In response to the developmental needs of young children, our program supports children’s learning and exploration by providing opportunities for them to make choices and experiment as they work toward understanding the world around them. A variety of learning opportunities facilitates self-discovery and competency.

Popular attractions and activities in Fresno, California: what makes the local zoo unique
Today we again take a virtual tour of California (USA). This time we’ll take a look at Fresno, one of the largest cities in the San Joaquin Valley in central California. Like many other local cities, Fresno lives and thrives on agricultural products. Therefore, there are many fresh fruits here, and it is good to ride bicycles along the paths between flowering trees.
But Fresno has more to offer – underground garden adventures, a unique zoo, nightlife in the Tower District and much more. Let’s take a quick look at the main attractions of the city.
Forestier Underground Gardens
These underground gardens are a real attraction, located a few kilometers northwest of the city. This amazing example of engineering genius is especially good to visit in the summer to escape the heat. It was created at the beginning of 1900s Sicilian immigrant Baldassare Forestier. He manually carved catacombs and grottoes in limestone, building a unique labyrinth of underground gardens, where many fruit trees grow.
The Underground Gardens are now a California Historic Landmark. Individual travelers cannot enter here. The only way to walk through the gardens is to buy a guided tour. It lasts about an hour. During this tour, you will be told about how these catacombs were created, get acquainted with their architecture, and also show you the trees that have been growing and bearing fruit since the beginning of the 20th century. By the way, the temperature in underground gardens is usually 10-20 degrees lower than the temperature on the surface.
Chaffee Zoo (main photo)
Fresno’s unique Chaffee Zoo is located in Roading Park, six kilometers from the center. The zoo is interesting because it is landscaped and divided into several natural zones, recreated in the smallest detail. For example, this is a zone of African adventures or rugged mountain waterfalls. Here you can see rare wild animals, such as lions, tigers, orangutans and warthogs.
The park itself, where the zoo is located, is an excellent green area for family recreation. There are special covered picnic areas, fountains, dense shady trees. Nearby is the Rotary Storyland Playland Family Amusement Park. This is a classic amusement park, and the kids will have a lot of fun there.
Woodward Regional Park
This regional park is located in the northern part of the city. There is a bird sanctuary, a real Japanese garden, many beautiful alleys and pavilions. Marked trails and hiking trails run throughout the park, connecting the most beautiful places. People come here to walk, jog, ride a bike, and take pictures of the many birds.
The Japanese garden is especially beautiful in spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. It is also decorated with decorative Japanese-style structures. The park often hosts concerts in the 2,500-seat Rotary Amphitheater. During the summer, performances are staged here during the annual Woodward Shakespeare Festival.
Downtown Fresno
Like all American cities, Fresno has a downtown area, its living heart. There are many historical sights to see here, such as the imposing Fresno County Supreme Courthouse, City Hall, or the old water tower.
Just a few steps from the courthouse are local restaurants, as well as boutiques and shops. Theaters, museums, as well as the beautiful central park of Chukchani are also nearby. On the streets of the center, you can admire beautiful murals created over the past decades.
The center often organizes cultural and musical venues for various events. In the summer there is an open-air music festival “Mariposa”. On one of the central streets – Fulton Street – a gastronomic and musical party is held every year. At this time, more than 30 trucks of various food are brought into the street.
Blossom Trail
Fresno is very beautiful in the spring, especially when gardens are in bloom in the southeast of the city. For tourists, among the apple, apricot and peach trees, a 120 km long bicycle route “Blossom Trail” or “Blossoming Road” has been laid. It is best to ride here between mid-February and the second half of March.
Tower area
Most popular among nightlife lovers. It was named after the Tower Theatre, located on the main street of the area. In addition to nightclubs, there are many popular and vintage restaurants here. There is live music in the streets in the evenings. And here you can sit in coffee shops, walk through boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. The Tower Theater hosts the city’s film festival.
Warnors Theater
This is one of the city’s earliest cinemas. It opened at 1928 as a theater where vaudeville was staged, but then silent films began to be shown here. Until now, this theater plays a dual role. There are concerts, theatrical performances, and film screenings. The theater is also a venue for private parties and weddings.
Fresno Museum of Art
This museum was founded in 1940. Now it is a huge gallery with 3600 works of art – paintings, sculptures and engravings. Every year a new interesting exhibition opens here.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
Some of America’s finest national parks are located near Fresno. Drive there for about an hour. Here you can walk through the forest among the high mountain peaks. And in the forest grow giant trees – sequoias.
They also lure tourists with hiking, rock climbing and multi-day excursions through forests of giant trees. One of the most popular routes is climbing to the top of the Moro cliff. The exhausting climb up the stone steps fully pays off with the breathtaking view that opens up from above.
Both parks have campsites where you can stay or just sleep. One of the best campsites is Azalea, in the Grant Grove area. It is not far from it to get to the most beautiful places.
Mew House Museum
This is the former mansion of Dr. Thomas Richard Meux, physician and Civil War veteran, built in 1889. The building with 16 rooms has retained the Victorian style both outside and inside. Now it belongs to the city and has been turned into a museum. Tourists can see the rooms of the mansion during the tour. The house-museum also hosts various events – candlelit dinners and celebrations.
Of all the attractions in Fresno that are advertised to tourists, I personally would visit the national parks and even live there. Wandering through the mountains and forests is my forte.

A blighted ovum is when the gestational sac containing the embryo is empty.
What is a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum (also called an anembryonic pregnancy) is a type of early miscarriage that occurs when a fertilized egg implants into the uterus but does not develop into an embryo. The embryo will stop growing, but the gestational sac (where the embryo would develop) continues to grow. The placenta and empty gestational sac will release pregnancy hormones — even without an embryo present. This causes you to have early symptoms of pregnancy or even have a positive pregnancy test. Sometimes it occurs so early in pregnancy that you don’t know you’re pregnant.
When does a blighted ovum happen?
A blighted ovum causes an early miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy. During fetal development, a fertilized egg turns into a blastocyte. At around four weeks of pregnancy, this blastocyte implants in the wall of the uterus and develops into an embryo. When you have a blighted ovum, the gestational sac that would hold the embryo continues to grow, even without an embryo present. The following can occur:
A blighted ovum happens so early in pregnancy, that you never realize you are pregnant.
You have a positive pregnancy test and signs of pregnancy only to discover a blighted ovum at your first ultrasound.
You have a positive pregnancy test and signs of pregnancy but then experience a miscarriage.
How common is a blighted ovum pregnancy?
A blighted ovum is the number one cause of first trimester miscarriages.
Symptoms and Causes
What are the symptoms of a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum can occur so early in pregnancy that you never knew you were pregnant. In other cases, you may experience signs of pregnancy such as a missed menstrual period or a positive pregnancy test. You can have symptoms of early pregnancy, such as breast tenderness and morning sickness.
Other times your symptoms will resemble those of a miscarriage:
Vaginal bleeding: Spotting (light bleeding), bleeding or passing light gray tissue or blood clots.
Cramping: Mild to moderate cramping in your pelvic and abdominal region.
The only way to confirm a blighted ovum is through an ultrasound. It will show a gestational sac that is missing an embryo inside.
What causes a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum is usually caused by chromosomal or genetic problems during cell division. During conception, the egg will begin to divide shortly after being fertilized by sperm. Around ten days later, the cells have formed an embryo. With a blighted ovum, the embryo never forms or stops growing after it’s formed.
How does a blighted ovum miscarriage start?
A blighted ovum miscarriage will cause vaginal bleeding and abdominal cramping. A miscarriage usually feels more intense than your regular menstrual period. You can take an over-the-counter medicine like acetaminophen to relieve cramping. Avoid lifting anything heavy or any strenuous exercise as it can increase your bleeding. You may experience spotting for several weeks after a miscarriage.
Diagnosis and Tests
How is a blighted ovum diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will diagnose a blighted ovum using transvaginal ultrasound. This happens in the first trimester, usually between seven and nine weeks of pregnancy. An embryo should be visible at this time in pregnancy. With a blighted ovum, the gestational sac will be empty.
You will lie back on an exam table and place your feet in stirrups like you do for a pelvic exam. Your healthcare provider will put an ultrasound wand into your vagina to see the contents of your uterus.
A blighted ovum will appear as an empty sac — almost like a bubble.
A blighted ovum is when the gestational sac containing the embryo is empty.
People are often unaware that they have a blighted ovum. This is because your placenta continues to give off hormones, making your body think you are pregnant. This is also why you can still have symptoms of pregnancy, including a positive pregnancy test.
If you’ve already experienced bleeding or signs of a miscarriage, your healthcare provider will use ultrasound to look at the contents of your uterus to diagnose a blighted ovum.
Some healthcare providers will collect a series of blood samples that check the levels of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body. HCG is known as the pregnancy hormone because it’s only produced if you are pregnant. The level of hCG in your blood increases rapidly in early pregnancy and reaches its peak around weeks eight to ten. If it’s not rising quickly, it can indicate a miscarriage or other complication. Your provider may decide to test your hCG levels over the course of several days to evaluate how your hCG levels are rising. This can be an effective tool for diagnosing blighted ovum.
Management and Treatment
How is a blighted ovum treated?
For some people, there may be no treatment needed, because your body passes the embryo through your vagina (a miscarriage). If your body does not miscarry the embryo, there are other options to remove the contents of your uterus. Your healthcare provider will talk you through possible treatments:
Dilation & Curettage (D&C): This is a surgical procedure to remove the contents of your uterus. Your healthcare provider will dilate, or open, the cervix and use medical tools and suction to remove the pregnancy tissues from your uterus. This is done under sedation or general anesthesia.
Natural miscarriage: If it’s safe, you may be able to watch and wait to see if your body eventually releases the pregnancy tissues. It can sometimes take days or weeks for this to start. Your healthcare provider will let you know if this is an option for you. You will experience cramping, abdominal pain and bleeding once the miscarriage begins.
Medication-induced miscarriage: You may be given a medication called misoprostol to trigger your body to miscarry. This moves the process along and eliminates the time waiting for a miscarriage to start on its own. You will have cramping, abdominal pain and bleeding within 30 minutes to ten hours of taking the medication.
A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled four to six weeks after a miscarriage or D&C. You may be given another ultrasound to confirm the uterus is empty. Your healthcare provider will check for signs of infection and make sure there were no complications.
What are the complications of a blighted ovum?
Complications of a blighted ovum are uncommon, but the possible complications could include:
Excessive bleeding or hemorrhage.
Infection.
Scarring (from the D&C procedure).
Tears in the uterus (from the D&C procedure).
How long does it take to recover from a blighted ovum?
Recovering from a blighted ovum miscarriage or D&C can last from one or two weeks to a month. Cramping generally lasts up to a week, but bleeding can last several weeks. Your bleeding should get lighter until it stops completely.
You can resume normal activities when you feel comfortable. Bleeding can increase with strenuous activity or exercise. Hormones may remain in your body and delay your menstrual cycle. Most people will get their period within four to six weeks after a blighted ovum.
It may take longer to recover emotionally from a blighted ovum miscarriage. You may have feelings of sadness, anger or confusion. It’s OK to take time to grieve. Ask your friends and family for support.
Prevention
Can a blighted ovum be prevented?
A blighted ovum can’t be prevented. Some couples may want to do genetic testing on the tissue inside the uterus. This checks for underlying causes of your miscarriage and can be helpful to couples who have experienced multiple pregnancy losses.
Outlook / Prognosis
How soon after a blighted ovum can I get pregnant again?
Most healthcare providers recommend having one or two regular menstrual cycles before trying to conceive again after any type of miscarriage.
What are my chances of having another blighted ovum?
Your chances of having another blighted ovum are low. Most people go on to have healthy, full-term pregnancies. If you experience more than one blighted ovum, your healthcare provider may suggest testing to determine if there is an underlying cause.
Living With
When should I see my healthcare provider?
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms:
Excessive bleeding from your vagina.
Dizziness or fainting.
Fever that does not go away.
Symptoms that get worse over time.
Severe pain that isn’t helped with pain medicine.
When should I go to the ER?
Go to the nearest ER If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding — more than two pads per hour for two consecutive hours — or have symptoms of anemia like dizziness, palpitations or paleness.
What questions should I ask my doctor?
Losing a pregnancy is upsetting and confusing. Do not be embarrassed to ask any questions you have. It’s completely normal to have questions and feel emotional during this time. Some questions you may ask are:
Can I let my body miscarry or should I take medication to induce a miscarriage?
What are the risks of miscarriage?
Do I have to have a D&C?
What are the risks of a D&C?
How long can I expect to bleed or have cramping?
Is there any indication this will happen again?
When can I start trying to conceive?
Do I need to come back for another ultrasound?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a blighted ovum considered a miscarriage?
Yes, a blighted ovum is a miscarriage. A miscarriage is a loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks. A blighted ovum is considered an early miscarriage because it occurs before 13 weeks of pregnancy.
How long can you carry a blighted ovum?
The amount of time you can carry a blighted ovum varies. Your placenta will continue to grow and release hormones without an embryo. For some people, a miscarriage can occur within a few days or weeks. Others may still believe they are pregnant only to discover a blighted ovum at their first ultrasound.
Can a blighted ovum turn into a baby?
No, an empty gestational sac will not turn into an embryo. The formation of the embryo occurs within two weeks of conception. By the time the gestational sac is formed, the cells should have already formed the embryo. Your healthcare provider will be able to examine your gestational sac to confirm that no embryo has developed.
Do hCG levels rise with blighted ovum?
Yes, most of the time hCG levels will rise, giving you a positive pregnancy test and symptoms of pregnancy. This is because the placenta continues to give off hCG even if an embryo is not present. The hormone hCG is sometimes called the pregnancy hormone because it is only produced if you are pregnant.
Is a blighted ovum more common with IVF?
A blighted ovum is not more common with IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Your chances of having a blighted ovum with IVF treatment are about the same as they would be with a natural conception.
A note from Cleveland Clinic
Losing a pregnancy is difficult. If you are struggling after a miscarriage, speak with your healthcare provider so they can recommend support groups or counselors. Finding support may help you get through this hard time. Most people who have had a blighted ovum will go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

