  • More about home based early learning

    Flexibility, comforts of home, nurturing relationships. ..that’s what Barnardos Home Based Early learning is all about.

    Flexibility for families

    Home based early learning offers excellent flexibility for the whole family.

    For children, care in a home setting with one educator and a familiar small group of friends feels like an extension of their own home and day-to-day life.

    For parents, our flexible hours suit shift work or ‘part day’ care is available along with full time care. Plus, you’ll find your educator becomes part of the family – a trusted friend who may be able to offer extra hours, advice or support if needed

    Nurturing care in a home environment

    Home based early learning offers your child learning in an environment like your own home. A dedicated educator cares for no more than four children at any time in their own home. Your child will thrive under the nurturing guidance of their educator and the secure relationships they’ll form with the other children.

    Home based early learning offers your family flexibility, quality early learning and comforting care in a convenient location with over 280 Barnardos Home Based Educators across Aotearoa

    Quality early learning

    There are over 280 Barnardos Home Based Educators across New Zealand. Each one is passionate about providing a loving and safe space for your child’s early learning.

    Home based educators deliver a comprehensive program of early learning experiences – guided by Te Whariki – NZs early childhood curriculum and supported by monthly visits from a Barnardos Visiting Teacher. Their happy and nurturing home environments will inspire, stimulate and empower your child to learn in their own unique way

    Community connection

    Alongside a routine like your child is used to at home, home based early learning educators offer a unique opportunity for community connection. Adventures to local parks and community facilities such as libraries and playgroups are just some of the activities your child will enjoy

    About our educators

    Barnardos Educators all have a few things in common – they’re nurturing, enthusiastic and experienced individuals who share a passion for raising the next generation of Kiwi kids.

     

    Experienced 

    Lots of our educators are parents themselves, have a background in teaching or an interest in helping their local community. To them, this is their passion and career, not just a job. This means your child will benefit from their focus, commitment and energy.

    Educated

    Our educators are encouraged to enrol in the Level 3 Certificate in Early Childhood. In-house learning modules and continued professional development are also offered. Attracting and retaining high quality educators is important to us. Read more about how we invest in our educators.

    Reliable and trustworthy

    The safety and wellbeing of your child is always our highest priority. Our home based educators are carefully vetted through comprehensive selection criteria, interview and reference checking processes and are required to attend an in-depth induction program.

     

    All educators are required to:

    • Hold a clear Police and Children’s Worker Safety check. All members of the educator’s household (17yrs+) also need a clear Police check
    • Hold a current First Aid certificate (renewing every 2 years)
    • Welcome regular (minimum monthly) scheduled and unscheduled visits from a Barnardos Visiting Teacher
    • Have their homes thoroughly checked during Visiting Teacher visits
    • Attend all initial induction and training sessions and attend ongoing compulsory training. This is required to meet the conditions of maintaining their Barnardos Home Based Educator status (which we call a Practice Certificate), and to adhere to the Ministry of Education service regulations and licensing criteria
    • Always adhere to the Barnardos Early Learning policies, procedures and guidelines. Copies of individual policies are available from your educator or by contacting us.

    Fees and subsidies

    We want to make your child’s early learning and care experience as accessible as possible. Childcare fees cover the cost of providing the best quality early learning and care for your child in one of our carefully selected educator’s homes.

    Fees vary by educator, so to find out your local educator’s fees, contact an Early Learning Advisor today. 

    ECE and other subsidies
    Did you know Barnardos Home Based Early Learning is an approved ECE option and you may be eligible for fee subsidies?

    Whats happening

    Learning through play

    Our educators use Te Whariki – NZ’s Early Childhood Curriculum – to weave early learning moments into your child’s day based on their play interests. Every Educator is supported by regular visits for a qualified visiting teacher.

    Nurturing experiences

    Our educators are experienced and enthusiastic nurturers who share a desire to raise the best next generation of Kiwi kids. Your child will benefit from their knowledge and passion while feeling comforted by their home like environment.

    Community connection

    Educators are always on the lookout for ways to encourage your child’s connection to nature, the outdoors and the local community. Excursions to the local library, parks and shops are a treasured part of your child’s day.

    Stay in touch with Storypark

    We use Storypark to record and communicate learning as it happens via photos, video, audio and observations within a secure online environment. Parents and whānau can receive instant feedback and plan new ways to extend their child’s unique interests and abilities.

Authentic Experiences

Home-based Childcare provides real-world interaction and public outings, in a safe and supportive environment, with a person they trust. These experiences are learning opportunities, catered to each child’s interests, giving them the chance to try new things. It is through experiences like these that children grow their social skills and relationships with others.

Authentic Environments

Replicating the comfort and security of home, as well as the routines and values that are built there.

Learn more

Authentic Environments

Home-based Childcare replicates the comfort and security of home, as well as the routines and values that are built there. These environments allow children space and time to be themselves, rather than forcing them to fit in. Providing these environments is especially important during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, as young brains need calm and familiar surroundings to learn and grow.

Authentic Relationships

One-on-one, responsive relationships that provide children with consistency and a go-to person.

Learn more

Authentic Relationships

Home-based Childcare comes from one-on-one, responsive relationships that provide children with consistency and a go-to person. These relationships are built on providing emotional availability, attentiveness and time to each individual child. Science shows that for children’s brains to make the positive connections that build social skills and resilience, these relationships are essential.

Benefits of in-home childcare

  • A warm, nurturing, respectful Educator or Nanny that you’ve personally chosen
  • A healthy and safe environment that’s regularly checked
  • A calm home environment that allows for quiet play and relaxing activities
  • Social interaction in a group size not exceeding four children, as recommended by international research on the benefits of early childhood best practice
  • Participation in all the familiar, everyday routines that your child would do if they were at home
  • Planned activities to enhance the child’s interests and strengths
  • Learning and development according to Te Whāriki principles and the Ministry of Education guidelines.

A relationship-based approach

  • Positive interactions at all times to promote physically, emotionally and psychologically safe environments
  • Developmentally, culturally and individually appropriate experiences with family values reinforced
  • Sensitive and informed guidance, interventions and support
  • Responsiveness to children’s interests and passions
  • Giving children time to explore and complete activities
  • Planning play experiences that are child-led, challenging and meaningful
  • Treating children with respect, dignity and individuality
  • Encouraging children to participate in all play areas and activities
  • Providing boundaries, routines that are clear and consistent, by negotiating with children, and giving children ‘choice’
  • Offering one-to-one support with challenging and complex play activities and learning
  • Non-discriminatory and appropriate behaviour
  • Assuring children appropriate privacy and confidentiality and advocating on behalf of children
  • Valuing diversity.

20 hours ECE

The New Zealand government provides 20 Hours of ECE (Early Childhood Education) to give young children the best possible start in life. This subsidy is vitally important because a quality early childhood education, such as the PORSE programme, builds lifelong foundations for successful learning.

