Note on Frequency of Inspections
Centers, Group Homes, and Licensed Family Homes::
In 2014, legislation was passed that changed the number of unannounced visits from two per year to one per year in Child Care Centers, Group Child Care Homes, and Licensed Family Child Care Homes. As a result of this new law, you may see a decrease in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for these types of providers. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint, and visits are scheduled with the facility during the re-licensing process, which occurs every two years.
Registered Family Homes:
Most family homes are registered, not licensed. In 2014, legislation was passed that allows Child Care Licensing to make one unannounced visit to these homes each year. As a result of this new law, you may see an increase in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for Registered Family Child Care Homes. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint. Click here for an overview of each facility and the requirements they must meet according to state law.

What is the Reggio Emilia Approach? – Child Discovery Center
The Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy of education that originated in Northern Italy. The GRCDC does not intend to duplicate this philosophy because the children, families and teachers of Grand Rapids, MI offer a different culture, location and perspective.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy is an approach to teaching, learning and advocacy for children. In its most basic form, it is a way of observing what children know, are curious about and what challenges them. Teachers record these observations to reflect on developmentally appropriate ways to help children expand their academic and social potentials. Long term projects connect core academic areas in and out of the classroom.
Principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach to Education
The following principles guide the practice and decisions made at the Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center and are borrowed from Foundations of the Reggio Emilia Approach by Lella Gandini.
Image of the Child
Children are viewed as competent, curious, full of knowledge, potential, and interested in connecting to the world around them. Teachers are deeply aware of children’s potentials and construct all of their work and environment of the children’s experience to respond appropriately.
Collaboration and Interaction
Collaboration and cooperation are intentional in a school inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to education. The entire system is designed to be connected and in relationship. Nothing is left to sit in isolation. Everything is alive and connected. Children, teachers and families join together to continually improve the system that supports our school community.
The Environment
The space within the school or the environment is considered the third teacher. Teachers intentionally organize, support and plan for various spaces for children. The daily schedules are planned to ensure that there is a balance between individual, small and large group activities, child directed and teacher initiated activity and inside as well as outside experiences.
The Three Subjects of Education: Children, Families and Teachers
For children to learn, their well-being has to be guaranteed; such well-being is connected with the well being of parents and teachers. Children, parents and teachers have rights; the right to safety, care and welfare, the right to be involved and the right to grow professionally.
The Power of Documentation
Documentation is a means to collect information, observations and learning. It can be in the form of observations, photography, video, conversation transcripts and/or visual mediums like paint, wire, clay or drawing materials. Teachers use documentation to identify strengths, ideas, and next steps to support learning.
Emergent Curriculum
Emergent Curriculum is a way of teaching and learning that requires teachers to observe and listen to the children. Teachers ask questions and listen for the children’s ideas, hypotheses and theories. After observing children in action, the teachers compare, discuss, and interpret their observations. Teachers plan activities, studies and long term projects in the classroom based on their observations. Teachers partner with children and the exchange of theories are referred to as the Cycle of Inquiry. Teachers use their interpretations, intentions and goals (social, emotional and academic) to make choices that they share with children. Learning is seen not as a linear process but as a spiraling progression.
The Hundred Languages of Children
The Studio teacher (or Atelierista) works closely with other teachers and the children through the Studio, an intentional space containing materials and tools to pursue thinking and concepts. In addition to the larger Studio, Mini-studios are found in every Discovery. What is done with the materials is not art per se, because in the view of Reggio educators the children’s use of media is not a separate part of the curriculum but an integral part of the whole cognitive symbolic expression process of learning.
The Role of the Teacher
The image of the child shapes the role of the teacher and involves four major components. Teachers are:
Advocates for children: involved in the community, politics relating to children, speaks for children and presents work to other educators and community members.
The Role of Parents
Parents are an essential component of the school. They are an active part of their children’s learning experiences and help to ensure the welfare of all the children in the school. All families are members of the Family Team
The Role of Time and the Importance of Continuity
Time is influenced by the interests and activities that the children bring to life within the school. This in turn impacts schedules, groupings and routines. Teachers get to know children (strengths, needs and personality) because children stay with the same teacher and the same peer group for two years.
Projects
Projects provide the backbone of the children’s and teachers’ learning experiences. They are based on the strong convictions that learning by doing is of great importance and that to discuss in group and to revisit ideas and experiences is the premier way of learning. Project ideas come from experiences of the children and teachers, a chance event or problem posed. They can last from a few days to several months.
What Is Reggio Emilia? Your Guide to This Child-Driven Approach
Researching early childhood education (ECE) programs can be a pretty monumental task. Everyone seems to have an opinion about childcare—and a strong opinion at that. But tab over to the Reggio Emilia provider sites and you’ll see beautiful words in creative fonts, accented with pictures of smiling children playing with natural elements in a bright classroom.
The reason for those lovely images goes far deeper than aesthetic style. “A Reggio-inspired model treasures the many ways children explore their worlds and express themselves,” says Chelsea Meyers, ECE educator at Hilltop Children’s Center. Meyers says a shorthand reference for the Reggio Emilia philosophy is “the hundred languages,” a belief that children use art, language, physicality, experimentation, relationships and so many other avenues as forms of communication and expression.
“When we honor those hundred languages, we see our children’s learning and development in layered ways, and the child comes into sharper focus as a community member and a learner,” Meyers says.
If you love children, it’s easy to see the beauty in that description. But if you are trying to understand schools for your child or if you are interested in teaching and education yourself, you’ll want details. How does the Reggio Emilia philosophy translate into a day-to-day classroom setting? What makes it different for young learners? For teachers?
We asked ECE experts in Reggio-inspired education to fill this picture with a little more color.
What is Reggio Emilia?
Broadly speaking, Reggio Emilia is an approach to early childhood learning named after the town where it originated in Italy. Founder Loris Malaguzzi believed children were in need of a more holistic kind of education after World War II. He began the Reggio Emilia style based on the belief that every child is unique and will express their interests in many different ways.
This belief has practical impact, creating a co-learning environment where teachers learn with the children and work in a lateral relationship as opposed to a hierarchical one. That partnership is also intended to encompass the parents and community of each child.
Reggio Emilia also revolves around the children’s senses, relying on sight, sound, touch and even taste and smell to assist with learning. As a result, Reggio Emilia classrooms tend to look different than your average preschool with large common spaces, natural elements and lots of accessible and curiosity-sparking materials.
Today, many schools describe themselves as Reggio-inspired. Meyers says this is because the Reggio Emilia approach is intended to adapt to the children in the room—it’s about them, their specific families and their communities, not a structured model. “The emphasis on community in a Reggio approach means that you need to truly represent your community—not Reggio Emilia, Italy,” Meyers says.
“Officially, unlike Montessori, there aren’t organizations or agencies that certify a school as a ‘Reggio school.’ Identifying as Reggio-inspired holds us educators accountable to turn towards our families and children when developing our environments and curriculum.”
The four principles of the Reggio Emilia approach
You could easily make this educational philosophy a lifelong study, but there are four central principles guiding teachers in Reggio Emilia.
Emergent curriculum
This means essentially that the curriculum for the classroom is a mashup of the children’s interests, their families’ communication, and the close observation and notes teachers take on their students’ growth and exploration. Teachers conduct planning sessions to compare their notes and decide on projects and materials.
In-depth projects
If you are like many, your early education memories involve trying to sit still in desks facing the front of the room where a teacher presented material. But in Reggio Emilia, the learning is led by each child, and structured around projects. Teachers often call these projects “adventures” to young learners. They might last a week or two—or they might extend the entire school year. Teachers guide the children in choosing an area of research and following it to the project’s conclusion.
“What sets Reggio Emilia apart is its emphasis on student projects,” says Emily Horton of GVEOE. When students show interest in a topic, teachers create projects to encourage that interest. They keep documentation in a portfolio for each child throughout the year, allowing them to track individual development.
Representational development
The Reggio Emilia approach invites children to present their ideas and learning in many forms: print, art, drama, dance, music, puppetry, and so on. The belief that learning and growth can take many forms is also an issue of equity for Meyers. “A child may be more drawn to dancing to tell their stories than drawing, for example, and there is room in a Reggio approach to be excited about that and help them translate that strength into new areas. ”
“Children can demonstrate their ideas in many different ways: dance, paint, wire, clay, pencil, nature materials…other than just number and letter,” says Marty Watson, director of the Dodge Nature Center, a Reggio-inspired preschool. Giving the space for all of these efforts to flourish helps each child build confidence and excitement about their learning.
Collaboration
In a Reggio-inspired classroom, teachers encourage groups to work together using dialogue, comparisons, negotiations and respect. Basing the course of study on the children’s interests creates a collaborative environment that can help foster growth. “The children negotiate with the teachers on which interests will be studied,” says Nancy Farber, director of Reggio school Cushman Scott. She explains that asking the children to help direct the course of learning allows them to feel heard and respected, and encourages their sense of self-worth.
The Reggio Emilia classroom environment
Many of the gorgeous Reggio-inspired classrooms you might see online look a little like the inside of a nice house. Big windows spill daylight onto a kitchen area, lots of big rugs, bookshelves with natural play items, etc. The structure is often more like pods and areas than rows of desks.
While a big, bright and magical space would inspire anyone, most classrooms don’t have those architectural luxuries. As in other ways, the Reggio Emilia approach is less about the surface look and more about what is really happening between kids, families and teachers.
“A Reggio Emilia inspired environment is for the children that use it,” Meyers says. “It’s an environment that the child can affect and that tells each child they belong there.” Meyers says it’s a priority to keep materials accessible and durable so children can explore in an open-ended way.
“There’s definitely an emphasis on natural materials which, for me, is a call back to the natural motivation to explore and learn of childhood,” Meyers says. “Consider sensory input—what balance do your children need in regards to scent, colors, risk opportunities, textures, different height levels, noise volumes—and what do they need in a small group work space versus an imaginative play space?”
No matter what resources Reggio-inspired teachers have to work with, they consider every element of the space thoughtfully to create an atmosphere where children can feel a sense of agency and creativity.
What does it take to be a Reggio Emilia teacher?
This system of learning puts great emphasis on observation and adaptability in its teachers. While it makes a great fit for some, it’s not for everyone. “A circle discussion may lead the day into an entirely different focus,” Farber says, adding that teachers who love spontaneity and are flexible with change tend to thrive.
“As a Reggio inspired teacher, I need to be able to reflect and take risks,” Meyers says. “We know that children learn through play. A Reggio inspired teacher is an advocate for their students’ play and self-determined goals.” She says the role includes going beyond the surface of what you see your students doing to consider the themes, developmental events, challenges and questions children are exploring.
“A teacher who is curious and values children’s contributions will find a Reggio-inspired classroom very gratifying.” Teachers who specialize in Reggio Emilia will obviously have the option of working at Reggio-inspired schools, but they might also find a great fit with many types of schools.
Even without being in a Reggio environment, teachers who love the Reggio Emilia approach can find ways to incorporate those values. Meyers advises looking for a school that clearly empowers both children and educators to create meaningful experiences for themselves.
“For example, one thing that drew me to my center was a program that gave educators time and even funds to work on projects that addressed gaps they saw,” Meyers says. “Children are also engaged in productive work like helping prepare food for snack or sifting the woodchips out of the sand in the sandbox. We are all capable citizens of our community with value to add.”
Go deeper into early childhood education
While a Reggio Emilia approach does find inspiration in sensory detail and aesthetics, Meyers emphasizes that it does not rely on surface appearances to create community. “If you are valuing a certain pretty outcome over a meaningful exchange between child and a material, then that project isn’t serving your students. ”
“A Reggio inspired educator is intentional and responsive so my best advice is to make space for honest reflection and conversation so that you know why you’re doing what you’re doing and you also are ready to be engaged and curious when none of the children approach the material like you thought they would.”
Now you have at least an introductory answer to what is Reggio Emilia, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Reggio Emilia could be the ideal learning approach for your little one—or the ideal working environment for someone like you, someone who believes children really do have a hundred languages.
Regardless of the approach, ECE plays a crucial role in developing the minds of the future. Learn more about its impact in our article, “5 Reasons Why the Importance of ECE Is Impossible to Ignore.”

