but also of bronchitis. It is very important that the doctor distinguishes pneumonia from bronchitis, since antibiotics are not always required for bronchitis and only if its mycoplasmal etiology is suspected.
What can happen if pneumonia is not treated?
This is fraught with complications that are more likely to occur if pneumonia is left untreated. Complications of pneumonia are inflammation of the pleura (pleurisy) and the formation of a cavity in the lung filled with pus (lung abscess). In such cases, a longer course of antibiotics will be required, and sometimes the help of a surgeon.
How to treat pneumonia?
If you have bacterial pneumonia, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic. The doctor will decide which antibiotic to choose depending on the suspected cause of the pneumonia. In most cases, the child can be given the antibiotic by mouth (as a suspension or tablets) rather than by injection. The effect of the antibiotic occurs within 24-48 hours. If after 1 – 2 days the child does not feel better and the temperature rises, consult a doctor again.
Usually a child with pneumonia can be treated at home. Hospitalization is required for severe and complicated pneumonia, when the child needs intravenous antibiotics, supplemental oxygen, pleural punctures, and other serious medical interventions. Give the child an antipyretic (ibuprofen or paracetamol) if the body temperature rises above 38.5-39°C. Antitussives, such as butamirate (Sinekod drug), are contraindicated in pneumonia.
Can pneumonia be prevented?
There are vaccines designed to protect against pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae, which cause the most severe forms of pneumonia (against pneumococcus – vaccines “Prevenar”, “Pneumo 23”, against Haemophilus influenzae – “Act-HIB”, “Hiberix”, a component against Haemophilus influenzae sticks are part of the Pentaxim vaccine, components against pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae are simultaneously part of Synflorix). Since pneumococcal pneumonia often develops as a complication of influenza, influenza vaccination is helpful.

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.)
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!
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!
“
I can’t imagine trusting anyone (or anywhere) else with my child. The minute we walk into the building and my daughter sees her teacher(s) she lights up and can’t wait to get a morning snuggle (which is always instantaneous). All of the staff (truly, ALL) love the kids as if they were their own, and there is no greater feeling as a parent. I know she is safe, she is loved, and well cared for the entire day. One of the many unique things about KB – they allow and encourage the infants to explore and play (there are no swings or bouncers). The staff is truly hands on with the kids, all day. Lastly, I really appreciate that we are greeted the minute we walk in the doors. The managers and directors know all the kids by name, and take the time to get to know the children individually. It’s pretty great!
”
Leslie – KinderCare Parent
“
My toddler has been at Knowledge Beginnings for one year, and I have always felt like he is extremely well cared for at KB. All of the teachers as well as Jon and the other office employees are very involved with each child individually and can tell you about their day the moment you walk in the door to pick them up (good/crabby/napped well/activities/new skills/etc. ).
The teachers are also great listeners and advice-givers. They will follow special instructions you have for your children, as well as answer questions or give you advice if you’re asking for it. As a new parent, I found this really helpful because they can recommend ways to get thru challenges, start something new, etc.
I also really like the curriculum-based approach they take to childcare. While they ensure the kids learn thru playtime and interaction with others, they also incorporate different educational themes each month. I love seeing all of the things my son learns and hearing about all of the creative activities he does.
Most importantly, my son comes home happy and smiling, and is excited to go back the next day. So I know he’s having fun, learning, and feels cared for. I would recommend KB without hesitation!
”
Ali – KinderCare Parent
“
We absolutely love having our children attend Knowledge Beginnings in Eagan! The teachers and staff are fabulous. I leave my two children in the hands of dedicated, loving, and nurturing teachers each day. My girls are always excited to go each day. The facility is safe, secure, and clean and they have a great curriculum they use to focus on those early learning skills and standards. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this center.

9000 don’t even want to talk about it?
Diana rolled away from me and froze in the fetal position:
— We discussed this two weeks ago. Nothing has changed since then, so what’s the point of talking again?
We spent the evening with my friend, his wife and their six month old daughter. Now I could not close my eyes without again seeing the expression of delight and amazement on that pretty baby face, without hearing the sound of her innocent laughter, without experiencing again that strange dizziness that I felt when Rosalie, her mother, said:
— Of course you can hold her.
I hoped that this visit would change Diana’s mood. Instead, he multiplied a thousandfold my desire to become a father, turning into almost physical pain, and left her indifferent.
Okay, so we’re biologically programmed to love children. So what? This can be said about ninety percent of human activity. We are biologically programmed to enjoy the sexual act, but no one seems to mind, no one complains about being tricked by evil nature into doing something they would never have done otherwise. After all, if one were to lay out in detail, step by step, the physiological basis of the enjoyment of listening to Bach, wouldn’t that enjoyment appear to be a primitive reaction, a biological fraud, an experience as empty as coming from a euphoric drug?
— Don’t you feel anything when she smiles?
— Frank, shut up and let me sleep.
— If we had a daughter, I would take care of her. I would take six months off to look after her.
– Wow, half a year, very generous! And then what?
– Then more. I can quit my job altogether if you want.
– And what to live on? I won’t support you for the rest of my life! Yes, to hell! You still then, I suppose, and want to get married, huh?
– Well, I won’t stop working. When she is old enough, we can send her to kindergarten. Why are you so opposed? Millions of people have children, this is a common thing, why do you invent all these obstacles?
– Because I don’t want a child. Understand? That’s all.
I looked at the dark ceiling for a bit before saying in a not quite even voice:
“You know, I could bear it myself. Nowadays, it is absolutely safe, there are examples of thousands of successfully completed male pregnancies. After a couple of weeks, the placenta and embryo can be taken from you and attached to the outer wall of my intestines.
– You are sick.
– If necessary, they even make it so that both fertilization and early development take place in a test tube. Then all you have to do is become an egg donor.
– I don’t want a baby. Born by you, worn by me, adopted, bought, stolen, whatever. Shut up and let me sleep.
* * *
When I came home the next evening, the apartment was dark, quiet and empty. Diana has moved out; the note said that she had gone to live with her sister. This happened, of course, not only because of the children; Lately, I’ve actually started to annoy her.
I sat in the kitchen drinking, wondering if there was any way to convince her to come back. I knew I was being selfish: without constant, conscious effort, I tended to ignore other people’s feelings. And I never seemed to be able to sustain this effort long enough. But I tried, didn’t I? What more could she expect?
When I got really drunk, I called her sister, who didn’t even invite her. I hung up the phone and looked around for something to break, but then all my energy ran out and I lay down on the floor right there. I tried to cry but it didn’t work, so I fell asleep instead.
* * *
The essence of biological stimuli is that we can easily deceive them, we have learned to satisfy our bodies by eliminating the evolutionary causes of actions that give us pleasure. Non-nutritious food can look great and taste great. Sex that doesn’t result in pregnancy can still be just as good. I think in the past, an animal was the only possible substitute for a child. Buy a cat – that’s what I had to do.
* * *
Two weeks after Diana left me, I bought a set of “Cutie” through an electronic payment system from Taiwan. Well, when I say “Taiwan”, I mean that the first three digits of the payment system code mean Taiwan. Sometimes, it means something geographically real, but usually it doesn’t. Most of these small companies have no premises, they are just megabytes of data that are manipulated by the software of the international trading network. The customer contacts their local hub, selects a company and product code, and if a bank or credit balance is confirmed, orders are placed with various component manufacturers, transport offices, and assembly firms. The company itself does not move anything, only data.
Special mention: I bought a cheap copy. Pirate, clone, analogue, counterfeit version, call it whatever you like. Of course, I felt a little guilty, and a little greedy, but who can afford to pay five times as much for an authentic, made in Salvador, American product? Yes, it’s a steal from the people who spent time and money researching and developing this product, but what are they waiting for when they hit that price? Why should I pay for the cocaine preferences of a bunch of California speculators who made a lucky bet on some biotech corporation ten years ago? I’d rather my money go to some fifteen year old hacker from Taiwan or Hong Kong or Manila who does this so his siblings don’t have to fuck rich tourists to survive.
Do you see what wonderful aspirations I had?
“Cute” has a respectable pedigree. Remember the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls?[1] Birth certificate included, birth defects optional. The trouble was that these things just were, and realistic robotics for a doll is simply too expensive to be practical. Remember the Baby video? Computer cribs? Perfect realism, so long as you don’t want to open the glass and caress the baby.
Of course I didn’t want “Cute”! I wanted a real baby! But how? I was thirty-four years old, recently another relationship ended unsuccessfully. What choice did I have?
I could renew my search for a woman who (a) wants to have children, (b) doesn’t have any yet, and (c) is able to endure living with shit like me for more than a couple of years.
I could try to ignore or suppress my unreasonable desire to be a father. Intellectually (in every sense) I had no need for a child; in fact, I could easily come up with half a dozen impeccable arguments against accepting such a burden. But it was as if the force (shamelessly humanized) that had previously directed me to have unrestrained sex finally found out about birth control, and so cleverly decided to shift my attention one link further down the messed up causal chain. Like a teenager constantly dreaming about sex, so I constantly dreamed about fatherhood.
Or.
Oh yes! Praise to modern technology! Nothing compares to the third possibility – to create the illusion of freedom of choice!
– Well, I did what you wanted. But everything I said before still applies. Let me live and I will make you rich. Million a year. At least.
He shakes his head.
– You are fantasizing. Where should I go? Finn will find me in a week.
– You won’t have to go anywhere. I would leave the country – and I would transfer money to your orbital account.
Yes? Even if you do this, what use is this money to me? I couldn’t risk wasting them.
– Once you have enough, you could buy some protection. Buy some independence. Get rid of Finn.
— No.
He laughs again.
— Why are you still looking for a way out? Do not you understand? There is no need for this.
The implant must be releasing nanomachines now, strengthening the links between my brain and the tiny optical processor whose neural network embodies Carter’s bizarre beliefs. Once – and his insanity will fit into my brain. But it doesn’t matter – I can always delete it: it’s the easiest thing in the world. If this is still what I want .
I say:
– Nothing is needed. You don’t need to kill me. We can still both get out of here. Why are you acting like you don’t have a choice?
He shakes his head.
– You are delirious.
– Fuck you! Listen to me! All Finn has is money. I can destroy him if that’s what it takes. From anywhere in the world! “I don’t even know if I’ve lied more in my life. Can I do it? To save your life?
Carter finally speaks softly:
— No.
I don’t know what to say. I have no more arguments, no more arguments. I wanted to turn around and run away, but I can’t. I can’t believe I would run away – and I can’t get him to pull the trigger a moment sooner.
The sunlight is dazzling, I close my eyes from the bright light. I haven’t given up yet. I’ll pretend the implant didn’t work – that’ll embarrass him and buy me a few more minutes.
And then?
A wave of dizziness overwhelms me. I stagger, but I can hardly keep my balance. I stand looking at my shadow on the ground, swaying gently, feeling incredibly light.
Then I look up, squinting.
— I…
Carter says
– You will die. I’m going to shoot you in the head. You understand me?
– Yes.
— But this is not the end for you. Not the end is very important. You believe it, don’t you?
I nod reluctantly.
– Yes.
— You know that you will die, but you are not afraid?
The light hurts my eyes and I close them again. I laugh wearily.
— You are mistaken, I am still afraid. You lied to me, right? You are shit. But I understand. Everything you said makes sense.
And he does it . All my objections seem absurd, completely ill-conceived. It resents me that Carter was right—but I can’t pretend that my unwillingness to believe him was the product of anything but shortsightedness and self-deception. That it took a neural implant to let me see the obvious. And this only confirms how discouraged I must have been.
I stand with my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the sun on the back of my head. I’m waiting.
— You don’t want to die… but you know that’s the only way out? Do you accept it? He seems to refuse to believe me, as if he found my instant transformation too good to be true.
I shout to him:
— Fuck you!.. Come on! Let’s end this!
He is silent for a while. Then a soft thud, and the sound of a fall.
For some reason, insects no longer land on my hands and face.
After a moment, I open my eyes and drop to my knees, shivering. For a while, I lose control of myself: I sob, hit the ground with my fists, tear handfuls of grass, yell at the birds for their silence.
Then I get up and go to the corpse.
He believed in everything, he claimed, but he still needed something else. More than an abstract hope that someday, somewhere on the planet, a 9 will fall0106 become him – by pure chance. He needs someone holding the same beliefs right before his eyes at the moment of death—someone else who knew he was about to die, someone who was just as afraid as he was.
And what should I believe?
I look up at the sky, and the memories I’m struggling with, previously missing, begin to tumble in my skull. From lazy childhood holidays to the very last weekend I spent with my ex-wife and son, the same heartbreaking blue runs through them all. Unites them all.
Isn’t it?
I look down at Carter, kick him, and whisper:
— Who died today? Tell me. Who really died ?

CUTE
Story
Greg Egan. The Cutie, 1989.
Some people have a biological need for children. But in the world of the near future, it is becoming increasingly difficult to start a family and own relatives or even adopted children. It was for such people that “Cuties” were invented – creatures artificially created from the DNA of their parent, very similar to human children, but programmed for early death and lack of intellectual development. The protagonist also decided to get Cutie, but things didn’t go quite as expected…
— Why don’t you even want to talk about it?
Diana rolled away from me and froze in the fetal position:
— We discussed this two weeks ago. Nothing has changed since then, so what’s the point of talking again?

“Clean language” and dirty technology in Egan’s novel essay example
iMac is an element of modern childhood, completely alien to the parents raising these children. In the “Clean Language” chapter from “A Visit to the Goon Squad”, Jennifer Egan’s character Alex, the new father, believes that he is responsible for protecting his child from digital devices, implying that children are at risk when they are exposed to the Internet and social media. However, Alex’s career choices and interactions with others show that adults are equally at risk when using social media and digital communications, if not more than the children they are theoretically trying to protect, leading us to wonder if they are at risk. children of danger. on these forms of technology in the first place.
Egan uses the nature of fictional stories to create a kindred character who connects with parents responsible for and empathetic to modernized, tech-savvy children to support his argument that digital communication and social media are not just a danger to children, but to all generations . Egan uses Alex’s internal monologue to show that parents have their children’s fear of the Internet and modern digital devices, but also argues that these technologies are inevitable in childhood today. In the depiction of Egan in a slightly futuristic New York City, it is customary for children to have “baby tubes” (Egan, 313), a form of smartphone designed specifically for children; however, Alex agrees with his wife that their own daughter “will not [have a baby pipe] until she is five” (Egan, 313). Alex and his wife are clearly supportive of the “childhood in danger” discussion. According to Craft, the “childhood in danger” argument “emphasizes its inherent vulnerability in childhood” as well as adults’ responsibility for children by “exploiting parental fears… [and] postponing the traditional stages of adulthood” (Craft, 176). Alex actively restricts his child’s access to digital gadgets, proving that he believes he is protecting his child by restricting her use of these “baby tubes”. Obviously, Alex believes that both of his children are vulnerable and that technology is threatening. Feeling the need to protect his child from phones, Alex demonstrates his belief that he – and, in turn, parents in general – are responsible for maintaining the notion of childhood that his generation has experienced – one without digital entertainment and communication.
Egan’s choice of age “five” as the end of Alex and his wife’s technology ban also demonstrates the temporality of this ban and parental control in the face of digitization in general. After the age of five, limiting the use of digital devices is no longer plausible, indicating that childhood is already too digital, despite the desire of parents to prevent these personal devices from taking over their children’s lives. At the age of five, children usually move into the traditional school system, starting in kindergarten. At this age, parental control is significantly minimized due to the child’s constant contact with other children, other adults and the use of computers at school. Through the choice of age five, Egan argues that in our digital age, there is little that an adult can do to keep children away from the digital world, which in this day may be considered “the milestone of adulthood” (Craft, 176), or in our time, childhood. Although Alex tries to delay his child’s transition into both a new era of childhood and a new stage of life, similar to what is suggested to adults in terms of a “childhood in danger” (Craft, 176), there is so much he can do to keep his child away from electronics and the internet, proving that Egan believes these technologies are central to today’s concept of childhood. When Alex’s pipe vibrates, his daughter points to his pocket and exclaims, “Das mine!” causing Alex to ask if it was “perhaps his daughter could feel vibrations through his body” (Egan, 321). Alex’s panicky reaction, while slightly absurd, demonstrates the fear he and other parents have of smartphones towards children. His concern that his child is able to feel another person’s handset is never rebutted, citing parental concern that children are already too much connected to digital devices. The italics on “mine” also show that his daughter is taking responsibility for the device, implying that these phones are an integral part of the child’s identity, possessions, and childhood itself.
Through Alex’s interactions with his daughter, Egan creates a moment that parents can sympathize with, while at the same time asserting that the transition to digital communication devices has already occurred in childhood. Through the structure of society in Egan’s “pure language”, such as the role of children in the marketplace, Egan exposes the generation gap between youth and adults and affirms the power that children receive from digital devices. In Egan’s world, children are known as “pointers” because “any child who [can] point [is] able to download music” makes them “arbiters of musical success” (Egan, 313). Without mobile phones, a child’s ability to point to anything will not be affected; however, when combined with Internet-enabled devices, the child gains enormous purchasing power. So, from a simple point of view, children can have a strong impact not only on the music industry, but on any market that uses online sales. This state of Egan’s society supports the “childhood empowerment” debate, which emphasizes the “market orientation of childhood” and the “broader sense of personal engagement” that children feel as a result of the application of technology (Craft, 177). Egan chooses the music industry as an example of his children’s increased consumerism due to his emotional associations, as it is an industry that people are often strongly attached to due to its nostalgia and artistic value. Thus, if children are the “arbiters of musical success” or the new authorities in the arts, readers may feel a new level of disgust at the “market development of childhood” not because of the damage it can do to children themselves, but because of society as a whole.
Although Alex expresses his fear that his daughter will lose both the good values and childhood innocence due to the Internet and mobile phones, he dismisses the influence of online networks on his character, supporting Egan’s argument that adults have an even more negative impact on online world than their supposedly vulnerable children. Upon entering the music industry, Alex gets a job recruiting “parrots”, people with online personas who are tasked with creating buzz on their social media around various topics or events. (Egan, 315). To select the ideal parrots, Alex must rate each candidate using three measures on a scale of 1 to 10: “how much they need [] money (“need”), how connected and respected they are [“reach””), and how much they can be willing to sell this influence (“Corruption”)” (Egan, 315). Egan uses Alex’s career as a prime example of how adults and their morals are also under threat from the internet and social media, not just kids. Alex’s career requires him to dehumanize his online friends by comparing them to animals—parrots in particular, often considered a nuisance—and quantifying them in this simplified way, discounting them to three single digits to assess their worth. to him. Thus, through his digital career, he becomes corrupt. Thanks to Alex’s work, Egan argues that social media and smartphones also pose a danger to adults.
While some may argue that Jennifer Egan’s literature does not authorize her to participate in academic debates about the impact of technology on children, it is mainly Egan’s use of the story that allows her to make such a unique contribution to the discussion. digital childhood. In most academic writing, it is frowned upon to use emotional appeals as an argument, but in prose, emotion is an essential asset, especially for Egan. Through prose, Egan creates Alex, the perfect character who speaks to adults (especially parents) and convinces them with his argument that online communication is not only damaging to children, but also to adults like Alex and readers. Alex himself dismisses technology, saying that “every byte of information he posted on the Internet (favorite color, vegetable, sexual position) was kept… that it belonged… selling himself unthinkable” (Egan, 316). While any academic newspaper could say that the Internet is taking advantage of people’s willingness to give up information without knowing the consequences, only Egan’s prose can do it in such an engaging way that creates an emotional connection with readers who have also comically commented on the silliness of the information. as their favorite vegetable online. The self-deprecation in the line where Alex regrets his “belonging” also helps to make Alex more attractive and reinforces Egan’s point that everyone is at risk online, even adults especially. Without prose, Egan would have made the same argument as everyone else in the academic debates surrounding childhood instead of offering an unprecedented perspective that included humor and sentiment.
In Clean Language, Egan creates a world in which the Internet and electronic devices are threatening forces, arguing that these technologies are also destructive in our own society. However, not only children are at risk from these devices. In fact, as children grow and learn along with these forms of technology, rather than being forced into their lives as alien forces do, as adults did, children are instead liberated through the internet and smartphones, fully knowing their abilities as good. as well as bad ones. Children have grown up using the Internet and its methods of communication and know better than to share their personal information online, unlike adults like Alex. However, because they grew up in a digital world and don’t know anything else, protecting children from the Internet is incredibly difficult, especially since they don’t see it as a threatening entity. In fact, adults are the ones who are more vulnerable to devices with Internet access because they are afraid of them and do not fully understand the enormous possibilities of the Internet. Egan argues that Internet electronics are a force to be reckoned with by adults; after all, they are the ones who offer their favorite poses on the internet.

Description
The life of Burmin, the “little man”, crushed by poverty and hopelessness, is incredibly difficult and hopeless. The only bright ray in his life is his daughter Sashenka. But she becomes seriously ill and her father, a timid, obsequious creature, has to overcome himself, the indifference of society and the sluggishness of the bureaucratic machine in order to save her. And even great grief does not harden his heart – he remembers not only about his child, but also about other children whom he was able to help.

Richard and Leisha did everything according to the instructions in the basement of their house. Nothing happened. The letter was opened:
“Dear Miss Camden!
I am very sorry that I have to quit, but the union is forcing me. If I were you, I would try to find another bodyguard on the side. Be careful. Sorry again, but I also have to live.
Bruce.”
“Laughter through tears,” Leisha said. – You and I got all this equipment, fiddled for several hours so that the explosive device did not work …
“You must admit that I didn’t sacrifice anything significant,” Richard remarked sadly.
Since the Sleepless fell out of favor, all but two of his consulting firm’s clients have closed their accounts. No wonder – they depended on the market, and therefore, on public opinion.
Leisha’s computer, set to the special network, howled an emergency signal. It was Tony Indivino.
– Leisha, I need your help as a lawyer. They’re trying to get me into a fight over the Vault. Please take off.
The shelter was surrounded by a series of freshly dug trenches. It was located in southern New York State, in the Alleghans, in the old, time-smoothed mountains, overgrown with pines and shrubs. An excellent road led from the nearest town, Conevango. The low buildings, designed with graceful simplicity, were in various stages of completion. Jennifer Sharafi met Leisha with Richard without a smile. She hadn’t changed much in six years, except that her long black hair was uncombed and her tar eyes looked huge with effort.
– Tony asked me to show you the place first.
– What happened? Leisha asked quietly.
– Later. Let’s look at the Vault first. Tony values your opinion very much, Leisha.
Each building was designed for fifty people. These communes had huge communal kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, and lounges, with a labyrinth of offices, studios, and laboratories.
“We still call them ‘bedrooms’ despite the ambiguity of the word,” Jennifer said. Even in that remark, which would have sounded playful on the lips of anyone else, Leisha caught a strange combination of Jennifer’s usual deliberate calmness and today’s tension.
Leisha was amazed at how detailed Tony thought out this life, collective and purely individual at the same time. The Vault had a gymnasium and a small hospital. By the end of next year, qualified personnel were planned, as well as a kindergarten, a school and a farm with intensive agriculture.
– Most of the products will come from outside, of course. Jobs will also be outside the Vault. We are only creating a safe place from which to do business with the community.
Leisha was silent.
In addition to the power supply – a self-sustaining source of I-energy – she was struck by the attitude towards human resources. Tony managed to interest the Sleepless representatives of almost all professions in the project.
“Lawyers and accountants first and foremost,” Jennifer said. “This is our front line of defense. Tony believes that power battles these days are taking place in the courts and at meetings of various councils.
Finally, Jennifer showed them the plans for the fortifications. She seemed to have just relaxed a little.
The defense system was focused on stopping attackers without harming them. Electronic surveillance covered 150 square miles of territory purchased by Jennifer. More of another county, Leisha thought. At a distance of half a mile from the gate, a force field was activated, delivering electric shocks. Penetration into the territory of remotely controlled machines or robots was tracked by a system programmed for any moving metal object of a certain mass. A device not equipped with a special signal designed by Donald Pospula, Sleepless, was taken under suspicion.
“Of course we’re not ready to fight off an air attack or an army attack,” Jennifer said. But we don’t expect it. We are threatened only by madmen blind with hatred.
Leisha was worried about the defense plan.
– If we can’t integrate into this world… Free trade means freedom of movement.
“That suggests a free mind,” Jennifer said quickly, and something in her voice made Leisha look at the girl. “I need to tell you something, Leisha. Tony isn’t here.
– Where is he?
– In Conevango, in the county jail. We are fighting a real battle for the land – it’s in such a wilderness! But it’s different. Tony was accused of kidnapping Timmy Demarzo this morning.
The walls of the room shook.
– FBI?
– Yes.
– How… how did they know?
– Some agent finally unraveled this case. Tony needs a lawyer, Leisha. Bill Thein has already agreed, but Tony wants you to handle the case.
– Jennifer, I only take my exams at the end of July!
– He will wait. While Bill will act as his lawyer. Will you pass the exam?
– Of course. But I had already agreed to work at Morehouse, Kennedy and Anderson in New York…” She trailed off. Richard stared at her, Jennifer’s face unreadable. Leisha said softly:
– What kind of protection is he going to keep?
“Guilty,” answered Jennifer, “when… what do lawyers call it?” extenuating circumstances.
Leisha was afraid that Tony would decide to fight back; lies, evasions – a dangerous line of behavior. She mentally ran through different types of extenuating circumstances, recalling precedents… Clements v. Voy could be used…
“Bill is on his way to jail now,” Jennifer said. – Will you go there with me? There was a challenge in her voice.
“Yes,” Leisha replied.
They were not allowed to see Tony. The man from the DA’s office explained that only his lawyer could visit Tony. During the conversation, the clerk’s face remained motionless, but when the girls went to the doors, he, not sparing the floor of his office, spat relish at their feet.
Richard and Leisha were returning to the airport in a rented car. Richard decided to move immediately to help with the construction.

Tiger’s Den Summer Camp
LSU University Recreations Tiger’s Den guiding principles are Fun, Enthusiasm, Compassion, Discovery, Humility, Leadership, and Community. These principles serve as the foundation for our activities, which are designed to impact and encourage social growth in our campers, in areas such as teamwork, community living, healthy sportsmanship, and positive competition. We combine creativity and cooperation with individual challenges, which impact critical thinking skills and encourage a greater sense of confidence and self-esteem. Personal and physical growth also tends to occur naturally and their individual gains such as honesty, trust, communication, and friendships are some of the dividends. We see camp as the special opportunity for a child to experience the fun and excitement to be found on campus, in an environment that removes the academic and social pressures that are a part of our children’s lives. Our plan is that this experience satisfies that need with happy, relaxed, but well-structured programs.
Our goal is that all who attend Tiger’s Den receive a supremely unique experience, one that is treasured and cannot be found elsewhere. LSU UREC Tiger’s Den is a recreational experience that provides fun and comprehensive camp programming for children ages 6 to 12, where each session is filled with sports activities, structured games, sports skill instruction, and interactive educational activities, all incorporating Tiger’s Den Values.
We offer 10 different, 1-week sessions, to ensure your children are learning, playing and having a blast all summer long. Registration is NOW OPEN for the Baton Rouge Community. Lunch, snacks and a free t-shirt are all included in the registration cost.

