Child dies after car crashes into day care on Goldenrod Road – WFTV

ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Lily Quintus, 4, of Orlando died following a car crash at a day care in Orange County Wednesday afternoon.

A small memorial for Quintus was set up at the KinderCare center by Wednesday night.

Robert Corchado, 28, was named a suspect in connection with the crash that injured 15 at the day care on Goldenrod Road near University Boulevard. He may be trying to leave Orlando, authorities said.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers said they believe Corchado, the driver of a silver Dodge Durango, rear-ended a Toyota Solara, which crashed into the building.

The car wound up inside the front room and was removed around 6:45 p.m.

The driver of the Toyota wasn’t injured.

Eight children were taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital.

One is in critical condition, three are in serious condition and one is in fair condition. Two children have been released.

Hospital officials said Quintus died at 6:45 p.m Wednesday.

In all, 13 people were taken to local hospitals from the scene.

Authorities located the Durango shortly after 5 p.m. in Winter Park. Witnesses said they saw someone drop it off at a house, get into another car and drive off.

Later Wednesday, authorities confirmed Corchado rented a small, black Mazda SUV from an Enterprise in Winter Park, with a Florida license plate CHR-Q41.

“It could have easily been his side of the school and he could have been one of them,” said parent Yvette Santiago.

Santiago cried when she said she feared her 3-year-old son was among the injured.

“I’m glad he’s fine, but it still breaks my heart knowing [that] there’s a lot of other kids that got injured,” she said.

One man said he saw the crash that led to the carnage inside the day care .

“I heard a crash, and I saw the black car run up over the sidewalk and into the school,” said Jeezy Jenkins.

Skywitness 9 was over the scene as small children were carried out and put into stretchers and into ambulances.

An FHP trooper said there were a wide variety of injuries to the 12 children and two adults.

“The injuries on the children range from severe, critical and all the way though to minor,” the trooper said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities immediately.

“Charming eyes…” : Gatchina24 – News, Events, Poster of Gatchina and Gatchina region

in the Gatchina school No. 4. Schoolchildren from the 5th to the 11th grades took part in the competitive program of the holiday. The task of each class was to think over their composition and present it, revealing the chosen topic.

The subtle, tart aroma of autumn flowers that filled the school that day reminded of the first bell that had recently sounded at the solemn line. For the second school holiday this academic year, the guys were preparing all last week. The space in front of the auditorium stage was lined with floral artifacts, ranging from complex, elaborate arrangements to simple, sweet bouquets. Chrysanthemums and asters, sunflowers and goldenrod, heleniums and rudbeckias, amaranths and marigolds – everything that our autumn so generously squanders before the onset of cold weather pleased and surprised at the same time.

The organizers of the festival were high school students, and it became a kind of science for the younger children – very little time will pass, and the baton of the main mass entertainers will rightfully pass to them.

Each bouquet had its own name. “Maple Roses”, “Shards of the Sun”, “Last Rays of Light”, “Autumn Waltz”, “Autumn’s Farewell Kiss” – poetry sounded not only in the titles of the compositions. Presenting their bouquets, the guys read poems by great Russian and contemporary poets. And this was the most successful decision, since only poets are able to find words that can describe the amazing beauty of our nature.

The competition began with the presentation of bouquets by the smallest participants of the festival. I was surprised by the exquisite names that the guys gave to their creations. All the bouquets were good in their own way, and yet everyone was captivated by the composition called “Autumn Palette”, assembled according to all the rules of the Japanese art of arranging bouquets. Luxurious bouquet has absorbed everything that northern autumn can give us. Roses skillfully folded from maple leaves, coastal grasses and oak leaves, all kinds of fruits – wild rose, apples, mountain ash, viburnum, acorns. The core of this exquisite composition was a dry branch, which emphasized the low-key charm of autumn colors.

In terms of originality of ideas, the sixth grades did not lag behind their younger comrades. A vase for one of their compositions was … a tarpaulin boot. The guys named this bouquet “Platoon 6-1” – this idea was suggested to them by last year’s war game “Zarnitsa”. As a musical accompaniment for this presentation, the famously performed old song “Soldiers, brave children” was used, which brought a light cheerful confusion to the holiday.

A sad note sounded that day at the flower festival. A composition dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attack in Beslan was presented by ninth-graders. Heavy purple clusters of amaranths bent over two white candles. The background for this composition was a black scarf – a symbol of misfortune and enduring sadness.