The Case
A 32-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 1, with a history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus on metformin, presented at 7 and 2/7 weeks by last menstrual period (LMP). The patient reported a history of a primary low transverse cesarean section and a bicornuate uterus. Formal ultrasound revealed an intrauterine gestational sac, with no embryo, and a bicornuate uterus. Beta hCG was 1009 mIU/ml. Hgb A1C was 9.4 g/dL. Her metformin was discontinued and insulin was started.
She was scheduled for a repeat scan approximately 48 hours later, when her hCG would be expected to be over 2000 mIU/ml. At that time, she was spotting, and instead presented to the gynecology clinic. She was seen by an intern who presented the case to an attending and mentioned that the patient had already been found to have an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) on formal sonogram, but failed to mention her history of a bicornuate uterus. They performed a transvaginal ultrasound, found an empty uterus with a thin stripe, and diagnosed the patient as having a completed spontaneous abortion. At that time, they restarted her metformin.
Several weeks later, the patient went to the family planning clinic for follow-up on a Friday afternoon, at which time a urine pregnancy test was positive. An hCG was checked and found to be 40,000 mIU/ml. She was given a lab slip to return on Monday (before the results were back), as it was unclear whether the urine pregnancy test was positive from an ongoing pregnancy or if she was pregnant again. Her hCG increased, and she was again seen in the gynecology clinic that day, where an ultrasound confirmed a 13 and 3/7 week IUP in the right uterine horn. The patient was then admitted for insulin therapy.
In the case at hand, several important systems failed and a patient with a continuing and desired pregnancy was counseled that she had undergone a spontaneous abortion. The failure to recognize a continuing pregnancy could have led to teratogenic exposure to the fetus. Fortunately, this patient was taking only one medication, metformin, which is pregnancy category B and is not known to be associated with specific adverse consequences. Delayed prenatal care could have resulted in a failure to screen this patient for conditions other than diabetes that might complicate pregnancy and to provide counseling on nutrition and dietary modifications in pregnancy. Before describing systems that could have prevented this error, I will first provide a brief background on Mullerian anomalies, early pregnancy ultrasound, and the evaluation of first-trimester bleeding.
Mullerian Anomalies and Pregnancy The exact rate of Mullerian anomalies is unknown, as those achieving clinical detection are merely a subset of the most severe phenotypes. The most common is a bicornuate uterus (Figure 1), which is caused by incomplete fusion of the bilateral Mullerian systems during embryogenesis. Having a bicornuate uterus is associated with pregnancy complications including midtrimester pregnancy loss, preterm birth, and malpresentation.(1)
The Role of Ultrasound in Early Pregnancy Ultrasound is commonly used in the first trimester to assess gestational age. In many circumstances, it provides more accurate dating information than the last menstrual period.(2) In symptomatic or at risk patients, ultrasound can help distinguish spontaneous abortion from ectopic pregnancy. When no intrauterine pregnancy is visualized and no embryo is seen outside of the uterus, a single or serial measurement of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) may be combined with ultrasound to diagnose an abnormal pregnancy of undetermined location, followed by uterine aspiration to make a definitive diagnosis. (3)
In this case, an intrauterine gestational sac was demonstrated on the first ultrasound performed (Figure 2). Therefore, no hCG surveillance was indicated to evaluate the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Nevertheless, some physicians consider hCG patterns to be valuable in distinguishing normal from abnormal intrauterine pregnancies. Plateauing or declining patterns may prompt early intervention (uterine aspiration) in symptomatic patients.
Classifying Pregnancies with First-Trimester Bleeding Two classification systems permit us to reliably categorize patients with first-trimester bleeding. The clinical system relies on the pattern of bleeding and pain, uterine size, whether the cervix is open or closed, and (if open) whether tissue is present or not. Putting these data together permits a diagnosis of threatened, inevitable, incomplete, completed, or missed spontaneous abortion. Sonographic classification relies on the sequential appearance of the gestational sac, yolk sac, embryo, and cardiac activity. When thresholds in the normal sequence are breached, a diagnosis of anembryonic pregnancy or early embryonic demise can be made, irrespective of the patient’s symptoms. These two classifications systems are often used together when assessing patients with first trimester bleeding or pain.(4)
Strategies for Minimizing Diagnostic Errors Several important systems interventions could have prevented the failure to diagnose a continuing pregnancy in this patient.
Optimizing communication of important clinical information. Until patients are equipped with an electronic summary of their lifetime clinical record stored on portable media, health care providers and institutions will need to be vigilant in their communication, especially when records from one visit are not available at the follow-up visit. Diagnosing and treating ectopic pregnancy prior to catastrophic tubal rupture is so important that many obstetricians keep meticulous information on each patient with first trimester bleeding unless and until an intrauterine pregnancy is visualized on ultrasound or passed at the time of miscarriage.
In this patient, an intrauterine pregnancy was visualized at the initial ultrasound assessment. The patient was not followed with the same vigilance as she would have been if a potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancy was still a possibility. When the patient presented with spotting, a repeat ultrasound examination was performed in the gynecology clinic. The gynecologist had received an incomplete report on the first ultrasound’s findings from a resident caring for the patient because the official report was not yet available. The resident and the patient did not mention her history of a bicornuate uterus. Had there been an ultrasound report available, this history would have been readily apparent and the repeat ultrasound could have been directed to the uterine horn in which the gestational sac had been detected. In this case, failure of communication and proper sign out from one physician to the other increased the risk of an incomplete ultrasound evaluation.
Relying on systematic checklists when ultrasound studies are performed, regardless of the circumstances or operator. Radiologists, gynecologists, and other health care providers credentialed in ultrasound assessment may perform these procedures skillfully. Examiner experience is one predictor of diagnostic accuracy.(5) However, errors can be minimized by the routine use of checklists and meticulous documentation of findings, no matter how experienced the operator.(6) The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists provide standards and guidelines for obstetrical ultrasound reports. Unfortunately, radiologists and obstetrician/ gynecologists demonstrate similarly low adherence rates to these guidelines in some settings.(7)
The repeat ultrasound on this patient was a limited study assessing the progress of the intrauterine pregnancy noted previously. It appears unlikely that a procedural checklist was used. Such checklists may be developed even for studies of limited focus and purpose, to ensure that they are systematically performed. An “empty uterus” was seen. A complete assessment, including the adnexa, would have substantially reduced the risk of not finding the pregnancy in the other uterine horn.
While it is true that this error would probably have been averted if the patient had reminded the team of her bicornuate uterus, several important safety nets also failed. The failure to diagnose a continuing pregnancy in this patient could have been prevented by ensuring complete communication of the relevant history (lifetime clinical record, physician-to-physician sign-out), the timely availability of new clinical information (ultrasound report), and the routine use of systematic procedural checklists for first-trimester ultrasound.

Key facts
A blighted ovum is a type of miscarriage that can happen early in a pregnancy.
A blighted ovum is when a sac and placenta grow, but a baby does not.
A miscarriage can be extremely upsetting, and you may need support and time to grieve.
Having a blighted ovum in one pregnancy does not change your chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future.
What is a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum is a type of miscarriage that can happen early in a pregnancy. It is also called an ‘anembryonic pregnancy’ as there is no embryo (developing baby). In this type of miscarriage, a sac and placenta grow, but there is no baby. Because a blighted ovum still makes pregnancy hormones, it may still show up as a positive pregnancy test.
A blighted ovum will eventually cause a miscarriage, usually at 7 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Your body realises that the pregnancy is not developing properly and starts to shed blood and tissue from the uterus. You may notice pain in your lower abdomen, or bleeding from your vagina.
How common is miscarriage?
Miscarriage is very common, and up to 1 in 5 people who know that they are pregnant will miscarry before 20 weeks of gestation. The actual rate of miscarriage is even higher, as a very early miscarriage may happen before you even realise that you’re pregnant.
What causes a blighted ovum?
When the egg is fertilised, cells that make the pregnancy sac and placenta start multiplying. But occasionally, the cells that are supposed to develop into a baby don’t multiply.
The cause isn’t known. It isn’t caused by anything you have done.
How and when is blighted ovum diagnosed?
Sometimes, it is picked up during a routine ultrasound. This can be particularly difficult if you’ve gone for an ultrasound expecting good news.
At other times, there may have been bleeding at the start of the pregnancy and an ultrasound is used to investigate the cause.
How is blighted ovum treated?
Your doctor will discuss the options with you. You might choose to allow a natural miscarriage to happen. Once this starts, it can take days or weeks for the bleeding to finish. If the bleeding is getting heavier, if you are in pain or you feel unwell, see your doctor.
You could also have a termination by taking medicines or by having a type of surgery known as D & C.
Does it affect my chances of having a baby?
No. Having a blighted ovum in one pregnancy does not alter your chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future.
If you have had one miscarriage, your next pregnancy is likely to be normal. If you have had 3 miscarriages in a row, you should see your doctor to rule out any problems.
Where can I go for support and information?
Speak with your doctor if you are concerned that you may have a blighted ovum.
A miscarriage can be extremely upsetting. If you’ve experienced a miscarriage you may need support and time to grieve. There is no right way to feel after a miscarriage. Different people react to a miscarriage with different emotions, including anger, guilt or relief.

Anembryony – pregnancy or not?
Unfortunately, not all pregnancies end in childbearing. Reproductive losses in this case can be due to various reasons. And one of them is a non-developing or missed pregnancy. The proportion of this pathology accounts for up to 15-20% of reproductive losses. Currently, there are 2 variants of missed pregnancy: death of the embryo and anembryony. It is important to understand that the differential diagnosis between them does not affect the subsequent treatment tactics, but is taken into account when assessing the prognosis. Anembryony is more often determined, and this condition in many cases is not accompanied by spontaneous abortion and therefore requires artificial termination of a missed pregnancy.
Anembryony – what is it?
Anembryony – is the absence of an embryo in a developing fetal egg. This condition is also called the empty gestational sac syndrome. This is by no means a rare pathology that can be diagnosed in primigravida and in women who already have healthy children.
Many possible causes of anembryony have now been identified. These include:
Genetic anomalies , which are observed in almost 80% of the pathological condition. They are usually associated with gross and/or multiple chromosomal abnormalities. Moreover, with anembryony, such anomalies are of a qualitative nature, and with the death of the embryo and its abortion, they are predominantly quantitative. Unviable combinations of parental genes or mutations in key areas responsible for the early stages of embryogenesis and the synthesis of the main structural proteins of cell membranes are also possible.
Some acute viral and bacterial diseases occurring in early pregnancy and leading to damage to embryonic tissues or trophoblast. The most dangerous in this regard are TORCH infections, although other pathogens can also be embryotropic.
Persistent viral-bacterial infections of the organs of the reproductive system, leading to the development of chronic endometritis . And in most cases, such a pathology occurs without obvious clinical symptoms and is detected after a frozen pregnancy.
Radiation exposure of to a developing embryo.
Exogenous intoxications : taking drugs with embryotoxic action, drug addiction, exposure to certain industrial and agricultural poisons (toxins).
Endocrine disorders in a pregnant woman. And the most critical is the deficiency of progesterone and disorders of its metabolism, which is the main cause of the pathology of endometrial decidualization and abnormal implantation of the fetal egg.
In general, the causes of pathology in most cases remain undiagnosed. Usually it is possible to determine only a presumptive etiology.
Genetic diagnosis of aborted tissues can reveal obvious anomalies of hereditary material. But such a study, unfortunately, is carried out in a very small percentage of cases. Basically, it is indicated with a burdened obstetric history in a woman, when she already had frozen or spontaneously interrupted in the early stages of gestation in the past. But even such a diagnosis is not always informative enough, which is associated with the limited possibilities of modern genetics and the high probability of the impact of other etiological factors.
Pathogenesis
Anembryony is a consequence of the cessation of reproduction and differentiation of the embryoblast or inner cell mass – a group of cells that normally give rise to fetal tissues. And this happens at the earliest stages of pregnancy (usually at 2-4 weeks of gestation), and without disturbing the development of the fetal membranes from the trophoblast. As a result, a so-called empty fetal egg is formed, which continues to grow even in the absence of an embryo in it.
Pathogenetically important factors in the development of the disease include:
Inherited or acquired chromosome aberrations and other genetic abnormalities. They can lead to a gross desynchronization of the development of embryonic tissues, critical changes in the structure of collagen and other proteins, disruption of the induction of differentiation and migration of dividing cells. The most common autosomal trisomy, monosomy, triploidy, tetraploidy.
Excessive formation of circulating immune complexes in a woman’s body . Their deposition in the walls of small vessels leads to thromboembolism and other critical microcirculation disorders in the area of the implanting egg. Antiphospholipid antibodies are of the greatest clinical importance.
Excessive activation of T-helpers with an increase in the concentration and aggression of the cytokines secreted by them. These substances are able to have a direct and indirect damaging effect on embryonic tissues with a violation of their proliferation and differentiation. In fact, the fetal egg in this case acts as a target for the cellular link of immunity. The reason for such an abnormal immune response of a woman’s body may be a chronic infection of the endometrium, hormonal abnormalities, and some other endogenous factors.
It is important to understand that with anembryony in the body of a woman, substances are produced that contribute to the prolongation of pregnancy. Therefore, in a significant proportion of cases, spontaneous abortion does not occur. The patient develops and maintains signs of pregnancy, there is an increase in hCG in the blood serum. Therefore, the basal temperature during anembryony usually does not have characteristic features. And on the first early ultrasound, the fact of successful implantation of the fetal egg in the uterine cavity is confirmed. After all, pregnancy does occur, but it develops without a key component – the embryo.
In the future, rejection of the abnormal fetal egg is possible. In this case, the threat of termination of pregnancy (including with the formation of exfoliating retrochorial hematomas) or spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) can be diagnosed. But often anembryony is diagnosed only during a routine examination, in which case the diagnosis is absolutely unexpected and shocking news. Such a pregnancy requires an artificial interruption.
How does this manifest itself?
Anembryony does not have its own clinical symptoms , all emerging disorders are usually associated with the threat of termination of such a pathological pregnancy. And the warning signs include the presence of clinical manifestations of relative progesterone deficiency, which creates the prerequisites for spontaneous abortion. Therefore, pain in the lower abdomen and bloody discharge can become a reason for contacting a doctor; with anembryony, they can appear at almost any time during the 1st trimester. But often a woman learns about the existing pathology only when conducting a screening ultrasound for a period of 10-14 weeks.
Diagnosis
Like other forms of miscarriage, anembryony is detected in the first trimester of gestation. And the main diagnostic tool in this case is ultrasound , because it is this study that allows you to visualize the existing deviations.
At the same time, symptoms can be reliably detected only after the 8th week of gestation. At earlier dates, visualization is often insufficient due to the too small size of the ovum, so an erroneous diagnosis is not ruled out. Therefore If a missed pregnancy and anembryony are suspected, it is recommended to conduct an examination several times, repeating the procedure on expert-class equipment with an interval of 6-8 days. At the same time, the initial diagnosis of an empty fetal egg can be removed if subsequent ultrasound scans can visualize an embryo with signs of a heartbeat and sufficient developmental dynamics.
The main echographic features:
absence of the yolk sac when the diameter of the fetal egg is 8-25 mm;
absence of an embryo in a fetal egg with a diameter of more than 25 mm.
Additional signs of a missed pregnancy include an irregular shape of the fetal egg, an insufficient increase in its diameter in dynamics, a weak severity of the decidual reaction, and the absence of a heartbeat at a gestational age of 7 or more weeks. And signs of the threat of its interruption are a change in the tone of the uterus and the appearance of areas of chorion detachment with the appearance of subchorial hematomas.
Anembryony can also be suspected by a dynamic assessment of the level of hCG in the blood. An increase in the level of this hormone along the lower limit of the norm should be the basis for further examination of a woman with an ultrasound scan. It is important to understand that hCG is also produced in the syndrome of an empty ovum. Moreover, its level in this pathology will be almost normal, in contrast to a frozen pregnancy with the death of a normally developing embryo. Therefore, monitoring of indirect signs of pregnancy and the growth of hCG during anembryony cannot be attributed to reliable diagnostic methods.
Varieties
Several variants of the empty ovum syndrome are possible:
Type I anembryony. The embryo and its remains are not visualized, the size of the fetal egg and uterus does not correspond to the expected gestational age. The diameter of the egg is usually no more than 2.5 mm, and the uterus is enlarged only up to 5-7 weeks of gestation.
Type II anembryony. There is no embryo, but the fetal egg and uterus correspond to the gestational age.
Resorption of one or more embryos in multiple pregnancies. At the same time, normally developing and regressing fetal eggs are visualized. According to this type, anembryony often occurs after IVF, if several embryos were implanted in a woman.
All these varieties are determined only with the help of ultrasound, they do not have characteristic clinical features .
What to do?
Confirmed anembryony is an indication for abortion. This does not take into account the gestational age, the woman’s well-being and the presence of signs of a possible spontaneous abortion. An exception is the situation when the anembryony of the second fetal egg is diagnosed in a multiple pregnancy. In this case, a wait-and-see strategy is taken, evaluating the dynamics of the development of the preserved embryo.
Termination of a missed pregnancy is carried out only in a hospital. After the procedure for the evacuation of the fetal egg, the woman should be under medical supervision. In many cases, after it, additional medication and sometimes physiotherapy are prescribed, aimed at normalizing the hormonal background, preventing inflammatory and hemorrhagic complications, and eliminating the detected infection.
Several techniques can be used to perform a medical abortion for this pathology. Can be used:
medical abortion – termination of pregnancy with the help of hormonal drugs that provoke rejection of the endometrium along with an implanted fetal egg;
vacuum aspiration of the contents of the uterine cavity;
curettage is an operation involving the mechanical removal of the fetal egg and endometrium with a special instrument (curette) after the forced expansion of the cervical canal with bougie.
Medical abortion for anembryos is possible only for a period of 6-8 weeks. In later periods of gestation, preference is given to mechanical methods, which requires the use of general anesthesia. The choice of the method of artificial abortion depends on whether the stomach hurts after an abortion, the length of the rehabilitation period, the likelihood of early and late complications.
Examination after induced abortion necessarily includes ultrasound control. This allows you to confirm the complete evacuation of the membranes and endometrium, to exclude undesirable consequences of abortion in the form of hematomas, perforation and endometritis.
Prediction
Can anembryony recur? Can I still have children? These questions concern all patients who have undergone this pathology. Fortunately, in most cases, the condition does not recur, the woman subsequently manages to safely become pregnant and bear the child. But at the same time, she is classified as a risk group for the possible development of complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, in the first trimester, she is usually assigned dynamic ultrasound control of the development of the fetal egg, determination of the hormonal profile and assessment of the state of the hemostasis system.
Pregnancy after anembryos is theoretically possible already in the next ovarian-menstrual cycle. But it is desirable to let the body recover. Therefore, it is recommended to start planning for re-conception not earlier than 3 months after the induced abortion . If it proceeded with complications, the rehabilitation period, while maintaining reproductive rest, is extended for up to six months. If a woman has chronic endometritis and various infections, 2 months after the completion of treatment, a control examination is carried out and only then the possible timing of re-conception is determined.
Barrier method and hormonal contraception are preferred to prevent pregnancy. The selection of funds in this case is carried out individually. Intrauterine devices immediately after a frozen pregnancy are not used in order to avoid the development of endometritis.
Prevention
Primary prevention of anembryonia includes careful planning of pregnancy with a comprehensive examination. If deviations are found, they are corrected. Of course, such preparation does not allow 100% to exclude the possibility of pathology, but reduces the risk of its development.
Secondary prophylaxis is carried out if the woman has a history of spontaneous abortions and anembryos. The first pregnancy with empty ovum syndrome is a reason for a subsequent examination of a woman for infections and hemostasis disorders. When the situation repeats, a genetic examination of the spouses is also shown to exclude anomalies in their hereditary material. In some cases, subsequent conception is preferably carried out using IVF, which will allow the use of preimplantation diagnosis to detect chromosomal abnormalities in embryos.
Anembryony is diagnosed quite often. And, unfortunately, at the present time it is not yet possible to completely exclude such a pathology already at the stage of pregnancy planning. After all, it can develop even in completely healthy and examined patients. At the same time, a missed missed pregnancy does not mean the impossibility of a repeated successful conception; most women after anembryony manage to safely give birth to a healthy child.

