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.
Lexington Knowledge Beginnings Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
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.
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.
Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
“
Knowledge Beginnings is like our family’s home away from home! My son can’t wait to get to his school in the morning and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! All his teachers not only make his day filled with learning and fun, but they also take the time to make him feel special! Thank you Knowledge Beginnings!
”
Trinace N. – KinderCare Parent
“
My son started at Knowledge Beginnings at only three months old, and I can honestly say that there was not one day when I went to work and worried about him at daycare. The sense of safety and trust I felt was such a relief and to this day – five years later in Prekindergarten – I still never worry! Each day when I ask my son what he learned in Prekindergarten, he will astound me with comments such as, “We learned about incline planes, wheels and axles!”; “Did you know that George Washington was a land surveyor?”; and “Today we learned about Helen Keller!” My son’s reading, math, science, and history knowledge is growing daily – much more than if he was just home with me! I am also so grateful to Mr. Kevin for teaching my son to play football, baseball, and soccer. I proudly recommend Knowledge Beginnings to anyone.

Impulse Severa – Pupils of the children’s news agency “Metelitsa” received certificates
For diligence and the ability to learn quickly, the pupils of the children’s news agency “Metelitsa” were presented with real certificates confirming their new statuses of correspondents and operators.
Children’s News is the only project of its kind in the country. Within its framework, kindergarteners can try themselves as a journalist, cameraman, editor and presenter. Now it has become a part of the large city media project YamalClick. Its creators are the Impulse Severa news agency and the city’s internal policy department.
Vladislav Selninov, director of the Impulse Severa news agency, congratulated the kids on their official status.
Today we are convinced that it is possible to engage in journalism from preschool age. We already have a very good result. We actively repost children’s work. We are ready to talk about the activities of the television group of the Metelitsa kindergarten, we are ready to help and support in every possible way. Including consulting in the production of content.
Vladimir Antonov, Head of the Department of Internal Policy of the Administration, noted that in the future, children’s studios could be created in other kindergartens.
Our task is to bring up a good successor. In this regard, it turns out well, in our opinion. I would like to thank Impulse Severa for the work they are doing. The work is colossal. While this is a test version. Let’s see if there are those who wish, we will implement it in other kindergartens. This news, which, let’s say, is served under their “sauce”, in their key, is very interesting.
The Sozvezdie kindergarten, where Metelitsa is temporarily based, has its own media studio. Everything here is like on real TV. There is a chromakey background. News releases are written on it. The ring lamp replaces the studio light and is quite sufficient. Instead of a professional camera, a phone with a tripod. There are 10 people in the group in total.
Ekaterina Yudnikova, mentor of the Metelitsa children’s news agency, spoke about the first successes of the children’s studio.
We already have four editions of our children’s news. It all started last year. At first, we didn’t have a clear plan, of course, how to do all this, but also with such small children. Children of senior preparatory groups participate. We specially selected those children who are more capable of conversation, communication, who are interested in this.
They are told not only about the basics of the profession of a journalist. They also help to develop public speaking skills. For beautiful speech, a speech therapist conducts articulation gymnastics. The idea to create a TV group belongs to the leadership of the kindergarten.
Viktoria Ivanova, director of the Metelitsa Kindergarten, shared the story of the project’s creation.
We thought about how we can make sure that significant, interesting events that take place in our kindergarten are not limited to one group, but are broadcast for all our children and parents. Of course, we have a kindergarten page where we publish all our news. We thought that after all, the Internet is something we cannot live without, and where it has already become easier and more convenient for everyone to receive information. We, thinking our friendly company, decided that we would try to make such news.

In 71, the Lindum colony was established here, the center of the province of Flavia, which was inhabited by retired soldiers. Since then, the arch built by the Romans, through which cars enter the city, has been preserved. In addition, during the excavations, archaeologists discovered ancient cemeteries, thermal baths, stoves and even a fountain here.
Another notable attraction appeared here during the time of William the Conqueror. He was the first to draw attention to the elevated location of the city and ordered the construction of Lincoln Castle here to ensure control over the surrounding area.
Visitor Information Center can be found at 9 Castle Hill, Lincoln.

The administrative center of Nebraska – the city of Lincoln – the second largest city in the state with a population of two hundred and a half thousand people. The largest cities in Nebraska, except for the capital: Omaha, Grand Island and Bellevue. The name of the state comes from the language of the indigenous Indian population of these lands. Today, whites make up the majority of Nebraska’s population. Native Indians are a little over 1%, African Americans – about 5%. In the east of the state, the climate is continental, humid, in the west – arid. The relief is represented by plains in the west, turning into gentle hills in the eastern part. Three large rivers flow through the state: the Republican – a tributary of the Kansas River, and two tributaries of the Missouri – the Niobrara and Platte rivers. On the banks of the Niobrara River in the northwestern part of the state is the 12 million km2 Aegetian Fossil National Park. In the park, you can visit the James Cook Ranch, where fossil remains of ancient animals were discovered. Another National Park, Chimney Rock, is famous for its museum dedicated to the history of migration and land development in the north and west.
The main attractions of the state are located in large cities – the capital of Lincoln and the largest city of Nebraska, Omaha. Lincoln is home to the University of Nebraska, founded in 1869, which houses the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, several museums, a concert hall, the largest library in the state, and a collection of sculptures. About 30 thousand students study at the university, so they can safely watch films at their leisure, such as comedies like on kinoleto.com/smotret-komediya-online. It will also be interesting to look at the 121 m high Capitol, erected in 1922-1932. It is the second tallest building in the United States after the Louisiana Capitol. In Lincoln there is even a Museum of the History of Russian Germans in the USA.
The city of Omaha is famous not only for its large number of millionaires, but also for its rich cultural life. Here is one of the largest theater communities in the United States, the Omaha Community Playhouse, has its own Opera House, several Drama Theatres, the Dutch Arts Center, and the Children’s Museum, where children can, while having fun, learn science in special laboratories and arts in art studios. Another notable museum, El Latino, is one of the first museums to introduce the culture of Latin Americans. The Henry Doorley Zoo in Omaha is one of the most famous in the country. 17,000 animals live here, for which natural natural conditions are specially created. On the territory of the zoo there is also a Botanical Garden, divided into several gardens of different themes, displaying the flora of the Japanese and English gardens or harsh prairies.
They call Nebraska the State of Antelopes, the State of Tree Planters, the State of Black Water, and even the State of Eating Grasshoppers! We advise you not to focus on the names, the main reason why you should go to Nebraska is the nature and high level of culture of its small towns.
The state capital is Lincoln.
How to get there
To get to Omaha – a large city of Nebraska – from Moscow is possible only by plane, or rather by two. The most convenient route is with one change in New York. A ticket for one passenger will cost about 88,000 RUB. There is another option, in principle, identical in price: first fly to Europe – Stockholm or Warsaw, from there to the same New York and Omaha.

Attractions, activities and excursions in Nebraska
The main cultural attractions of Nebraska are, of course, in the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. But the nature of the state also deserves special attention, because in Nebraska there are several national natural parks at once: Chimney Rock, the Niobrara River Valley, Homestead and the Aegetian fossil deposits.
Aegetian National Park fossil deposits
This park is located in the northwest of the state, on the banks of the Niobrara River. With the surrounding prairies, it covers 3,000 acres, in other words, 12 million square meters! From the interesting: here you can visit the ranch of Captain James Cook, where the remains of fossil mammals of the Miocene era were found. See an interesting collection of exhibits reflecting the life of the American Indians, collected by them.
Chimney Rock
On the plains of Nebraska there are remnants, these are rock formations that survived the destruction of rock masses. In the 19th century, they served as landmarks for settlers traveling west along the Oregon Trail. Now these stone pillars are part of the history of Nebraska. And one of them – Chimney Rock, or Chimney, which means chimney rock, has the status of a US National Historic Monument. The height of the cliff above the surrounding valley is more than 90 meters, and above sea level – 1288 meters. Previously, this unusual “stone spire” was even higher, but winds and frequent lightning strikes are gradually destroying it.
Scotts Bluff
Scotts Bluff National Monument is also well known and popular with tourists. It consists of five cliffs rising above the prairie. Their height is more than 330 meters!
Omaha
Omaha is famous, first of all, for the fact that a large number of millionaires live here. And only then with its high cultural level: here is the largest theater community in the United States, the Omaha Community Playhouse, the symphony orchestra, the Opera, several drama theaters and the Dutch Arts Center are also based here. It is worth visiting the Bemis Contemporary Arts Center, the Children’s Museum and the Durham Museum.
Be sure to visit the huge botanical garden, which is spread over an area of more than 400,000 square meters. And the museum of locomotives, it is located at the railway station. There is also a curious bridge in Omaha, crossing which you will find yourself in the state of Iowa!
Lincoln
The state capital, named after President Abraham Lincoln, boasts both typical urban landscapes and rural views. All the advantages of a large city are collected here, but there are no urban problems – dirty air, traffic jams, crime. Well, almost not. There are many parks and squares in Lincoln where you can relax and listen to the city orchestra or students of the music school for free.
Photo enthusiasts will certainly be interested in the Capitol, built in 1922-1932, its height is 121 meters. It is the second tallest of the Capitols in the United States, after Louisiana (137 m).