Perhaps one of the most touching compositions was “Sunflowers” presented by seventh-graders. With this cute word, the guys called flowers of completely different “breeds”, but just as sunny, cozy and affectionate.

Children’s fantasies about autumn bouquets turned out to be so diverse and bizarre that a strict jury had to come up with nominations, the number of which was close to the number of bouquets. “Tradition”, “Inspiration”, “We are friends with nature”, “For elegance and fantasy”, “Originality of ideas” – each of these and other nominations found its winner. But the main thing, of course, was not that. The task of the competition included the ability of children not only to see the beauty in modest autumn colors, but also to express it through joint efforts – a wonderful and useful skill at the same time.

What to plant with tomatoes?

227

Like all living things, some plants are well compatible, while others do not get along well when planted together. Compatible plants usually provide some benefit to each other. For example, one plant may attract insects that will help pollinate another.

The root systems of some plants also work well together. In this article, we will look at the combination of tomatoes with other plants. According to the observation of gardeners, planting tomatoes next to some crops brings additional benefits – it increases the strength of plant growth and the quality of fruits. And other companions, on the contrary, harm tomatoes.

Flowers compatible with tomatoes

Many beautifully flowering plants are repellent and repel insects, so planting them near tomatoes helps reduce pest infestation. Calendula, also known as marigolds, usually repels many insects, such as worms that damage tomatoes. Marigolds also provide protection against insects: whiteflies, tomato worms, various beetles, cabbage moths and soil nematodes.

Although this combination may seem bizarre from a landscape design point of view, gardeners also note that tomatoes have a positive effect on rose bushes. Growing tomato next to roses has been observed to protect roses from black spot and other fungal infections. Tomato leaves contain a chemical that acts as an insecticide on certain insects that can attack the rose.

Strong smells of nasturtium and marigold confuse pests looking for their favorite food. In addition, their roots produce a nematode-repellent substance. There is evidence that nasturtiums are effective against whiteflies and cabbage moths, as well as against aphids and some beetles.

Cornflowers, kosmeya, goldenrod, asters and rudbeckia attract insects that provide additional pest control by preying on harmful insects.

What herbs go well with tomatoes in the garden?

We often use aromatic herbs to add spice to food, but many spices are also good companions for tomatoes. The classic combination of tomato and basil works both on the plate and in the garden. Basil is said to repel mosquitoes, flies, and tomato worms, as well as help attract beneficial insects to your garden.

While there is no scientific evidence for this, gardeners have observed that basil can also improve the taste of tomato fruits and promote more vigorous plant growth. The only way to test this claim is to try planting basil near the tomatoes in your garden. Especially since basil, as a rule, is shorter than tomatoes and will not shade them from the light. Borage (borage, borage) also provides protection for bushes from tomato worms.

Mint is not only a great tea ingredient and sedative, it can also repel typical garden pests such as ants, mice and fleas. Mint is also effective against cabbage moth infections, and, among other things, increases the overall immunity of tomato bushes and improves the taste of fruits.

Fragrant mint can be planted next to tomatoes or used as a useful mulch for tomato beds. Lemon balm and monarda, which are close relatives of mint, attract pollinators that contribute to the pollination of tomatoes, and also improve the taste and growth of tomatoes.

Other herbs that grow well next to tomatoes are green onions and parsley. Parsley accelerates the growth of tomatoes and attracts predatory insects that feed on tomato worms. However, it should be borne in mind that parsley should not be planted next to mint, because these plants have a very negative effect on each other. Instead, you can plant parsley in the company of tomatoes and roses, since parsley also helps to enhance the aroma of the rose.

Vegetables compatible with tomatoes

Some vegetables are also compatible with tomatoes in the garden. Garlic and onion are among the most powerful insect repellent plants. And members of the Onion family are very good companions for tomatoes, especially effective against aphids, beetles and spider mites (particularly red spider mites).

Onions planted in a ring around a tomato patch protect plants from pests such as mites, slugs and earwigs and, where appropriate, repel marmots. Garlic prevents red spider mites from infesting tomatoes and is also effective against aphids on roses, making these crops suitable for garden trios.