A fertilized egg without an embryo is usually found on ultrasound and is a very common condition. According to some reports, the absence of an embryo is diagnosed in 2 out of 10 women who are faced with a missed pregnancy.
Since there is no fetus as such, symptoms typical of early pregnancy disappear – breast swelling, unstable mood, lethargy and nausea. What to do in this case, the gynecologist decides. The choice of treatment method depends on the duration of pregnancy and the state of health of the woman.
What is an “empty pregnancy”
If there is a fertilized egg, but there is no embryo, they speak of a non-vesical drift, which is also called anembryony. The embryo could not be in the uterus initially, or it died for up to 5 weeks. In about a quarter of women, such a pregnancy ends in a miscarriage or freezes.
Slightly more than half of the cases are due to spontaneous uterine cleansing: this should occur within 2 weeks after the detection of anembryony. Otherwise, fragments of the fetal egg must be removed medically or surgically.
An empty amniotic egg must be removed no later than 2 weeks after its discovery. If it remains in the uterus after this period, there is a high probability of complications and bleeding. For a more detailed consultation, please contact our doctors – they will give all the necessary recommendations by phone and answer all your questions.
Why the ovum is empty: reasons
It is rather difficult to establish the exact cause of anembryonia, it is determined taking into account the existing symptoms and the results of the examination of a pregnant woman. The culprits of this phenomenon can be various factors associated with the characteristics of the mother’s body.
The greatest risk of pregnancy fading occurs in the early stages, when the blastomeres are just beginning to divide, and the embryo is attached to the wall of the uterus.
There are several reasons why an embryo does not develop in a fetal egg:
gene mutations that do not depend on the genes of the parents;
endometrial diseases of an atrophic, inflammatory nature;
defects in the structure of the reproductive organs of the mother;
violation of blood clotting;
too tight fixation of the embryo in the uterus;
weak local immunity of the myometrium;
a disorder of the contractile function of the uterus due to improper metabolism and chronic inflammatory processes in the uterine tissues;
folate deficiency.
Gene mutations
This is the leading reason why the gestational sac is empty. Chromosomal abnormalities can appear at different stages:
When an egg is fertilized by two sperm.
During further cell division.
The risk of gene mutations increases with a woman’s age.
Endometrial diseases
The absence of an embryo in the fetal egg may be associated with chronic endometritis and the syndrome of regenerative plastic insufficiency of the endometrium. A chronic inflammatory process leads to changes in the work of local immunity, which reduces the susceptibility of mucous membranes.
In addition, with sluggish and prolonged inflammation, erythrocytes stick together in the developing chorionic villi, which ultimately leads to the formation of mini-thrombi.
Defects in the structure of the reproductive organs
We are talking about congenital or acquired structural features due to polyps, fibroids or synechiae. Such diseases are accompanied by hormonal imbalance and changes in the receptivity of the endometrium.
Bleeding disorder
The embryo may die in the early stages of gestation due to lack of nutrition during the formation of blood clots in the intervillous space, when thrombophilia develops for various reasons.
Embryo too tight
Excessively deep implantation of the embryo occurs in 2 cases: if it is actively growing, and the uterine myometrium is not sufficiently prepared for implantation of the embryo, or if the endometrium is functionally immature.
Weak local immunity
The reactivity of the myometrium is one of the possible reasons that the fetal egg turned out to be without an embryo. It persists in the uterus due to an insufficient immune response, which normally causes the embryo to be rejected as a foreign body.
Contractile function disorder
An empty fetal sac is not rejected in some chronic pathologies of the uterus, accompanied by a violation of the formation of receptors for substances that stimulate uterine contractions (uterotonic). Very often, the contractility of the uterus falls due to improper interstitial metabolism.
Folic acid deficiency
This acid is a direct participant in the process of division of cellular DNA. If it is not enough in the early stages of gestation, the chromosomes diverge and arrange themselves incorrectly.
Pregnancy without embryo: species
A fetus without an embryo is of 2 types:
On ultrasound, the embryo is not visible, the fetal sac measures a maximum of 2.5 cm, the volume of the uterus corresponds to 5-7 weeks, which is not consistent with the date of actual conception. Subsequent studies on an ultrasound machine do not record an increase in the uterus.
The fetal egg is empty, its size and volume of the uterus correspond to the gestational age. However, the fertilized egg grows, but the embryo does not.
Empty ovum after IVF
Embryo resorption is possible after in vitro fertilization, in which several fetal eggs (PY) are implanted into the woman’s uterus. This increases the chances of successful conception.
As a rule, only one embryo takes root, although sometimes 2 or more embryos are implanted in the wall of the uterus. However, not all of them continue to develop, some of the fetal sacs are absorbed or excreted from the body naturally.
Signs of an empty gestational sac without an embryo
In the absence of a fetus, there is a regression of symptoms typical of early gestation – nausea, pain in the mammary glands, sleep problems, etc. The woman feels like before pregnancy and ceases to react sharply to smells, and also loses her recent craving for a certain unusual food.
Case study:
The woman had no doubt that she was pregnant, and experienced symptoms typical of her condition – nausea, engorgement of the mammary glands, and tightness of the abdomen. When the symptoms suddenly disappeared, she did not attach any importance to this. On a planned ultrasound, the doctor saw an empty fetal egg at 6 weeks and prescribed the necessary treatment.
However, the fact that there is no toxicosis and other symptoms does not unequivocally indicate an empty fetal egg or the absence of an embryo. Similar signs can be with a frozen pregnancy.
But if the decay of the tissues of the embryo begins, then there are pronounced symptoms of intoxication:
rise in temperature;
nausea turning into vomiting;
body aches;
weakness;
lower abdominal pain;
bleeding of varying intensity.
The onset of embryo rejection can be suspected by the appearance of vaginal discharge mixed with blood.
Complications
If the uterus does not contract well, or there are problems with blood clotting, bleeding begins. By itself, it is not capable of stopping, the help of a doctor is needed. In addition, bleeding can cause infection of the uterine cavity and anemia.
In some cases, the fertilized egg decomposes asymptomatically, or the process causes mild discomfort. Empty amniotic membranes spontaneously separate from the endometrium and leave the body naturally.
But more often, an amniotic egg without an embryo remains in the uterus and provokes serious complications that often threaten health and even life. If left untreated, chronic endometritis can develop.
Anembryony is sometimes complicated by infertility and miscarriage in the future.
If the gestational sac continues to grow for 2 weeks or more, the inflammation symptoms described above occur. We advise you to contact our doctors, since the inflammatory process can spread to the entire uterus and nearby tissues. By phone, the doctor will give recommendations and instruct about further actions.
Fetal egg without embryo: diagnostics
An empty egg during pregnancy is detected by ultrasound. Ultrasound allows you to detect the presence of an embryo for a period of 6-7 weeks, before it is not visualized due to its small size and literally merges with neighboring structures.
Therefore, sonography is performed at 6-7 weeks and confirms (or refutes) the fact of conception. Up to this point, the presence of the embryo is determined by the level of hCG – human chorionic gonadropin.
Case study:
The woman, suspecting pregnancy, passed the test for hCG. Its level was increased and amounted to 50 mU/ml. However, ultrasound revealed the absence of an embryo in the egg. A re-examination 2 weeks later confirmed the diagnosis of anembryony.
HCG is called the hormone of pregnancy, its production starts 6-7 days after the attachment of the chorion – the fetal membrane of the embryo – to the uterus. In normal pregnancy, the concentration of hCG increases with the growth of the fetus.
hCG with an empty fetal egg
If there is no embryo in the egg, then the level of hCG, as a rule, grows more slowly or becomes less. This indicator can serve as an indirect confirmation of an undeveloped pregnancy, along with an insufficient content of progesterone in the blood.
HCG values at the lower limit of the norm are the reason for the appointment of ultrasound, since gonadropin is synthesized even in the absence of an embryo. Moreover, its level is usually within the normal range, in contrast to a missed pregnancy with a dead fetus.
Attention! The hCG parameter cannot be considered a reliable diagnostic criterion for anembryony. Therefore, even if hCG is growing, but there is no fetal egg, it is too early to diagnose an empty pregnancy. After all, the growth of the placenta does not stop immediately.
Why does a fertilized egg grow, but there is no embryo in it
The formation of the body of the embryo and its outer membranes begins at the blastula stage. When it enters the uterine cavity, its outer cells produce specific enzymes that partially dissolve the endometrium and facilitate implantation.
After insertion into the wall of the uterus, the embryo, together with the amniotic membranes, develops synchronously with the gradual formation of the placenta and fetus.
With anembryony, a fetal egg grows, that is, only the outer shell that produces hCG. And the embryo either does not form at all, or its formation is completed at the initial stages. This is due to incorrect test data showing the development of pregnancy.
However, after some time, hCG still ceases to stand out and decreases.
What to do if there is no embryo in the ovum
If the fertilized egg does not grow due to the absence of an embryo, it is necessary to artificially terminate the pregnancy. Obstetricians and gynecologists do not recommend waiting until the situation resolves itself, and treat with one of three methods:
Term
Methodology
Peculiarities
Flaws
6-8 weeks
medical abortion
Taking medications – Mifepraston, Misoprazole
After 8 weeks, incomplete rejection of the fetus is possible with the development of complications
Up to 5 weeks
Vacuum aspiration (mini-abortion)
The fertilized egg is pulled out (aspirated) by means of a vacuum pump
There is a risk of incomplete abortion, ultrasound control after the procedure is necessary
6-12 weeks
Curettage (curettage)
The uterine cavity at the site of attachment of the fetal egg is mechanically scraped with an iron curette
The likelihood of serious complications – bleeding, infections, ruptures, perforations of the cervix and uterus
The most effective and safe is medical abortion with the use of drugs that provoke uterine contractions and inhibit endometrial progesterone receptors.
Medical expulsion of the fetus does not damage the mucous membranes of the uterus and does not carry any risks in the future.
Vacuum aspiration can be performed for up to 12 weeks, according to WHO recommendations. However, in Russia, most often it is done no later than 5 weeks.
Rehabilitation
A single case of anembryony does not raise questions and does not pose a danger. However, if it recurs, or the pregnancy is terminated in the early stages for another reason, it is necessary to establish why the embryo does not develop.
For this, a comprehensive examination and rehabilitation treatment is carried out. Basically, women are diagnosed with chronic endometritis, which can have vivid manifestations or be asymptomatic. Therefore, first of all, antibiotic therapy is prescribed.
In the treatment of endometrial diseases, drugs of several groups are also used:
anti-inflammatory;
immunostimulants;
enzymes;
hormones.
Taking combined contraceptives is recommended for 3-6 months in order to restore hormonal levels.
Attention! A new conception should be planned only after a full preconception preparation.
FAQ
Can there be a 15 mm PJ?
+
Yes, it is usually seen at 6.5 weeks. The child develops the brain and nervous system. When the fetal egg reaches 15 mm, facial features, eye sockets, and nasolabial folds begin to form.
Can a fertilized egg grow without an embryo?
+
Yes, this is type 2 anembryony, which can last up to 11 weeks. The size of the egg can reach 5 cm.
What if the fertilized egg is smaller than the embryo? The size of the PY is 2 weeks behind!
+
This is normal, no need to worry. The situation will stabilize after a while, there is no danger to the fetus.
Expert opinion:
A fetal egg without an embryo can be in an absolutely healthy woman. But even in the absence of any pathologies, it is necessary to take a break and resume attempts to conceive a child no earlier than after 2-3 cycles.

Is there a chance to become parents after a “frozen” pregnancy? And is there any way to prevent it? What can be done to prevent something like this from happening again?
Enroll
Non-developing pregnancy is the spontaneous death of the embryo in the womb, which most often occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. There is a risk of fetal death in the second and third trimesters, but it is much lower.
It is the risk of stopping the development of the fetal egg that makes the first 12 weeks of pregnancy the most critical. As a rule, the woman herself does not immediately understand what happened. The first signs of the freezing of the fetal egg can appear only 2-3 weeks after the tragedy, when it begins to be torn away from the uterine mucosa. The fetal egg can leave the woman’s body on its own, but in some cases, part of the fetal membranes remains in the uterus.

Frozen pregnancies – why pregnancy does not develop. Bokach Olga Mikhailovna
Hello. Everything was great with my first pregnancy, a healthy girl was born, but 2 months. ago I had a frozen pregnancy, how to avoid all this in the future? I just can’t stand another test like this. Advise how we should be, we really want a boy.
Dear Elena, first of all – in no case do not give up new attempts to get pregnant and give birth. Based on 19 years of experience in gynecology, I can judge that an undeveloped pregnancy, as a rule, is followed by a new one, which ends with the birth of a long-awaited baby. This is also proved by medical statistics – about 80% of patients after an undeveloped pregnancy safely bear and give birth to healthy children.
The main thing you need to do is to undergo an extended, thorough examination to find out the reason that caused your fetal growth to stop. You and your husband need to be tested for infections, visit a gynecologist, urologist, endocrinologist. Our Center accepts all these specialists, and all of them are experienced doctors with high qualifications, “armed” with the latest diagnostic equipment and technologies. They will certainly help you not only to detect and eliminate the cause of fetal death, but also give recommendations on planning a new pregnancy.
For those who take a responsible and serious approach to pregnancy planning, our Center has developed a special program “I want to become a mother!”, which includes consultations with an obstetrician-gynecologist, a wide range of tests and smears, ultrasound of the pelvic organs and mammary glands, colposcopy – one in a word, everything to assess the readiness of your body for such an important stage in the life of every woman. Please note that you can start planning a new pregnancy no earlier than 6 months after the termination of the previous one. Well, of course, I wish you that your dream comes true and that you give birth to a healthy boy!

School Zones
Bulloch County Schools uses school attendance zones and school transportation zones to determine where a child will attend school. For your convenience, we have provided interactive search engines for both based on your address. To balance capacity at the schools, the school system may adjust an attendance zone or a transportation zone. These are always communicated first to affected families and then to the public.
What is an Attendance Zone?
Children attend a specific school based on where their parent(s)/guardian(s) live. This is an attendance zone. A child may only attend a school outside of their zone if approved for a public school choice transfer (HB 251) or if the child requires special education services that are not available at their zoned school (SB 10).
What is a Transportation Zone?
Transportation zones are bus routes that deliver children to specific schools. Bulloch County Schools may alter school transportation zones to balance populations between schools. In these instances a child that requires bus transportation may attend a school that is not his/her attendance zone school.
In 2015, Bulloch County Schools did alter the transportation zone for Langston Chapel Elementary and Sallie Zetterower Elementary. If you are new to these schools, check out the Zone Change Notice information below to see if it affects your residential area or contact either school.
In 2018, Bulloch County Schools did alter the transportation zone for Mill Creek Elementary School, and affected students will be moved to either Sallie Zetterower Elementary School or Mattie Lively Elementary School depending on the child’s residence address.
You can use this online tool from the Bulloch County Tax Assessor’s website to find your school zone based on the owner’s name, physical address, lot parcel number of your residence and more. Access Bulloch County Tax Assessor’s website.
Once you have entered the information to search and locate your property and your property information appears, follow these instructions to access your school zone:
Click once on the Layers tab at the top left of the site menu bar to open the layer options.
Click on the “zoning” option from the layer menu.
Check either the elementary, middle or high school box under the school option from the layer menu.
Your attendance zone school name will appear over your property location on the map.
WebQuery helps you determine the available bus stops if you need transportation services. For the eligible middle and high school, be sure to select the grade level.
To find your nearest school bus stops: Click on this WebQuery link. Be sure to enter both your address and the grade level of your child. Once the site determines your school and it appears on the screen, the school’s name is a hyperlink. Click the name of the school to reveal available bus stops in your area for that school.
Bulloch County Schools regularly monitors its school space capacities based on the student populations and the physical classroom occupancy space at each school. As student populations may rise or fall temporarily or permanently in an area, the school system can balance school capacity by either changing school attendance zones (based on residence address) or transportation zones (bus routes). The school system has made two transportation zone changes, and these changes will remain in effect.
2018 Transportation Zone Changes
Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Mill Creek Elementary School’s (MCES) students in 2018. The change will take effect on Aug. 1, 2018. For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children will be transported to either Sallie Zetterower Elementary School (SZES) or Mattie Lively Elementary School (MLES) instead of Mill Creek Elementary, depending on their address. Again, this change only affects students who ride a bus to school. Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools.
Read the full story and see list of affected areas here.
Letter to Families about the change (PDF)
Letter to Families about the change (en Espanol) (PDF)
2015 Transportation Zone Changes
Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Langston Chapel Elementary’s (LCES) students in 2015. This change took effect on Aug. 3, 2015. For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children will be transpored to Sallie Zetterower Elementary School instead of Langston Chapel Elementary School, depending on their address. Again this change only affects students who ride a bus to school. Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools.