Pedagogy Reggio Emilia.
Education and training of preschoolers. Imaton Institute
Introduction
Reggio Emilia is a city in the north of Italy, where kindergartens were first opened, in which preschoolers were brought up and taught, guided by the principles of respect and trust in the strong personality of the child. The ideas and methods of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Maria Montessori, Dewey, Bruner and other well-known teachers were taken as a basis. The founder of a new pedagogical approach, Loris Malaguzzi, and active parents believed that it was possible to change the world, change society, starting with changing the fate of children. The new system of education and upbringing was named after the city – the Reggio Emilia approach.
In 1991, the Reggio approach was recognized as the best for preschools. It has dominated the municipal kindergartens in Italy, Germany and other European countries for more than 20 years. Research and projects are key components of the approach. Children are the main initiators of projects. The task of an adult is to help the child express his ideas about the world and remember what he experienced at the same time. An adult does not teach, does not present ready-made knowledge to the child, does not give direct answers to questions, he opens the way to answers, thereby creating conditions for independent learning and development.

Summary
The phenomenon of the regio approach. History and educational principles
Dina Dianova
Organizer of the Green Apple Free Development Studio
Brief history of birth
Italy, Emilia Romagna region, city of Reggio Emilia, 1945 years, the time to overcome the post-war devastation and restore normal life. The historically socially oriented authorities and citizens of the local commune were united by a great desire to build a new life free from the troubles of totalitarianism, based on cooperation and real mutual responsibility.
Residents of the city of Reggio Emilia, led by teacher and psychologist Loris Malaguzzi (1920-1994), built their future by creating their own pedagogical, educational, cultural and social project based on the humanistic ideas of L. Vygotsky, J. Piaget, J. Dewey, M. Montessori, S. Frenet, J. Bruner. In close cooperation with the authorities, parents and teachers, they managed to create not only a new, truly child-centered educational philosophy, but also new principles for organizing and managing the preschool education system.
In 1963, nurseries and childhood schools (kindergartens), founded by citizens and developed thanks to the cohesion and initiative of workers, farmers and the Italian Women’s Union, are transferred to the city administration (municipality of the commune) and become part of the city’s preschool education system.
Today Reggio Emilia is a prosperous city with a strong cultural heritage (1200 years old) with a population of about 160,000 people, with a developed social infrastructure. To this day, the city has a strong tradition of social and economic cooperation and integration, up to twenty percent of the city budget goes to the maintenance and development of nurseries and kindergartens in Reggio Emilia.
Born more than half a century ago, early childhood education has produced a distinct and innovative set of philosophies, educational approaches, and pedagogies, many of which have been validated by research in cognitive psychology and neuropedagogy.
The approach has been widely recognized by educators, psychologists and researchers around the world (J. Bruner, G. Gardner, J. Heckman and others). Studied at Harvard and Massachusetts. In 1991, Newsweek named Reggio Emilia’s early education system the best in the world. In many countries around the world, the approach has been adapted in primary school for the past two decades. Exhibitions of children’s works “100 Languages of a Child”, “Dialogues with Space”, “Ray of Light” and others constantly travel around the world and have received wide recognition.
Loris Malaguzzi International Center has become a pedagogical mecca for all those inspired by the experience of regio pedagogy. The approach is spreading all over the world and influences the formation of national systems of preschool and school education in many countries (European countries, USA, Latin American countries, Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, Japan, South Africa).
Basic educational principles of the Reggio Approach
The Reggio Approach is based on a number of fundamental principles set out in the Regulation of Early Childhood Institutions (Regolamento Scuole e Nidi d”infanzia del Comune di Reggio Emilia, 2009). For convenience, they are described separately, but in fact they represent an inseparable fabric into which a system philosophy based on the mutual influence of these principles is integrated.
The central core that unites all principles is the image of the child the significance of his feelings, as well as the significance of what seems illogical. Instead, we see the rich potential of the child, we see him as strong, powerful, and competent, and, most importantly, we see him directly connected to the world of adults and other children”
Loris Malagutzzi
All that happens in nests and childhood schools (nurseries and kindergartens) in the context of learning and teaching, building relations and professional development, stems from one specific factor – an image of a child.
Children are active participants in the development process
Children are endowed with an extraordinary capacity for learning and change. They are endowed with a variety of resources, connectivity, sensory and cognitive resources, which are expressed in continuous interchange with the cultural and social context.
Every child is a subject with rights who, above all, carries the right to be respected and valued in their own uniqueness and identity and difference from others, as well as in their timelines of development and growth.
Each child, individually and in relation to the group, is the bearer of natural receptivity in relation to others and in relation to the environment and is the creator of experience to which he is able to give meaning and meaning. The child, being a human being, speaks a hundred languages, a hundred ways to think, to express himself, to understand, to communicate with others through thought born from his own experience, where thought itself is the field of experience.
“A child consists of a hundred. A child has a hundred languages, a hundred hands, a hundred thoughts, a hundred ways to think, play and speak. A hundred ways to listen, admire, love. One hundred joyful feelings to sing and understand one hundred worlds to make discoveries. A child has a hundred (and another hundred, hundred, hundred) languages, but ninety-nine of them are stolen from him. School and culture separate the head from the body. They teach: to think without hands, to do without a head, to listen in silence, to understand without joy, and to love and admire only at Easter and Christmas. They teach: to open an already existing world, and ninety-nine out of a hundred worlds steal. They teach: play and work, reality and fantasy, science and imagination, heaven and earth, reason and dreams are things that are incompatible with each other. In general, they teach that there is no hundred. The child says: there are a hundred”
The poetic lines of L. Malaguzzi are a metaphor for the exceptional potential of children, cognitive and creative processes, numerous forms of manifestation of life and acquired knowledge.
The concept of the “One Hundred Languages of the Child” is understood as a variety of opportunities and activities that are transformed and multiplied in the process of interaction and cooperation between children and adults.
Nurseries and childhood schools recognize the value and equivalence of all children’s languages, verbal and non-verbal.
Consciously choosing to see the child primarily as a subject with rights and not just needs is a bold decision that also extends to the treatment of children with special needs. In the Reggio approach, these children are called “special rights” children.
Reggio Emilia in this sense implements a policy of full inclusion at all levels of basic education. When a child with special rights is present in any group, then an additional teacher is attached to this group, but the important thing here is that the “additional” teacher provides additional support to the whole group, and not to an individual student.
This approach to the issue is based on the belief in social constructivism, which is a means of learning and understanding for everyone in the group, whether it be a teacher or a child.
Pedagogy of listening
Highly appreciating the potential of the child, educators shift the main focus to the direct “listening” of children.
Indeed, the pedagogy of the Reggio approach can be called the pedagogy of listening. “Listening” as a metaphor for the efforts of educators to gain the deepest possible real understanding of children and their learning processes. When we literally listen to children and give them time and space to express themselves, we see that we have children who are able to express themselves in a much more complex and abstract way than we used to think. Such abilities of children were discovered in the gardens of Reggio Emilia through the recording and analysis of everyday conversations of children.
In a collaborative educational process, an active listening approach between adults, children and the environment is a necessary condition and context for any educational relationship.
Listening is an ongoing process that nurtures reflection, acceptance, and openness to yourself and others.
This is a prerequisite for dialogue and change. The practice of listening increases the level of attention and sensitivity to cultural, political and value conditions. Nurseries and childhood schools are committed to facilitating these processes and recording them through pedagogical documentation.
Spatial Pedagogy
Reggio-approach considers early childhood as a separate, valuable phase of human development, in which children demonstrate an extraordinary interest in the world and powerful motivation to explore it.
Indeed, the very term used to refer to kindergartens – “school of childhood” (“Scuola d’infanzia”), does not carry the meaning of “preparatory” and does not have the prefix “pre-” inherent, for example, in English the American term “pre-school” (pre-school). This vision of the child is fundamental and has a strong influence on the educational process in the gardens of Reggio Emilia. And as a result, nurseries and childhood schools have little spatial resemblance to a preschool institution.
“A child has three teachers: an adult, another child, and the space that surrounds him. ”
Loris Malaguzzi
The indoor and outdoor environments of nurseries and gardens are conceived and organized as communicating spaces that encourage interaction, autonomy and exploration, curiosity and communication, and are places of coexistence and exploration for children and adults. The environment interacts, modifies and changes in accordance with the projects and the acquired experience of teaching children and adults. The environment is in constant dialogue between architecture and pedagogy. Caring for the decor, facilities and spaces where children and adults are active is part of a pedagogical process that aims at psychological well-being, creating a sense of ease and belonging, as well as aesthetic taste and enjoyment of being in a group.
All of these are also prerequisites for a secure environment. Security is a quality that arises from dialogue and cooperation between the various professional competencies that must deal with these issues and evaluate both the possibilities for avoiding risks and the richness and quality of the opportunities offered.
The design of the furniture suggests multifunctionality. Screens can be used both by children for shadow theater and as a space divider. Children are excellent builders and take great pleasure in building new buildings and settling them in. No childhood school looks the same at the end of the year as it did at the beginning.
The space should be conducive to exploration and self-discovery, both for one child and for a group.
A lot of attention and effort goes into designing furniture and organizing environments and materials so that the child can use them as easily as possible. The craft supplies are in clear containers so kids can find the item on their own.
Mirrors are used for various purposes. They are installed on the ceilings above the tables, at floor level, and also become part of the gaming equipment in the form of a large triangular prism, mirrored inside. Thus, children begin to realize their place in the world around them, which is a key principle of Reggio philosophy.
The significance of the aesthetic dimension in the Reggio approach is emphasized in the whole appearance of the school. The environment engages all the senses, materials can be used in many different ways and for a variety of purposes, encouraging children to analyze shades and colors, textures and smells, and how to use them. However, the schools are not painted in the bright, basic colors that adults mistakenly think children love so much. Instead, the room is made as bright as possible with the help of white and sliding walls, various light sources. Light tables for children’s creativity also create unusual light dispersion. Large windows allow you to combine the spaces inside and outside into one. It is children who bring color to the space around them – through clothes, personal items, their own paintings, sculptures and other objects created by them from natural materials and open-use materials.
In Reggio Emilia Gardens, everything is comfortable and open, thoughtfully designed for communication between parents, children and caregivers.
This open architecture studio house is very intriguing and calls for interaction with the space, objects and people who inhabit it. “Piazza” (square) – a place for general gatherings of the group, where plans, projects and rules can be born and discussed, where children and adults, communicating naturally and naturally, talk on various topics, tell stories and share their thoughts and remember something interesting . Children do not have to sit in a circle, someone can sit on an impromptu stage, and everyone is in comfortable positions for themselves.
A special place is the Atelier, which is both an artist’s studio and a laboratory.
In the first gardens of Reggio Emilia, the studio could be located in a separate room from the common space. Then, along with a large atelier in group rooms, mini-ateliers appeared. Today, the atelier is no longer a specific place, it is an “idea”, the children distribute the space themselves.
Kindergarten is, first of all, a space of opportunities. The environment is not a background, it is a world with which you can interact, it can be completed, transformed, reworked. This is an environment that encourages a variety of interactions, it has places where you can: be alone; do something in the company; play, chat together; with and without a teacher; watch others. The space is visible inside and out. The environment respects the principle of pleasure, desire and innovation. “Nothing without joy,” said Loris Malaguzzi. The environment has an arty look – the talking walls are filled with documentation materials (a photo chronicle of projects with comments from adults and children’s dialogues), wall projects. On walls and special surfaces there are drawings on ceramics, pebbles, copper and cement, sculptures made of clay and copper wire, the “House of Leaves” (collection and sorting of leaves), constructions from “waste” material. In constructive projects, open materials are actively used (various parts, covers, wire, cardboard, packaging), pipes of different textures and diameters, large wooden blocks, saw cuts of tree trunks, branches, stones and bricks.
Training in the Reggio approach is, first of all, research (research training).
Research is one of the main dimensions of the life of children and adults, the need for education, which is recognized and valued. Research within the framework of cooperation between adults and children is, first of all, one of the daily practices, an existential and aesthetic approach necessary for understanding the complex structure of the world, phenomena and systems of coexistence. It is also a powerful tool for renewal in education. Research is recorded through documentation, builds learning, reformulates knowledge, lays the foundation for professional qualities and is an element of innovative pedagogy at the national and international levels.
Educational (pedagogical) documentation
This is the next basic principle of the Reggio approach. Documentation is an integral part of structuring didactic and educational theories, as emphasizes the importance, registers, expresses and makes it possible to appreciate the nature of both the individual learning process and the learning process of a group of children and adults. The nature of the learning process is determined through observation, making these processes a common property.
The educational experience that takes place in nurseries and kindergartens becomes truly meaningful if the documentation that was carried out along the way is revised, redesigned, re-evaluated, i.e. interpreted according to and including different points of view. Accepted by all participants in education, documentation complements the idea of nurseries and childhood schools as a forum in which a culture of childhood and education is developed in a democratic process.
Design
As in M. Montessori pedagogy and Waldorf pedagogy, there is no program in the Reggio approach. But there is design, and this is the next cornerstone of the approach.
Educator, head of the Reggio Emilia Institute of Nurseries and Schools of Childhood, C. Rinaldi, says this about the design: “This is not a free walk and not a trip with a rigid schedule and schedule, it is rather something like traveling with a compass. ”
The term “design” is often understood as a curricula that emerges and changes in the process of implementation, with the interests of the child at its center. But the real meaning of this term is much more ambiguous.
Teachers talk about a curriculum that is developed without a teacher’s leading role, but this does not mean a lack of pre-thinking and preparation.
Teachers learn to observe children, listen carefully to them and value their own ideas in order to gain an understanding of what exactly interests children most at the moment; learn to create strategies that allow children to build learning around their own interests.
Project themes may come from the children themselves, from objects and phenomena of interest to the children, and from the family or larger community. Projects are not limited by strict time frames, they rather develop smoothly in the rhythm of the development of the children themselves. Children may be involved in a long-term project that is not worked on every day. They periodically return to such a project, according to the way their interest leads, again and again re-evaluating the subject and means of the project. The child is the protagonist of the process of acquiring his own knowledge, and he receives the support of educators in the implementation of projects, solves problems that arise internally, using the teacher as a “tool” who can provide help, information and experience in cases where it is needed.
Pedagogy of relationships
The main thing in this format of education is the development of relationships of empathy and trust between adults and children and between children themselves. Learning always takes place within the group, because Reggio Emilia educators consider interaction and the ability to take into account different points of view fundamental in the process of acquiring knowledge. Building such relationships and developing such projects, which are carried out over the course of days, weeks, and sometimes the whole academic year, takes a lot of time and cannot be included in the schedule or special lesson plans. Time, and how it is perceived, thus turns out to be an important factor.
In Reggio Emilia nurseries and kindergartens, learning and teaching always follows the rhythm of the child.
Expressive arts as a means of acquiring knowledge
One of the most interesting elements in the Reggio approach. Detailed drawing is a daily practice in childhood schools, and some of the children’s outstanding work has been widely recognized. Children are also encouraged to participate in a variety of expressive activities such as drama, sculpture, shadow theatre, puppet theatre, painting, dancing, music, pottery, construction and writing.
The abundance of resources in the school’s central atelier and mini-studio in each group room, as well as the presence of a professional atelier artist in each kindergarten during the day, is a testament to the importance of this area of child development. Some themes, such as “light and shadow,” are stimuli that are referred to again and again in the process of teaching children. Both teachers and children have a wide range of materials and resources at their disposal. For this theme, children may be given the opportunity to explore the effect of light and shadow using flashlights and light tables. Children have the opportunity to draw with light, making holes in a black cardboard that is illuminated from below; they can create stories with the help of shadows, using various objects and an overhead projector (overhead projector), stories in which they themselves can take a direct part (shadows and projections of their own body).
For many years, visitors to Reggio Emilia have wondered why the focus was on graphic art rather than other forms of expressive art, music or movement. Amazing detail and expressiveness in children’s drawings is an undoubted hallmark of the approach, but drawing has never been considered the main expressive language of children. In recent years, approach researchers have described a tangible evolution in the development of children’s other expressive languages. This is clearly seen in the children’s work on various projects, such as the Expressive Movement work.
In recent years, the atelerists who have come to work in childhood schools have brought many different changes. Atelerists have appeared, who are specialists in the field of dance or music, and this, of course, has a huge impact on the direction of the development of expressive arts in schools.
While literacy and numeracy undoubtedly have a place in the day-to-day activities of preschools, teachers assign a central role to the expressive arts for many reasons.
they recognize that young children are exceptionally expressive and have an inherent ability to share feelings and emotions, and that imagination plays a key role in children’s exploration of knowledge and understanding of the world;
they are convinced of the paramount importance of the learning process itself, and not its final product. The use of expressive arts allows children to constantly review subjects of interest through the use of many different media and get the opportunity to look at the object of study from different points of view and achieve a deeper understanding of it;
they are aware that too much focus on developing children’s literacy and verbal skills leads teachers to implicitly devalue the non-verbal expressive languages skillfully used by children. Thus, the child’s ability to communicate through gestures, glances, emotions, dance, music, sculpture, drawing, storytelling, and many other expressive languages is highly valued in the Reggio approach, and teachers seek to develop these in the child;
they believe that the expressive arts can give children the opportunity to look at the world and experience it in many different ways. Children are encouraged to use their senses to better understand the world: through observation, analysis and the addition of elements of experience into a single whole, they take apart and reassemble the original, creating an individual whole.
Synthetic activities, such as asking children to draw smells or sounds, are the main features of the approach and aim to give the child a fuller understanding of the world.
According to atelier teachers, “it is in the process of transformation that we become closer to the very essence of life.”
Continuous professional development of teachers
This concept has a special place. In Reggio Gardens, they say that the proper development of employees is not a periodic process. On the contrary, it is part of a permanent, daily, professional and personal work. It is an essential tool to help you interact better with both children and each other.
The Municipal Early Education System of Reggio Emilia has been recognized for its exemplary approach to the continuous development of all teachers. The teacher is encouraged not so much to acquire skills and knowledge in order to pass them on to children, but rather to understand how the process of learning takes place in children. Research, as described above, is a fundamental learning strategy in nurseries and childhood schools. This is reflected in approaches to the role of the teacher in the learning process and professional development in general. A teacher is first and foremost a student.
Training of employees in the Reggio approach is conceived as a continuous, evolutionary process and takes up a significant part of the teacher’s time.
This belief is based on the belief in continuous development as a source and at the same time the result of interaction and participation. Teachers are given time every day to discuss and evaluate the work done. At the meeting, they try to interpret the processes of cognition in children, assess their role in them and propose a further plan of action.
A constant exchange of opinions is achieved through the joint analysis and processing of documents. The fact that two teachers work together with the same group of children for three years indicates the development of a strong professional bond between them. It is a bond where everyone shares their talents and strengths, and where young educators have the opportunity to learn from more experienced colleagues. Once a week, teachers are given time for a meeting where they can share their findings and suggestions with other staff, including an atelier and teacher. Dialogue is a key aspect of the meeting.
As with children, differences of opinion are not only another source of knowledge, but also a fundamental condition of the process.
Practical lessons are discussed, observations are exchanged continuously.
With the help of the pedagogical coordinator, teachers have the opportunity to meet with colleagues from other childhood schools in the city to share experiences and discuss the learning process in their school.
Professional development also takes other forms. When interacting with parents of children, both in person and in group meetings, educators realize the importance of accepting opposing points of view.
Reggio Emilia educators also believe that teachers should be naturally inquisitive and have a keen interest in learning in general. While devoting a lot of time to developing the creative skills of teachers, the emphasis is not primarily on transferring knowledge, but on encouraging them to think outside the box and take different points of view.
Like the other key principles of the Reggio approach, continuous professional development includes three mandatory elements: collegiality, interaction and participation.