Garlic, basil and tomatoes are another popular trio for planting together, as garlic heads keep aphids, mites and nematodes away (and roses, by the way, protect against black spot). Broccoli also grows well alongside onions, garlic, and tomatoes, so consider planting them together.

Early carrots can also be planted next to tomatoes as the crop can be harvested before the tomato bushes grow and take up space. Although carrots do not prevent disease or repel insects, they are considered a friendly neighbor for tomatoes. Its deep roots loosen the soil around the tomatoes, making it easier for water and nutrients, as well as air, to circulate around the tomato roots.

However, be aware that there is also evidence that proximity to tomatoes may stunt carrot growth, although root vegetables taste good. In addition to early carrots, spinach and leaf lettuce also contribute to the efficient use of space in tomato beds, since this is a crop that is harvested shortly after planting tomato seedlings.

Beans and peas are commonly combined with many crops because legumes add nitrogen to the soil. Planting asparagus between tomato plants provides asparagus protection from beetles. At the same time, the harvest from these plants is harvested at different times of the year, and their combination saves space in the garden. Asparagus appears in early spring, while tomatoes are planted in the garden much later.

Plants incompatible with tomatoes

Some plants cause harm to tomatoes when they grow nearby. Potatoes and tomatoes are members of the same nightshade family and are subject to the same diseases and infections, so they should grow as far apart as possible.

Corn is another plant that is not compatible with tomatoes as the worm infects both plants. Most members of the cruciferous family need a lot of nutrition and take a lot of nutrients out of the soil, and tomatoes are nutritionally deficient. Also, white cabbage inhibits the growth of tomatoes in general.

Some plants are simply not designed to coexist in the same place, and combining them can seriously retard growth or increase the vulnerability of one or both plants to diseases and pests. In particular, fennel, dill, rue, kohlrabi, white cabbage, cauliflower, walnut and apricot are especially negative for tomatoes.

Business plan for a private kindergarten with calculations

Despite the fact that kindergartens quickly attract customers, during the launch of a business, it is necessary to carefully consider a marketing strategy and draw up a marketing plan.

It is necessary to start the advertising campaign of the kindergarten one month before its opening. Several tools are used to successfully enroll children in kindergarten:

• signboard,
• window advertising,0008
• internet,
• cross-marketing,
• word of mouth.

Kindergarten sign

The sign is a very effective tool to attract customers, because the kindergarten services are mainly used by those parents who live in the immediate vicinity. However, using a sign as a tool to attract customers is possible only if the kindergarten is located on the ground floor or in a private house. We not only develop a bright, memorable layout of a sign, but also pass on the algorithm for its approval.

Advertising in kindergarten windows

Advertising in windows is the second most effective marketing tool, but, again, it has limitations. It can only be used if the kindergarten is located no higher than the third floor. The higher the floor, the less effective such advertising works. Layouts are developed for our Partners, individually for each room.

Kindergarten leaflets

Nowadays, people are tired of the huge number of leaflets they receive in mailboxes and on the street. However, this tool can be very effective. Indeed, in leaflets we describe the advantages of our kindergarten, and clients receive recorded contacts by which they can be contacted. In order to increase the credibility of the leaflets and prevent the client from throwing them into the nearest bin, we, firstly, develop a colorful design project, and secondly, we entrust the distribution of leaflets to our branded life-size puppet, with which children can play and take pictures.

Kindergarten Internet Marketing

The Internet is of great importance in the life of a modern mother. Therefore, the first thing we do is create accounts on the most popular social networks. From the very beginning of our activity, we have been actively recruiting an audience with the help of targeting and interesting publications.

In addition, information about the Partner and his contact appears on the main site, and requests received from the site are immediately transferred to the Partner.

Be sure to place a point on Yandex and Google maps. This helps customers find a kindergarten faster.

Cross-marketing of the kindergarten

7 children’s goods stores,

Cross-marketing is a good tool for informing about the services of a kindergarten, when we agree with related businesses on mutual advertising, i.e. we distribute our leaflets on their territory, and they place theirs with us. All companies that also focus on selling goods or services for mothers are suitable for such interaction.

Before starting work, it is necessary to draw up a marketing plan, in which it is necessary to prescribe the budget, frequency and duration for each tool.

In the future, the marketing plan is adjusted based on their statistics and its effectiveness.

