“I Spy” Bag

Six Sisters’ Stuff

Fill a sealed pouch with poly pellets and treasures, and see if your kid can “spy” them all through the window.

(You can also use a soda or water bottle and rice, which you can fill with larger toys.)

Mystery Box

The Best Ideas for Kids

Take an old tissue box, or an empty container of baby wipes, and place a variety of objects of different shapes and sizes inside: a Duplo piece, a toy car, a fuzzy scrap of felt, etc. Challenge your toddler to reach inside the monster’s mouth and find one of the mystery objects without looking — just by feel. When all of the objects have been found, you can “feed” the monster again!

32 Toddler Activities to Keep Them Busy at Home

Keeping a toddler occupied and happy day after day is no small feat! Children in this age group rarely stay engaged in one activity for long. But give them pots and pans to bang on, water to splash in, or music to dance to, and, as any parent of a 1 or 2 year old will tell you, toddlers are at their happiest.

So, we’ve put together a list of toddler activities that will encourage little ones to create, move, learn, and have fun.

For more ideas on how to help kids of all ages have fun playing indoors, check out our At-Home Activities Guide for Parents. Don’t be surprised if any of your toddler’s older siblings want to join in on the activities below. These ideas are fun for a range of age groups. For ideas to keep your baby occupied, read our 12 Easy DIY Sensory Activities for Babies.

Anytime Toddler Activities

1. Use an extra cardboard box to make a ramp. Send cars flying down and stage races.

2. Dump some plastic toys in a bin and let your little one paint them with washable paint.

3. Bake cookies together.

4. Pull out the play dough and encourage creative play. If you don’t have any play dough-specific tools or want to try something different, set out cookie cutters, spoons, measuring cups, and other kid-safe kitchen utensils for your child to use. Don’t have any play dough in the house? Making homemade play dough is super easy.

Toddlers delight in a simple picnic in your yard.

5. Head outside for a picnic breakfast, lunch, or dinner! The change of scenery makes the meal feel extra special. To lengthen the activity, pair the picnic with No. 18 on our list.

6. Flatten a cardboard box and draw a town with roads, buildings, a park, and a zoo…anything your little one likes! Then, add toy cars, animals, and people. Let your toddler get busy playing.

7. Build big with giant building “blocks” using toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, upside-down laundry baskets, plastic bowls…anything big that can be easily stacked. Little ones love knocking down their oversized creations, too.

8. Go fishing! Cut out simple fish shapes from cardstock or construction paper and attach a paper clip to each one. Grab a piece of yarn and tie one end to a stick and the other to a strong magnet (Magna-Tiles work great). Set the fish on the floor and let your child fish. Make it an extra challenge by having them fish only for red fish or green ones, etc. Optional: Use a laundry basket as a boat.

9. Stack cups…then knock them over. Repeat.

10. Head outside with sidewalk chalk on a beautiful day and decorate the driveway and sidewalks.

Have fun with a DIY board game older toddlers can help create and play.

11. Draw your own board game—and have your toddler help create it!—and use toys as the playing pieces.

12. Paint or draw a scene on a large piece of white paper—it could be outer space, under the sea, or anywhere in between. Then use toys or upcycle some cardboard rolls to fill in the scene you created.

13. Make music with pots, pans, bowls, and spoons. DIY some instruments by putting rice or corn in a jar or coins in a plastic water bottle (secure the cap with tape!) Don’t be surprised if No. 14 naturally ensues.

Things To Do With Toddlers to Burn Extra Energy

14. Put on some favorite tunes and have a dance party, and don’t just play kid music. Kids love to wiggle along with the beat of family-friendly rock music and traditional polka songs.

15. Draw shapes on sticky notes and hide them at toddler-height around the house. Then, hand your little one a flashlight and send them on a hunt for the hidden notes. Put on music or time them to get them running around even more.

16. Secure a long piece of bubble wrap on hardwood or tile flooring with painter’s tape and let your toddler race, jump, and stomp along.

17. Blow up balloons and play a match of impromptu balloon volleyball.

18. Go for a stroll—take your time, let your child stop and find a walking stick, inspect rocks, bugs, and flowers. Point out things you find interesting. Enjoy each other’s company.

Mucking around in mud is a kid-friendly favorite. Don’t forget your rain boots!

19. Pull-on rain boots and wade through puddles after it rains or when the snow melts and the ground thaws.

Simple Sensory Bin Ideas for Toddlers

20. Create color baskets by collecting child-safe items from around the house in one particular color, such as a green paintbrush, a green measuring cup, a green building block, etc., and encourage exploration and play.

21. Dump cotton balls into a bin or large bowl and add spoons and measuring cups, then let your child make “snowball soup. “

22. Head outside and make leaf soup with a large bucket or bowl of water, leaves, flowers, and grass clippings. Stir it up with a big stick.

23. Add uncooked rice, beans, pasta, leftover dry cereal, oats, etc. into a bin, add kitchen utensils, and let your little ones play. Place a sheet or towel underneath for easy cleanup and be sure to supervise.

Indoor and Outdoor Water Fun for Toddlers

24. Fill up the tub, plop your kiddo in, and dump in a bunch of Duplos or other large bricks to see what they build.

25. Set out a container of water and have your little ones wash some of their plastic toys. Use just dinosaurs, cars, or pets and play “dino wash,” “car wash,” or “pet groomer.” This is especially fun—and useful—if you already did No. 2 on our list!

26. Take a large paintbrush outside along with a bowl of water and wash walkways, garden gnomes, brick walls…this is a kid-favorite!

27. In a bowl, add ice cubes, water, and a spoon. Your toddler will enjoy making ice cube soup.

28. Tape pool noodles to an outside wall with buckets on the ground beneath the openings. Kids love pouring water down them and watching it come out the other end.

Indoor Activities With Toddlers to Encourage Creativity

Little ones love getting creative…and they usually engage in art activities for quite a while (score!)

29. Grab an old cardboard box or scrap wood that’s been sanded down and set out washable paints and paintbrushes. Decorate!

30. Give your little one a sheet of stickers and a piece of paper to decorate. Peeling off stickers is a great fine-motor activity, and what child doesn’t love stickers?

31. Set out buttons, pompoms, craft sticks, torn bits of paper. Hand over a sheet of paper and some glue and let your toddler’s inner artist shine.

32. Trace your child’s outline on a large roll of paper. Then let them decorate themselves.

Child care in san antonio tx: Childcare Assistance – City of San Antonio

The struggle for early child care is real

When Cara Sager and her husband Brian visited San Antonio in December 2021 ahead of a job-related move, she discovered the wait list for the local day care center she’d hoped to use was an untenable eight months.

This meant Sager, a 34-year-old physical therapist, wouldn’t have child care for her infant daughter when she was scheduled to start a new job here.

“I thought, ‘This is just insanity,’” she recalled. “What do you do?”

Abilene, where the couple had been living, suffered from the same paucity of quality child care spaces, she said.

Fortunately, their scheduled move was postponed for months, and her child was able to start at the Pineapple School — a Spanish immersion early learning center that Sager “loves” — when her job started last August.

The Pineapple School costs Sager $1,400 a month — not a huge burden, since her spouse is a surgeon and her own job pays well. But it’s a sum that would put such care beyond the financial reach of many families.

“For us, it wasn’t a question of not having the money to pay for child care, it was the question of, ‘Are there any openings?’” Sager said.

Her panic at the potential lack of appropriate child care is a fear shared by many parents in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. The nation’s early childhood care system was already limping along. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, cutting the legs out from under a fragile situation.

As the virus wreaked havoc, more than 111,000 employees left their jobs in child care — a whopping one-tenth of the workforce. The reverberations were felt in homes across the nation as some 6.5 million families were unable to obtain stable child care, according to census data from the spring of 2021.

Local child care centers that stayed open — in the beginning, serving only children of essential workers — saw operating costs rise and revenues sink, as many parents (read: women) kept their children home as they worked remotely or became unemployed.