Lincoln City Photos
In one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, a settlement called Lancaster arose on the site of the modern city, which became the capital of the district of the same name three years later. After Nebraska entered the United States on March 1, 1867, the city was renamed Lincoln and became the state capital.
Lincoln is home to the University of Nebraska, which is home to several major museums, including the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, a large collection of sculpture, the Natural History Museum, and a concert hall. The largest library in Nebraska is the library of this university. The University of Nebraska was founded in 1869. Today it has about 30,000 students.
Agricultural land surrounds the city on all sides. In principle, Lincoln boasts both typically urban landscapes and rural views. On the one hand, all the advantages of a large city are collected in these places. On the other hand, in Lincoln there are practically no such problems of many large cities as air pollution, traffic jams or crime.
The city retains to the full extent the charm and friendliness inherent in this province since ancient times. There are many parks, squares and other places where citizens can have a little rest. The only unicameral legislature in the United States holds its meetings in the Capitol building, which serves as one of the four American capitol skyscrapers.
The city got its name in honor of . A large number of settlers began to move here after the federal and state governments began giving away free plots of land in these parts and the Union Pacific and Burlington railroad tracks were built. The population of the city has grown markedly due to the government’s land policy and the influx of immigrants who moved west along the Mormon and Oregon roads. Gradually, Lincoln became an important political, cultural and educational center.
Lincoln, a city in the UK, in East Anglia. Population 80.5 thousand people (2004).
Founded in the 1st c. BC e. Roman legionnaires on the site of the ancient settlement of Lindon (Roman soldiers remade this name into Lindum, later – into Lindum Colonia, from which the name Lincoln came). Around 500, the settlement became part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey. Around 850, the Vikings (Danes) invaded Britain and turned Lincoln into one of the five main strongholds of their dominion. In 1068 William the Conqueror founded a fortress here, and four years later a cathedral; these buildings gave rise to the modern city. In 1185 Lincoln was seriously damaged by an earthquake. By the beginning of the 14th century. thanks to the wool trade, the city reached its peak. But the bubonic plague that broke out in the middle of the century doomed Lincoln to a long period of decline, and the wool trade migrated to Boston. The decline further intensified after the Civil Wars of 1642-1648.
During the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century. began to actively develop industrial and engineering industries. The construction of the railway (1868) contributed to the economic prosperity. In 1915, agricultural engineers from William Foster & Sons created the first battle tank in history, which was a combination of an artillery gun and a caterpillar tractor. In 1996, a new university opened in Lincoln.

10 Common Questions Kids Ask and How You Should Answer
Spread the love
If you have kids, you know they ask a lot of questions, and they expect you to have the answers.
Studies have revealed that kids ask as many as 73 questions a day.
Responding to that many questions on a daily basis may make you feel like you are a personal Google search service for your children. Questions about sex, science and other subjects may send you to Google yourself.
Instead, here are ten common questions kids ask and how you should answer them.
Why is the sky blue?
You see a blue sky because that’s the color of the light in the air. At sunrise and sunset, the molecules in the air scatter more, and you see reds and oranges.
Where do babies come from?
Give a factual answer that is age-appropriate for your child. Use the correct terminology, even for younger children. Specific vocabulary is less likely to cause confusion and more apt to result in understanding.
Where does water come from?
Water comes from the oceans. The Earth’s surface is 97% water, which in turn, contributes moisture in the atmosphere, You’ll also find a little bit of water in the snow and ice on mountains, streams and rivers, and lakes.
Why do people get sick?
Many people stay healthy most of the time, but bacteria and viruses can make some people sick. There are things we can do to stay healthy, and if you do get sick, there are more things you can do to get well.
What happens when you die?
Not sure? It’s okay to say, “I don’t know.” If an older child asks the question, you might be able to explore answers together by looking up testimonials from people who have had near-death experiences.
Where does God live?
Your answer to this question will be based on your faith, so answer accordingly. Begin with the smallest amount of information that satisfies the question, like “in heaven.” Let your child ask follow-up questions.
Are we rich?
The other version of this question is, “Are we poor?” Either way, your answer should be non-committal. Tell your kids that you have the money to buy some things, but not the money to buy everything.
How come there are no more dinosaurs?
An asteroid crashed into the planet a long time ago, and when it hit the Earth, the planet changed. The dinosaurs were adapted for the old world, not the new one. When the dinosaurs died, new animals that could live in the changed climate took their places.
Where are my socks?
You may be tempted to answer this one, but the best response is to counter with a question like “Where do you think you left them?” or “Where did you see them last?”
Why?
As vague as this question is, try to provide a specific answer that is at least related to the context.
Asking why, even 73 times a day, is how kids learn about the world around them and their place in it.
20 Completely Random Questions Kids Asked Even Google Couldn’t Answer!

If parenting is good for anything, it’s proving just how little you actually know. Pretty much ALL the questions my kids ask me these days confuse me. I don’t know if I can blame baby brain or not, but, whatever the case, I use the response, “We should look that up on Google” more times than I’d like to admit.
But sometimes even Google doesn’t have the answers to the crazy questions our kids ask us. Case in point: this Reddit thread.
It started as a simple conversation starter with one Reddit user asking, “Parents of Reddit, what “why?” has your toddler thrown you that even Google couldn’t answer?”
And boy, did the parents of Reddit deliver the gems. Or, rather, their kids did.
Seriously you need a master’s degree in philosophy to answer some of them … plus a doctorate in bugs, dinosaurs, and dragons.
Below are just 20 of our faves that we have NO idea the answer to. Do you???
Questions kids ask that really BUG you
1. “Do caterpillars burp?” – A caterpillar expert has actually confirmed the answer is no to this one. But, wow, what a question!
2. “Do red bugs have red legs?” – I’m gonna go with ‘no’ on that one.
3. “Why does Spiderman not shoot webs out of his butt like a normal spider?” – Stan Lee, care to explain?
4. “What does spider poop look like?” – For the record, Google does know the answer to this one. Spider poop looks like little splats of black, brown, white or grey. You’re welcome.
Existence and life’s purpose and all that deep and meaningful stuff
5. “Why does the Tooth Fairy want my teeth?” – It’s a bit strange when you think about it. And creepy.
6. “Who was the first mother? You know, my mother’s mother had a mother, and then she had a mother too, but how far does it go, who was the first mother?” – What a mother of a question that is! And a hot comment for debate.
7. “When we go to sleep, where do we go?” – Where is this “sleep” place anyway?
8. “Why does the world go on forever and we do the same thing over and over again every day?” – Sorry buddy, we are adults and we still don’t have a valid answer for this. #groundhogday
9. “Where was I before I was born?” – Sit down mum, this one could take a while…
10. “Why do bad people pretend to be good?” – How do you even begin to explain this one?
All about dinosaurs and dragons
11. “If there really were dragons, what would they cost?” – Best Reddit answer? All the riches in Scotland.
12. “Did dinosaurs know humans could be fat?” – Another life lesson in ontology, but with dinosaurs.
13. “Why do dragons need arms?” – Seriously, though WHY??
The random and ridiculous questions kids ask
14. “Daddy, are you going to be a boy when you grow down?” – If Benjamin Button can do it.
15. “Why do we put one leg forward and one leg back while walking? Why can’t both legs go together?” – Kangaroos do it, why can’t we??
16. “Does Batman wear boots or does his suit have feet?” – I reckon it’s the latter.
17. “How do we see such big trees with such little eyes?” – Oh so innocent, and impossible to answer.
18. “Why do we have hippos?” – Stumped.
19. “Do ghosts have butts?” – Apparently they do.
20. And, finally, “What’s the smell of the colour nine?” – Take that Google.