The 20 Hours ECE government subsidy is available for all children aged three, four and five, and enrolled with licensed Ministry of Education Early Childhood Education providers who opt into the 20 Hours ECE programme. This subsidy is not means-tested or calculated on how much you earn, so it’s available to all three to five-year-olds who enrol at PORSE.

If your child is turning three and you’re already part of the PORSE family, you’ll be automatically contacted by our community team about applying for the 20 Hours ECE subsidy. If you’re not currently part of PORSE, we can discuss your options with you during your enrolment. The 20 Hours ECE subsidy ceases when your child turns six or starts school.

Ask about 20 hours free

A commitment to care

The PORSE Philosophy

With over twenty years of experience and learning behind PORSE, we believe in nurturing and educating children within secure, stimulating and positive home-based environments while fostering consistent, connected and supportive relationships between the children, their Educators and their parents.

The PORSE approach to home-based childcare is based on experience and research around the importance of play, learning and development through close child-adult relationships, allowing your child to grow and explore with confidence.

WELCOME TO NURTURED AT HOME

Nurtured at Home started up in 2014, and we’ve been on an awesome ride ever since. From our relatively small beginnings at home to now covering all of Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawkes Bay, Gisborne, Taranaki, Manawatu-Whanganui, Horowhenua, Wairarapa, and Wellington, we’ve stayed true to our Philosophy and Guiding Principles which essentially is to recognise children as our first priority. In addition to this, we strive to provide an exceptional experience for our community of parents and educators, and we would like to thank our community for joining us and continuing to support us.

We hope that for those of you considering becoming part of the Nurtured at Home team, as a parent or an Educator, that you join us and allow us to earn the right to partner with you every day and we welcome you to become a part of our incredible journey.

  1. September 2013

    Nurtured at Home was created with a simple idea of “children are our first priority”. Like most great ideas, this one was thought up sitting at Petra’s kitchen table just out of Tauranga. A significant amount of time was spent creating our policies and procedures to ensure our service was built around quality interactions with children in our care, their families and our Educators.

  2. February 2014

    Petra recognised that quality interactions start with the team of Visiting Teachers and support staff, so made the commitment to employ the very best. This started with Pam Wardrope who leads our BOP team and ensures that everything relating to the quality of our interactions with our children, Educators, and families exceeds Ministry of Education criteria.

    We chose Auckland as our first area to open up, even if this did mean Petra virtually living in Auckland. We were overwhelmed with the response we received and since then we have substantially added to our team and now cover all areas of Auckland.

  3. July 2014

    Moving closer to home, Petra opened up throughout the wider Bay of Plenty region in July 2014. Working from an office down an alley and under the University of Waikato’s Tauranga campus building, this was also our first official ‘home’. We employed our first administrator to support Petra and Pam so they could focus on “children are our first priority”.

  4. January 2015

    Numbers continued to grow in Auckland and so did our team, and we quickly outgrew our two rented offices in Ellerslie. We moved into our current Auckland office in Penrose where we can now accommodate our team, resources and toy library.

  5. April 2015

    Gisborne beckoned us. It wasn’t our intent but a group of Educators heard about what we offered and asked us to meet with them. Over two years later, we have grown tremendously in the area, and those original Educators are still with us.

  6. October 2015

    In 2015, Petra decided she wanted to move her family back to the Waikato so facilitated this by opening up in Hamilton. Really, she wanted to be closer to her son (poor chap) who goes to school in Hamilton. Since then we’ve become a truly Waikato-wide business supported by a wonderful and diverse team of Educators, Visiting Teachers and support staff.

  7. January 2016

    With the rapid growth in Auckland and Tauranga, our miniature office down an alley in Tauranga (although handy to all the shops) had been outgrown and we needed somewhere for our administration team; three sharing a desk was ok if they weren’t in the office at the same time. We also felt that when one had to use the bathroom it would be nice to access this indoors, rather than exit the office, head into an underground carpark using a keypad, wait for access via a huge rolling carpark door, and then head into the far, dark corner. So we purchased a homely property on 15th Avenue to become our BOP office and administrative hub.

  8. June 2016

    June saw us open in the Hawkes Bay. Once again, we were warmly received and we continue to grow and spread throughout the region.

  9. October 2016

    Winners of the Westpac Service Excellence Awards and Finalist in the Supreme Business of the Year Award! This was recognition of all the hard work that our entire team (Educators and staff) put in each and every day to ensure that “children are our first priority”.

  10. March 2017

    You know you’ve purchased far too many vehicles when you appear in a car manufacturer’s magazine. During March, we featured in the Suzuki Life magazine. Why did we pick the Suzuki Swift? Because it matched our “bubbly personality”. Check out the rest of the article here www.suzuki.co.nz/suzuki-life/news/article/nurtured-at-home/527140

  11. July 2017

    We were offered another Homebased service in the Waikato, and subsequently purchased this to complement our existing business in Waikato. Sounds simple, but the effort put in by the wider Nurtured at Home team to bring this all together over a short period of time was incredible.

  12. September 2017

    Our new website is now up and running. We actually thought our old one was still pretty relevant but we like to be innovative and a market leader. We hope you enjoy! If you think we’re doing things well, tell others and if you think we can do things differently, then tell us what and why, and convince us. You may be surprised to know that some of our best ideas haven’t come from us; rather they have come from the communities we operate in.

  13. October 2017

    Nurtured at Home was placed 9th at the Deloitte Fast 50 Awards for the fastest growing company in New Zealand.  The amazing growth was only possible due to all of our staff, Educators, families and whānau as word-of-mouth continues to be one of our best forms of advertising.

  14. March 2018

    We made the decision to purchase a Nanny service based in Wellington, providing Nurtured at Home with an alternative option to quality homebased care and education.  We rebranded the service to Nurtured at Home – Nannies Plus with new logo and website.

    This month also saw us open in the Taranaki region as we had received enquiries over previous months.  Again, we have been warmly received and the region is growing strongly.

     

  15. December 2018

    Over eight days each December, Petra and Aaron travel 2,700 kms and attend 13 children’s Christmas parties across all our regions. Together they love meeting our Educators, families and children and we get to enjoy our very own visit by Santa Clause, Hana Koko.

  16. January 2019

    We just collected our 32nd Nurtured at Home sign-written car this week. We are excited to continue to grow at this rate – that’s 1 new vehicle every two months. As ongoing changes in the homebased sector continue, with services closing, merging or selling, Nurtured at Home has remained a privately owned family-based quality service, focussing on what’s important to us: providing a quality service committed to children being at the centre of every decision we make. Our continued growth is evident of our quality and also our new Suzuki Swift!

     

  17. March 2019

    Today our employees commemorated the tragic events of 15th March with “Colour Your Day”, taking a moment to remember those families directly affected, and we made a generous donation to the fundraising account. Nurtured at Home has also made a donation to St John Ambulance and we would like to acknowledge the amazing work that all emergency services have done to support the New Zealand Police over this time.