Bexar County saw about 20 percent of its child care centers close due to pandemic stresses, and many that remain open are still struggling to recover.

Billions in federal funding poured in to mitigate the disaster, but child care experts say it wasn’t enough and didn’t address the long-term problems that continue to compromise the country’s early childhood care system.

It is our national shame. The U.S invests a pittance in its child care industry when compared to every other developed nation. And this from a country whose leaders are forever banging on about how children are our future.

Back in the 1970s, a bipartisan effort to create a universal child-care system was scuttled when President Richard Nixon vetoed it, claiming it would “weaken families.”

Since then, it’s been every man (or mother) for herself, a gantlet that entails negotiating a fragmented, crazy-quilt landscape of day care options that may or may not have an open spot, may or not be high quality and may come with a price tag that eats up a huge share of household income.

If the prospect of parents struggling to find safe, quality care for their kids doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, perhaps the pocketbook aspect will move you: One estimate found that a lack of reliable child care costs Texas an estimated $9 billion a year in lost income and tax revenue.

The exorbitant cost of child care — on average more than $10,000 a year, nearly twice what experts consider affordable — is a burden for too many families. But child care center owners are in a bind: To be able to retain employees, they’d have to pay them more — and raise prices for parents who are already tapped out.

Child care workers (most of whom are women, often women of color) are low-paid, an average of some $27,000 a year – worse pay than many jobs found in retail, fast-food and other low-wage industries. Paltry wages and high turnover bedevil the industry.

Aside from large, for-profit chains, community-based child care centers often run on razor-thin profit margins, giving many owners no financial wiggle room.

Some nonprofits and charities in San Antonio offer assistance in various forms to low-income parents, for whom the search for quality and affordable child care can be especially arduous. But it’s not enough to address the enormity of the problem.

In Texas, federal subsidies offer inadequate help to low-income parents when it comes to child care.

In worst case scenarios, a desperate working mom may leave her kids in unsafe situations, such as with an elderly or frail relative or with an unemployed boyfriend — the latter arrangement posing a possible “lethal recipe,” as one former Bexar County criminal prosecutor put it.

The huge social policy bill pushed last year by President Joe Biden included major reforms to the nation’s child care industry. They would have capped expenses for parents, provided large subsidies to centers to help them raise wages and retain workers, and added money for universal prekindergarten. But those reforms were stripped from the final package due to opposition by Republicans and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

The argument again was that such help would meddle in family affairs — proving that Richard Nixon is still very much alive and with us.

As the new year starts, Texas is blessed with a $33 billion budget surplus, and you’d think that at least some of the largesse could go toward improving the state’s abysmal early childhood care situation.

But in his inauguration speech, Gov. Greg Abbot enumerated his plans for the windfall — cutting property taxes, more work on the power grid and other infrastructure issues, help for businesses and of course more money to enforce the border.

As far as the fate of the state’s children go (aside from making schools safer, which doesn’t address reducing the flow of guns), Abbott remains obsessed with two issues: allowing the use of vouchers for private schools and a parental bill of rights, which is really more a stealth move against transgender kids’ rights and other so-called “woke” agendas.

The governor is always crowing about how Texas is such a great state for business. But when it comes to how it fares as a place to raise kids — especially when child care costs are factored in — Texas doesn’t even break into the top 10.

For Sager, who is originally from California, the issue is not just a lack of quality child care. It’s the fact that her adopted home state makes mothers (and fathers) return to work too soon after having a child, robbing them of early bonding time.

In California, parents are able to take eight weeks of paid maternity or family leave — it’s one of only 13 states to offer it. Texas offers no paid maternity leave, although eligible employees taking such leave will see their jobs protected for 12 weeks under nationwide federal family leave rules (for employers with more than 50 workers, that is.)

But how many households can go three months without a paycheck?

Again, it’s our shame: The U. S. is the only industrialized country in the world to not offer paid leave for new mothers.

Employees in Texas seeking paid time off after a baby are at the mercy of their employers, who may — or may not — offer such a perk. Some may be able to cobble together paid time off for vacation or sick pay, perhaps short-term disability. But the vast majority of working people in the nation lack paid family leave through their jobs, which equates to about 9,709,000 workers in Texas.

Some in Washington are taking note: Today, a bipartisan group in Congress meets for the first time to try and hash out a national paid family leave policy.

In Abilene, Sager requested and received five months of unpaid leave for her baby, and was able to receive six weeks of short-term disability pay. Pregnant again, she plans to ask off for the same arrangement for her second child at her present job.

“I’m not asking to be paid for five months, I’m asking for job protection,” she said. “Why should a woman be punished for having children and wanting to spend longer than six to 12 weeks at home?”

Again, it’s not just a heartstrings issue: If women in Texas participated in the labor force at the same rate as women in countries with paid leave, there would be more than 592,000 additional workers in the state and $23. 8 billion more in wages earned statewide, studies show.

“It’s such a different world from here,” Sager said. “It feels like Texas doesn’t really care. There’s just no support in Texas for a new mother.”

Here’s the deal.

Your children are my children. And my children are your children. We are not islands, but are instead all bound up together, interconnected at the roots. Research has repeatedly shown how crucial those first few years in a child’s life are — a time when young brains rapidly develop, personalities take shape and loving attachments (or the lack thereof) are forged.

How well our children fare as adults — as the future workers of America, if you will — is a process that begins in the crib, on the story-time carpet, on the day care center playground.

You may argue we shouldn’t spend taxpayer money on higher paychecks for day care workers, or for more high-quality child care centers, or for time for mothers and babies to bond. It’s not your concern, you may say.

But here’s the reality: It is.

KRISTYE PEREZ

The staff is always so friendly – they genuinely love what they do, and it shows. It is so refreshing to finally experience an atmosphere where all children are celebrated equally and especially for a parent of a special needs child, that in itself, means the world.

Brian Biggs, Former Board Member

Seeing the faces of the kids, seeing them on the playground, hearing the sounds of joy and laughter, and knowing what they’ve been through…that makes it special. The chance to not only help those in need, but to see lives changed. The love, healing and growth that happens at Respite Care is something to behold.

Crystal

It’s amazing. They’ve given me that sense of comfort. A sense to know that it takes a village and … I’ve finally found my village

ELYSSA VOGT

What I love about Respite is they put all the kids needs above their own. They focus on helping not just the children but the families as well. I didn’t think I could love a daycare as much as I do this place. We absolutely love it there!

KRIZIA

When I come to Respite Care I know that when I leave my children there that they are in great hands. I know that they’re going to get the same love and attention that I would give them if I was at home with them.

Sandra, RCSA Staff

What I love about RCSA is greeting the parents and listening to them talk about how their child is grown and learning. How staff is loving and understanding with their child.

Dana Terracina, Former Board Member

Respite Care was so important to me because … I was the one who was blessed by being a part of such a compassionate mission … My memories of Respite remind me always of the fragility of life but also of the courage and strength of the angels put in the care of the amazing Respite team. May God continue to bless them all.

IN TEXAS – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

GOVERNOR ABBOTT SPEECHES TO THE STATE IN 2023

On February 16 in San Marcos, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott outlined his legislative priorities in a State Address.

Abbott highlighted seven urgent issues of interest to upcoming legislative sessions, including property tax exemptions, the removal of COVID-19 restrictions, and freedom of choice of schools, the state will reward community colleges that develop career development programs, in addition to In addition, he presented a $100 billion plan to improve the state’s infrastructure.

Among the major issues or initiatives that the Governor outlined for the upcoming session were:

Property Tax Relief. With the state’s record high $33 billion surplus, Texas lawmakers will propose using $15 billion of the budget solely for property tax relief, Abbott said.

“Property taxes are choking Texans, we need to fix that in this session,” Abbott said. Hard-working Texans ran the biggest budget surplus in Texas history; that money belongs to you, the taxpayers. We need to get them back to you with the biggest real estate tax cut in Texas history.”

Electrical network improvements. Abbott said the state is also looking to improve Texas’ electricity grid. Since Winter Storm Uri left thousands of Texas without power for days two years ago, the power grid hasn’t failed.