Why do children ask “Why?” and what is a “good explanation” – Monoclair

Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tilburg (Netherlands) Matteo Colombo explains why children ask “why”, what are generally accepted models of explanation, how important it is to feel the context when explaining a particular phenomenon, and what is common between children and scientists.
When I was about four years old, I asked my mother my first “Why?”: “Mom, why does Pippo live underwater?” Mom explained that Pippo, our goldfish, is a fish, and fish live underwater. This answer did not satisfy me, so I kept asking, “Why do fish live underwater? Can we also live underwater? Mom replied that fish breathe by extracting oxygen from the water around them, and people cannot breathe underwater. Then I asked a question that seemed to be unrelated to the previous ones: “What is ice made of?” Answer: “Ice is made of water, Matteo.” Two days later, Pippo was found in our freezer.
Like most four-year-olds, I was surprised by what was going on around me. As soon as I began to speak, I began to ask why it happened this way and not otherwise. This often annoyed adults. But when they were ready to answer my questions, their explanations helped me understand what would happen if things were different. Sometimes my conclusions were unfortunate (as in the case of Pippo). However, delusions and clarifications helped me discover the world around me: I did science before I went to school, and it brought me pleasure.
What is a “good explanation”? How can we find out? Philosophers of science have traditionally answered these questions by paying attention to the norms that govern the explanatory practice of scientists, and evaluating these norms on the basis of their intuition about cases involving conjectural explanations.
Since the work of Karl G. Hempel in the 1960s, philosophers of science have identified three main models of explanation. According to Hempel’s enveloping law model, explanations are arguments demonstrating that what is being explained follows logically from some general law. Following the enveloping law model, when answering the question “Why does a certain flagpole cast a 10-meter shadow?” you should take into account the laws of optics, the height of the flagpole and the angle of the sun in the sky. Such an explanation is good because it “shows that, given the particular circumstances and laws in question, the occurrence of the phenomenon was to be expected.”
Another approach is the unifying model, which states that good explanations are a single calculation that can be applied comprehensively to many different phenomena. Newton’s theory of gravity and Darwin’s theory of evolution are excellent explanations because they use powerful unifying forces. These theories appeal again and again to a few basic principles that can explain so many things. Thus unifying theories minimize the number of things that the biologist Thomas Huxley in 1896 called “fundamental misunderstandings.”
The causal mechanical model is perhaps the most popular among philosophers. According to this model, good explanations reveal the organized ingredients and actions that make things happen. If you ask “Why did this window break?” the appropriate answer would be “Because someone threw a rock at it.” Or if you ask, “How does blood get to each part of the body?” a good answer would include information about the heart, the blood vessels in the circulatory system, and their functions.
These models cover many forms of good explanations. However, philosophers must not assume that there is only one true model of explanation and that a decision must be made about which model offers us a really good explanation. That is, many believe that a “single”, “all-encompassing” explanatory model is suitable for all areas of study. This suggestion suggests that philosophers often ignore the psychology of explanatory reasoning.
A good answer to the question “Why?” is not just a philosophical abstraction. The explanation has cognitive, real functions. It promotes learning and discovery, and good explanatory theories are vital to navigating the world flexibly. In this sense, an explanation is a speech act, a statement that performs a certain function in communication. Assessing the success of this speech act must take into account the psychology of explanatory reasoning and a subtle sense of context. The remarkable work in the psychology of explanation shows that laws, unification, and causal mechanisms take place in human psychology, and traces the various concepts that work depending on the audience, interests, background beliefs, and social environment.
Psychological research also shows a striking similarity between children’s and scientists’ explanatory reasoning. Both children and scientists look at the world, trying to find patterns, looking for unexpected violations of these patterns and trying to understand them on the basis of explanatory and probabilistic considerations. Children’s explanatory practice offers a unique insight into the nature of good explanation.
Explanatory models need to be calibrated against psychology’s evidence of actual explanatory practice, but also against the history and sociology of science. The same conclusion applies to other traditional topics studied by philosophers of science: confirmation, theory of change, and scientific discovery, where too often abstract philosophical theorizing obscures the cognitive foundations of science. Empirically based research on explanation clearly tells us something important about how people explain, what they find valuable in what they explain, and how explanatory practices change throughout life. If every child is a born scientist, then it would be useful for those who study the philosophy of science to pay more attention to the psychology of explanation, in particular to children’s questions “Why?” and explanatory reasoning. They will gain a finer understanding of what makes a good explanation.

Not only mothers and fathers turn to the psychologists of the portal “I am a parent”, but also children who also need advice. According to statistics, over the past six months, the portal “I am a parent” was visited by 83,776 people under the age of 18 (this is 14%), while the main audience is young parents (37.5%). Among these 14 percent there are children who turned to our psychologists for help.
We decided to re-read all the questions sent by children since the beginning of the year in order to understand what worries minors the most? When do they need help?
Having identified the five most popular questions, the psychologist of the portal Anastasia Vyalykh has prepared recommendations for parents whose children are faced with similar problems.
I want to die… What should I do?
The situation when your child makes such a statement requires immediate action, but they must be as tactful and careful as possible. It is important to be very sensitive to the behavior of a teenager. If a son or daughter withdraws into himself, pushes you away, do not insist, but express your concern and let him know that you are always ready to help when he needs it.
If you have a trusting relationship, be sure to talk to the child, find out the reason for the desire to die, listen and take his feelings seriously. Do not deny, belittle or, even more so, ridicule the words of a teenager. It’s better to sympathize, remember yourself at his age, confirm that it’s really hard for him, because that’s the way it is.
In a moment of despair, it is very important to have the support of a friend, but one does not want to listen to the prudent arguments of a parent, no matter how convincing they are.
At the end of the conversation, you can offer him to call the helpline or go to a face-to-face consultation with a psychologist. If he doesn’t agree, you can go without him. A specialist will help you build your own behavior in this difficult situation.
In general, try to show your love in any way possible, taking into account the “adulthood” of your child, that is, respecting his personal boundaries. Most importantly, it is important for him to know that you really value him and love him, even if you are negative about his behavior.
How to deal with depression?
Sad thoughts can occur to any person from time to time, and this is normal. However, if your child is experiencing prolonged depression, you should not leave it unattended and hope that it will “go away on its own”. When your son or daughter stays in his room for days on end, stops talking to friends, becomes isolated, or cries a lot, professional help can also come in handy. Therefore, do not immediately discard the option of contacting a psychologist for a consultation, even if the child himself is against it at first. Gently offer this as an opportunity to look at your situation from the outside and give him time to think.
Be sure to observe what is going on in his life, what he feels, what interests or worries him. This does not mean that you need to surround your child with total control or put houses under lock and key. It is much better to be sensitive to changes in his behavior and build communication with him based on your observations.
First of all, try to find out the cause of negative emotions. Sometimes they arise as a result of some events, sometimes – under the influence of sudden hormonal changes in the body of a teenager. In any case, emotions are important to take seriously.
Express your understanding, speak out for him the feelings he is experiencing. If you do it now, it will be easy for your child to do it on their own in the future.
And this means that he will accept himself as he is, without denying or accumulating negativity inside, that is, without causing harm to his health.
Yes, it often happens that we cannot immediately change the circumstances, the behavior of the people around us or the conditions of our life that cause us physical or moral discomfort. But in any situation there is an opportunity to change your attitude towards it, you can look at your life from a different angle, and then even from the most difficult situation there will be a way out. Remind your child that everything is temporary, which means that the situation will change for the better.
What should I do if my relationship with a young man/girl gets complicated?
In such a state, an adolescent, first of all, needs emotional support. Try to be available for conversation at any time, but do not insist on frankness. It is worth considering how close you usually communicate – too sharp interference in the personal space of your child can provoke a refusal to communicate with you.
In adolescence, against the background of hormonal changes, all emotions intensify, so the experiences of your growing child are really very strong. Do not under any circumstances deny their importance or authenticity, do not compare his situation with yours in the past or with someone else’s, do not question his choice of partner. The first love seems to be the strongest – “for life”, and if a teenager is rejected or the relationship is torn, then “life is over.” Life experience is not enough yet, so the young man or girl simply does not know what to do with such strong feelings. Your task is to accept his (her) emotions, to recognize that building relationships is indeed a very serious and difficult task. If there is a breakup, then help the teenager go through all the stages of experiencing this situation.
Having survived the pain of the first rejection, quarrel or parting, your child will gain invaluable experience and, if you provide him with the necessary support in time, he will become more prepared for the conscious creation of future family relationships.
How to build relationships with parents?
Children, just like their parents, want mutual understanding, warmth and real intimacy in the family. Unfortunately, these two parties (children and parents) speak different languages and strive to reach the same goal by different, non-intersecting paths. And it is really very sad when you do not find understanding in the closest person – in your own parent or child. You may get angry, close down, and feel resentful. These emotions are normal in this situation. But they can be expressed in different ways: swearing and reproaches or words that will not hurt loved ones.
The first step towards each other may be to change the normal reactions of the parent. If instead of the usual curses, accusations and reproaches, using “I-messages”, you tell your child about your feelings in connection with his misbehavior, then the vicious circle of mutual resentment will break. Express disapproval of the child’s behavior, not his personality (For example: “I feel sad when you behave like this, because I know that you are good”). It is vital for him to know that you love him with all his flaws, just the way he is.
Listen and try to hear your child so that he learns to listen to you and other close people in his life.
How to build relationships with friends?
In order for a child to meet new people, maintain good relationships with others and appreciate true friendship, he needs self-confidence and, at the same time, attentiveness to other people. It is important for parents to develop not only mental, but also communication skills in a child from a very young age, and also to pay special attention to the development of emotional intelligence. The latter will come in handy not only in childhood, but will also be an excellent help in adulthood – a person who is aware of his own and other people’s emotions will be more successful both in his career and in personal relationships.
Your empathy and willingness to help your child if they have difficulty communicating with peers can be helpful. You need to be tactful and attentive to his condition and desires, prompt, but not do something instead of him, support emotionally, but not protect him from the consequences of his own behavior. It is especially important to give the child freedom and the opportunity to independently cope with building relationships in adolescence, when self-assertion among peers becomes one of the main tasks.
And, of course, it must be remembered that a child learns by imitating close adults. Therefore, parents should not demand from him what they themselves cannot follow. It will be most effective to show your son or daughter, by example, how to defend your position and safety in a conflict without physical and moral violence, how to show sympathy for a friend in a difficult situation, or how to resolve disputes so that both parties win.