SRTS Guide: Around the School
Home > Engineering >
Ideally, the school zone starts at the front door and encompasses the campus and as many blocks as possible that surround the school and have a high concentration of school-generated traffic. Often the school zone includes the streets along the school and usually the area one to two blocks around it. The school zone should be marked with special signing to alert drivers of the high concentration of children. School crossing signs, speed signs, school zone pavement markings and other traffic calming devices remind drivers to treat the area with special care and attention.
Understanding The School Environment
There are generally three zones around the school that you need to think about when doing a Safe Routes to School project: the school enrollment boundary, the school walk zone, and the school zone.
School Enrollment Boundary
The school enrollment boundary is the entire zone around the school from which students are drawn.
School enrollment boundary. Image provided by Dave Parisi.
School Walk Zone
School walk zone. Image provided by Dave Parisi.
The school walk zone is typically a subset of the enrollment zone. School walk zones may be defined by State or Local policy, but if not, a general rule of thumb is that the walking boundary is 1/2 mile or 1-mile out from an elementary school, sometimes further for middle and high schools. The shaded circle on the map above is intended to provide a visual of a “walk zone”, but rarely is the walk zone an exact circle. Some students will live too far away from the school to reasonably be expected to walk, and they are typically provided with bus service. Walk zones defined by policy typically indicate the area within which students are NOT provided with bus service (note that some schools may define this as the no-transport zone, not the walk zone). Determining walk zones, whether policy based or through the general rule-of-thumb, can be helpful in focusing your efforts in identifying engineering problems and solutions.
School Zone
The school zone is the roadway (or roadways) immediately adjacent to the school (shown in red on the map above), usually extending one to two blocks in each direction. Speed limits are often reduced in the school zone during morning and afternoon hours. Special signing is used – crossing signs, speed signs, school zone pavement markings – so that motorists know to treat the area with special care and attention.
Existing Conditions Map
Existing Conditions Map. Swansfield Elementary School, Howard County, MD. Image provided by Jennifer Toole.
Prior to identifying engineering problems and solutions, it can be helpful to have an “existing conditions map” that identifies where existing sidewalks and pathways are located, where crossing guards are located, and where crosswalks and traffic signals are located. Partners in your local traffic engineering department may be able to provide or create such a map. If not, parents and school staff can conduct a simple walk audit of areas in the walk zone to begin to document existing conditions and identify major concerns.
School Traffic Control Plan
Comprehensive traffic control plan for Kyrene Akimel A-Al Middle School in Phoenix, AZ. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.
A comprehensive traffic control plan – like this one – can benefit the Safe Routes to School program. Comprehensive traffic control plans lay out proposed signing and pavement marking measures, taking into account key streets surrounding the school. These school traffic control plans can also be used during annual school checks of signs and markings.
School Zone Signing and Marking
School zone signs and pavement markings provide important information to drivers to improve safety within the school zone. The 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD), Part 7 sets forth principles and standards for controlling traffic in school areas, although many states and local jurisdictions provide additional guidance. The principles and standards in the MUTCD provide information on appropriate design, application, and maintenance of all traffic control devices (including signs, signals, and markings) and other controls (including adult school crossing guards, student patrols, and grade-separated crossings) required for the special pedestrian conditions in school areas [Federal Highway Administration, 2009].
Some jurisdictions recommend or require school signs that are larger than the sizes of signs recommended by the MUTCD or may allow different types of pavement markings. School zone signs and markings on public streets must comply with the MUTCD as well as consider any relevant local or state guidelines that are themselves consistent with the MUTCD. Signs should be used judiciously, as overuse may lead to driver noncompliance and excessive signs may create visual clutter.
Guidelines for making schools accessible to children with disabilities can be found in the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). ADAAG applies to the school site itself whereas PROWAG addresses the route to school. The Department of Justice established the 1991 ADAAG as a standard, which means that compliance is required for all newly constructed or altered school facilities.
Properly designed and applied traffic calming devices encourage good motorist and pedestrian behavior in the school zone. Traffic calming measures such as high visibility crosswalks, street narrowing and signage can be in place all the time. Since school zones are locations frequented by children, making the area safe and accessible for children anytime of day is a sound investment for the community.
Properly designed and applied accessibility improvements, such as curb ramps, accessible pedestrian signals, and accessible sidewalks and pathways are also sound community investments. They benefit not only children with disabilities but also parents with strollers, senior citizens, and others with permanent or temporary mobility impairments.
Methods for addressing bicyclist and pedestrian safety and accessibility within the school zone will be discussed in this section. Topics include:
School Speed Limit Sign
Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign
Changeable Message Sign
Portable Speed Feedback Sign
School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs
Pavement Markings
Parking Restrictions

Oregon, case study.
This diagram from the MUTCD shows typical placement of school advance
warning signs, school speed limit signs, school crossing signs, and “end
school zone” signs.
Treatment: Signing and Marking the School Zone
Description/Purpose
Signs and pavement markings provide important information to drivers
to improve road safety. Examples include retroreflective yellow/green school
advance warning signs and SPEED LIMIT 25 MPH WHEN FLASHING signs.
Marked crosswalks help guide children to the best routes to school.
Expected Effectiveness
The limited empirical evidence suggests that signs and pavement markings
help educate drivers and improve driving behaviors in school zones.
Costs
The cost for signs generally ranges from $100 to $300 per sign plus installation costs (Bushell, Poole, Zegeer, Rodriguez, 2013).
Pavement marking costs vary by type of paint chosen and marking design.
Keys to Success
Schools should develop “safe routes to school” traffic control
plans which include sign and marking recommendations.
Traffic signs
and pavement markings used on public streets and property must comply
with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. See
Chapter 7 of the MUTCD for traffic control used in school areas.
Key Factors to Consider
Signs should be used judiciously, as overuse may breed driver noncompliance
and excessive signs may create visual clutter.
Evaluation Measures
Pedestrian and bicyclist conflicts in School Zone.
School Speed Limit Sign

School flasher speed limit sign at Arrowhead Elementary School in Glendale, AZ. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.
School speed limit signs alert drivers that they are entering a school zone and they need to slow down for school children. The MUTCD provides guidance for installing school area speed limit signs in school zones at a specified distance from marked school crosswalks or a certain distance from the edge of school property. School speed limits vary based on state law and typically range from 15 to 25 mph. These devices are important but should not be overused. Excessive and unreasonable use may lead drivers to ignore the devices. Occasional police enforcement is also needed at these signs.
School flasher speed limit signs are sometimes used on busy streets, where they can help attract drivers’ attention to the school speed limit. School flasher speed limit signs that are activated only during school hours are probably more effective at drawing a driver’s attention compared to school flasher speed limit signs that flash throughout the day [Federal Highway Administration].
Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign
Overhead school flasher speed limit sign at Second Street School in Frankfort, KY. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.
School flasher speed limit signs can be installed overhead for even better driver visibility than side mounted school flasher speed limit signs. The best uses for overhead signs and beacons are at locations where drivers cannot see the marked crosswalk due to topography or other unusual barriers, such as on the crest of a hill or around a curve.
Changeable Message Sign
This solar-powered changeable message sign used in Mill Valley, CA is adjacent to a school and is only operational during the school commute periods.
Permanently mounted changeable message signs are illuminated with messages or speed limits and are used to heighten awareness of speed limits in the school zone or to establish a lower speed during school crossing times. Both solar and non-solar units are available for less than $3,500 per sign (Bushell, Poole, Zegeer, Rodriguez, 2013). While the non-solar equipment is less expensive to purchase, it requires a hard wire connection to a power source, which can be much more expensive.
Speed feedback sign
One type of changeable message sign is a speed feedback sign which shows “Your Speed” and the “Speed Limit” to alert drivers to their actual speed and the posted speed limit. Speed feedback signs can record traffic counts and are programmed via a Personal Digital Assistant. They work best if they flash or provide a SLOW DOWN message if drivers exceed a preset speed threshold. Speed feedback signs still need to be used with other standard speed limit signs, which should be placed in advance of or next to speed feedback signs.
Portable Speed Feedback Sign
Typical portable radar speed trailer.
Portable speed limit signs are movable speed feedback signs that remind drivers of the posted speed limit. Radar speed trailers alert each passing driver to their traveling speed. These machines are used in some jurisdictions along with law enforcement. For example, the signs are put in place, parents are notified that law enforcement will be present, and then officers show up to ticket speeders and drivers who fail to stop for children in marked crosswalks. In other locations, signs are used with no further enforcement activity. Portable speed limit signs are discussed further in Enforcement.
School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs
Example of a school advance warning sign
Example of a school crosswalk sign.
School advance warning signs and school crosswalk signs are important elements of a safe routes to school program. Chapter 7 in the 2009 edition of the MUTCD designates these signs to be used in advance of and at school crossings, and mandates use of fluorescent yellow green color sheeting for all new school warning signs. School advance warning signs must generally be used in advance of the first school crosswalk sign encountered by each direction of traffic. School crosswalk signs shall not be used at crossings other than those adjacent to schools and those on established school pedestrian routes. In addition, the school crosswalk sign shall not be installed at controlled crossings (where vehicle traffic is controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign). The MUTCD and local and state regulations should be followed when considering installation of these signs. They should not be overused or underused; and when installed, they need to be maintained and kept clear of tree branches and other visual obstructions.

Retroreflective yellow-green post covers can be bolted onto sign-posts to draw additional motorist attention to school warning signs. This treatment is permitted in the MUTCD.
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings at Morey Middle School in Denver, CO. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.
Pavement markings, or stencils, are an effective way to enhance driver awareness near schools. They can be used to supplement regulations and warnings provided by traffic signs and signals, or they can convey regulations, guidance, and warnings independently.
The use of pavement markings is governed by the MUTCD and by state regulations and guidance. In some cases, state regulations and guidance may differ from the MUTCD. For example, while the MUTCD requires white crosswalks and stencils, California calls for yellow crosswalks and stencils in school zones. Examples of stencils commonly used in school zones include SCHOOL, SLOW SCHOOL X-ING, STOP, and 25 MPH. Check with your local jurisdiction for guidance.
Stencils should be checked annually. Installing stencils with thermoplastic or other plastic materials may cost more initially, but these materials will last longer than paint and reduce long-term maintenance costs. In areas that receive snow, consideration must be given to the fact that stencils may be obscured by snow during the winter months, and that regular plowing may shorten the lifespan of the marking.
Parking Restrictions

Parking restrictions are needed to regulate parent parking, but care must be taken not to push motorists into adjacent neighborhoods or deny parents appropriate and adequate space for parking and drop-off activities. Curb paint and signs can be used individually or together to help convey messages regarding parking restrictions . For additional information, see Part 7 of the MUTCD.

Project description
The idea of the project is to involve school students in leisure activities by creating a recreation area “Take a break!”.
After the call from the lesson, the guys want to leave the classroom to relax. But in our school there is no place where the guys could usefully spend time during breaks, breaks between classes. Children of elementary grades often just run around, not knowing what to do with themselves, and high school students “sit on the Internet.”
Volunteer group “Recruits” wants to organize a cozy space for schoolchildren to spend their free time usefully: play board games (for children and youth), draw, read an interesting book. The students of our school have won many awards, cups, but they are on the shelf in the office, not even every student knows about their existence. Therefore, we want to place a stand with awards in the recreation corner, which will allow the children to experience a sense of pride in their school and encourage them to new achievements.
Purpose
Creation of a school recreation area “Take a break!” for students of MKOU Novoberezovskaya secondary school.
Relevance
Currently, there is no place in MKOU Novoberezovskaya secondary school where schoolchildren could spend their free time in an organized and useful way. At school, a large number of children spend most of the day, because it is not for nothing that the school is called the “second home”.
To identify the problem, a survey of students was conducted:
– Do you think our school needs a recreation area for students? (yes/no)
– What would you like to do during recess?
Analysis of the results of the survey showed that 100% of respondents (42 people) believe that the school needs a recreation area. And during the break I want to play board games, draw, read books or magazines.
Thus, this problem is relevant.
Tasks
Information campaign
Analysis of available necessary resources and search for sponsors

School comfort zones. House of children’s creativity “Izmailovsky” was overhauled
Maria Shilova
City
September 26, 2022
During a working detour of the Admiralteisky District, Governor Alexander Beglov inspected the building of the Izmailovsky Children’s Art House on Rizhsky Prospekt, where a major overhaul was carried out for several years on behalf of the head of Smolny.
PHOTO of the press service of Smolny
Before the revolution, this building belonged to the Kirshten family, the descendants of the founder of the Skorokhod shoe factory. Built in 1878-1879 by architect Andrei Gun, it has a protected status.
The Unconquered Frontier opened in the Krasnoselsky District
The Izmailovsky House of Creativity will turn 85 in 2023, the institution is one of the oldest in the system of additional education for children in St. Petersburg. Due to the budget of the Northern capital, it is visited by 4.5 thousand citizens from 6 to 18 years old. Classes are conducted in 68 educational programs, including financial literacy, aircraft modeling, computer graphics, robotics, local history, art history, and sports disciplines. The institution also has a military history club. The head of the city handed over to the House of Creativity a certificate for an automatic computer place and tickets for children to the Museum of Russian Railways.
The House of Creativity also occupies a neighboring building – the former mansion of the merchant of the first guild Markus Ziv, built at the beginning of the 20th century, a monument of history and culture of federal significance. According to the governor, it will also be restored: in 2023, the development of design estimates for the restoration will begin.
The mayor also inspected the square next to the House of Creativity, landscaped within the framework of the regional project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment. ” It was included in the targeted program on the basis of the vote of St. Petersburg residents on the Your Budget project.
Alexander Beglov reminded that a program of restoration of squares and gardens is being carried out in St. Petersburg, especially in the central regions. At the time of the start of work, the square on Rizhsky Prospekt was in a state of disrepair, there were no paths, playgrounds, benches, urns, and the fence along Rizhsky Prospekt was lost. Comprehensive landscaping in the park was carried out on an area of almost two thousand square meters. Beautiful lanterns and benches appeared here, lawns were laid out, paved paths were made, a fence was installed, 17 trees were planted and 879shrubs.
Now the work is being completed – the colored rubber coating is being laid. The mayor especially appreciated the restoration of the wrought-iron fence in accordance with the historical original: craftsmen-blacksmiths forged almost one and a half thousand details using hot forging in four months.
Also, during the detour of the Admiralteisky district, Alexander Beglov visited school No. 616, a habilitation center with individual forms of education “Dynamics”. The center was opened at the initiative of parents at 1991 year. Since 1993, an inclusive group of children’s sports dance in wheelchairs “Dynamics” has been created here. Later, a school for disabled children with pathology of the musculoskeletal system appeared on its basis. The building of the center was reconstructed in 2006.
Today, 231 children with cerebral palsy and congenital pathologies of the musculoskeletal system study at the school. Specialist doctors work at the school – an orthopedist, a neurologist, a psychologist, a physiotherapist, and a physiotherapist. Children not only study, engage in creativity and sports, but also receive a full range of medical care.
Last year, when the city project “Your Budget in Schools” was announced, the guys from the Dynamics Center won a grant to create a comfort zone. As a result, a mini-cinema, a play area and a recreation area appeared. Also, last year the school won a grant for the project “Social technologies in school education: a full-time distance model.” Thanks to him, you can now study both in full-time and remote formats.
The school has its own garage for transportation of students. During his visit, the governor gave the school a minibus bought by the city on his behalf to transport children with disabilities.
On the same day, the head of the city visited the blockade teacher Nadezhda Vasilievna Strogonova, who turned 102 years old. On behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, Alexander Beglov presented Nadezhda Strogonova with the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree. On her initiative, a memorial plaque was installed on the house on 6th Sovetskaya Street – during the war years, this place was a school on which a bomb fell, then five teachers died. Recently, at the suggestion of Nadezhda Vasilievna, a monument to the blockade teacher was erected in Salt Lane. According to the governor, a decision was made to erect a monument to the besieged physicians nearby.

School Drug-Free Zone
New York City, Manhattan Drug-Free Zone Sign
United States Federal law and many state and local laws increase fines for illegal drug-related activity by Drug Free School Zones . [1] [2] Penalties differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, depending on whether they are stand-alone or aggravated offenses, and in terms of the remedies available. [3]
The United States Congress supplemented the predicate offenses under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. ‘841) with several additional offenses that carry increased maximum penalties if the offenses were committed under certain specific circumstances. For example, section 21 U.S.C.’860 provides that fines for making, distributing, and possessing with intent to distribute are doubled or tripled if the offense is committed within a certain distance of a school or other facility that is regularly used by children. Per federal law, affected areas may include the illegal sale of federally funded drugs on or within one thousand feet of property, including a public or private elementary, vocational, or high school, a public or private college, junior college, or university, or a playground or a public housing development or within 100 feet of a public or private youth center, community pool, or arcade machine. [4]
In one state, New Hampshire, Drug Free School Zone is defined as the area that includes any property used for school purposes by any publicly funded elementary school, whether or not such school is owned or no, within 1000 feet of any such property and within or in close proximity to school buses . [5]
B No Child Left Behind amended and re-authorized the Safe Schools and Drug-Free Communities Act (SDFSCA) as Part A of 21st Century Schools. No Child Left Behind has funded the SDFSCA program, which is the federal government’s flagship initiative to prevent drug-related violence in and around schools.