Make a film, learn from professors, master dog tracking and body practices – what summer programs and camps offer schoolchildren
Today there are summer field programs for schoolchildren for every taste. You can choose not only the region, type of activities or accommodation conditions. Many summer camps with good reviews and high ratings on specialized sites formulate clear goals for a vacation trip: a digital detox in a nature reserve, preparation for a subject Olympiad, development of a startup. We have selected eight interesting programs for the summer.

Age: 8+
Website: https://vershitel20
Well-maintained campsite 300 m from the sea. Each shift has its own educational topic: natural sciences, history, photography. But no less important task is to understand yourself, learn to understand your emotions and express them in an acceptable way, to define your own and others’ boundaries. Children can take the initiative, the main thing is to agree with the instructors. There are few bans, everything is related to safety. Instructors know how to work with conflicts, with fears, sadness.

They are grouped by age and level of English, but not into units or classes, but into orders, each of which has its own coat of arms (its children create it themselves). Everyone also comes up with a nickname for themselves, under which they are known in the kingdom: they study, participate in quests, evening shows, sports and role-playing games. At the final ceremony, the queen bestows a title of nobility on those who have especially distinguished themselves.

Children’s film camp, where even during the sports shift the participants create a film, and by the end of the profile shift they get three films, one cartoon and another photo project. A child who does not dream of becoming a director, actor or screenwriter at all will be able to do makeup, scenery or anything else. Filmmaking here is rather a way of interaction and implementation. But the camp staff, including the director, are theater and film professionals.

Childhood is a special period in the life of every child. At this time, game is the main, most interesting and exciting way to know the world around you and yourself. Understanding this underlies the program of the children’s health-improving linguistic camp “Euroclub”. Read the report from past shifts in summer, autumn, winter and spring, examples of thematic days: Magic Day and Business Day at the Club.
The author’s program of our camp is represented by Theme Days, which are held by our Lords and Ladies, and special events that we organize together with professional instructors, animators and artists. Children are always looking forward to the arrival of our artist from the School of Modern Art, the master of drawing Ebru, the professor of the Chemistry Show and other friends of the “Euroclub”.
Show program and discos in the children’s camp
“Euroclub” is famous for its fun themed parties, discos and a brilliant show program with the participation of our counselors, as well as professional artists and the best groups of Moscow. At each session in summer, autumn, winter and spring, a surprise awaits children!
Thematic games and days in the camp “Euroclub”
Every day in the Club is bright and memorable, as it has its own theme, which corresponds to all the games and events taking place on that day in the Club. One of the most beloved days is Magic Day, which gives every child the opportunity to feel like a student of the Hogwarts school of magic, learn magic and play their favorite Harry Potter game quidditch. Also, the children are faced with the task of saving the school of magic from the dark Dementors and not letting them destroy the last refuge of magic in our world. Games of Thrones is one of the most exciting days in the Club, with the Grand Tournament honoring the new Hand of the King of Westeros, various competitive tournaments and the King’s favorite sight being the Fighting Pit. A grandiose role-playing game and in the open air unfolds throughout the Euroclub children’s camp and completely captures the attention of boys and girls of any age.

All themed days and games are the author’s development of our camp staff, the games have many combinations and every time they are very grandiose and exciting. We will not reveal all the secrets – come to the EC and plunge into the world of fantasy and adventure of our Club!

The program of the Euroclub is so full of events that the children do not have a minute of free time, every day gives something new and interesting! The day is scheduled by the minute – whether it is preparation for the Parliament, or for one of the events. The Club also hosts English Talks with a teacher who is a native speaker (the main principle of learning foreign languages is a comfortable immersion in the language environment, an unusual form of presenting the curriculum, combined with outdoor activities and the opportunity to discover a lot of new and interesting things), participation in valiant knightly battles on Legend Day or in fashion shows from eminent couturiers on Fashion Day.
The organizers of the Club program are sure that there is always a place for new, even more interesting thematic days, games, competitions and shows.

The program of the Club will delight our children who love outdoor activities and who dream of having fun and interesting school holidays. See you at the Club during the winter, spring, autumn and summer holidays-2022!
how schoolchildren from Krasnodar spent their summer holidays – this is what the vast majority of children think when the summer ends the school year. But after a few days of doing nothing, many begin to get bored and look for something to do. Adults are ready for such a turn, especially experienced specialists who work with children on duty know this. Therefore, every year, on the eve of the summer holidays, the departments of the city administration prepare a large program of events so that young Krasnodar residents do not get bored, and the rest time is spent with benefit. Krasnodarskiye Izvestia learned about what kind of leisure activities were organized for boys and girls from the relevant departments of the city administration.
Even if you stayed at home
If we talk about the work of the Department of Education, the main indicator that has been achieved is almost 100% enrollment of schoolchildren. To be precise – 99.7%.
From May 25 to July 7, 79 specialized camps on the basis of general education schools worked in two shifts. More than ten thousand children rested here. Each shift lasted 21 days.
The camps were called profile camps for a reason. Several directions were organized for the children: patriotic, natural science (ecological and biological), sports, technical and creative.
At the same time, 30 labor and recreation camps operated in schools. More than 1200 students spent time here. Children were busy in the school plots, participated in the landscaping of the territory.
Those who like to go to the camp
At the end of May, two out-of-town camps were opened for Krasnodar boys and girls: the Olginka complex sports and health center and the Krasnodarskaya Smena children’s health center. There were six shifts in each center.
In the first summer month, Krasnodar Smena brought together 1,200 children involved in choirs, activists of school self-government, winners and active participants in creative competitions, sports contests for schoolchildren, pupils of sports schools.
In Olginka in June, profile shifts worked for 300 schoolchildren – winners and participants of the scientific and practical conference, subject Olympiads, the military sports game “Zarnitsa”, competitions of technical creativity, activists of military-patriotic work, members of the detachments of young traffic inspectors, young researchers.
It has become a good tradition to start shifts in camps from safety days. Children test their evacuation skills, participate in briefings and conversations about the correct behavior in extreme situations.
Safety and health minutes were held in all camps. They talked with the children and showed videos and multimedia presentations on the rules of hygiene for schoolchildren, healthy nutrition, healthy lifestyle, rules of safe behavior on the road and at home, fire safety and water burns and heat stroke.
Due to the fact that the camps are equipped with sports equipment and board games (puzzles, table football, basketball, educational games), children have the opportunity to practice and develop in sports. And of course, many enjoyed participating in sports activities and outdoor games in the fresh air. These are “Merry Starts”, and chess and checkers tournaments, and competitions in mini-football, basketball, pioneer ball, badminton.
A change in the camp is always a memorable and bright event. / PHOTO: VK.COM/UDM_KRD
Scythian routes
Another major activity that the Department of Education successfully implemented during the summer holidays is hiking. Over the past summer, 215 hiking trips were organized and conducted, which were attended by more than 2.5 thousand children. They will remember for a long time the “Routes of the Scythians” (station Ubinskaya – the city of Papai – the tract of Melnichiy Stream – the village of Pshada) and the route “By the Roads of War” (the village of Khrebtovoye – Kaverzinskiye waterfalls – Ayuk waterfalls – Fanagoriyskaya cave – the village of Fanagoriyskoye).
All hikes organized by the Department of Education were accompanied by specialists from the Krasnodar regional emergency rescue service “Kuban-Spas”.
Every year, on the eve of the summer campaign, a city competition of programs for the organization of recreation, health improvement and employment of children and adolescents is held. The winners of the competition – educational organizations – receive funding for the implementation of their programs, which involve the recreation and improvement of children outside the urban environment. So, this summer, Krasnodar schoolchildren attended six field-specific shifts organized by educational organizations for 590 people, including 400 students at the Inter-School Aesthetic Center, who have been participants in the thematic shift “Techno-IEC Youth Innovation Campus” for the third year. Profile shifts were held on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory.
In addition, nine thematic expeditions were carried out in the summer. More than 200 children visited the Tuapse, Apsheron and Goryacheklyuchevsky districts, as well as in the vicinity of the city of Krasnodar and on the Kuban River.
Cleaned up the city and went on excursions
Throughout the summer, schoolchildren organized environmental campaigns “The Cleanest School Yard”, “Let’s Make the City Cleaner”, “Green Sprout”. This was a feasible contribution to cleaning up the city and keeping it clean.
The guys did not forget about the cleanliness of their native Krasnodar.
In addition, during the summer holidays, circles and sections worked on the basis of general educational institutions and institutions of additional education. Excursion trips around the Krasnodar Territory and beyond were carried out, sports, cultural and leisure events were organized.
Every child could find something to his liking. Children happily ran to school, not to lessons, but to play: during the holidays, daytime thematic playgrounds worked at the base of each school. Almost 75 thousand young Krasnodar residents had fun and interesting time here, and in the evening the kids hurried to the sports grounds. More than 53 thousand children and teenagers studied here.
Life in the summer was in full swing at all the sports grounds of the city.
For pocket expenses
Those guys who wanted not only to have a rest, but also to earn money, were given such an opportunity. The municipal program “Promotion of employment of the population” operates in the city, the subprogram of which involves the organization of temporary employment of minors. During the summer period, between the city’s Employment Center and educational organizations subordinate to the Department of Education of Krasnodar, agreements were concluded on joint activities in the organization of temporary employment. Thus, 3,762 schoolchildren from 14 to 18 years old were able to earn extra money. Among them are about 2,000 teenagers participating in the New Timurovtsy movement. The guys visited sponsored war and labor veterans, cleaned the yards and household plots, monitored the state of memorials and monuments.
Atmospheric, interesting, useful!
Another out-of-town camp that hosted children this year is the recreation center “Dubrava”, which is located in the Department of Youth Affairs of the city. Here, the youth leaders spent six shifts, during which a total of more than 700 children and adolescents aged 14 to 17 had a rest. The guys participated in a wide variety of activities. The most athletic competed in strength and dexterity, showed their abilities in the competition “Mr. and Mrs. Dubrava” and the talent contest, tried to shoot public service announcements, communicated during the speech session with such speakers as Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Dmitry Pirog, general producer of the film company and film school “MedvedFilmprod” Yulianna Medvedeva, organizer of the federal project “Streets of Russia” Alexei Ternovoi, general producer of the TV channel “Kuban 24” Dmitry Kramar, deputy of the City Duma of Krasnodar and editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Krasnodar News” Vladimir Verbitsky, and other experts in their fields.
That’s how it would be all year round: to have fun and relax, sunbathe and enjoy life.
In addition to the work of the summer camp, specialists from the Department of Youth Affairs organized and held youth playgrounds, including projects such as Street Stage, In Trend, Cinema of Our Yard, Krasnodar Arbat, the Tut youth playground and a mobile street festival “Uf”.
In total, more than 40 thousand people took part in their work. The youth playground “Cinema of Our Court” was especially popular (it was held 16 times), but the youth playground “Tut” broke all records (it was held 45 times over the summer).
Everyone from 14 to 35 years old could find something to do: 60 youth communities of various types function on the basis of institutions subordinate to the Youth Affairs Department. They are open all year round and classes are free of charge.
The Department of Youth Affairs also found employment opportunities for those wishing to earn extra money by hiring 69 teenagers for temporary work.
Culture has no days off, but cultural holidays are always welcome
The summer period was also active and creative for the institutions of the city’s cultural department, where a large cultural and leisure program for children and teenagers was organized. During the holidays, 44 summer playgrounds were open, which were visited with pleasure by almost nine thousand children. These were classes in vocal and choreography, arts and crafts, acting, fine arts. The children were shown cartoons and videos on the rules of the road and a healthy lifestyle.
In the parks and squares of Krasnodar, there were six visiting reading rooms: in the City Garden, Chistyakovskaya Grove, in the park “Solnechny Ostrov”, in the square “Cossack Glory”, in the park of the village of Starokorsunskaya, in the square “Molodezhny” on the street. Sormovskaya. Library points were organized in preschool institutions, events dedicated to memorable dates and events in the history of Russia and the Kuban were held.
Creative teams also had no time to rest, they took part in all-Russian, regional, regional festivals and competitions. And for students of art schools and art departments of children’s schools of arts, educational visiting plein airs were organized.
Each event has its own zest
The brightest events were concerts dedicated to various memorable dates and holidays. So, in Chistyakovskaya Grove there was a concert “Wings of my Russia”, dedicated to the Day of the Russian flag. Creative teams from the City House of Culture No. 1 of the Central Intra-City District prepared beautiful patriotic songs, and the hosts told about important historical events.
Each institution prepared its own interesting events and directions. For example, in the Pashkovsky House of Culture, a special place was given to master classes. So, during the vocal master class, the children got acquainted with the biography and work of Rasul Gamzatov. Many people really liked the acting master classes “I want to go on stage!” and Stage Movement. They help develop the child’s oratorical abilities, train memory, and help to relax. The children enjoyed participating in master classes in the choreography “Repeat after me” and “Everybody dance!”.
Master classes were very popular among the children.
A branch of the Karasunsky Center for Cultural Development hosted the Coloring Book Festival “Create”, dedicated to the celebration of Coloring Book Day. Participants were asked to learn several coloring techniques and then apply them. So the guys learned how to work with slate pollen and cotton wool, draw with gouache and cotton swabs. At the end of the festival, everyone was invited to make bright drawings on their faces using the face art technique.
The museum of the Karasunsky Center for Cultural Development hosted a competition of decorative, fine and photographic arts “Here is my land, here I live”, timed to coincide with the 85th anniversary of the formation of the Krasnodar Territory, as well as the Day of the State Flag of Russia. The organizers introduced the children to the history of the state symbols of Russia and the Kuban, talked about the meaning of the colors of the flags, their meaning in history and art. Master classes were held for the participants in various areas: arts and crafts, fine arts and photography. The guys created works that reflect the colors of the flags of Russia, Kuban, made in traditional folk technique. At the end of the competition, an exhibition of the works of participants and masters was organized. All children received commemorative certificates.

It’s time to become fairy-tale characters
For pupils of the Krasnodar Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adolescents with Disabilities, employees of Branch No. 9 of the Krasnodar Central City Library. V.B. Bakaldin prepared a game-journey “The Emerald City of A. Volkov”. The children plunged into the atmosphere of a fairy tale, “along the magic yellow brick path” they went to the assembly hall of the library, where they were waiting for a virtual meeting with the characters of the work “The Wizard of Izumrudny City”. The children learned interesting facts from the biography of the writer and the history of the creation of the fairy tale. Together with the Woodcutter, the Scarecrow, Ellie and the Lion, they did a fun exercise, and then watched a fragment of the cartoon The Wizard of the Emerald City. The event ended with an acquaintance with an exhibition of books by the writer Alexander Volkov.
On the territory of the Molodezhny Square, specialists from the Krasnodar City Cultural Center held a thematic game program “Kuban Territory — Cossack Territory!” dedicated to the Year of Folk Art and Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia.

The Center for Culture and Leisure of the Prikubansky intracity district also introduced children to the peculiarities of national traditions, an event “Traditions, customs and holidays of the Cossacks” was held here. The children were able to learn more about the crafts of our ancestors, join their culture, and also play games that the Cossacks used to play.

“Children should always have the right to a happy childhood. Their time should be a time of joy, a time of peace, play, learning and growth”
Convention on the Rights of the Child
Actuality:
left without parental care, children in a difficult life situation. These children are in conditions of social deprivation already due to the fact that they are deprived of the most important thing for a child – a family that cannot be replaced by the best orphanage or social rehabilitation center (SRTSN). Nevertheless, during their stay in such an institution, children must master certain social roles and moral standards in order not to become victims of the socialization process, in order to live fully and happily, in order to get a profession, start a family, and realize themselves in life. Pedagogically oriented socialization of pupils should be carried out in all areas of upbringing and educational work, including in the field of leisure activities. The core of the adaptation and integration of children from the SRSC into society is the development of a sense of friendship and readiness for mutual assistance. In the activities of the SRCN, the principles of pedagogy and psychology, taking into account the individual characteristics of children, acquire particular relevance. First of all, it is advisable to involve pupils in activities that are interesting for them and at the same time ensure the development of their personality. Most importantly, it should be aimed at achieving success, which enhances the motivation for self-development of the individual. Holiday time is one of the most favorable areas for personal development, when it is possible to create a situation of success for almost every child. It is success that gives strength, faith in the possibility of overcoming any obstacles, creates the basis for the formation of high self-esteem, the manifestation of the originality and individuality of the child, without which the formation of a healthy psyche is impossible. Leisure activities of children in this regard should be diverse, include various forms of educational, creative, sports activities that satisfy the most diverse interests of children. Particular attention should be paid to creating conditions for the child’s free choice of activities. Leisure activities in the conditions of the SRTS should become a joint developmental activity of children and adults. At the same time, it is necessary to provide children with independence, ensure the change of roles and activities of each child, develop the interests, skills, and abilities of children. Pedagogical expediency : is revealed in all aspects of the educational process – training, development and upbringing. Summer holidays are long-awaited, fun, hot and the longest of the year. The action plan “Summer Carousel” was developed taking into account the abilities and interests of children. These activities provide conditions for the creative development of the child’s personality, prevention of child neglect, the formation of a children’s team and the socialization of children.

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.

About This Data
Nonprofit Explorer includes summary data for nonprofit tax returns and full Form 990 documents, in both PDF and digital formats.
The summary data contains information processed by the IRS during the 2012-2019 calendar years; this generally consists of filings for the 2011-2018 fiscal years, but may include older records. This data release includes only a subset of what can be found in the full Form 990s.
In addition to the raw summary data, we link to PDFs and digital copies of full Form 990 documents wherever possible. This consists of separate releases by the IRS of Form 990 documents processed by the agency, which we update regularly.
We also link to copies of audits nonprofit organizations that spent $750,000 or more in Federal grant money in a single fiscal year since 2016. These audits are copied from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
Which Organizations Are Here?
Every organization that has been recognized as tax exempt by the IRS has to file Form 990 every year, unless they make less than $200,000 in revenue and have less than $500,000 in assets, in which case they have to file form 990-EZ. Organizations making less than $50,000 don’t have to file either form but do have to let the IRS they’re still in business via a Form 990N “e-Postcard.”
Nonprofit Explorer has organizations claiming tax exemption in each of the 27 subsections of the 501(c) section of the tax code, and which have filed a Form 990, Form 990EZ or Form 990PF. Taxable trusts and private foundations that are required to file a form 990PF are also included. Small organizations filing a Form 990N “e-Postcard” are not included in this data.
Types of Nonprofits
There are 27 nonprofit designations based on the numbered subsections of section 501(c) of the tax code. See the list »

E.V. Shabarshina Eletech LLC, Kaliningrad
A well organized seminar with a useful program that is well taught. The material is clear, structured, well perceived both visually and aurally. The teacher (Tarasov A.) clearly follows the program, is very well versed in the current legislation, in its changes and in practical application. Always answers questions on the merits, from whatever part of the seminar program they may arise. Organizational moments also pleased with the performance – the venue is very comfortable and pleasant in location, parking is organized for participants by personal transport (very pleased), lunch – special thanks (location, menu, service 5+). Handout – excellent and practical! A very small minus (rather it’s not even for the organizers) is not very comfortable chairs, but you can survive it. Thank you!

“President Lincoln is a vampire hunter”, Seth Graham-Smith / Articles / Newslab.Ru
07/17/2012
Literature of the “mash-up” genre, which is steadily gaining popularity abroad, in our country is doomed to be classroom repetition literature. If in the West a book about Anna Karenina the android, or about Elizabeth Bennet, who hunts zombies in her free time from social events, can draw attention to the “big and serious” literature of various comic book lovers, then we will turn to such reading, first of all, graduates of liberal arts universities, that is, those who, due to an acute educational need, read the original itself. In this regard, “Lincoln the Vampire Hunter” has more chances to go to the people – after all, this is an independent literary work with a blood-sucking flavor that is fashionable now, and Timur Bekmambetov’s blockbuster recently paved the way for it.
For those who happily avoided the movie and haven’t gotten to the book yet, I’ll briefly outline the plot. The novel was allegedly written by an unknown narrator based on the diaries of one of the four great US presidents, Abraham Lincoln, which retells his turbulent and difficult life – a poor childhood in the American outback, the death of his mother, and working youth (he worked hard, of course, not as a slave in the galleys, but a lot), entry into the path of politics, election, civil war and tragic death. However, another one has been added to the general set of values - vampires. Insidious bloodsuckers moved to the New World in large numbers after the number of hunters for them in Europe exceeded some unpleasant value; in the cradle of democracy, they especially liked the legalized slave trade, which allowed them to keep whole pens with live food with impunity. Abe has declared ruthless war on these same vampires since one of them killed his mother; Lincoln kills vampires with his own hand and quite brutally. The confrontation between the North and the South in this context is the struggle of humanity against a mysterious race that uses people as portable thermoses with blood, and the political debate in Congress is a battle between those who are ready to cooperate with vampires and those who are not.
Now is the time to say something really wild – the book is actually more interesting than the movie. She is not struck by the venomous disputes of pop cinema – for example, there is no black childhood friend who will first help Abe buy bloodsuckers with an ax, and then become one of the closest advisers to the president, in the book, of course, and this alone shows that Graham- Smith as a writer is much more adequate than himself as a screenwriter. There is no sexy vampirella here, a strange ban on killing their own kind by ghouls (therefore, they willingly participate in the war between northerners and southerners on both sides of the front), Abe’s inexplicable superhuman strength (just a guy chopping firewood a lot and diligently and therefore was stronger than his peers).
Another reason is that America’s sixteenth president lived an exciting life without any vampires. The son of a poor farmer who, thanks to his stubbornness, tough temper, and remarkable mind, made his way from a farmhand to head of state, was strewn with so many thorns that he would have been enough for a standard adventure novel – he distilled homemade barges along the Mississippi, fought with the Indians, buried three their children and first wife. Graham-Smith deftly mixes real facts from life into one deck, tales invented by biographers (fortunately, mystical stories related to Lincoln – a wagon and a small cart) and his vampires, so that in the end the resulting solitaire may give away pop art, but it looks quite cute. In addition, the book has a high-quality, intonationally verified translation.
The civil war and the social divisions that led to it are depicted quite historically – Abe emphasizes that he is fighting separatists and vampires, not slave owners (and in real life he stated that he was fighting for the preservation of the United States, not for the abolition of slavery). Yes, it’s a simple and wild book, but it’s definitely fascinating. After reading it, it is almost impossible to fight the urge to open Wiki and find out how everything really was.

School speaking tournament prepared and
0429
Gassan T. Yu.
Kuznetsova Yu.V.
22.10.2008
Presenter 1: Hello, dear friends!
Speaker 2: We welcome you to this room. The second year in our school there is an oratory tournament.
Presenter 1: The main goal of the tournament is the formation and development of your, dear guys, communicative culture, abilities for reasoned reasoning.
Speaker 2: Who are the speakers, you ask?
Presenter 1 : These are people who know the art of eloquence, have a strong voice, excellent diction.
Presenter 2: The speech of the speaker must be beautiful, rich, this person must be impeccably literate, must be able to correctly build and use words in speech.
Presenter 1: It turns out that becoming a public speaker is not easy, it takes a lot of work.
History has brought us information about many famous orators who mastered the art of eloquence.
Narrator 2: From a young age Demosthenes, one of the most famous Athenian orators, dreamed of fame, but he was tongue-tied, had a weak voice, short breathing and a habit of twitching his shoulder.
Presenter 2: With perseverance and energy, however, he overcame all these shortcomings.
He learned to pronounce words clearly, putting shards and pebbles into his mouth, making speeches on the seashore, with the sound of waves, practiced facial expressions in front of a mirror, and a sword descending from the ceiling stabbed him every time he, out of habit, raised his shoulder.
Presenter 1: Studying the patterns of eloquence, Demosthenes did not leave the room for weeks, shaving half his head to avoid temptation.
Presenter 2: Demosthenes’ speeches are called “the mirror of character”. He prepared for performances very thoroughly, often for whole nights. The accusatory speeches of Demosthenes were so caustic and bilious that contemporaries called the speaker arg (translated from Greek as “serpent”).
Master 1 : Abd al-Qadir – Arab emir, national hero of Algeria, commander, scientist, orator and poet. Thanks to his extraordinary abilities and the art of eloquence, he gained wide popularity, was elected emir by the tribes of western Algeria and created an independent state.
Narrator 1: Another great speaker Abraham Lincoln attended school for only a year, but managed to learn to read and love books.
Presenter 2: Having become an adult, he was engaged in self-education, improved the art of speaking. After learning on his own, in 1836 Lincoln passed the bar exam. The young legislator and lawyer quickly gained prestige due to his oratorical skills and impeccable reputation. 9We present you the competent jury of our tournament:
Deputy Director Shulenina Olga Vladimirovna;
teacher of Russian language and literature Umudova Irina Enverovna;
representative of the Council of High School Students ………………………………………….

Take care of the dress again, and honor from a young age.
One for all and all for one.
One black sheep spoils the whole flock.
He sees a twig in someone else’s eye, but he does not notice a log in his own.
Each person has his own talent.
Stinging nettle will be born, but it will come in handy in cabbage soup.
Don’t dig a hole for someone else – you will fall into it yourself.
The truth is that you can’t hide it in a bag.
Themes for 9-11 classes.

Knowledge is armor against all troubles.

How Much Does In-Home Daycare Cost?
How much does in-home daycare cost?
If you’re planning on opening your own in-home daycare, how much should you charge?
If you’re searching for in-home childcare, how much should you expect to pay?
In-home daycare costs can vary significantly from state to state, from county to county, and even on a per facility basis. This can make it challenging for parents who need access to child care to find the best price for their specific area.
To help you learn more about the cost of in-home daycare, we’ve created this guide to in-home daycare costs across the United States. We’ll highlight the most important factors impacting the cost of child care and help you decide how much you should pay for in-home daycare in your area.
Determining Cost Factors of In-Home Daycares
When it comes to understanding the cost of in-home daycare, there are seven important factors that come into play:
Location
Licensing and Accreditation
Experience
Child’s Age
Hours
Supplies
Meals
To make sure you’re getting a fair deal on in-home child care, you’ll need to understand how these seven factors contribute to the total cost. Next, we’ll look individually at each of these cost factors in more detail.
Location of the Home Daycare
The location of the childcare center is one of the main factors determining the cost of childcare. In general, home daycare centers in states with higher real estate costs and higher cost of living will be more expensive. In states where property is less expensive, you should expect to pay comparatively less for in-home daycare services.
Find Your State
The national non-profit organization known as Child Care Aware of America (CCAA) advocates for high-quality, affordable child care services in the United States. As part of a 2019 report, CCAA published data on the average annual cost of in-home child care for a single infant, as well as for an infant plus a four-year-old, across 47 states.
Review the table below and find your state to see how much you should expect to pay annually for child care based on where you live.