“We need to build a grid strong enough to power Texas for the next century,” Abbott said. “In the last month alone, several projects have been announced that will add reliable power to our network.”

“Repeal COVID restrictions forever.” In an effort to defend freedom and waive federal instructions, Abbott echoed similar sentiments of other Republican governors known for their resistance to federal mandates.

“We must ban any government from imposing COVID mask mandates, COVID vaccine mandates, and closing any businesses or schools because of COVID,” Abbott said.

School choice and security. Another emergency item on Abbott’s list includes “freedom of choice of school” through the creation of “publicly funded educational accounts. ”

“To be perfectly clear, under this school choice program, all public schools will be fully funded on a per-student basis,” Abbott said.

“We have provided more funds for public education and teacher pay increases than ever before in the history of the state of Texas, and we will be adding more this session,” he said. In addition to pledging to fund public schools, Abbott also said he was making school safety an emergency, in particular by adding mental health professionals in schools.

Weapons . Abbott said he wants to increase the sentence for people with previous convictions arrested for possession of weapons to a mandatory ten years in prison. Abbott did not mention gun reform measures or the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Some parents lobbied the governor to push through legislation raising the state legal age for buying an assault rifle to 21.

Revolving Door Bail Law . In his speech, Abbott specifically accused Harris County and Houston of the “revolving door bail practice” and noted that the bail law would be another emergency item on his list.

“In this session, we must lock this revolving door by passing laws that keep dangerous criminals behind bars and prosecute the judges who let them out,” Abbott said.

Border policy. The Governor also denounced the Biden administration for pursuing an “open borders policy” and said “the fight against fentanyl” is another emergency on his list.

Abbott also said government officials have offered to spend another $4.6 billion on the border and proposed a mandatory 10-year prison sentence for US citizens caught “smuggling illegal immigrants.”

“Texas is the only state in American history to build its own border wall,” he said.

TOP-PAID CEOS

As You Sow, a research and advocacy non-profit organization, released a study earlier this month that identified the top 100 highest-paid CEOs in the country.

CenterPoint Energy CEO David J. Lesar’s $37,809,810 last year made him the 12th highest-paid CEO in the US, according to As You Sow analysis.

Lesar’s salary is about 366 times the average CenterPoint employee’s salary. Lezar even managed to overtake the leaders of corporate giants such as The Coca-Cola Company, Nike, Walt Disney and Walmart in the list of the most overpaid CEOs.

CenterPoint Energy is one of the primary energy companies for customers throughout much of south and southeast Texas. The company generated about $6.1 billion in gross profit last fiscal year, up about 3.5% from a year earlier, according to financial analysis website Macrotrends.

DECLINE IN SCHOOLS NUMBER

After 20 years of growth, enrollment in Texas schools is expected to decline over the next decade, likely due to the declining birth rate in the state.

Over the last couple of decades, especially the last decade, growth has been driven by about 50-80 high-growth school districts along the I-35 corridor – most of them in the suburbs. But the decline across the board that we will see over the next decade will be driven by the decline in fertility that is already happening.

Texas school districts may feel the impact of fewer students by receiving less state education funds as the state legislature funds them based on average daily school attendance.

The phenomenon of declining fertility, leading to fewer children, is not unique to Texas, it is happening all over the country.

Demographers have divided the nation into four large baskets of racial ethnic groups, and white people tend to have lower birth rates. So the more diverse states were less affected by it just as quickly, but it became a more noticeable trend over time. So now it’s starting to catch up with Texas.

Some major school districts have already begun to reduce enrollment.

METEOR CRASHES IN SOUTH TEXAS

A nearly 1,000-pound, two-foot-wide meteor hit South Texas on Wednesday, February 15, according to reports.

NASA confirmed that the meteor broke apart as it passed through the atmosphere and landed at approximately 6 pm near McAllen, Texas.

“Although meteorites typically hit the Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, they slow down as they travel through the atmosphere, breaking into small fragments before falling to the ground. Meteorites cool rapidly and generally pose no danger to the public,” NASA said in a statement.

The space agency released a report of the incident, along with a map showing the area where parts of the meteorite likely fell.

According to the National Weather Service in Brownsville/Rio Grande Valley, several people have reported a possible meteor in the sky west of McAllen. The meteorological agency also said the meteor outbreak was recorded by the geostationary lightning cartographer just before 5:30 p.m.

TEXAS MEDICAID PREGNANCY ELIGIBILITY

As of November 2022, more than 468,000 pregnant women in Texas rely on Medicaid as of the latest available data. Medicaid accounts for about half of all births in the state.

More than 5.7 million people in Texas are covered by Medicaid overall, including care for the disabled, children’s Medicaid, cancer treatment, and care for the elderly. Nationally, this number exceeds 90 million.

According to Texas Health and Human Services, over 49% of Medicaid recipients in Texas are Hispanic, 15% of recipients are black, and about 17% are white. Pregnancy enrollment data is similar: 53% of Hispanics, 19% black and 23% white.

To be eligible for Medicaid maternity coverage in Texas, people must earn approximately 200% below the federal poverty line. For a family of three, this means that their income cannot exceed $3,800 a month, or about $45,600 a year. The MIT Dallas County Living Wage Calculator estimates that a family of three would need more than $67,000 in annual income to pay for food, child care, medical expenses, and housing.

Medicaid in Texas offers health coverage during pregnancy and two months postpartum, from antenatal visits to postnatal checkups (private insurance typically covers 12 months and enrollment often renews automatically).

In the 2021 legislative session, Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill extending Medicaid for pregnant women from two months to six months after delivery. This extension was rejected by the federal government in the fall of 2022.

HELP MIGRATING BIRDS

Since the first of this month, a male bluebird has been attacking his image in the large window pane of the living room overlooking the backyard.

In the meantime, he plucks out the planted mealworms and takes them to the female in the nest. This is mating time, which in our bluebirds starts early.

The male will fiercely defend his breeding territory from an invading male, whom he sees as a mirror image of himself in the window.

The bird is not stupid and not devoid of sharp eyesight. The brain of a songbird is comparable in its intellectual capabilities to the brain of a chimpanzee.

Songbirds also have excellent eyesight, which allows them to see the ultraviolet spectrum invisible to our eyes. Birds also perceive shades of the same color with sharper contrast than we can see.

But despite a fairly large brain and excellent eyesight, the male bluebird cannot tell the difference between his own reflection and a real bird. Chimpanzees in a zoo will first see their mirror image as another chimpanzee, but after playing with the mirror for a few days, they will recognize their own reflection.

By comparison, it takes about 18 months after birth for people to recognize their face in a mirror. Magpies are the only birds known to us that recognize themselves in a mirror. But their brains are larger and more developed than those of songbirds.

Songbirds cannot distinguish their mirror image from another bird. They also cannot see the reflections of the trees and the sky in the glass as anything other than a natural environment. They will crash into windows thinking they are flying towards trees or into the air.

Millions of spring migratory songbirds crash to their deaths on tall buildings with large luminous glass panels reflecting their clear flight path in the sky. The Houston Audubon Society advocates for “lights out” in buildings during migration.

In the meantime, what to do with a male blue bird attacking his image in the window? The silhouettes of hawks and falcons pasted on the windows will not work, because the forms do not deceive the birds.

ABOUT THE GALILEO INNOVATION APPROACH (GIA)

Our research-based curriculum fuses STEAM learning with the Galileo Innovation Approach (GIA), our pedagogical framework inspired by:

The design thinking methodology developed at the Stanford d.school

Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking work on the elements of a growth mindset

Every project and activity sets children up to do three things:

Build their innovator’s mindset —practicing things like being visionary, collaborative and determined

Work through an iterative design process that includes creating, testing, failing and redesigning, until the goal is achieved

Learn something new

The Result
Students come home with more than just cool projects—they take with them the critical thinking, collaboration and creativity skills that they need for success in school and that are increasingly required in the job market.