It is the skills and knowledge of the teacher that largely determines what future awaits us, who will come to replace our society. After all, children are our future – this simple truth never becomes obsolete, and the future of Russia depends on how we raise our children. According to the decree of the head of our state, 2023 has been declared the year of the teacher and mentor. This decision recognizes the high status of teachers and the highest social significance of the work they carry out.

Leningrad blockade
01/27/2023
The blockade of Leningrad is one of the tragic periods in the history of the Great Patriotic War. For the older generation that carries these memories, it is a part of life that they will never forget. At the cost of their lives, Leningraders preserved the spiritual and material values of their country. The feat of the Leningraders became a vivid example of the steadfastness and heroism of the Soviet people in the fight against fascism. On January 27, classes dedicated to this important date were held in our kindergarten. Each activity has been designed with the age of the children in mind. The purpose of these events: to expand children’s ideas about the heroic deed of the inhabitants of Leningrad; to form a sense of patriotism and the ability to empathize. They told the children “About the Siege of Leningrad”. The presentation “Children of the blockade” was also shown. They talked about the “Road of Life”, introduced Mikhail Sukhachev’s work “Children of the Blockade”, introduced M. Sukhachev’s works “Children of the Blockade”; E. Vereiskaya “Three Girls”; Y. German “That’s how it was.” There were also talks about bread, about its role in the life of Leningraders during the days of the siege, about the life and activities of children in the besieged city, “Bread rolls”.

What is KC Certification – KC Mark Certification Overview
What is the KC Certification for South Korea?
KC certification, or Korea Certification, is a product certification which ensures the conformity of products to Korean safety standards – called K Standards. The KC Certification (KC Mark Korea Certification) focuses on prevention and reduction of risks regarding safety, health or impact on the environment. Before 2009 there were 13 different certification systems by different government organizations and some even partially overlapped. In 2009 the government of South Korea decided to introduce the KC Mark Certification and to replace the previous 140 different test marks.
The KC Mark and the corresponding KC Certificate are similar to the European CE mark and are valid for 730 different products such as automotive parts, machines and many electronic products. This test mark confirms that the product meets the relevant Korean Safety Standard.
K Standard requirements are often similar to the respective IEC Standards (Standard of International Electrotechnical Commission). Although the IEC Standard is similar, it is important to confirm that the Korean requirements are also met before importing or selling to South Korea.
The KC certification is a so-called manufacturer-based certification, meaning that there is no differentiation between the manufacturer and the applicant. Once the certification process has been completed, it will be the actual manufacturer and factory that appears on the certificate.
KC Certification Label
South Korea is one of the most important and innovative industrial nations in the world. In order to get market access many products that enter the South Korean market are required to be tested and certified.
Here is a brief Video about the KC Mark Certification for product exports to Korea
Presented by Julian Busch, director of Korea Certification – MPR International:
youtube.com/embed/zdSeMGdDBkA”/>
You can also watch this video on our Video Channel.
KC Mark Certification authorities
The “Korean Agency for Technology and Standards” (KATS) is responsible for the KC Certification in South Korea. It is part of the “Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy” (MOTIE). KATS is establishing the regulatory framework for the market launch of different consumer goods to ensure the consumers’ safety. Additionally, they are also responsible for drafting standards and international coordination efforts around standardization.
Products which require a KC Label are required to be checked in accordance with the “Quality Management and Safety Control of Industrial Products Act” and the “Electric Appliances Safety Act”.
There are three main bodies that are accredited as certification bodies and permitted to conduct product tests, factory audits and issue certificates. These are the „Korea Testing and Research Institute“ (KTR), the „Korea Testing Laboratory“ (KTL) and „Korea Testing Certification“ (KTC).
How to get Korea KC Certification for your product – Certification Process:
The process of KC Certification for Korea has several steps.
Detailed Steps of the KC Certification:
Preparation of Application documents and application
Registration at the Korean certification authority
Factory Inspection (only for Korea Safety Certificate)
Product Tests in an accredited test lab
Checking of all documents and issuance of the KC Mark Certificate
3.1 KC Certification application documents:
The following application documents are needed for the KC Mark Certification:
Application Form
Business License
Complete contact details of the Korean importer and the production plant
Product descriptions and/or user manuals (in Korean language)
List of critical components
KC or CB certificates of critical components
Circuit diagrams (only electronic products)
Example for the marking
If available, CB certificate and test report of the products according to IEC standard, that includes 220V (AC) 60Hz
The KC certification application documents are reviewed after submitting. To obtain a KC Mark, it is essential that the products are tested for safety by an internationally recognized testing institute. The tests are performed in accordance with national and international standards.
If CB certificates and test reports according to IEC standards are available for the respective products, the certification and testing process can be simplified and shortened. However, an important requirement is that the CB certificate must include the Korean voltage of 220V (AC) / 60 Hz.
In addition, manufacturers of safety products (Type 1) must undergo a factory inspection according to Korean specifications.
After receiving the KC certificate, type 1 KC certification continues to have regular follow-up audits and product testing.
3.2 Korea Certification – product tests:
Product tests are required in many cases for product certification for the Korean market to show compliance to Korean K Standards. For Type 1 KC certification, for example, product tests are mandatory for initial certification and also for subsequent follow-ups to maintain the certification status. At the end the manufacturer must be able to present passed test reports on product safety, which must have been issued by internationally recognized testing laboratories.
There are three major certification bodies that are accredited and permitted to conduct product tests and audits and issue certificates:
Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL)
Korea Testing and Research Institute (KTR)
Korea Testing and Certification (KTC)
3.3 KC Mark Certification – Marking:
If the product has been successfully certified for the South Korean market, the KC Mark certification label is required to be displayed on the product. Depending on the type of certification the KC logo should normally be marked in blue or gold and together with the certificate number.
Additionally, it is usually required that certain product information, like model name, manufacturer and rated voltage, are marked on the label as well. The information must be in Korean, while English is optional.
3.4 Duration of the certification
For a KC certification that only requires product testing, the process can usually be completed within 3-4 months. This includes the preparation of the application documents, assuming that all required information is available.
Product testing itself takes 1-2 months, depending on how much coordination with the test lab for a specific product is required.
Moreover, under certain conditions the duration can be significantly shortened with the help of a CB certification, because in a best case scenario product tests do not have to be performed again.
For product categories that require a factory audit, the organization of the audit and preparations at the factory will take additional time.
KC Mark Certification – FAQ
How do I determine if my product is eligible for Korea Certification? Please check the list for KC certification mandatory products. For reliable results, the certification requirement for the product can be checked directly with the Korean authority with technical specifications and other such information.
Do I need to travel to Korea during the KC Certification process? There is no mandatory need to do so. However, there are advantages to coordinating with the local Korean testing laboratory, as this can optimize product testing procedures, the number of tests necessary, and in the best case, minimize testing costs.
Does the quality manager or anyone else in the company need special training? There is usually no need for special training if the plant has already been certified according to ISO or similar quality guidelines. If it is not, then the quality manager and his team may need to undergo training.