  18. May 2019

    Nurtured at Home has opened in Palmerston North! We are pleased to welcome new Educators and families to the Nurtured at Home team.

  19. July 2019

    This month, we celebrated our five-year anniversary at our annual conference. Thank you to all our staff, Educators, families, and whanau, who have supported us.

  20. September 2019

    Nurtured at Home recently added another two cars to its fleet – one going to Wellington and another to Waikato. This brings our total to 34 cars that you will see around the regions.

  21. December 2019

    Aaron and I take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our Educators, Nannies, family/whanau and children, Visiting Teachers and Admin Staff that are a part of the Nurtured at Home team. Without all of you, your dedication, commitment, contribution and continued support of our service, we would not have such an amazing service.

  22. March 2020

    On 25th March 2020, Nurtured at Home joined New Zealand for a nationwide lockdown at Alert Level 4. Petra and Aaron, along with our Visiting Teachers, continued to support our Educators and families health and wellbeing during this time via social media.

  23. May 2020

    As New Zealand moved to Alert Level 2 and ECE services reopened, many of our Educators and families returned to care. Nurtured at Home also started daily online learning activities to support those children and their families who were not yet returning to care.

     

     

  24. July 2020

    We work hard to build relationships with our Educators, Nannies, and whānau. So to make the NZ Herald’s Top 10 list really is a testament to having wonderful Educators and Nannies, a great bunch of Visiting Teachers and Administrators and families that trust all of us to care for their precious children!

     

  25. September 2020

    We took part in the nationwide Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori, Māori Language Moment on 14th September, to celebrate te reo Māori.

  26. December 2020

    As 2020 comes to an end, we want to take this time to thank everyone for their continued support of Nurtured at Home! We work hard to ensure good things are happening for children, and you are all valued as a part of our team.

    We wish you and your family all the very best over the summer season, and a safe and happy holiday if you are heading away for a break – Petra and Aaron.

     

  27. February 2021

    Nurtured at Home first started in Auckland 7 years ago. We would like to ackowledge our Nurtured at Home family for their ongoing support – thank you!

  28. May 2021

    Nurtured at Home welcomes all our Educators, families and whanau from Masterton to our team! We now have Educators available from Auckland throughout the North Island to Wellington.

  29. August 2021

    We’re pleased to announce one of our new chosen charities – Trees That Count! 

    For every new child that’s enrolled in our home-based childcare, we’ll be donating one tree to the Trees That Count initiative.

  30. December 2021

    As 2021 draws to a close, we want to give a special shout-out in particular to our Auckland Educators, families, children and staff – who supported each other through months of restrictions, along with our Waikato team during changing alert levels. We continue to work in partnership as we move into the traffic light system.

    Our dedicated Educator and Nanny Facebook page – started during lockdown in 2020 – continued to offer guidance and support to our community of Educators and Nannies, and we thank everyone for their contribution to the discussions, competitions, and inspiring others.

    We work hard to ensure good things are happening for children, and you are all valued as a part of our team. We wish you and your family all the very best over the summer season, and a safe and happy holiday if you are heading away for a break.

     

  31. February 2022

    With COVID Protection Framework restrictions on homebased playgroups, we’re discovering and exploring more of our local community, parks, nature walks and playgrounds.

     

  32. September 2022

    We introduced the option for families to complete their child’s enrolment online via a secure portal. This is a value-added option suitable for families that may be working fulltime, in the process of moving regions, or would prefer to complete this online. Continuing to provide excellent customer service!

    see what others have to say…

    Our Educator became part of our family and we became part of hers. Her bond with my child was very special and I loved dropping her off there every day….

    Nurtured at Home provides every resource you need and the Visiting Teachers are always supportive and just a phone call away.

    My Educator was amazing with my child; he couldn’t have been in better hands….

    My child felt very welcomed and enjoyed her time with her Educator….

    The staff at Nurtured at Home are very friendly and they make you feel a part of their family….

    As a parent, all you want is for your child to be in safe and caring hands while you can’t be there. My Educator was so loving and gentle; she really cared. This makes all the difference in your transition back into the workforce….

    Wellington Equestrian Camp is a real sports school with professional riding training: dressage, gallop, cross-country are taught here. The Riding Centre, where the Wellington Equestrian Camp operates during the holidays, is the examination center of the British Equestrian Society, competitions, various lectures and demonstration events are held here. This is one of the best riding centers in the UK.

    The center is certified by the British Equestrian Society as an educational sports center. All instructors are British Horse Society qualified and carefully and individually selected to provide the highest level of instruction. The center has more than 100 horses and ponies at its disposal, which allows riders of almost any age, weight and training to be trained in the center. There are 8 training grounds, both indoor and outdoor, including a dressage arena, a jumping arena, a cross-country arena with the ability to change obstacles.

    During the holidays, the school invites young equestrian enthusiasts to take part in the equestrian camp program. Each participant is provided with his own horse or pony for the duration of his stay in the camp, on which he will ride and take care of. From over 50 horses and ponies available at the children’s education center, you will be selected the most suitable for your age and abilities.

    Both beginners and experienced riders are welcome, but children must be able to ride in the saddle and ride at a walk without a lunge.

    Classes are held in small groups, divided according to the abilities of the participants. Each group is formed in accordance with the available skills. The level of preparation is determined at the first lesson on Monday morning. Please note that the group number is not directly related to the level of training and may change in the second or subsequent week, it depends only on the number of children who arrived. The maximum number of students in a group is 8 people, but usually no more than 6.

There is one large bedroom for 20 people, the rest are for 12 or less. Each block has two toilets and two showers. Boys and girls live separately, the camp management places the younger and older children in different bedrooms, not only because the younger ones go to bed earlier, but also because many of the elders’ conversations are not intended for children’s ears.

    The guys live on the territory of the Riding Center itself. Living conditions are quite modest, but if the children are really passionate about horseback riding, then they do not notice it. Each residential block is equipped with a fire alarm. Caregivers are carefully selected and vetted, all are qualified in childcare, safety and first aid and have been vetted by the Bureau of Criminal Records.

After registering for the camp, you will receive a booklet of the store, according to which you can make a reservation, and by the time the child arrives at the camp, everything you need will be available. If you allow your child to purchase something in this store during your stay at the camp, you can give him a credit card with you. Don’t forget to set the limit!

    Telephone

    Camp leaders encourage children to send postcards home. Parents are asked to refrain from calling their child if possible, as experience shows that children adapt better at camp if they are not disturbed by calls, especially in the first few days. It is also difficult to call the child to the phone, as he may be in class in another part of the estate.

    Children have access to a pay phone where they can call you. It is recommended to leave the mobile phone at home, but if the child has brought the phone, it must be deposited at the office upon arrival. The telephone can be used during the lunch break.