Open a private kindergarten: a business plan with calculations

How to open a private kindergarten, the business plan of which depends on ambitions, initial funds and organizational capabilities? This type of business can hardly be classified as highly profitable; it is not suitable for every locality due to the high cost of the services provided. At the same time, the project itself is not able to bring excess profit to its owner, the monthly income is limited to 100-150 tr.

General

A private kindergarten is best located in a separate house, which can provide all the necessary playgrounds for children. It is difficult to do this in an apartment, since the yards of modern houses are poorly equipped with playgrounds, they constantly have a lot of vehicles that pose a threat to the life and health of children.

In some cases, they go to convert apartments into private kindergartens. In such options, it is necessary to provide a separate game room and bedroom, kitchen and dining room. The room should be equipped with a sports corner, in which there will be horizontal bars, wall bars, gymnastic balls, and there should be mats on the floor.

Keep in mind that parents will pay from 10 to 25 tr. for each child. per month. This is a lot of money, and parents will want to make sure that they are not giving it away for shabby walls and poor furnishings. The room should be in good repair.

The main value of such an institution is the child development program. Parents will constantly compare the development of their children with others who attend public or other private kindergartens. Therefore, the main criterion for evaluation will be the development of children, their abilities and skills. Emphasis should be placed on the development of reading, counting, visual arts skills. On the other hand, a small number of children allows educators to objectively pay more attention to children, which will certainly affect their level of development even with conventional training programs.

Don’t be fooled by the high cost of services. Groups in such gardens are small – 10-15 people. The number of groups is 1-2, no more. And the company’s income is mainly spent on rent, payroll, food for children. In order to increase the income of such an enterprise, it is necessary either to build (rent) a large room in which 5 groups or more can simultaneously be located, or to develop the project by opening branches throughout the city.

An important point! Such establishments are not successful in regions where the average salary is below the general level in the country. If a family with two working parents earns 35-40 tr. or less, then give 15-20 tr. for a private kindergarten it will be unprofitable for them.

What documents need to be issued?

If a private kindergarten is not going to disguise itself as a development center, then its activities are carried out in accordance with the law “On Education”. This means that any legal entity that carries out educational activities is required to issue a license for this. It is issued by the State Educational Authority of a specific subject of Russia. You will have to apply to the relevant education authority of the region – the ministry, committee or department.

The following documents must be submitted to this authority:

• constituent documents of the enterprise;
• lease agreement or documents for the ownership of the premises;
• conclusions of the sanitary and epidemiological station (SES) and firefighters on the compliance of the premises with the requirements of sanitary, building and fire standards;
• detailed educational program;
• data on teaching staff and their qualifications;
• data on the estimated number of children in the institution;
• information on the availability of educational and methodological literature;
• data on the material and technical base.

But most often they go the other way. The good news is that there is no need to obtain a license for developmental and educational activities. Recreation licenses are not required. This means that you do not have to coordinate the selected premises with a representative of government agencies. To do this, you need to call a private kindergarten a development center. In this case, you will have to deal only with representatives of the SES and firefighters, who will periodically come with a check. Only the organizers of the development center will have to explain to the inspectors why children who are in the center part-time need cribs.

Selection of premises

We have already mentioned in passing the premises required to open a private kindergarten, but we should dwell on this issue in more detail. Such premises should not be located closer than 50 m to parking lots, garages, gas stations, freeways and any harmful environmental objects. The ceiling in the room must be at least 3 m high, and the window sills must be located at a height of at least 60 cm from the floor. The main windows should face south and east.

There should be no concrete floors. They must have an insulated base. Make sure that the walls of the rooms are resistant to moisture. One child is entitled to 6 m ² – this should be taken into account when forming a group. 15 children will already demand 90 m ² . For a kindergarten, the law necessarily requires the presence of a playroom, a bedroom, and a locker room with a dining room.

In the case of strict adherence to the law, it will not be possible to obtain a license for a room that has been converted from an apartment.

Kindergartens can only be organized in non-residential premises.

It is very problematic to transfer an apartment from a housing stock to a non-residential one. It is best to rent a private house, the rent of which will cost from 20 tr per month. Such a house already has its own courtyard, which can be used for a playground.

Even better if you can rent premises in the kindergartens themselves. They have already been made taking into account all the requirements, and renting them costs 1.5-2 times cheaper. But it is problematic to find empty premises of existing kindergartens. You can count on luck only in the old areas, in which many preschool educational institutions were previously built. In order not to search in vain, contact the district State Administration, the department that deals with communal property. In it you can find out exactly which premises suitable for kindergartens are currently idle. Additionally, in this department you can find out about the current regulations, and about the authorities to which you need to contact.