Licensing & Accreditation Status
Home daycare operators who are licensed and accredited by the state are usually more expensive than informal daycares that operate without a license.
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should search for a daycare with no license because it costs less money.
The home daycare licensing process helps ensure that child care providers across the country are suitable caregivers for young children. State regulators enforce requirements such as CPR and first aid training, environmental inspections of the home, medical testing and background screening for care providers and other family members in the home, staffing ratios and other factors that directly impact the safety of your children.
Provider Experience
Most child care providers determine their rates based on their own experience and the unique values they bring to the table.
If the child care provider is a young, local parent with a high school education and some basic child care skills, they will likely charge less than an experienced daycare center operator with a degree in psychology and years of childhood education experience.
With that said, a highly skilled child care provider is absolutely worth the extra cost. Educated child care professionals have spent years studying the cognitive development of young minds and how to maximize their learning while creating a structured and caring environment.
Child’s Age & Needs
Child care is a hands-on service, and kids need the right amount of individualized attention to reach their full potential. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management publishes recommendations for staffing ratios based on the age of children and the size of the group.
For infants, staffing ratios of 1 caregiver for 3 or 4 infants are recommended, with a maximum group size of 8 kids.
For toddlers aged 12 to 28 months, a maximum staffing ratio of 1:4 is recommended with a maximum group size of 12 kids.
For children aged 21 to 36 months, a maximum staffing ratio of 1:6 is recommended with a maximum group size of 12 kids.
For kids between 2 and 5, staffing ratios of 1:10 are recommended with maximum group sizes of 20 kids.
Once kids reach kindergarten age, a staffing ratio of 1:12 is recommended and group sizes can reach up to 24 kids.
Most child care centers follow some version of these recommendations. As a result, child care costs more for younger children because they require increased supervision with more attention. Many in-home daycares offer different pricing packages based on child age. Some states mandate that in-home daycare providers care for some maximum of kids under a certain age, so make sure any provider you choose follows your state laws.
Planning considerations for child care staffing have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Centers are advised to recruit additional staff that can fill in if existing members fall ill or must remain at home to care for ill family members. While staffing ratios have not changed, the need to implement social distancing strategies as directed by the CDC could mean fewer space for children in centers across the country.
Hours
Your cost for daycare can vary based on the number of hours per day that you plan to leave your child at the daycare center. Most in-home daycares open between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., closing between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. If you drop your child off later or pick them up earlier, you may qualify for a lower rate.
Supplies
Some child care centers charge extra supply fees on top of normal daycare fees depending on what they provide. If your daycare center provides things like baby wipes, diapers, laundry service, toiletries (soap, handwash, sunscreen), or consumable art supplies, you may end up paying more to offset some of those costs.
Meals
Most in-home daycare centers have a system set up for providing meals to kids.
You may have the option of having the daycare center provide meals for your child throughout the day or packing them a lunch each day along with additional snacks.
If you choose to have the daycare center provide meals for your child, you should expect to pay a little bit more. This is especially true if your child has dietary needs that may require daycare providers to make special arrangements or develop new capabilities.
Breaking This All Down for Your Family
Looking at the annual in-home daycare cost for your state can feel a little overwhelming at first, so it’s important to break it down into monthly or weekly budget items that are easier to manage.
Most daycare centers will also explain pricing as a weekly or monthly rate, so you’ll want to know the conversions ahead of time to avoid being caught off guard. Here’s how to figure out weekly rates from the data we’ve provided above.
Weekly Cost Per Child
Start with the annual average child care cost for your state. If you lived in Florida, that would be $8,070.
Next, divide that number by 52 to get the weekly rate.
$8,070 divided by 52 weeks works out to $155/week.
Monthly Cost Per Child
If you’re planning to pay your child care costs each month, you’ll have to calculate your rate in a different way.
Start with the same annual average childcare cost for your state. Let’s imagine you live in Rhode Island, so the average annual cost for infant care is $9,900.
Next, divide that number by 12 to get the monthly rate.
$9,900 divided by 12 is $825, so you would expect to pay around $825/month.

How Much Should You Charge for In-Home Daycare?
In addition to the safety and legal aspects of starting a daycare, there are also financial considerations that should be planned for. Initial start-up costs can run high, depending on the readiness of one’s home. Business owners should plan for unexpected expenses to make their home compliant with state regulations, as well as setting aside additional upfront costs such as marketing materials. These expenses, along with recurring costs, contribute to what one should charge for in-home daycare.
For an in-home daycare service, one should charge between $700 and $900 per month for each child. These numbers are consistent with the national averages of in-home child care costs. Although rates are dependent on a number of factors, one can reasonably expect to charge that much to keep up with expenses and remain profitable.
In order to understand the rates daycares charge, it is important to distinguish between the different types of daycare facilities. In-home daycare centers provide child care services within the residence of a professional caregiver. Larger child care facilities, on the other hand, are typically in commercial buildings. There also tends to be a greater amount of diversity, as in-home daycares often offer mixed age group settings. Thus, a familial feel is attributed to in-home daycares, while typical daycare centers may feel more like a classroom.
As a result of the differences between daycare facilities, there is a wide range of rates charged to clients. Rates can vary among types of daycares, as well as their locations and training. On average, in-home daycare centers tend to be more affordable than traditional child care facilities. This is largely because larger businesses are commercial properties, thus having higher overhead costs than a residential daycare. However, the most expensive type of child care is a nanny, with a national average cost of $596 per week.
Commercial child care centers incur significantly greater costs as a result of their size. They also take on additional expenses, such as property leases. The upfront costs are also much greater, as more appliances, hardware, and supplies are required. Caring after a larger number of children means that more staff are needed to comply with state ratios of caregivers to children. Classroom supplies, food products, monthly bills, and labor all cost much more at typical child care centers, which contributes to their high rates.
Business Expenses
A significant consideration when determining how much one will charge for their in-home daycare service is business expenses. In-home daycare owners face a number of upfront expenses, especially when first starting out. If the business owner’s home does not comply with state regulations pertaining to child care centers, renovations and upgrades must be made before the business can open. Initial supplies cost about $7,500 administrative costs tend to be around $6,800, and building renovation costs could potentially run up to $40,000 if a complete renovation is needed.
Despite these expenses upon startup, it still remains significantly cheaper to create and run an in-home daycare rather than a typical child care center. There are no additional building lease costs, as the business is run entirely out of the owner’s home. Administrative and supply costs are relatively low, as less items are needed. This is because in-home daycares provide care to less children than larger commercial centers. As a result, fewer supplies and staff are needed, which not only reduces costs, but can also make the business a bit easier to manage.
When deciding on rates for a daycare service, monthly expenses are among the most important to consider, as they are recurring and will consistently cost the business money on a regular basis. Such costs include food, toys, educational materials, utility bills, annual licensing fees, and labor. Labor costs will vary quite a bit between states, and should be determined based on the qualifications of the staff. The business owner’s salary should also be included in this calculation to give a more accurate representation of total labor costs. The number of staff will largely depend on state regulation, as many states have set ratios of caregivers to children.
Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety also translates into greater costs, which must be considered. Purchasing proper sanitizing supplies and ensuring the home remains safe is critical. Educational materials also must be purchased relatively often as well if it is offered. Some in-home daycare centers choose to eliminate this expense by requesting parents to provide the necessary supplies.
Average Rates
National averages of weekly daycare rates show that child care centers charge between $180 and $215, which amounts to about $720 and $860 per month, respectively. These numbers have also increased quite considerably since 2014. When factoring in both child care centers and family care centers, the average increase was nearly $50 per week. This increase shows how quickly and dramatically the prices of daycare can fluctuate. While there is not a specific clear reason for the relatively rapid increase, a significant portion of the revenue goes to complying with regulatory standards. Perhaps the most impactful of these standards is the staff to child ratio, which requires a high number of staff on duty, even for a small number of children.
If one is looking to open a daycare in the District of Columbia, California, Oregon, New Mexico, or New York, business owners may be able to charge more and remain competitive. This is because those five places are the top five least affordable for child care centers, which is based on the average care cost in relation to median family income.
In some states, such as Massachusetts, average costs can exceed $10,000 per year for infants. The most affordable states include North Dakota, Utah, Delaware, New Jersey, and South Dakota. In these states, daycare can be as low as around $300 per month. This can likely be attributed, at least in part, to the varying costs of living around the country. In states where there are lower labor costs, low house costs, and less strict regulation, daycare centers are able to charge much less. This tends to be geographic, with the most expensive in-home daycare centers being located in urban cities, while more affordable child care facilities are located in rural areas.
Contributing Factors
Many factors contribute to the cost of an in-home daycare. Age, for example, is a significant factor that impacts the rates charged by daycare centers. Younger children, especially newborns and infants, can cost much more than older children. This is because they require much more attention and care as a result of their needs. They need to be fed and have their diapers changed, which requires more work than older children. On average, in-home daycare centers charge $720 more per year for infants than four years old.
Location is also a factor that impacts daycare rates, which makes it especially important for business owners to first check other local rates. Not only will this likely make the daycare more reasonably priced for clients compared to others in the area, but it will also increase competition. By keeping rates similar or slightly lower than nearby daycare facilities, clients may be much more attracted to the business.
In-home daycare facilities that face higher costs, such as high renovation expenses, high utility bills, or high labor costs may also decide to charge more. Doing this ensures that the business will keep up with expenses while also staying profitable. Additionally, in-home daycare centers may face higher licensing fees if their business is certified to care for a larger number of children, for example. Thus, licensing and accreditation status also impacts what owners charge for their services. Although a business owner may have to charge more as a result of this status, it has been shown that many parents are willing to pay more for a daycare center that is licensed and is staffed with qualified caregivers. A study showed that 66% of parents are willing to pay more for child care services if the staff received safety training, such as CPR and first aid certifications.
The number of children the daycare expects to care for also plays a role in determining what to charge. If a relatively large number of children are going to attend the facility, then one may be able to charge slightly less, since the business expenses are spread over more children. Similarly, if only a small number of children are to be cared for, owners may have to charge a little more for their services.
The services offered by the in-home daycare are also a significant contributing factor. Some daycare centers offer tutoring or overnight care, which could justify higher rates. Further, experience and skills may also lead to higher rates, as experienced staff with specialized skills costs more than hiring staff with minimal qualifications. Despite the higher cost, experienced staff can prove to be an asset, as parents would likely feel more comfortable leaving their children under the watchful eye of more experienced caregivers. Also, some parents may be looking for a daycare center with bilingual staff or caregivers that have experience watching children with behavioral or developmental issues. In addition, many daycare centers offer meals for children. This could result in higher rates because food preparation requires additional time and financial commitment. Food must be ordered and prepared, which adds to expenses.
The success of an in-home daycare is dependent on a wide variety of factors and, while parents certainly consider cost, they tend to prioritize the quality of care. Successful in-home daycares gain a good reputation, maintain high standards, receive accreditation, and exercise exceptional care. Parents are likely willing to pay more for an in-home daycare service that achieves all of this, which is why it is important to run a safe and healthy facility.
Related Questions
How much can I expect to earn?
Most daycare owners can expect to earn a net profit of nine to fourteen percent of gross revenue. Home daycare owners have a median income of around $20,000 per year. It remains a rewarding profession that many business owners in the industry are passionate about. In order to become more profitable or earn a higher salary, some in-home daycare owners choose to expand their businesses to larger commercial properties. This increases profit, as much more children can be cared for in a bigger facility.
What are some additional considerations I should factor in?
Owners of in-home daycare centers should consider some other factors that may impact the final rate. This includes commuting, the number of children, benefits to employees, more training, taxes, and budgetary needs. Benefits to employees include 401k savings funds, health insurance, and paid time off. These all have considerable financial implications for the daycare business, which may affect what one charge. Further, business owners may decide that they would like their staff to receive more training. Sponsoring CPR or first aid training will be an additional expense. Similarly, hiring staff who are already certified will also cost more in labor than hiring those who are not.
What are some additional tips regarding how much to charge for in-home daycare?
Perhaps one of the most important things a business owner can do is to create and maintain a budget. This allows one to keep track of costs and determine whether the business is profitable. This is especially important because of all the complex factors that contribute to daycare rates. Remaining cognizant of what similar nearby businesses are charging is also a good idea, as it allows one to understand what clients reasonably expect to pay for child care services. It is also important to note that the rates are not permanently set, and can be subject to change. Over the past five years, daycares have charged considerably more each year. While keeping up with other businesses in the market is necessary, it is also wise to consider what clients are willing to pay before changing rates.

In fact, I came to the Civic Assistance Committee, since a significant part of the questions, the answers to which I have to look for here, in practice intersected with the topic of my Ph.D. thesis – I wrote about establishing the fact of labor relations. I came, talked with future colleagues, it turned out that just at the moment I needed help in an educational project. My thoughts were something like this: “Now I’ll quickly help them figure it out, there’s nothing special to do there, because it’s just like 2 × 2 = 4, and then I’ll switch to labor issues.” Well, for three years now we have not been able to deal with these questions about getting an education. ( Laughs. ) At first there were two of us, now there are four, but I think this is not the limit, because children are still not taken to school, it is still impossible to arrange a kindergarten. This concerns not only refugees and labor migrants, who are in the focus of attention of Civic Assistance, but also Russian citizens. In general, it turns out infinitely that 2 × 2 = 5, although in the same Moscow we win almost all court cases.
But let’s talk about everything in order.
Civic Assistance Committee is a regional public charitable organization to help refugees and migrants. For more than 30 years, the committee has been helping refugees and migrants in Russia receive legal advice on asylum, citizenship, protection in courts, assistance in applying to government agencies, protection of the rights to housing, work, medical care, and education. For a long time, the committee helped mainly refugees and internally displaced persons, but since 2007, labor migrants have also been in focus.
Lawyers vs lawyers
There is a fundamental difference between a lawyer and a lawyer. A lawyer is personally responsible for what he does. If suddenly you make a serious mistake and you are deprived of the status of a lawyer, then you are actually deprived of the right to a profession. That is, if I am deprived of my status, then I will no longer be able to represent someone’s interests in court.
Some caste, of course, is also present. It is tacitly incorrect to compare who is cooler: a lawyer or a lawyer, but at the same time, there is a lot of status in belonging to the legal profession – this is a fact.
There is a code of conduct for lawyers. This is a fundamental document for us. We are obliged to act solely in the interests of our customer. In a word, there is a large list of these duties, so each case is perceived as very personal. But decent lawyers do the same.
Lawyers may appear in court on an equal basis with lawyers, but as a rule they cannot handle criminal cases. This is probably the key difference. I received the status of a lawyer relatively recently, but so far it has not come to criminal cases.

School, kindergarten and mandatory registration
So, back to the essence of my work. What are we fighting for? For equality. Schools and kindergartens are two different systems, two different planets. Kindergarten attendance is a legally optional story. The child may or may not go to the garden. He has no obligation to attend kindergarten. With school education, the situation is different: studying at school is the duty of every child and no formalities should interfere with this.
Now let me translate this into the language of the law. The obligation of the Department of Education to take the child to kindergarten arises at the moment when the parent submits the appropriate application. But the department’s obligation to enroll a child in school arises regardless of the application, one can say automatically. That is, studying at school is not the right of the child, but his duty.
In Moscow, only children of Muscovites or people with registration go to kindergartens. No registration at the place of residence? You can forget about the place in the kindergarten.
And it comes to the ridiculous: it happens that a child “stands” in line for three years and parents are told that there are no places, but within a week after the child has a residence registration in the capital, a place is instantly found. That is, he was some 200th in line – and immediately moves to first place.
It is quite obvious that we are given unreliable information about the lack of vacancies, but it is impossible to prove the forgery here. It is clear that Moscow is a fast-growing city, it is a metropolis where people come from different cities and countries. Naturally, many parents have a need to attach a child to the garden. If we are talking about those who are not Russian citizens, then this is extremely important for them, because a child who does not speak Russian, but goes to study in a Russian-language school, must take at least some basic language course. This greatly affects its further assimilation.
Primary adaptation in kindergarten would be ideal. As a result, we try to resolve the issue manually, bypassing the mos.ru portal. Moreover, such children, as a rule, have the necessary documents that are quoted: a refugee certificate, information about the status of migration registration – that is, there are no grounds for refusing them. In addition, in the case of refugees, the relevant federal law is also important, which prescribes assistance to such children. Nevertheless, they are placed in the general queue of children who do not have permanent registration in Moscow.
And here again it is very interesting. Indeed, often the story is this: a child could be born in Moscow, live all his life on the territory of Moscow, never even leave it (well, certainly not further than the Moscow region). And yet the lack of permanent registration means no access to the garden. Then we have to go through a completely idiotic procedure for establishing the fact of residence in Moscow, which essentially does not help much, since this status is not displayed on the mos. ru portal.
How much does a school psychologist make in Tula?
They never take him to the kindergarten, but then he still goes to school, where the teachers swear that he does not speak Russian well. Well, yes, we fought for the right to attend kindergarten for four years.
Now we have taken the initiative to the Department of Education so that those children who have all the legal grounds for living in Russia, but do not speak Russian well, could attend pre-school preparation courses in kindergarten. Almost all senior groups of kindergartens have this program, but now these courses function exclusively with reference to attending a kindergarten. And so we ask you to untie one from the other, so that it becomes possible to conclude a separate contract for receiving educational services to prepare for school for children who do not attend preschool institutions.
Now let’s talk about schools. Since there is a legislative obligation to enroll children in schools, then, in theory, nothing more than a statement from the parents and a birth certificate should be required. But now there is some kind of leapfrog with orders: either you can apply through the portal (mos.ru. – Note ed. ), or you can’t apply through the portal. These are all serious restrictions for parents. Initially, we were told that the only possible way to get into the school was to apply through this very portal in Moscow. Now the Ministry of Education offers to apply both through the portal, and in person or even by mail. But right today, the department of education writes an answer to the next application that it is allowed to submit an application only through the portal, and other options are not quoted. Why is that? Because the portal launches the process of per capita financing of children’s education. That’s how the system is set up. For every child who goes to school, funding is allocated from the state. At the same time, what is remarkable: all payments are tied to the BTI databases (technical inventory bureau. – Note ed. ) and calculations are made on the basis of registration at the place of residence or at the place of stay. So all those who do not currently have registration fall into the “blind” zone: both children who are citizens of Russia and children who are not. Foreign citizens cannot obtain such registration (all migration registration falls out). Russian citizens who, for various reasons, could not register themselves, also drop out of the system.
Why perfectionism hurts your career
(c) photographer Alexandra Astakhova
A lot of bureaucratic problems, a lot. For example, information about migration registration would be sufficient for enrolling in a school, but they are stored in the police database, and this database is not synchronized with the mos.ru portal. And school principals often tell us: “We have this child in the system that burns red, we don’t receive funding for him.” And as a result, this idiotic wording “burning red” prevents children from getting an education.
We had a case when a boy came to Moscow from Sochi, because he was undergoing treatment here, and then he stayed for rehabilitation in Moscow. The child is a citizen of Russia, but he was not taken to school in Moscow because he … does not have a permanent registration. That is, the situation is brought to the point of absurdity.
“Legally, this child does not exist!”
It may seem that we are at war with windmills and nothing changes. This is not true, of course. There has been a lot of progress over the past three years (I take the term that I work in the Civic Assistance Committee, because here I can speak with confidence). We are doing a lot of legal work. If three years ago we lost almost all court cases, now we are winning almost everything.
Unfortunately, there are problems with the execution result. However, we have already moved on to the next stage. Now, for example, we can solve some issues more generally and turn to completely different authorities. For example, we were able to achieve changes in the order of the Ministry of Education. This is an order that used to prescribe applying for school education only through the mos. ru portal, but now there is a provision that parents have the right to submit this application by mail or in person. This has not happened before, and this is a big systemic story. We are not alone in achieving this, but in many respects this is the merit of the committee.
Now we are working with the prosecutor’s office on the fact that there are still restrictions on the realization of the right to education. The Department of Education already knows that we are doing this work, they take our position into account. I will not say that our word is decisive, but we have become full-fledged participants in the dialogue, and this is already a lot.
Sometimes people ask me: “In the sense that the court was won, but the decisions are not executed? How it is?” But like this. This is an interesting point, of course. He discourages us too. When we apply to the court, we come up with some kind of demand – or, in everyday language, we ask to perform some kind of action. The court in its decision writes to us that we cannot predetermine the decision of the state body, but we can oblige them to reconsider your issue. This is what we live with, unfortunately.
All decisions are in our favor, but instead of taking some action, the court obliges the defendant to reconsider the issue. And we go around the circle of bureaucratic hell.
“Stung Job”: editor-in-chief of the publication for parents – about working remotely
The main scope of work now is our attempt to build a system of interaction so that at least some of the problems can be solved manually. Let me explain what this means. If the Department of Education is entrusted with the obligation to enroll children in school, then our appeals should be considered, and some action should be taken on them. If it suddenly turns out that a child in Moscow does not go to school, then the task of the Department of Education is to take care of the fate of this child and arrange him for school. Now it is happening like this: for years we have been going and telling that, they say, look, you have a child and he does not go to school. And the department pretends that it [the child] does not exist. And it would be okay if these were all metaphors, but I will give you an example from one case, quite real. A child was sitting next to me, and at the court session they told me that legally it does not exist. And I answered: “But here it is, look! He sits next to me. Here he is definitely present here physically, but he does not receive education! It turned out that he was enrolled in the school in the end.
One in a million difficult stories
There are many difficult stories, all of them special and unique in their own way. I’ll tell you one. Once we were approached by a very, very problematic family, in which there are four children of school age, but none of them went to school. Parents crossed the Russian border illegally, tried to leave here for Europe, but here they were arrested, imprisoned for a year, and the children were sent to an orphanage for this time. The children there, of course, learned the language during this year, but after the parents were released and the children were reunited with them, problems began with getting into the school. This family can no longer leave Russia, but they also cannot legalize themselves in our country. Almost five years have passed since then.
At first, for a long time we could not arrange children for school, we lost the courts, nothing moved from the dead center. And at some point, my colleague, who for some reason never gives up, decided to simply send an application to all schools in Moscow – at random. We sent out the first batch – about 50 applications.
And then the director of one of these schools calls and starts asking: how did your children get to Russia, also on a truck? I answered a little aggressively, got angry: “Are you going to help or are you just interested ?!” To which the director replied: “Well, why do you immediately respond aggressively – my husband also came from Afghanistan to Russia in a truck. We are ready to accept your children.”
And really accepted them to the school. Next should be a story about how children learn remarkably, what brilliant abilities they have in various subjects, how they now graduate from school ahead of schedule with a medal or have already been nominated for the Nobel Prize. But there will be no such story.
And this is a very important point, which I want to say separately. When we help get kids into school, a fairy tale success story doesn’t follow. Then the usual work begins. These are ordinary children – with their own difficulties, with their achievements, with their own preferences. They just started learning – nothing else happened. And here the story of this family is also indicative, because in ordinary everyday life, after some time, it turns out that someone is good in mathematics, someone is bad in Russian. It is important to get used to the idea that after the milestone is passed and the children are taken to school, there will be no fairy tale. Moreover, some children may not want to study, play truant, receive reprimands for their behavior. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t have to go to school! Vice versa! You must definitely study, you must be like everyone else – in a good, in the best sense of the word. You just need to drive away the thought that since the children are at school, now they have something, which means that everything will definitely be fine. The fact that they went to school does not mean anything at all, but it is very important that they go there. We didn’t save anyone, we did what was necessary, period.
All the children of this large family go to the same school. And at the same time, one child turned out to be very capable, literally in all subjects. Two are learning. And the fourth turned out to have huge behavioral problems, just a thunderstorm of teachers. It turned out that he is incredibly talented in football. He was forced to study, he refused. (I also can’t say that we weren’t upset at this place: we made so much effort to get him into school, but he doesn’t want to study! And here I always try to remind myself that I seemed to think I was a god, as if I I know how a person is better, although in fact I can’t know this. ) The story about football became a revelation, and as a result, he was even accepted into some kind of youth team.
We have a landmark in the committee – this is Svetlana Alekseevna Gannushkina, the head of the committee, its ideologist and founder. She is, of course, in many ways the person we all look to. And when we take on the case of some person, let’s say a refugee, about whom we know for sure that he is not a very good person and has committed a lot of bad deeds, she says: “It is more difficult to help such people, but it is very important.” There is a lot in this of some kind of ancient Christian acceptance, unalloyed. And I was very imbued with these words when I heard them from her for the first time.
About burnout, friendship with applicants and talking to children about work
How to avoid burnout at work? I don’t really know the answer, because I’m… on fire! ( Laughs. ) Probably, there are several important aspects that allow you to experience all this over and over again. The Civic Assistance Committee works with both Russians and people from other countries.
When a person who does not speak Russian comes to me, in the presence of an interpreter, I explain to him what I will do in order to help the child get to school or kindergarten, how exactly I will do it, I receive from him a power of attorney to carry out manipulations, and then this person is completely eliminated from the process, because due to the language barrier, he still does not understand what is happening.
As a result, on the one hand, I distance myself a little from the applicant or the family, and on the other hand, I will immediately make a reservation, I don’t want to sound pompous, but as it is, I seem to be taking care of my child. I know his history, I know his problem, I know that no one else will deal with him but me, so this incredibly shortens the distance between us. It’s like my own child with his problems, seriously.
I work as a carpenter: I build houses, log cabins, I restore temples
Then, when this child finally gets to school, I usually end up on the parent committee, I am added to the class or school parent chat . .. This is due to the fact that the family often cannot communicate in Russian at the level required.
I am often asked how I manage not to be nervous before court hearings, how to keep my cool during the trial… And here again there is no answer, because I am nervous, and I am terribly nervous every time! I can’t perceive the processes in a detached way, because behind them are real people who are important to me. And every loss I experience as a personal problem, long and hard. I know that people are counting on me, waiting for help. And it’s not like they had anyone else they could trust.
So we, the lawyers of Civic Assistance, are usually friends with families. And that’s the beauty of being on a committee for me. I’m not just a lawyer. I am a person who can be called, who can be consulted. Such is the helping hand in an unfamiliar country, I am their guide. Our team – from lawyers to social workers – is somehow always next to the wards of the committee, such an unspoken rule, although, of course, no one forces you to invest and give all the best. But the atmosphere in our work is such that employees are selected with a similar worldview.
Often I hear that this is a big emotional burden, but in fact I am emotionally relatively comfortable – I have my own three children. I feel like some kind of … chicken-mother! And I love that feeling! My children know what I do, they are interested. Sometimes they even go to court with me. There was a very funny situation when a son in a kindergarten was asked who his mother was working for, and he answered: “Mom helps people whose houses have exploded!” It seems to me that this is a good definition of the word “refugee” from a four-year-old, but in the kindergarten they did not share my opinion, alas – they called me there and said that the child had some problems with his head, he was talking nonsense! And yet it is not bad, because teachers and educators gradually find out what I do and begin to seek advice on their problems and aspirations. We also help fired teachers in solving problems – once, for example, we advised the director who was fired.
“It’s okay to not be able to”: a meditation coach on how it helps in life
Cycle of goodness in nature
What is it like to defend people’s rights in Russia? With the same rallies, of which there have been many again recently, I tried to help those who were detained to the best of my ability. Moreover, both in the courts and in the police, everyone absolutely understands (and some even share!) What we say to them. Some say in plain text: “We would let you go at all, if it were our will!” And here, of course, the question arises: “And whose will is this?” Okay, we understand everything.
But there is also a very important, good trend. Why do we need a state at all? This is a mechanism that helps different people who belong to this state to exist in it. Now it turns out that the mechanism does not work very well. But any society needs regulatory mechanisms, any society must be regulated somehow. At that moment, when the state ceases to cope with the functions of regulation for some reason, the process of self-regulation suddenly begins. Some crazy number of volunteers appear, civil society is forming quickly. And people learn to act for themselves and “for that guy” somehow, to defend common interests. And it’s so great! In fact, what does not work from above, does not work as prescribed at the national level, suddenly begins to work with tripled strength in another place, but pursuing the same interests. During the pandemic, our refugees suddenly received support that they had probably never received before. We were brought food for them, bought things, a huge number of people called the committee with the question: “How can I help right now?” And this is taking into account the fact that it was so hard for everyone at the beginning of the pandemic. But there were forces to help others. This is indifference.
We have happy stories with adults. Just yesterday, a man called whom we helped a year ago. He had a lot of different problems. And now he calls to tell that he bought an apartment on a mortgage, in this apartment he is ready to equip a bed and provide it free of charge to one of those who now need help. This is some kind of cycle of goodness in nature. This is probably the best, most important thing. This is the pivot point.
Will you change line with me?
For a month, readers of the Vperyod newspaper on the website www.bataysk-gorod.ru asked their questions to Lyudmila Berlim, head of the Department of Education. Bataychan was interested in how you can arrange your child in a kindergarten, why there are not enough educators, where to go to study, how to become the best student of the year. Queues and crossings
What if the child is on the waiting list for a kindergarten in a certain area, and the family changes their place of residence. How is this decided by law?
– In Bataysk, there is no separate queue for a specific kindergarten. There is a single city queue. Information about which kindergarten parents plan to send their child to is necessary in order to satisfy the wishes of the family as much as possible. If your child does not attend kindergarten yet and is registered in the database of future pupils of the preschool educational institution, then on reception days (Monday, Wednesday from 9.00 to 13.00 and Thursday from 15.00 to 18.00) you can call the recruitment commission of the Department of Education at 6-31-20 and tell you that you have moved, and in this regard, give new information about the child.
If your child is already attending a preschool and you have moved to another area of the city, you can also contact the head of your preschool educational institution and write an application for transferring the child to another kindergarten. Your application will be reviewed by the acquisition committee and, if possible, satisfied.
Tell me, please, this year we are planning to come to Bataysk, now the child is 2 years old, he is on the waiting list for kindergarten in Rostov (Voroshilovsky district) for 2013 at kindergarten No. 15. Will I have to re-join the queue after moving in Bataysk or can I change the queue?
– Despite the fact that the queue for kindergartens in each city of the Rostov region is separate, in your situation there are the following options for resolving the issue: if you find those who want to exchange a queue with you in Bataysk for a queue in the Voroshilovsky district of Rostov-on-Don, the recruitment commission will not object and will assist in this. We also recommend that you already now, before moving, register your child in the citywide queue for a place in the Bataysk kindergarten. It is not forbidden to be registered in two queues at once. Personnel issue
Why in kindergarten “Lebedushka” in groups of one teacher? This has been going on for weeks, even months. Due to the fact that there is no replacement, educators do not go on sick leave, but go to work. At whose expense are streamers made about the 75th anniversary of the region and the like, why are they in kindergarten?
– In fact, in the city, as well as in the country as a whole, there are problems with teaching staff, including with the staffing of preschool educational institutions. To date, 32 vacancies for educators have been opened in Bataysk preschool institutions. The Department of Education, together with the heads of educational institutions, is actively working with the employment center, organizing job fairs to solve this problem. We will be glad if new, active, creative people who love children come to work in the kindergarten. We are waiting for everyone.
In addition, during the summer period, teachers go on vacation so as not to disrupt the educational process during the school year. Therefore, educators have to work in groups all day. As for the illness of employees, here everyone has the right to go on sick leave and be treated. Nobody restricts him in these rights, the personnel issue at the time of illness of the employee is decided by the head of the institution.
Visual campaigning, banners, advertising signs, etc. in preschool institutions are necessary to inform you, parents, residents of the microdistrict, as well as instilling an aesthetic taste and developing the curiosity of our pupils. They are purchased at the expense of funds earned by the preschool institution in additional education, voluntary donations from sponsoring organizations and sponsors. Top student and new school
Tell us on what basis children are selected for the Student of the Year competition. My brother moved to the 10th grade, he studies well, goes in for sports, does not smoke, does not drink, everyone respects him at school, he goes to the Olympics. Not a round A student, but a stable good student. Does he have a chance?
– The Student of the Year competition has been held in Bataysk for 5 years. According to the Regulations on the competition, the school stage of the “Student of the Year” is held first. At the school stage, the candidate is nominated by the classroom team, the school administration, or there may be self-nomination. The winner of the school stage represents his educational institution by participating in the city competition. Your brother has a real chance to participate in the school stage “Student of the Year – 2013” and compete for victory among other candidates on a competitive basis.
A new school No. 8 (in Aviagorodok) is opening in our district, and agitation is already beginning, they say, go to study at this school, it will be good, and so on. And they even say that it seems like you need to enroll in school right now. My son is 4 years old. Tell me, do I really need to register in advance at one of the schools? And what will happen at school number 8?
– There are rules for the admission of citizens to the municipal educational institution of the city of Bataysk. They are developed in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education”, the Model Regulations on an educational institution, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 19.03.2001, No. 196. According to these rules, applications from parents (legal representatives) are accepted upon reaching the age of 6.5 years from March 10 to July 31 of the current year by a general education institution serving the microdistrict of residence of a citizen.
The teaching staff and administration of MBOU OSOSh No. 1 (since 08/01/12 – MBOU SOSH No. 8) are working on the development of an educational program for the institution, where one of the directions is the creation of cadet classes. Need more comfort
We go to kindergarten No. 148. We handed in a fee, they looked like a “work off”. All these are trifles, all for children. We hoped that the group for the little ones would be cozy. Let there be good wallpaper, curtains, tables in it, but the multi-tiered beds came out unsuccessful. The child on the bottom bunk will lie very close to the floor. In other groups, the gap between the floor and the first tier of the bed is much larger. The walking area is fenced with a picket fence, but inside the metal poles are not painted. This is clearly visible if you go inside the playground for kids. The toilet room also needs to be improved…
– Last year, a major overhaul was carried out in the early age group of MB Preschool No. 148: the heating system risers were replaced, euro windows were installed, interior doors were replaced, new linoleum was laid in the group and locker rooms, modern light-colored matting was glued, the ceiling was repaired. A campaign has been launched to replace children’s furniture: a play wall, tables and chairs have been replaced. Plans to replace the wardrobes for children’s clothes. Taking into account the specifics of kindergarten groups (lack of bedrooms), in the early age group, as in all other groups, standard industrial three-level beds are installed that comply with GOSTs and are allowed by SanPin 2.4.1.2660-10. The restroom has been refurbished. The overhaul of the bathroom is planned for this academic year, subject to the availability of funds.
Equipping the group with modern didactic games, teaching aids, toys will be updated and replenished during the school year.
The walking area of the early age group is separated by a wooden fence, which was purchased and installed last year. Despite the fact that the repair week at the preschool educational institution has been completed, preparations for the new academic year continue. All painting work on the territory of the kindergarten, including the fence on the area of the early age group, is scheduled for July 20, 2012. Note: During the preparation of the material for publication, the editorial office of the Vperyod newspaper received a letter from employees of kindergarten No. 148, who were outraged by the unfair assessment of the young age group.
– In 2011, a major overhaul was made in the group: 2 euro windows were installed, 3 interior doors were replaced, new linoleum was sent in the group room and in the locker room, the ceiling was repaired, new curtains were sewn, new chairs and tables were purchased in accordance with the height indicators of children.
Since the early age group is visited by very young children (born in 2010), the walking area in all kindergartens must be enclosed with a fence. In July last year, the administration of the MB preschool educational institution replaced the old fence with a new wooden fence, the shape and color scheme of the children’s fence (light, pastel colors) was thought out. Children, parents and employees were delighted with this purchase. As for the safety of the fence, all requirements are met.