Is the traditional 10-month school year, starting around Labor Day and ending at the beginning of summer, still relevant? Year-round school, an alternative format, may offer valuable benefits. Examining the pros and cons of year-round school gives insight into why some education leaders push for its adoption while others argue for sticking to the traditional 10-month schedule.
Traditional vs. Year-Round Schedules
Many people think of the school year as starting in August or at the beginning of September and continuing for 10 months. Students get a summer vacation, as well as breaks in winter and spring.
This format has a long tradition. Some link it to our nation’s agrarian roots, saying it dates back to times when the US economy was based on farming and harvest cycles. Others observe that actual harvesting cycles don’t require long summer breaks. They suggest this extensive time off is more likely the legacy of wealthy urban dwellers leaving the city for long periods to escape the heat. Now, however, some districts are adopting a year-round schedule. What’s the difference? Year-round schedules still offer students 180 days of instruction, but those days are spread out over 12 months. After learning blocks, schools break for sessions that last weeks rather than months. Although the idea has been around for a long time, the change to year-round school has not been widely implemented. Today, 10 percent of students in the country attend schools that have adopted year-round schedules in 46 states and the District of Columbia.
Types of Year-Round Schedules
What exactly do year-round schedules look like? Some popular alternatives to the traditional schedule include the 45-15, 60-20, and 90-30 plans.
45-15 Schedules
On the 45-15 plan, students attend school for 45 days, followed by 15 days off. Schools still close for certain holidays that are built into the calendar. In all, students attend four 45-day sessions over 12 months.
Sample 45-15 Schedule
45 learning days (starting the fourth week of July)
20-day recess or intersession (starting the second week of October)
30 learning days (starting the third week of October)
3-day Thanksgiving recess
15 learning days (starting at the end of November or beginning of December)
15-day recess or intersession (over Christmas and New Year’s)
45 learning days (starting the third week of January)
15-day recess or intersession (starting the third week of March)
45 learning days (starting the second week of April)
30-day summer recess or intersession (starting the second week of June)
60-20 Schedules
On the 60-20 plan, students attend school for 60 days, followed by 20 days off. Schools close for holidays that are built into the calendar. Instead of four learning blocks, students learn during three 60-day blocks scheduled over the course of the year, separated by four weeks of vacation.
Sample 60-20 Schedule
60 learning days (starting the last week of September)
3-day Thanksgiving recess
20-day recess or intersession (starting the fourth week of December)
60 learning days (starting the third week of January)
20-day recess or intersession (starting the second week of April)
60 learning days (starting the first week of May)
40-day summer recess or intersession (starting the last week of July)
90-30 Schedules
On the 90-20 plan, students attend school for 90 days, followed by 30 days off. Like the 45-15 and 60-20 plans, this schedule factors in holidays. The school year consists of two 90-day learning blocks, with a 30-day break after each.
Sample 90-30 Schedule
90 learning days (starting the fourth week of August)
3-day Thanksgiving recess
30-day recess or intersession (starting the third week of January)
90 days of learning (starting the fourth week of April)
35-day summer recess or intersession (starting the second week of July)
What Are Intersessions?
After each learning block in the 45-15, 60-20, and 90-30 plans, schools may offer intersessions. Intersessions serve the same purpose as summer school, offering extra help and specialized programs for either full or partial days.
Intersession Remediation
For students struggling with classwork or failing a class, intersession remediation can help. During these sessions, teachers review and reteach the material covered earlier, giving students the chance to pass classes they are at risk of failing. Remediation can focus on everything from building basic literacy and math competencies to developing essential study skills.
Intersession Enrichment
Intersessions can also offer enrichment or accelerated courses, allowing excelling students the opportunity to push themselves to the next level. Depending on the grade level, enrichment could range from SAT prep to foreign language immersion to programs that have students plant a school garden while learning about conservation. Schools might also use these sessions for new student orientations or class trips.
Intersession Schedules
Intersession schedules vary according to school. However, they might feature morning classes, a lunch break, and then extracurricular activities in the afternoon. Intercessions may also offer half-day schedules that end midday.
Pros of Year-Round School
When considering such a high-level change, educators must look at both the pros and cons of year-round school. Supporters of year-round schedules argue that the schedule’s benefits justify its nontraditional nature.
Avoiding Summer Slide
Advocates of year-round education argue that students forget information they’ve learned in language arts and math over long summer breaks—the so-called summer slide. Shorter breaks can help students retain material learned while school is in session. Proponents also suggest at-risk students do better in year-round schedules. Some research suggests that by the ninth grade, summer learning losses account for two-thirds of the achievement gap between low- and middle-income students. However, much of the research is still inconclusive.
Saving Schools Money
Year-round schools use facilities more efficiently by accommodating more students thanks to staggered schedules, or track systems. Track systems divide students into groups who attend school on rotating schedules.
In a four-track system, only three tracks of students are on campus at a time. For example, a school with 1,000 seats could implement four tracks of about 333 students each. The school could rotate all four tracks in and out, thereby increasing enrollment capacity by about 25 percent.
Tracking can save districts the expense of constructing new schools and allows districts to make better use of the resources they already have. However, tracking can also create logistical hurdles. For example, with school buildings in constant use, administrators need to find alternative places to conduct intersessions—or forgo them altogether. Families with children who don’t follow the same schedule can encounter issues with scheduling child care or family vacations. Additionally, tracking may split up student cohorts, in this way disrupting social relationships and a sense of school community.
Offering Time for Intervention
Learning is cumulative, as curriculum bases later concepts on concepts learned earlier. Therefore, when students don’t master key concepts, they can lose ground quickly.
A traditional school year doesn’t give students much time to review concepts if they fall behind; however, year-round schedules with intersessions allow time for interventions that help struggling students catch up.
Cons of Year-Round School
Despite the benefits of year-round school, challenges are inevitable. Following are some of the key concerns surrounding making the switch.
Achieving Buy-In
Perhaps the biggest challenge of implementing year-round school is overcoming the doubts and concerns of participants, namely families and teachers. Understandably, supporters of year-round school may face challenges when it comes to buy-in.
Parents, for example, may demand more information about the benefits of year-round school to their children before they agree to a schedule change. Similarly, teachers may question how year-round schedules will affect their workload or compensation. School administrators may need to work closely with teachers’ unions and parent associations to make sure such concerns are addressed.
Juggling Logistics
Keeping a campus running at full capacity the entire year can be challenging. Districts need to address the issue of schools that lack air conditioning and may need to pay for higher energy consumption during the summer months.

The Pros and Cons of Year-Round Schools
The very thought of sending kids to school year-round makes some parents cringe. They balk at the idea of kids attending schools with no summer break. They question the value of a continuous school year interspersed with several short breaks. While the schedule is definitely not what the majority of adults grew up with, it’s not nearly as onerous as some people think. Rather than giving kids less time off, a year-round schedule offers the same 180 days of schooling as the traditional calendar, created long ago to ensure children were home to help their parents harvest crops.

What Exactly Is Year-Round Schooling?
Kids in year-round schools attend classes for anywhere from six to nine weeks in a row, broken up by two- to four-week vacations. That, say some educators, keeps the learning process ongoing with minimal disruption. A Duke University study even suggested kids attending year-round schools are at a slight advantage, because they don’t forget what they learned during the long summer break.
Schools in fast-growing areas transition to year-round schedules as a way to ease overcrowding. When that occurs, kids are placed on multi-tracks, and alternate tracking in and out of the school, a process that keeps the buildings in constant use.
The Multi-Schedule Juggle
Frequent breaks are a mainstay of year-round schooling, but they aren’t for everyone. Patricia McCracken, who grew up attending a year-round school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, says she found the two-week breaks, which occurred every six weeks at her school, to be disruptive. “It was really hard to get involved in the work because as soon as you geared up, you had to gear back down again.”
Mary Brown, a middle-school teacher in Wake County (where three-week breaks occur every nine weeks), says she doesn’t see that as a problem at her school. “Our schedule offers the kids a break from school right when they need it,” she says. Earlier this year, after their first three-week break, she says, the kids seemed refreshed. “They didn’t have the bored, glazed-over look of kids who had been in school for weeks on end with no break in sight.”
Juggling different school schedules is one of the toughest problems parents of children in both year-round and traditional schools face. Many high schools don’t employ a year-round calendar because of sports schedules. And teens want to be able to take summer jobs.
The year-round schedule can make finding appropriate childcare a problem too. Because her mom was a teacher in a traditional school, McCracken says, “It meant my sister and I were basically latchkey kids for two or three years because it was impossible to find a babysitter for two weeks every six weeks.” As year-round schooling becomes more common, however, communities are meeting the demand by offering track-out programs for kids who aren’t in school.