Learn more about senior living and senior care
There are multiple types of care and communities available, so it’s important to know which is the best fit for your needs.
Assisted living
At costs ranging from $1,200 to $8,000 per month, assisted living communities are a great choice for someone who needs help with activities of daily living, such as eating, grooming and bathing. Many also offer respite care (short-term stays).
Memory care
Memory care communities are specially designed living environments for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. You can expect that staff members have extra training to help people with memory loss. Costs are $3,000 per month and up. Some also provide respite care.
In-home care
For help with driving, getting around the house, meal preparation, companionship, and light housekeeping, hire a professional caregiver through an in-home care agency. Caregivers can be hired on a one-time basis or a regular monthly schedule. Rates usually range from $20 to $40 per hour.
Independent living
Independent living communities are great for residents who want to enjoy the perks of community living, but who don’t need regular assistance with activities of daily living. Costs range from $1,000 to $4,000 per month.
Nursing homes
Also called skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), nursing homes are staffed by skilled medical professionals who can provide 24-hour support. Some also offer short-term stays for someone who is transferring from the hospital but not yet ready to go home.
Hospice
Hospice care helps provide comfort to your loved one in their last days. Care teams specialize in keeping pain and suffering to a minimum. This care is often provided at home, but care teams can also go to a hospital or other care facility to provide relief.
Help seniors by writing a review
If you have firsthand experience with a community or home care agency, share your review to help others searching for senior living and care.

No care – Daughter | Translation and lyrics
No care
I don’t care
No one asks me for dances because I only know how to flail0013 No care, no care in the world No care, no care in the world I don’t care, I don’t care anymore I don’t care, I don’t care
Love you in a panic because I prefer to sit on fences Spit-kissing on my sickbed I’m not searching for replacements But we are like broken instruments Twisted up and wheezing out the wrong notes Sleepless folks watching light grow Through their early morning windows
I don’t care, I don’t care anymore I don’t care, I don’t care
Oh, I’m too drunk to fight, hurlings curses at your surface Because I’m aware, because it hurts that I’m in love again And you laugh , kiss my neck, say our arguments are insane Fighting over the way something was said While I’m still here like a cheap threat
No care, no care in the world No care, no care in the world I don’t care, I don’t care anymore I don’t care, I don’t care
Oh, there has only been one time where we fucked And I felt like a bad memory Like my spine was a reminder of her And you said that you felt sick I was so heavy hearted, lying side-on with you afterwards How I wanted you to promise we would only make How I wanted you to promise we would only make How I wanted you to promise we would only make love But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass like it could talk the end of us So I just slept it off, slept it off 9
No care, no care in the world No care, no care I don’t care, I don’t care anymore I don’t care, I don’t care
Ah, I’m too drunk to fight I only wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass So I just slept it off Wanted you to promise me we would only ever make Wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love
0013 because I can only spin. I always cling with a stranglehold, as if drowning, wrap my heavy arms around him. I’d rather stand still, leaning against the wall. Don’t care, don’t care about anything. Don’t care, don’t care about anything. I don’t care, now I don’t care. I don’t care, I don’t care.
Panically in love with you, but I prefer not to act And salivating in my bunk. I’m not looking for replacements, But we’re like broken instruments – Upset and wheezing out of tune. Sleepless watch the dawn Through the morning windows.
I don’t care, now I don’t care. I don’t care, I don’t care.
Oh, I’m too drunk to swear, I curse you, Because I know how much it hurts when I’m in love. And you laugh, kiss my neck, say that our disputes are madness. Cursing over the way something was said While I’m standing here like a cheap threat.
Don’t care, don’t care about everything. Don’t care, don’t care. I don’t care, now I don’t care. I don’t care, I don’t care.
We only slept together once, And those are not the best memories, Like I was a reminder of her, And you said that you felt bad. It was so hard for me to lie next to you after what was said, How I wanted to take the promise that we… How I wanted to take the promise that we… How I wanted to take the promise, that we were only let’s make love. But I felt like I was choking on broken glass, So I just went to bed. You see, it seemed to me that after my words we would part, So I just went to bed, went to bed.
Don’t care, don’t care about everything. Don’t care, don’t care about anything. I don’t care, now I don’t care. I don’t care, I don’t care.
Oh, I’m too drunk to swear, I wanted to make a promise, that we would only make love. But I felt like I was choking on broken glass, So I just went to bed. I wanted to make a promise that we… I wanted to make a promise, that we would only make love.

Ask the Expert: Why is a Preschool Education Important? ‘When Children Attend High-quality Pre-K Programs, They Get a Really Great Boost in Early Skills That Set Them Up for Success in Elementary School,’ Says Assistant Professor Michael Little
This is part of the monthly “Ask the Expert” series in which NC State College of Education faculty answer some of the most commonly asked questions about education.
Early childhood is a critical time when a child’s brain is highly impacted by the contexts and environments that surround them. It is for that reason that NC State College of Education Assistant Professor Michael Little, Ph.D., says a preschool education is important for all students who are able to attend.
“Oftentimes, when children attend high-quality and effective Pre-K programs, they get a really great boost in early skills that set them up for success in elementary school,” said Little, who studies policies and programs that seek to improve early educational outcomes for students with a focus on connections between preschool and early elementary grades.
Decades of research have demonstrated the benefits of preschool, Little said, including a long-term study of an early model Pre-K program that began in the 1960s. Participants in that study, who are now middle aged, have been followed throughout their lives by researchers who have found that those who attended the preschool program demonstrated beneficial outcomes throughout their lives, including having superior health outcomes and being less likely to be incarcerated than those who did not attend preschool.
Studies on scaled up Pre-K programs, including North Carolina’s state-funded Pre-K program, also show that attendance leads to robust benefits for kids that set them up for success in early elementary school grades, Little said.
Despite these initial benefits, Little said that more can be done to help children sustain the academic gains that they make in preschool. Stronger alignment between preschool and the K-12 school system, specifically in kindergarten through third grade, can help prevent “Pre-K fadeout,” a phenomenon in which the early benefits of preschool can diminish in elementary school.
“This is a really critical challenge because, to deliver on the promise and effectiveness of Pre-K, we need to make sure that we’re sustaining the gains of Pre-K throughout elementary school and beyond,” he said. “That means coordinating and creating an aligned system of early learning that builds upon the gains that kids made in Pre-K and sustains them throughout the early grades. This is often referred to as P-3 alignment.”
Little’s own research has demonstrated that school-based preschool programs, which are located within an elementary school rather than in a separate building, could be a crucial element to improving P-3 alignment. When preschools reside in the same location as K-3 teachers, it can create conditions for educators to better collaborate and share student data in order to break down barriers that often exist between the worlds of Pre-K and K-12 learning.
Making sure that preschool and kindergarten teachers are able to communicate and create stronger transition practices from Pre-K to kindergarten can also help support P-3 alignment, Little said.
In addition to helping children to sustain academic gains, P-3 alignment also has the benefit of helping schools to achieve goals of educational equity, as children who attend state-funded preschool programs are often historically marginalized students or students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“If the effects of Pre-K simply fade away once they enter elementary school, we’re not delivering on the promise of preschool as an equity achieving policy intervention. For us to close achievement gaps and really deliver on the promises of Pre-K, we need to ensure through P-3 alignment that the benefits of Pre-K are sustained,” Little said.