5. Grandmother’s hands
I am friends with my grandmother for a long time. She is in all undertakings Together with me.
I don’t know boredom with her, And I love everything about her. But grandmother’s hands I love everything the most.
Oh, how many hands these create wonderful things! Patching, knitting, marking, Everyone is making something.
Foams are smeared so thickly, Poppy seeds are sprinkled so thickly, Steps are rubbed so roughly, They caress so tenderly.
Agile – look,
Ready for day-to-day They dance in the trough, Sneak through the pantry.
Evening will come – shadows Weave on the wall And fairy tales-dreams Tell me.
At bedtime, the night lamp will light up – And then they will suddenly fall silent. There are no smarter ones in the world And there are no kinder hands.

Why do they tell me that a grandmother is an old woman, She is so good, she is my friend. Not to see the gray hair, curls like a doll’s curly, And not to see wrinkles, only … when the eyes laugh. And she is always a fashionista, there are not many of them, She cooks delicious food for everyone, but she keeps a strict diet. In general, she is a grandmother, only for those who are aging themselves, No, my … – a fact, everything is getting younger every day.

8. Hands that are softer than snow
And grandmother’s hands smell of bread. And grandmother’s hands are softer than snow, After all, grandmother’s hands are like snowflakes – Worn hands, all wrinkled. But grandmother’s hands can do everything, And grandmother’s hands warm with caress. And grandmother’s hands are mothers’ hands: They raised our parents! … And that’s why softer than snow Those hands that smell like bread.

9. My grandmother
My grandmother is with me, And that means that I am the head of the house, I can open cupboards, Water the flowers with kefir, Play football with a pillow And clean the floor with a towel. May I eat cake with my hands, Slam the door on purpose! But it won’t work with mom. I already checked.

10. Grandmother
I will dispel your sadness, I will collect a bouquet of flowers, I will do my best, Write a few words, About the early blue dawn, About the spring nightingale, I will dispel your sadness, But it is not clear to me – Why I stayed at home, Does your heart hurt with pain? From the wall to the threshold The path is broken by anxiety. .. And the bouquet of flowers will wither – Flowers do not live in the house… I will dispel your sadness – Will you become happy?

11. Grandma and I are very good friends
Grandma and I are very good friends. We help each other. She … cooks dinner for me, I … eat everything for her. I take her by the hand. A passer-by will not always understand, Whether my grandmother is my granddaughter, Whether I am a child, after all. Who leads whom to Molochny? Who drags whom to “Toys”? We live as a strong family, We are friends with true friendship! Mom and dad say to us: – You are near from morning to night. Just go to bed early Grandma doesn’t want something. Doesn’t want to measure puddles And considers the sand dirty! As for the rest, we are very friendly, Despite our different ages.

And kiss each other hard And give each other a toy. My grandmother and I are very similar, I am Masha, and so is my grandmother. She’s not my old lady, She’s the best girlfriend in the world.

0019 Sometimes unprincipled, difficult, That grandmother’s sunny meekness Saves us like a warm ray in spring. She is hidden in a lullaby song, That drives away any fear of the night. She is in the arms of a precious heart, How many tears we have wiped away at times! She is in the favorite lines of a wise fairy tale, In a tasty lunch, fresh pies . .. In crisp snow on a hurrying sled And in the purest, brightest children’s dreams. She carries us with pure wings Into the adult world, full of fears and anxieties. But we know that holy love is with us Lives in the paths of the passed roads.

, no sleep – I’ll be waiting for my grandmother! Why didn’t you come, Maybe urgent business? Maybe she was tired, She lay down and fell ill? Who will give the sick pills, In addition to a kind neighbor? Maybe she needs help, She lives alone, doesn’t she? Everyone! Decided! I’ll run, I’ll help her myself! Suddenly, I hear: knock-knock-knock! It’s Granny knocking on the door! Hello, my dear, I will hug her, loving! Let the whole wide world know, That there are no relatives of granny!

80. Grandmother overslept
Our grandmother overslept. We crowd around the table, We can’t all sit down And we don’t know what to eat. Mom says in a whisper, Dad says in a whisper, He reproaches Mom in a whisper, That porridge is burning on the stove. I tiptoe out, I find my own shoe, I give myself my coat, I take my own hat. Knapsack falls, Door creaks. Hush! Our grandmother sleeps And doesn’t do everything for us Maybe the most First time!

a little bit bitter, what’s wrong with that. You will suffer a little, and the doctor will leave, You and I, grandmother, will play ball. Let’s run, grandmother, jump high, See how I jump, it’s so easy. Grandmother smiled: “What do I need a doctor for, I didn’t get sick, I’m just old, I’m just very old, my hair is gray, Somewhere I lost my young years. Somewhere beyond the huge, dark forests, Beyond the high mountain, beyond the deep river. People don’t know how to get there.” I say to my grandmother: “Remember this place! I’ll go there, I’ll swim, I’ll go, I’ll find your young years!

82. Do not give grandmothers…
Don’t give to grandmothers Knitting needles and balls, Woolen mittens, Shawls and handkerchiefs. Don’t give grandmothers Neither glasses nor a stick… Give grandmothers A hoop and a jump rope! Eskimo on a stick, Ball on a string, Film “Karate Lessons” And crayons in a box. an army of soldiers, at least one doll. And a telescope to boot – With a view of the moon! Whenever your grandmothers See gifts, So that grandmothers say: – How did you guess! For grandmothers to say: — What a holiday, really! – To be so happy, To rejuvenate.

I’ll kiss your hands, I’ll say thank you for the love, After all, without you, your smile, I can’t live in the world. Oh, my dear grandmother, You are my joy and warmth, How sweetly it fills my heart, Your humble soul! Your eyes are dearest of all, What they look straight, sincerely, So let this long one last, Your kindest look in the world. Live, dear granny, Live my good life, And if life is difficult, My hand is always with you.

84. Grandmothers
Let’s forgive tired carelessness of fathers and paroxysmal tenderness of mothers – they are simply not enough for children. Our Russia rests on grandmothers, and all of Russia in grandmothers, as in the turrets of its unweathered conscience. They are usually not taken care of, and yet they are always valuable, because there is no unemployment with grandmothers in a mysterious country. With forgivingly sad eyes they huddle in the corners of houses washing machines, rocking machines, machines that cry at night. A girl comes to any of them in a dream, who once at the dawn of galloped like a lost money, neither on an eagle nor on tails – on an edge. But the girl – she was lightly blown away, like a bare-legged thin deceit, and money with a grin in old age was thrust, as if in a pocket full of crumbs. And grandmothers, washing or cooking, when the longing for childhood takes them, fall into childhood, like strange rivers, which flow in reverse. The cities of Kitezhi are hidden under their glasses, and you look at a special angle – sways on your finger, like on a knight, a thimble, like a tiny helmet. Our age is cruel, it does not spoil its children. We are soft and sometimes rude but, fortunately, grandmothers walk on the earth as softly as if they were picking mushrooms. Witnesses of the world’s unreasonableness, they are among diapers and dishes, like the quietest lamps of reason, carry their gray heads. And – the eternal Arina Rodionovna – with carriages in the squares of the seed, snub-nosed hopes of our Motherland they push ahead of them. Being a grandmother is not an easy profession. They are sad – nothingness lies ahead, but Russia’s teeth are erupting again in the hands of her sad grandmothers.

85. The best of grandmothers
Only our grandmother has the best food, Only our own grandmother is always glad to see us. Only our grandmother can wait like that, Only our grandmother can forgive everything. Often without company, grandmother, alone We know that she is sitting sadly by the window, We often forget about her suffering, Now we have dates, then competitions. Forgive us, grandmother, this inattention, It’s just youth or unconsciousness. Know that you are worthy and significant for us The best of grandmothers, the most beloved!

“I get more than you, so take care of the children and the house”, or How to deal with family manipulation
Quite often I am asked questions about the distribution of responsibilities in the family. We have already talked about how to properly distribute the household load and how to teach relatives to respect your work. Today we will analyze with you family manipulation, which is associated with inequality in the distribution of responsibilities, and often this manipulation is combined with financial violence.
A typical picture
The women of our society are sacrificial. Many, when they get married and have children, take on an unreasonably large amount of work, even if no one asks or forces them to do so. For example, my client wakes up before everyone else, goes to cook breakfast, feeds the whole family, sends her husband to work, and sends her older child to school, and takes her younger child to kindergarten. Then she goes to work herself, returns before her husband and runs to take her offspring to various circles, in the evening she feeds the whole family. He gets up at night to the children if they cry, ask for a drink, get sick. The husband comes home from work in the evening and rests.
When I asked, “Why don’t you delegate?” the client replies: “My husband is tired, he works longer and earns more.” What do you see here with me? That’s right, victim syndrome. That is, a woman believes that a man can get tired at work and then must rest, because he works longer and earns more. In her opinion, the mother of the family has no right to get tired or, if she is tired, she must endure her fatigue, because … she works less and earns less.
Victim thinking errors
Let’s break them down. This woman works no less, because she plows in three shifts. And she will not be able to increase her income, because she has no chance to work somewhere else, she is already busy. And if suddenly the wife and mother begin to earn more, I doubt that she will be relieved of household duties.
“What to do? – ask. – I already asked him, and cried, and hysteria. Nothing helps”. Nothing helps, because you are asking from the role of a victim, from the role of one who agrees to injustice. In general, if a person is sacrificial, he will be surrounded by tyrants and manipulators. Together or one by one. Because the victim herself, by her behavior, unconsciously attracts tyrants to herself. Makes her feel like a victim. It becomes very convenient for another person to have such a lifesaver next to him, even if he is white and fluffy with others.
How to deal with this family manipulation?
1. Recognize that you are now the victim. And this role is already tired of you to hell! It is ineffective, it takes a lot of mental strength and health.
2. Decide for yourself that from now on you are leaving this role. I must say right away that in one moment, in one reading of an article or even in one visit to a psychologist, one hundred percent cannot get out of the role of a victim, because victimhood is formed under the influence of parents. And this is almost the basic personality settings. It is important to take at least small steps, to move a little in the given direction and not to go the distance, not to scold yourself for mistakes, to learn to understand your desires, declare them, value yourself and delegate household duties to other family members, calmly and confidently. Without begging and begging, without bribery. You can say something like this: “I did this and that today. Very tired. Please do this”, “Help me, I’m exhausted!”, “I’m very tired and I feel injustice. Let’s rethink our responsibilities.” You can even use positive manipulation: “You’re better at this.”
In my experience, well-written communication, well-reasoned requests, and a business-like approach to the issue sober up the interlocutor and make them listen. Unless, of course, in front of you is a psychopath with a lack of empathy.
3. From the point of view of psychology, analyze the approach that lies at the heart of this manipulation.
Why, if a person earns more, does he have the right not to fulfill his direct parental duties?
Household duties
For example, if a man earns more, he can use his money not only to cover the basic needs of the family (food, shelter, clothing), but also take care of his wife and child. For example, hire cleaning, order food in good cafes, and find an accompanying nanny for children. If for all of the above there is no money or it is a pity, then once again I strongly advise you to reconsider the responsibilities in the family and distribute them correctly. Otherwise it turns out the exploitation of man by man.
Parental responsibilities
No amount of money, clubs or teachers can compensate a child for mom or dad. Parents, whatever they may be, he needs equally. And if the offspring sees and hears that “daddy is resting”, that “he can’t play with you now”, two thoughts arise in his head:
– “I am rejected. Dad doesn’t need me. He chooses the couch instead of me.” – “Dad is resting, but mom is not, she does not get tired, she does something all the time, which means that I can exploit her endlessly.”
If a son observes this picture, later, as a result of such an experience, he may form the same attitude towards other women of his circle – sisters, girlfriends, wives, colleagues. And a girl, from childhood absorbing the sacrifice of her mother, having matured, in relations with men can fall into a victim, considering this a “female share”.

#1 Composition based on I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Before me is I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”. The author depicted on it the beauty of a summer garden in the autumn.
In the picture we see a wide spacious alley. The whole ground is strewn with golden-orange leaves. The trees stand naked, but in some places golden leaves are still preserved on thin and bare branches. It seems that they are about to come off and fall onto the path.
Aside there is a small bright pavilion where you can hide from bad weather. The gazebo is located on a hill, so to enter it, you need to climb the stairs. The windows are arched. The railings are decorated with beautiful ornaments.
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” is not a deserted landscape. Passers-by are walking along the alley. Some of them sit on benches and enjoy the last warm days, admire nature.
The artist depicted a cloudy sky with gaps. Clouds seem to portend that turbulent days will soon begin. The paints used by I. Brodsky are surprisingly delicate, with a pale tint.
I liked this picture, because the author conveyed the beauty of the summer garden very well, subtly and gracefully painted all the details of the picture. I want to get to the autumn alley, feel the freshness of the autumn air, share the joy.

#2 Composition-description based on the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by Brodsky
The painting by Isaak Izrailevich Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn” depicts golden autumn. The author was very fond of this time of year, so he has a lot of paintings depicting autumn landscapes. This painting is one of his best works.
The painting depicts the Summer Garden, which is located in the city of St. Petersburg. The author depicted him in the autumn season in order to convey all the beauty of Russian nature at this time of the year. Tall trees, planted in an even strip along the alley, seem to part in front of the viewer, leaving high up. They rush up straight into the autumn sky. The sky in the picture is already depicted in gray – blue tones. It was already frowning a little, preparing for the rain. But still the sun still pleases the guests of the park. Nature is tired and getting ready for bed.
In the painting, the author depicted late autumn. The trees have almost shed their dress, and some of the leaves have taken on a yellow-brown hue. The fallen leaves formed a beautiful carpet on the ground. It seems so airy that you want to fall into it. Fallen leaves also lie along the edges of the alley. Apparently the janitor has not had time to remove them yet. But from this, children walking in the park are only more fun. After all, they rustle so nicely under your feet. The author depicted people in the depth of the picture. There is also a woman walking slowly with a stroller and benches with vacationers. Probably, these are elderly people who came to enjoy the last sunny autumn days of this year. In the foreground of the picture, the author will depict a shadow from the trees. At first glance, this is an ordinary shadow. But if you look closely at these uncomplicated lines, these weaves of branches, you can immediately see how much the author has invested in this work of love for nature. He so clearly depicted each, even the thinnest branch, that it is even impossible to imagine how much time it took him to do such painstaking work. To the right of the picture is a small, old gazebo. Now it is empty, but if it rains, then you can hide from it in it.
Dry and sunny autumn depicted in the painting by I.I. Brodsky’s “Summer Park in Autumn” allows you to see all the beauty of this time of year. People of different ages are depicted in the picture. And it feels like life has stopped. Someone slowly walks forward along the alley, and someone quietly sits on a bench and enjoys the sounds of nature. In the picture, people are depicted very small in relation to the trees. Having depicted the trees as such giants, the author wanted to focus on the beauty of nature.

#3 Composition-description based on the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by Brodsky
Every person has a favorite time of the year, and places that you want to see again and again. Many representatives of painting love nature in autumn. So, I. A. Brodsky at one time gained fame thanks to the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”, capturing a clear warm day.
Unforgettable impressions remain in the soul of every person who has visited the alley of the Summer Garden in St. Petersburg at least once. The artist most accurately conveyed the atmosphere of this area in the autumn season.
An empty alley does not look lonely and dreary. Indeed, there are no people, birds, animals on it. However, it contains the generous gifts of autumn, reflecting the endless amber color. These are heaps of leaves scattered on the ground and hanging from the branches of every tree. A flat alley, accompanied by trees, goes far into the depths of the park. On the right is a friendly wooden gazebo, as if waiting for lovers to rest. To her, the author of the canvas depicted a staircase with a railing, which helps those who wish to climb inside. The alley is wide. Therefore, the distance of the benches on both sides of it is quite large. At that moment, the branches of the trees seemed to freeze due to the lack of wind. They lay on the ground in the form of bizarre intertwining patterns. I would like to slowly walk along the flat territory of the garden, greet the autumn rays of the sun, listen to the falling rare leaves, feel the aromas of foliage and enjoy complete silence.
The play of yellow and brown shades in the painting occupies almost the entire space. Only skies of light blue color cover the upper space, as if peeping through the yellowed crown of each tree.
The place described on the canvas by Joseph Alexandrovich Brodsky evokes tender feelings, despite the fact that winter is ahead of everyone. This day seems to be created for dreams, romantic meetings, making serious decisions. Warmth and tranquility emanates from the picture. Each viewer feels like a participant in this natural corner. The author of the work reverently, lovingly treats the landscapes of his native land. This is evidenced by how realistically the artist reflected the alley of the Summer Garden, known to the whole world, in his picture.

#4 Composition based on the painting by Isaak Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Autumn is a bright, but at the same time sad period. With its beauty, it attracts many artists. Many paintings on this subject are also dedicated to Brodsky. He became famous for his painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”.
Considering this work, it is difficult not to pay attention to the beauty of the garden depicted in late autumn. The sky is covered with clouds, but still the day is quite bright and very warm, nice. A large free alley is covered with yellow foliage. Not quite dressed, but already quite weathered bushes rise above the small figures of people strolling through the garden. Not a big empty gazebo is located to the side, attracting couples in love so that they can retire and calmly talk about everything in the world that disturbs their soul, their hearts.
In addition, it is striking that there are absolutely no people on the main plane of the picture. The artist gives a chance to see and appreciate nature that has not yet been touched by anyone. Explore the play of light and shadow. And further, in the depths of the picture, a crowd is depicted, consisting of many people. Where there is a mother with a baby in a stroller, who slowly walks along the path. Some elderly people, sitting on benches, enjoy the last warm days, while others admire the beauty of the surrounding nature, walking along the street. And there is really something to admire. The rays of the sun flicker on the branches of trees, and this leaves a stunning beautiful shadow pattern. The sun illuminates all nature.
It depicts a nice nice day in late autumn, which is filled with warmth and peace. There is no sadness from the understanding that the cold will come soon, it will be winter again, it will become uncomfortable again, and there is very little time left until this time. On the contrary, everyone rejoices and admires the last warm days.

#5 Composition based on the painting by Isaac Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Residents of St. Petersburg are probably familiar with this place. This is one of the alleys of the Summer Garden. The painting depicts a wide alley of an autumn garden. More precisely, the city park in autumn. This is the beginning of autumn, the so-called “Indian summer”. Warm, dry, cozy, smells like leaves. Some of them are already beginning to turn yellow and fall off, but have not completely flown around yet. And those that fell to the ground created a yellow carpet on it. The hands of the janitors have not yet reached them.
The picture looks like from the bottom up. Therefore, against the background of walking people, the trees seem to be giants, they seem to rest against the autumn sky, and the alley goes to infinity. The artist probably deliberately chose this angle for his painting in order to show both the thickness of the trunks and the height of centuries-old trees. To the right stands an unpainted wooden gazebo with a staircase and ornate railings. It can be sheltered from the rain. But on this day, no rain is expected. The sky is cloudless and high in autumn. The sun freely peeps through the rare crown of trees. It also warms the earth and all living things on it.
The alley is deserted, not many people walk in the park at this time. But some people still decided to spend their last fine days in nature. There are benches along the alley. People sit on them. They expose their faces to the warm rays of the sun, as if they are basking and bathing in them. The trees cast long shadows across the wide avenue. In the foreground, if you look closely, you can see a mother pushing a stroller with a child. Previously, strollers were not as bright as they are now. You have to look closely at the picture to see a gray carriage among the trees and their shadows. The second child in a brown jacket walks next to the stroller. There are two other children next to him.
The predominant colors in the picture are yellow, brown, orange.
No matter how beautiful and sunny it is, one feels a slight sadness for the past summer.