Amazing camp! Full delight! 🙂 My daughter called us every evening, happy, joyful, enthusiastically telling us how her day went. She liked EVERYTHING! Despite the fact that the daughter is not a particularly “camp” child, there is a sad experience when, while in another camp, on the second day she called me with the words “take me home, I’m bored here !!!” In addition, she is quite shy, does not like performing on stage, and avoids increased attention to herself. Therefore, we had reason to doubt the decision to send it to you. But what a great turn out! As far as I know, every day there were new events in the camp, including skits, and my daughter participated in everything with pleasure! You are great fellows!! You can find an approach to any child, thank you very much for that! During the whole shift, I heard only two complaints from her: that she does not have time to read a book and that she is forced to wear a scarf while walking))) Needless to say, even these small complaints are in your favor, even they talk about how awesome you are! :))) See you in a year! – there is no doubt that we will come to you again! . .

The child arrived delighted. I enjoyed working with teachers. Language learning is presented in a playful way, which does not allow children to feel like they are in boring lessons at school. Thanks to the English language program, my child was able to improve his English to a decent level for her age. At the end of the shift, a certificate is issued, which is also a definite plus. From the first days of your stay in the camp, the camp leaders and staff did everything to make the atmosphere in the camp friendly and relaxed. The children were constantly engaged, various master classes were held, every day there was a pool. It is also worth noting the excellent food in the camp, the child is very happy, everything was very tasty and varied, a large selection of dishes was provided. Throughout the shift, photographs and small videos were published in groups, there was constant information support, thanks to which the presence of parents in the camp life of children was felt.

Coordinators provide interesting and useful leisure time outside of classes, help solve all organizational issues and make sure that each student feels as comfortable as possible in the camp.

Child care in san antonio tx: Childcare Assistance – City of San Antonio

Опубликовано: August 2, 2023 в 3:11 pm

Автор: alexxlab

Категории: Child

The struggle for early child care is real

When Cara Sager and her husband Brian visited San Antonio in December 2021 ahead of a job-related move, she discovered the wait list for the local day care center she’d hoped to use was an untenable eight months.

This meant Sager, a 34-year-old physical therapist, wouldn’t have child care for her infant daughter when she was scheduled to start a new job here.

“I thought, ‘This is just insanity,’” she recalled. “What do you do?”

Abilene, where the couple had been living, suffered from the same paucity of quality child care spaces, she said.

Fortunately, their scheduled move was postponed for months, and her child was able to start at the Pineapple School — a Spanish immersion early learning center that Sager “loves” — when her job started last August.

The Pineapple School costs Sager $1,400 a month — not a huge burden, since her spouse is a surgeon and her own job pays well. But it’s a sum that would put such care beyond the financial reach of many families.

“For us, it wasn’t a question of not having the money to pay for child care, it was the question of, ‘Are there any openings?’” Sager said.

Her panic at the potential lack of appropriate child care is a fear shared by many parents in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. The nation’s early childhood care system was already limping along. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, cutting the legs out from under a fragile situation.

As the virus wreaked havoc, more than 111,000 employees left their jobs in child care — a whopping one-tenth of the workforce. The reverberations were felt in homes across the nation as some 6.5 million families were unable to obtain stable child care, according to census data from the spring of 2021.

Local child care centers that stayed open — in the beginning, serving only children of essential workers — saw operating costs rise and revenues sink, as many parents (read: women) kept their children home as they worked remotely or became unemployed.

Bexar County saw about 20 percent of its child care centers close due to pandemic stresses, and many that remain open are still struggling to recover.

Billions in federal funding poured in to mitigate the disaster, but child care experts say it wasn’t enough and didn’t address the long-term problems that continue to compromise the country’s early childhood care system.

It is our national shame. The U.S invests a pittance in its child care industry when compared to every other developed nation. And this from a country whose leaders are forever banging on about how children are our future.

Back in the 1970s, a bipartisan effort to create a universal child-care system was scuttled when President Richard Nixon vetoed it, claiming it would “weaken families.”

Since then, it’s been every man (or mother) for herself, a gantlet that entails negotiating a fragmented, crazy-quilt landscape of day care options that may or may not have an open spot, may or not be high quality and may come with a price tag that eats up a huge share of household income.

If the prospect of parents struggling to find safe, quality care for their kids doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, perhaps the pocketbook aspect will move you: One estimate found that a lack of reliable child care costs Texas an estimated $9 billion a year in lost income and tax revenue.

The exorbitant cost of child care — on average more than $10,000 a year, nearly twice what experts consider affordable — is a burden for too many families. But child care center owners are in a bind: To be able to retain employees, they’d have to pay them more — and raise prices for parents who are already tapped out.

Child care workers (most of whom are women, often women of color) are low-paid, an average of some $27,000 a year – worse pay than many jobs found in retail, fast-food and other low-wage industries. Paltry wages and high turnover bedevil the industry.

Aside from large, for-profit chains, community-based child care centers often run on razor-thin profit margins, giving many owners no financial wiggle room.

Some nonprofits and charities in San Antonio offer assistance in various forms to low-income parents, for whom the search for quality and affordable child care can be especially arduous. But it’s not enough to address the enormity of the problem.

In Texas, federal subsidies offer inadequate help to low-income parents when it comes to child care.

In worst case scenarios, a desperate working mom may leave her kids in unsafe situations, such as with an elderly or frail relative or with an unemployed boyfriend — the latter arrangement posing a possible “lethal recipe,” as one former Bexar County criminal prosecutor put it.

The huge social policy bill pushed last year by President Joe Biden included major reforms to the nation’s child care industry. They would have capped expenses for parents, provided large subsidies to centers to help them raise wages and retain workers, and added money for universal prekindergarten. But those reforms were stripped from the final package due to opposition by Republicans and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

The argument again was that such help would meddle in family affairs — proving that Richard Nixon is still very much alive and with us.

As the new year starts, Texas is blessed with a $33 billion budget surplus, and you’d think that at least some of the largesse could go toward improving the state’s abysmal early childhood care situation.

But in his inauguration speech, Gov. Greg Abbot enumerated his plans for the windfall — cutting property taxes, more work on the power grid and other infrastructure issues, help for businesses and of course more money to enforce the border.

As far as the fate of the state’s children go (aside from making schools safer, which doesn’t address reducing the flow of guns), Abbott remains obsessed with two issues: allowing the use of vouchers for private schools and a parental bill of rights, which is really more a stealth move against transgender kids’ rights and other so-called “woke” agendas.

The governor is always crowing about how Texas is such a great state for business. But when it comes to how it fares as a place to raise kids — especially when child care costs are factored in — Texas doesn’t even break into the top 10.

For Sager, who is originally from California, the issue is not just a lack of quality child care. It’s the fact that her adopted home state makes mothers (and fathers) return to work too soon after having a child, robbing them of early bonding time.

In California, parents are able to take eight weeks of paid maternity or family leave — it’s one of only 13 states to offer it. Texas offers no paid maternity leave, although eligible employees taking such leave will see their jobs protected for 12 weeks under nationwide federal family leave rules (for employers with more than 50 workers, that is.)

But how many households can go three months without a paycheck?

Again, it’s our shame: The U. S. is the only industrialized country in the world to not offer paid leave for new mothers.

Employees in Texas seeking paid time off after a baby are at the mercy of their employers, who may — or may not — offer such a perk. Some may be able to cobble together paid time off for vacation or sick pay, perhaps short-term disability. But the vast majority of working people in the nation lack paid family leave through their jobs, which equates to about 9,709,000 workers in Texas.

Some in Washington are taking note: Today, a bipartisan group in Congress meets for the first time to try and hash out a national paid family leave policy.

In Abilene, Sager requested and received five months of unpaid leave for her baby, and was able to receive six weeks of short-term disability pay. Pregnant again, she plans to ask off for the same arrangement for her second child at her present job.

“I’m not asking to be paid for five months, I’m asking for job protection,” she said. “Why should a woman be punished for having children and wanting to spend longer than six to 12 weeks at home?”

