Sandy Gouldthorp
Woodlands Sunbury
Our family have been extremely happy with Woodlands. The staff and management create a wonderful learning environment and our son has thrived there. He developed a love of learning from his teacher and all the educators there. They provide wonderful service and their systems are easy to use and keep parents informed. Highly recommend!
Libby Brook
Woodlands Sunbury
As a mother of a child who has a rare chromosome deletion, I needed to find a childcare provider who would ensure my daughter was safe and well looked after at all times. The educators and staff at woodlands have done exactly that. My daughter started at woodlands not eating a variety of foods, not speaking many words and just well behind her development. In 7 months shes now eating everything that’s served can speak super well and is hitting her milestones and that’s the work of woodlands and their staff. I couldn’t thank them enough for all their help with my daughter.
Kira Stemm
Woodlands Truganina
Woodlands and its a great childcare centre. We appreciate the importance they put on education and learning, as well as routine. The staff are all very friendly, and care for our child, and always address our concerns. The facility is new and clean which is important for us. Also their daily price is very reasonable. We highly recommend this childcare for families.

Parent Reviews
Zhong Meifang, parent of Lucas Lau (N1), Mulberry Learning @ Marymount
“My boy is happy being taught by Lai Laoshi! I can feel her passion and patience with the kids which is very important. In general, all staff are friendly and helpful. I greatly appreciate that all staff are very detailed with every kid during the daily hygiene check. I am also impressed that all teachers take the effort to remember the kids’ names of other classes.”
Regina Chow, parent of Rhapsody Ong (N1), Mulberry Learning @ Jurong East
“My mind was set on Mulberry Learning the moment I saw how much Rhapsody enjoyed the Reggio Emilia inspired play areas when she was 19 months old. Mulberry’s holistic approach to education is also a huge draw. The daily outdoor sports, weekly waterplay and library visits are just some of the activities that she absolutely loves. I know I made the right choice because 6 months on, she still looks forward to seeing her teachers and friends everyday. Her caring and nurturing teachers always provide timely updates on Rhapsody’s developments. You can tell that everyone in the school, including the principal, is very hands-on and passionate about what they do, and that truly gives me the assurance that Rhapsody is in good hands. “
“My daughter had trauma from previous school, where she was scolded by a teacher. Recently, her trauma appeared again and she cried every day going to school. But, teachers Hui Na and Zhang Laoshi are very patient and worked together with us to slowly build my daughter’s confidence again. After one month, we observed vast improvement. Thank you very much for the partnership!”
“Ms Carol is a dedicated vice principal who is very loving and caring towards the children and is receptive towards parents’ feedback. Teachers of the branch are generally caring and attentive to children’s needs.”
Chew Chen Li, parent of Hannah Pua (K2) and Daniel Pua (N2), Mulberry Learning @ Alexandra
“Xu Lao Shi has been working tirelessly through the year to nurture the students under her care. She is very patient, and knows how to handle the children. She also has a good rapport with the children, and you can tell that she really cares for wants the best for the children. I think her attitude and positivity is highly commendable, and it also rubs off the children, who become interested and start to love the Chinese language.”
Lim Zi Rong, parent of Erica Lim (N1), Mulberry Learning @ Shenton Way
“Good mix of programmes for child to develop holistically, teachers put in a lot of hardwork and effort to make this happen. Kudos to the teachers, especially Teacher Vanitah. She cares a lot for the children and showers them with love. She is a teacher who puts in a lot of effort and hardwork into the children’s development and well being, very genuine and exceeds our expectations. With her, our child looks forward to school everyday and we know that she will be well taken care of as she learns and grow everyday.”

On the eve of each New Year, we have a tradition to go on a trip to some interesting place in the Moscow region. It was not without this in 2013, this time we were brought to one closed kindergarten in the forest outside the city. It ceased to function three years ago, but it has been preserved just fine.