Many autumn paintings were also painted by the Russian artist Isaak Brodsky, one of them is the “summer garden in autumn”. Created by its author at 1928 years old and was able to convey all the subtlety of nature. All Brodsky’s creations differ from others in subtlety, elegance and clarity of images. He did not draw “riddles”, but created concrete impressions of reality, for example, this picture is the St. Petersburg Summer Garden in autumn.
Isaac Brodsky’s pensive autumn landscape is colored by the light rays of the no longer summer sun. To describe the richness of nature, the artist chose just a few colors, enhancing their sound with endless shades, the combination of which creates a volume of landscape content and an expressive perspective of the park alley.
The greatness of giant trees under the vast sky is emphasized by the patterned shadows of trees and the figures of faceless passers-by. A bright spot of a deserted arbor hints to the viewer about the approach of a long winter. The master’s brush wrote a beautiful “oil ode” on canvas, dedicated to the golden autumn.
Considering this work, it is difficult not to pay attention to the beauty of the garden depicted in late autumn. The sky is covered with clouds, but still the day is quite bright and very warm, nice. A large free alley is covered with yellow foliage. Not quite dressed, but already quite weathered bushes rise above the small figures of people strolling through the garden. Not a big empty gazebo is located to the side, attracting couples in love so that they can retire and calmly talk about everything in the world that disturbs their soul, their hearts.
In addition, it is striking that there are absolutely no people on the main plane of the picture. The artist gives a chance to see and appreciate nature that has not yet been touched by anyone. Explore the play of light and shadow. And further, in the depths of the picture, a crowd is depicted, consisting of many people. Where there is a mother with a baby in a stroller, who slowly walks along the path. Some elderly people, sitting on benches, enjoy the last warm days, while others admire the beauty of the surrounding nature, walking along the street. And there is really something to admire. The rays of the sun flicker on the branches of trees, and this leaves a stunning beautiful shadow pattern. The sun illuminates all nature.
It depicts a nice nice day in late autumn, which is filled with warmth and peace. There is no sadness from the understanding that the cold will come soon, it will be winter again, it will become uncomfortable again, and there is very little time left until this time. On the contrary, everyone rejoices and admires the last warm days.
Looking at this picture, one cannot but appreciate the beauty of the autumn garden. Even gloomy clouds do not spoil the landscape, which covered almost the entire sky and because of them the rays of the warm bright sun still break through. A wide alley is covered with yellow foliage, and semi-leaf trees stand on the sides. There was still a small part of the foliage on the branches, but with each gust of wind they become less and less.
People are walking, against the background of tall, thin, black tree trunks, their figures seem so small. Each branch is written to the smallest detail, and as if reaching for the gloomy sky, and their shadows fall on the ground, forming a kind of web. A small gazebo with arched windows stands on the right, and beckons couples in love to sit on the sidelines, and a small staircase with openwork railings goes up to it.
We can observe the play of light and autumn tones in the foreground. The artist depicted it as empty, deserted in order to appreciate the beauty of nature. The background is filled with people of different sexes and ages, warmly dressed to the will. For example, one of the first we see is a mother with a stroller, who, apparently, is slowly walking with her child. Older people sit on benches and enjoy the last warmth of the gentle sun. And some leisurely just stroll along the alley and admire the beautiful nature.
Everything sparkles from the illumination of the sun, despite the muted tones. Golden-yellow tones play with different reflections from the rays of the piercing sun. The author depicted a bright, sunny autumn day that fills the hearts of people with summer warmth. There is not a single hint of the coming cold and frost, on the contrary, the joy of warmth, albeit the latter, is shown. who was indifferent to autumn before, this picture will draw attention to a beautiful time and just make you fall in love with it. It is impossible to unanimously say whether this picture is joyful or sad, the author unanimously created both, which further fascinated the viewer’s eye.

#8: Letter to a friend about the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Hello, my dear friend.
How are you? How is mom, dad? Is your little sister already in first grade? Everything is fine. Recently I visited an art gallery with my parents, which presents reproductions of famous paintings. Most of all I remember the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by Brodsky. It depicts a park during a wonderful time – autumn. The painting is done in bright yellow tones. The trees have almost shed their leaves. But on some branches, dull yellow leaves are still visible.
There is a wooden gazebo in the park. Somewhere in the distance people are walking. A man sits on a bench, a woman walks with a stroller. The day is sunny and fine. This picture reminded me of those autumn days that you and I spent together. Do you remember how fallen leaves rustled under our feet, and we joyfully ran around the park? I hope that you will come to visit us again for the autumn holidays and we will go to the Summer Garden depicted in Brodsky’s painting. Then we can see all that picturesque beauty in reality.
See you soon! Your friend Vitalik.

#9 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Brodsky Isaak Izrailevich – Russian painter of the twentieth century. He was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR. Isaak Izrailevich also headed the Russian Academy of Arts. And all this is absolutely not in vain, because each of his works has its own individuality and originality, and his landscapes are among the best in comparison with the works of other Russian artists of the last century.
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” has now become one of my favorites, as it is filled with realism and the spirit of autumn. Looking at this canvas, you can feel the calmness of quiet autumn days. The picture is full of fresh shades and colors. The landscape is dominated by warm colors, the main one being yellow. Thanks to this, the picture conveys to us the warmth and comfort of the autumn season. There are no contrasts on the canvas, which is also important, there is a smooth transition from the yellow warm earth to the blue sky, it is expressed thanks to the horizon, which Isaac Izrailevich depicted in green.
In the foreground of the painting is a wide park alley, which is bounded on both sides by trees and strewn with golden leaves that have already fallen from the branches of these trees. All the plants depicted in this picture have almost completely thrown off their summer clothes and prepared for winter, from which we can conclude that the picture shows deep autumn, most likely the end of October or the beginning of November. But judging by how many people are walking in the park and how they are dressed, it can be said that the weather is still quite warm and pleasant outside.
Also in the picture we see a beautiful carved wooden arbor of light brown color, with a pointed roof, a small ladder with carved handrails leads to it, along which people can climb inside and enjoy the views of the autumn park.
In general, the picture left a good impression. The amazing autumn time is depicted on canvas very realistically, which is probably why it is so pleasing to the eye and warms the soul.

#10 Composition based on the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by Brodsky
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” was painted at the beginning of the 20th century. The alley depicted on it is located in the most beautiful place loved by many residents of St. Petersburg – the Summer Garden. Along the alley, age-old trees rise into the sky – giants, as if they rest against the clouds floating above them. The artist enthusiastically depicts one of the outgoing days of golden autumn. The autumn sun illuminates everything around with a golden tint. Most of the foliage has already crumbled from the trees, the crown has become almost transparent.
The composition of the central plan is empty and transparent, it seems to be filled with the freshness of autumn air. On the right side, beautifully illuminated by the sun’s rays, there is a wooden gazebo with carved railings. Carved arched windows give it airiness, with them it seems weightless. An empty gazebo creates a feeling of autumn loneliness, that the whole alley is about to become empty, the trees will completely shed their leaves, the autumn rains will replace the sun. But there is still time and the artist gives the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of golden autumn.
In the background, Brodsky depicts an alley stretching into the distance with park benches and resting people. The artist dressed people in insulated coats in order to emphasize all the coolness of late autumn. Some are depicted resting on a bench, others are slowly walking along the paths strewn with leaves. All this enlivens the picture gives it the features of realism.
The painting uses the characteristic colors of autumn, the play of light and shadow in yellow, brown and orange hues. All these combinations give a slightly cloudy look, but there is no complete feeling of sadness, since warm shades predominate.
While working on the painting, the artist used a special perspective, its view is depicted “from bottom to top”. This gives the viewer the feeling that he is looking at the picture not from the height of his own height, but from below, like a small child.
The picture is a reflection of children’s emotional perception, when the world around seems beautiful and mysterious. This picture carries mixed feelings of sadness and joy, evokes a feeling of peace, the inevitable arrival of frost.
This is one of Brodsky’s best works, in which he embodied an amazing and at the same time real image of nature.

#11 Composition based on the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by Brodsky
One of the talented artists Isaak Izrailevich Brodsky in 1928 presented to the public his new painting Summer Garden in autumn. A huge number of artists loved this time and showed the beauty in new and new colors. The variety of genres of Isaac Brodsky was truly unique.
In this picture we see a beautiful autumn time, which is filled with warmth and light. The canvas depicts an alley in St. Petersburg of mighty and strong trees. Some of them still have the last multi-colored leaves. This gives brightness to the picture. The sun’s rays playing reflect this huge trunks on a pedestrian road strewn like a carpet with red and yellow sheets. There is a slight coolness in this shade, and even the smell of these dry leaves. And a wooden gazebo located a little to the right of the trees does not attract anyone, because it is better to bask in the sun and take a walk than hide in the shade. Very competently, Brodsky uses light and shadow, creating the impression of some kind of mystery.
It can be seen that in the foreground the artist prefers nature, namely its untouchedness. There are no people here, but a little further away, Isaac Brodsky pays great attention to people who, enjoying the last warm days, have gathered on this alley. They are smiling and joyful. A woman with a baby in a stroller strolls leisurely along the alley. Children run and catch sunbeams and look at the sky with hope, trying to see the last migratory birds. The older generation, sitting comfortably on the benches, are talking about something anxiously, looking deep into the sky. The whole world and everyone around enjoy this beauty in simple lines.
The picture is filled with life, which, combined with this yellow sky with small clouds and bright colors, is a complete composition. It doesn’t even cross my mind that winter will soon begin and again cold, snowstorms and snow will come to this alley.

#12 Description of Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
I. I. Brodsky is an artist of revolutionary Russia. The main theme of his work was the reflection of the documentary and historical reality of the country at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to historical paintings, Brodsky painted portraits and landscapes.
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” enlightens precisely the theme of the urban landscape. It captures one of the alleys of the Summer Garden in St. Petersburg on a sunny autumn day. Centuries-old trees are depicted in the foreground, perhaps they are the same age as the Summer Garden itself. Their crowns have thinned enough, which gives the viewer the right to assume that the artist painted his canvas in late autumn. Among the trees you can see a gazebo decorated with carved railings. She seems to be hiding in the shade of majestic trees. Patterned shadows play on its roof, which makes the gazebo more hospitable. Fallen leaves cover the path of the alley with a thin carpet. The sun is merrily reflected in the golden leaves.
The central plan of the painting is permeated with air, transparent and fresh. The sky is soft blue, but you can already notice traces of bad weather in it, in the form of small frowning clouds. The path of the park is decorated with whimsical shadows of trees, which intertwine and form an intricate pattern.
People are depicted in the background of the canvas. Some of them are resting on a bench, some are just walking along the path of the alley. They are already dressed warmly enough. This suggests that, despite the fact that the day turned out to be sunny, the weather no longer pampers the residents of the city with its warmth. The people in the picture enliven the landscape, make it more sincere.
The main color of the painting is dark yellow. It is this color that permeates the entire image of the canvas. The artist seems to give us the opportunity to enjoy the farewell warm of the outgoing summer. After all, soon the cold will come and, along with the gazebo, the benches in the park will also be empty, and the last leaves will fly from the trees. Nature is tired, the artist conveys this feeling with the help of paints, they have a muted shade.
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” allows you to plunge into one of the autumn sunny days. It embodies a surprisingly truthful landscape image of the alley. When I look at her, I feel the fresh air of this amazingly beautiful day.

#13 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” landscapes.
One of his famous paintings is “Summer Garden in Autumn”. The painting depicts one of the parks of St. Petersburg – the Summer Garden. Despite the late autumn, the garden is very beautiful. Looking at the picture, we see a side alley of the park, on which tall, slender trees grow, reaching far into the sky. Apparently they have been around for many years. They have seen a lot in their lifetime. White clouds float across the sky and the rays of the sun break through them. Despite the fact that the sun is shining, it feels like the last warm days are already standing. The leaves on the trees turned yellow and many fell to the ground, the crowns of the trees are thinned.
On the right side of the picture we see a wooden gazebo, which can be reached by a small openwork ladder. In autumn you can hide from the rain in it, and in the summer – from the hot sun. In summer, adults rest in it and children frolic, but now there is no one here. It will soon rain, and the alley will be empty. But now we see people in the depths of the park. They decided to spend the last warm days in their favorite park. Some of them are sitting on a bench, some are walking along the alley. Women have leisurely conversations among themselves, and children play on the paths of the park. Despite the fact that people are depicted in the distance and it is difficult to see them, they play a large role in the picture. Without them, the park would seem abandoned and uncomfortable.
In the foreground, we see the shadows of tree trunks and branches that intertwine with each other, forming intricate patterns. If you take a closer look, we will see a mother pushing a stroller with a child. Very soon this child will grow up and will run in the park on the same warm autumn day. And now other children are walking next to the stroller. You have to look closely to see them.
The artist describes autumn lovingly using yellows, oranges and browns. Winter will come soon and the cold will come, but sadness is not felt. Everyone rejoices in the last warm days. The picture makes fall in love with autumn even those who were indifferent to it.

Autumn is considered to be the most beautiful and mysterious time. Each of us can perceive autumn differently, for some it is a time of sadness, because summer is over, a cold long winter lies ahead. And for someone opposite, autumn is a colorful, bright time of the year when you can dream and think about the future.
Look at this beautiful picture, it depicts such a calm, sunny day in a summer garden, but already in autumn. Most likely, late autumn is depicted, when the sun is still shining brightly, but has already settled high from us and not so friendly warms with its rays. There are still yellowed leaves on the trees. People walk along the long alleys of the garden and enjoy the last still warm rays of the sun. In such a wonderful garden, it is pleasant to spend time with your family, take a walk with children, ride a bike.
Just look at what a beautiful gazebo is located in the middle of the alley. In such a gazebo you can drink a cup of hot tea and spend a pleasant autumn evening talking with loved ones. Walking along this long alley is calm, measured. Here are the mothers walking with strollers, discussing something hotly. The kids run after each other, playing tag. And businesslike old men are sitting on the bench, lowering their glasses to the tip of their nose, and playing another game of chess. Old women walk along the alley and breathe fresh air, discussing their troubles.
Look at the sky, how beautiful it is in autumn. Slightly gray, but a bluish tint is still present. So, winter will soon come into its own. The artist depicted in this picture a real celebration of nature, namely autumn over summer, which has already gone for a long nine months. Autumn is truly a wonderful time. It has a lot of bright, unusual colors. Love autumn, it is beautiful, like any other time of the year. There is something truly special about every season of the year.

#15 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
In the painting by Isaac Brodsky we see a corner of a beautiful place, in St. Petersburg – the Summer Garden. A place of rest and walks for residents of the city in different eras. This amazing, in its beauty, park is good at any time of the year. The great poets Alexander Pushkin and Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Balmont and others walked here. Each of them sang the beauties of this urban garden with beautiful rhymes and poems. The virtuosos of the brush hurried after the masters of the word. Many of them left sketches with expressive corners of the man-made complex. Brodsky was in their ranks, he also painted a landscape where he depicted this garden.
He chose golden autumn as the main character of his work. She changes the world around her. Nature, as it were, is preparing for sleep and rest. In the picture, the foliage has almost flown from the branches. The trees look translucent and blend into the sky. Heavenly lambs slowly, thoughtfully swim in it. With a keen eye, from a height, they observe order on earth and in heaven. Clouds are different, like autumn weather. The wind drives numerous clouds across the sky. The sun will either hide behind the fog, or suddenly emerge and blind your eyes. The sun, which appeared for several hours, illuminated the trees, in the park, paths, shrubs and grass. Its rays warm brightly, but not hot, sunlight, as if pouring from the sky like a stream. On the side alley of the square, along the walking paths-alleys, giant trees that have seen a lot in their lifetime grow. Their crowns, tops, go into the gray-blue height of the sky.
The trunks are delicately thin and incredibly slender. They seem to frame the canvas, serve as its original frame. The work is well thought out and meticulous. Muted tones and shades are used. The picture is bright, but not pretentious. In the middle part of the canvas, as if creating the place of the compositional center, a miniature, weightless arbor is depicted. It seems that it is created from autumn air and fog. Windows in the form of arches give the appearance of a rich building for aristocrats and nobles of the past. Carved wooden railings are light and elegant.
The sun’s warm rays illuminate the roof of the veranda, and inside it seems hospitable, inviting you to come inside: sit and think about the transience of time. In the distance, on the alleys of the square, children and adults, young and old, walk, catching the last warm days. Some of them sat down to rest on the garden benches. Others simply roam the fallen colorful leaves. Listen to their whisper and rustle. Children play ball or just tag. A woman is pushing a stroller with a baby in front of her. Everyone admires the yellow, turning into orange-brown autumn leaves.
Walkers will collect and bring home huge bright bouquets of leaves and branches of mountain ash and viburnum. But lingering autumn rains will soon come, all the leaves will fall, and not only the paths, but the entire Summer Garden will be empty. But the picture does not cause sadness and despondency. After all, it will be possible to walk along the alleys of the garden both in snowy winter and in spring, with its first greenery and hot summer, when the trees of the garden will give coolness and shade.

#16 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Autumn is the most luxurious time of the year. She has always attracted a considerable number of artists who want to capture the graceful views of this time. Considering the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”, it is impossible not to note that Isaac Izrailevich Brodsky managed to masterfully convey the beauty of the summer garden in autumn. The landscape is interesting for its discreet, pale, delicate colors and blurry lines, thanks to which we can feel the calmness of this picture.
In the middle of the landscape there is a wide alley covered with a carpet of fallen leaves, along which mothers with strollers, old people and other passers-by are walking in the distance, enjoying the carelessness of an autumn day. Some of them are sitting on benches, watching the magnificence of this wonderful time of the year. And on the sides there are tall bare proud trees that have already lost their once magnificent outfit of leaves, but they still adorn the alley with their unchanging grandeur and silence. The sun pierces the alley with its warm rays.
We will not see sharp borders and lines in the picture. Most likely, the artist specifically uses blur, because autumn itself is not always clear: the weather can constantly change from sunny and calm to rainy and overcast. Autumn is a transitional season, flowing smoothly between hot sunny summers and frosty winters.
Looking at the picture, we do not feel our usual longing for the withering of nature and the gone warm days of summer. On the contrary, we have a great chance to admire the extraordinary beauty, perhaps, of the last days of golden autumn. In the autumn sky, light air clouds slowly move, as if foreshadowing the calm of nature, slowly leaving for a long fairy tale dream. Nature is not afraid of this dream, because for her it is only a couple of fleeting months, after which she will rise again in her splendor and will delight people with her flourishing. So the people depicted in the picture are in no hurry to take refuge in warm places, but happily go towards autumn, enjoying the freshness of the golden season.
The artist depicted the grandeur and calmness of autumn days in pleasant and modest colors, paying attention to the details of the picture, thanks to which we seem to be on the alley ourselves. Looking at the work of Isaac Brodsky, we feel peace from the light and warmth that pervades the picture. Autumn, indeed, cannot leave anyone indifferent to its beauty.

#18 Description of the painting by I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
In front of me is I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”. The author depicted on it the beauty of a summer garden in the autumn.
In the picture we see a wide spacious alley. The whole ground is strewn with golden-orange leaves. The trees stand naked, but in some places golden leaves are still preserved on thin and bare branches. It seems that they are about to come off and fall onto the path.
Aside there is a small bright pavilion where you can hide from bad weather. The gazebo is located on a hill, so to enter it, you need to climb the stairs. The windows are arched. The railings are decorated with beautiful ornaments.
The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” is not a deserted landscape. Passers-by are walking along the alley. Some of them sit on benches and enjoy the last warm days, admire nature.
The artist depicted a cloudy sky with gaps. Clouds seem to portend that turbulent days will soon begin. The paints used by I. Brodsky are surprisingly delicate, with a pale tint.
I liked this picture, because the author conveyed the beauty of the summer garden very well, subtly and gracefully painted all the details of the picture. I want to get to the autumn alley, feel the freshness of the autumn air, share the joy.

#19 Description of the painting by I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
The painting depicts the St. Petersburg Summer Garden in autumn. The viewer sees an alley that goes beyond the horizon. The sky is half-hidden by clouds, through which one can see almost summer azure. The trees throw up their half-naked black branches. Transparent dark shadows fall on the alley. And on shady spots, fallen leaves look even brighter. The central plan of the picture is transparent, permeated with air, and only in the distance are the trees gilded. The tree trunks are clearly defined as a “frame”, framing the picture. On the right side of the canvas, you can see a part of a white arbor, half-hidden by the edge of the canvas and trees. The gazebo stands on a hill, and a small openwork staircase leads to it. Arched windows and openwork railings give the building lightness and airiness. There is a feeling that the gazebo is just a product of the autumn cold air, a bunch of fog.
In the distance, closer to the horizon, you can see small figures of wandering people. People are dressed warmly enough, which further enhances the feeling of autumn cold.
The color scheme of the painting is not bright, the artist used mostly subdued, “autumn” tones. Thin dark trees, a grayish sky with glimpses of blue, yellowish-red foliage on the trees – everything speaks of the arrival of autumn. Surprisingly, the picture is cloudy, but does not give rise to a feeling of sadness. The autumn alley depicted by the artist is filled with amazing light, and there is a desire to walk along the fallen leaves, among thin tree trunks. The picture conveys to the viewer a sense of calm, the inevitability of autumn, the fatigue of nature, and at the same time you can feel the joyful energy. Obviously, this feeling is connected with the graphic quality of the canvas.
Graphic element prevails in the work. Surprisingly thin and accurate images of trees. Their crowns are translucent and seem to merge with the cloudy autumn sky. A white arbor is amazingly painted on the canvas. Its light forms seem to merge with the pattern of trees, emphasizing their elegance and shading the dark tone of the trunks. Thin dark shadows of trees fall on the ground, giving rise to a cobweb pattern. They partly repeat the silhouettes of trees, but look more curvaceous and whimsical.
The perspective from which this landscape was painted is interesting. Brodsky depicted objects on the canvas as if from the bottom up. So a child could see the autumn alley, but not an adult. And the combination of such an original perspective with a clear graphic image creates an unusually strong emotional impact on the viewer. It seems that the emotional feeling of childhood splashes into the world from the picture – when the world is beautiful, a little mysterious.
The painting is done in a realistic manner. The autumn alley is recognizable, the figures of walking people give the image a closeness to nature. The work of the artist makes an indelible impression on the viewer. Brodsky managed to show all the ambiguity of the charm of autumn. This is the light transparency of cold air, and the aching sadness of the falling leaves, and the glimpses of the sun through the clouds. It is impossible to say about this work whether it is joyful or sad. Probably, when contemplating it, both feelings mix in the soul …

#20 Composition-description based on the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by I. Brodsky . In front of us is the alley of the old park that goes into the distance. Autumn, as you can see, has already passed through its middle, the foliage has almost fallen from the trees, which lined up like silent giants along the edges of the alley.
On the right side of the alley is an open wooden gazebo. How pleasant it must have been to climb its steps on a bright summer day, sit on a bench and, hiding from the heat, watch the passers-by. ..
It is a quiet, windless day. Across the alley lay long bizarre shadows from the trees. The sun no longer rises high. It is not visible at all in the picture, it is guessed on the left side of the picture.
Those leaves that are still on the branches are not as bright as before. The riot of colors characteristic of the golden autumn is already behind us. A pale blue sky peeps through a veil of light translucent clouds. Gray colors begin to dominate the landscape, but by some miracle they do not create the impression of gloom and bad weather. On the contrary, the air seems to be covered with a feeling of calm joy.
The alley is not empty. In the distance, poorly distinguishable figures of walking people are visible. Children seem to be playing with dry fallen leaves, one of the adults is sitting on a bench, groups of people seem to be having conversations.
A little more time will pass, and the summer garden will be completely empty.

Autumn is the brightest and at the same time the saddest time. She attracts many artists with her landscapes. Brodsky Isaac Izrailevich also shone a lot of paintings in autumn. Famous Russian artist, author of the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”.
Looking at this picture, it is impossible not to notice the beauty of the summer garden already at the time of late autumn. Although the sky is slightly overcast, the day is very bright and even sunny. A wide spacious alley strewn with yellow leaves. Not quite naked, but already weather-beaten trees tower over small figures of people walking in the garden. A small lonely arbor stands aside, beckoning couples in love for solitude.
It is also impossible not to notice that the foreground of the picture is absolutely deserted. The author gives us the opportunity to admire nature that has not yet been touched by anyone. Look at the play of light and shadows. And deep into the picture you can see a lot of people. In the foreground, a mother with a baby in a stroller is clearly visible, which is slowly walking along the alley. Some people, probably of a more mature age, enjoy the last warmth while sitting on the benches, others admire nature while walking along the alley. And, indeed, there is something to admire. Around the trees and everywhere on earth, in the alley, everything is covered with autumn gilding. The rays of the sun play on the branches of the trees so whimsically that from this play on the earth there remains an amazingly beautiful pattern of shadows. Sunlight illuminates everything around.
The sunny, bright day of late autumn depicted in the picture fills the whole body with warmth and peace. There is no sadness from the realization of the impending cold weather, although the author painted already far late autumn. On the contrary, I. Brodsky showed the triumph of nature over the departed warmth of summer. Around everyone rejoices at the last warmth, sunlight, golden alley. This picture simply falls in love with autumn to everyone who was previously indifferent to it.

#22 Composition based on the painting by I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Beautiful autumn time, all the trees are in gold, this park is so beautiful at this time of the year! The sky is already slightly covered with clouds, autumn is felt, but these clouds will not be able to close the bright and dazzling sun, which heats as much as in summer. On the alley, yellowed leaves lie in heaps, they resemble golden coins. The trees are already half-naked, the wind pulls loose leaves from them. On a bright and sunny day, passers-by walk along a wide alley, someone sits on benches, a mother shakes her child in a stroller, and someone just walks and breathes fresh air.
In the foreground there is a beautiful and unusual gazebo with a winding staircase, now there is no one in it, it is probably already cold to sit here, but in the summer there were many visitors, here you can hide from the rain and from the scorching rays of the sun. She stands on the edge of the alley, without disturbing anyone, and with her unusual appearance beckons passers-by to visit her. People walking in the park are inside the alley, the foreground is empty. In front of the viewer, untouched nature, shadows of winding branches are visible on the ground, intertwining with each other like snakes. This play of shadows is skillfully captured by the artist.
The day depicted in the picture is calm, especially beautiful, the artist managed to capture on the canvas that special autumn time, which many writers and poets admired. When everything is in gold, it is still warm, there are no heavy rains, the sky is high and bright, there are no puddles on the ground in which the weeping sky is reflected, the sun warms almost like in summer, leaves have not fallen from the trees. People are in a good mood, the longing for summer has not yet come, everyone in the picture rejoices at the warmth. The artist paints a picture with special love, when you look at the canvas, you feel the love and admiration of the artist.
The main color of the picture is golden, it shimmers in the sun and you understand that there is a real golden autumn outside the window. The picture is so bright and original that I want to see not only its reproduction. She attracts the admiring glances of the viewer.