Publicly funded pre-K programs enjoy broad public and political support, largely because of research suggesting that preschool graduates enjoy both short-term and long-term benefits, including improved academic and school readiness, higher graduation rates, and lower incarceration rates. Public preschool is also a financial benefit to lower- and middle-class parents, as quality pre-K can cost as much as a college tuition.
“We are at a really critical moment for pre-K in the United States,” said Suzanne Bouffard, an education researcher and author of the newly published book The Most Important Year: Pre-Kindergarten and the Future of Our Children.In 2016, enrollment in state-funded preschool programs reached an all-time high of nearly 1.5 million children in 43 states.
While Bouffard applauds the momentum to make pre-K more accessible, she said policy makers are not paying enough attention to what is happening in these classrooms.
“We need to look at how we do pre-K, not just whether we do it,” said Bouffard. Without this vision, not only will students be poorly served, lawmakers may ultimately say, “Well, we tried that, we funded it, and it didn’t work.”
“Quality,” she said, “really matters.”
The Most Important Year
Pre-K is a foundational year because, for most children, it provides their initial exposure to school and sets the tone for their educational career. “They develop certain feelings, perceptions, and ideas about school. It’s a great opportunity to get kids off on the right foot,” said Bouffard. Conversely, she noted, a sub-par experience in pre-K has the potential to create “enduring negative emotions about school.”
According to Bouffard, researchers have found that few pre-K are truly poor quality, and few are truly excellent. Most are stuck in the middle “with considerable room for improvement.”
She argues that many parents and lawmakers don’t know what to look for in a pre-K classroom — and that even elementary school administrators may not be well-versed in the distinct needs of this developmental age.
When Bouffard talks to parents, she tells them, “Don’t worry about a gorgeous facility. The most important things to look for is how the adults interact with children. You want to see them engage with children in a way that is positive, nurturing and genuinely curious.”
In fact, according to her research, the best pre-K programs are staffed by trained teachers who know how to build students’ self-regulation skills; nurture their creativity and curiosity; and foster an environment of playful learning.
Building Self-Regulation Skills
According to Bouffard, self-regulation — the ability to manage one’s behavior and emotions in a given situation — is the the most important skill to foster at this age.
“Good pre-K programs effectively build students’ self-regulation skills that will help them experience success in pre-K and beyond,” said Bouffard. These classrooms teach children “how to be learners,” including how to deal with difficult emotions, how to pay attention, and how to be peers who listen to and interact positively with their classmates.
“You want to teach children how and why to behave. What to do instead of just what not to do,” said Bouffard. Effective pre-K classrooms teach self-regulation through songs and routines; picture prompts can remind children of the steps in a process. Skilled preschool teachers have strategies for redirecting student behavior and use language that provides instruction. “It’s the difference between, ‘Be quiet – I’m reading’ and ‘I know you are excited to share. Can you hold that and tell me after we finish story time?’”
Bouffard said that rewards and punishment are not effective tools because they do not teach kids how or why to behave. Rather, “it just emphasizes that you want them to do something.” Ironically, she said, “Kids who have the biggest struggle with self-regulation are those most damaged by these strategies.” When they are unable to earn the reward, they may feel frustration or shame or simply decide to stop trying.
Nurturing Creativity and Curiosity
Effective pre-K classrooms also engage students’ natural curiosity and creativity. In these classrooms, said Bouffard, you will hear teachers using open-ended inquiries such as:
“How do you know that?”
“How did you figure that out?”
“Explain to me what you are doing.”
“What do you think will happen if we . . . ?”
This dialogue between teacher and student focuses on the process of learning. “In pre-K everything should be process focused and not outcome focused. ” For example, art projects should be more about exploring materials and techniques than about producing a replica of what the teacher made.
Fostering Playful Learning
Much of the public debate around early childhood education comes down to which matters more: academics or play. That’s a false dichotomy, said Bouffard. “Play is really the way that young children learn. It’s a way that they experience the world, and it engages them and helps them learn more deeply.”
Bouffard is concerned that the “skill and drill” approach to teaching academics is most frequently used in classrooms serving at-risk preschoolers, in an attempt to close the gap on school readiness. Unfortunately, these teaching methods can “turn young kids off to school and introduces the possibility of shame and anxiety. [Skill and drill] doesn’t teach kids the curiosity and critical thinking skills that they need to develop in early childhood.”
However, pure free play — an approach she hears advocated more frequently by wealthier cohorts — also misses the mark. “I hear a lot about just ‘free play classrooms.” But, Bouffard said, if it only involves setting out materials and not thinking about learning goals, there’s a real missed opportunity. For example, she said, researchers have found that children used more sophisticated language about building activity when they had a goal in mind.
What effective preschools aim for is “guided play” or “scaffolded play,” in which adults create a purposeful play environment that encourages student exploration. “For example, in setting up blocks, a teacher might put up pictures of buildings to inspire kids. They may ask students, ‘What are you doing?’ and gently push kids’ thinking by offering new information or nudging them to experiment,” said Bouffard.
Of course, the ability to find this balance rests with teachers. “Good teachers make it look really easy. That’s why it’s really important that we invest in teachers and give them the training to find that middle ground — to guide play without overly controlling it and to encourage kids to develop an understanding of letters and numbers without ‘skill and drill. ’”
Investing in Teacher Training
As states and cities make a commitment to fund early childhood education, they must also invest in support and training for pre-K teachers, said Bouffard. “We need coaches or mentors for early childhood teachers, particularly in the first few years of their career.” Teachers also need support in the form of other specialists, especially in responding to students with trauma and special needs. She calls for more cooperation between state agencies to make sure pre-K students are set up for success: “This is a time when kids age out of early intervention, so a lot of kids at community-based centers aren’t getting the help they need.”
And it’s not just teachers who need research-based training: “Everyone involved in the fate of these kids needs to have information about what developmentally appropriate practices look like,” including principals, site-managers and lawmakers.
Bouffard hopes this “critical period” of expansion leads to a more systematic review of the early childhood education glide path. “Sometimes policymakers view pre-K as the answer for closing the achievement gap,” she said. “We need to think about our whole system of care from birth to school.”
DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
Recently, in Russia, as in the whole world, a kind of educational “baby boom” has emerged – a powerful movement to develop education for young children. The impetus was the world-famous study, according to which government investment in the early education of children significantly improves the life outcomes of its citizens (Nobel Prize winner James Hackman). It has become obvious to politicians all over the world that early education is the first and most important step in a person’s education and investments in it are the most justified.
Pre-school education in Russia should provide children and their families with conditions for the realization of the age and individual capabilities of each child – the development of his initiative, independence and responsibility. It is at preschool age that the basic characteristics of the child’s personality, his interests and opportunities are laid, it is preschool education that ensures the emotional well-being of the child, his positive social and personal attitudes. Ignoring the characteristics of a child’s development at this age is fraught with serious, deep problems in his later life, including in school education, following immediately after preschool childhood.
We all come from childhood, our future rests on it as a foundation. It is in our power to make this foundation strong and reliable.
Problems of preschool education
Russia traditionally has competitive advantages in preschool education, which has been around for about 100 years. The main advantage is a well-established infrastructure, including buildings, functioning supply, security, communication, system management services, traditions of age-related pedagogy and the mass nature of the profession of preschool teachers. However, some features of Russian preschool education do not meet the challenges of the modern world. Excessive centralization of state responsibility for preschool education, financing of the system “from above”, lack of real powers and financial independence of municipalities, outdated strict regulations, petty, dictate of controlling departments, lack of independence of preschool organizations, early forced education of children – all this complicates the development of the system of preschool education in Russia .
The problem of equality and accessibility of preschool education. In many constituent entities of the Russian Federation, there are long queues of people wishing to send their child to kindergarten – a symptom of unsatisfied demand. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, 25% of preschool children in 2013 did not attend preschool institutions due to the lack of places, while in big cities there are 38.3% of such children. The network of preschool educational institutions (hereinafter – PEI) in Russia in 2012 decreased by 1. 2% compared to 2011, and the queue in them grew by more than 7%, according to the results of federal statistical monitoring of the activities of preschool educational institutions, which is carried out annually by Rosstat . At the same time, the coverage of children by preschool educational institutions amounted to 62.1% at the end of 2012, which is 1.5% higher than in 2011. This trend continued in 2013 – coverage is growing, and the network, albeit slightly, is shrinking. The fact is that in an effort to eliminate the queues, many municipalities solve the issue due to the filling of groups. Due to the desire to report on the indicators of enrollment increase in some regions (for example, in North Ossetia), the number of children in a group (per one qualified caregiver) reaches 50 people. (In most developed countries, the norm is 2 educators for 20 children at the same time). In the new federal standard for preschool education, adopted in 2013, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation did not include the maximum occupancy rate for groups – even the high one (27 people per teacher), which was laid down in the draft standard. Even the proportion of “number of children per adult”, which operates in the most underdeveloped countries, was excluded. As a result, the lives and health of children are under threat, the working conditions of teachers have become extremely difficult – overworked educators barely have time to dress the children for a walk. In several regions, an outflow of teaching staff from kindergartens was recorded.
If children aged 2.5 years or older still have the opportunity to be in municipal preschool institutions (according to Rosstat, 5.98 million children used preschool services in 2012), then children of toddler age (from two months and older) this opportunity is almost entirely lacking. There were only 1.3 thousand children under one year of age in the system of preschool education in 2012, and in 2013 the situation worsened. Despite the ever-increasing need of families for nursery groups, many municipalities have begun to increase the number of places for older preschool children at the expense of toddlers.
One of the solutions to the problem of accessibility could be the development of a network of non-governmental preschool organizations. However, the strict regulations of the educational authorities seriously impede the emergence of non-state kindergartens, which are necessary to solve the existing problem of accessibility. An example is the unjustified interference of the sanitary department in the educational process – for example, actual bans on opening kindergartens in vacated premises of residential buildings, excessive requirements for premises and equipment in a kindergarten. Kindergartens, in an effort to follow the overly strict standards of SanPins and the State Fire Supervision, are turning into faceless, almost sterile rooms, where there is no place for children’s creativity on the walls, written communication with parents, photographs and posters, although not a single case of fire for this reason has been recorded anywhere.
In countries with a developed system of pre-school education, the lack of places in kindergartens leads to support for non-state forms. The feeling of one’s own total responsibility, and, consequently, the need for total control, does not allow the governing bodies of preschool education in Russia to follow this path. The process of development of non-state forms of preschool education in Russia is very slow.
Trends towards the unification of education in Russia create problems with the variability of its content, forms and methods. The increased requirements of society for the quality of preschool education can only be satisfied in the conditions of variability, flexibility of programs, pedagogical technologies and forms of preschool education. The variability of preschool education should become the natural response of the system to the fact of the diversity of preschool childhood, the wider the younger the child. Flexibility and multiplicity of options for the development of children, the diversity of their interests are a feature of preschool age. The processes of globalization and the deterioration of the health of the population have increased this diversity many times over: in one group of a kindergarten there are children from different countries, cultures, social strata, speaking different languages and integrated into different religious systems. Children with disabilities may also attend. Teachers and the child’s family should be able to choose preschool educational programs, forms and methods depending on the specific situation. The traditionalist attitudes of the system often impede this process, striving for the unification of preschool education.