This report in Russian
On December 28, when there was no snow in Moscow, and there was very little snow in the region, we decided to move out of the city. After a short trip by train and bus, my friend and I were on the spot. Having overcome the order of the fallen fence, we went to one of the closed buildings. And soon they were inside. What is a place? This is a kindergarten, where children were previously taken from Moscow to relax in nature. I think this is a great alternative to stuffy Moscow. However, alas, then something went wrong, funding was reduced, or a shortage of children – and the institution turned out to be closed. However, it was not completely abandoned, but simply sealed and mothballed. Right with empty children’s rooms, toys and cabinets.
1. One of the most interesting rooms is the children’s playroom. Many toys (cars, balls) and a recreation area with soft chairs have been preserved here.
2. The next room used to be a sleeping room.
3. And here we found a piano in good condition.
4. Everywhere there are children’s chairs, tables, in some places children’s drawings are scattered.
5. But in general, very clean, everything is neat and even, as if everything was closed just yesterday.
6. Bathroom.
7. I liked these toy cars so much that I even wanted to drive them)
8. But in the west wing we found a cool toy TV with legs. Something new.
9. Let’s take a walk through the other rooms and see what else we can find here.
10. Tablets with the heroes of the famous fairy tale.
11.
12. By the way, the kindergarten is notable for its expensive wooden window frames!
13. Interference on the air.
14. But let’s go outside, it’s rather gloomy here. There are many fallen trees around – the mass death of trees from the typographer beetle.
15. And from the main facade the building looks like this – traces of repairs and a replaced roof are visible. The hull is almost in excellent condition, it’s a pity that nobody needs it idle.
16. But the sign on the main gate reminds us of the times of the USSR. Kindergarten Frunze RONO.
But it’s time for us to go back to Moscow and prepare for the New Year.
P.S. And for those who want to see my travels and adventures in real time, I suggest adding me to Instagram;)
I will be very happy to make new friends and readers on LiveJournal! Be friends;)

Kindergarten in the forest? – KP.RU
Komsomolskaya Pravda
July 7, 2004 1:00
The older generation of Minskers still remembers the kids going out of town for the whole summer
The older generation of Minsk residents still remembers the kids leaving the city for the whole summer
Now it will seem strange and incomprehensible: “a kindergarten went to the dacha”, but the generation over 40 remembers these field trips well.
Most of the metropolitan departmental kindergartens had their dachas outside the city, and with the onset of heat and summer, preschool children left the city and became summer residents.
The best places were chosen for summer cottages. The dachas of the kindergartens of the tractor and automobile plants were not just anywhere, but in Raubichi, which is very prestigious in modern times. In warm weather, it was allowed to swim, and then – “air baths”, and, lying on the mats, the children listened to fairy tales, poems by Chukovsky, Marshak, Mikhalkov and Barto, swayed measuredly in hammocks, which are now not found in stores. The territory of the dachas was fully prepared for the summer season: sandboxes, slides, carousels and swings, on which one wanted to swing “up to the sky”.
Summer gardens in nature looked very much like pioneer camps, only the “contingent” was much younger. So the teachers and nannies had much more problems with them. Nothing has passed at all – some 10 years after the Great Patriotic War, and outside the city in picturesque places they took summer cottages for small vacationers. It was necessary to provide for everything: to prepare bedrooms and playrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, outbuildings and premises, a first-aid post, housing for all staff. And also the delivery of products, furniture, bed linen, dishes, toys, and so on, so on and so forth …
The most amazing thing is that they did and succeeded. It was a tradition to go to summer cottages in the summer.
At that far from easy time in kindergartens and nurseries, children even changed into their “kindergarten clothes”. For boys – shirts and short pants with a bib and cross straps, for girls – dresses. There was a lot of trouble with dressing up (at that time there were no tights and diapers) – the guys wore stockings. The stockings were held on special elastic bands with fasteners, and the elastic bands were sewn to the “bra” – a short T-shirt. Children were taught to cope with changing clothes on their own, to help each other. And this whole “contingent” with drawstring bags and embroidered on them with a “stalk” the names of small owners, in panama hats and skullcaps (for some reason they were in fashion since pre-war times, and both adults and children wore them in the summer) with nets, poured into a clearing . ..