The golden grove dissuaded
Birch, cheerful language,
And the cranes, sadly flying,
No more regrets...
S. A. Yesenin
Isaak Izrailevich Brodsky (1883-1939) – an outstanding Russian artist. The painter worked in the workshop of I. E. Repin. Early in his studies, Brodsky developed an interest in landscape and portraiture. The painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”, painted in 1928, is one of the best works of the artist. The work is imbued with poetry, the artist managed to create a surprisingly subtle and truthful image of nature.
Isaak Brodsky played a significant role in the development of Russian art as a successor to the traditions of realism. Brodsky’s works are distinguished by the accuracy and clarity of images, the amazing capacity of the artistic form.
The painting depicts the St. Petersburg Summer Garden in autumn. The viewer sees an alley that goes beyond the horizon. The sky is half-hidden by clouds, through which one can see almost summer azure. The trees throw up their half-naked black branches. Transparent dark shadows fall on the alley. And on shady spots, fallen leaves look even brighter. The central plan of the picture is transparent, permeated with air, and only in the distance are the trees gilded. The tree trunks are clearly defined as a “frame”, framing the picture. On the right side of the canvas, you can see a part of a white arbor, half-hidden by the edge of the canvas and trees. The gazebo stands on a hill, and a small openwork staircase leads to it. Arched windows and openwork railings give the building lightness and airiness. There is a feeling that the gazebo is just a product of the autumn cold air, a bunch of fog.
In the distance, closer to the horizon, you can see small figures of wandering people. People are dressed warmly enough, which further enhances the feeling of autumn cold.
The color scheme of the painting is not bright, the artist used mostly subdued, “autumn” tones. Thin dark trees, a grayish sky with glimpses of blue, yellowish-red foliage on the trees – everything speaks of the arrival of autumn. Surprisingly, the picture is cloudy, but does not give rise to a feeling of sadness. The autumn alley depicted by the artist is filled with amazing light, and there is a desire to walk along the fallen leaves, among thin tree trunks. The picture conveys to the viewer a sense of calm, the inevitability of autumn, the fatigue of nature, and at the same time you can feel the joyful energy. Obviously, this feeling is connected with the graphic quality of the canvas.
Graphic element prevails in the work. Surprisingly thin and accurate images of trees. Their crowns are translucent and seem to merge with the cloudy autumn sky. A white arbor is amazingly painted on the canvas. Its light forms seem to merge with the pattern of trees, emphasizing their elegance and shading the dark tone of the trunks. Thin dark shadows of trees fall on the ground, giving rise to a cobweb pattern. They partly repeat the silhouettes of trees, but look more curvaceous and whimsical.
The perspective from which this landscape was painted is interesting. Brodsky depicted objects on the canvas as if from the bottom up. So a child could see the autumn alley, but not an adult. And the combination of such an original perspective with a clear graphic image creates an unusually strong emotional impact on the viewer. It seems that the emotional feeling of childhood splashes into the world from the picture – when the world is beautiful, a little mysterious.
The painting is done in a realistic manner. The autumn alley is recognizable, the figures of walking people give the image a closeness to nature. The work of the artist makes an indelible impression on the viewer. Brodsky managed to show all the ambiguity of the charm of autumn. This is the light transparency of cold air, and the aching sadness of the falling leaves, and the glimpses of the sun through the clouds. It is impossible to say about this work whether it is joyful or sad. Probably, when contemplating it, both feelings mix in the soul …

#24 Description of the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by I. Brodsky
I really liked it! The painting is called “Summer Garden in Autumn” and was painted by Isaac Brodsky.
This picture shows a sunny alley with majestic trees stretching far beyond the horizon. Refinedly and elegantly, Isaak Izralevich depicts almost transparent tree crowns. Tree branches create a light, airy lace. The golden leaves are reminiscent of well-groomed princess curls. The tree trunks stretching to the sky are graceful and slender. And the sky here is unusual – it would seem, covered with clouds, but the azure between them makes the picture sunny.
Thin lilac shadows on the ground from trunks create their own unique pattern. It bends beautifully, reproducing the bizarre outlines of trees. On the ground next to the shadow lie the leaves of the same trees, like gold coins. On the right side of the picture is a small white gazebo, which is hidden in the branches and leaves of trees and, it is probably very pleasant to spend time in it. The rays of the sun fall on its dark brown triangular roof, and it becomes more light and hospitable. The gazebo itself stands on a small hill and a small and neat staircase leads down. The frames of the gazebo windows are made in the form of an arch, and the fence consists of wooden poles that cross each other, forming a cross. The people depicted in this picture are going about their business – some are resting and sitting on benches that line the road. Others are just walking around. And the role of these people is by no means secondary. Without them, the Summer Garden would lose its charm, liveliness and realism. It is fascinating that the picture gives the impression that this alley was seen not by an adult from the height of his height, but by a very small child. And from this she becomes even more affectionate and innocent.

#25 Mini composition based on I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Late autumn. At the first glance at the picture, a long, wide alley catches the eye. All of it is flooded with sunlight. In the foreground, the alley is empty. Along the alley are old lindens. Their shadows are clearly visible on the ground. The trees have already shed their leaves, only bare graceful branches, rising high up, seem to touch the sky. High-high, they intertwine, turn into the finest lace. A little further, in the depths of the alley – people: adults and children. Some are talking about something, others are playing, but they all came to enjoy the last days of autumn.
Gray clouds float across the blue sky with sunlit gaps. To the right of the alley is an empty, lonely and nondescript gazebo. Carved railings decorate it and make it more visible. She hospitably awaits her visitors, whom she will shelter from any autumn weather. The colors are faded: mostly gray; there are also blue and ocher tones.
The sharp lines of the branches attract the most attention. They are depicted as if they were alive.

#26 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
When I look at I. I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”, I get a feeling of emptiness, melancholy and impending winter. Most likely this is one of the last warm autumn days. In the distance, people walk around in light clothes and enjoy them. Children and adults, young and old, this day brought everyone together today. Some of them sat down to rest. Others simply roam the colorful fallen leaves and perhaps collect a bouquet to bring home later. Children frolic, run. A woman walks with a stroller. Life goes smoothly. Everyone came to admire the rest of autumn. People give the picture liveliness and it seems that the viewer can be transported to them and also spend their time carefree.
One gets the impression that the sun is playing in the picture, the shadows on the ground form an interlacing and an interesting pattern, but the sky, apparently, is filled with clouds, and will soon become what St. Petersburg is famous for.
Walking in the Summer Garden – one of the main parks of St. Petersburg – is bliss. Walking along a wide alley, admiring the majestic golden trees, feeling the light autumn breeze and basking in the last warm sun, hearing the rustle of leaves under your feet and having a nice conversation with your companion, isn’t that a pleasure?
On the right you can see a wooden white arbor, in which the windows are in the form of arches, its carved wooden railings are light and elegant. The gazebo is definitely very popular among young people, because it is hidden among the trees and foliage, here you can stay, as it were, away from everyone else. Also along the edges of the alley there are many benches and it is not surprising that on such a day they are all busy.
The painting is predominantly done in warm shades – yellow, brown, orange, the artist plays on the contrast, because the background becomes less noticeable, the approaching cold is not felt as much, and all in order to emphasize the rest of the “gold” of autumn.
The picture carries a very interesting aftertaste of fading autumn, a barely perceptible moment of wonderful autumn nature, because usually you don’t have time to look back as a dark cold winter comes to replace it.

#27 Composition based on the painting by I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
It seems that it was summer quite recently, and the garden shimmered with a variety of bright summer colors. But now, walking with quiet steps, autumn has come, which has brought its coloring into nature. The beauty of autumn colors could not help but be noticed by the artist-painter Isaak Izrailevich Brodsky, who reflected this in his painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”.
When you look at the picture as a whole, you get the impression that it is covered with “gold”. All the trees, the gazebo, the benches, the path of the alley and even the people’s clothes are depicted in yellow, orange, brown shades. The leaves somewhere still hang on the branches of trees, and somewhere they have already crumbled to the ground, creating a slight rustle under the feet of people passing along the alley. Corresponding to the characteristic signs of autumn, the sky is depicted in the picture with a light gray haze. However, this is not a dull haze, but a cheerful, cheerful, like a transparent tulle that covered the blue sky. When you look at the sky, it begins to seem that it is about to turn blue, like on a clear summer day.
Somewhere in the distance the autumn sun shines, it is noticeable in the shadows from the trees, which creates the impression of a cobweb on the ground covered with fallen leaves, which, like a blanket, covered the earth from the autumn coolness. Of course, the sun is not as high as in summer, and it does not warm as warmly, but this does not spoil the mood of others. Despite the autumn weather, there are a sufficient number of people in the garden. Someone walks along the alley of the garden, and sits down to rest on a bench, while someone just walks by. But for some reason, the gazebo is shown empty. Either this is due to the autumn weather, because in the summer in the shade of the gazebo you can hide from the scorching summer sun, or the artist chose such a moment for the location of people in the garden.
Birds are not visible in the garden, apparently with the onset of cold weather they flew away to warmer climes. The whole image of the picture evokes some kind of calmness and peace, not only in nature, but also in the soul. Nature freezes and prepares for winter sleep, and we will wait in peace and with hope in our souls for the spring awakening of our garden.
Despite the monochromatic colors of autumn, the summer garden is beautiful even at this time of the year. You just need to learn to see the beauty of nature at any time of the year. After all, it’s not for nothing that they say “nature has no bad weather.”

#28 Composition based on I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” ” according to the plan
Let's write an essay according to the following plan:
1) Landscape.
2) The plot and composition.
3) Colors of autumn "Summer Garden".
4) The mood of the soul, created by the artist.
Isaak Brodsky is a famous landscape painter. His paintings of nature leave no one indifferent. One of them struck me with its realism and I want to talk about it. We are talking about the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” by I. Brodsky. The object of the artist’s image was a summer garden at an unusual time for him – autumn. The name of the picture itself already attracts: the garden is summer, but in autumn. Two seasons of the year are combined in a single line of Brodsky’s work.
In the center of the picture is an alley going into the distance. There are no clear lines of the road, and this creates the impression of depth in the picture. It seems spatial, you just want to look into it. The alley is located in the summer garden. Trees rise along the edges of the path. Their crowns are already half empty, the wind has dispelled their yellowed leaves. But some trees boast yellow-green foliage. Towards the end of the alley, they seem to be thicker, but this is just an illusion. Fallen leaves are scattered everywhere. They are pale, grayish-brown, already lost their former richness of color. It seems that the wind will spin them in an autumn waltz, which is about to sound.
Warm tones and shades of colors make the picture pleasant to look at. A small gazebo decorates the garden. Arched windows and thin railings make it light. It fits well into the autumn landscape. The endless sky here has a gray-blue hue. It is bright, not gloomy, not depressing, not suggestive of sadness. It seems that the sun has looked into this garden, soft shadows from tree trunks cross the path of the alley. People are sitting on the benches, which means that the weather has a leisurely pace for a walk, allowing you to talk with a friend or think alone.
I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” creates an autumn mood, but not sadness and despair, but a light feeling of passing summer and warm autumn beauty with its coolness and unusual colors. It gives only positive emotions and peace of mind.

#30 Composition. Description of the painting by I. I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
The famous Russian artist Isaac Brodsky worked in many artistic genres. Among the paintings on the autumn theme, the landscape “Summer Garden in Autumn” became widely known. The artist subtly conveys the mood of a warm sunny day in late autumn.
In front of us is an alley of the famous Summer Garden park in St. Petersburg. On the sides of a wide alley grow trees that look like large and powerful giants. Thanks to a bright sunny day, their trunks are reflected on the pedestrian road, as if in water, somewhat reminiscent of a cobweb. Here the artist skillfully applies the effect of the play of light and shadows.
Many trees are bare, only a few still have yellowed leaves. Around the alley are scattered fallen leaves, painted in yellow, orange, brown colors of autumn. The age of the trees coincides with the appearance of the Summer Garden. They seem to connect with the blue sky and the clouds, which also turned yellow from the sunlight.
There are many people in the park. They are all happy for such a sunny and warm day. A woman with a stroller walks with children along the alley. Older visitors sit on benches and talk. Those that are younger are enjoying themselves right along the alley, and admire the beauty of the autumn nature surrounding them.
People give life and naturalness to the picture. Looking at her, I so want to be among these visitors to the park. Sit on a bench, bask in the sun and look high into the sky, hoping to see birds flying by.
There are no people in the foreground of the picture, untouched nature is shown. To the right, near the trees, there is a solitary gazebo, it does not attract anyone at this time of the year.
Isaak Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” helps to forget that winter is ahead. It is all permeated with light, warmth, there is no sadness that all this will soon be replaced by cold weather. One wants to enjoy the warmth, maybe the last clear autumn day, pierced by the sun’s rays.

#31 Description of Brodsky’s painting Summer Garden in autumn
I already wrote about Brodsky’s painting Summer Garden in autumn in a letter to a friend when I first saw this work. Probably, many became interested in learning about Brodsky’s painting Summer Garden in the fall and where it is located. So, today I see a picture not for the first time. The first time I saw her was in an art gallery where an exhibition of famous artists was held. This picture immediately attracted attention, as here I saw familiar places. The picture took me to a beautiful garden of St. Petersburg, because the author depicted the Summer Garden in the picture, choosing the theme of autumn for work. For some reason, it is autumn that attracts many artists, and Brodsky is no exception. Apparently, artists love autumn, since this time of year, like the artists themselves, likes to paint the surrounding reality in different colors.
The picture, like the color palette that Brodsky depicted, is calm and at the same time, the people depicted walking in the garden make the picture come alive. If we make a description, then in the center we see an alley where people slowly walk around. Mostly mothers and parents with children. On this autumn day, there are also elderly people in the picture who are happy to enjoy the last warmth of autumn on this sunny day. On the left, the author depicted a gazebo. It is made of wood and it is probably good to hide here from the sultry and scorching rays of the sun, and in autumn the gazebo saves many from the rain.
Trees planted on both sides of the alley figuratively creating a living tunnel. The trees themselves already have yellow leaves, some leaves lie on the ground, which means that soon there will be cold weather and winter will come.
Speaking about my impression of Brodsky’s painting Summer Garden in autumn, it is ambiguous. In general, the picture itself pacifies, soothes, but the very theme chosen by the artist evokes sadness and, despite the fact that the picture depicts a sunny day, I understand that there are fewer and fewer such days in autumn, and you need to prepare for the cold, and I really don’t like them. So the picture causes me some kind of sadness, sadness and longing for the passing summer.

#32 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
In this picture, I. I. Brodsky can be traced to the naked eye with nostalgia for sunny summer days, for serene long walks of resting schoolchildren and just a warm wind that disperses green leaves on trees that are already beginning to change with yellow hues of the upcoming golden autumn and envelop the city with gray melancholy and slight melancholy.
Despite such a dreary time of the year, there are a lot of people in the garden, everyone is busy with their own business: children gather leaves there, someone just sits on a cozy bench and admires the beauty of the passing time, listening to the rustling of leaves under the feet of children and their parents .
Looking at this picture, there is a feeling of calm, peace, it seems that the world has stopped for a while, allowing thoughts to take over your consciousness and think about all philosophical issues, having determined for yourself what is really important and what should be corrected. It seems that autumn is a time of renewal, it is the beginning of something new.
In this park, everyone can be simple, measured, not in a hurry, but just enjoy the moment, walking and looking under their feet, dispersing the foliage with their boots.
Brodsky’s landscape is reminiscent of lines from Bunin’s poem “Falling Leaves”:
Yellow carved birches
Shine in blue azure,
Like towers, Christmas trees darken,
And between the maples they turn blue
Here and there in the foliage through
Clearances in the sky, that windows.
The forest smells of oak and pine,
During the summer it dried up from the sun,
And Autumn is a quiet widow
He enters his motley tower ...

#33 Composition-description based on I. Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
long ago created a beautiful painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”.
The basis of her writing was his incredible love for nature, for magnificent landscapes, for the playful colors of nature. In this picture, he depicted the usual city alley, which went far into the city. But, thanks to his skill, the landscape painter was able to convey all the grandeur of such, at first glance, an ordinary alley.
The picture looks so natural and realistic that sometimes you might think that this is a real photograph. Only it’s not like that at all.
Having studied every detail and trifle of the city alley, the artist transferred everything he saw to his creative canvas. He accurately depicted each tree, conveyed all the colors that reigned in the summer garden in autumn.
Looking at the picture, you can see every path, every crack that is present on the city alley. If you look closely, it seems that the picture is drawn at the very beginning of the alley, where there are still no places cluttered with shops and other ordinary things. Looking at the picture, I want to be transported there and enjoy the silence and the beauty that the golden alley is filled with.
On the one hand, we are greeted by a small gazebo, which is made of carved material. The gazebo seems to be hiding under the branches of mighty trees and invites everyone to retire and have a romantic meeting.
Turning my gaze over the area behind the pavilion, I see majestic trees towering on both sides of the alley. They are so large that when you raise your head up, it is impossible to see their tops. The rays of the sun cast the shadows of mighty trees on the path, and they seem to us beautiful patterns created by mother nature herself.
If you mentally continue walking along the depicted alley, then you can see the silhouettes of walking people in the distance, enjoying the incredible beauty of nature, inhaling the pure and fragrant smell of the surrounding trees and just relaxing from daily worries and troubles. I really like this picture – calm, sincere and beautiful.

#34 Composition: description of the painting by I. I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
The city walking park is depicted in Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”. A warm autumn day, a gazebo, people walking in the park in the distance, and thinning golden leaves on the trees shimmer closer to the sky. Golden autumn is the most beautiful time for walks in the park.
Artist Isaak Brodsky became famous as a remarkable portrait painter, author of genre scenes, large canvases depicting many people. But he also loved landscapes. In the film “Summer Garden in Autumn” he acts as a subtle lyricist, skillfully conveying the mood and beauty of nature.
The picture takes us to one of the most beloved parks in St. Petersburg — the Summer Garden, to one of its remote side alleys. Old powerful trees grow there, they are apparently many years old. Probably as much as the Summer Garden itself. One of the last days of golden autumn. The bright sun shines. The day is joyful, pleasant, warm. The foliage of the trees is yellow, but has already noticeably thinned out, so the crowns are translucent, but there are a lot of orange fallen leaves on the ground. Tall tree trunks rest against the azure sky, through which white clouds float. In the depths of the alley there are benches. We see tiny figurines of people who came to rest in the park, spend a sunny day here. They enliven the landscape, as if bringing it closer to us. We, too, could be among those who walk along the alley. In the foreground, the paintings intersect on the ground with a bizarre pattern of dark shadows of trunks and branches. This emphasizes the power with which the sun shines. Enhances the feeling of a sunny day.

#35 Letter to a friend
To save yourself and the world,
We need, without wasting years,
Forget all cults;
And enter
An infallible cult of nature.
V. D. Fedorov
Hello, my dear friend Anna!
Well, finally, autumn has come – the season that we both love so much. You are probably happy with the weather outside, happy with this golden rain of leaves, still warm days, freshness and transparency of the air. Do you remember how last autumn, walking in the autumn park, you recited your favorite lines from Pushkin:0003
Sad time! oh charm!
Your farewell beauty is pleasant to me -
I love the magnificent nature of wilting,
Forests clad in crimson and gold...
And I always remembered my favorite lines from Fet:
He showered the forest on his peaks,
The garden bared its brow
September died, and dahlias
The breath of the night burned ...
You know, I often remember our walks in the autumn park, our conversations, our spoken dreams. It was autumn that brought back memories of the days we spent together before you moved in. Quite recently, I happened to see a picture that simply shocked me, ”it seemed to me so consonant with my mood at the moment, which, however, often brings autumn to me. I think you would like this painting. It is called “Summer Garden in Autumn” by I. I. Brodsky.
In this painting, the artist depicted an autumn alley in the Summer Garden. Huge tall trees have practically lost all their golden attire – there are very few leaves left, and in the rays of the autumn sun they burn like precious ingots. The entire path of the alley is covered with fallen leaves, dotted with long shadows from trees. The autumn sky in the picture is bright, while still high. For him, the artist chose surprisingly delicate colors: blue, gray and pink.
The artist depicted in the background the paintings, somewhere in the depths, a lot of people sitting on the benches of the garden and walking along the alley. A lot of people came to enjoy the farewell beauty of nature before its long winter sleep. The peculiar beauty of the Summer Garden fascinates many.
In the right corner of the painting, the painter depicted a pavilion. It is wooden, light in color, with a railing and a ladder. Now it is completely empty, and on hot summer days people must have gathered there.
This picture made an indelible impression on me. She seemed to me a wonderful creation of a man who himself loves nature with all his heart, knows how to see its beauty and appreciate the state of blissful peace that it gives us. The transparency, tenderness of the colors of the picture seem to speak of the artist’s regret that these days will not last long, that the harsh time for all living things will soon come – Winter. If I may say so, this picture sounds like a farewell song to warm days, sun, warmth.
My dear Anna! I would like you to also get acquainted with this picture, with this miracle, which can only be described in the words of Tyutchev:
There is in the autumn of the original
A short but marvelous time -
The whole day stands as if crystal,
And radiant evenings ...
I hope to see you very soon, and I also hope that after my letter you will definitely look at this picture, and you will like it as much as I do. I’m waiting for a letter from you. See you soon. Your friend Victoria.

#36 Composition-letter based on the painting by I. I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Hello, Valya.
It’s good that we met in Leningrad in autumn. Do you remember a walk in the Summer Garden? The restless leaves spiraled above us and landed on the black wet asphalt. I look at Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn” and now … I am writing you a letter.
The same alley, the same sadness in the weeping trees, the same passers-by hurrying somewhere… The arbor looks like a small heavenly house where you can hide from sadness. It is enough to run up the stairs into it, slightly touching the railing. You probably remember how we hid in it from annoying wet drops and exchanged lines from a poem by our beloved Nikolai Rubtsov:0003
"The poplar leaves are flying away...
The inevitability was repeated in the world..."
But there is no rain on the canvas, there are few clouds, they are gray, and life does not look like an artistic image. It is brighter… So, Val… Write what you live, what you think about. Are you there? canvases, among which there is such a “Summer Garden in autumn”. The picture is striking, first of all, by the play of sunlight in the complete absence of sun. It is interesting that in the foreground the audience sees an empty alley. Brodsky, as it were, invites you to admire the beauty of the autumn landscape, the game lights and shadows
And there really is something to admire. Along the edges of the alley are strict giant trees. The foliage from them has almost flown around, only in some places there is still a little bit of a magnificent lace outfit left. But this is enough to make the trees in the distance seem to be dressed in gilding. Autumn gilding is visible everywhere, especially on the ground around the trees and on the alley itself. Sunlight plays in the branches so bizarrely that they leave an amazing pattern on the ground. The sun illuminates everything around. There is a lot of it, despite the fact that clouds and light clouds run across the sky. The bright sun illuminates the gazebo on the right side of the picture, and benches, and people walking and sitting in the distance.
Quiet sunny day in late autumn. But there is no sadness in the picture from the realization of the impending cold. On the contrary – I.I. Brodsky depicted the triumph of nature over withering. Around everything is happy with the sunlight, the last warmth. There are a lot of people walking in the alley. Here, mothers walk babies in strollers, old people relax on benches, children play with golden autumn foliage. So happy and peaceful around!

#38 Composition based on the painting by I. Brodsky “Summer Garden in Autumn”
Brodsky Isaac Izrailevich is a landscape painter whose paintings are full of sincere love for nature. Of all his paintings, I was most captivated by the canvas “Summer Garden in Autumn”, which depicts a city alley, going far, far beyond the horizon.
The picture looks very realistic, the artist accurately depicted every tree, every crack in the ground, benches on both sides of the alley, people walking somewhere in the distance, shadows that trees cast on the ground. It seems to me that this is literally a photographic picture that depicted one moment in the life of the citizens of St. Petersburg, who decided to relax in the Summer Garden and enjoy the last warm days that will soon recede before the onset of cold winter.
It seems to me that the artist specially painted the picture from the very beginning of the alley, where there are no shops or people yet. Thus, he invites me to mentally walk further along the alley, enjoying the beauty of golden autumn. At first I see in front of me a small gazebo with arched windows, to which a ladder leads. This gazebo is slightly hidden under the branches of trees and seems to be the perfect place for confidential conversations and romantic meetings. Further on, I seem to be walking along the path between the trees that guard it on both sides. They tower over the alley like gigantic guards, majestic in their golden garb of orange and yellow leaves. The shadows of the trees falling on the ground create a fabulous pattern on it, making the walk even more amazing.
A little further on you can already see people – mothers with prams, groups of friends, couples. I cannot make out each of the people depicted, but fantasy tells me everything that the artist tried to convey. I love this picture, painted in a calm, lifelike manner, without any bright colors or emotional outburst, which gives me a sense of belonging to it.

#39 Composition based on Brodsky’s painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”
One of the most beautiful paintings dedicated to the autumn golden season of the “eyes of charm” is by the remarkable landscape painter Isaac Brodsky.
A sunny autumn day in the Summer Garden is filled with a riot of magnificent colors, emphasizing the beauty of slender trees dressed in crimson and gold decoration. The artist caught and skillfully conveyed the very moment when autumn is especially beautiful – the sun is still shining brightly, the days are still warm, and the cold rains have not begun their procession. Most likely, this is the end of September – the beginning of October.
People are slowly walking along the spacious alley of the garden, going into the distance, enjoying the last warm days and the autumn gilding of the majestic trees. Some are sitting on a bench, breathing in the fresh heady air of autumn, some are walking along the alley covered with foliage. The artist betrayed the atmosphere of that time in detail and enlivened the picture with the presence of people. Therefore, the mood that the landscape conveys is not at all upbeat and joyful in autumn.
The splendor of autumn, masterfully rendered by the artist
On the right side of the picture there is a cozy wooden gazebo with a ladder, ready to shelter its guests at any moment in case of autumn rain. But on this warm day of rain, nothing portends – the sun is dazzlingly bright, and the clouds are light and floating into the distance.
Sunlight, entangled in golden foliage, reflects bizarre patterns to the ground.
It tests four distinct domains of language: listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Placement testing occurs all year for new students, and an annual reassessment is required for all English learners who have not yet been classified as English proficient.

Arizona homeschoolers do not have access to school-administered standardized tests; however, there are many private, nationally-normed, standardized testing options families can choose from.
”
Scaled scores across the state on AzMERIT tests have reflected this challenging format and the rigorous state standards. In fact, less than half of students statewide have met the “proficient” benchmark on these tests for the past four years. However, PHS students typically score above state averages in each testing area.
)
All other non-testing classes will be also held according to the above schedule.
The assessment is aligned to ELA and Math academic standards adopted in 2016. Each year, the state of Arizona publishes School Report Cards, which includes results from this assessment. Parent information about the statewide achievement tests can be found at https://www.azed.gov/assessment/parents.
The AzSCI is a computer-based assessment that allows for the use of a variety of innovative item types, all aligned to the Arizona Science Standards adopted in 2018. A sample test can be viewed here. 
The MSAA will be administered in the areas of ELA and Mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11. 
Students who have been placed into an English language learner program will also take the AZELLA reassessment once per year until they achieve proficiency. Students who have scored proficient on the AZELLA are then monitored for two years to help ensure success after their move into a mainstream classroom.