In 2013, Russia adopted a modern and progressive state standard for preschool education, taking into account current trends in the development of this area. The standard supports variability, which, given as a direct right of the teacher (his academic freedom), as a necessary condition for his professional activity, can become a fulcrum that will make the system diverse and meet the special needs of families.
In modern education, based on variability and diversity, the figure of the teacher becomes central. In order to exercise their right to academic freedom, a teacher must have the appropriate competencies, must understand how to build the educational process in terms of variability. In many countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden, etc.) there are high requirements for the quality of training of teachers working in the preschool education system: preschool teachers have at least bachelor’s degrees. In particular, it was thanks to the understanding of the role of the teacher that the Scandinavian countries managed to create one of the most humane and effective systems of preschool education. The OECD studies provide convincing evidence of this. One of the main priorities of teachers is the education of children’s ability to free initiative action. The Russian standard of preschool education also sets this task. In the very near future, methodological materials will appear that will help teachers successfully solve this problem – they are already in development.
However, Russian kindergartens usually employ people trained according to an outdated model or who have no professional training at all. The social status of the profession is still low. The level of salaries of preschool teachers, who are the lowest in education, in no way corresponds to the highest responsibility for the fate of the child. When choosing the profession of preschool teachers, the “principle of double negative selection” is most effective – school graduates who do not have high professional ambitions often enter the pedagogical college, and college graduates who have not managed to get another job go to work as educators. The recent increase in salaries did not change the situation enough, since, on the one hand, it was not related to the quality of work of educators, and on the other hand, it affected only educators, and not their assistants and administrative staff.
In the last few years in the system of pre-school education, a strict orientation of kindergartens towards preparing children for school has emerged. At the same time, preparation for school is usually understood only as learning to read, count and write, although the most important thing is the child’s motivation, interest in learning at school. The practice of forced education of children too early inevitably leads to the disappearance of educational motivation, and as a result, to the emergence of school maladjustment and school neuroses.
It is well known that for developmental preschool education, preparation for school should not act as an isolated task. School readiness is a natural consequence of pre-school education, which is focused on each child. If a child develops in accordance with the laws of age and masters all the activities and cultural practices that are age-appropriate – at an individual pace and along an individual trajectory – the result is his desire and ability to learn further, which are real school readiness.
The misunderstood “preparation for school” leads to the overorganization of the child’s life in the kindergarten, displacing the independent play of children, which, according to the world’s leading psychologists, is the main factor in the development of the child. The game becomes something optional, arising according to the “leftover” principle, if there is time left from classes.
The merging of kindergartens with schools, which is a new trend in the field of preschool education and is most often due to the desire for economy, significantly worsens the conditions for the development of children. The education of young children is being started by teachers and administrators who are not prepared for such work, who do not understand the specifics of preschool childhood and who use “school” teaching methods.
At the same time, for example, in Denmark, there are playrooms that adults are not allowed to enter so that they do not interfere with children’s spontaneous play. OECD studies convincingly show that the main priorities of preschool education in the Scandinavian countries, such as developing the ability to take initiative, to interact between children, to prevent any violence against the child (the main task is to make the child feel good), healthy nutrition, hardening lead to that children are well prepared for schooling. Moreover, these countries are the most successful in the International Student Achievement Survey (PISA).
Parents are much less concerned about the role of preschool organizations in preparing their children for school than it seems to be the heads of educational authorities and even teachers of kindergartens and schools, who often consider preparation for school to be the most important task of a kindergarten. According to a study conducted by teachers of the Moscow State Pedagogical University and the Moscow Higher School of Economics, the priorities of parents are the psychological comfort and safety of children in kindergarten, their health, healthy nutrition (proper diet), early diagnosis and, if possible, correction of developmental problems. The latter indicator is especially important – problems detected at the age of 3 years in 50% of cases can be fully compensated before coming to school (this is shown by the experience of the Samara region), while at a later age, full compensation is either impossible or requires more efforts.
Closed kindergarten is a big problem. The family is a very important resource for preschool education, since the child at this age is closely connected with it. But parents, as a rule, are poorly informed about the content of their child’s education in a Russian kindergarten and have almost no influence on it. Separation from the family leads to many bad consequences both for the child himself (neurosis, “abandonment” syndrome, victimhood, learned helplessness, etc. ), and for the education system itself: teachers often fight with parents instead of making them allies . It is necessary to take into account the experience of the best kindergartens in the country, where the family is closely and very successfully involved in the educational process.
Parents’ interest in additional services in the field of preschool education is growing rapidly, and the problem of access to these services and information about them is very acute. Most often, low-income families need early diagnosis services, while they have neither information nor real opportunities to receive such services. Early diagnosis services make it possible not only to identify a health problem, but also to correct it in time, because if a problem is identified already at school age, it most often cannot be completely corrected.
The emergence of inclusive kindergartens in Russia, where both healthy children and children with disabilities study, can be assessed as a successful and successful undertaking. There are still few such kindergartens, even in big cities there are only a few of them, but the staff of teachers who work there are highly professional, and it is no coincidence that there are queues for such kindergartens, and not only from children with disabilities. There they respectfully and attentively communicate with each child, teach children to communicate with each other without offense and conflicts. The experience of such gardens should be extended to the entire system, but in no case should they be forced to spread until qualified personnel are trained.
The problem of assessing the quality of pre-school education is acute in Russia. At the heart of this problem lies the already mentioned tendency towards the unification of education. Departmental control and supervision most often has nothing to do with assessing the quality of preschool education itself, but only performs the function of supervision, forcing teachers and the kindergarten administration to follow some formally written rules for organizing their work, constantly reporting on their every step. At the regional level, mechanisms of petty total control over the actions of teachers are applied, i.e. – direct interference in the professional actions of the educator by officials. The process of educational interaction between the teacher and children is being destroyed. The ever-increasing mountains of papers and other directives from above are a consequence of this process.
Evaluation of the quality of education plays a big role in the real improvement of educational systems. In Russian preschool education, there has not yet been a clear idea of what kind of education we are ready to consider quality. In the latest regulatory documents, in particular, in the Federal Standards of Preschool Education, the grounds for setting the main tasks of the sphere are outlined, which makes it possible to build a transparent system for assessing its quality. The main task of preschool education is the creation of psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of the child’s intellect, his positive socialization and individualization, the protection and strengthening of his health, and ensuring his emotional well-being. The standard specifies the requirements for such conditions and allows them to be assessed.
It is important to involve parents in assessing the quality of preschool education. Now, if they are involved in the evaluation, it is most often through filling out questionnaires, which usually takes place formally. Evidence from international studies strongly suggests that parents have an important role to play in evaluating the quality of services offered to children. An effective multi-position assessment of the quality of preschool education should be built on the principles of democracy, equality of educational opportunities, freedom and emancipation of children, solidarity, which implies cooperation and compromise between teachers and parents.
Priority tasks for the development of preschool education
The emergence of the Federal State Standard for preschool education is an important step in understanding its quality. The standard is based on the inherent value of childhood and calls for respect for the personality of the child. The requirements for the programs and conditions of preschool education that are put forward in it take into account the data of modern research and provide grounds for the development of a new quality assessment system, primarily based on the conditions for psychological comfort, the well-being of the child, and the development of his social competencies.
Respect for the child and his family should become the main priority of the preschool education system, and this is what the future teacher should be taught. He should be able to teach proactive action, communication, educate the child’s self-esteem, stimulate his interest in another, unlike. In a preschool institution, conditions should be created for children to play independently, the space for initiative action should be expanded. The very appearance of the premises should stimulate the possibilities of various activities of the child and indicate respect for him. The presence, for example, of toilets with doors is a sign of such respect.
It is critically important to create conditions for the diversification of the system of preschool education in Russia. In particular, it is necessary to promote the development of a network of non-governmental preschool organizations, private entrepreneurship, and greater participation of society in the management and assessment of the quality of education. One of the first steps should be to change strict departmental regulations by removing outdated and unjustified prohibitions, including those related to fire safety, which make it difficult to place children’s drawings and crafts on the walls of kindergarten premises.
The most important task is to involve families in preschool education. The ability to build genuine partnerships with parents is the most important competence of a preschool teacher and the key to successful child development. Education of young inexperienced parents, their advisory support, including through Internet services that have been quality assessed by specialists, is an important type of service that allows supporting the development of children at an early age.
Federal law guarantees preschool education for children from two months of age. It is important that this norm of the law is respected, and in various forms, which make it possible to diagnose and correct developmental problems early. It is necessary to create centralized development support services in the regions, which, on the one hand, would provide advisory assistance to families, and on the other hand, with the help of specialists (speech therapists, psychologists, etc.), would correct the problems of children’s development, bringing them as far as possible, to the level of development corresponding to the age norm.
It is necessary to ensure the formation of the budget for preschool education from local taxes at the municipal level, providing for the responsibility of the subject of the federation in case of their insufficiency. Municipal governments should have real powers to manage the local processes of education for young children.
It is necessary to significantly increase the number of places in preschool institutions, not increasing, but reducing the occupancy of groups, gradually bringing the occupancy standards closer to European standards, and changing the structure and volume of the budget in order to introduce this level of education into a competitive environment (competition for the child) .
For this, it would be appropriate, at least at the level of subjects of the federation, where coverage problems are solved more effectively (Moscow, Belgorod region, some Northern regions), to introduce norms for the ratio of the number of children per adult, which increase with the age of pupils.
All these tasks can be successfully solved only with the availability of professional personnel – first, it is necessary to provide for compulsory and high-quality secondary vocational education for educators, and professional training for the administration of preschool institutions. As for the further increase in salaries in this sector, it would be advisable to increase them first of all for those employees who have undergone high-quality training or retraining and can demonstrate new competencies necessary for successful work within the new standard.
For the new Federal Standard to work, the federal authorities must provide advanced training courses for all employees. They should not give lectures about what is due, but teach behavior and techniques, the ability to observe and intervene without violence against the personality of the child. Preparing trainers for such courses is one of the priorities.
Participation in international studies, which are now starting at once in several international organizations, will allow Russia to track its progress in the field of preschool education and compare its achievements with others. It is important, therefore, that public authorities consider such research not as the results of competition with other countries, but as a resource for development, and provide them with support.