Red, yellow, white nets were sold in GUM in the department of children’s toys. Now it’s hard to understand why there were nets, besides, now they are not released as unnecessary. It’s just that in those days there were no computer games and “videos”, there were fewer different kinds of equipment, but even the city was full of butterflies, moths, dragonflies. With nets, everyone “hunted” for a peacock eye, and they treated lemon and white butterflies with black dots at the top of their wings with contempt, saying: “Again this nonsense!” Only now you won’t see this “nonsense” in the city, but it happened that butterflies flew into a trolleybus. And huge dragonflies crackled like helicopters (helicopters are designed in their likeness), thin and graceful, like top models, blue dragonflies flew near the water, and tiny blue moths looked like flower petals raised by the wind.
At the dacha, there is expanse even on the territory itself. This is where rakes and shovels come in handy. Together with adults, older children also planted currant and gooseberry bushes. There was also a vegetable garden, where the beds were weeded, they learned to distinguish weeds from carrots or dill, and then everyone ran to the beds with strawberries to see if the barrel of the berries turned red. Oh, I wish she had matured! (The story “Turnip” by the children’s writer Nosov is about those very “children’s garden” country gardens). With pleasure, they planted flowers, broke up front gardens and those very flower beds lined obliquely with white brick, without which every yard was once unthinkable, and even more so in school and kindergarten. Educators taught the kids to distinguish between wild herbs and flowers, talked about their healing properties. If you fell – and then all the guys walked with abrasions on their knees – then instead of iodine, you could attach a piece of a plantain leaf, and he, like a bactericidal plaster, stopped the blood and tightened the wound. This is from there, since those childhood times, our generation knows about the properties of yarrow and wormwood (by the way, brooms were made from it and the yard was swept). At the same time there were cleaning and antibacterial treatment.
And beyond the territory there is a forest, where the kids were picking bouquets of flowers to decorate the rooms and, puffing, bent down and bowed to each berry, picking strawberries and blueberries in mugs. The berries were then eaten for dessert after dinner. They also collected the most beautiful flowers, strawberry twigs with berries, tree leaves, put them between the pages of a school notebook, and on top – a thick press book. Dried flowers and leaves were then carefully sewn with threads into a sketchbook. And they brought home a “herbarium” – a piece of summer, which was pleasing to the eye in winter.
On Sunday my parents came with bags of sweets: chocolate and “pillows” – the cheapest caramel with marmalade. And what a sweet afternoon nap on the open terraces. So it remained from a distant childhood: mountainous terrain, tall pines, butterflies, dragonflies, bare tanned legs in sandals and lots and lots of sun . ..
Sasha VARLAMOV, designer
– Kindergarten was a tragedy for me! I stood at the bars all day, waiting for my parents to come and take me away. I have always been a very domestic child. From trips to the country, there were memories of the sun and a public toilet, dirty and smelling of bleach. And we were also forced to play football – like it or not, play! And in the dining room, comrades spit in compote – they “marked” theirs so that no one would drink. In general, from these memories only goosebumps …
Natalia MASHEROVA, deputy of the House of Representatives
– I never went to kindergarten, I spent all my summer holidays at my grandmother’s dacha, by the way, in the president’s homeland. Therefore, I know how to milk a cow and reap with a sickle. I still have a scar on my leg!
Alexander TIKHANOVYCH, singer
– I remember very well how I went to kindergarten near the opera house! We were taken “to the dacha” in Zhdanovichi, where there was a camp for a kindergarten and a nursery group. The children were given nets, and we all chased butterflies, it was a lot of fun. I also remember walking in pairs by the handles along the pond and sunbathing, sleeping on cots on the veranda. I slept between two girls. And once I was bitten by a bee, I slapped it right on my arm, and because of the sting, my arm swelled up. But I didn’t cry because I felt guilty.
Eleonora Ezerskaya, socialite
– I am a happy person. My sister and I had nannies, and I have never been to a kindergarten, summer camp or country house. My mother did not work, she devoted her whole life to us. And my sister was once sent to this camp, but was taken away after a week.

PROTECT THE FOREST FROM FIRE – MB Preschool “Kindergarten No. 253”
Home > For You Parents > Safety > KEEP THE FOREST FROM FIRE
8 out of 10 forest fires in Russia are human-caused. And although everyone knows that uncontrolled burning of dry grass carried out by the population, unextinguished bonfires, matches and cigarette butts thrown in the forest, from the window of a moving train or a passing car are the main sources of fires, the careless handling of fire by people continues to be the main cause of forest fires. disasters.