Students in grades 4 and 8 will take AIMS in science.
Items that require hand scoring are scored by trained scorers using the appropriate scoring rubric.
A student’s reading level is determined using the “Reading for Information” and “Reading for Literature” scoring categories of the AzMERIT English language arts assessment. More details about a student’s performance on these two areas can be found on the back of the family score report.
Students will have a chance to show their critical-thinking skills by applying concepts and showing deeper understanding of a topic.
Students who score in the “Proficient” or “Highly Proficient” range are likely to be ready for the next grade or course. Students who score in the “Partially Proficient” or “Minimally Proficient” range are likely to need support to be ready for the next grade or course. Each test has three or more scoring categories that describe the content in different parts of the test, which will be shown on the back of the family score report. There is a short paragraph that will describe the student’s understanding of the content in this scoring category based on his or her ability level.
The results from AzMERIT, AIMS, and ACT should be used along with all of this information to ensure your child is on track to succeed.
There is no need to create a login, just simply sign in as a guest at azmeritportal.org.
Enforce a “tech curfew” — no phones, tablets, video games or TV for 30 minutes prior to bedtime. This will help your child wind down and prepare to get a good night’s rest. 
In fact, it will be so different from AIMS that the state Board of Education is already proposing a “hold harmless” period so that schools and students won’t be judged if their grades suddenly drop sharply that first year.
“
And if they didn’t pass the first time, there were multiple opportunities to take any part again.
Hagstrom said he does not expect his staff to receive training from the state until January.
“However, until we have all of the technology parameters, we can’t make a final decision.”
For verification, a special set of tests is used. 
This type of testing is very important for software quality assurance, but it is usually remembered at the last moment and carried out autonomously after functional testing is completed, when the code is already ready for release. 
Key criteria are derived directly from project specifications, but testers are free to set their own testing procedures and targets. 
Performance management involves testing and tuning software to meet specific performance targets. Performance management is an earlier stage in the software development process that is designed to prevent and quickly resolve performance-related problems. 
Availability describes the amount of time an application runs in a healthy state without significant downtime. Resiliency describes how quickly an application recovers from a crash. 
Testing and development are rarely identical, so it’s important to validate your application in production using the Blue-Green or Early Deployment method. This will test the application in real-life conditions so that you can be sure that it will work properly when fully deployed. 
The goal is to understand how the application behaves in the real world. 
Kuanyshbekov: The pandemic has accelerated a longer digital transition. Mobile and contactless payments are already part of our daily lives. New technologies are expanding their presence in retail payments. The trend of “decentralized finance” is rapidly gaining momentum, which challenges traditional financial models. Decentralized finance makes traditional banking products more accessible, develops the advantages of cryptocurrencies and offers new tools for self-regulation of the financial market. This model increases the risks of financial market volatility, despite its technological effectiveness, infrastructure failures and hacks are frequent, and fraud is also quite common. 
Kuanyshbekov: The strategic goals of implementing CBDC in different countries may differ depending on local specifics. However, according to the BIS study, most countries set the following goals: diversification and sustainability of payment mechanisms, increase financial inclusion, increase the efficiency of cross-border payments, improve the security and privacy of payments, increase the sovereignty of monetary policy at the global level. 
Kuanyshbekov: Due to the high level of development of the banking and fintech services market, the chosen architectural solutions and the experimental nature of the project, it is more appropriate to talk about the requirements not for the banking system, but for a potential team for integrating banking mobile applications and backend- systems with a new digital tenge payment infrastructure, including the availability of resources and competencies not only for the development of MVP, but also for additional own R&D activities. 
Distributed ledger technology was chosen to implement the DT pilot project, including for reasons of security and privacy: this solution made it possible to manage anonymity, confidentiality and traceability of transactions. 
Kuanyshbekov: The issue of “digital flight” is being discussed in the international expert community. The term refers to the outflow of funds from commercial banks at an unprecedented speed and scale, including in the form of cross-border flows due to the potential advantages of the new currency. The advantages can be identified in three aspects: a high level of liquidity due to the feasibility of offline payments, as well as the asset backing of the NBK, rather than second-tier banks (STBs). From the point of view of accrual of interest, the digital tenge will not be attractive, since the NBK is not considering the possibility of receiving interest on digital tenge balances. Thus, in the absence of a percentage reward for a digital currency, the demand of economic agents for it will be based not on the possibility of more profitable placement of savings and current account funds, but on the choice of the most attractive means of payment in terms of efficiency and liquidity. 
The NBK may impose limits on possession and use, or may manage the distribution between different forms of money using interest rates and other regulatory restrictions to maintain balance and stability in the financial market. 
At the same time, changes in the structure of the money supply will be observed. The issue of DH based on the conversion of the non-cash form of tenge from the current account will lead to a decrease in the volume of current accounts due to an increase in the volume of DH. In the event that DH conversion occurs with the use of cash, the structure of the money supply will not change the size of current accounts, but there will be a reduction in cash in circulation. 
The issue of independence from the availability of an Internet connection is being worked out as part of the R&D sandbox for offline payments, and the analysis of available technological solutions is still underway – from quasi-offline solutions to systems of cryptographically secure “cold” wallets. 
The Feasibility Decision Model will take a holistic approach, considering these and other aspects comprehensively and carefully to reach a final decision. 
According to Gorelkin, artificial intelligence really determines the posts that the user may like, but the administration always has the opportunity to influence this issue.

AND IT’S FREE.”
The combo of school facts along with social/emotional content is outstanding.”
Each classroom has an intercom system installed as well, so the teachers are kept up to date with things happening outside without having to leave the children unattended. This is important especially in times of emergency when an adult must attend to the students at all times.
Different age levels have different activities in their days at Kid Academy and we would like for all of the students to be able to feel comfortable with the school environment.
We give children time to play outdoors and practice taking turns, sharing, and being kind to peers. Social interaction and outdoor play are all important in the social development of children. Their social skills are practiced by being in an environment with students of the same age, teaching them how to interact with others. There are plenty of chances to meet new friends and to build relationships among peers.
Parents play a unique role in the educational and social growth of the children, and we would love for them to be part of their child’s progress.
This helps the infants and toddlers to feel safe and comfortable within the premises of the classroom.
We are happy to help you and answer any questions that you may have about Kid Academy. 
Kid Academy gives your children the opportunity to practice all of the ideas that they have been taught in the classroom and explore their social environment.

). This gave a tremendous result and motivated the children to study. 
When we grow up, life gives us opportunities, but we simply don’t take on much, because there is no confidence inside that we can handle it. It is in early childhood, I think, that this state is formed, when we gain strength to step into the unknown. 
Often the family protects children from work and says: “Just study, we will do everything for you, come on, son, you will be a Nobel laureate, and mom will collect socks, cook food and clean everything up for you.” 
I have two sons – one is going to the first grade, so I will definitely enroll in the first grade, and the second son is in the 6th grade, that is, I am ready to take the 5th and 6th grades too. 
Among the many family models, a special place is occupied by families with adopted or adopted children. Families in which there are foster children and adoptive parents can only consist of foster children and adoptive parents, or foster children end up in a family where there are already natural children. Therefore, the psychological problems faced by foster families largely depend on what the structure (numerical and personal composition) of such a family is. 
Thus, the child continued to live in the family. The upbringing of an orphan has always been considered a charitable deed. In state institutions, children from impoverished noble families or children of the military were usually brought up. Orphanages for orphans appeared in Russia after 1917 years, in which children left without adult care were placed.

The question itself inspires elaboration.
Many parents don’t know when or which questions to ask kids. Setting aside time for a question of the day for kids can become a fun tradition that could be a conversation starter that gets your kids talking. These getting-to-know-you questions for kids can even take you into a deeper conversation.
Which is the worst?
Your response could either stimulate the discussion or kill it. It’s not always the wisest decision to give them the right answer; sometimes, they need to discover it themselves. If their response shocks you, try to respond calmly. By continuing the conversation, you could find out more details than scaring your kid into silence.
But, if you like to dig deeper, you may attempt a playful way and ask them some get-to-know-you questions for kids. These questions may help you engage in some profound conversations with your child, encouraging them to converse with you.
Where would you want it to be located, and what will you keep in it?
What’s your pick, and why?
What animals would you keep, and which ones wouldn’t you want?
What will you design?
What do you think?
What are a few things you’d teach that you think would help the school for the future?
” What’s your favorite metaphor for Jesus in the Bible?
If you aren’t sure what to ask, these get-to-know-you questions for kids can help you begin an exciting conversation that will keep your children engaged. They will give you a chance to know what your children like, what they want to do, and what they think about different aspects of life. So, grab a cup of coffee and have an interesting conversation with your child, and make your bond with them stronger.
What’s your favorite line from a movie?
If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it?
Imagine you discover a beautiful island where you decide to build a new society. What is the first rule you put in place? 
Even the shyest students can have fun with these questions (especially the sillier ones). This sets the whole class up for a fun, collaborative school year. 
For example:
Then, they must make the sound of that animal.
Whenever a student passes on a question, another student can “steal” the question by putting their chip in the middle of the circle and answering the question themselves.
With that in mind, they’re probably not interested in some of the sillier icebreaker activities we discussed for younger students (although the Marco Polo with icebreaker questions and Chip In games can easily be adapted to a high school setting if the students are willing).
So, how can you introduce icebreaker activities to a virtual classroom?
That slight separation could help encourage shyer students to participate more.
They can even play as a team and challenge other classmates to a math battle!
Beyond that, these are easy to imagine questions that are bound to loosen a kid up and make them open up to you. Feel free to answer some of these questions yourself to give the kid a better idea of what you want to hear from them.
Go ahead and ask to find out how much the kid loves his mom or is willing to share.
For this reason, it makes sense that questions about school will give you a lot of insight into a child. The questions below will not only help you know the kid better but will also tell you how much they enjoy their time in school and the kind of company they keep there.
Depending on the kid’s temperament, his age, and the kind of company he keeps, some kids prefer to skip the break, PE, and library periods. Between subjects and extracurriculars this question should tell you what aspect of the school is the most fun for the kid.
Asking what book was read would be the simple part, also ask them to tell you what they remember about the story that was read. Then ask what they learned from it to ensure that they exercise their cognitive abilities.
At the end of this, ask them to ask their classmates what they think he/she is a bully.
This will help you understand their home routines and how capable they are especially if they care for their pets themselves.
This will reveal some of the things they think of as important.
Give them plenty of time to explain exactly what they mean and as much as you can, try not to supply the words to them, let them come up with it themselves. The essence is to see how far their imaginations go and the values they have at their age.
Let’s face it, kids do not like people who discipline them. This question will tell you who the more disciplined parent is.
Whatever their answer is, test it by asking them to tell you a secret they know.
Full privacy policy and disclosure here. 
And after that, there’s a gradual decline in talking. Most people will talk 500 words per day by the age of 60. 
You might be able to fool them into talking to you if you catch them off guard with a humorous question and get them laughing.
It’s also a great method to urge kids to consider their future plans with this list of open-ended questions.
You can find out if they enjoy school, what their favorite subjects are, if they’re having difficulty with a subject, or if they’re intimidated in any way.
Don’t worry if you don’t know all of the answers; this is an opportunity to work on your problem-solving and social interaction abilities. You can conduct your own research and then join together to discuss your findings.
Listed below are a few examples:
So, before I offer you a list of my question ideas, let me give you some background on why these questions are so important.
Having a handy list of questions on hand may help the process go much more smoothly.
For example, if your child is having difficulty with a homework assignment, you can ask them what they’ve tried and what they think will work best.
They’re also used as “trap” questions, where there is only one correct answer.

| Card file (preparatory group) on the topic:
Each participant calls himself by name (if he wants, he can tell something about himself). 
Each question is addressed to a specific child, if he cannot answer himself, the group helps him. 
For example: What is your favorite game? How to play it? Favorite animal? Why? The most delicious food in the world? What do you dream about? etc. 
It all depends on the imagination and desire of the child. 
You can divide into two teams, while one team will depict the color (alternately or simultaneously), and the second will guess. 
The next wisher “doves” him. 
Communication in pairs takes place in a dialogue mode. For communication, interesting and relevant topics for children are offered: “My favorite animal”, “My happiest day last month”, etc. First, the communication situation is organized when both children sit facing each other, then one child sits on a chair, and the other stands near his chair (children change places), then the partners, sitting on a chair with their backs to each other, continue the conversation. In conclusion, the children are asked about the impression, the mood that arose in the process of communication: how did you like to communicate more, why? 
Alternatively, you can play intonation and discuss the dialogue of fairy-tale characters. 
At the teacher’s signal, the children take turns complimenting the child on the right. Compliments should not be repeated. A compliment is uttered with a smile, you need to look into the eyes of the child to whom it is intended. 
Then passes it to the child. He must change the essence of the object and “turn” it into something else. Then, when the children guess what it is, the item is passed to the next player. Thus, the object is passed in a circle. In total, 3-4 items are used (paper, ball, stick, piece of cloth, etc.). 
Close your eyes, inhale deeply: 
You are slowly descending. The kitten is chasing after you. And here you are. A warm kitten lies on your stomach, purring. Listen to him purr. Stroke it gently with your right hand. Now stroke it with your left hand. Stretch, open your eyes. Take the kitten in your hands. Affectionately. Sit down, make the kitten sit next to you. Pat him on the head. 
The arms hung helplessly along the body…” 
” 
” 
I will throw cones for you (the leader imitates the corresponding movement). You will catch them (the host shows what needs to be done) and squeeze them with force in your paws. Kids are playing. Host: “But the cubs are tired and drop their paws along the body – the paws are resting. And the mother bear again throws cones to the cubs … “. 
The facilitator recites the poem and shows the movements to it. 
” Children open their eyes, stand up slowly, stretch their arms forward, then raise them up, take them behind their heads and rise on their toes. Host: “Sweetly stretched, smiled at each other.” Children stand on their feet, put their hands down. 
The watch got tired, stopped, rested … Mom started the watch again, and it started ticking again. Children and the leader wave their hands, say: “Tick-tock.” 
” 
Each in the hands of one clothespin and candy wrappers, twisted into a “candy”. An adult accompanies actions with a clothespin by pronouncing a poetic text. Children repeat the text and movements after the leader. 
The calm melody of the lullaby helps to slow down the pulse, dilate blood vessels, streamline brain rhythms. 
Repeats several times until all children receive a gentle stroke from him: 
” 
Children repeat after him. 
Then he starts a lullaby: 
He walks between the beds, gently whispers the words “soothing” and strokes each child, thus relieving tension, calming the kids: ghouls cooing: 
Alexandrov “Grasshopper”. 
They are very angry, frowned, waving their arms, stepping on each other, about to fight… 
And now open your palms and you will see that the chick has taken off joyfully, smile at him and do not be sad, he will still fly to you. 
Spread your arms wide – wings, wider, smoothly … Well done! 
But it is not scary to be born an Ugly Duckling, it is important to want to be a swan. Everything beautiful someday comes true, you just need to really, really believe. Note. You need to complete the program when you feel that the children are excited, anxious, tired. You can 1-2 r. a week to recite before going to bed to calm music. 
The child should behave quietly, calmly play, draw. But sometimes you will have a “maybe” hour when the child is allowed to do everything: jump, scream, take mom’s outfits and dad’s tools, hug parents, hang on them, etc. 
“Straw” is selected. She stands in the center of the circle with her eyes closed. At the command of an adult: “Do not take your feet off the floor and fall back” – the participants in the game take turns touching the “straw”, and carefully supporting it, pass it to the next player. As a result, each insures the other, and the “straw” sways smoothly in the wind. 
.. who cries a lot … who has no friends”, etc. 
Congratulations to the winners. 
Animals walk past mirrors, jump, make faces – mirrors must accurately reflect the movements and facial expressions of animals. 
In fact, this is not entirely true. Yes, frankly, it is difficult to explain to a three-year-old child what meditation is. Therefore, the relaxation of preschool children requires a special look and approach. The main thing is to use it correctly and skillfully. 
The ability to relax allows you to eliminate anxiety, agitation, stiffness, restores strength, increases energy. 
Relax your cheeks. Then close your lips with a tube, inhale the air, drawing it in. The cheeks are retracted. Then relax your cheeks and lips. 
Slowly clench your right hand as tightly as possible into a fist. Feel how tense your right hand is. Then throw the “lemon” and relax your hand: 
Shakes. In order not to fall, you need to spread your legs wider and press them to the floor. Clasp your hands behind your back. The deck rocked – transfer the body weight to the right leg, press it to the floor (the right leg is tense, the left is relaxed, slightly bent at the knee, the toe touches the floor). Straighten up. Relax your leg. It swung in the other direction – to press the left leg to the floor. Straighten up! Inhale-exhale! 
Breathe out “Wow!” 
Sitting on the edge of the stream, they cleaned their feathers with their beaks, drank clean, cool water, splashed and again rose up. And now we will land in the most comfortable nest in a forest clearing. 
That’s why, on average, I feel like I’m 35 years old. Great age! 
When there is a lot of talk, more often, the work is not done. He said everything – why then do it? Everything is as clear as it will be. 🙂 
A person at every moment of his life time does exactly what he can and should do. You can’t rush to become smarter or wiser. Unless you would like to believe in yourself and start writing earlier. 
This criticism is humiliating and unfair. What will you do? 
I think that the more consciously a person lives, the more he accepts the world as it is, the more joy he experiences, the more happy he is. Only awareness and acceptance of the world does not come to everyone: sometimes anger, envy, aggression turn out to be stronger – and there is no place for happiness. 
Everything seems to be useful in creativity. I want to add the main thing to the computer, but there is not enough time for this. So I live … 
When everything is allowed, people leave our lives or move away. I don’t think that we will quarrel with a friend, rather, we will just become less likely to communicate. 
If you were given a million dollars, would you quit your job? 
Existence is when you live “immaturely”, according to patterns, programs and try to throw responsibility for yourself onto other people.

The game is played 4-5 times, after which everyone returns to their original places. 
So I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything like that, I’ll just smile wryly and, averting my eyes, will answer: 
Mom even has one. Official. Well, I’m not offended by this adult. They are all so…

In its activities, it relies on the Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the Charter of a preschool institution, and other legislative acts. She is engaged in the acquisition of groups by children in accordance with their age, their state of health, individual characteristics and requests of parents, selects personnel, supervises teachers and service personnel. In addition, the head is responsible for the rational use of budget allocations, as well as funds from other sources. Parents can contact the head for advice and make their own proposals for improving work with children, in particular, proposals for organizing additional services. Parents also have the right to demand from her that the team led by her provide the child with proper care, upbringing and education, protection and promotion of health – in accordance with the terms of the contract. 
The senior educator conducts extensive methodological work in the teaching staff: open classes for educators, seminars, individual and group consultations. In addition, he participates in working with parents: he prepares stands, folders dedicated to family education, etc. 
The main tasks of the activity of a speech therapist teacher are: timely detection of speech development disorders in pupils; determination of the level and nature of speech disorders; correction of sound pronunciation of preschoolers visiting a speech therapy center; correction of severe speech disorders of preschool children attending a speech therapy group; creation of a developing subject-spatial environment and conditions for successful corrective action; dissemination of special speech therapy knowledge among teachers and parents (legal representatives) of preschoolers. 
In addition, children, unlike adults, are very mobile and active, so they just need to periodically “let off steam”, and for this purpose, as well as for improving coordination of movements, physical education is suitable like nothing else. 
This develops a team spirit in kids during relay races and sports holidays. 
She creates conditions in the group for the successful implementation of the educational program and, in fact, implements it herself. Together with the music director and physical education teacher, she prepares holidays, entertainment and sports activities. Supervises the work of an assistant teacher. In addition, the teacher is working with parents on the upbringing of children in the family, involving them in active cooperation with the kindergarten. Coordinates with parents the preventive vaccinations of children planned in a preschool institution. 
Keeps a daily record of children absent due to illness, isolates sick children. In addition, the head nurse prepares children for medical examinations and participates in them herself, carries out weighing, anthropometric measurements of children. 
Prepares everything necessary for hardening and hygiene procedures. The nanny is also responsible for the cleanliness of the premises; twice a day she does a wet cleaning of the group. In accordance with the requirements of the SES, it sanitizes dishes and toys. Monitors the cleanliness of towels, changes them as they get dirty, helps the teacher in carrying out hygiene procedures with children. Once every 10 days, bed linen is changed. 
With educators, you can discuss some issues of education: what to do so that the child cleans up toys? what to do with the child while preparing for dinner? How to discuss a read work with a child? What questions should you ask your child while looking at the illustrations in the book? and others. The teacher-psychologist will consult about fears, whims, stubbornness in children. The speech therapist will suggest effective methods of speech correction. The assistant educator (junior educator) will answer questions regarding cultural and hygienic skills, the child’s appetite, explain when and how airing is carried out in the group. All employees of the kindergarten work in close contact with each other, creating the best conditions for the physical and mental life of the child. 
Thus, the working day of the head of the kindergarten can begin at 7, and at 8, and at 9 o’clock in the morning, and end, respectively, at 17 and 19 o’clock in the evening. Music director, physical education teacher and work according to the schedule, which depends on the number of groups they lead. The head nurse starts work at 9.00 to 17.00.

All of the teachers genuinely care about you and push you to succeed in and out of the classroom. Since CDS is an IB school, class sizes are small (no more than 18 students), enriching, and truly prepare you for college. CDS also offers a wide array of sports and has a strong arts program offered at every grade level, with music, theater, and visual art options for electives. Recently, CDS built a brand-new athletic complex and gymnasium accompanied by a weight room, and a new building is being built at the moment, expanding the Middle School/Upper School campus. The faculty and staff at CDS are incredibly welcoming and kind; once I forgot my lunch in the car and when a teacher noticed, they didn’t hesitate to buy me a lunch from FLIK (our dining service). Overall, I strongly recommend Carrollwood Day School for any family looking to enroll!… Read 104 reviews

I met amazing people and made friends I’ll keep forever. I also feel that Lutz Prep provided education that helped prepare me for more rigorous high school courses and set me on the right track.

My daughter attends her first year in Kindergarten and I could not ask for anything more from a public school. Coming from in home program I really did not know what to expect when I was registering her but as soon as I stepped foot on the property everything made perfect sense. The administration staff was so helpful and dedicated to making this experience smooth and comfortable as possible for me and my daughter. We both had anxiety but it was quickly put to ease with the staff’s answers and hospitality…. Read 4 reviews

We have had a great experience at this school. The teachers are wonderful, the technology is excellent and I love the small family-type environment. Wearing uniforms is a big plus for us & having Friday casual uniform day is fun. We love special events like the color fun run, Halloween trunk or treat, book sale, Kona ice every other Friday, Olympics & the Christmas music program. I love that the kids can celebrate holidays with holiday parties. We like the smaller classes and that all the teachers in the school know all the kids by their name. I love that he is learning Greek. Volunteer hours are difficult to achieve with working parents, but I know the hours are flexible & the school understands if we can’t achieve the hours. The large amount of homework has been rough for us, with trying to balance it along with sports, family events and just general relaxing and unwinding from a school day…. Read 5 reviews

g., in 2019, there were 10,654 licensed child care centers in California).
org
Data are available only for licensed facilities. Many families use license-exempt care, such as child care provided by relatives or friends.
High-quality ECE programs deliver consistent, developmentally sound, and emotionally supportive care and education (1, 3). This type of care before age 5 is associated with improved cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health, as well as increased school readiness, academic achievement, and earnings in adulthood (1, 2). Positive outcomes are particularly pronounced for children from low-income families, children of color, and those at risk for academic problems (1, 3, 4). A critically important ECE need for many families is child care; reliable child care can help families move out of poverty and achieve financial stability by enabling parents to work or pursue education and job training (2, 3). 
For example, costs for center-based infant care in California made up an estimated 18% of the median annual income for married couples and 56% for single parents in 2018 (2).

High-quality early care and education (ECE), in particular, can have positive and long-term impacts on children ranging from improved cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better health, educational attainment, and earnings later in life (1, 2). Without access to high-quality early learning opportunities, children can fall behind their peers, creating an academic achievement gap that has been shown to widen with age (1, 3). Leaders increasingly see investments in ECE as a way to reduce educational and health inequities by income and race/ethnicity (1, 4, 5). And research shows these investments pay off; for example, it is estimated that every $1 invested in high-quality preschool yields a return of up to $17 in social benefits (4). ECE also plays a critical role in family financial stability, as many parents need child care in order to work or go to school (4).
California was ranked the least affordable state for center-based infant care in the nation in 2018, and just 14% of the state’s eligible infants and toddlers have access to subsidized child care (2, 3). Although the state has made some progress, California’s ECE system remains underfunded and will need additional efforts and investments in order to build a comprehensive, high-quality system that is accessible and affordable to all, while ensuring a skilled and adequately compensated workforce (3, 4).

Despite the consequences of sanctions and the economic crisis, declining incomes and other problems, parents have become more active in sending their children to non-state schools and kindergartens. Why is this happening? How long will it last? And how did the crisis affect the cost of the school year? Read in our material. 
But this year, surprisingly, we are fixing a fairly good enrollment in the first classes. The number of students not only did not decrease, but even slightly increased. 
In general, in the North-West, the demand for teachers and workers of preschool education increased by 49.5% over the month, neighbors in the Central Federal District posted 39% of new vacancies. The top leaders in terms of demand for teachers and kindergarten workers included the Novgorod region (+179%), Komi (+148%) and Yakutia (+130%),” she explains. 
Petersburg historian and teacher Lev Lurie believes that the demand for private pre-university education is due to several reasons, including endless innovations such as the organization of “patriotism lessons” and flag-raising ceremonies in schools on Mondays. “The realm of widespread ideological monotony repels independently thinking teachers from the school. Although the main factor, of course, is the general crisis in education: we do not have enough decent schools of an average level, not specialized, namely secondary ones, where the main subjects of the program would be decently taught, where good teachers would work. Teachers’ salaries are meager; for many, working with children is a form of charity. Good micro-district schools are especially lacking in new districts. This naturally encourages parents to consider private education,” he explains. 
So, almost all the interlocutors of the editorial office complained about the traditional difficulty for Russian schools with personnel. “Yes, there are difficulties – let’s say, the lack of teachers is also felt in the private sector, because this is a nationwide problem,” says Tatyana Shchur, general director of the PEI St. Petersburg Gymnasium ALMA MATER. 
Products have risen (and we cook ourselves), all payments have risen, even the Internet has become more expensive, ”admits Daria Ryzhikova, director of the Simba private kindergarten.