Expenses and incomes of the project

It was mentioned above that the kindergarten will not bring much income. How does it look in numbers? The room itself still needs to be prepared for a kindergarten. The business plan for a private kindergarten should include the following expenses:

• repairs – 150 tr;
• purchase of furniture (tables and chairs, beds and lockers) – 60 tr;
• purchase of necessary equipment (refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, stove) – 80 tr.;
• purchase of educational games, toys and children’s books, consumables in the form of pencils, albums, plasticine – 25 thousand rubles;

Total, the cost of preparing the premises will amount to 315 tr. What expenses should be provided for the enterprise per month? If a kindergarten or center is designed for 15 children, then it is necessary to hire two educators and one nanny, so the payroll will be 60 thousand rubles.

The rental of premises, as indicated above, will take from 20 tr. You will have to spend 35 tr on food. Utilities will cost 7 tr. Unforeseen expenses – 10 tr. The total amount that will be withdrawn monthly is 112 tr.

Payment for the services provided per child is 15 tr. There are 15 children in total, which means that the income of the enterprise will be 225 tr. We subtract monthly expenses and taxes, it remains 106 tr. net profit. It cannot be said that the income of the enterprise is low. And if the room allows you to keep 2 groups of 15 people, then the income will already exceed 200 tr. per month.

But keep in mind that the rent can be twice as high, the cost of the service is cheaper, and the payroll will require more money. In addition, the occupancy of groups is 60-80%, which further reduces the profitability of the enterprise.

Organization of the institution

The main product that is provided to customers is the preparation of the child for school, his general development. If a license was issued for an institution, then the education program is adjusted in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. This does not mean that you cannot introduce your own methods that will more effectively prepare and develop children. But the minimum requirements that are put forward to the licensee will have to be met.

The program must include visits to theaters and museums, parks and architectural monuments. Plan special events in the form of children’s birthdays, sports activities.

To stand out with some advantage over other similar private and public institutions, focus on some benefit. It can be entry-level English or memory development. If children begin to show high performance, there will be no end to customers who are willing to pay big money for the services provided. This will be a signal that you need to expand your business, create separate branches.

Other services can be provided on the basis of such a kindergarten.

Become a Skydiving Instructor – Licensing, Teacher Pay, Job Resources

Can you imagine jumping out of a perfectly good airplane? People do it every day. It’s called skydiving. For some it’s absolutely terrifying to consider jumping out of a plane, but for others it’s a fun and exhilarating experience. You can’t go skydiving without some training from a skydive instructor.

Skydiving instructors teach people the basics of skydiving. They take willing adults miles in the air and let them dive out of an airplane. Surprisingly it’s quite safe.

It is also very addicting. Once you dive, you’ll most likely want to go again and again. It’s as close as a human can get to flying. As a skydiving instructor you can afford this expensively addicting sport because you have students.

When you start skydiving you will attend a skydiving school where you will learn about equipment, drop zones, airplanes, freefalls, canopy flights, and landings. This is all covered over several hours in ground school. It’s best to find one approved by the United States Parachute Association.

After ground school you will load the plane and fly to an elevation about 2 to 3 miles about the ground. There you will jump out of the plane and put your new knowledge to work. As you dive out of the plane you will focus on proper body position. Then you will freefall for about a minute at about 120 miles per hour, or terminal velocity. Eventually you’ll open your parachute and enjoy 100-mile views as you float back to Earth.

A parachuting expert needs to skydive regularly and pay close attention to details and safety. You’ll also need to earn skydiving licenses, which will ultimately let you become an instructor. Your student jumps, courses, and gear are your skydiving tuition. It can be expensive, but it’s worth it. To become an instructor you need to be a member of the United States Parachute Association and log at least 500 jumps and 3 hours of freefall.

There are several levels of skydiving professionals – coach, instructor, examiner, pro, and judge. Each certification tests your knowledge, skill, and experience. Be sure to log your dives. Always record jump number, date, location, exit altitude, length of freefall, type of jump, distance from landing, equipment, and buddy.  There are also challenging oral, written, and practical exams.