The transition of uncontrolled grass fires on agricultural land into forests is the main cause of spring forest fires.
“Blessed” and “All-revitalizing” – this is how the people call Spring. However, with the advent of spring days, the fire season begins in the forests of Russia and in the territories adjacent to forests, when all living things die in the fire of grass and forest fires. The transition of uncontrolled fire from grass burns on agricultural land to the forest is the main cause of spring forest fires. There is a persistent myth among the people that burning last year’s grass accelerates the growth of young grass. But for millions of years, the active growth of grass with the advent of spring occurred without human grass burning. Dry grass is not an obstacle for young shoots, the rapid decomposition of grass by worms and soil microorganisms in spring turns it into the most valuable humus (humus). By burning dry grass, people disrupt the natural process of humus formation and thereby impoverish soil fertility. Grass burns weaken the growth of plants, therefore, after the burns, the most unpretentious grasses survive and are the first to start growing. weeds of various kinds. During fires, many insects die, fires cause the death of clutches and nesting sites of birds, because for many, the nesting period begins already in April, i.e. during the period of active burning of dry grass by people. When grass is set on fire, all useful soil microorganisms also die, including those that help plants resist diseases. In a strong grass fire, practically all mammals living in dry grass or on the surface of the soil die from fire or suffocate in smoke.
During fires, people die and lose their homes, natural resources senselessly perish, material values, smog is formed, hanging over cities and villages for days, and sometimes for weeks, from which there is no escape.
The forest is the basis of the ecological, economic and social stability of every person.
Forest is the main source of oxygen used by a huge army of modern technology for burning fuel, processing minerals, producing heat, electricity, all goods and services.
The forest is the basis for the existence of life on Earth. We are so accustomed to this phrase that often we do not think about its multifaceted meaning. The forest is the basis of the existence of every person, as the main source of free oxygen in the atmosphere of our earth. The oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis by forest plants is used in the operation of all types of transport and various technical systems, the number of which is constantly increasing. And the area of forests producing oxygen is steadily declining due to deforestation and forest fires.
In order to protect forests from fires in the period from the day the snow cover melts until stable rainy autumn weather is established or snow cover is formed, it is prohibited: – to throw burning matches, cigarette butts, smoldering rags into the forest; – make a fire in thickets and coniferous young growth, under low-hanging crowns of trees; – leave spontaneously combustible material in the forest, glassware, which in sunny weather can focus the sun’s beam and ignite dry vegetation; – burn dry grass in forest glades, in gardens, in fields, under trees; – set fire to reeds; – make a fire in windy weather and leave it unattended; – leave the fire burning after leaving the parking lot.
Violation of fire safety rules in forests provides for administrative and criminal liability in accordance with Articles 8.32 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation and Article 261 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

We have been caring for children in the Alexandria – Mount Vernon, Virginia area since 1991. Our childcare center provides a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for infants through 12 years of age. We are dedicated to teaching children values such as respect of self and others, honesty, forgiveness, and an appreciation for learning in order to foster character development and a positive self-esteem, and to enhance their overall social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Contact Capital Kids today for more information.
We take very seriously the care and well-being of the children with which we are entrusted. Their safety is our primary concern, followed by providing them with the love and nurturing that all children need. We consider ourselves a loving extension of your family.
Our Philosophy
We view each child as a unique and special person with his or her own pattern and timing of growth. As caregivers we are devoted to providing a wealth of opportunities for discoveries, stimulating experiences, problem solving, and accomplishments. Our philosophy is based on the belief that all areas of a child’s development (social, emotional, physical, and cognitive) are integrated.
We believe that optimal development in all areas is derived from a positive, supportive, and individualized relationship with adults. Our curriculum encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and learning materials, and to pursue their own interests as unique individuals in their community and in their world.