    All parents are given a phone number to call the camp and talk to their child when the children are in their rooms, in the afternoon and after dinner. There is also a phone to contact the director during office hours and an emergency phone after hours.

    Don’t worry if your child doesn’t call you! This usually means that he is having a good time and simply forgets to call.

    Birthdays

    If your child has a birthday while at the camp, you can order a birthday cake for him and his friends. The cost is 12 pounds, must be ordered at the time of booking.

    Lost things

    All items must be labeled with the child’s name. The camp is not responsible for lost things, but everything that is found is stored in the camp until the end of the year. Found items can be sent at your expense.

    Discipline

    The camp management makes sure that all children live together, and everyone is involved in the life of the entire camp. Every child should enjoy the holidays. Ridicule, bullying or other anti-social behavior that could spoil the rest of another is strictly not allowed. Experience shows that such problems rarely occur, but please warn your child that if they occur, he should report it to the instructor or caregiver. If a child has reported such behavior to you, be sure to let us know so that we can pass the information on to the camp, and the camp takes immediate action to resolve the situation. The camp reserves the right to send a child home for unacceptable behavior at the expense of parents or guardians and to recover damages, if any. If the child was sent home due to poor behavior, no refund will be given.

    Family life and child care for expats in the UAE

    Until the 1960s, families in the UAE lived according to strict ancient traditions in their way of life. Most of the inhabitants there worked in the pearl industry. The prosperity of the oil industry has since changed their lives in many ways.

    Currently in people at UAE fairly high standard of living. Even though the country has become more Western-oriented, the UAE is still a strict Muslim country, where the inhabitants adhere to ancient fundamental traditions: people pray five times a day and strictly observe the rules of the Koran.

    In the UAE, a family may consist of grandparents, parents, children, siblings, all of whom may live together. The father is considered the head of the family and has most of the power in the family. Although women are highly respected and revered in the home, they usually lead a separate social life from men. So if you are invited to visit a person in their home, you probably won’t see women during the visit.

    The way of life in the UAE can be very different from what you are used to living in other countries. There are many rules that it is important to know and beware of breaking them, for example, a woman cannot hug or kiss anyone except her husband and her sons, it is forbidden to shake hands, and even speak with a woman from a local national family in public. It is recommended to follow these rules, as their violation in the UAE can lead to punishment and even prosecution. Fortunately, people in the UAE are becoming more tolerant of the cultural differences of expats from other countries. However, it will still be better if you know some basic information about Muslim traditions in order to avoid unintentionally breaking them.

    With the development of the oil industry, more and more foreign workers settled in the UAE to work, as a result, more than 80% of the UAE’s population are expats. Many live in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other large cities where the infrastructure is very developed, most of them are employed in the oil and construction industries.

    If you decide to move to the UAE with your young children, then most likely you will need the right child care service. Childcare services in the UAE can be public or private, however, children of foreign nationals can only attend private schools.

    There are many private schools for expat children in the UAE, especially in larger cities such as Dubai. These schools usually follow the curriculum of other countries, for example some international schools follow the British curriculum and some use the American curriculum. They usually take children over three years of age, but many also provide childcare services for children up to three years of age.

    Tuition fees vary depending on your child’s age and the school you choose. Typically, schools in Dubai cost between $5,000 and $15,000. Some schools may charge a lower tuition fee of approximately $3,000, but they may focus more on children from a specific specific background.

    Choice of nursery, kindergarten, child care in the UAE

    Expatriate parents with children too young to enter primary school will find many kindergarten options in Dubai, including Montessori kindergartens. Some popular kindergartens cost almost as much as a regular school and can have a long waiting list, so expats need to sign up and make arrangements for admission to their chosen institution in advance.

    The UAE offers a diversified child education system that includes kindergartens, playgroups, nurseries, etc. Everything is done to provide young children with an exciting and safe environment for social and intellectual development. Children’s institutions are based on a variety of curricula and practices, including Montessori education. Most kindergartens require children to be at least 18 months old. The cost can vary greatly depending on the type of childcare facility and the services offered.

    It is important to learn the specifics of each kindergarten, but most are open for four to five hours in the morning and close in the afternoon. Many allow parents to choose how many days per week their child will attend, allow early pickup, provide lunch, and have additional afternoon programs for working parents. Alphabet Street Nursery

    Expat Schools in the UAE

    The UAE offers a wide range of public and private schools suitable for all culturally diverse populations. Schools provide national and international curricula such as British, American, French, Indian, Japanese curricula as well as International Baccalaureate. Schools provide a wide range of facilities for athletic training, lab work, arts, and daily delivery to class or event venues. Most English-speaking schools begin their academic year in September. In July and August, all schools in Dubai are closed.

    When you first arrive in the UAE, it may be difficult to find a suitable school, so it is better to try to use the recommendations of those who already have experience in selecting a school.

    In the UAE, educational institutions are monitored by The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). The KHDA have outlined the various criteria for institutions, including required documents and entrance examination tests, if any. Regular checks are made and school rankings are compiled and published in daily newspapers and stored on the KHDA website. Every year, KHDA publishes school audit reports. Each school is given one of the marks – excellent, good, satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Choosing a new school for a child is always very difficult, so you can also take into account KHDA reports when choosing. Most expats seek a place in schools that are rated “excellent” by the KHDA. It is worth noting that KHDA has introduced a legally binding agreement that is signed between parents and schools. This agreement outlines the rights and obligations of each party, including refund policies, admission policies, school fees, attendance and punctuality, health and safety policies, transportation to class, and parental responsibilities.

    The most important rule for any family that chooses an educational institution, for example, in Dubai, is to do everything in advance.

    Free local education is not available to expats who are not local residents of the UAE or citizens of neighboring Islamic countries. Thus, private, fee-paying schools are the only choice other than homeschooling (which is relatively rare). In fact, many locals choose to send their children to private schools in Dubai for the international style of education they provide.

    Dubai is developing rapidly, mainly due to economic and political stability in relation to other potentially volatile regions. The KHDA, which regulates schools, estimates that there will be a need for another 80,000-100,000 school places by 2020. Therefore, the competition for each place is very high.

    Many families are unable to place all their children in the same school, some have to take advantage of home schooling until a place becomes available, especially if they apply in the middle of the school year (September to June). New schools are being planned and built all the time. There are also high-profile schools that either create new places or even open additional premises.

    Keeping children out of school to wait for the next school year may not be a good option. KHDA have strict rules about accepting children into a certain age group, and a child who has been out of school for too long may have to go “a year back” to meet these criteria.

    Private and international schools in Dubai

    There are more than 150 private schools in Dubai serving all segments of the population. This is reflected in the variety of curricula implemented by schools. Everyone from Japanese and Pakistani to British and Indian will find a suitable school program for them. By the way, the programs for the last two are the most in demand – these are 31% and 30% of students, respectively.

    Many private schools in Dubai have quite famous names that are borrowed from abroad, such as “Winchester” or “Wellington”. But in almost all cases they have no connection with their foreign namesakes.