Skydiving is a weekend, weather dependent sport, which is nice because it allows you to start your skydiving career part time. On any given day, you can do up to 10 or so jumps. Being a skydiving instructor is a pretty great gig about 10 months a year. During the winter it is too cold. For year round work, look in places like sunny California. Check for work at your local drop zone or online skydiving websites.

Instructors often work sunup to sundown teaching, packing parachutes, and skydiving. Wages will depend on where you work and how many dives you do. Some drop zones pay by the hour, but most pay by the jump. Many instructors do about 1000 dives per year at about $25 to $35 per dive. They can supplement that income by earning a riggers ticket to pack parachutes and make about $10 to $15 for each parachute they pack. At the end of the year, full time skydiving instructors will make between $20,000 and $40,000.

Skydiving instructors quite possibly have one of the most adrenaline pumping instructor jobs out there. They manage to take complete novices miles into the air, jump out of airplanes, and make it to the ground safely. If you think you might be ready for a job like that, go skydiving this weekend to see if it’s the career for you.

How Much Do Skydiving Instructors Make? (Average Salary Per Student)

Skydiving instructors are known to educate people concerning the safety procedures and equipment used while skydiving. These experts teach students about concepts and maneuvers like drop zones, freefalls, and canopy flights. They also cover important information concerning airplanes and landings.

Also, note that skydiving instructors may teach individuals or groups of people. Skydiving instructors often jump in tandem with their students, but they may also prepare students for their own jumps. Skydiving instructors are also expected to meet all licensing requirements and meet a required number of jumps and hours of freefall.

How Much Do Skydiving Instructors Make Per Student?

In the United States, skydiving instructor jobs tend to be seasonal or part-time. And while instructors can be hired as salaried employees, they are more or less paid for each class they supervise. According to reports, an instructor can be paid on a per-student, per class rate of about $20 – $30, although this figure tends to also vary depending on the instructor’s credentials and expertise, as well as other factors.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that self-enrichment education teachers, such as skydiving instructors, could expect a much faster than average job growth from 2018 to 2028, a 12 percent rate. The average salary will also be largely dependent on the reputation of the skydiving company and the location, which can help determine how many people are interested in trying skydiving.

Most skydiving instructors tend to venture into this field with a license and basic education, proving that they are well-versed and experienced in executing safe jumps, easy landings, and other job duties. However, just like was expressed above, the salary can be unpredictable; an increasing job growth rate highlights a very popular career for most people interested in teaching skydiving.

Skydiving is a job in which safety is paramount, especially since it is considered a high-speed activity in which you risk injury and death. If you have a history of epilepsy, obesity, heart problems or other conditions, you may not be able to work as a skydiver.

Howbeit, to stay on top of safety details, you will need to skydive regularly, consistently, and expertly perform all procedures, and maintain good judgment. Skydivers who are trained well, who stay current with safety precautions, and take a conservative approach to the job have very few accidents or injuries.

There are many perks to the job – flying in airplanes all day, daydreaming with your head in the clouds, and of course, freefall. Being a skydiving instructor means getting paid to be a certified commando. Here are the steps to take to achieve this very inspiring feat.

1. Earn a Skydiving License

In the United States, there are no formal licensure requirements to become a skydiving instructor. However, it might be nice to acquire one or more instructional ratings through the United States Parachute Association (USPA). Before pursuing these ratings, you are expected to earn your voluntary skydiving licensure, which first requires membership in the USPA.

There are four classes of skydiving licenses, which are awarded based on a skydiver’s proficiency. But to get a license, you are expected to submit a log of your jumps that includes the jump number, date, location, exit altitude, and length of time in free fall, as well as the distance you landed from your target, equipment you used and a signature verifying the jump. In addition, logs need to show what kind of jump it was, such as flying, canopy formation, or style jump.

2. Learn The Ropes

The two basic requirements to become a professional skydiving tandem instructor are 500 skydives and 3 years in the sport of skydiving. So when you first start skydiving it may seem like an impossible number to hit 500 jumps. However, once you get your license to skydive it becomes very easy to make several hundred jumps a season.

In the United States, lift tickets for licensed skydivers are only $27 which makes it much more affordable to skydive several times a day. Aside from requiring 500 skydives to become a Tandem Instructor, note that you need to have been in the sport for 3 years.