Again, it’s not just a heartstrings issue: If women in Texas participated in the labor force at the same rate as women in countries with paid leave, there would be more than 592,000 additional workers in the state and $23. 8 billion more in wages earned statewide, studies show.

“It’s such a different world from here,” Sager said. “It feels like Texas doesn’t really care. There’s just no support in Texas for a new mother.”

Here’s the deal.

Your children are my children. And my children are your children. We are not islands, but are instead all bound up together, interconnected at the roots. Research has repeatedly shown how crucial those first few years in a child’s life are — a time when young brains rapidly develop, personalities take shape and loving attachments (or the lack thereof) are forged.

How well our children fare as adults — as the future workers of America, if you will — is a process that begins in the crib, on the story-time carpet, on the day care center playground.

You may argue we shouldn’t spend taxpayer money on higher paychecks for day care workers, or for more high-quality child care centers, or for time for mothers and babies to bond. It’s not your concern, you may say.

But here’s the reality: It is.

The staff is always so friendly – they genuinely love what they do, and it shows. It is so refreshing to finally experience an atmosphere where all children are celebrated equally and especially for a parent of a special needs child, that in itself, means the world.

Brian Biggs, Former Board Member

Seeing the faces of the kids, seeing them on the playground, hearing the sounds of joy and laughter, and knowing what they’ve been through…that makes it special. The chance to not only help those in need, but to see lives changed. The love, healing and growth that happens at Respite Care is something to behold.

What I love about Respite is they put all the kids needs above their own. They focus on helping not just the children but the families as well. I didn’t think I could love a daycare as much as I do this place. We absolutely love it there!

KRIZIA

When I come to Respite Care I know that when I leave my children there that they are in great hands. I know that they’re going to get the same love and attention that I would give them if I was at home with them.

Sandra, RCSA Staff

What I love about RCSA is greeting the parents and listening to them talk about how their child is grown and learning. How staff is loving and understanding with their child.

Dana Terracina, Former Board Member

Respite Care was so important to me because … I was the one who was blessed by being a part of such a compassionate mission … My memories of Respite remind me always of the fragility of life but also of the courage and strength of the angels put in the care of the amazing Respite team. May God continue to bless them all.

IN TEXAS – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

GOVERNOR ABBOTT SPEECHES TO THE STATE IN 2023

On February 16 in San Marcos, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott outlined his legislative priorities in a State Address.

Abbott highlighted seven urgent issues of interest to upcoming legislative sessions, including property tax exemptions, the removal of COVID-19 restrictions, and freedom of choice of schools, the state will reward community colleges that develop career development programs, in addition to In addition, he presented a $100 billion plan to improve the state’s infrastructure.

Among the major issues or initiatives that the Governor outlined for the upcoming session were:

Property tax relief. With the state’s record high $33 billion surplus, Texas lawmakers will propose using $15 billion of the budget solely for property tax relief, Abbott said.

“Property taxes are choking Texans, we need to fix that in this session,” Abbott said. Hard-working Texans ran the biggest budget surplus in Texas history; that money belongs to you, the taxpayers. We need to get them back to you with the biggest real estate tax cut in Texas history.”

Electrical network improvements. Abbott said the state is also looking to improve Texas’ electricity grid. Since Winter Storm Uri left thousands of Texas without power for days two years ago, the power grid hasn’t failed.

“We need to build a grid strong enough to power Texas for the next century,” Abbott said. “In the last month alone, several projects have been announced that will add reliable power to our network.”

“Repeal COVID restrictions forever.” In an effort to defend liberty and waive federal instructions, Abbott echoed similar sentiments from other Republican governors known for their opposition to federal mandates.

“We must ban any government from imposing COVID mask mandates, COVID vaccine mandates, and closing any businesses or schools because of COVID,” Abbott said.

School choice and security. Another emergency item on Abbott’s list includes “freedom of choice of school” through the creation of “publicly funded educational accounts. ”

“To be perfectly clear, under this school choice program, all public schools will be fully funded on a per-student basis,” Abbott said.

“We have provided more funds for public education and teacher pay increases than ever before in the history of the state of Texas, and we will be adding more this session,” he said. In addition to pledging to fund public schools, Abbott also said he was making school safety an emergency, in particular by adding mental health professionals in schools.

Weapons . Abbott said he wants to increase the sentence for people with previous convictions arrested for possession of weapons to a mandatory ten years in prison. Abbott did not mention gun reform measures or the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Some parents lobbied the governor to push through legislation raising the state legal age for buying an assault rifle to 21.

Bail Revolving Door Act . In his speech, Abbott specifically accused Harris County and Houston of the “revolving door bail practice” and noted that the bail law would be another emergency item on his list.

“In this session, we must lock this revolving door by passing laws that keep dangerous criminals behind bars and prosecute the judges who let them out,” Abbott said.

Border policy. The Governor also denounced the Biden administration for pursuing an “open borders policy” and said “the fight against fentanyl” is another emergency item on his list.

Abbott also said government officials have offered to spend another $4.6 billion on the border and proposed a mandatory 10-year prison sentence for US citizens caught “smuggling illegal immigrants.”

“Texas is the only state in American history to build its own border wall,” he said.

TOP-PAID EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

As You Sow, a research and advocacy non-profit organization, released a study earlier this month that identified the top 100 highest-paid CEOs in the country.

CenterPoint Energy CEO David J. Lesar’s $37,809,810 last year made him the 12th highest-paid CEO in the US, according to As You Sow analysis.

Lesar’s salary is about 366 times the average CenterPoint employee’s salary. Lezar even managed to overtake the leaders of corporate giants such as The Coca-Cola Company, Nike, Walt Disney and Walmart in the list of the most overpaid CEOs.

CenterPoint Energy is one of the primary energy companies for customers throughout much of south and southeast Texas. The company generated about $6.1 billion in gross profit last fiscal year, up about 3.5% from a year earlier, according to financial analysis website Macrotrends.

DECLINE IN SCHOOLS NUMBER

After 20 years of growth, enrollment in Texas schools is expected to decline over the next decade, likely due to the declining birth rate in the state.

Over the last couple of decades, especially the last decade, growth has been driven by about 50-80 high-growth school districts along the I-35 corridor – most of them in the suburbs. But the decline across the board that we will see over the next decade will be driven by the decline in fertility that is already happening.

Texas school districts may feel the impact of fewer students by receiving less state education funds as the state legislature funds them based on average daily school attendance.

The phenomenon of declining fertility, leading to fewer children, is not unique to Texas, it is happening all over the country.

Demographers have divided the nation into four large baskets of racial ethnic groups, and white people tend to have lower birth rates. So the more diverse states were less affected by it just as quickly, but it became a more noticeable trend over time. So now it’s starting to catch up with Texas.

Some major school districts have already begun to reduce enrollment.

METEOR CRASHES IN SOUTH TEXAS

A nearly 1,000-pound, two-foot-wide meteor hit South Texas on Wednesday, February 15, according to reports.

NASA confirmed that the meteor broke apart as it passed through the atmosphere and landed at approximately 6 pm near McAllen, Texas.

“Although meteorites typically hit the Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, they slow down as they travel through the atmosphere, breaking into small fragments before falling to the ground. Meteorites cool rapidly and generally pose no danger to the public,” NASA said in a statement.

The space agency released a report of the incident, along with a map showing the area where parts of the meteorite likely fell.

According to the National Weather Service in Brownsville/Rio Grande Valley, several people have reported a possible meteor in the sky west of McAllen. The meteorological agency also said the meteor outbreak was recorded by the geostationary lightning cartographer just before 5:30 p.m.

TEXAS MEDICAID Eligibility for Pregnant Women

As of November 2022, more than 468,000 pregnant women in Texas rely on Medicaid as of the latest available data. Medicaid accounts for about half of all births in the state.

More than 5. 7 million people in Texas are covered by Medicaid overall, including care for the disabled, children’s Medicaid, cancer treatment, and care for the elderly. Nationally, this number exceeds 90 million.