Baby skin care case
Baby care products vary in composition and function. The main purpose of cosmetics for babies is to soften, moisturize, soothe and protect hypersensitive skin. Since the epidermis of babies differs significantly in its anatomical and physiological features, special care will also be required for it. We tell you how to choose a skin care product for a newborn.
Baby skin features
After birth, the baby’s skin continues to develop and only by the age of 6 does it become similar to the skin of an adult. Let’s analyze the main features of the skin of newborns:
In a baby, the skin consists of only 3 layers: basal, spiny and horny (in an adult – from 5 layers).
The skin of a newborn has a much larger surface area than that of adults, and the surface layer of the skin is much thinner and more easily injured.
The sebaceous and sweat glands in infants are formed, but not active enough, so the hydro-lipid layer and the protective functions of the skin are weakened.
The skin has a higher permeability, due to which it loses moisture and heat more actively.
At birth, the pH of the skin is neutral, and only by 3 months it becomes acidic, increasing the protective functions of the epidermis.
The very low content of the protective pigment melanin in the skin of babies increases the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Newborn baby skin care
From the first days of life, the epidermis adapts to the environment, therefore it is especially vulnerable to the influence of its external stimuli. He can react to any changes, whether it be changes in temperature or humidity, a change in nutrition or means for washing clothes, with dryness, redness, rash, and the appearance of diaper rash. Most often, the skin responds with increased sensitivity to the components in the composition of children’s cosmetics for care.
How to choose baby skin care products
Baby skin does not require complex multi-stage rituals, it will be enough to regularly cleanse, moisturize and protect the epidermis. Choose proven, hypoallergenic formulas that are dermatologically and pediatrically tested and scientifically proven to work. Such funds can be bought at pharmacies or specialized stores.
When choosing baby skin care products, try to avoid some ingredients: parabens (preservatives), ethylene oxide (stabilizer), phenoxyethanol (preservative and antiseptic) and sodium hydroxide (acid corrector). Give preference to formulas without fragrances and fragrances, as some of them can be strong allergens.
1. Cleansing is the first and main stage of skin care for a child from the first days of his life, which should be given special attention. Remember that the baby’s thin and sensitive skin can suffer with frequent water procedures, react to hard, too cold (less than 34 degrees) or hot (more than 37 degrees) water and the allergenic composition of bathing cosmetics.
Bathe your baby daily, but use cleansers 1-2 times a week. For gentle cleansing, choose products with “soft” formulas without alkali. As a gentle cleansing, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Gel Protective Shower Gel is suitable. The gel gently cleanses, protects and soothes the sensitive epidermis of the child, and also restores its natural protective barrier. The unique Aqua Posae Filiformis complex in the composition of the product restores the skin microbiome. Can be used as a baby shampoo and as daily intimate hygiene when changing diapers.
2. Hydration and protection is the second basic step in baby skin care. Look for a combination of moisturizing ingredients that prevent transepidermal moisture loss and firming, restoring the lipid barrier.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar baby milk for dry to very dry skin is based on niacinamide, La Roche-Posay thermal water and a combination of protective lipids. Light product is quickly absorbed, soothes and restores the sensitive skin of a newborn, reduces the feeling of dryness and tightness. Does not contain fragrances and parabens.
Keep your baby’s skin clean: change the diaper on time, carefully inspect areas in the folds to prevent diaper rash and diaper dermatitis. If redness or irritation occurs, use La Roche-Posay’s SOS remedy – Cicaplast Baume B5 multi-repair balm. The formula based on panthenol and madecassoside accelerates skin regeneration, effectively moisturizes, softens, and soothes dry, irritated areas.

Gratiot-Isabella RESD first in region to split employee child care costs through new state program
Holly Summerhill says she couldn’t be more grateful to her employer, Gratiot-Isabella RESD.
Not only does she love her job as a Mt. Pleasant High School paraprofessional, but her employer is also sharing child care costs for her infant son, Bennett.
“Full-time day care for Bennett would have cost more than our mortgage – over $700 a month,” says Summerhill, 25. “Thanks to the RESD and the Tri-Share program, we’re only paying one-third the cost. It’s really made a huge difference for our family.”
For too many working families, paying for child care is an obstacle to employment. The state launched the new MI Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Program in March in hopes of making child care more affordable for parents, while also helping businesses retain workforce talent.