This requirement is to help skydivers learn all there is to know about the industry before they are allowed to start taking passengers on their first tandem skydives. There is so much to learn about the sport of skydiving that it takes several years of being around the sport to learn the fundamentals

3. Pursue Instructional Ratings

In the United States, to earn an instructional rating as a skydiving instructor, you are expected to pass an exam administered by the USPA, have an advanced skydiving license, display mastery of skydiving techniques, and demonstrate teaching proficiency. Note there are three types of instructor positions you could hold, including a coach, instructor, and instructor examiner.

As an instructor, you will mainly teach jump courses in one or more of the following areas: harness holding, assisted deployment, static line, or tandem jumping. You also might oversee coaches, who could instruct students in certain jump and free fall skills while under your supervision.

The instructor examiner is the apex of the USPA instructional rating program. As such, you would represent the USPA regarding specific drop zones. This typically includes offering advice to skydivers and providing administrative services.

4. Attend USPA Tandem Training Course

At this point, you’ve completed your training: USPA D License, 500 Skydives, 3 years in the sport, and USPA Coach Rating. Now it is time to hit the books and attend your final training course. In the United States, tandem instructors are required to take a course through the USPA. This course is designed to teach the instructors how to take passengers on their first tandem skydives and to learn how to operate the parachute system.

Conclusion

Have it in mind that Skydiving tends to be seasonal work, based largely on weather conditions. You jump out of planes, focusing on the proper body positioning. After jumping, you will free-fall for about 60 seconds, traveling at close to 120 miles per hour. Once you open your parachute, you will enjoy 100 – mile views as you float to Earth. As a skydiving instructor, you will train people in harness holding, assisted deployment, static line, and tandem jumping.

Note that most of your work will take place Earth-bound, more or less requiring you to oversee coaches or serve as an examiner of the instructional rating program of the United States Parachute Association (USPA). Also note that you will spend a lot of time checking and rechecking your gear and that of your fellow divers, making sure all parachutes will function properly every single time they are activated.

How to become a skydiving instructor

Skydiving is gaining more and more popularity not only among fans of extreme recreation. Now it is not only a sport, but also a popular entertainment event.

No matter how far you go in your intentions (become professional or stop at one attempt), you will always be accompanied by a skydiving instructor. No one can do without an instructor, because a beginner needs a person with extensive experience who will explain and demonstrate how to behave when one on one in the sky with a parachute.

What are the tasks of the instructor

Beginners to master all the subtleties of skydiving cannot do without their teacher and mentor, who the instructor will be. He demonstrates to beginners how a parachute works, talks about all its potential capabilities and how to use it, and studies safety rules. In addition, the ground training course includes training on simulators, theoretical lectures on behavior before the jump, during the flight and at the time of landing, moral support is provided.

For those who intend to jump for fun, the instructor will be a benevolent and demanding teacher who will warn against rash actions and frivolous behavior that can lead to disastrous consequences.

How to become a skydiving instructor

Only those who have become an experienced skydiver can apply for the title of instructor. An applicant for this responsible job must have more than one hundred jumps behind him, he must deal in practice with various parachute systems. But even this is not enough. The instructor must be a balanced person, calm and attentive, and also have an excellent physical shape. In addition, he must have pedagogical abilities in order to be able to convey his knowledge, skills and abilities to his students.

How do bilingual children learn Russian? Interview | Kidskey Blog

Can a child learn to read at 3? How are talented children tested in US schools and what is it like to be a mother of a gifted daughter? We talk about this and more in a new interview. We leave for the USA in the state of Tennessee, the city of Memphis. Let’s introduce you to the beautiful mother Marina and her clever daughter Lisa.

Marina, where are you from and how long have you been living in the USA?

I was born in Kamchatka, then I lived in Rostov, and later I moved to Moscow. Then she met her husband (he is Russian by nationality, but grew up in the USA) and immigrated to him in America.

⠀

I have been here for 7. 5 years.

Liza has both Russian parents, but has she been bilingual since childhood?

Yes, Lisa was born in the USA, but before kindergarten she knew only Russian. She mastered English after 4 years, but quite easily and quickly.

Marina, Tell me more about Lisa!

– Her teacher says that she is a brilliant child who knows everything and grasps new things instantly. This is true?