According to the adopted Law “On Education”, preschool education becomes a stage of lifelong general education. In this regard, many questions arise. How important it is that the child goes to kindergarten and receives education and upbringing there, and not at home in the family, and if the child goes to kindergarten, then what level of development he should achieve, what standards he must meet. Attitudes towards standards in preschool education are ambiguous. Are they needed? If yes, in what form? We asked leading Russian and foreign scientists to answer these questions.
– Are standards needed in preschool education?
Larisa Alekseevna Paramonova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Director of the Research Institute of Preschool Education. A. V. Zaporozhets:
– On the one hand, standards are a positive thing, because if they are built correctly in terms of content and preserve the specifics of preschool age, then we will have a competent idea of what happens during preschool age in the development of the child and what challenges should be meet these standards. Thus, we will have, despite the variability of the types of preschool institutions, a common base of ideas about the necessary things that should take place at preschool age. Then distortions, and there are many of them, as in school age, will be much less.
On the other hand, the standards should provide for variability and provide an opportunity to implement them in any situation, using the characteristics of each preschool institution.
Sonia Sheridan, professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden:
– Sweden has pre-school education programs. There is a regulation that requires preschools to operate with certain quality standards. Specialists should evaluate all the processes that take place in educational institutions. They track the learning processes of preschool age. We are talking about the assessment of the institution, not the child.
As such, there is no single criterion or method of education. Teachers can choose how they work with children. We also have an inspection agency, the meaning of which is to analyze the work of preschool institutions.