She is dependable, punctual, and our baby adores her.
Experience with multiples, preemies (twins & triplets). I have been astay-at-home mom for 15+ yrs. I am a honest, compassionate fun caregiver. Detail oriented, and discrete…. 
My undergraduate degree is in Psychology.I am also available for virtual learning a few days or few hours a week.
Relax. Refresh. Read on the beach or even close those eyes in the back of your head for a while. Stay in the sun as long as you like and leave everything else up to me. I’m experienced with multifamily groups of children and with children of all ages & temperaments: those ready to comb miles of beach for shells and shark’s teeth or make the biggest sand castle in the whole wide world, those who want to navigate the 11 mile lagoon in kayaks or hit the bike trails & even those who really just need to watch their favorite Thomas the Train episode One! More! Time!… 
Children and babies are very receptive to me and I am comfortable newborns as well as some special needs (I have a degree and small business in mental health). I am happy to re-certify for CPR/FA as my last one expired in 2018. I communicate and plan well; and I’m friendly and adaptable. I am happy to stop by to meet your family or chat on the phone!… 
The last 14 years of their life have been some of the best of mine. Whether it is an infant who needs to be danced around in your arms in order to sleep, a toddler in their terrible twos, a child who needs to be doing something all the time, or a student who just needs some extra help, I have experienced it all and I genuinely enjoy it. I’m a big kid myself…. 
I love getting out of the house with the kiddos – going to classes, parks, play dates, and field trips (zoo, amusement park, aquarium, etc.) Listening to music, reading books and doing art projects are also a fave of mine!… 
I would hire Cinnamon 10/10 times. Could not recommend her enough!… 
Reliable And Fun. Willing To Work Overnight.
I have provided care for children, ranging from newborn to teen. My care giving experience began when I was 13, babysitting for family, friends and neighbors. During summers, I volunteered at a camp for special needs children. During my high school years, I held a daily babysitting position caring for an 8-month-old little girl for approximately four hours each day. I am a mother of one grown daughter and the grandmother of two grandsons of whom I was their primary caregiver since they were 6 weeks old. I have volunteered in my churches infant and toddler nurseries and taught in our preschool and elementary Sunday school for eight years. I currently volunteer in the middle school youth program. I have been a volunteer and guest reader in my grandson’s elementary school. Most current nanny position was caring for a premature infant. Also, caregiver part-time for two children (15 months and 3 years old). For the past two years, I have been a caregiver for two families on an occasional/date night basis.
When I began these positions the children were 15 months old. I love holding, rocking, singing and reading to infants/children. I enjoy spending time with them because they are so much fun to be with, watching and encouraging their growth, discoveries and development. I appreciate their complete openness and honesty. I enjoy being outdoors, playing games and reading. People describe me as a loving, caring, fun, and compassionate person who is trustworthy and possesses an excellent work ethic. Excellent references available…. 
I have over 20+ yrs of experience in helping families care for their children from ages newborns and up. I absolutely love children of all ages, but newborns, babies, and toddlers have a very special place in my heart! I have two amazing children who are both away at college at Biola University in California. With my own “babies” away at school I have a lot of extra time on my hands, and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than helping other families care for their babies! Please contact me with any questions, or if I can help your family out in anyway. 🙂
Moreover, I had premature twins myself, so I understand your struggles all too well. I specialize as a sleep trainer and consultant, and have perfected my knowledge and craft in getting babies to sleep through the night not only quickly, but in the most benign & amp; safest of ways. I pride myself in doing the little extras, which will mean a lot when you have your hands full. I am organized, have an incredible work ethic and come prepared. I am always respectful of your wishes and never forget that these are your babies. I look forward to meeting you soon, answering your questions and easing your mind of any worries. Thank you…. 
For our third, he had major re-flux issues and again, taught us so much to get us through. I have an especially intense job and even when my husband would help out it was still disruptive. We were so happy with her the first time that weeks after I found out we were pregnant with our third, I called to see if she was available. I could go on and on. Please feel free to contact me should you need any more information…. 
My goal is to coach your child through life and make sure I leave as much of an imprint on their lives as much as they do my own. What you can expect from me: I have no problem with cooking and light house keeping. I am active, so you will almost never see us at home. If there is a museum, hike or park nearby… We will be there. If it is too cold outside? I love arts and crafts and teaching the kiddos to cook/bake. I also love books! If you feel I suit you needs, please feel free to contact me at any time…. 
I have always been around children, and I have been babysitting for over 10 years. I don’t mind pets at all, since I’ve always been a pet owner. Please feel free to reach out to me if I seem like a great fit. Best of luck!…

Let your friends and family know your schedule a month out, and ask who can be a backup on each night you are working. Explain that you will call them only in an emergency, but that their help would set your mind at ease about maintaining a work schedule and protecting your job. This might be a good option for friends and family who would like to help but who are not necessarily able to make a firm and regular commitment. 
Make sure that any child-care provider is on board with it. For example, begin by brushing teeth and then get into bed with a comfort item. Then let the child read two stories and sing a song or whatever works. Depending on the individual circumstances, you may want to call to say goodnight if that is logistically possible and not upsetting or otherwise counterproductive. 
No one can be launched from work to life with small children without any rest. Although Solo Moms are often budget-conscious, child care is not the place to trim. Make sure that you are addressing your need for sleep as you consider the best option for your child.

“The challenge is to design something that works for families, rather than try to fit families into what the current market provides.”
“I spent long periods of time hoping the business would get me more kids … but I was actually losing money rather than making money.”

When she opened Wishing Well two years ago, she planned to run it on the standard 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule. But Bawazir could not refuse a parent who called pleading for an extension. She’d been on the pleading end herself with her own kids in Chicago.
This requires her to drop off her daughter Lilliana Vallette, 5, at Wishing Well and pick her up at 10:30 p.m. three nights a week and at 5:30 p.m. three nights a week, leaving out only Sundays.

Collective and individual sessions with a psychologist and speech therapist are of great importance. In a private kindergarten in Podolsk, the equipment of playrooms and playgrounds is at the most modern level. 
February, 65 
The most unusual place where you have to interact and influence (as it is more correct to call the work of an entrepreneur) is the kindergarten of my youngest daughter. While she is changing clothes, I answer messages or dictate texts, check mail. Once I needed to make an urgent conference call and had to do it in a kindergarten gazebo, among toy deer and kangaroos. 
Prytek resembles an open space with glass partitions and a large number of meeting rooms and free zones where you can take a nap. There are chess tables in the office, I like to play chess, but this is rare as I have a busy business schedule. It is sometimes useful for every person to be alone, so I often work in a cafe. 
All company employees work remotely, and I am no exception. At first I worked with the child in my arms, and when he grew up, and we began to go to all sorts of children’s classes, I took my laptop with me or checked my mail from my phone. I live in England, it’s customary to keep small talk even with strangers. I was the black sheep who sat in a secluded corner and worked, while most of the mothers chatted over a cup of tea while the children played or painted. 
In addition, you do not need to order anything and eat while sitting at the computer, like in a cafe. 
I only go out to eat 🙂 
For long telephone conversations, so that no one interferes, and sometimes does not hear, I prefer my car in the parking lot. And in order not to miss any details of the call, since it is inconvenient to make records, the call recording function on the smartphone comes to the rescue. 
Now I don’t really like working from a restaurant, and if necessary I prefer to work in co-working spaces. It is worth noting that many Moscow and St. Petersburg coworking spaces are much better than most offices: they are comfortable, stylish, technologically advanced, affordable, and in general there are a lot of them. We have a very stylish, modern office, but when I need to be alone, I go to work in the nearest co-working space, of which there are three around our office. 
Among the centuries-old pines, on the fresh ocean wind, it is pleasant to concentrate to the sounds of seals. Or you can fly to the mountains, all within an hour. There are 250 public airports in California (and also private ones), and you can rent a plane like a car in a car sharing – you booked it from your phone, took the keys and go (up)! 
Now they are trying to attract visitors not only with books, but also with cozy co-working spaces. It is quiet and comfortable there, you can always switch, leaf through a book, relax. Well, in the summer you can work in the park: the Tauride or Mikhailovsky Gardens allow you to lay out a blanket, get a snack and work with a laptop at least all day. Unfortunately, our parks, unlike European parks, are not yet equipped with Wi-Fi and chargers, but I hope that this will change soon.

I know she is safe, she is loved, and well cared for the entire day. One of the many unique things about KB – they allow and encourage the infants to explore and play (there are no swings or bouncers). The staff is truly hands on with the kids, all day. Lastly, I really appreciate that we are greeted the minute we walk in the doors. The managers and directors know all the kids by name, and take the time to get to know the children individually. It’s pretty great!
).
I leave my two children in the hands of dedicated, loving, and nurturing teachers each day. My girls are always excited to go each day. The facility is safe, secure, and clean and they have a great curriculum they use to focus on those early learning skills and standards. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this center.
We are so proud to be their partner in parenting.

Nothing has changed since then, so what’s the point of talking again? 
I hung up the phone and looked around for something to break, but then all my energy ran out and I lay down on the floor right there. I tried to cry but it didn’t work, so I fell asleep instead. 
The customer contacts their local hub, selects a company and product code, and if a bank or credit balance is confirmed, orders are placed with various component manufacturers, transport offices, and assembly firms. The company itself does not move anything, only data. 
But it was as if the force (shamelessly humanized) that had previously directed me to have unrestrained sex finally found out about birth control, and so cleverly decided to shift my attention one link further down the messed up causal chain. Like a teenager constantly dreaming about sex, so I constantly dreamed about fatherhood. 
I laugh wearily. 
Who really died ?

Most of these small companies have no premises, they are just megabytes of data that are manipulated by the software of the international trading network. The customer contacts their local hub, selects a company and product code, and if a bank or credit balance is confirmed, orders are placed with various component manufacturers, transport offices, and assembly firms. The company itself does not move anything, only data. 
children of danger. on these forms of technology in the first place. 
Alex actively restricts his child’s access to digital gadgets, proving that he believes he is protecting his child by restricting her use of these “baby tubes”. Obviously, Alex believes that both of his children are vulnerable and that technology is threatening. Feeling the need to protect his child from phones, Alex demonstrates his belief that he – and, in turn, parents in general – are responsible for maintaining the notion of childhood that his generation has experienced – one without digital entertainment and communication. 
At this age, parental control is significantly minimized due to the child’s constant contact with other children, other adults and the use of computers at school. Through the choice of age five, Egan argues that in our digital age, there is little that an adult can do to keep children away from the digital world, which in this day may be considered “the milestone of adulthood” (Craft, 176), or in our time, childhood. Although Alex tries to delay his child’s transition into both a new era of childhood and a new stage of life, similar to what is suggested to adults in terms of a “childhood in danger” (Craft, 176), there is so much he can do to keep his child away from electronics and the internet, proving that Egan believes these technologies are central to today’s concept of childhood. When Alex’s pipe vibrates, his daughter points to his pocket and exclaims, “Das mine!” causing Alex to ask if it was “perhaps his daughter could feel vibrations through his body” (Egan, 321). Alex’s panicky reaction, while slightly absurd, demonstrates the fear he and other parents have of smartphones towards children.
His concern that his child is able to feel another person’s handset is never rebutted, citing parental concern that children are already too much connected to digital devices. The italics on “mine” also show that his daughter is taking responsibility for the device, implying that these phones are an integral part of the child’s identity, possessions, and childhood itself. 
Without mobile phones, a child’s ability to point to anything will not be affected; however, when combined with Internet-enabled devices, the child gains enormous purchasing power. So, from a simple point of view, children can have a strong impact not only on the music industry, but on any market that uses online sales. This state of Egan’s society supports the “childhood empowerment” debate, which emphasizes the “market orientation of childhood” and the “broader sense of personal engagement” that children feel as a result of the application of technology (Craft, 177). Egan chooses the music industry as an example of his children’s increased consumerism due to his emotional associations, as it is an industry that people are often strongly attached to due to its nostalgia and artistic value. Thus, if children are the “arbiters of musical success” or the new authorities in the arts, readers may feel a new level of disgust at the “market development of childhood” not because of the damage it can do to children themselves, but because of society as a whole.
to him. Thus, through his digital career, he becomes corrupt. Thanks to Alex’s work, Egan argues that social media and smartphones also pose a danger to adults. 
While any academic newspaper could say that the Internet is taking advantage of people’s willingness to give up information without knowing the consequences, only Egan’s prose can do it in such an engaging way that creates an emotional connection with readers who have also comically commented on the silliness of the information. as their favorite vegetable online. The self-deprecation in the line where Alex regrets his “belonging” also helps to make Alex more attractive and reinforces Egan’s point that everyone is at risk online, even adults especially. Without prose, Egan would have made the same argument as everyone else in the academic debates surrounding childhood instead of offering an unprecedented perspective that included humor and sentiment. 
In fact, as children grow and learn along with these forms of technology, rather than being forced into their lives as alien forces do, as adults did, children are instead liberated through the internet and smartphones, fully knowing their abilities as good. as well as bad ones. Children have grown up using the Internet and its methods of communication and know better than to share their personal information online, unlike adults like Alex. However, because they grew up in a digital world and don’t know anything else, protecting children from the Internet is incredibly difficult, especially since they don’t see it as a threatening entity. In fact, adults are the ones who are more vulnerable to devices with Internet access because they are afraid of them and do not fully understand the enormous possibilities of the Internet. Egan argues that Internet electronics are a force to be reckoned with by adults; after all, they are the ones who offer their favorite poses on the internet.

But she becomes seriously ill and her father, a timid, obsequious creature, has to overcome himself, the indifference of society and the sluggishness of the bureaucratic machine in order to save her.

Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. 
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.
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. 
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. 
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

In this regard, “Lincoln the Vampire Hunter” has more chances to go to the people – after all, this is an independent literary work with a blood-sucking flavor that is fashionable now, and Timur Bekmambetov’s blockbuster recently paved the way for it. 
Abe has declared ruthless war on these same vampires since one of them killed his mother; Lincoln kills vampires with his own hand and quite brutally. The confrontation between the North and the South in this context is the struggle of humanity against a mysterious race that uses people as portable thermoses with blood, and the political debate in Congress is a battle between those who are ready to cooperate with vampires and those who are not.

This can make it challenging for parents who need access to child care to find the best price for their specific area. 
Educated child care professionals have spent years studying the cognitive development of young minds and how to maximize their learning while creating a structured and caring environment. 
Most in-home daycares open between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., closing between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. If you drop your child off later or pick them up earlier, you may qualify for a lower rate.
However, the most expensive type of child care is a nanny, with a national average cost of $596 per week.
Initial supplies cost about $7,500 administrative costs tend to be around $6,800, and building renovation costs could potentially run up to $40,000 if a complete renovation is needed.
Labor costs will vary quite a bit between states, and should be determined based on the qualifications of the staff. The business owner’s salary should also be included in this calculation to give a more accurate representation of total labor costs. The number of staff will largely depend on state regulation, as many states have set ratios of caregivers to children. 
When factoring in both child care centers and family care centers, the average increase was nearly $50 per week. This increase shows how quickly and dramatically the prices of daycare can fluctuate. While there is not a specific clear reason for the relatively rapid increase, a significant portion of the revenue goes to complying with regulatory standards. Perhaps the most impactful of these standards is the staff to child ratio, which requires a high number of staff on duty, even for a small number of children.
In these states, daycare can be as low as around $300 per month. This can likely be attributed, at least in part, to the varying costs of living around the country. In states where there are lower labor costs, low house costs, and less strict regulation, daycare centers are able to charge much less. This tends to be geographic, with the most expensive in-home daycare centers being located in urban cities, while more affordable child care facilities are located in rural areas.
A study showed that 66% of parents are willing to pay more for child care services if the staff received safety training, such as CPR and first aid certifications.
Also, some parents may be looking for a daycare center with bilingual staff or caregivers that have experience watching children with behavioral or developmental issues. In addition, many daycare centers offer meals for children. This could result in higher rates because food preparation requires additional time and financial commitment. Food must be ordered and prepared, which adds to expenses.
Home daycare owners have a median income of around $20,000 per year. It remains a rewarding profession that many business owners in the industry are passionate about. In order to become more profitable or earn a higher salary, some in-home daycare owners choose to expand their businesses to larger commercial properties. This increases profit, as much more children can be cared for in a bigger facility. 
Sponsoring CPR or first aid training will be an additional expense. Similarly, hiring staff who are already certified will also cost more in labor than hiring those who are not.
In fact, I came to the Civic Assistance Committee, since a significant part of the questions, the answers to which I have to look for here, in practice intersected with the topic of my Ph.D. thesis – I wrote about establishing the fact of labor relations. I came, talked with future colleagues, it turned out that just at the moment I needed help in an educational project. My thoughts were something like this: “Now I’ll quickly help them figure it out, there’s nothing special to do there, because it’s just like 2 × 2 = 4, and then I’ll switch to labor issues.” Well, for three years now we have not been able to deal with these questions about getting an education. ( Laughs. ) At first there were two of us, now there are four, but I think this is not the limit, because children are still not taken to school, it is still impossible to arrange a kindergarten. This concerns not only refugees and labor migrants, who are in the focus of attention of Civic Assistance, but also Russian citizens.
In general, it turns out infinitely that 2 × 2 = 5, although in the same Moscow we win almost all court cases.
That is, if I am deprived of my status, then I will no longer be able to represent someone’s interests in court.
What are we fighting for? For equality. Schools and kindergartens are two different systems, two different planets. Kindergarten attendance is a legally optional story. The child may or may not go to the garden. He has no obligation to attend kindergarten. With school education, the situation is different: studying at school is the duty of every child and no formalities should interfere with this.
As a result, we try to resolve the issue manually, bypassing the mos.ru portal. Moreover, such children, as a rule, have the necessary documents that are quoted: a refugee certificate, information about the status of migration registration – that is, there are no grounds for refusing them. In addition, in the case of refugees, the relevant federal law is also important, which prescribes assistance to such children. Nevertheless, they are placed in the general queue of children who do not have permanent registration in Moscow.
ru portal. 
But now there is some kind of leapfrog with orders: either you can apply through the portal (mos.ru. – Note ed. ), or you can’t apply through the portal. These are all serious restrictions for parents. Initially, we were told that the only possible way to get into the school was to apply through this very portal in Moscow. Now the Ministry of Education offers to apply both through the portal, and in person or even by mail. But right today, the department of education writes an answer to the next application that it is allowed to submit an application only through the portal, and other options are not quoted. Why is that? Because the portal launches the process of per capita financing of children’s education. That’s how the system is set up. For every child who goes to school, funding is allocated from the state. At the same time, what is remarkable: all payments are tied to the BTI databases (technical inventory bureau. – Note ed. ) and calculations are made on the basis of registration at the place of residence or at the place of stay.
So all those who do not currently have registration fall into the “blind” zone: both children who are citizens of Russia and children who are not. Foreign citizens cannot obtain such registration (all migration registration falls out). Russian citizens who, for various reasons, could not register themselves, also drop out of the system. 
ru portal, but now there is a provision that parents have the right to submit this application by mail or in person. This has not happened before, and this is a big systemic story. We are not alone in achieving this, but in many respects this is the merit of the committee.
The court in its decision writes to us that we cannot predetermine the decision of the state body, but we can oblige them to reconsider your issue. This is what we live with, unfortunately. 
Now it is happening like this: for years we have been going and telling that, they say, look, you have a child and he does not go to school. And the department pretends that it [the child] does not exist. And it would be okay if these were all metaphors, but I will give you an example from one case, quite real. A child was sitting next to me, and at the court session they told me that legally it does not exist. And I answered: “But here it is, look! He sits next to me. Here he is definitely present here physically, but he does not receive education! It turned out that he was enrolled in the school in the end. 
The children there, of course, learned the language during this year, but after the parents were released and the children were reunited with them, problems began with getting into the school. This family can no longer leave Russia, but they also cannot legalize themselves in our country. Almost five years have passed since then.
We are ready to accept your children.” 
Moreover, some children may not want to study, play truant, receive reprimands for their behavior. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t have to go to school! Vice versa! You must definitely study, you must be like everyone else – in a good, in the best sense of the word. You just need to drive away the thought that since the children are at school, now they have something, which means that everything will definitely be fine. The fact that they went to school does not mean anything at all, but it is very important that they go there. We didn’t save anyone, we did what was necessary, period.
) The story about football became a revelation, and as a result, he was even accepted into some kind of youth team.
The Civic Assistance Committee works with both Russians and people from other countries.
.. This is due to the fact that the family often cannot communicate in Russian at the level required. 
But the atmosphere in our work is such that employees are selected with a similar worldview.
Some crazy number of volunteers appear, civil society is forming quickly. And people learn to act for themselves and “for that guy” somehow, to defend common interests. And it’s so great! In fact, what does not work from above, does not work as prescribed at the national level, suddenly begins to work with tripled strength in another place, but pursuing the same interests. During the pandemic, our refugees suddenly received support that they had probably never received before. We were brought food for them, bought things, a huge number of people called the committee with the question: “How can I help right now?” And this is taking into account the fact that it was so hard for everyone at the beginning of the pandemic. But there were forces to help others. This is indifference.
This is some kind of cycle of goodness in nature. This is probably the best, most important thing. This is the pivot point. 
There is a single city queue. Information about which kindergarten parents plan to send their child to is necessary in order to satisfy the wishes of the family as much as possible. If your child does not attend kindergarten yet and is registered in the database of future pupils of the preschool educational institution, then on reception days (Monday, Wednesday from 9.00 to 13.00 and Thursday from 15.00 to 18.00) you can call the recruitment commission of the Department of Education at 6-31-20 and tell you that you have moved, and in this regard, give new information about the child. 
15. Will I have to re-join the queue after moving in Bataysk or can I change the queue? 
To date, 32 vacancies for educators have been opened in Bataysk preschool institutions. The Department of Education, together with the heads of educational institutions, is actively working with the employment center, organizing job fairs to solve this problem. We will be glad if new, active, creative people who love children come to work in the kindergarten. We are waiting for everyone. 
They are purchased at the expense of funds earned by the preschool institution in additional education, voluntary donations from sponsoring organizations and sponsors. 
148: the heating system risers were replaced, euro windows were installed, interior doors were replaced, new linoleum was laid in the group and locker rooms, modern light-colored matting was glued, the ceiling was repaired. A campaign has been launched to replace children’s furniture: a play wall, tables and chairs have been replaced. Plans to replace the wardrobes for children’s clothes. Taking into account the specifics of kindergarten groups (lack of bedrooms), in the early age group, as in all other groups, standard industrial three-level beds are installed that comply with GOSTs and are allowed by SanPin 2.4.1.2660-10. The restroom has been refurbished. The overhaul of the bathroom is planned for this academic year, subject to the availability of funds. 
Despite the fact that the repair week at the preschool educational institution has been completed, preparations for the new academic year continue. All painting work on the territory of the kindergarten, including the fence on the area of the early age group, is scheduled for July 20, 2012. 
In July last year, the administration of the MB preschool educational institution replaced the old fence with a new wooden fence, the shape and color scheme of the children’s fence (light, pastel colors) was thought out. Children, parents and employees were delighted with this purchase. As for the safety of the fence, all requirements are met.

We have already talked about how to properly distribute the household load and how to teach relatives to respect your work. Today we will analyze with you family manipulation, which is associated with inequality in the distribution of responsibilities, and often this manipulation is combined with financial violence. 
In general, if a person is sacrificial, he will be surrounded by tyrants and manipulators. Together or one by one. Because the victim herself, by her behavior, unconsciously attracts tyrants to herself. Makes her feel like a victim. It becomes very convenient for another person to have such a lifesaver next to him, even if he is white and fluffy with others. 
Without begging and begging, without bribery. You can say something like this: “I did this and that today. Very tired. Please do this”, “Help me, I’m exhausted!”, “I’m very tired and I feel injustice. Let’s rethink our responsibilities.” You can even use positive manipulation: “You’re better at this.” 
For example, hire cleaning, order food in good cafes, and find an accompanying nanny for children. If for all of the above there is no money or it is a pity, then once again I strongly advise you to reconsider the responsibilities in the family and distribute them correctly. Otherwise it turns out the exploitation of man by man. 
And a girl, from childhood absorbing the sacrifice of her mother, having matured, in relations with men can fall into a victim, considering this a “female share”. 
It belongs to the finest work of the artist. The work is imbued with poetry, the author managed to create a surprisingly subtle and truthful image of nature. 
The structure is light and airy. 
I want to get to the autumn alley, feel the freshness of the autumn air, share the joy. 
He so clearly depicted each, even the thinnest branch, that it is even impossible to imagine how much time it took him to do such painstaking work. To the right of the picture is a small, old gazebo. Now it is empty, but if it rains, then you can hide from it in it. 
Many representatives of painting love nature in autumn. So, I. A. Brodsky at one time gained fame thanks to the painting “Summer Garden in Autumn”, capturing a clear warm day. 
At that moment, the branches of the trees seemed to freeze due to the lack of wind. They lay on the ground in the form of bizarre intertwining patterns. I would like to slowly walk along the flat territory of the garden, greet the autumn rays of the sun, listen to the falling rare leaves, feel the aromas of foliage and enjoy complete silence.

To the right stands an unpainted wooden gazebo with a staircase and ornate railings. It can be sheltered from the rain. But on this day, no rain is expected. The sky is cloudless and high in autumn. The sun freely peeps through the rare crown of trees. It also warms the earth and all living things on it. 
Explore the play of light and shadow. And further, in the depths of the picture, a crowd is depicted, consisting of many people. Where there is a mother with a baby in a stroller, who slowly walks along the path. Some elderly people, sitting on benches, enjoy the last warm days, while others admire the beauty of the surrounding nature, walking along the street. And there is really something to admire. The rays of the sun flicker on the branches of trees, and this leaves a stunning beautiful shadow pattern. The sun illuminates all nature. 
A wide alley is covered with yellow foliage, and semi-leaf trees stand on the sides. There was still a small part of the foliage on the branches, but with each gust of wind they become less and less. 
Older people sit on benches and enjoy the last warmth of the gentle sun. And some leisurely just stroll along the alley and admire the beautiful nature. 
To describe the richness of nature, the artist chose just a few colors, enhancing their sound with endless shades, the combination of which creates a volume of landscape content and an expressive perspective of the park alley. 
It depicts a park during a wonderful time – autumn. The painting is done in bright yellow tones. The trees have almost shed their leaves. But on some branches, dull yellow leaves are still visible. 
He was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR. Isaak Izrailevich also headed the Russian Academy of Arts. And all this is absolutely not in vain, because each of his works has its own individuality and originality, and his landscapes are among the best in comparison with the works of other Russian artists of the last century. 
All the plants depicted in this picture have almost completely thrown off their summer clothes and prepared for winter, from which we can conclude that the picture shows deep autumn, most likely the end of October or the beginning of November. But judging by how many people are walking in the park and how they are dressed, it can be said that the weather is still quite warm and pleasant outside. 
The alley depicted on it is located in the most beautiful place loved by many residents of St. Petersburg – the Summer Garden. Along the alley, age-old trees rise into the sky – giants, as if they rest against the clouds floating above them. The artist enthusiastically depicts one of the outgoing days of golden autumn. The autumn sun illuminates everything around with a golden tint. Most of the foliage has already crumbled from the trees, the crown has become almost transparent. 
This picture carries mixed feelings of sadness and joy, evokes a feeling of peace, the inevitable arrival of frost. 
There is a slight coolness in this shade, and even the smell of these dry leaves. And a wooden gazebo located a little to the right of the trees does not attract anyone, because it is better to bask in the sun and take a walk than hide in the shade. Very competently, Brodsky uses light and shadow, creating the impression of some kind of mystery. 
Among the trees you can see a gazebo decorated with carved railings. She seems to be hiding in the shade of majestic trees. Patterned shadows play on its roof, which makes the gazebo more hospitable. Fallen leaves cover the path of the alley with a thin carpet. The sun is merrily reflected in the golden leaves. 
Women have leisurely conversations among themselves, and children play on the paths of the park. Despite the fact that people are depicted in the distance and it is difficult to see them, they play a large role in the picture. Without them, the park would seem abandoned and uncomfortable. 
Each of us can perceive autumn differently, for some it is a time of sadness, because summer is over, a cold long winter lies ahead. And for someone opposite, autumn is a colorful, bright time of the year when you can dream and think about the future. 
Here are the mothers walking with strollers, discussing something hotly. The kids run after each other, playing tag. And businesslike old men are sitting on the bench, lowering their glasses to the tip of their nose, and playing another game of chess. Old women walk along the alley and breathe fresh air, discussing their troubles. 
Petersburg – the Summer Garden. A place of rest and walks for residents of the city in different eras. This amazing, in its beauty, park is good at any time of the year. The great poets Alexander Pushkin and Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Balmont and others walked here. Each of them sang the beauties of this urban garden with beautiful rhymes and poems. The virtuosos of the brush hurried after the masters of the word. Many of them left sketches with expressive corners of the man-made complex. Brodsky was in their ranks, he also painted a landscape where he depicted this garden. 
The wind drives numerous clouds across the sky. The sun will either hide behind the fog, or suddenly emerge and blind your eyes. The sun, which appeared for several hours, illuminated the trees, in the park, paths, shrubs and grass. Its rays warm brightly, but not hot, sunlight, as if pouring from the sky like a stream. On the side alley of the square, along the walking paths-alleys, giant trees that have seen a lot in their lifetime grow. Their crowns, tops, go into the gray-blue height of the sky. 
Carved wooden railings are light and elegant.