    There are many institutions that attract citizens of certain nationalities, such as Canadian, American, French and British schools, while there are also a large number of truly international schools with a huge variety of cultures and nationalities. Many of these schools are preferred by parents who emphasize cultural and national integration.

    The school year starts in late August or early September and ends with a long vacation towards the end of June, when many expats leave the searing heat for cooler summers.

    All but seven of the private schools in Dubai are run for profit by their owners. This means that, to a greater or lesser extent, private schools are firstly big business and secondarily educational institutions – at least that is how some schools are perceived. And given that most schools have between 1,000 and 2,000 students, most schools do not have any of the distinctive character that small schools often have.

    Non-profit schools in Dubai are always in high demand and most of them are rated excellent. These include schools such as Jumeirah English Speaking Schools (JESS), Jebel Ali Primary School, Dubai College, the Dubai English Speaking School (DESS) and its sister high school, Dubai English Speaking College (DESC).

    Academic standards vary between schools, although standards in general are improving all the time. There are a number of schools offering the full International Baccalaureate (IB) degree program which is preferred by continental European families. Many schools in Dubai that have a UK program compare their results with the tables of the best schools in Britain, and it turns out that some schools in Dubai are ahead of the best known British schools.

    While schools in Dubai are considered expensive by many and have seen large price increases in the past, the tuition fees of Dubai’s top schools are actually around 20 percent cheaper than in the UK, although comparisons are difficult.

    Dubai School Standards and Admissions

    Most of the best schools in Dubai provide good teaching and the standards are high throughout. However, many parents believe that with class sizes tending to be larger than in foreign private schools, their children receive less individual attention. There is also high staff turnover, with a clear focus on recruiting recent college graduates who are a more mobile and cheaper workforce but lack experience.

    As a result, many schools do not have the traditional balance of senior and young teachers, although the best schools are able to resist this trend – a professionally managed school that considers staff as its capital and is able to retain teachers for more than one or two years should, of course , be preferable.

    Shortage of school places in Dubai

    Due to the severe shortage of school places in Dubai, if a school placed an expatriate child on a temporary preliminary waiting list at the time of registration, it is important to know exactly how many other children are on this list and have whether their child has a real chance of getting a place.

    Dubai is an environment where families with children are constantly coming and going, and many schools are well above their waiting lists while charging non-refundable fees to be placed on this list, even when they know that there is practically no chance of a real actual provision of space.

    Some schools also have some kind of priority hierarchy, such as holding places in reserve for children of employees of certain companies, children transferring from affiliated schools, or siblings of existing students. And other schools may have a policy of fair admission of any applicant, so it is recommended that you carefully understand this issue.

    Dubai School Admission Requirements

    When applying for admission to the school, you must provide a birth certificate, copies of the passport of parents and students with visa pages, vaccination certificates and a certificate that the child completed the previous year’s education.

    Schools in the UAE for people with disabilities

    Although the government has always supported education for people with physical and mental disabilities, but since most schools for people with disabilities are self-financed and must pay for the hiring of professionals such as special teachers, physiotherapists and psychologists, places are very limited, and usually these institutions are paid.

    Some popular schools have also begun to accept children with disabilities, although this may require providing or paying for a shadow teacher to help the child with his lessons and push him to the same level as other students. Detailed conditions are agreed with each school separately.

    Our culture is an on-demand culture where people want food at any time of the day or night, want services, and want entertainment opportunities.

    THOSE WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A 24-HOUR DAYCARE SERVICE?

    • Those with swing shifts
    • Those who work night shifts
    • Those who work a set schedule, but get off late
    • Those who are on call
    • Those on rotating schedules

    Parenting requires many sacrifices. Oftentimes, they are sacrifices that the parents don’t necessarily want to make, but which they frequently have no choice. With so many places now being open 24 hours a day or being global, there is a need for many to work odd hours. And many of those workers are parents. Sometimes it’s not the parents’ first choice, but it’s out of necessity.

    APlus Early Learning Academy knows that many parents need help when it comes to childcare. Conventional child care does not stay open much past 7 pm, which does not help parents who work jobs that have unusual shifts or who have to work the night shift. We began offering 24-hour daycare for a single mother who had to work the night shift. We are proud to continue to offer our 24-hour daycare services in Marietta for those hard-working parents who need us the most.

    At our 24-hour child care in Marietta, our caring and compassionate staff will go the extra mile to ensure that your child is exhausted from a productive day at school and ready to peacefully sleep the night away. With our wonderful use of the Watch Me Grow app, you can peek in on your little one at any time.

    Our 24-hour childcare center can accommodate most schedules, including if you are a first responder, hospital worker, detective, military, airline employee, or any other on-call or regular night-shift schedule. We will work with you and your needs. Our mission is to ensure your child gets the best child care possible, no matter the time of day or night.

    As a parent, you do your best for your children. You work hard to earn money to give them the things that they need, such as a good home, lots of love, and food on the table and to give them the things that they want, such as a great birthday party to remember and toys to play with. While it’s a good lesson for kids not to get everything that they do want, you still want to be able to give your kids the things you never had as a kid.

    If you are in need of a 24-hour daycare service in Marietta, give APlus Early Learning Academy a call. We will be more than happy to help.

    Round-the-clock kindergartens – evil for children or salvation for parents?

    Hearing this phrase – a round-the-clock kindergarten – many people have an image of almost a concentration camp for children in their minds. Immediately, others begin to condemn parents who advocate such preschools. Like, for whom they gave birth, how sorry for the kids, and so on. Although there has been a kind of such kindergartens for a long time – they are opened right in the apartments. True, illegally, but this does not prevent parents from leaving their children there. A tragedy recently occurred in one of them – a 3-year-old baby died, reports Azattyq Rýhy .

    Not all parents have a regular work schedule. Some work late, some work in shifts, and some have to work multiple jobs to support their families. Often, single mothers find themselves in this position.

    “Statistics show that every year the number of single mothers increases by one and a half times. But such kindergartens are needed not only for them. For example, there was a case when five sisters died due to a fire in Astana. Both parents worked there. In general, in recent years, we have seen a series of cases where parents are forced to work at night or in several shifts, and leave children unattended or trust them to strangers, random people, and this ended in the death of the child, ”says a member of the Astana Public Council, a member of the national Commission on Women’s Affairs under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Karakat Abden.

    Let’s just recall a recent case – in Taldykorgan, a 3-year-old baby died in such an apartment kindergarten. A 25-year-old nanny is suspected of his murder. The mother of the child single-handedly raised two children. That is why Karakat Abden called on the state to help women and open round-the-clock kindergartens.

    “Procrastination in this matter costs the lives of children. Too many things have happened lately. These are ordinary nannies at home. I don’t know why we are so slow and why these tragic cases do not serve as a lesson, but the solution with round-the-clock kindergartens is no longer new and has been sufficiently tested by past generations. For example, in Soviet times, night groups were the norm. Parents working nights or shifts brought their children in on Monday mornings and picked them up on Friday evenings.