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

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
This has been a long time in coming, but I wanted to thank the Bettendorf KinderCare for the great care and early education my son has had since infancy. He is a fine man of 18 now, and I have always said KinderCare made a difference. The staff at the time, Marybeth, Lori, Miss Millie, and all of the others, were amazing. My son’s older sister also turned out smart, social, and well-rounded. My son will graduate May 24th from Bettendorf, #1 in his class. He had a 35 ACT and 1560 on SAT. He had perfect math scores on both exams. He will attend University of Iowa this fall in the honors program with a full tuition, room, and board scholarship. I really have always said it was that I read to him every night, he had natural gifts, and the start he had with love and care from the staff at this center. Thank you!
Luanne – KinderCare Parent
Learning Adventures at Bettendorf KinderCare has been a very positive and encouraging experience for our daughter. Each day that she gets to work with Ms. Kylie, she comes home with information to share and an excitement that we’ve never seen her show for learning before. Personally, we always struggled to get our daughter to sit with us for little lessons at home, but with Learning Adventures, she appears to be very engaged and her confidence has grown.
Clint and Amanda – KinderCare Parent
I wanted to give a most sincere thank-you for all of your help and encouragement of my girls during their first week in the Toddler Classroom. The teachers have been absolutely amazing and they have been so understanding with my girls’ transition. It made it a lot easier on Eric and me. We really appreciate all the extra effort and attention that the staff has been giving the girls to welcome them into the classroom.
Katie – KinderCare Parent
After showing an interest in letters and their sounds, I enrolled my three-year-old son in Learning Adventures. I was debating about whether or not I should enroll him because of his age, but I’m so glad that I did! I noticed an improvement in his Phonics skills within the first few weeks. It’s exciting to watch him sound out letters, and I love to watch the look on his face when he figures out words. I’m so proud of him, but on top of that, I see that he is proud of himself because he has more confidence in his abilities. I like the attention he gets with the small group size, and I appreciate the daily sheets that come home describing both what they learned that day and what I can do at home to continue the lesson. Ms. Kylie is energetic and attentive, and she is an important part of why my son looks forward to his Phonics days.
Elly – KinderCare Parent
Our family was absolutely in love with Kindercare in Bettendorf! The staff and teachers were invaluable to helping our baby grow. As first time parents, we were able to trust that our child would be well taken care of when we dropped her off. The teachers were able to suggest times for starting foods and answer developmental questions. Our baby grew so much in her cognitive and physical skills, as well as in socialization. The program fostered her curiosity and implemented good sleep patterns. We especially thank Ms. Lisa, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Nancy, and Ms. Stausha for their excellent care and loving nature!

FAQs
AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
KinderCare Bettendorf East Programs
Transitional Kindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
If your child finished pre-K but missed the kindergarten cutoff date, transitional
kindergarten is a great stepping stone to big-kid school. Our project-based
learning model emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and creativity.
Kids take lead roles on projects and complete them in small groups.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
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!
Chess Club , Piano Lessons, Guitar Lessons, Book Club, Tutoring
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.

The sitting area provided ample sitting places and was comfortable for visiting. We were able to lay our things out in the bedroom and not have everything in front of everyone. We didn’t use any of the amenities on this trip but front desk help, digital key and all of the business of checking in and out was super easy. The ONLY minor complaint was that there was quite a bit of highway noise and a noisy room near us.

History
Governor John Langdon’s residence, built in 1784.
North Church
In pre-Columbian times, New Hampshire was occupied by the Abenaki Native Americans. The Englishman Martin Pring was the first European to explore and describe the area in 1603. The first British immigrants established the city in 1630 under the name “Piscatacua”. City status granted by Plymouth Council in 1631. The site was later renamed Strawbery Banke due to the wild strawberries that grew along the banks of the Piscataka. The place occupied a position favorable for trade: the port developed in connection with the industry located upstream, with fishing, shipbuilding and timber transportation. In 1632, Fort William and Mary guarded the port entrance. The first African slaves were imported as early as 1645, and the triangular trade was one of the foundations of the city’s prosperity. The city was officially founded in 1653 and was named “Portsmouth” after the founder of the New Hampshire colony who served as captain of Portsmouth Harbor in England. In 1679In the same year the city became the capital of the colony and received Puritan refugees from neighboring Massachusetts. At the end of the Second Colonial War, Governor Joseph Dudley chose her to sign the Treaty of Portsmouth (c), which brought a temporary end to hostilities between the Abenaki and the English settlers. During the American Revolution (1774-1783), the Provincial Congress was moved by order of Governor John Wentworth to the hinterland of Exeter so as not to be threatened by the Royal Navy. In 1800 the Portsmouth Navy Yard was founded, actually located in the town of Kittery, on the other side of the Piscataka. An embargo imposed by President Thomas Jefferson on trade with the United Kingdom in 1807 caused a major economic crisis in Portsmouth. But some residents became wealthy from running during the War of 1812. In 1849In the same year, Portsmouth became City . Like many other American cities, the city was destroyed by several fires during the XIX – th centuries, for example, 244 buildings burned down in 1813 In order to limit the risk of fire, they rebuilt the city in brick with a slate roof. Portsmouth was also renowned for its carpentry skills and the creation of Federal style furniture (Langley Boardman).
During the Industrial Revolution, many New Hampshire waterway towns experienced significant economic development, a period described by Portsmouth writer Thomas Bailey Aldrich. At 19In 05, US President Theodore Roosevelt chose the city’s naval base for the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese War.

50 Simple Alphabet Activities for Preschoolers
You are here: Home / Activities / Learning / Literacy & ABCs / 50 Simple & Fun Alphabet Activities for Preschoolers
It’s almost time for back to school for preschool and kindergarten kids and these alphabet activities will come in handy!
How do you teach the alphabet to preschoolers?!
As a preschooler, I don’t really think a lot is expected for them to know. Some basics are good though, like colors, shapes, numbers and letters.
To refresh my preschooler’s memory of letter recognition in general, as well as knowing the uppercase and lowercase alphabet and getting to know some of the letters sounds, I’ve been collecting ideas for activities that Henry can do to get him back on track of school. (Check some more out my ABC Learning & More Pinterest Board. )
Not to mention it’ll be great to get me back into school mode too!
With any learning activities, it’s very important to not crush your child’s confidence. Build on what they already know and expand slowly. And only go further when they’re excited to learn.
We want our kids to love learning! Not dread it.
So if they’re not excited about an activity, put it away until another day.
The big question then is…
How do you teach alphabets to preschoolers in a fun way?
Here are 50 alphabet activities meant for preschoolers that do just that.
Hands-on activities that have the preschoolers playing and involving their entire body while learning their ABCs.
Without them even realizing that they’re learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet, both the upper and lower case… or their letter sounds.
Let’s get on with it and see how to teach the alphabet to preschoolers in a fun way!

George on the other hand has no interest yet at 22 months so it’s not on our radar.
If you have an eager early learner, these beginning learning letter activities are perfect for toddlers!

17 alphabet games
A rare child gets acquainted with the alphabet only at school. Modern parents strive to show the letters to the baby and teach them to distinguish them as early as possible. How can I do that? Of course, in an entertaining way! Educational psychologist Samira Filatova talks about games for learning the alphabet for preschoolers.
Samira Filatova, teacher-psychologist of the Academic Gymnasium of St. Petersburg State University
Acquaintance with letters
I would conditionally divide all the ways of learning the alphabet into exercises “at the desk” (they are usually given in teaching aids), outdoor games and those that are aimed not only at memorizing letters, but also at developing fine motor skills, creativity, creative abilities. And each child at a different time may come up with all these methods.
The first thing to do to get to know the letters is to hang the alphabet on the wall. Most often, you can find options with the image of objects whose names begin with the specified letter. Better yet, an alphabet with sound effects. It is desirable that not the letters of the alphabet are pronounced, but the sounds that they designate, that is, not “Ka”, but [k]. It is believed that thanks to this approach, it will be easier for a child to learn to read.
So, the acquaintance with the letters has happened, now you can start memorizing them. The game is the best for this. After all, the game is the leading activity in preschool age. Learning through play is effective and, with the right approach, will not tire the child.
At-the-Desk Exercises
You can purchase special manuals, print them off the Internet, or even draw the letters yourself. What kind of assignments can you come up with?
Find the desired letter among other letters . Arrange the letters randomly on a piece of paper. Name any of them, and the task of the child is to find it. It happens that children themselves name the letter they want to find. In this case, do not refuse them.
Find the correct letter in the drawing . The task differs from the previous one in that the letters are, as it were, built into the picture. For example, a house, trees, flowers, swings are depicted. The letter “P” can be window sashes or swings; the letter “M” – grass; the letter “K” is hiding in the branches of trees. A more difficult version of this game is to find objects in the picture that begin with the desired letter.
Find letters of the same color, size, name them. Letters of different sizes and colors are “scattered” on a sheet of paper. The child needs to find all the letters that are the same according to the given criteria and name them. A more complicated option is to change the orientation of the letter in space. Then the variant of the task may be as follows: “Find all the letters that lay on the left side.”
Assemble the letter as a mosaic . Write the letter so that it occupies the entire sheet, color and cut it into squares, triangles, any shapes. You can also entrust this to the baby if he already knows how to use scissors. In this case, you need to make the markup with a dotted line to make it easier for him to cut. The task of the child is to put the letter back from these figures.
What else can you do with letters on paper? Coloring them, tracing them with a dotted line – there are many options for action.
I would also include in this group the game “Memory” , in which you need to find the same letters. You can complicate it: name not only the matching letters, but also the words that begin with them. Picture Lotto is also great for learning the alphabet.
Those who have already mastered the letters can try to start reading. It will be very useful for learning syllables “Cashier of letters and syllables” . You can buy it in the store or print it yourself from the Internet. How to play with her?
Prepare pictures of animals and objects, select cards with letters and syllables and ask the child to match them. In the future, you can complicate the task: give children syllables in the wrong order (for example, “Ka” and “Mouse”, which he must match with the image of a mouse, for this he will have to rearrange the syllables). I would mark this task as one of the most useful. Teachers recommend teaching children not only by choosing the right solution, but also by searching for inconsistencies, inconsistencies, and wrong answers. This develops the ability to analyze, and in the future – the ability to critical thinking.
Creative games that help develop fine motor skills
Here the kid will make letters on his own : sculpt them from plasticine or dough, decorate cardboard blanks with coins, buttons and beads, make crafts from improvised means (designer, twigs, leaves, cotton swabs, sweets ).
Have your child draw letters on the sand (you can use kinetic). Working with sand is useful for the development of fine motor skills, as well as for optimizing the psycho-emotional state. Let the kid choose what he wants to draw. Show by your own example what needs to be done: start writing short words or names in the sand, you can add a beautiful ornament and write the letters themselves in a special graceful handwriting.
Children love to play with magnetic letters . Try leaving short messages to each other by posting them on a refrigerator or a magnetic board, or compete to see who can write the longest word or the most short ones.
You can combine these options: bury plastic letters in kinetic sand, and then, while digging, name them. An “advanced” option is to invent fairy tales about these letters.
Use interactive books in which the child presses on a letter and hears the corresponding sound. But before you bring such a book home, make sure that the sounds in it are pronounced correctly.
Outdoor games
Print letters on sheets of paper and stick them on furniture and walls. The task of the child is to find the letter , which you will name.
Use blocks with the letters that you probably already have in your home. It is interesting to play this game with several children at once: the host rolls a die, and the players name and depict an animal or object with the letter that has fallen out.
I will share my own experience of how I played with my daughters. At first, the girls laid out large 9s in a chaotic manner on the floor.0023 soft puzzles with letters . Then I called them in turn the letters on which they should stand. The one who does not make mistakes wins. This game is also interesting because the letters can be arranged as you like: on their sides, upside down. At the same time, children learn to recognize the outlines of a letter, regardless of its orientation in space.
Whatever games you choose, it is important that they are interesting for the child. If he doesn’t want to play them, gets distracted, you can’t insist. Look for other game options or wait for a more suitable occasion.

How to teach your child the alphabet through games
How to quickly learn the letters of the Russian alphabet with your child? Just invite him to play! The game is the best form of learning for children, where the child is always involved in the process and quickly learns the material. We have prepared for you a selection of 7 simple games for learning letters. Your child will have fun and easily memorize the letters of the Russian alphabet.
1.
Catch game
You will need plastic bottle caps, corrector or nail polish. Write letters on the lids, let dry and you can play.
⠀
With this game, your child will not only memorize the letters, but also practice manual dexterity and play enough with water – after all, all children love to frolic in the water.
⠀
Pour water into any container and put the lids with the letters there. Give the child a spoon or net and let him catch the letters in turn, name and remember.
⠀
If your child does not know a single letter yet, then call the “catch” yourself first and ask the child to repeat.
2. Letter quest
This is an active and very fun game that helps develop imagination and memorize letters quickly. Here, too, there may be different options, depending on your imagination.
⠀
You will need stickers, markers and a primer. Write letters on sticky notes and stick around the house. For example: “K” – on a chest of drawers, “L” – on a spoon, “C” – on a washing machine, etc.
⠀
Then take the primer and show the child the letter to be found. Let him repeat after you and go in search. When the desired letter is found, ask the child to name it again, and then name the object that begins with it.
⠀
For children who already know letters, syllables can be glued at home according to the same principle.
3. Walkers
You will need a blank sheet of paper, a ruler, colored markers and a cube with glasses. Draw a square on the sheet, draw it into 35 small squares. In the lower left corner, write “Start” and draw a line from it with a light felt-tip pen to the “Finish”, which will be in the middle. Then from “Start” to “Finish” write the letters “A” to “Z” in alphabetical order.
⠀
The game is ready. Now take turns throwing a cube with glasses with your child and walk. If the child still does not know how to count, help him, and call the letters that both of you will drop out together.
4. Puzzle letters
Collecting puzzles, children develop logic, attention, memory and imagination. And by collecting puzzle letters, the alphabet is memorized much faster.
⠀
You will need unused cardboard packaging from toys or any other items. Choose with your child suitable large letters on the package and cut them out. Then draw with a marker on the back of the line, so that you get the details of the puzzle and let the child cut it out. The more details you get, the more complex the puzzle will be.
⠀
Then shuffle the pieces and have your child reassemble the letter. And when he collects it, let him loudly name it and the words that he knows with this letter.
⠀
If there are no boxes at home, then just draw a big letter on a piece of paper, color it and also cut it into pieces – the puzzle is ready.
⠀
You can also download our best letter learning games.
5. What letter does it begin with
This game not only helps to learn letters, but also develops logical thinking.
⠀
You will need: any household items and letters of different colors (you can take magnetic ones) or cardboard cards with letters.
⠀
Anything can be taken from items: dishes, fruits, vegetables, clothes, etc. Put all this in front of the child, select the letters you need and put them in a pile next to it.
⠀
Next, pointing to the object, ask the child: “What is this?” He answers: “Bananas”, and you: “What letter do bananas begin with?” If the child answers, ask him to find his letter “B” in a pile and put it next to the bananas.
⠀
Help the child if at first it is difficult for him to find the right letters on his own.
6. What does the letter look like
This game will help the child quickly reinforce each new letter.
⠀
For example, you are teaching the letter “A” with your child. Ask what item it looks like. If he can’t immediately answer, fantasize about this topic together. Ask leading questions and let the child answer. For example: “The letter “A” looks like a tree? Or maybe it looks like a house? etc. Try to play association on the street, where you are surrounded by many different objects.
⠀
If you do not live in a Russian-speaking country, then let the child look for familiar letters in his books.
7. Letters on the walk
Learn the Russian alphabet right on the street. In the fresh air in the game, any information is absorbed faster.
⠀
Everything that is around is useful to you: sticks, pebbles, moss or shells. Write any letter on the ground or sand with a stick and ask the child to lay out the same one next to it. To begin with, you can practice laying out the letters along the drawn outline, and then try to lay them out yourself.
⠀
Do not forget to say all the letters out loud together and move on to a new letter only after the child remembers the previous one.
⠀

And we also want to give your child a very fun and exciting RUSBUKA game right now. Simple and fun exercises will help you quickly learn all the letters of the Russian alphabet, pump your hand motor skills and develop your imagination.