According to Texas Health and Human Services, over 49% of Medicaid recipients in Texas are Hispanic, 15% of recipients are black, and about 17% are white. Pregnancy enrollment data is similar: 53% of Hispanics, 19% black and 23% white.

To be eligible for Medicaid maternity coverage in Texas, people must earn approximately 200% below the federal poverty line. For a family of three, this means that their income cannot exceed $3,800 a month, or about $45,600 a year. The MIT Dallas County Living Wage Calculator estimates that a family of three would need more than $67,000 in annual income to pay for food, child care, medical expenses, and housing.

Medicaid in Texas offers health coverage during pregnancy and two months postpartum, from antenatal visits to postnatal checkups (private insurance typically covers 12 months and enrollment often renews automatically).

In the 2021 legislative session, Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill extending Medicaid for pregnant women from two months to six months after delivery. This extension was rejected by the federal government in the fall of 2022.

HELP MIGRATING BIRDS

From the first of this month, a male bluebird has been attacking his image in the large window pane of the living room overlooking the backyard.

In the meantime, he plucks out the planted mealworms and takes them to the female in the nest. This is mating time, which in our bluebirds starts early.

The male will fiercely defend his breeding territory from an invading male, whom he sees as a mirror image of himself in the window.

The bird is not stupid and not devoid of sharp eyesight. The brain of a songbird is comparable in its intellectual capabilities to the brain of a chimpanzee.

Songbirds also have excellent eyesight, which allows them to see the ultraviolet spectrum invisible to our eyes. Birds also perceive shades of the same color with sharper contrast than we can see.

But despite a fairly large brain and excellent eyesight, the male bluebird cannot tell the difference between his own reflection and a real bird. Chimpanzees in a zoo will first see their mirror image as another chimpanzee, but after playing with the mirror for a few days, they will recognize their own reflection.

By comparison, it takes about 18 months after birth for people to recognize their face in a mirror. Magpies are the only birds known to us that recognize themselves in a mirror. But their brains are larger and more developed than those of songbirds.

Songbirds cannot distinguish their mirror image from another bird. They also cannot see the reflections of the trees and the sky in the glass as anything other than a natural environment. They will crash into windows thinking they are flying towards trees or into the air.

Millions of spring migratory songbirds crash to their deaths on tall buildings with large luminous glass panels reflecting their clear flight path in the sky.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) offers highly competitive salaries designed to reward education, experience and excellent performance. The OCC salary structure
provides pay ranges for jobs with comparable responsibilities.

Unlike most civilian federal agencies, the OCC does not follow the General Schedule (GS) Pay Scale. The General Schedule has 15 grades—GS-1 to GS-15—and the Senior Executive Service (SES). The OCC’s Compensation Program, the NB Pay Plan, consists of nine pay
bands, NB-I through NB-IX (see Base Salary Structure table below). These pay bands cover positions from the entry-level to the senior executive. Employee compensation is based on the
duties and responsibilities of the position, employee performance and expertise, and the increased contributions employees bring to their positions as they develop and apply broader
skills.

Employees assigned to designated locations are eligible to receive locality pay differentials in addition to their base pay. Use the Pay Band/City Salary Calculator below to

Interview: Natalia Pakhotina – Russian Cultural Center

– Tell your story in America. Where did you study and work before Texas? Was Texas your choice, or was it a coincidence?

I came to the USA from Siberia, from Novosibirsk Academgorodok, both my husband and I graduated from Novosibirsk State University, however, in different specialties: I am an economist, and he is a physicist. Together they decided to continue their studies in the USA for a doctoral degree. Getting into one university wasn’t easy, but fortunately we were both accepted at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Texas was not a conscious choice, it so happened that my husband was offered a job at Texas A&M University (TAMU), and we moved to College Station (College Station), a year later I also got a job at the university, so we stayed in Texas.

– Please tell us about your work. Which of your projects stand out the most and why?

It will soon be 10 years since I have been a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics at TAMU. I love my job: it is creative, it always makes me develop and grow professionally, master new technologies, and this year I suddenly had to master video editing. I also like the fact that teachers have a freer schedule than in other professions, long vacations for the new year and summer. Not to say that there are projects in the teaching work, we rather have semesters and courses. I remember how scary it was for the first time to go to a class where 250 students were sitting in the audience at once. But then, on the contrary, it became more comfortable when there are a lot of students, and if the hall is half full, then something seems to be missing. It is remembered when the semester went well, there was good contact with students, when at the end of the semester they come to you to shake hands and say thank you. For one year, I tried to organize the Study Abroad program – to take American students to Russia in the summer, I planned to show them Moscow and St. Petersburg. For the program to be approved, 10 students had to be recruited. Just before the spring break, there were just 10 people, the program was approved, and then during the holidays one student changed his mind and everything was suddenly canceled. It was a shame, since then I haven’t tried it anymore, but maybe someday in the future it will be possible to implement this project.

What do you like most about Texas?

We haven’t lived anywhere but the south of the USA, so it’s hard for me to compare. I love the Texas fall, winter, and spring – the fact that most of the year you can leave the house without wearing warm clothes. Spring flowering in the fields. That you can at least every day cook food on the street on the grill. I like many economic factors: relatively low prices, a good labor market. We enjoy going to local events like Brazos Valley Fair and Rodeo, TAMU Physics Festival. It is very nice that people, organizations and the city always try to organize family events.

– What traditions and habits have you retained from your pre-Texan life?

We always cook soups at home (borscht is our favorite) and pancakes, and for the holidays we make Olivier and other Russian salads. We continue according to the Russian tradition to celebrate the New Year more than Christmas. We want our children to know and love the snowy winter, for this, from the age of 3 we take them regularly to the skating rink, and in winter we try to go “to the snow”. True, it didn’t work out this year, but snow itself came to us in Texas, a lot of snow fell, so the children even built a snow fort in front of the house.

– How are your relations with your homeland? Do you miss any aspects of life at home?

Yes, I miss you very much, I am always drawn to Russia, I try to keep in touch with my friends who stayed there. But I don’t follow the news, I usually learn about everything from friends and relatives. I travel to Russia with great joy, I miss the change of seasons, golden autumn and snowy winter, my hometown, friends and parents. There is not enough cultural life in a big city, we live here in a small city, there are not enough theaters, museums, a center where you can walk around.

– Please tell us about your family.

Our family is friendly: me, my husband and three daughters. Home is always fun and there is something to do. It will soon be 20 years since my husband and I have been together. The older daughters are twins, they are 10 years old, and the younger one is 8.

– What do you do outside of work? What are your interests and hobbies?

I love to travel! Sometimes I draw, in the past I regularly practiced yoga, skated, now I suddenly took up tennis. I love watching movies and reading books, baking cakes, playing board games, going to the Escape Room with my friends.

– What else would you like to tell us about yourself?

Our family loves to travel, we try to go somewhere whenever possible. Last year we were in Montenegro and Russia, in the winter we often go to Vermont, this year we went to Colorado in the summer, and in the fall we went closer – to Lake Travis. We are strongly connected with Austin, as my husband has been working at General Motors in the north of Austin in recent years, and three years ago we seriously considered moving, then it did not work out, but who knows, maybe in the future we will still become residents of your wonderful city!

– How do you participate in the life of the Russian-speaking community in Texas?

Most of all, I am involved in organizing children’s events. College Station, unlike Austin, is a small city and does not have its own Russian school, so if we want to attend some Russian-language events for children, then the parents themselves need to organize everything. For five or six years now, my friends and I have been holding a New Year’s party for children with fairy-tale characters, Santa Claus, gifts, contests in Russian. We have a Russian-speaking children’s theater, also completely amateur, under the guidance of parents. We ourselves are directors, and producers, and make-up artists, and sound engineers, and stage workers. They staged musical performances “New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Vitya” and “Mama”, and last year they swung at Pinocchio, and, despite the coronavirus and a break in rehearsals for six months, they nevertheless recently staged a performance in a street amphitheater.