    In the evening, nannies read fairy tales to the kids, they give yogurt for the night and everything is fine. Children under the supervision of responsible nannies. After all, this is the best solution than we will lose children at the hands of unprofessional nannies. Therefore, I believe that there is an urgent need to create round-the-clock kindergartens,” Karakat Abden shared her opinion.

    The main reproach concerns, of course, the parents – they say, for the child it will be the strongest stress, and it is better to puzzle relatives, neighbors, grandmothers. But what if there is no one to puzzle? Grandparents may be at an age when they themselves need care. And entrusting the baby to a neighbor or girlfriend is another idea. In this matter, our interlocutor suggested a way out.

    “Parents can be convicted – they say, they gave birth, threw them into a round-the-clock kindergarten, and she lives for her own pleasure. Therefore, I think that these gardens should be provided for six months, until the parents even out their financial situation. This should not be the rule, because for a child, night kindergartens are really stressful. As a mother, I think that this is a forced situation. A forced situation should not be permanent. And there should be such restrictions,” emphasizes a member of the National Commission for Women under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

    In terms of cost, such kindergartens should not cost more than regular daycares, she is sure. After all, these will be the same gardens, but working at night. We just need to add night nannies to the staff.

    “I don’t think it will cost a lot of money, because there is no need to build additional special kindergartens, since these will be the same kindergartens that will work not eight hours, but 24 hours a day. And everyone will be fine. The solution is right in the palm of your hand, it is not complicated and it can be implemented. And I don’t know why they didn’t think of this before. I thought about this before and believed that the Ministry of Education would find a solution on its own. But after the recent events, when a nanny killed a child at home in Taldykorgan, I could no longer remain silent,” says Karakat Abden.

    The main thing is to properly organize the work of such kindergartens in order to exclude an emergency. It is not worth giving the project directly to the private sector. To begin with, it is necessary to “run in” a pilot program in state gardens. To identify, for example, two cities, and, based on their experience, standardize work and scale it up – that is, go to private gardens.

    “We can’t wait any longer. This needs to be implemented urgently. And other ways, except for the night gardens, I do not see. And it is very important before transferring to the private sector, you need to look at the program in public kindergartens. To certify, and only then transfer it to the hands of a private business that runs large kindergartens. And private business, I think, will respond to this initiative.

    Plus there should be strict requirements and controls, given that these are night stay groups. That is, there should be cameras, constant screening. So that mom can see what her baby is doing at any time. He sleeps, eats, plays, that they read him a fairy tale. So that mom can be calm in her heart that her child is under supervision, that he is doing well, ”she said.

    In conclusion, she stressed that the President in his message proposed a very important and necessary initiative – certification of educators, not kindergartens.

    “Remember what preschool teachers were before. They really loved their work, they loved children. To become an educator, how many tests did you have to pass. Therefore, it is necessary to certify not kindergartens, but the employees of kindergartens themselves.

    Now I’m talking about round-the-clock kindergartens. Do not forget that at night the children sleep and they do not need a teacher – they will need a nanny. We need good nannies who will love their job, who will love children, who will feed them with a spoon, who will read bedtime stories and look after the children. I don’t think it would be hard to arrange. It will be necessary to strengthen additional staff who will work the night shift. It is clear that these will be additional nurses, nannies, security,” concluded Karakat Abden.

    Earlier, together with the chairman of the Kazakhstan Association of Continuing Education, Leila Kulenova, we discussed several points regarding the certification of kindergarten teachers – why they should be tested, and not the kindergartens themselves, do we have qualified personnel for the certification itself and how to implement this measure.

    The right to choose. A Swedish kindergarten where pupils are not divided into “he” and “she” Spektr

    Delfi journalist Kristina Khudenko visited a Swedish kindergarten where children are not divided by gender, nationality, religion or other social characteristics. In this institution, educators do not impose traditional views on the family and society, gender models, etc. on children. Many people in Sweden are skeptical about such institutions, but the head of the Nicolaigarden kindergarten in Stockholm, Lotta Rayalin, believes that they are the future.

    “One day they brought us a box containing two dolls with a note: “This is a white boy. This is a white girl. This is the real Sweden! says Lotta Rayalin, head of the Stockholm kindergarten Nicolaigarden. She strongly disagrees with this.

    The future, according to Lotte Rayalin, belongs to gender-neutral pre-schools, in which both the child of four dads and the baby born in a veiled mother who fled from a destroyed village in Eritrea feel comfortable. The Delfi portal visited an unusual kindergarten, where there are always queues. Today there are already six such kindergartens in Stockholm.

    “Hey hey!” – between the pink and blue wooden horses, as if from nowhere, a kind sorceress materializes. It seems that this is how all the fairy fairies of our childhood looked like. Fragile, blond, smiling, with a network of kind wrinkles around her eyes, Lotta Rayalin is listed at number 13 in the list of the most dangerous women in Sweden, compiled by the country’s far-right party.

    Foto Delfi

    Lotta is the ideological inspirer and systematic implementer of the concept of kindergartens, whose pupils “have access to the whole spectrum of life”, and they themselves can “play different roles and be different at different times.” This is how Lotta characterizes his project, which started in 1998 and today has grown to six pre-schools approved by the Swedish Ministry of Education and certified by the LGBT community. Including one garden – according to the Montesorri system and one – for working with refugees. In the next 10 years, according to Lotta, such kindergartens in Sweden will be considered ordinary.

    Foto Delfi

    In the photo: the heroine of the children’s fairy tale Peppilotta Victualia Rulgardina Krisminta Ephraimsdotter Longstocking broke Swedish stereotypes about the distribution of gender roles .

    Kindergarten in a building on Skomakargatan street of the old center spontaneously formed about a hundred years ago. The concept was different, but also very unusual. At that time, mostly poor people lived in the old city, and many women were forced to earn a living by selling their bodies at night. The servants of the Church of St. Nicholas, where the “moths” came to confess, having learned about their concerns for the children, began to look after the babies at night, while the mothers were working – to feed, water, wash, put to bed. This is how the parish night kindergarten arose spontaneously.

    Municipal preschool became more than forty years ago. First – the usual: girls – “squirrels”, boys – “bunnies”. Dolls are cars. Pink – blue. Princesses are Vikings… True, even then everything was not quite like that. Do not forget that immediately after the Second World War, in a Stockholm apartment overlooking Vasa Park, the most unconventional girl in the world was born – the heroine of Astrid Lindgren’s fairy tale “Pippi Longstocking”, beloved by children all over the world. It is no wonder that the indefatigable strongwoman, indomitable dreamer, conqueror of volcanoes and fighter for the truth Pippi (in Swedish – Pippi) has become a symbol of all feminist and human rights movements in Sweden today.