With Tri-Share, child care costs are split equally between the state, eligible families, and their employers.
For example, an employee paying $9,000 in annual child-care services will now pay $3,000, the employer will cover $3,000, and the state of Michigan will cover $3,000. Participating employers will also receive a tax credit at the end of the year to mitigate the employer’s contributions.
Funded with a $1 million appropriation in the 2021 state budget, the program is operating in three regions of the state to start: the Great Lakes Bay Region (Isabella, Gratiot, Midland, Clare, Gladwin, Bay, Arenac, and Saginaw counties), as well as the Traverse City and Muskegon regions.
The bipartisan cost-sharing program is the first of its kind in Michigan.
“Every parent in Michigan deserves access to quality, safe, and affordable child care, and Tri-Share brings us one step closer to achieving that goal,” says Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
State labor officials say finding child care has been an issue in Michigan for years. Now 18 months into the pandemic, many child care centers have closed or are struggling to hire qualified caregivers.
Bennett Paksi loves going to day care at Children’s Discovery Academy. The academy partnered in 2020 with the Gratiot-Isabella RESD, St. Louis Public Schools and Masonic Pathways to bring affordable licensed child care to their employees. Across Michigan, 44% of families live in a child care desert. A child care desert is any census tract with more than 50 children under age 5 that contains either no child care providers or so few options that there are more than three times as many children as licensed child care slots.
All this makes it more difficult for working parents to find affordable child care to rejoin – or remain – in the workforce. The impact is even greater among women, who disproportionately carry the family responsibility for child care.
That labor shortage is, in turn, affecting Michigan’s economic recovery.
A coalition of business and advocacy leaders, led by the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce and state Rep. Greg VanWoerkom, R-Norton Shores, championed funding for the pilot program.
“It is a priority of mine to find innovative ideas in addressing affordable and accessible childcare. That is why I am proud to have been a part of an incredible effort to introduce this pilot program,” says VanWoerkom.
The MI Tri-Share Child Care program addresses the issue of affordability head-on by bringing employers and the state to the table together as direct stakeholders, says Cheryl Bergman, CEO of the Michigan Women’s Commission (MWC), which is administering Tri-Share.
COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the challenges working mothers faced well before there was a global pandemic, says Shannon Garrett, MWC’s chief strategy officer.
“Michigan’s mothers of color, in particular, have long been sounding an alarm about the unsustainable balance required to work frontline and essential jobs without the availability of flexible, safe, and affordable child care options,” says Garrett.
Tri-Share is designed to help working families, also known as ALICE households – Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The 2021 ALICE Report found 38% of Michigan households still struggled to make ends meet in 2019, prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
Employees eligible to participate in the Tri-Share pilot must be employed by a participating employer, have an income above 150% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) and below 250% FPL, and not otherwise be eligible for the Child Development and Care Program (commonly called the state child care subsidy).
“Many of these families that would qualify for Tri-Share are working their butts off to make ends meet,” says Rich VanTol, supervisor of School-Home-Community Partnerships/Early Childhood Education at Bay-Arenac ISD. “But when child care costs $10,000 a year per child, many end up working just to pay for child care.”
Martin Combs, Associate Superintendent for Special Services at Gratiot-Isabella RESD. The Gratiot-Isabella RESD (GIRESD) Board of Education decided to join the Tri-Share pilot program to attract and retain quality workers, says Martin Combs, GIRESD associate superintendent for special services.
“We believe this will improve child care opportunities all across the Great Lakes Bay Region,” says Combs. “We strongly encourage other businesses to join us in piloting this program.”
Participating employers must agree to identify and recruit eligible employees, provide employer portions of each participating employee’s child care costs, and maintain communication with the facilitator hub regarding each employee’s continued employment and eligibility.
The RESD has seen quite a bit of employee interest in the program.
Summerhill, who has worked with students with severe cognitive impairments at the RESD since 2017, says she and her fiancé, Julian Paksi, were thrilled to hear about the cost-sharing program. Their St. Louis home is just down the road from Bennett’s day care, Children’s Discovery Academy, which partnered in 2020 with the Gratiot-Isabella RESD, St. Louis Public Schools, and Masonic Pathways to bring affordable licensed child care opportunities to their employees.