But we are also actively involved in other events: we organize barbecues in the park, celebrate Maslenitsa, play “What? Where? When?” in the art gallery Degallery.

– What events do you remember the most?

All our children’s performances left vivid memories. Individual meetings are remembered. For example, how they saw off friends who were leaving the city for good, or how last year a huge Russian-speaking company gathered in the park for barbecue just shortly before everything closed due to a pandemic and it became impossible to meet with a large company.

What are your favorite books and movies?

Different books at different ages. As a child, for example, I adored “The Headless Horseman” by Mine Reed, the book takes place in Texas and then it seemed so exotic, who would have thought that then I would live here! In her youth, she was very fond of Eco, Fowles, Maugham, Bulgakov, Strugatsky, Khmelevskaya. Then my husband got me into fantasy and sci-fi, I was one of George R.R.R. Martin’s early A Song of Ice and Fire fans long before the series, and even met him when he came to AggieCon at College Station in 2013. By the way, it was our library at TAMU that he chose as the official repository of his correspondence, manuscripts and books. Now I’m mostly reading children’s books again – the circle is complete. I often don’t have enough time and energy to read for myself, but sometimes it happens that I still read something new. In recent years, Kurt Vonnegut has made the biggest impression on me. Not to say that this is a pleasant read, but it makes you think, and he knows how to surprise with unexpected plot twists. From the fascinating reading recently, I liked Expanse (by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), at first I liked the series, so I wanted to read the book as well.

I also like a variety of films. Every New Year, for example, we always watch a musical comedy from childhood – “Magicians”. I really love the old Soviet adaptation of Maugham’s Theater with Viya Artmane, Sherlock Holmes with Livanov and Solomin, Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, in my opinion, everything came together perfectly in these films: actors, script, directing, music. From romantic comedies, I like Bridget Jones’s Diary the most (and the book, by the way, too), from recent films – I won’t be original – I liked the mini-series Queen’s Gambit.

– What would you like to wish the Russian-speaking residents of Austin and Texas?

Health, prosperity, do not forget the Russian language and culture and continue to keep Austin weird!

A HOBBY THAT BECAME A VOCATION. DARIA DEGA – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

The owner of the Degalleri gallery, Daria Dega, is a doctor by profession. But when she came to her husband in College Station, she decided to postpone the confirmation of her diploma, which required a lot of time and effort, and took up her favorite hobby – drawing. Not being a professional artist, but having graduated from an art school in Russia, she noticed that there is no place in the city where children, like a Russian school, would learn to draw. The best that was available was the Paint and Sip network, where we sometimes went out with friends to draw and spend time.

“Once my friends told me that such a network studio was for sale,” says Daria, “and that it would be a good idea for us to buy it. My husband and I thought about it and began to study this issue. Putting all the pros and cons together, we realized that it’s better not to buy a studio from the network, but to open something of our own, independent, where you can invite artists, musicians, and the Russian-speaking community. The idea was finalized in February, and on March 8, 2016, my husband gave me a gift – a package of documents for our gallery.”

This is how Degagalleri came to College Station. “At first it was a “test of the pen,” Daria continues her story. – Firstly, I have never been in business, I still did not speak English well enough, I was not familiar with the peculiarities of marketing in America. Secondly, my youngest child was only 6 months old. But we decided to try and found a place based on the cost and convenience of the contract.”

Daria rented a room in the city center for four years, but literally after a year and a half she realized that everything was working out, and that this was exactly what she wanted to do. Then she and her husband began to think about acquiring their own premises. After waiting 3 years (this is the minimum period for obtaining a good business loan), the search began.

“It turned out to be not only extremely difficult, but almost impossible,” recalls Daria. – College Station, unlike, for example, Houston, is divided into zones. Strict restrictions have been introduced in the city: the area is either commercial or residential, but if you look in Bryan, where other galleries are located, then people from the southern residential area are unlikely to go to art classes every day. There are practically no art galleries in College Station itself, it is a university city.

Daria had clear requirements for a new location: a large parking lot, a yard, a building of sufficient size and the right location. No glass office or old building far out of town would do.

“We were already close to the decision to do nothing, close the business and forget about this idea. We realized that it is not profitable to pay a huge rent further, and we cannot find anything suitable.

And a year ago, a miracle happened on Christmas Eve. Our agent called me and said that there is one place that, although not for sale, but for rent, seems to fit all my parameters. True, there is one “but” – the building is in a very neglected state. We decided to take a look. When I saw this building, I realized that I was ready to buy it for any money. It had everything you need. We started talking to owners who didn’t want to sell, but we convinced them.”

The couple signed the contract in December 2019, of course, having no idea that the coronavirus would soon break out. It took another six months to go through all the commissions and paperwork, and finally, in June 2020, the deal was closed, just when the epidemic was in full swing.

Having received the keys, Daria and her husband began the renovation themselves, which they completed by the end of August. By this time the businesses were up and running and the new gallery was able to open. In September 2020, art studio classes began here.

“Today we have over 17 different classes at various levels. Adults and children are engaged in painting, watercolor, sculpture, several teachers work. Children from 3 to 17 years old come to children’s classes. We organize children’s camps, hold competitions, arrange exhibitions.

Initially, we focused specifically on the art studio, but when I opened it, I realized that there are many talented people from the CIS and local artists who need a place where they can show their work. There are not many places like this here. Many galleries in America are more like shops, where you don’t often see solo exhibitions of interesting artists. So, in parallel with the classes, we began to exhibit talented artists, to help them arrange master classes.

The new location has more opportunities and new projects. We have a small river with turtles, a forest, so plein air classes have become popular.

Interview: Natalia Pakhotina – Russian Cultural Center

– Tell your story in America. Where did you study and work before Texas? Was Texas your choice, or was it a coincidence?

I came to the USA from Siberia, from Novosibirsk Academgorodok, both my husband and I graduated from Novosibirsk State University, however, in different specialties: I am an economist, and he is a physicist. Together they decided to continue their studies in the USA for a doctoral degree. Getting into one university wasn’t easy, but fortunately we were both accepted at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Texas was not a conscious choice, it so happened that my husband was offered a job at Texas A&M University (TAMU), and we moved to College Station (College Station), a year later I also got a job at the university, so we stayed in Texas.

– Please tell us about your work. Which of your projects stand out the most and why?

It will soon be 10 years since I have been a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics at TAMU. I love my job: it is creative, it always makes me develop and grow professionally, master new technologies, and this year I suddenly had to master video editing. I also like the fact that teachers have a freer schedule than in other professions, long vacations for the new year and summer. Not to say that there are projects in the teaching work, we rather have semesters and courses. I remember how scary it was for the first time to go to a class where 250 students were sitting in the audience at once. But then, on the contrary, it became more comfortable when there are a lot of students, and if the hall is half full, then something seems to be missing. It is remembered when the semester went well, there was good contact with students, when at the end of the semester they come to you to shake hands and say thank you. For one year, I tried to organize the Study Abroad program – to take American students to Russia in the summer, I planned to show them Moscow and St. Petersburg. For the program to be approved, 10 students had to be recruited. Just before the spring break, there were just 10 people, the program was approved, and then during the holidays one student changed his mind and everything was suddenly canceled. It was a shame, since then I haven’t tried it anymore, but maybe someday in the future it will be possible to implement this project.

What do you like most about Texas?

We haven’t lived anywhere but the south of the USA, so it’s hard for me to compare. I love the Texas fall, winter, and spring – the fact that most of the year you can leave the house without wearing warm clothes. Spring flowering in the fields. That you can at least every day cook food on the street on the grill. I like many economic factors: relatively low prices, a good labor market. We enjoy going to local events like Brazos Valley Fair and Rodeo, TAMU Physics Festival. It is very nice that people, organizations and the city always try to organize family events.

– What traditions and habits have you retained from your pre-Texan life?