what you wanted to know but were afraid to ask – Society

In the first days of the new academic year, several publications dedicated to education in the North appeared on social networks at once. Adult people from nomadic families shared their memories of the first separation from their parents, about their studies and boarding life. These notes spontaneously developed into a heated discussion of living conditions in boarding schools, the pros and cons of this system and other forms of education, such as nomadic schools.
Children from families of reindeer herders (Nenets, Dolgans, Evenks, Evens, Chukchis, Komi and other peoples) at the age of 6-8 leave for villages to study at boarding schools, which are the main model for organizing general school education for nomads in Russia. In the 1990s in the regions of residence of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East, an open criticism of the boarding school system and the search for alternative forms of education for nomads began, which were called “nomadic schools” or, in general, “nomadic education”.
Nomadic schools are a project that does not leave anyone indifferent: it is attractive as a brand and media occasion for officials and journalists, causes heated discussions in local communities, and is of interest to scientists as a new phenomenon in culture. However, those who really understand what modern nomadic education is in Russia are much less than those who talk about it … People who broadcast the idea of nomadic education to the masses have little idea of what is really happening in such educational institutions, how the life of children in families of reindeer herders, in what conditions the teacher lives and works.
The history of my research in this area has developed in such a way that I, too, was not immediately able to see the real practice of nomadic education, so I first collected information about it in Evenkia, Yakutia, the Amur Region and Yamal and the opinions of various participants in the educational process. Later, in Taimyr, she observed classes in a nomadic school with the Dolgans and in a nomadic kindergarten with the Nenets, and in 2015-2016. During the ethnographic expedition “Real People” in Yamal, I myself worked for a year as a teacher of a nomadic kindergarten in the families of Nenets reindeer herders [1].
What is a nomadic school?
The idea and name of this form of education goes back to the history of the first decades of the Soviet North – the work of nomadic schools proper, mobile schools, camp schools and red tents. Back in the 19th century, isolated attempts were made in Russia to create schools that corresponded to the lifestyle of the country’s nomadic population, and in the 1920s-1930s, Soviet enlighteners also thought about this [2]. During these years, boarding schools were built on cultural bases, but parents retained a free choice whether to send their children to study or not, and most of them did it not in favor of studying. For this reason, nomadic schools were opened at the camps of reindeer herders, fishermen and hunters, designed not only to teach children to read and write in remote nomad camps, but also to convince parents to send them to a stationary school in a year or two [3].

Since 1938, the liquidation of nomadic schools began. If they coped with the simple program of elementary school, then after the introduction of compulsory seven-year education in the mid-1950s, the boarding school turned out to be the only acceptable form for universal education of the nomadic population. By this time, small-scale stationary schools in small national settlements began to close, and boarding schools were enlarged. In connection with the introduction of the program for the transfer of the indigenous population of Siberia to settled life, nomadic schools finally ceased to exist [4]. At the same time, adult literacy activities continued longer: the last red plagues were closed only in 1970s
Nomadic schools, which opened in the new Russia at the end of the 20th century, first in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and in the Amur Region, were originally conceived as an alternative to the boarding school system, which was criticized after the collapse of the USSR for Russification, the loss of ethnic knowledge by children and traumatic experience for the child’s psyche [ 5].
The ideologists of modern nomadic education already have other goals than in Soviet times: not spreading literacy among children who do not attend boarding schools, but ensuring the opportunity to receive different levels of education without leaving their families and preserving traditional economy, culture and language. As a rule, during public speeches of the national intelligentsia and officials, it is the last point that is put at the forefront.
In addition to Yakutia, the practice of nomadic education over the past twenty-five years has been implemented in one form or another in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenetsky and Evenki municipal districts of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, and the Chukotka and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs. At the same time, no more than forty institutions throughout the North and Siberia with a total number of students of about five hundred people currently have the status of nomadic schools, and most children from nomadic families study in boarding schools.
It is noteworthy that the phrase “nomadic school” refers to educational institutions that are completely different in form and content. As in the Soviet period, modern nomadic schools represent several models. The list of models of nomadic schools was originally presented in the special law “On nomadic schools of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)” of 2008. Other northern regions mostly use the same terminology with some differences in meaning. The law lists all possible, according to Yakut experts, model options: nomadic school (branch), primary nomadic school-kindergarten, community, tutor, taiga, stationary, Sunday, network, summer schools [6]. In order to deal with the variety of forms that have intersections in terms of individual characteristics, it is possible to classify nomadic schools according to the following parameters: “mobility”, educational level and work schedule (season) [7].
Nomadic schools and kindergartens usually collect small classes or groups (3-10 people), consisting of children from one to three families. Some schools for this reason may be closed over time, as their pupils grow older. Schools can be divided into two main types depending on the natural and climatic zone and economic activities of families: nomadic and stationary. Among truly nomadic schools, in turn, two scenarios can be distinguished: a school is nomadic with one family/community, or a school moves from family to family, which are located at a distance from each other, and conducts study sessions in each of them. The latter case assumes a part-time form of education and is called by regional methodologists a network model. So, for example, a nomadic school, organized by the French anthropologist Alexandra Lavrilier, worked among Evenk reindeer herders with. Ust-Nyukzha, Amur Region [8].
Stationary nomadic schools, accordingly, do not roam, being on communal production sites or in small villages. In fact, they are not much different from small schools in small towns. Classes take place in a stationary room, but the curriculum includes practical classes in fishing, hunting and reindeer herding. Parents live with their children or wander nearby, as in the Evenk schools “Ugut” and “Amma” of the Aldan ulus in Yakutia. In most cases, itinerant schools provide only preschool and primary education. At the end of four nomadic classes, children come to a boarding school. Stationary models can provide training and up to 9class.
By seasonality, school work is divided into three groups: year-round (meaning the academic year), working two quarters out of four, and summer. The year-round ones include stationary nomadic schools and some nomadic kindergartens. Really nomadic institutions, as a rule, conduct classes in nomadic conditions during the II and III academic quarters, in the I and IV quarters the children study at the basic boarding school. Such a schedule is due to the difficulties of the nomadic route during the thaw period, therefore, in spring and autumn, children move to study in the village. I was lucky to observe how the Dolgan nomadic school-kindergarten worked in such a rhythm at the camp of the Zharkov reindeer herders in the Khatanga region in Taimyr.

Summer schools are so-called ethno-camps for village children or temporary classes for preschoolers – this practice of seasonal pre-school preparation is common in Yamal.
It follows from this that nomadic schools do not always really roam: the vast majority of educational institutions with the status of “nomadic” work stationary, no matter how strange it may sound. Moreover, in some cases, the name “nomadic school” actually refers to a kindergarten. The paradox of nomadic schools, which are often not “nomadic” or “schools” at all, causes surprise, misunderstanding and even outrage in society. For example, in Yamal, I often heard from reindeer herders: “what kind of nomadic school is this if it doesn’t roam!?” when it was about a school at a trading post, or “we don’t want a school to come to us – it’s better to boarding school,” while in fact it was a nomadic kindergarten, and not school education.
So what do all types of nomadic education have in common? According to the Yakut legislation, this type of educational institution has a rather broad definition: “A nomadic school is an independent educational institution or a branch of an educational institution in areas densely populated by the indigenous peoples of the North” [6]. In my opinion, the main unifying characteristic of nomadic schools is not that they really move along with the inhabitants of the tundra and taiga, but that these are educational institutions for nomads, that is, they are as close as possible to the mobile living conditions of reindeer herders and fishermen or are directly inscribed in them.

Nomadic education in Yamal
My field research, as well as my personal experience of organizing a nomadic kindergarten, is mainly related to the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, so I would like to dwell on the situation with nomadic education in this region. It should be noted that the situation in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug stands out significantly in comparison with other regions of the North and Siberia, in which since 1990s there is a decline in reindeer husbandry. On the contrary, in the YaNAO more than 16 thousand people lead a nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle (Nenets, Khanty, Komi, Selkups), that is, more than 60% of the country’s nomads are concentrated there, and the largest herd of domestic reindeer in the world – about 700 thousand people graze there. heads. Along with this, the Yamal nomads maintain the foundations of ethnic culture and native languages, which is primarily due to the preservation of family nomadism in Yamal.
At first, the main newsmaker of nomadic education in Russia was Yakutia, especially since 2007, when the republican program was supported by UNESCO. Since 2010s in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug launched its project “Nomadic School”, loudly declaring itself in the media [9]. The first step was the opening of a regional experimental site not far from the Laborovaya trading post in the Priuralsky district at the Land of Hope ethnic camp, which is run by the Nenets writer Anna Nerkagi. From that moment on, an elementary nomadic school (stationary type) has been operating there, where children of reindeer herders wandering nearby and orphans taken under guardianship study. Parents can come to their children on weekends and take them to the tent, that is, they see them much more often than if the children studied at the boarding school of the village to which they are attached. The school also has special nomadic teachers who travel to the camps to conduct separate classes for preschoolers and younger students, and a family of teachers who live in their own tent and conduct classes there for a small group of children living with them.
The laws of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug enshrined the rights of parents to choose an educational institution, the forms of organization of the educational process [10]. At the initial stage of the project, taking into account the experience of Yakutia, it was supposed to develop school (primarily primary) education in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which was reflected both in legal formulations and in the initial presentation of the project in the media. However, the focus on school education turned out to be unclaimed, since the specifics of nomadism and the demands of parents in Yamal conflicted with the idea of nomadic schools proper.
Active PR of the project caused a serious discussion among the national intelligentsia of the district. The name of the project “Nomadic School” and the frequent media coverage of the school in the tundra created the impression that the authorities were going to transfer all schoolchildren from reindeer herding families to study in the chum. Explaining that no one is going to abolish the boarding school system and that parents simply have a choice of the form of education does not always help. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the problem of perception is associated with the very term “nomadic school”, which creates an unambiguous image in people.
Reindeer herder parents reacted to the prospect of organizing nomadic schools in their camps mostly negatively. My communication with my parents showed that the Yamal tundra people are used to the system of boarding schools and consider it the only possible one for a full-fledged education. In addition, for low-income families, a boarding school is an opportunity to support children for most of the year at public expense. At the same time, when discussing nomadic schools, some parents see their advantages precisely in the opportunity to be close to their children: “It would be nice if our children study next to us, otherwise they are very bored, and we are bored”, “It’s bad when children far from their parents, they will not be brought up normally in a boarding school.”
Despite the fact that in the most “nomadic” regions of the YNAO (Priuralsky, Tazovsky, Yamalsky) quite a lot of young people choose to live in the tundra, after graduation from school, most young people tend to stay in the village or go to the city to receive further education and get a job. By the way, there is a romantic myth in society that all the Nenets want only to graze reindeer.
Modern parents, talking about the fate of their children, express their wishes that they receive a secondary specialized or higher education, and then decide whether to return to the tundra or live in the village. Many people think that it will be better if most of their children choose village life, get a specialty and find a job. It is convenient for tundra families if one of their close relatives lives in the village, with whom they can stay during short visits, ask for help with paperwork and purchases. In addition, such planning is especially important for families with a medium herd and small deer, so as not to divide a small herd into several heirs. The tundra people, pessimistic about the future of the Yamal reindeer herding against the backdrop of industrial development and impoverished pastures, want their children to settle in a village or city, and “not live such a hard life as we do.”