    If you remember the fairy tale, Pippi’s full name is Peppilotta Victualia Rulgardina Krisminta Ephraimsdotter Longstocking. And then it will not seem surprising that the founder of the kindergarten system that breaks the patterns of kindergarten education is called Lotta. Although Lotta Rayalin herself claims that her parents did not think about anything like that. “I was born in the most ordinary family, which was considered traditional – father-mother and three daughters-sisters.”

    Since the age of 20, Lotta has been working as a teacher in kindergartens and schools: “I have experienced all the difficulties of the education system: there is too much aggression, violence and disrespect for teachers. Most conflicts occur precisely on the basis of inequality and the stereotypical understanding of the gender distribution of roles by society . .. “

    After falling out of the system for a few years to “work” as a grandmother, Lotta returned in 1998 with the firm intention of doing things differently: “It was obvious to me that I had to start with the kids. What we are taught in kindergarten and school then goes with us all our lives.”

    Foto Delfi

    “We were born into a society that has different expectations of children depending on whether they are boys or girls. This immediately severely limits them, depriving them of half of the world,” Lotta is sure. And he tries to explain how it works with examples.

    How does society see the typical boy and girl? This is not difficult to understand by going to any children’s clothing store. Typical girly department: light, fitted, with ruffles, ribbons, thin tights, skirts. You can’t climb a tree in this outfit and you can’t play football. It’s just a matter of clothes for boys – dark, non-staining, a little baggy, not restricting movements.

    According to Lotta, in ordinary kindergartens, girls from the age of five know that they should be slim, and boys that they should develop muscles. As a result, the former refuse to eat, the latter get into a fight. A girl has the right to be shy and shy, a boy can be angry, irritated, even wild, but he is not supposed to show fear – he must radiate the ability to stand up for himself. She should be sweet and sweet, he should be strong and cool. She is passive, he is active…

    “In real life this is not always the case! We know very well that women in Sweden can be wild and active – an example of this is Pippi Longstocking. Supporters of traditional education try to give such girls something soothing. And the “too whiny” boy will be told: why are you like a girl! Lotta continues. — I see that not all boys like football. But if a boy goes dancing at the age of five or seven, then those around him will make it clear that this activity is not for real guys. And he will give up what he enjoyed so much.”

    Gender inequality is only a small part of the stereotypes that Lotta destroys. “When we started working, we noticed that all the forms that parents have to fill out say “mom” and “dad,” she recalls. — But not every family has two parents of different sexes. When 20 years ago we were the first to write “parents” in our form, a terrible noise arose. And today in Stockholm this is a common practice.”

    “Our society is changing rapidly. People come from all over the world with their own traditions, stereotypes and vision. There are many single mothers and fathers in the country, there are families with two mothers or two fathers, we have a child who has four fathers: two fathers had a baby, then divorced, and each found a mate. To a child, they are all fathers. No problem! And our brain marinated with stereotypes does not accept this. Fortunately, people change,” says Lotta.

    According to Lotta, a historic change in consciousness occurred when, in 1998, the national curriculum confirmed that kindergartens should give boys and girls equal opportunities for development: “We also have the European Convention for the Protection of Children’s Rights, the Swedish school law that strictly suppress inequality on seven grounds: age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, disability… these are our foundations.

    “I told our teachers: take books on gender equality, read and study,” she said. – For this you will receive a paid day off. Our employees read a lot. But knowledge is not enough. For example, we know that smoking is dangerous, but we smoke. It is important to change something in yourself.

    We try to avoid evaluative stereotypes. Our teachers will never tell a girl: “Oh, what a skirt you have – you’re just a doll!” Rather, they will ask: “I see you like your new skirt? You look so happy in it!” We actively use new messages that are more inclusive than traditional ones. Children can say as they are used to: “he”, “she”, “boy”, “girl” – we do not correct. Teachers, on the other hand, more often address “friends” or by name, and instead of the pronouns “he” and “she”, stuffed with stereotypes, they use the gender-neutral address “hyung”…

    We are always set on positive expectations and do not emphasize the weaknesses of the pupils. After all, children often want to be what we adults expect them to be. Thus, we deprive them of all the opportunities that life gives and do not allow them to be themselves. “

    In addition to working with gender equality, Nicolaigarden pays a lot of attention to emotions – the child is helped to cope with bad mood, frustration and irritation in order to avoid possible violence and conflict, which usually result in unrealized negative emotions. Lotta shows her favorite pedagogical technique – working with puppets. Soft rag dolls “express” different emotions in the form of sad, funny, annoyed emoticons. With the help of “puppet theater” with life scenes, the teacher shows how the conflict can be resolved.0005

    “We see how our daily work helps children to talk to each other if there is a conflict, without bringing the process to a fight or shouting. This is what we, adults, lack so much today,” says Lotta.

    In February of this year, she had a new challenge: “My boss said: 85 refugee families arrived from Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Somalia. Adults need to learn Swedish. But someone should take care of the children at this time,” says Lotta. — I hired a staff. I met with families and honestly told them how we work, using the key word “democracy”. Each of them understood what I was talking about, because in their experience they knew what it means to live without democracy. I won’t say that they agreed with me on everything. But here I have some kind of great power, I can tell them: in Sweden – so. If a boy chooses a bright skirt from a pile of dance clothes, we won’t mind.”

    The new kindergarten has six groups for children and one for parents. Separate apartments have been allocated for them, where kindergarten staff communicate with refugees in their languages, there is a computer, coffee, food, a library, they will always help fill out documents, take a pregnancy test, contact government agencies, get a complete picture of how they live in Sweden. Parents can stay there as long as they need and see how their children feel at any moment.

    Of course, the question immediately arises, how does the new vision of Lotta Rayalin correlate with the centuries-old foundations of Islam, Catholicism or Orthodoxy? “In Sweden, by law, religion is prohibited in educational institutions,” Lotta is not embarrassed. “But since our task is to get acquainted with the culture of Sweden and other countries, then by showing the church building, we have the right to explain what it is and what religion it represents. We can tell that there are different religions, but definitely not highlighting one of them. We are not forbidden to wear a cross or other evidence of religious affiliation around the neck. At the school, teachers have a separate room where they can, if they wish, pray during a break, which is considered unpaid personal time. But that certainly doesn’t bother anyone.”

    In the photo: Lotta Rayalin receives similar messages from opponents of her working methods on a regular basis. Most often – from Russia and Germany.

    Oxford professor Ben Kenward, together with researchers from the Swedish University of Uppsala, carefully studied the methods of work of Lotta and her team, about which they wrote a scientific work. “The professor compared the development of our children and those from ordinary kindergartens. For example, he showed them pictures of other children and asked: “Who would you like to play with?” Our children chose friends based on common interests and activities, and not because there was a boy or a girl, black or white, ”says Lotta.