The crushing quest Bay Area parents face for child care
Click here if you are having trouble viewing the slideshow on a mobile device.
While most people are fast asleep, Alexis Gasperecz works the graveyard shift at a homeless shelter for veterans. Around 8 a.m., when her shift ends, she leaves to take care of her children, Brielle, 11 months old, and King, 3, until about 6:30 p.m. when her boyfriend Darrin Davis and his mother return from their jobs for the childcare hand-off. By midnight, it’s time for Gasperecz to go back to work. If she’s lucky, she’s squeezed in three or four hours sleep.
“I’m completely exhausted,” says the 32-year-old mother who lives in Oakland but spends most nights in San Francisco near work at grandma’s house, where her family stays during the week. “As a mother, I feel I have no other choice. My kids need me to provide for them so I do what I’ve got to do.”
Much like the hunt for a place to live in the Bay Area, the search for child care is getting harder as prices rise. Over the past four years, the median cost of childcare in the nine-county Bay Area increased 40 percent, according to research from Oakland’s Insight Center for Community Economic Development. In San Francisco and Marin counties, the median cost rose more than 50 percent.
“It’s much worse than it used to be. It’s a real struggle for families,” says Colette Kudumu, director of compliance for the Community Childcare Council of Santa Clara County, or the 4C Council, a childcare referral agency. “The reality of what many families are facing is a nightmare.”
One East Bay mother searching for childcare said she called 60 places before her daughter was born. A working mom in Walnut Creek said at one point, her nanny made more money than she did. Another quit working altogether because the cost of childcare gobbled up her entire salary.

Gasperecz has been on a waiting list for subsidized childcare in San Francisco for two years. She and her boyfriend can’t afford the market rate, which averages about $1,718 a month for one child in San Francisco, on their salaries, particularly since King is autistic. And she can’t work a day shift, though it might mean a promotion, because she has to watch her kids. Her schedule feels even more crushing because she’s three and a half months pregnant, suffering from nausea and dying for a good long nap.
“It’s tough but seeing those smiling little faces pushes me to do my best,” says Gasperecz. “It would cost our whole paycheck just to pay for childcare.”
In the last few years, as Bay Area real estate has become less affordable, it’s been harder for childcare providers to find spaces to operate. That’s a key reason prices have gone up, experts say. In the last decade, there’s been a 14 percent decline in the number of home child care providers in the Bay Area, according to the California Child Care Resource and Referral Network. Solano County has seen the steepest drop at 34 percent, the group said. Contra Costa County has seen a 27 percent decline.
In 2017, the network said, just 23 percent of children who need childcare in California had a spot available. For infants, who require more care and attention, it’s far worse, with only enough spots for about 5 percent of babies.
Last year, infant care cost $19,212 a year in Santa Clara County and $18,543 in Alameda County compared to a national average of about $9,000 to $9,600 a year, according to Child Care Aware of America. At an average of $16,542 a year, infant care in California costs more than the average annual cost of college tuition at a U.C. school, which is $12,570.
“There is a crisis in childcare,” says Sandee Blechman, executive director of Children’s Council of San Francisco, where 2,500 families are waiting for subsidized care. “Politicians are fretting about the cost of housing, but a lot of people pay more for childcare.”
Tiffany Miller winces at the price of childcare. She finds herself counting the days until her children, Zaashila, 4, and Rio, 19 months, are old enough to go to public school, which will cut down on costs.
“Childcare is a constant and ongoing struggle for my family,” says Miller, a mother of two from Walnut Creek who works full-time in pharmaceutical research. She declined to share how much she spends on care. Her husband works for the Social Security Administration. “Honestly, it blows my mind how much we pay for childcare. Just a few years, ago I was making less than the nanny.”
Lisa Rothman was so stung by the cost of childcare that she put her radio career as an executive producer at KPFA on hold so she could raise her boys, Ezra, 12, and Murray, 10.
“The amount I was going to pay the childcare center equaled my salary,” says Rothman, 46, who lives in Oakland and has turned her parenting adventures into a solo show, “Dragon in the Drop-Off Lane,” at Berkeley’s Marsh theater. “By the time you paid the taxes it was game over.”
Working-class parents must often piece together a patchwork quilt of childcare options that includes family, friends and neighbors. Even if they can afford a licensed childcare provider, that facility can’t always watch their children if they work nights or weekends.
Even parents who can afford to pay find the hunt in the Bay area is long. Meaghan Tiernan of Oakland started looking while she was pregnant with her daughter Avery, who is now 5 months old. She said she contacted about 60 preschools and day care centers. Only 15 responded. Among them: a place that cost $4,000 a month with onsite chefs, organic food and compostable diapers.
“Everything felt extremely competitive,” says Tiernan, 32. “I felt like you had very little time to determine whether you felt like it was a good fit and just wanted to take it because it was there.”
It reminded her a lot of the arduous, stress-filled process of trying to buy a house in the Bay Area.
“It feels like you’re set up to fail,” says Tiernan, a freelance writer.
For Gasperecz, childcare seems out of reach. She is as used to working all night as she is to having her children follow her around all day. But she says the help she gets from family gets her through.
“I know that I can count on Darrin and the grandmas to pick up my slack on days that I just have no energy,” she says. “It’s been a team effort between us since King was born three years ago. It’s kind of just become a way of life.”
Most women brace for having a baby, fearing the blur of sleepless nights and aching muscles to come. Not Gasperecz. She can’t wait to have some family time, having dinner together or tucking the kids into bed.
“I’m looking forward to having the baby so I can catch a break,” she says with a sigh, “and finally get some sleep.”
Correction: Feb. 5, 2019
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that licensed childcare providers do not provide night and weekend care. Many home-based childcare providers do provide extended hours, according to the Child Care Law Center in San Francisco.

Daycare costs exceed college tuition in North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Parents across North Carolina are increasingly faced with tough decisions as the pandemic continues to disrupt child care throughout the state.
Before the pandemic, the Centers for American Progress estimated 42% of children in North Carolina younger than 5 didn’t live in an area with enough child-care options.
“The problems that we have always had in child care have just blown up during the pandemic,” said Shanda Sumpter, an early childhood education project director at NC Child. “North Carolina parents do not have enough choices for affordable child care.”
A quarter of parents surveyed in December 2020 said they could not find affordable childcare, according to a report from the North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation.
“Programs and classrooms are closing, the pipeline for teachers is collapsing because they can earn more working at Target, believe it or not, and all those things mean fewer choices for parents and fewer childcare options that they can afford,” Sumpter explained. She said around 80% of programs in the state are reporting a staffing shortage.
Decreasing providers make options for care limited and when there are options, the cost can be astronomical.
A study from the Economic Policy Institute estimated child care for infants averages $9,480 a year or nearly $800 a month. The cost is slightly less for older children. The Economic Policy Institute estimated average costs for toddlers in North Carolina are around $8,000 a year.
The ABC11 I-Team compared these prices to tuition at top state universities and found these costs are higher than many institutes predicted annual tuition.
North Carolina State University estimates tuition for the year costs around $9,130. In-state tuition for students at UNC Chapel Hill costs around $8,992 a year, according to US News. North Carolina Central University’s annual tuition is around $6,584. At East Carolina University, in-state students pay around $7,317 a year for tuition.
North Carolina isn’t the only state seeing this trend. The Economic Policy institute found child care is more expensive than tuition in 33 states. The institution estimates if the state capped costs so families only paid 7% of their income it would save around $5,500 per family annually.
Last year, North Carolina Justice Center reported North Carolina families with young children spent about a quarter of their income on child care.
Wake County resident Sarah Brady was a nanny for many years and recently became a mother. She said it’s not feasible for her to return to any other job but being a nanny.
“If I’m going to go back to work, child care is almost the only option there, because we wouldn’t be able to afford child care for me to go back to working in nonprofit again,” Brady explained.
She said after leaving the field to do nonprofit work she started being a nanny again during the pandemic when demand surged.
“There has been some shift in people who lost jobs working in child care centers and taking an opportunity to work as a nanny, but even then that hasn’t been enough to take care of the demand,” Brady said.
Brady explained hiring a nanny is one of the most expensive forms of child care but still, so many people are turning to it for personalized care due to decreasing outside options.
Hugh McLean, the vice president of operations at Wake County Boys and Girls Club, said many of the families their organization serves know these challenges firsthand.
“The pandemic has put stress on families that people have never had to live through before,” he said. “In a lot of cases, the Boys and Girls Club has become part of a safety net in the community for families that are either going back to work or they lost their job.”
The Boys and Girls Club serves kids 6-18 years old for only $7.50 a year. McLean explained while it costs the club around $750 per kid, they are able to keep costs low because of consistent community support.
“We think we’re a great option for families because what we offer in the club, we have wonderful staff at all of the clubs, and it becomes, I think, maybe, an option that families maybe hadn’t (heard) before,” McLean said.
While his club offers affordable options, it doesn’t serve younger kids whose care often costs the most.
The state does have a child care subsidy program that helps parents cover the cost of care. The program currently serves around 58,000 children. However, state and federal funding is unable to meet the needs of all families in the state.
Around 11,600 families are on waitlists for child care subsidies across the state. This number is 42% lower than the more than 22,000 who were on the waitlist in June.
Wake County mother Cecelia Anderson is one of the families who has been waiting for around six months. She said without the assistance she’s unable to send her three-year-old to daycare.
“Me and his dad, we work different shifts,” Anderson explained. “When he’s at work I’m watching the kids, sometimes my employer lets me bring them.”
She said without subsidy she’s unable to afford care and is hoping to be approved in time for summer.
Lawmakers did allocate more than a billion dollars of COVID-19 relief money to child care centers across North Carolina. In October, the state announced $800 million would be used to support families and help centers recruit and retain staff. Still, Sumpter said this won’t solve everything.
“Those were one-time dollars and now those funds are gone. So we need sustainable ongoing investments from our elected officials to bring down the cost of child care so that families can work and kids can get the high quality, early care, and education that they deserve,” she said.
This isn’t just an issue that impacts individual households, a 2020 study estimated inadequate child care costs North Carolina about $2.4 billion from family income to business and tax revenue.
For parents seeking care, Sumpter recommends reaching out to their county’s department of social services to see if they qualify for child care subsidies. She also suggests parents find the Childcare Resource and Referral council in their county to get an idea of all their options.
VA Is One of the Most Expensive States to Raise Kids.
Here’s How Families Cope.
It’s an old saying most of us have heard before: “If you wait to have kids until you can afford them, you’ll probably never have kids at all.” What used to be a playful prod from friends and relatives to convince young couples to get the ball rolling on having children has actually evolved into a serious consideration for families in our area.
Researchers from loan marketplace giant LendingTree recently published an analysis of their research on how much it costs to raise children in America. Drawing on data from several sources, they estimated and ranked the costs for two-earner families to raise a child in each state, considering basic needs such as housing, food, daycare, clothing, transportation, and health insurance. Also considered was each state’s tax credit or exemption for one child.
Of course, every family’s situation is different, so LendingTree’s research offers just one snapshot of what it can cost to raise a child in this area, but the numbers are sobering.
Basic cost for raising a child in the U.S. keeps trending upward, currently averaged at, gulp, $20,152 annually. And that only covers the basics – you’ll have to move that number up if you add the fun things, like summer camp, family vacations, team sports, music lessons, and birthday parties.
Essential costs of raising a child vary by state, but the District of Columbia ranks first as most expensive at a whopping $28,785 annually. Virginia ranks not far behind as the eighth most expensive state, where it costs $23,029 annually.
The biggest difference in cost is related to how much parents pay for infant daycare. In the District of Columbia, parents pay $24,081 per child annually for daycare alone, more than double the national average, and in Virginia, parents pay $14,560. For some, the high cost of daycare is offset by the significantly higher wages professionals in this area enjoy (some of the highest in the nation), but for lower wage earners, it presents an impossible situation.
Working parents typically pay for full-time daycare for five years until the child begins school, but other costs of raising children continue to rise as children get older. LendingTree ranked states by the highest overall 18-year cost of raising a child to adulthood, with Hawaii being first at $281,597, and Virginia being sixth at $225,233.
So, what are parents in Virginia to do?
When the Stork Brings Twins
“Try to live within your means,” advises Maryanna Diaz, a DoD contractor who lives in Brambleton with her husband, Roberto, a Baja Fresh restaurant manager, and their four kids – one boy (9), and three girls (7 and two 21-month-old twins). Between the infant care three days a week, and after-school care for their other children, the Diaz family pays more than $3,000 a month for childcare, which she says is actually a good deal for four children.
“The twins were a complete surprise, so we knew it would be a financial strain,” says Diaz. “I was recently deployed for four months to help pay off debt, and my husband works weekends so he can be home more during the week, while I’m on the opposite schedule.” Diaz says they don’t take elaborate vacations, and they buy most items for the kids, including furniture, on Facebook Marketplace. “It’s hard with this area’s mentality, but don’t go crazy with having to have the big house or keeping up with the Joneses,” she says. “I know many folks are waiting until they are older to have kids, but just know that it will work out if you are diligent and search for ways to cut costs, especially with daycare.”
Avoiding Daycare Altogether
Jackie Baker and her husband, Dave, avoided daycare for their daughter and two sons by being flexible with their careers and housing choices. The Sterling couple began their family in a condominium in Alexandria, but moved to a townhouse in Loudoun County in 2002, because it was less expensive at the time and provided more space. Jackie, a certified teacher, quit working to stay home while her husband worked flexible shifts as a government employee. “I wanted to be with the kids, so we did everything we could to avoid daycare,” says Baker. “We were on a tight budget, and we had only one vehicle.”
When Baker’s children started preschool, she began to work part-time at the preschool, first as a teacher and then as a director. Her husband’s income increased during years of advancement and promotions, and when they were ready to make the move to a single-family home, Jackie returned to teaching with Loudoun County Public Schools. “Older kids come with bigger expenses,” says Baker. “Besides saving and paying for college, the kids need computers, phones, and internet for school, plus putting them on our auto insurance is costly.” She’s also noticed increasing prices in everything from food to clothing, but her kids do take jobs cutting grass and on campus to help. “They all understand the value of earning money,” she says. Should parents wait to have kids? “Probably not,” says Baker, “because it’s going to be more expensive the longer you wait – it’s certainly not going to get cheaper.”
Protecting a Hard-Earned Career
“I did everything right; I checked all the boxes,” says professional certified public accountant Susanna Baxter. “I went to William and Mary, have a master’s degree, and have a great, high-paying job, so it’s incredibly frustrating that my husband and I are working so hard to just get by.” Baxter and her husband, David, who is an active duty Naval officer, live in Ashburn with their two daughters (one 7 months, the other 2 years old).
“Typically it’s the woman who ends up staying home or reduces her career capacity,” says Baxter. “I tried working part time, but when kids are so young, there’s not much of a discount in daycare costs for three versus five days a week, because of the mandatory ratios for that age,” says Baxter. The Baxters were paying more than $2,000 a month for daycare three days a week when she decided to return to work full time. “It’s so incredibly frustrating that daycare costs so much, and I had to change jobs,” says Baxter, who commutes to Tysons daily. “I worked hard and took on debt for my education – I want to be able work doing what I was trained to do, but full-time daycare is costing more than our mortgage.” The family’s solution: they contracted with an au pair who will care for their children while living with the family.
Baxter says she would like to have a third child, but she thinks the cost of daycare makes it too difficult. “It’s not like we’re living lavishly – we live modestly in an average townhouse,” she says. “Everyone should have enough to maintain a sound home with necessary repairs and have a safe car to drive. I’m paying off student loans, too. Plus, it’s difficult to compete and move ahead in your career if you work with people who are moving faster because they don’t have other obligations.” One thing Baker doesn’t skimp on – saving for her girls’ educations. “We don’t even question it – we put that ahead of vacations,” she says. “We don’t want them saddled with that debt.”
The More Kids the Merrier
Sharon Awig is a stay-home mother of seven children (11-year-old twins, 5, 4, 2, 1, and 6 months old, with another one on the way). She lives in Round Hill with her husband, Brian, who works in IT. “Because I stay home, we don’t have daycare expenses, but we buy everything used – including cars, clothes, toys, and furniture,” says Awig. Family outings are always to places that are free or very inexpensive. “We don’t go out to eat a lot, and we try to stick to a budget when buying groceries.”
Awig says the biggest challenge is to not get involved in too many different activities. “It can take up all of your time,” she says. “You just have to prioritize what’s important to you, and try to stay out of debt – don’t focus on keeping up with the neighbors or having the latest clothes, gadgets, or cars.”