Parents-herders directly link success in the implementation of the “village/city” strategy with good school performance. Nomadic schools cause them rejection because of the opinion that it is impossible to get a good education in them. Some believe that the nomadic school is designed to “leave” children to live in the tundra. According to parents, there is no educational atmosphere in the tundra, children will not be able to seriously go through the school curriculum and further adapt in the village: “Children in the tundra will not want to study. They will be distracted by everything, they won’t want to go to school, teachers won’t obey”, “The knowledge will be bad, they won’t be able to study further”, “If he studies in such a school, how will he get used to the city then?”, “Better in a boarding school, so he will adapt to village life.
In addition, organizing the educational process in a nomadic life is difficult, almost impossible due to the specifics of nomadism and the natural conditions of the North. Parents define a nomadic school as a burden for the family or consider it incompatible with nomadic life at all: “It will be necessary to set up another chum!” on the road – when to study something?
The opening of nomadic kindergartens in Yamal turned out to be more in demand. As a result, the Nomadic School project in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug adopted a different vector of development – preschool education, which children from nomadic families cannot receive due to the remoteness of the nomadic routes from village kindergartens. The specialized departments began to focus on improving the quality of education and providing an “equal start” for tundra children who were not preparing for school in any way, and village children who attended kindergarten. I will only note that the name of the project “Nomadic School” has been preserved and continues to cause public outcry among parents, the intelligentsia and other interested parties.
According to the data of 2017, twenty-two nomadic schools operate in the territory of the district in the places of nomadism, of which only one provides general school education all year round (on the “Land of Hope”) and two seasonal ones, operating in the summer months for reindeer herders from the Shuryshkarsky district and in September – at the camps in the Purovsky district during the period of berry picking. All other institutions represented in the regional project are nomadic kindergartens, which turned out to be the most relevant for local communities [11]. Nomadic preschool groups (or otherwise, nomadic kindergartens) are formed on the basis of village kindergartens and work in two formats: all year round or in the summer. At present, groups are open in various economic groups: in reindeer-breeding brigades, with private reindeer herders, at seasonal fishing camps, at trading posts. Nomadic kindergartens are taught by external teachers or housewives, who are tutored by tutors. The success of nomadic kindergartens, as well as schools, to a large extent depends on the personality of the teachers who keep the organization of classes, communication with parents, adaptation of the program, and much more [12].
Preschool education in Russia has become an integral part of the education system. Children who attended kindergarten, on average, have a certain set of knowledge and skills: the hand is prepared for writing, the child knows letters, sounds and numbers, can count and perform simple mathematical operations. The very “unequal start” that Yamal officials and methodologists talk about is associated, first of all, with the lack of these skills in nomad children. Within the framework of federal standards, the totality of specific knowledge and skills that children acquire in the tundra is not taken into account: who cares how many types of sleds and deer colors a child can name in his native language, if you need to be able to count unfamiliar giraffes and parrots in pictures in Russian?

Previously, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the system of preparatory or so-called zero classes, which has already become traditional, operated. Children from the Yamal, Tazovsky and Priuralsky regions during the year underwent adaptation to the unusual conditions of the boarding school and received basic skills for further study in the first grade. In addition, children from Nenets families in the Yamal and Taz regions enter boarding schools almost monolingually: they have little command of Russian, the language of the future education. It was during the “zero” class that the child had to urgently learn Russian for further education at school. Such a short-term system of mastering the language of continuous learning is doubtful, but it existed, at least in this form. The statements of the intelligentsia of tundra origin (opponents of nomadic education) that they also started studying at a boarding school, “not knowing a single word of Russian”, but quickly mastered the state language and successfully received an education, also do not stand up to criticism. Firstly, the requirements for elementary school students of 30-50 years ago differed from modern ones (at least they did not imply a preschool education level), because the program regularly becomes more complicated, the more difficult it is to master it in an unfamiliar language; secondly, as is known, negative impressions are often excluded from childhood memories of adults.
The “zero class”, in my opinion, also had significant drawbacks due to the age shift: seven-year-old children entered the pre-school class, which means that in the first grade they were already 8-9 years old. Consequently, graduating from school at 18-19, almost adults did not always think about studying. Given the existence of these pre-school classes, nomadic kindergartens could better prepare for further studies, both in terms of skills, knowledge and the basics of the Russian language, and adaptation to the educational process in general. In addition, with successful preparation for school, the child could skip the zero grade, go straight to the first, thereby getting the opportunity to graduate from school before he comes of age.
However, Kindergarten as it existed was canceled in the 2016/17 school year due to some conflicts with federal law. Scientists, educators and parents reacted negatively to the abolition of zero classes because of the upcoming difficulties in completing the curriculum for tundra children. According to experienced boarding school teachers, a student without training and knowledge of the Russian language cannot successfully master them, and proposals to use their native language as the language of instruction in primary school are not yet supported. This in some cases leads to the fact that children stay for the second year and / or are transferred to correctional classes, which makes it almost impossible to continue their studies after school. Here one could argue about whether the children of reindeer herders need a federal education system at all (in this form or in this volume), but the tundra people themselves give an unambiguous answer.
Thus, after the closure of preparatory classes, nomadic education has become the only form of preparing tundra children for school, and the expansion of the network of nomadic kindergartens at present is an opportunity to partially prepare individual children from tundra families for school. However, despite the annual “Getting Ready for School” campaigns organized by the district, out of almost 3. 5 thousand preschoolers in the tundra, only about 10% receive pre-school education [13]. Due to the fact that nomadic families are scattered across the tundra at a distance from each other, it is impossible to cover all children with pre-school preparation even with ideal organization.
According to the latest data, in some villages of the Yamal region in 2019 they began to return zero classes, but somewhere there have been no changes yet. Thus, the goals of nomadic education in the most “nomadic” regions of the YaNAO, if we follow the wishes of parents and current problems, are fundamentally different from Yakutia, since they are aimed more not at preserving traditions, but at preparing for school and, as a result, at improving the quality education in a boarding school, and not on the creation of an alternative form of education at one level or another.
Instead of conclusion
Nomadic education in Russia at the moment is not a systemic phenomenon, only a small part of children from among the indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia go to nomadic schools and kindergartens. The situation in each region is unique due to the specifics of nomadism (length and frequency of routes, remoteness from settlements, etc.), infrastructure development and simply the availability of budgetary funds. The leaders in terms of the number of nomadic educational institutions at the moment are the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug – the most financially prosperous regions of the Arctic.
Such a popular term “nomadic school” is often misleading and creates dissonance due to the discrepancy between the emerging image and reality. The status of “nomadic” provides a different degree of attention from the administration and the media to the educational institution. The lack of a clear definition for such institutions against the background of frequent mentions in the media leads to confusion and distrust in the minds of the population. Sometimes it seems that nomadic schools, like a beautiful image, exist only in the imaginary world of journalists and officials, replacing real tasks in education for nomads – for example, the need for transformations in the boarding school system itself, changes in educational programs, assistance in choosing a profession for northern schoolchildren .
Boarding schools remain the only form of education capable of providing a complete general education for all children from actually nomadic families. According to their own words, it is already a little easier for children to part with their parents, because brothers and sisters are next to them, and relatives live in the village, but the kids still feel sad at home and cry in the first year, so ideas about school without leaving the family never will not stop hovering in the North. Although nomadic schools have not become an alternative to boarding schools, in some cases they are an addition. The flexibility of nomadic education, corresponding to the mobility of nomadic life, makes it possible to solve some educational problems in specific situations. For example, parents asked to open a school in a Dolgan family in Taimyr, because the dormitory building was closed in the village and the children had to huddle with relatives; and in Yamal, nomadic kindergartens help children prepare for school.