⠀

Yes, we are very lucky with our daughter. Now she is 7.5 years old, but she has never been an ordinary child with us. Lisa is developed and independent beyond her years, she even talks and talks like an adult. Like an aunt in a child’s body (laughs). Whatever she takes on, she succeeds.

Our youngest is completely different, a real child. Even when we were testing it, your methodologist, Valentina Andreevna, said that she should take a walk for the time being. So we are not in a hurry with it.

When did you first notice Lisa’s abilities?

For the first time she surprised us when she was 3. 5 years old, when she was visiting her grandmother in Russia. As usual, I called to find out how things were going and my grandmother said that Lisa was already trying to read. I say: “How?! She still speaks badly, but she already reads ?!

⠀

Then my grandmother said that she and Lisa were already slowly learning letters, and the first book she tried to read was Dumas’ collection.

And how is Liza doing at school, because she is clearly ahead of her peers?

Liza’s abilities were noticed in kindergarten. Therefore, when we were going to school, we were offered to take a test, after which gifted children get into a special class with a more complex curriculum.

⠀

And imagine, our Lisa, being a four-year-old child, received the highest score. In that test, in my opinion, there were 100 questions on logic, verbal and non-verbal thinking, mathematical problems. Very difficult questions that I would have difficulty answering myself.

Then we moved from New York to Memphis, and it so happened that Lisa ended up in a regular school. We saw how bored and uninteresting she was, because she already knew everything that only passed there. Then my husband and I decided to find a suitable school for her.

⠀

Now Liza goes to a private school for girls. There is a very good and friendly atmosphere, just like you. There, too, they are engaged not only in education, but also in the all-round development of children.

⠀

-Thank you, we are trying very hard!

Tell me, how did this school react to Lisa’s abilities?

When they found out that Lisa was bilingual, they just clapped their hands. Schools, colleges and universities fight for such children. After all, the more capable students they produce, the higher their rating.

⠀

We are happy with the new school and Lisa likes it. They have so many things there, they even have a ballet and a theater studio.

How much time does Lisa spend at school?

Lisa studies from 8 am to 3 pm. She gets a full-time job, and she also needs to do her homework after school. So we do not load it additionally yet. Only now I’m thinking of sending it in Chinese. I’m sure she’ll make it.

⠀

-We don’t even doubt that we can do it!

Tell us, what are Lisa’s hobbies? What does she love the most?

Lisa, like all children, tries herself in everything. It’s just that everything is easier for her than for others. Now, in addition to languages, she is dancing, taking piano lessons and drawing.

And I think it’s important to try everything right now. Since children do not know their limits, they do not understand what is difficult and do not think that they cannot do something.

⠀

– Yes, it is.

Tell me, did Liza want to study Russian herself, or was it more your initiative?

As I have already said, Lisa began to show interest in reading very early, and, of course, we began to help her.

⠀

But it’s not just about interest. First of all, we want a good future for our children. After all, for those who know different languages, all the doors in life are open. Such people will always be one step ahead when entering universities and when getting a job.

We also want our daughters to never have any difficulties because of the language, so that when they come to Russia they can communicate freely with their relatives.

⠀

For me, this is an urgent question, since I myself once lost English and therefore still experience difficulties here.

⠀

-We understand, but we can catch up!

What books did Lisa start reading after she learned?

Marina: Liza has never read simple children’s books like “Fly-Tsokotukha”. She was not interested. She immediately moved on to more serious works. For example, Bazhov’s “Malachite Box”.

⠀

– Yes, the language of presentation is not easy there. Smart Lisa.

What stage are you in at Kidskey now? How is Lisa doing?

To be honest, I don’t know where we are. Lisa works on her own. I completely trust my daughter and our teacher and I know that they are doing well.

⠀

We love our teacher Larisa very much and we take this opportunity to say hello to her.

⠀

As for success, I am very pleased that Lisa consolidates everything she already knows. She has already learned to observe the red line.

In addition to your activities, we also do our own. I give Lisa topics and she writes short stories of 5-7 sentences, and we also read 10 pages of Russian text every day. Everything is going great and I’m happy with everything.

⠀

But I would really like to go further with you after Liza completes the entire course. After all, learning the Russian language is a lifelong process and you can’t stop!

Read an interview with our students’ parents here:

Mom, we live in America! Who needs Russian here?!

One wrong step and you can forever discourage the desire to learn!

No language is ever superfluous

Happiness is knowing that your child is doing well