The Cost of Child Care in Georgia
By: Economic Policy Institute
Child care in Georgia is expensive.
The average annual cost of infant care in Georgia is $7,644—that’s $637 per month.
Child care for a 4-year-old costs $6,500, or $542 each month.
Child care is one of the biggest expenses families face.
Infant care in Georgia costs $1,030 (15.6%) more per year than in-state tuition for 4-year public college.
That makes Georgia one of 33 states and DC where infant care is more expensive than college.
In Georgia, infant care costs just 21.3% less than average rent.
Annual cost in Georgia
College: $6,614
Housing: $9,707
4-year-old care: $6,500
Infant care: $7,644
Child care is unaffordable for typical families in Georgia.
Infant care for one child would take up 13.8% of a typical family’s income in Georgia.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), child care is affordable if it costs no more than 10% of a family’s income. By this standard, only 37.7% of Georgia families can afford infant care.
Families with two children face an even larger burden.
Child care for two children—an infant and a 4-year-old—costs $14,144.That’s45.7%more than average rent in Georgia.
Child care for an infant and a 4-year-old costs more than rent in 20 out of 23 metropolitan and rural areas in Georgia.
A typical family in Georgia would have to spend 25.5% of their income on child care for an infant and a 4-year-old.
Child care is out of reach for low-wage workers.
A minimum-wage worker in Georgia would need to work full time for 26 weeks, or from January to June, just to pay for child care for one infant.
Yet, child care workers still struggle to get by.
Nationally, child care workers’ families are more than twice as likely to live in poverty as other workers’ families (14. 7% compared with 6.7%).
In 17 out of 22 metropolitan areas in Georgia, more than 90% of child care workers don’t make enough to afford the basic cost of living in their area.
A typical child care worker in Georgia would have to spend 40.4%of her earnings to put her own child in infant care.

Everyone will benefit if we solve this problem.
Meaningful child care reform that capped families’ child care expenses at 10% of their income would expand Georgia’s economy by 1.0%. That’s $4.59 billion of new economic activity.
A typical Georgia family with an infant could save $2,103 on child care costs if we implemented this reform. This would free up 4.4% of their (post–child care) annualincome to spend on other necessities.

what is better to choose and how much does it cost
Tatyana Vinnikova
put the children in and went to work
Even if you have enough money, a state garden can be the best option for a child.
My husband and I have two daughters with a difference in age of just under two years. When the eldest was born, I was on parental leave. In 2018, she turned three years old and went to the state kindergarten. I stayed at home with one youngest daughter – and pretty quickly decided to go to work.
We began to think about where to put the second daughter. Grandparents lived 1000 km from us in the south, and we decided to leave it like that, and not move. They were taken to state gardens only from the age of two, and my daughter was 1 year and 10 months old. And if we had waited, we would have ended up in the short stay group – not for a full day, but for four hours. So the state garden did not suit us.
Only a private kindergarten and a nanny remained. We tried both, but as soon as the daughter grew up to the state garden, we sent her there. I’ll tell you why we decided this way and what were the pros and cons of all three options.
How we chose a private kindergarten
My husband and I were looking for a private kindergarten through Google Maps. In the northeast of Moscow, where we live, there are gardens on every corner. Price, territory, building and license were important for us.
Prices for were on kindergarten websites. A month of stay everywhere cost about 50,000 R. For example, in Sun School – 60,000 R, in Alertum Kids – 55,000 R, and in “Solnyshka” – 45,000 R. In all kindergartens there was also an entrance fee: in the first two – 30 000 R, and in “The Sun” – 50,000 R. He went to stationery, workbooks and gifts for the holidays. And if the parents took the child and canceled the contract, the fee was not returned.
I don’t know why some gardens were more expensive and others cheaper. The programs are similar for everyone: speech therapists and English teachers worked with children everywhere. But the Sun School did not even have its own territory for walking: the kindergarten was on the first floor of a residential building, and the children walked in the yard. And the “Sun” had a huge territory, but staying in it was cheaper. In the end, we chose him.

How to place a child in a kindergarten without a residence permit
On Google Maps, we entered the query “Private kindergarten”. And on the left, they looked at the rating for each option. All gardens received good reviews. Many gardens, like the Sun School, were located on the first floors of residential buildings. Children are taken out for a walk right into the yard, to the city playground. We considered such gardens last. Source: Sun School
Territory and building. “Sunshine” was the first place we went on an excursion: they are offered by all private gardens. And we liked the territory so much that we didn’t go to others. It turned out to be large, with an area of 1 hectare, with gazebos, swings and sports grounds. There was also a garden and a vegetable garden.
The garden was in a separate building, not in the former apartment. We were shown the kitchen, the laundry room, the massage room, the assembly hall, the speech therapist and methodologist rooms, and groups with cute bedrooms. Everywhere was a good repair and a pleasant interior. In addition to toys and books, there were small sofas and armchairs in the groups.
My daughter liked to play in the kindergarten. In groups, there was a nice interior and a lot of toys. Source: Anomir-ru
License. In “Solnyshka” we were shown a license for educational activities – for me it was important. Programs in such kindergartens comply with the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education – federal state standards for preschool education. This means that a preschooler will receive all the necessary knowledge there: learn to draw, sculpt, sing, count, and learn letters. And the leadership of the garden will not exclude some kind of discipline simply because it has not found a teacher.
In addition, licensed orchards can be paid for with maternity capital – I just didn’t know what to spend it on. And if I paid in cash, I could get a tax deduction for education. True, the maximum deduction amount is 50,000 R per year. Therefore, I would return a maximum of 6500 R, that is, 13%. But it’s also nice.

In general, there were no doubts left, and we concluded an agreement with Solnyshko.
Usually, kindergartens post licenses on their websites, in the About Us, Documents or Licenses sections. But if they are not there, you can ask for a license for excursions. Source: Far Far Away Kingdom
How my daughter went to a private garden
Both my daughter and I really liked the private garden. There were excellent conditions, a rich development program and a lot of entertainment. And there was delicious food.
Conditions and food. Kindergarten worked on weekdays from 08:00 to 19:30. State gardens open at 07:30, but work until 19:00, and not all parents manage to pick up their children on time. But here there was no such problem.
Care was taken in the garden that children easily adapt to it. In the first days, I was in a group with my daughter and fed her lunch. As a result, she quickly got used to the garden and did not cry when I began to leave her for a full day.
/list/security-child/
What should be in a safe kindergarten and school
There were 10-12 people in groups. For comparison, there are 25-28 of them in state gardens. We decided that small groups are a plus: caregivers will be able to pay more attention to their daughter. And since there are few children, then the nerves of the educators will be stronger. And so it happened: everyone treated their daughter with kindness and care.
Plus, I liked that after illnesses my daughter was given a massage so that the residual cough would pass faster. They also gave me an oxygen cocktail on a regular basis.
There were five meals a day in the garden. The children were fed meals made from farm products and were given fresh vegetables and fruits every day. I tried pickle, cutlets and vegetable salad: everything turned out to be very tasty. My daughter liked it too: the teachers said that she ate everything. The state gardens also give fruits and vegetables, but I’m not sure if they’re straight from the farms.
Even while eating, children were taught to use not only spoons, but also forks and cloth napkins. In public gardens, children have only spoons on their tables. Source: “Anomir-ru”
Program and entertainment. The garden was licensed, and its program really corresponded to the Federal State Educational Standard. It included reading, drawing, music and everything that children have in state gardens.
Parents of older children said that English, mathematics and literature are also taught here in a playful way, that is, they prepare for school. And there is no English in the state garden. But my daughter was still too young, so she didn’t get into all these classes. With her, they were engaged only in creativity, made experiments with water and helped to observe nature.

There was always something interesting and unusual in the classroom. For example, in music lessons, children played the harp. And besides appliqués, sculpting and classical drawing, there was ebru painting here – these are special paints that are used to paint on water.
Similar Ebru kits were handed out to children in a private kindergarten. Source: “Ozon”
Even in a private garden, not only all-Russian holidays were celebrated – New Year, Maslenitsa, March 8 – but they also came up with something of their own. I remember the “Week of Birds Flying South”: the children made crafts related to these birds and figured out which ones fly away for the winter and which ones do not.
There was also Ecological Week, when children learned how to save nature. Plus, they arranged the “Day of Greece” and the “Brazilian Carnival”. There, the kids tried the national food of other countries and tried on folk costumes. My daughter was delighted.
My daughter also participated in the same celebration. For all events, educators dressed in themed costumes, held games, competitions, and cooks prepared special treats. Source: “Anomir-ru” This is the “Brazilian Carnival” in our group. The children were given masks, and they themselves painted them
Why did I take my daughter from a private kindergarten
My daughter was fine in a private kindergarten. But I hoped that in a small group she would get sick less often, but this turned out not to be the case. I took sick leave every month, sometimes for three weeks in a row.
When my daughter was sick, I paid almost the full amount for the garden. The management deducted only the cost of food from the calculation of 6000 R per month. For example, one day out of 20 days in a month, the daughter was absent on 15. We paid 1,500 R for meals instead of 6,000 R. A 39000 R for garden services was given in full.
45,000 R
we paid for a private kindergarten
State kindergartens are different. If the child does not walk, these days do not need to be paid. And with private ones, how lucky. For example, the children of the editor of this article also went to a private kindergarten. When they were sick, she paid half the cost.
I knew that the contract contained a predatory condition: to pay for the garden almost completely when my daughter is sick. But I did not think that she would get sick so often
By the summer of 2019, my maternity capital was exhausted. I’m tired of endlessly taking sick leave and paying for the garden when my daughter is at home. We decided to take her from a private garden, and the eldest daughter from the public one, and hire a nanny for them for a full day. She would at least sit with them during illnesses.
I tell you what came of it.
How we were looking for a nanny
It was not easy to find a nanny. I’ll tell you how much we were going to pay her, where we were looking for her and by what criteria we chose.
How much we were going to pay. To get an idea of the prices, we studied the ads on the websites of various agencies and “Helper” – this is an aggregator for the selection of domestic staff. And we realized that the price depends on the qualifications of the nanny and her duties.
Qualifications – whether the nanny knows languages, whether she has a pedagogical education, experience working with children and recommendations from previous clients. For example, a grandmother without education or a student who wants to earn extra money in the summer can be found for 20,000 R per month. And an experienced teacher who will teach children three languages will ask for up to 200,000 R.
/watch-my-kid/
Who are babysitters and how to look for them
Of course, the more duties a nanny has, the more expensive her services. The cheapest thing will be a nanny who simply takes the child for a walk and for mugs, feeds ready-made food and monitors the cleanliness in the children’s room. And if she cooks, does laundry, prepares children for school and does homework with them, then her services will cost more.
We were not satisfied with nannies-grandmothers and nannies-students. But we were not going to teach children three languages either. We had three minimum requirements: that the nanny never use moral and physical violence, be responsible for the safety of children, and keep toys and children’s wardrobe in order. We were ready to pay up to 75,000 R per month to a woman who agrees to do this.
This nanny is ready to play the role of a kind grandmother: she promises to sing lullabies and feed delicious pies. But she will not do homework and teach children English. Therefore, an hour of her work costs 100 R, and a month – 16,000 R. And this nanny, although a student, speaks English, can teach chess and plays the piano. She wants to cook meals for the children and do homework with them. Therefore, her services will cost from 1,500 R per hour, and a month of work – 240,000 R. True, if you hire a nanny for a full day, it comes out cheaper. I think this one would take 180,000-200,000 R
Where they searched. My husband and I posted ads on our Facebook pages and wrote that we were looking for a nanny for a full day and five days a week. They did the same in the group of their area. We also watched ads on Avito and Pomogatele – nannies publish their profiles there.
7 services that will help you find a nanny
We also turned to an agency that friends advised us. They warned that if they found a nanny, they would have to pay the agency a commission in the amount of one of her salaries. But this did not frighten us: the main thing was to find a good specialist.
Similar conditions were in our agency. Since we wanted to hire a nanny for a year, we would have to pay a commission in the amount of her monthly salary. Source: Alconti-ru At the request of Nanny in Moscow, Avito issued 338 advertisements. Source: “Avito”
As chosen. A lot of people responded to the ads, and two nannies were offered to us by the agency. Those who definitely do not fit, we swept aside in correspondence. They simply asked: “How can a child be punished?” If the answer was: “No way,” then they were invited to a personal meeting.
There were two such meetings. At the first meeting, it seemed to us that the potential nanny had problems with alcohol. And the other was cute, but we were confused by her advanced age. Still, two babies of three and four years old sometimes required the ability to run fast.
/nanny/
How to find a nanny
As a result, one colleague advised his friend. She worked as a nanny for 20 years, and now she was looking for a new family. We hired her.
How our nanny won us over
I liked that this nanny was recommended by people I know. She was 55 years old and strong enough to keep up with two children.
We met with the nanny and asked her to tell us about herself. It turned out that she is a preschool teacher by education and works with children using fashionable methods. For example, according to Lyudmila Peterson’s mathematical manuals, this is when a child learns to count from the age of three, remembers geometric shapes and important concepts: greater than, less than or equal to, far and close, fast and slow. But most importantly, the nanny promised to play with the children and often walk with them.
We agreed that she would work on weekdays from 09:00 to 19:00 for 75,000 R per month. For processing, we promised a rate of 350 R per hour. Plus, we decided to pay her five sick days a year and four weeks of vacation, if it is at the same time as ours. And give days off during public holidays.
75,000 R
we paid the nanny for a month
We wanted to conclude an agreement with the nanny. The form was Googled and adjusted to our conditions. But at first, the nanny wanted to add some points there and kept putting it off. And then we just forgot about him.
How our nanny worked
Trial period. The first two weeks were probationary. We warned the nanny that there were cameras in the apartment – we had them for a long time, but we did not use them. The nanny reacted normally to this.
At work, my husband and I turned on the broadcast and watched what was happening at home. The girls played, learned to read and write, ate or watched cartoons. When the nanny put them to bed, she read books.
A couple of times we drove past the playground when the children were walking there. And it didn’t seem to me that the nanny was yelling at them or leaving them unattended. In general, we liked everything, and she stayed with us to work.
Daily routine. Nanny’s working day started at 09:00. She would come and feed the children breakfast that I had prepared. And from 09:30 to 11:00 she played and did math and reading with the children. I noticed that the girls quickly learned the letters and began to add syllables.
/babysitter/
“In the office I got three times less”: how much does a babysitter earn
At 11:00 they went for a walk, and at 12:30 they had lunch. I also cooked dinner in advance, and the nanny warmed it up.
From 13:00 to 14:30 the children slept, and then they had an hour of free time: they played or watched cartoons. At this time, the nanny cleaned the nursery and washed and ironed things. Cleanliness and order reigned in the room: it adhered to some kind of Japanese system of storage and cleaning.
At 15:30 the children were having lunch. Sometimes the nanny herself cooked pancakes or pancakes for them. And sometimes she warmed up my food. At 4:00 pm they again went for a walk or the nanny took the girls to circles. At 18:30 the children had dinner, and half an hour later my husband and I were returning from work.
I liked that the children rarely got sick with the nanny: they were no longer in a large team. And during illnesses, I didn’t have to take sick leave – I left instructions, and the nanny gave the children medicines. True, at first she hinted that she preferred homeopathy, but I stopped these conversations.
Related expenses. In addition to the basic salary of 75,000 R, we paid the nanny for processing and bought food for her and the children. In addition, we had to send the children to mugs.
The nanny’s overtime cost 350 R per hour, about 2000 R per month. But I didn’t worry if I got stuck in a traffic jam. Plus, my husband and I began to go to the theater and cinema.
We spent 30,000 R per month on food for the children and for the nanny. And 16,000 R went to mugs. With more expensive nannies, they are not needed: they themselves are engaged in sports and creativity with children. But ours warned that she was not strong in them. Therefore, we enrolled our daughters in fine arts, dancing and music at the nearest educational center. Each lesson cost 500 R, and for two we gave 16,000 R per month.

Why did we say goodbye to
months we have noticed that children do not treat the nanny with warmth. When she came, they never ran towards her, as to our other guests, did not smile, did not look into her eyes.
I started turning on the sound on the video and listening to what was going on at home. It turned out that the nanny puts a lot of pressure on the children when she teaches them to read and count. Although we asked not to run the program: happy and calm children are more important to us.
We also saw that the nanny tends to clean up rather than play with the children. It is clear that it is more pleasant for an adult to collect socks, and not to carry a train. But we wanted the focus to be on children.
And one day the daughter came from a walk with a scratched face. At the same time, the nanny began to tell which grandmothers from the playground had what plans for the summer. We understood that she went there to gossip, and not to look after the children.
At this time, the pandemic began. Under this pretext, we said goodbye to the nanny and paid her two weeks in advance. At first they were going to look for a new one, but they went to the Volga, and then to Krasnaya Polyana. As a result, the children rested, improved their health, and we decided to give kindergartens a second chance.