We always cook soups at home (borscht is our favorite) and pancakes, and for the holidays we make Olivier and other Russian salads. We continue according to the Russian tradition to celebrate the New Year more than Christmas. We want our children to know and love the snowy winter, for this, from the age of 3 we take them regularly to the skating rink, and in winter we try to go “to the snow”. True, it didn’t work out this year, but snow itself came to us in Texas, a lot of snow fell, so the children even built a snow fort in front of the house.

– How are your relations with your homeland? Do you miss any aspects of life at home?

Yes, I miss you very much, I am always drawn to Russia, I try to keep in touch with my friends who stayed there. But I don’t follow the news, I usually learn about everything from friends and relatives. I travel to Russia with great joy, I miss the change of seasons, golden autumn and snowy winter, my hometown, friends and parents. There is not enough cultural life in a big city, we live here in a small city, there are not enough theaters, museums, a center where you can walk around.

– Please tell us about your family.

Our family is friendly: me, my husband and three daughters. Home is always fun and there is something to do. It will soon be 20 years since my husband and I have been together. The older daughters are twins, they are 10 years old, and the younger one is 8.

– What do you do outside of work? What are your interests and hobbies?

I love to travel! Sometimes I draw, in the past I regularly practiced yoga, skated, now I suddenly took up tennis. I love watching movies and reading books, baking cakes, playing board games, going to the Escape Room with my friends.

– What else would you like to tell us about yourself?

Our family loves to travel, we try to go somewhere whenever possible. Last year we were in Montenegro and Russia, in the winter we often go to Vermont, this year we went to Colorado in the summer, and in the fall we went closer – to Lake Travis. We are strongly connected with Austin, as my husband has been working at General Motors in the north of Austin in recent years, and three years ago we seriously considered moving, then it did not work out, but who knows, maybe in the future we will still become residents of your wonderful city!

– How do you participate in the life of the Russian-speaking community in Texas?

Most of all, I am involved in organizing children’s events. College Station, unlike Austin, is a small city and does not have its own Russian school, so if we want to attend some Russian-language events for children, then the parents themselves need to organize everything. For five or six years now, my friends and I have been holding a New Year’s party for children with fairy-tale characters, Santa Claus, gifts, contests in Russian. We have a Russian-speaking children’s theater, also completely amateur, under the guidance of parents. We ourselves are directors, and producers, and make-up artists, and sound engineers, and stage workers. They staged musical performances “New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Vitya” and “Mama”, and last year they swung at Pinocchio, and, despite the coronavirus and a break in rehearsals for six months, they nevertheless recently staged a performance in a street amphitheater.

But we are also actively involved in other events: we organize barbecues in the park, celebrate Maslenitsa, play “What? Where? When?” in the art gallery Degallery.

– What events do you remember the most?

All our children’s performances left vivid memories. Individual meetings are remembered. For example, how they saw off friends who were leaving the city for good, or how last year a huge Russian-speaking company gathered in the park for barbecue just shortly before everything closed due to a pandemic and it became impossible to meet with a large company.

What are your favorite books and movies?

Different books at different ages. As a child, for example, I adored “The Headless Horseman” by Mine Reed, the book takes place in Texas and then it seemed so exotic, who would have thought that then I would live here! In her youth, she was very fond of Eco, Fowles, Maugham, Bulgakov, Strugatsky, Khmelevskaya. Then my husband got me into fantasy and sci-fi, I was one of George R.R.R. Martin’s early A Song of Ice and Fire fans long before the series, and even met him when he came to AggieCon at College Station in 2013. By the way, it was our library at TAMU that he chose as the official repository of his correspondence, manuscripts and books. Now I’m mostly reading children’s books again – the circle is complete. I often don’t have enough time and energy to read for myself, but sometimes it happens that I still read something new. In recent years, Kurt Vonnegut has made the biggest impression on me. Not to say that this is a pleasant read, but it makes you think, and he knows how to surprise with unexpected plot twists. From the fascinating reading recently, I liked Expanse (by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), at first I liked the series, so I wanted to read the book as well.

I also like a variety of films. Every New Year, for example, we always watch a musical comedy from childhood – “Magicians”. I really love the old Soviet adaptation of Maugham’s Theater with Viya Artmane, Sherlock Holmes with Livanov and Solomin, Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, in my opinion, everything came together perfectly in these films: actors, script, directing, music. From romantic comedies, I like Bridget Jones’s Diary the most (and the book, by the way, too), from recent films – I won’t be original – I liked the mini-series Queen’s Gambit.

– What would you like to wish the Russian-speaking residents of Austin and Texas?

Health, prosperity, do not forget the Russian language and culture and continue to keep Austin weird!

A HOBBY THAT BECAME A VOCATION. DARIA DEGA – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

The owner of the Degalleri gallery, Daria Dega, is a doctor by profession. But when she came to her husband in College Station, she decided to postpone the confirmation of her diploma, which required a lot of time and effort, and took up her favorite hobby – drawing. Not being a professional artist, but having graduated from an art school in Russia, she noticed that there is no place in the city where children, like a Russian school, would learn to draw. The best that was available was the Paint and Sip network, where we sometimes went out with friends to draw and spend time.

“Once my friends told me that such a network studio was for sale,” says Daria, “and that it would be a good idea for us to buy it. My husband and I thought about it and began to study this issue. Putting all the pros and cons together, we realized that it’s better not to buy a studio from the network, but to open something of our own, independent, where you can invite artists, musicians, and the Russian-speaking community. The idea was finalized in February, and on March 8, 2016, my husband gave me a gift – a package of documents for our gallery.”

This is how Degagalleri came to College Station. “At first it was a “test of the pen,” Daria continues her story. – Firstly, I have never been in business, I still did not speak English well enough, I was not familiar with the peculiarities of marketing in America. Secondly, my youngest child was only 6 months old. But we decided to try and found a place based on the cost and convenience of the contract.”

Daria rented a room in the city center for four years, but literally after a year and a half she realized that everything was working out, and that this was exactly what she wanted to do. Then she and her husband began to think about acquiring their own premises. After waiting 3 years (this is the minimum period for obtaining a good business loan), the search began.

“It turned out to be not only extremely difficult, but almost impossible,” recalls Daria. – College Station, unlike, for example, Houston, is divided into zones. Strict restrictions have been introduced in the city: the area is either commercial or residential, but if you look in Bryan, where other galleries are located, then people from the southern residential area are unlikely to go to art classes every day. There are practically no art galleries in College Station itself, it is a university city.

Daria had clear requirements for a new location: a large parking lot, a yard, a building of sufficient size and the right location. No glass office or old building far out of town would do.

“We were already close to the decision to do nothing, close the business and forget about this idea. We realized that it is not profitable to pay a huge rent further, and we cannot find anything suitable.

And a year ago, a miracle happened on Christmas Eve. Our agent called me and said that there is one place that, although not for sale, but for rent, seems to fit all my parameters. True, there is one “but” – the building is in a very neglected state. We decided to take a look. When I saw this building, I realized that I was ready to buy it for any money. It had everything you need. We started talking to owners who didn’t want to sell, but we convinced them.”

The couple signed the contract in December 2019, of course, having no idea that the coronavirus would soon break out. It took another six months to go through all the commissions and paperwork, and finally, in June 2020, the deal was closed, just when the epidemic was in full swing.

Having received the keys, Daria and her husband began the renovation themselves, which they completed by the end of August. By this time the businesses were up and running and the new gallery was able to open. In September 2020, art studio classes began here.

“Today we have over 17 different classes at various levels. Adults and children are engaged in painting, watercolor, sculpture, several teachers work. Children from 3 to 17 years old come to children’s classes. We organize children’s camps, hold competitions, arrange exhibitions.

Initially, we focused specifically on the art studio, but when I opened it, I realized that there are many talented people from the CIS and local artists who need a place where they can show their work. There are not many places like this here. Many galleries in America are more like shops, where you don’t often see solo exhibitions of interesting artists. So, in parallel with the classes, we began to exhibit talented artists, to help them arrange master classes.

The new location has more opportunities and new projects. We have a small river with turtles, a forest, so plein air classes have become popular.