    Behind the wall of Nicolaigarden is a school, where children flock not only from the neighboring kindergarten, but also from three private preschools in the old town. “This neighborhood allows us to observe our graduates for many more years. School teachers say that the difference between our children and other children is very noticeable. Ours are more self-confident, they know how to constructively argue and defend their rights, they know that their opinion is respected. In addition, they play football and dance regardless of gender. I am sure that in adult life our children will be able to stand up for themselves and do not need hothouse conditions at all,” Lotta believes.

    According to Lotta, her ideas have followers not only in Stockholm. For 10 years they have been cooperating with like-minded people in Italy and Iceland. “In Iceland, there are many schools and kindergartens that promote gender equality. But they still divide classes and groups into boys and girls, with each of whom they work differently. We have a different path,” Lotta notes.

    We tell Lotte about the recent Latvian scandal with the book “The Day Karlis Was Karlina…” recommended for kindergartens and translated from Danish, which was opposed by 54 different public organizations and many deputies of government parties at once.

    Lotta’s revolutionary approach also has many critics and opponents, some of them quite fierce. Some child psychologists doubt the validity of the assumption that gender is a personal choice, believing that doubts about gender can confuse a child and do not provide a solid basis for the formation of personality.

    Lotta has an answer to such arguments: “All girls know that they are girls, and boys know that they are boys. We work not with biological gender, but with social gender. We do not infringe on anyone and do not select anything, but only add. We provide opportunities that make the child more self-confident and aware of the world and society in all its modern fullness.

    According to Lotta, she receives the most indignant letters from Russia and Germany. There is no desire to discuss in these messages by mail and e-mail at all. “They write: ‘We know where you live, where your children go to school…’ For some reason they are sure that we are doing something sexually obscene with our pupils, after which they all become homosexuals. But this is a stupid misunderstanding!” Lotta is outraged.

    Swedish opponents of Lotta protest near the municipality and come to the garden. One day, a derogatory inscription appeared on the entire wall in the neighborhood of the garden; another time, Nicolaigarden employees received a box with two dolls. “They had the imprudence to reveal what was dangerous,” says Lotta. – Inside there were two dolls with inscriptions: “This is a white boy. This is a white girl. This is the real Sweden!“.

    Our tour of Nicolaigarden begins with a wardrobe — at the stand at the entrance there are photos of teachers. “As you can see, all of our employees are of different ages, nationalities, genders, skin colors, religions, etc. This is very good!” Lotta points out.

    Children’s clothes are folded into drawers with rainbow stickers. The rainbow here is one of the main design elements: on the tables, on the floor, on the wall, in the yard… It symbolizes the fullness of the palette of life that kindergarten students see. Children are asked not to take pictures, unless they themselves jump into the frame – then only from the back.

    In general, children are like children: everyone is busy with their own business – who is making an installation with an outlandish animal, who is reading, who is eating. Journalists are taken for granted – one of the scenery changes. I was amazed that one-year-old babies serve themselves – they eat, drink, go for a supplement.

    The kindergarten itself is an intricate system of apartments in one of the multi-storey buildings of the old city with an incredible number of entrances and exits, stairs, the most unexpected interiors and solutions: either a post with horses, or a darkened den with randomly thrown colored pillows, guitars and other tools, something like an art studio… Toys are used in the most bizarre combinations: dolls ride dinosaurs, bears raise baby bournes, elephants ride horses… In general, fantasy is not limited, there are no separate girlish and boyish corners.

    Foto Delfi

    One of the brightest and most spacious rooms is the reading room. There are different books in different languages ​​on the stands. Including in Russian. There are those who meet the traditional division into girlish and boyish. “If traditional books are good, we read them to our children, saying: “Now I will read a fairy tale that is almost a hundred years old.” Children understand that all these princesses and knights existed a long time ago, when everyone lived somehow differently.”

    Still, they prefer fairy tales about Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, for example, a superbly designed book about two giraffes who found a crocodile child abandoned by their parents and adopted him. Remembering the Latvian battles of March 8, we ask the question: “What about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, are your children really deprived of such holidays?”

    “Of course, our teachers do not initiate such holidays, but if children talk about them and want to do something in this direction, no one will interfere with them,” explains Lotta. “But we talk to our kids all the time about how different families can be and that we don’t expect all parents to be traditional.”

    The end of our tour is on the roof overlooking the church. Here, too, everything is equipped for children: a greenhouse where plants and vegetables are grown in small pots, a hill, in the summer a reading room, and sometimes a dining room, migrates here.

    There are 110 children in Nicolaigarden, and a total of 450 in the diocese of Lotta Rayalin. Teachers – at the rate of one for five children under three years old or for seven children three to five years old. The kindergarten is municipal, so the parents’ contribution, by Swedish standards, is purely symbolic – 1000 crowns (about 100 euros). Lotta clarifies that for poor parents, for whom even such an amount is unbearable, everything is free. For example, the government pays for refugees.

    Leaving Nicolaigarden, we are interested: “If the system has so many aggressive opponents, then why there are no guards at the gate – you can enter and exit completely calmly? Are you not afraid? “Because this is Sweden!” smiles calmly Lotta Rayalin, considered by some to be the most dangerous woman in the country.

    • You may have heard about the “Deuce on the Loose,” when Jackson-Olin alum David Palmer lit up the football field with lightning speed for the Alabama Crimson Tide and then for the Minnesota Vikings. Check out this update on Palmer, an All-American from Birmingham City Schools, and an example of the amazing talent birthed in BCS.

      Scientific research is being carried out here. The total amount of grants allocated for university research is 433 million dollars, most of them go to medical laboratories. The university is one of the first places in the United States in terms of research funding. There are prestigious centers for the study of oncology, neuroscience, AIDS, diabetes and other diseases. The Carnegie Endowment has included UAB among fifty US universities known for their research. And The Scientist Magazine ranked UAB 24th in its “Best Place to Study for a Doctorate”.

      The University of Alabama at Birmingham has 12 colleges and schools. Here they study business, education, engineering, arts and humanities, but most of the programs have a medical bias. UAB trains future dentists, ophthalmologists, general practitioners, nurses and healthcare professionals. On the basis of each school there are research centers and laboratories in which students receive practical skills.

      In addition to the standard study programs, the university has four intensive 1-year master’s programs. This is a unique opportunity in just one year (instead of the traditional two years) to become a master in the following areas: biotechnology, design and its commercial application, MBA (with global AACSB accreditation) and Forensics and Cyber ​​Security. By the way, students of the first two programs get the right to work in the US for three years after graduation. Their starting salary averages $9.0,000, and the chance of finding a job immediately after graduation reaches 100%.

      UAB does not have too many international students, so everyone here is treated with special attention. University specialists help them resolve all visa and tax issues, get to know the surroundings of the campus and settle in a new place. Intercultural evenings are regularly held on campus, where students can get to know and understand each other better.

      Birmingham is a great place to start a great career. In the largest city of the state of Alabama, such sectors of the economy as banking, medicine, business and services are actively developing.