Is it possible to finish school in absentia and how to do it?
Pros and cons of part-time education
Many children do not want to go to school for a variety of reasons. Of course, this is impossible – otherwise the child simply will not receive a complete secondary education and will not be able to continue his studies at a technical school or university. The only alternative that allows you to refuse to attend school and successfully graduate from school is the correspondence form of education, which has many advantages:
· The child studies independently according to a convenient schedule;
· All the necessary teaching materials are provided by the school;
The student studies at home in a comfortable environment;
· hostile relations with other children and teachers are excluded;
· The child has enough time for sports and creativity;
· You can study by correspondence anywhere in the world.
Part-time schooling is often the only viable option for children with chronic illnesses. It is very convenient to be a “correspondence person”!
Of course, it is worth mentioning separately the disadvantages of the alternative form of education: minimal communication with the teacher, low level of socialization, which is much more intense among peers, lower quality knowledge and, as a result, not the highest marks in the final exams. Fortunately, all of the above problems do not apply to children who study online – this is an alternative to the school “correspondence”.
Who is suitable for this form of education
Some students are completely unsuitable for full-time schooling due to various reasons related to personality traits, health problems and other factors. Correspondence form is the best option for children:
suffering from chronic diseases;
· involved in sports or creative work and do not have enough time to develop their talent;
with increased anxiety;
introverts;
living in remote settlements;
traveling with parents who are constantly on business trips;
Perhaps your child does not belong to the above categories of children for whom part-time education is the most optimal, however, if the student is comfortable studying at home, then why not meet him halfway? With a high probability, the student will achieve much greater success in his studies, especially under the guidance of a teacher.
Please note! Correspondence education does not exclude attending classes! Students go to class as they wish. In addition, teachers conduct consultations with “correspondence students”, according to the established schedule. Regular communication with the teacher is simply necessary for students to master the material – that is why online schools often hold so-called “live lessons” that take place in real time.
How to switch to part-time education
Parents need to write an application addressed to the school principal. The law does not provide for certain standards for this document – the administration of the educational institution independently determines the content of the form. Usually, the following information is indicated in the application:
Full name of the student and the applicant;
Request for transfer to distance learning and date;
Full name of the head of the educational institution;
Confirmation of familiarization with the educational program;
Date of application and parent’s signature.
You may also need to provide other information on the document. How exactly to draw up an application – it is best to check with the school administration. After reviewing the submitted document, the director will decide on the transfer of the student.
Please note! The transfer of a student to part-time education is carried out only if there are relevant local acts in force in an educational institution! Sometimes parents first have to transfer their child to another school, and only then to distance learning.
How is the training
The student comes to the school for consultations according to the established schedule and receives all the necessary materials for classes. Attendance at the lessons is possible upon request. Consultations with teachers are an integral part of distance learning.
Children who study at home most of the time also come to school to pass various tests: tests, intermediate assessments, half-year cuts and exams. Parents can view their child’s grades and evaluate how effective distance learning is.
Online learning at school – a modern alternative to distance learning
Thanks to the Internet, children can study online anywhere in the world, regardless of their health status, temperament type, character traits and level of intellectual development. An alternative to distance learning is called homeschooling (from the English home – home and school – school, study at school).
In the online school “Synergy” classes are held according to the standards of the Federal State Educational Standard. Of course, our advantages are not limited to the ability to obtain a state-recognized certificate and pass the OGE / Unified State Examination in high school. Parents choose Synergy Internet School for other benefits:
author’s teaching methods;
Convenient platform for lessons and homework;
free preparation for state exams;
Consultations with a psychologist on career guidance;
high qualification of teachers;
year-round enrollment;
Large number of live lessons.
Teachers, mentors, tutors and psychologists work with children at Synergy. Experienced teachers know how to find an approach to each student. Classes are held at convenient times. The progress monitoring system allows parents to always be aware of the progress of the child in various subjects.
Important! Online school “Synergy” has a license for educational activities and state accreditation. Studying at home, homeschoolers receive a truly high-quality education that meets the standards of the Federal State Educational Standard.
How is learning in our online school
The curriculum of the Synergy online school covers grades 5-11. Distance learning with the use of online technologies includes:
· Live classes with teachers;
homework, tests, tests;

How to Start a Daycare in Ontario
Table of contents
Introduction Getting started Regulations Taxation Financing Other resources
Introduction
The child care industry primarily consists of businesses that provide daycare services for infants and children. Your daycare can be a home-based operation, or it can be a commercial centre that serves a particular area or community. You can offer several different types of services; the choice of size, location and specific services will depend on you.
Some examples of daycare services include:
Babysitting
Child care for older children (before and after school care)
Unlicensed or licensed home-based daycare
Licensed centre-based daycare
Licensed child care agency
Nanny services (work in home of employer as a live-in or live-out nanny)
Early childhood education services
Caring for someone else’s children involves a lot of responsibility and a serious commitment. When the children are in your custody you are responsible, by law, for their safety and well-being.
Getting started
When you start a business there are several things to consider before you can sell your product or service. Most businesses in Ontario need to complete a minimum of three basic steps:
Find out what licences and regulations apply to your type of business
Choose a business structure and register or incorporate your business
Determine if you will need to collect and remit HST
Our Starting a Business guide will give you more information on these steps and other basic requirements for starting a business in Ontario.
Read online: Starting a Business
Regulations
Your business may need licences and permits from the federal, provincial and municipal levels of government.
In addition to the information you will find in this guide, you can use BizPaL to find licences and regulations that may affect your business.
Use online: Permits and licences search
Some common licences, permits and regulations that may apply to starting your daycare include:
General child care licensing standards
Child care centres and some home-based daycares in Ontario are licensed by the Ministry of Education. You may plan to offer unlicensed home-based child care, however you will need a licence if you:
Care for more than 3 children under the age of 2 (including your own children)
Care for more than 5 children over the age of 2 (including your own children under the age of 6)
A licence is also needed for private home daycare agencies that contract individual caregivers who provide child care out of their own homes.
As a licensed and regulated home-based daycare provider, you need to meet provincial health, safety and caregiver training standards including:
Caregivers must be over the age of 18
Caregivers for special needs children must have valid first-aid certification
A home visitor will meet with licensed home-based daycare providers on a regular basis to conduct general inspections and provide support.
Additional licensing may be required if you want to care for children with a physical, visual or auditory disability, or if the child has a developmental, communication, behavioural or a chronic medical problem.
If you are planning to provide daycare or childcare services, you can confirm whether you need to be licensed by contacting the Ministry detailing your planned services.
Contact the Ministry of Education:
The Ministry of Education only responds to written inquiries about whether a child care licence is required. You can sent a detailed email to: [email protected].

Day camps or summer camps
Day camps, or summer camps, are geared for school age children and offer activities in a community setting where the children return home in the evenings. Day camps are usually run by the week or by the month, in summers or during school breaks.
Under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, a day camp does not require a child care licence if the program or service:
operates for up to 13 weeks in a calendar year
does not operate on school days
does not operate in a person’s home
only cares for children who are 4 years or older – or, if the program is offered on or after September 1, for children who will turn four by the end of the calendar year.
Note: Day camps in Ontario serving children younger than 4 years of age do require a child care licence.
Consult the Ministry of Education’s web page and fact sheet for more on day camps in Ontario:

You may have regulations or inspection standards to follow if you produce, transport or manufacture specific food products in Ontario. Regulated products include dairy, eggs, fish, meat, honey and other plant-based products. Contact the Ministry directly to find out what will apply to your business.
Home-based food businesses are allowed to sell low-risk, home-prepared foods and are exempt from certain regulatory requirements, such as specified handwashing stations in food premises, compliance with commercial dishwashing requirements and food handling training certification.
Low-risk food items are generally considered non-hazardous and do not require time and temperature control. Some examples of low-risk foods include:
Most breads and buns (without meat, cream filling, etc.)
Most baked goods (with no custard)
Chocolate, hard candies and brittles
Fudge and toffees
Pickles, jams and preserves
Granola, trail mix, nuts and seeds
Cakes (icing that doesn’t require refrigeration), brownies, muffins and cookies

Most businesses that make less than $30,000 in any 12-month period are not required to charge HST; however, you can register voluntarily and claim input tax credits. Speak with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for more information.