More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment.
There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.
While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced.
Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers
While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
Home child care or family childcare
Child care services
Preschool
Nursery
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.
Other Things to Think About
One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in. If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.
No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.
Switching Day Care Centers
Choosing Another Child Care Provider
So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.
Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.
In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
Child Care Options for Low Income Families
One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:
Extended Day Program
The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.
The Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.
Head Start
Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.
Child Care Voucher Program
The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.
A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.
The head of a kindergarten in Yekaterinburg spoke about terrible salaries and a shortage of nannies – April 30, 2023
Nannies have to be torn into two groups of kids in order to somehow earn a living

9 0002 The head of one of the kindergartens in the Verkh-Isetsky district of Yekaterinburg told why no one goes to work with small children. It is in this area that there is an acute shortage of nannies, and for good reason: junior teaching staff have extremely low salaries, and all benefits were canceled back in 2013. Who wants to work for a penny?
In order to somehow survive, nannies have to be torn between two groups of babies, and the quality of childcare suffers from this. Read the manager’s story about the acute shortage of personnel. Further – from the first person.
My kindergarten is sorely lacking staff. And the reason is not that the leader is a tyrant, we have a very friendly team, but people go after the money. Now I’m talking about junior service personnel, not about pedagogical ones.
I analyzed the salaries of nannies in different districts of Yekaterinburg, because it was not clear to me why my people were fleeing, for example, to the Zheleznodorozhny district. And there are more salaries.
And in order for people to get more, they have to work for several rates. That is, imagine, one teacher for two groups. And at the same time, their second rate is not 18,600, it is paid from a salary that is only 12,400. The nannies have an eight-hour working day, that is, they come later and leave earlier than the educators.
In the Leninsky district, only salaries of 17,000 plus incentives, but in my case they generally receive 17,000 in general, and minus taxes – only 16,000.
There are also special requirements for nannies: secondary vocational education and no criminal record : Yury Orlov / City portals

The situation is terrible and very difficult, I’m talking about the Verkh-Isetsky district, and we are already howling like a wolf.
At the moment I am working at a loss, that is, I am taking money from the fund to pay people’s salaries. We have a big, good area, but people don’t want to work for that kind of money, and it’s understandable why. Now I have only four nannies left in the kindergarten for 12 groups.
And you understand that you can’t hire anyone to work with children. This requires secondary specialized education, refresher courses, medical examination. But okay, we conduct a medical examination at our own expense and pay for courses, but this is not enough if a person has completed only nine classes.
And if earlier we had vouchers, free education in kindergarten for children of junior teachers and we could somehow lure them, now there is nothing at all. Only a good attitude, which you will not be full of.
Every morning I start with the fact that I open the labor exchange and call people. But the conversation quickly ends at the stage when I name the address and salary level. Already at my own expense, I hung ads wherever possible.
And I’m not the only one. We raised these issues at the meeting, a dead number, all to no avail. Everything depends on the numbers of the city.
Recall that earlier Vice Mayor Yekaterina Sibirtseva said that the mayor’s office intends to return benefits for nannies, but for this it is necessary that the issue be raised at the regional level. In 2013, junior caregivers had the right to have their child out of turn go to the kindergarten where the mother works.
Earlier, another manager and an employee of a private security company told who and how guards kids in kindergartens in Yekaterinburg.
Previously, Yekaterinburg City Hall named the district where the situation with places in kindergartens is the worst (and this is not Akademichesky). But in a kindergarten on the outskirts of the city, there is another problem: a real war broke out there because of a mother who writes batches of complaints – and for a reason: after her appeals, several violations were discovered.
In the Urals village of Beloyarsky, a kindergarten was suddenly closed for repairs without warning the parents in advance.

“As a working mother, few things can distract you more than worrying about the wellbeing of your children while you are at work. Thankfully, I have never had this problem since my kids have been at CDC. I enrolled both my girls at CDC well before they were born at the recommendation of friends, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made about their care. The staff is warm and personable, the facility is safe and the teachers are amazing! I refer to them as “their other Mamas.” When I drop off my girls in the morning I know I don’t have to worry about whether they are learning, playing, safe or happy until I pick them up again at the end of the day.”
“Both of my boys have been at CDC since they were 12 weeks old and have been through all of the programs including Pre-K, Summer Sensation, and Be Cool After School.
I can’t say how much they have enjoyed being there. They have made so many friends over the years. Every time I walk through the door I feel so at home. I love walking in and everybody you pass tells you “Good morning” and when you leave it is always “Have a good day!”. I can’t say enough about the memories we’ve made there and all of the people that we’ve developed relationships with. We feel like we are part of the family there and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a loving, caring, and learning environment for their children.”
“CDC is not just a day care…it is a family. It is easy to drop off the twins each morning, knowing they will be surrounded by so much love and knowledge.”
“We have been bringing our two year old son Hank to the CDC since he was ten weeks old.
We initially chose this day care because of a friend’s recommendation, and I am so glad that we listened! As a first time mom, I was nervous about leaving my baby with strangers, but I quickly realized that Hank was in excellent hands with the staff at CDC. Now that he is in a toddler classroom, he is learning something new every day. I know my baby is safe, happy and well cared for while I am at work, and there is nothing more important to me than that. Thank you to all of the staff at CDC who greet us by name each morning. We love being a part of the CDC family!”
“It’s a scary thought to consider handing over the care of your child for more than 8 hours every workday. Everyone told us we needed to check out FUMC’s Child Development Center. Seven years and two children later we feel so Blessed to be a part of the CDC family. They have met and exceeded our every expectation.
We assumed the daycare would keep our children safe and help teach them basic developmental skills, but what we’ve realized is that we have a true partner in raising confident, loving children. It’s hard to put into words what a relief it is to feel that the person in charge of your child’s care truly loves them. In addition to helping us teach them how to love and be loved we are so pleased with the academic progress we’ve seen in both children. From the first infant class to our son’s Pre-K class; we have been impressed with the level of education we’ve experienced. We consider CDC a “school” and the staff truly are teachers. I am certain CDC is the main reason our son’s transition to Kindergarten was so smooth! We are forever thankful for the staff at Child Development Center and would recommend the center to all.”
“Three of our children have grown up in the Gertrude Remmel Butler Child Development Center (CDC) and now that our oldest is in the public school system, we see how well the CDC prepared him on multiple levels: education, social skills, emotional intelligence, etc.
This organization has proven to our family time and time again that they don’t just work with the children, they also work with the parents on a professional and personal basis. The CDC is truly a testament to ‘Faith, Hope and Love.’”

Grandma’s House Childcare And Early Development Center
Very individualized education plans for each child. Attention to detail and a caring atmosphere has made it a joy to send my son there. He’s been there for about 2 years, and were not planning on changing anytime soon. The caregivers are wonderful and really show that they care about each and everychild at the home….

Laugh And Learn Childcare
Laugh & Learn is an amazing childcare facility that is a hybrid between in-home and facility. The daycare space is the lower unit of a duplex that is exclusively used for the kids’ care and thoughtfully oriented to teaching kids of different ages. Amber, the owner, is a college-educated andhardworking woman who is devoted to teaching and caring for children. The modest premises is easy to look past when you see the thoughtful layout and thorough lesson plans she employs daily as well as her exceedingly reasonable rates. The back yard features a garden with various plants and activities for kids who are outside almost every day (inclement weather excepted). In addition, Amber takes the kids on field trips to museums, the zoo, the domes and other points of interest regularly. She is fully licensed by the state. I recommend this facility wholeheartedly and have seen my kids blossom while in her care….

Description:
I am a licensed, First Aid, CPR certified, mother of two now adult children and three grandchildren with many hours of professional childcare development training. My smoke and pet free in home daycareprovides the individual attention your child needs and deserves. I provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment for children during the most important time, their early developmental years. Your child will have fun with arts and craft activities, while playing, learning and socializing with new friends. I offer circle time, where I read to the children daily. Children will learn the seasons, months, days of the week, numbers, letters, shapes and so much more.
My yard is fenced in for your child’s safety and hours of outside enjoyment (weather permitting). My in-home daycare is located near Dineen Park. So, in addition to the outside play we can take daily walks to the park to increase the development of their large motor skills. Parents are provided with daily updates via an app.
I look forward to you becoming part of the Tonya’s Tiny Tots Early Education Center family, while becoming part of your extended family!
Additionally, the state of Wisconsin performs an annual background check on all childcare providers….

As today is my daughter’s last day in Tonya’s Tiny Tot’s due to age, I felt compelled to write this review in hopes that it would help potential parents decide on their child’s future care provider. For thelast three years, my daughter has attended this daycare because of the love, care, and patience of Tonya. In the time spent at this daycare, my daughter has learned her full name, date of birth, counting, spelling, and many other things. As a father, I believe that my child is the smartest kid ever to walk the earth, but unfortunately, that is not true. Tonya has helped my daughter live up to this unreal expectation that I unknowingly placed on her, and I am forever grateful to her for that.
Tonya’s creativity, selflessness, and understanding has helped me to build a strong foundation for my daughter’s learning. If my daughter could attend Tiny Tots until it was time to go to college, I would gladly do so!
Lastly, I want to thank you, Tonya, for being understanding and having patience with me as well. At times, I didn’t understand simple things such as how to work the Brightwell app, which I now enjoy so much as it keeps me updated; you set time aside to get me up to speed and helped me maintain it. Thank you for keeping my daughter safe, entertained, and pushing the limits of what she thought she knew to what she now knows.