How much I spent on a child under 5
This time we wanted to take our daughters to the same kindergarten. But the private one went up to 60,000 R per month, and paying 120,000 R for two was expensive for us. Then we decided to send our daughters to a state kindergarten.
How daughters go to the state kindergarten
We applied for “Mos-ra” and enrolled our daughters in kindergarten No. Both were accepted immediately. The eldest gladly returned to the group where she had not gone for a whole year. It turned out that she really missed her friends.
An amazing story 04/08/19
What to do if the child was not given a place in kindergarten
As a result, the state kindergarten became the best option for both children and us. I tell you why.
Green area and good building. Our garden is old and has been operating since 1966, but the building is in good condition, and the groups have been recently renovated. It is not as beautiful as in the paid garden, and there are fewer toys and educational and role-playing games. But overall, it’s clean and nice.
As in the paid garden, the state garden has a large green area. And there are many playgrounds, gazebos and sandboxes on it. Here they are not so chic, but the children still like it.
Groups. Unlike the paid garden, here in groups of up to 30 people. But the daughters still do not get sick so often: apparently, they have grown up and improved their health in the south.
Because there are many children, they quarrel more often. The teacher cannot keep track of when one baby bites another. But if someone does this all the time, then they calmly talk to him and involve his parents.
But all the children are from one district, and not from different ones, as in a private kindergarten. After kindergarten, they meet at playgrounds, shops and cafes, and they love it. It is also important that they go to the same school and the same class. This means there will be less stress.
caregivers work in shifts and I have no idea how they manage. But most importantly, they are friendly. Someone is strict, someone is a friend of children, but there are no inadequate ones. Everyone knows that parents can complain to the Ministry of Education and the teacher will be fired.
Children are sometimes punished, but in harmless ways. For example, once the children staged a flood and a toilet paper festival in the group. For this, they were led around the garden for three laps. The teachers called it a punishment, although in fact the children walk like this every day: they study the plants around the perimeter and breathe fresh air. But it had an effect on the children: everyone understood that they needed to behave well.

Food. If the child is not hungry or does not eat something, the teachers do not force him. But my children like the way they feed in the state kindergarten. For example, at home they do not drink kefir, but there they enjoy it. Perhaps for the company. And recently they said that vegetable stew in the garden is tastier than at home. It’s a shame, but I’m glad they like it.
In general, it did not seem to me that the youngest daughter felt the difference between food in a private garden and a state one.
Communication with the clinic and vaccinations. If a child is sick, information comes from the polyclinic to the kindergarten that he has recovered. It is not necessary to take help. True, perhaps this is only in Moscow gardens: I know for sure that there is no such thing in the region.
The State Garden itself controls the vaccination schedule and Mantoux tests. With the permission of the parents, they are made right in the medical room. And in private, you yourself need to take your children for vaccinations.
Program. The State Garden follows the general program of preschool education. As in private, there is music, physical education, fine arts and natural history. True, no one paints on water with paints.
But there are a lot of additional paid development games right in the garden. For an additional fee, children can go to dance, drawing, judo, chess, gymnastics, English and modeling. It turns out not as profitable as in the house of creativity: here it costs 500 R for 30 minutes of classes, and there – 60. But the children do not need to be taken anywhere separately.

How much does it cost to send a child to chess
My daughters go to dances. We also tried drawing, but this circle is the most popular, and my children are stressed by the crowd. Instead, the eldest is learning chess and going to classes in chemical experiments. And the youngest is doing gymnastics with a ball.
Price and additional costs. I pay 7000 R per month for a garden for two daughters. We do not pay for the days when they are sick. We give another 20,000 R for mugs.
27,000 R
per month I pay for two daughters in the state garden, including circles
As a result, the state garden with circles costs almost four times cheaper than the paid one. That one would cost 120,000 R per month if we take both daughters there. In addition, I would have to pay for mugs in the art house. A nanny would have treated us about the same, taking into account food and mugs.
I am not going to pick up the children from the public kindergarten. For our family, this option turned out to be the best. Even though we came to him when our daughters grew up.
What is better
For the convenience of parents , the best option is a nanny. You don’t need to take sick leave with her, and after work you can safely linger. But it is very difficult to find a good nanny – we did not succeed. In addition, it is unpleasant that a stranger is constantly at home. And babysitting services are not cheap: we paid 75,000 R per month, and this is not the most expensive option.
There are also pluses and minuses for a child with whom a nanny sits. At home, he gets sick less often and learns faster, because the nanny deals only with him. But my daughter was bored without the team, and we made sure that not every nanny will keep children engaged in sports and creativity.
/list/parents-reading/
10 books parents-to-be should read
I think it only makes sense to hire a nanny if your kids get sick a lot. And if you find a person who not only teaches children, but also does not forget to play with them.
For the comfort of children , a private kindergarten is good. There are small groups and unusual developmental games, besides, the child communicates with other children, and does not sit in a social vacuum, like with a nanny. True, friends from the garden may live in other areas and then go to other schools. And in his child he will not know anyone.
But a private garden is a lot of trouble for parents. You need to monitor vaccinations yourself and take sick leave when children get sick. Another private garden is expensive, as is a nanny. We paid 45,000 R per month, but part of the money went to waste when our daughter was sick.
It seems to me that a paid garden is suitable for those who care about a beautiful room and well-groomed territory. And for those who think that drawing and modeling are not enough for a child, but English and playing the harp are also needed.
Golden mean is a public kindergarten. There are large groups, but the child is developed in the same way as in private. Yes, he does not draw on water, but it is still interesting and fun there. In addition, the child gets to know children from his area, and he will have less stress when he goes to school.
The state garden is also convenient for parents: it is cheaper than the private one, vaccinations are monitored there, and there are mugs right in the garden – it is not necessary to take the child somewhere.
The main disadvantage of the state kindergarten is that parents have to take sick leave. But this problem disappears when the child grows up and adapts to the conditions. That’s what happened with us.

90,000 how much does it cost to raise children in Paris. One article

The appearance of a long-awaited child is a significant event for every couple. And concurrently, a good reason to revise the family budget, including a new expense column. The editors of the ZagraNitsa portal found out how much it costs to raise children in Paris now. We share useful information and invite everyone to share their personal experience in the comments
Money is a delicate issue for many, and it is not customary to discuss it out loud. Especially in France, where the financial topic is elevated to the rank of taboo. Yes, and a child is not a car or a pet, in order to openly discuss how much it costs to maintain it per week, month, year … And yet, to help those who are interested in the price of a non-trivial parental issue, we found out how much it costs to raise children for Parisian families.
First expenses: childbirth
Perhaps the main turning point for the family budget of new parents is the day of birth. A new family member appears in the house with his moral and material needs, the bar of which is gradually rising every year. But back to birth. In Paris, as in any other French city, obstetric services are provided in private and municipal clinics. In the latter, childbirth will cost from 3,000 euros in the absence of insurance, in the first, the amount will depend on the class and status of the institution and can range from 10,000 euros to infinity.
The amount will also depend on the cost of the hospital stay. For example, the daily rent of a room at L’hôpital privé d’Antony costs from 175 to 400 euros, and at Maternité de l’Institut Mutualiste Montsouris – 55 euros. Having insurance that covers the lion’s share of medical expenses associated with childbirth can be a real life saver for the family budget.

How much do French parents spend on children?
According to the information compiled by l’Insee staff, the average parental couple in France spends 6,000-7,000 euros per year per child under the age of 16 (about 13% of total income). To be extremely precise, families with one working parent allocate an average of 5900 euros for children’s expenses, with two – 8400 euros per year. These amounts are distributed among the main items of expenditure as follows: babysitting – 3084 euros, clothes – 1217 euros, kindergarten / school + insurance – 1029euro, toys and entertainment – 456 euros, children’s furniture and accessories (playpen, chair for feeding, car seat, etc. ) – from 56 euros.

As for food expenses, the same statistics say that single parents spend around 1,700 euros on grocery shopping, couples with one child under 16 years old – 2,000 euros. But again, these numbers are averages. Every family has a different income and spending situation.
Nursery, kindergarten, school: how much does education and child care cost
Parisian mothers, as a rule, try to get out of maternity leave as soon as possible and are ready to return to society in just a couple of months after giving birth. During the period when the mother spends time at work or is absent for other reasons, the baby remains at the disposal of the nanny or teachers from the nursery, kindergarten. The latter work on a private or public basis, but in any case, the maintenance of the child will be paid. For municipal école maternelle, the amount is calculated based on family income and can vary greatly – from several hundred euros per year or more. As for a nanny, the average price tag for the Île-de-France region over the past 12 months is 8.95 euros per hour.
At the age of six, children begin attending an “elementary” school, which takes place 4 days a week. On Wednesday, children are free from lessons and actively work on their creative development: they change school desks for all kinds of cultural events. Schoolchildren get acquainted with music, painting, history in museums, parks, various circles. The French believe that children should be left room for creativity, and for this they are ready to pay for extra hours of babysitting or find other ways out of the situation.
Additional expenses for looking after a child are also required for the holidays, which happen almost every one and a half months and last for 2 weeks. It is forbidden to leave children under 14 years old in France alone, and therefore parents need to foresee who the child will be with in their absence.
Help for parents: government benefits
As native French, foreigners with a residence permit (other than student visas) have equal opportunities to receive benefits paid by the state. You can apply for them through the National Center for Family Benefits CAF.
For families with many children and low-income families, there are a number of programs to help manage the costs. For example, after the birth of their second child, parents can receive AF assistance (allocations familiales) in the amount of 129 euros per month until his 20th birthday. There is also an allowance for schoolchildren by September 1, called ARS (allocation de rentrée scolaire). Its size is from 360 euros. The final amount will depend on the age of the child.

For single mothers and fathers, the ASF allowance (allocation de soutien familial) is provided, according to which the foundation pays 95.5 euros per month to the parent. Families with many children (from three minors) can apply for a special card for 19 euros, which allows you to travel around the country by SNCF trains with a discount of up to 75%.
For pregnant women, a separate program is provided that helps to purchase everything necessary to care for the baby in the first months.

How yachting is taught. From personal experience.
The author of the article does not insist that
his opinion on the matter is the only correct one.
But it has a place to be.
If you are reading this article, then most likely you want to learn yachting. Maybe even in our sailing school. We are very glad that our regiment (yachtsmen) has arrived.
Our school has prepared many cadets for 7 years. And for us, as a school, this is a very interesting experience. People come to study mainly in 2 cases:
I was at sea with someone, watched what and how, tried to do something, liked it and now there is an intention to systematize some knowledge and (possibly) get a “crust”.
I read, dreamed, watched films and realized for myself – I WANT TO BE A CAPTAIN!
And here there is just something to talk about. The main question that is FREQUENTLY asked in this case is: “when will I get the “rights” and “where they are valid”. Those. from “I don’t know anything about the yacht” to “I’m the captain” there is one obstacle – the lack of a “Navigator’s Certificate”. Those. as soon as the rights are in your hands – you are the captain. De jure – You are right. De facto no. You can convince and explain for a long time about the difficulties and difficulties, but we will go the other way.
There are examples of real people who have been trained in our school, who have achieved something “from scratch” in yachting. And there are examples of those who are not. If interested, read on.
So, the cadet went to classes, went. Practice and theory. He is also interested – he read books and watched YouTube (training videos). And maybe even asked something from the teachers. Or did not ask – due to modesty and intelligence. I studied in silence. Passed the exams and got a “SHORT”! I went on a training trip, followed the captain and listened to what and how. Acceptance of the boat, paperwork, maps, clearing of “jambs”, and without them it does not happen in real life. I came from a hike and realized that everything is clear, but what exactly …. In the course of training on different boats (racing and cruise), he figured out whether he was interested in charter rides or racing. I found 3 more of the same “yachtboats” and began to go to training – ATTENTION – in any weather – on the yacht of interest.
First with the captain. The captain at first continued to tell and show. Then I just watched. How much training this should take depends on personal qualities. When the captain saw that the cadets were coping and would not harm themselves and the BOAT, they were given the boat for independent control, provided that the instructor was on the shore with a walkie-talkie and a boat. In the conditions of the Minsk Sea. And here the Cadet understands everything about himself and the Sea. Something, of course, will break, drown, mow somewhere. But all this is under supervision and on the Minsk Sea, where home is within easy reach. And now, when PEACE AND HIGH sets in, you can go to the serious sea and train there. Again, under supervision. It is advisable to do everything on your own and get a couple or three jambs: a small storm, something to break / fix. And here in this place, when CALM AND BLUE sets in, you can say that your “crusts” will be useful to you to take a boat on a charter and go as a captain. And on board with you, perhaps, will be your family and friends. And it will be SAFE for them. For the sake of this idea, in fact, the article was written.
Or so: I went and studied and realized that I wanted to race on sports yachts. I repeated the path from “I don’t know how to do anything” to the stage of PEACE AND HIGH and…. began to take part in match-races on the Minsk Sea. Monotype yachts, crew change. Participated in all stages of the Sailing Federation Cup – I understood the starting procedure, rounding signs, the route, signals, penalties, and began to observe the tactics and strategy of the races. After the races, it is common for the competitors to discuss “moves” and maneuvers in detail. Participated in the “protest”. Learned to QUICKLY FOLLOW THE CAPTAIN’S COMMAND and, if possible, understand their logic. Began to read. Went to race with an experienced captain. Here in this place I realized that I can race on an equal footing among approximately equal LOVERS OF YACHTING, and not professional athletes (on a salary). Masters of sports and pros can race with masters of sports and pros. New boats with new sails can race the same boats. Charter boats can race with charter boats. And he figured out how to understand which boats he wants to race in the race, and which ones he doesn’t, because it costs other money and efforts.
Or one more thing: I went to school and realized that I wanted to buy a boat. I went the same way to the state of CALM AND BLESS. Studied the issue. I asked the captains who sail various types / classes / sizes of boats what and how. I also studied the issue. How to buy and transport, where, how to store and maintain, WHO WILL look after the yacht all year round, how to load it. What manufacturer and with what “stuffing” the yacht is needed. Bought! And walks!
Or: gathered across the Atlantic. Well, you guessed it about CALM AND KAIF. I began to read a lot and in detail what people write about such transitions. What you need to take, how to prepare, carefully studied the maps, developed route options, got equipment and a companion. I thought it over again. Checked the boat 7 times. Took tools and NZ. I took a means of communication and was puzzled by receiving weather forecasts. Went to Sea.
These are examples of those who have succeeded. There are, of course, other examples. It happens that in the course of training, a cadet understands that training is long, there is a lot of work, the weather is not always suitable for yachting, but you have to walk, and somehow this is not for him. This is normal! That also happens. But he tried and understood what he understood for himself, drew conclusions and … went on to look for what suits HIM.
As you can see, it’s not about the “crusts”. Because it is possible to be an effective team member without them. And you can be a ballast with “crusts”. And the question is, when will I get the “MP” crusts, if a person is still lost on the Minsk Sea, it’s not worth it. Everything has its time. Something like that.
Flight cancellations and huge queues at the airport: how Krasnoyarsk residents are trying to return to Russia | Prospekt Mira
Krasnoyarsk tour operators no longer issue vouchers abroad, and some tourists do not know how to return from foreign resorts.
Many countries have closed the skies for aircraft from Russia. Rosaviatsia in response recommended that Russian airlines suspend international flights.
The sanctions against Russia included a complete ban on leasing foreign aircraft – there is a risk that the aircraft will be detained or arrested. This situation has already happened with a ship that arrived in Dubai from Krasnoyarsk.
For a detailed text about what is happening with Russian aviation, see here.
Alena, a representative of the Meridian tour operator, told Prospekt Mira that all foreign flights on charter flights were canceled from Krasnoyarsk until March 28. Including popular destinations such as Turkey, Egypt and Thailand. Regular flights from the Krasnoyarsk airport have also been temporarily cancelled.
“All scheduled flights have been cancelled. As for charter flights for foreign tours, everything is also canceled, – Meridian explained. – This is due to the fact that there are big risks of confiscation of aircraft abroad. Departures are possible only from Moscow, and then on those airlines that do not have planes on lease, and there are few such airlines.”
The Federal Air Transport Agency reported that flight restrictions would be extended indefinitely. Money for already purchased tours is promised to be returned within a few months. Flights of domestic airlines on the territory of Russia continue.
There were queues for return flights from abroad. For example, the former Krasnoyarsk TV presenter Elena Popenko showed people for registration at the Cancun airport in Mexico. On the footage taken on March 7, you can see that the line stretched along the entire terminal. Popenko wrote that this was the last flight of AZUR Air. Now Elena is already in Russia.
Video: telegram channel “Debutante Ball”.
Several other tourists said that they could not return to Russia. So, Alena Pivovarova, who was in Cyprus, told Yenisei that return flights were either canceled or ticket prices increased.
Sergey Inzhutov from Krasnoyarsk, who was in Spain, told Yenisei that he couldn’t get to Moscow directly, and he had to find routes with transfers.
A representative of the Meridian tour operator added in a conversation with PM that to date, all Krasnoyarsk tourists who flew with the help of the operator have been taken out on charter planes, on the morning of March 10 the last flight from Egypt arrived.
However, problems remain with regular flights. Some tourists who flew abroad on their own are still there. According to the tour operator, this is the most vulnerable category, as airlines have canceled scheduled flights and are not yet refunding money.
The tour operator added that regular outward flights are carried out, but not as often as charter ones. According to the expert, the residents of Krasnoyarsk faced this problem to a lesser extent than, for example, residents of Moscow, who often prefer to travel on their own.
For those tourists who have difficulty returning to Russia, the State Services has created a special feedback form.