Hi, my name is JoAnn and I am a licensed family childcare provider.
I am a strong supporter of In-Home Family Childcare as a way to care for infants to preschoolers outside of their own homes. It’s awonderful setting for children in their first 3 years of life. I know that there are great group centers out there for children, but while they are still so little and young, a home environment is best.
My daycare is a safe environment that offers them a variety of choices and presents them with appropriate challenges. Since play is the vehicle through which children learn, I do everything I can to promote it and make it fun for them. I offer a variety of materials and activities and allow the children the time and freedom to make choices, become involved, experiment and practice skills to be creative and interact with each other.
I provide age appropriate activities in a safe and nurturing environment with lots of love and one on one attention. I provide the learning and experiences you would get in a group center blended with comforts of home. My daycare is a place where we laugh, learn, make friends and explore.
It is my mission to provide outstanding care for your child.
I want you to have peace of mind while your children are at my home.
I have several openings and would love for your little one to join us.
Accepting Ages 6 weeks to age 5.
Hours: Mon thru Fri 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Dinosaurs on Baikal – E.N. Kuzevanova
The territory on the site of Lake Baikal 250 – 70 million years ago was a land elevated above sea level with a warm and humid climate. All natural conditions – subtropical vegetation, high air humidity and the presence of small and warm lakes – were favorable for the habitat of a wide variety of animals, including dinosaurs.
But scientists did not find traces of these animals in sedimentary rocks on the shores of Lake Baikal.
The remains of dinosaur skeletons were found only on the border of the Baikal rift zone – in Buryatia, in sedimentary rocks near Lake Gusinoe. These were parts of the skeleton of a predatory dinosaur – an allosaurus.
The length of the Allosaurus averaged 8.5 m. It moved on large and powerful hind legs, while its forelimbs were relatively small, with three large, curved claws. The massive upper body was balanced by a long, heavy tail. The remains of the skeleton of the same dinosaur were found elsewhere in Buryatia – in the deposits of the Tarbagatai coal deposit.
The southern part of the Baikal rift zone ends in Mongolia with the Khubsugul depression, where Lake Khubsugul is located.
And to the south-west of Khubsugul, in the Gobi desert, at some distance from the rift zone, burials of a huge number of dinosaurs were found.
Skeletons of such dinosaurs as Protoceratops, Velociraptor, Oviraptor, Tarbosaurus, Saurolophus were found there.
Skeletons of ancient crocodiles, shells of aquatic turtles were found. One of the first flying dinosaurs in Asia, the pterodactyl, was also discovered in Mongolia.
Dinosaur skeletons from the Gobi desert are in the National Museum of Natural History in Ulaanbaatar and in museums around the world. They are carefully collected and installed in expositions. Each find is given a description.
Tarbosaurus belongs to the group of tyrannosaurs – the largest carnivorous dinosaurs in the history of the Earth. Tarbosaurus means “terrible dinosaur” in translation. Indeed, it was a very large predator, a real terminator lizard!
The length of his body from the tip of the muzzle to the tip of the tail was about ten meters, and the size of his head was more than a meter in length, with a huge mouth studded with huge dagger-sharp teeth.
Powerful teeth allowed Tarbosaurus to cope even with such a dinosaur as protoceratops , whose head was covered with a powerful bone shell.
Pterodactyl was small compared to other dinosaurs. Its wingspan was only about one and a half meters, it ate fish, or even large insects.
Dinosaurs up to two meters long, with elongated jaws and sharp teeth – velociraptors – were good runners. They actively hunted small moving animals.
Mongolian Saurolophus was one of the largest herbivorous dinosaurs. Its height was 10-12 meters. The structure of the limbs and muzzle indicate that this animal fed on aquatic plants.
Another Mongolian dinosaur – oviraptor , with powerful legs and small forelimbs, with a large crest on the head and beak, in many ways resembled an ostrich. The dimensions of the oviraptor, compared with the tarbosaurus, were small – the body length reached only two meters.
Scientists have found a fossilized skeleton of this dinosaur on a clutch of eggs. At first, they thought that this dinosaur died trying to destroy the nest with the eggs of other dinosaurs. Therefore, the dinosaur was given the name Oviraptor, which means “the thief of eggs. ”
However, later, with the help of modern technology, it was possible to examine the embryos inside these fossilized eggs, and it turned out that these were the embryos of the oviraptor itself.
Therefore, he did not destroy the eggs, but hatched his offspring, as a hen hatches chickens! It should be noted that almost all dinosaurs, including huge predators, laid eggs to breed.
Fossilized imprints of various plants, mollusks, fish, small lake dwellers were also found in Mongolia and Buryatia. Based on these remains, scientists have restored the natural and climatic conditions at the site of the Baikal rift zone 250-70 million years ago.
It was a lake district with a subtropical climate, diverse vegetation and full-flowing rivers. Shallow waters were covered with thickets of swamp cypresses. Horsetails, club mosses, and araucaria grew on the coasts. Groves of ginkgo trees grew green on the hills. The first flowering plants, magnolias, were quite widespread.
Thus, the probability that dinosaurs lived on the site of the Baikal Rift Zone hundreds of millions of years ago is very high. Dinosaur skeletons could not have been preserved, because sedimentary rocks were destroyed during the formation of mountains, numerous faults in the earth’s crust during the formation of the Baikal basin. And the valleys of Baikal’s tributaries, in which some traces of animals of that era could have been preserved, formed much later.
Science knows that about 65 million years ago, changes took place on Earth that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. Scientists have come to the conclusion that the cause of their extinction is a consequence of an asteroid falling to Earth in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tree-like plants that grew on the territory of present-day Baikal 70 million years ago
Quite possibly, finds of dinosaurs in the Baikal region are still waiting for future scientists who are now sitting at school desks. Such finds can be, for example, in the valley of the Angara River, where imprints of plants were found in sedimentary rocks, the age of which coincides with the age of the dinosaur era.

MUTANTS OF THE BAIKAL DEPTH
G OLOMYANKA
The first more or less reliable information about Baikal and its unprecedented fish kingdom, as is known, was received from the first explorers. They were struck by the depth of the Siberian Sea, its crystal-clear waters, abounding in large fat sturgeon, numerous omul, whitefish and grayling… The Golomyanka, a fish found nowhere else, was first described by Peter Pallas in 1771-1772 from several specimens thrown ashore. “Moreover, if there is something rare, and only found in Baikal, then a fish, which the Russians call a kolomenka; it appeared here not very long ago, although there is not the slightest doubt that it was there before, only they did not notice it. It is in itself as hard as a piece of bacon, and justly so fat that if you fry it, only the spinal vertebrae will remain, and everything else will blur. She never gets on the net, and she has never been seen alive. Here, not without probability, they conclude that it is kept in the deepest Baikal abysses only, which have been explored in the middle and on the northern stone side … Whatever the reasons were in the sea, which would drive this fish to the surface, no one can say. Usually it is thrown out by strong weather from the upland side, in the summer most to the Posolsky Monastery and to Ust-Selenga. It is not uncommon to see her after great storms, where she floats on the surface in great herds, and in some years she was thrown out so much that they lay on the shore in a shaft, then the coastal inhabitants had a fair amount of profit from them to melt fat and sell to the Chinese … ”
However, it was not this description that surprised the world. During one of the expeditions, Benedikt Dybowski discovered that golomyankas are viviparous. The discovery literally excited the scientific world. Many scientists reacted to the message of the embassy naturalist with distrust – after all, it was generally recognized that only fish in tropical waters “give birth”, in temperate latitudes and in the north, fish spawn. How did this strange fish get into the cold waters of Lake Baikal? Later, Baikal researchers found out that two species of golomyanka live in Baikal – the small golomyanka and the big golomyanka. Moreover, both of these species are of local (autochthonous) origin and formed in the Baikal waters about two million years ago. The big and small golomyankas have some differences. For example, an adult small golomyanka remains transparent – the spine and blood vessels are visible through the skin. The big one becomes whitish, opaque. Most likely, the matter is in different amounts of fat – the big golomyanka has seven times more fat, up to 44% of body weight. Limnologists have found that the golomyanka can make vertical movements during the day to maximum depths. These fish do not spend energy on chasing food, but easily “soar” in the water column. A quick reaction allows them to instantly grab close-swimming crustaceans or their own fry. Despite the fact that this fish leads a solitary life, not straying into schools, the golomyanka makes up a huge percentage of the biomass of all fish in Baikal (about 200 thousand tons!). Baikal is great and amazing – a unique ecological system, a small freshwater ocean, the depths of which, as can be seen from the wonderful golomyanka fish, live-bearing fish, are still full of mysteries and discoveries.
DID DINOSAURS LIFE ON BAIKAL?
In the area of Lake Gusinoye, in the Carboniferous deposits of the Mesozoic era, the remains of dinosaurs were found. But to say that dinosaurs lived on Baikal is not entirely correct – it would be more accurate to say that dinosaurs lived in the area of modern Baikal. The fact is that Baikal appeared much later after the dinosaurs everywhere disappeared from the face of the Earth. The end of the era of dinosaurs – the Mesozoic – 65 million years ago. The appearance of Baikal, according to various sources, from 20 to 30 million years ago. Dinosaurs have not been found in the immediate vicinity of Lake Baikal. The reason for this was the serious damage and change in the morphology of the Mesozoic sedimentary rocks during the powerful tectonic activity that led to the formation of Baikal. What dinosaurs lived in the Baikal region? First of all, these were sauropods – giant herbivorous dinosaurs, typical representatives of which are brontosaurus, diplodocus and brachiosaurus. It is to this detachment that the largest known dinosaurs belong – the seismosaurus and the supersaurus, reaching a length of 40 meters and weighing up to 50 tons. These were the largest land animals in the history of the Earth. There were also predators in these places, for example, rather large allosaurs and other theropods. Part of the deposits to the west of Baikal testifies to the existence there in the ancient pre-Baikal period of a huge warm salty sea with many ancient marine organisms.
BEASTS OF BAIKAL
The first evidence of the discovery of a huge inhabitant in the Mukhorsky Bay, the area of Olkhon Island and the Small Sea Strait, appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1905, the merchant of the first guild, Danila Uhvatov, was transporting cattle along the Mukhorsky Bay to the island of Olkhon. One of the horses, due to the strong pitching, fell overboard. They tried to pull the animal out of the water, but an unknown force pulled the horse to the bottom. A few minutes later, pieces of meat and a horse’s head floated to the surface of the water. The nearest cape of the island from this place has since been called Mare’s Head.
After the Second World War, Japanese prisoners of war who worked near the village of Chernorud began to notice the disappearance of people. The prisoners carried water to the mine, the bodies of some of them were found literally torn in half on the shore of the bay. Since the activities of these people had a special regime, these incidents remained a secret for a long time. An interesting fact is that the indigenous inhabitants of Baikal consider the Mukhorsky Bay sacred. And this is one of the ancient places of origin of Shamanism. You can’t mention this place in a conversation. You can not look in the direction of the bay during the day. Once a year, on the darkest and moonless night, the locals put their game, livestock meat and fish on rafts and floated the rafts across the bay. So they paid tribute to their deity. One has only to guess in what form this deity was dressed. For a long time, the shores of the bay remained deserted. This is the reason for the preservation of untouched, pristine nature. And today, the presence in the bay of a huge, similar to a log with cones, protrusions, creatures is confirmed. According to local residents, the monster appears on the surface of the water at night and makes characteristic hissing sounds that turn into gurgling. It is under these circumstances that the loss of livestock arriving at the watering place is noted.
Local fishermen say that since recently, people who go fishing have disappeared without a trace, and then their torn bodies have been found. This is understandable, because the creature (monster) has an unusually large size. This is confirmed by the captain of the fishing vessel Dmitry Vedernikov. When on one of the flights, the crew of the ship felt a strong rocking of the ship, with a characteristic hiss and gurgling from the water. At the same time, the sea was absolutely calm. It seemed that some huge animal was scratching its back on the keel of the ship. Is this a myth or reality? What type of living creatures does the Baikal inhabitant belong to? Or maybe it’s an alien creature? According to a well-known scientist, a leading specialist in the study of the Baikal fauna, Dr. Semenov A.A. :
“All these events may have a real basis. Most likely, the Mukhora monster belongs to a relic and as yet unexplored species of amphibious reptiles in appearance resembling a cross between a crocodile and an ancient ichthyosaur, oriented to eating flesh (predator).