“It’s hard taking your child to day care. But it’s easier knowing my employer trusts a day care enough to put their employees’ kids there,” says Summerhill.
Thanks to Tri-Share, Summerhill’s portion is $63 per week, versus the full price of $190.
“I’m very thankful the RESD has been willing to do this for their employees,” she says. “This is a great way for employers to take care of their staff and a small price to pay in the long run for a happy employee. ”

Isabella grapes – table-technical variety. It has a wide range of applications: wine, juices are made from berries, they are used as raw materials for preparations, they are consumed fresh.
Breeding history
An ancient Isabella grape variety discovered in North America in 1816. He was seen by breeder William Prince in the garden of the Gibbs family. In honor of the mistress of the house, Isabella, the grapes were named.
The variety was formed naturally by cross-pollination of local grapes Vytis Labruska and the European variety Vytis Vinifera.
It immediately became widespread in many countries of the world. In the 20th century, Isabella grapes were widely used in the Soviet Union: they grew it in summer cottages, decorated arbors and arches with it. Despite the fact that since then many varieties of the crop have been bred by breeders, it continues to be cultivated in various climatic zones.
Description
Grape forms long, fast growing vines. Having reached 3-4 years of age, the variety grows 4-meter shoots. The leaves are large, three-lobed. From the inside they are silver-green, strongly pubescent, from above – smooth, dark green.
2-5 large-fruited clusters are formed on the shoot. The weight of the bunches is 200-250 grams, but some of them increase their mass up to 1. 5 kilograms; the shape is an inverted cone. The berries are round, their color is dark blue, almost purple. Their skin is dense, covered with a bluish bloom.
Ripening period
The culture belongs to late-ripening varieties: the vegetation period lasts 5-6 months. Grape brushes ripen in October. The signal that the time has come to harvest is the aroma of nutmeg, spreading through the garden plot. The first crop is harvested 3-4 years after planting the vines.
Nutritional value
The taste of berries is sweet and sour. The peel is easily separated from the pulp, inside which there is a small amount of seeds. The sugar content of fruits reaches 16-18 percent, the calorie content in 100 grams is 65 Kcal. They contain a large number of useful substances necessary for the human body.
Additional information. In some European countries, wine from Isabella grapes is prohibited for production and import due to the high content of menthol alcohol in it.
Isabella grape load on the bush. Spraying
Although the Isabella grape variety is resistant to many pests and diseases, there is a risk of infection if not properly cared for. At home, you can spray with a soda solution. To do this, use the following recipe:0003
warm water – 10 l;
table salt – 120 g;
baking soda – 25 g.
But if you use this solution alone, it will not be able to create a complete protection against pests. A positive result can be achieved only if it is used in combination with stronger drugs, which include:
Bordeaux liquid;
Topaz;
Shavit;
Falcon;
Paracelsus.

Grows without grafting on deep, sandy or sandy loamy soils. Resistant to frost, mildew and oidium. Phylloxera resistance on clay soils is insufficient. Sensitive to the content of lime in the soil. A very productive variety. Used in the past in winemaking, can also be used as a rootstock. Due to the low quality of the resulting wine, it is now processed into grape juice and brandy.
Lydia and Isabella grapes. When to harvest Lydia grapes?
Harvesting takes place approximately 145 days after the first ovaries appear. Usually, the active harvest of Lydia grapes occurs at the end of August or at the very beginning of September. From one bush you can get up to 35 kilograms of excellent fruits, if you follow all the rules of agricultural technology and, of course, all the rules and regulations for plant care. The peculiarity of the variety is also that ripe berries can crumble very easily. This is a great difficulty, so it is best to produce brushes in dry and, preferably, in calm weather, so that the berries simply do not crumble to the ground.
When brushes are cut, they should be carefully examined. Berries that are damaged are best set aside immediately. The crop is harvested in containers in which holes are made so that the harvested crop is ventilated. In a box, you can collect no more than 13 kilograms of fruit. If there are more of them in the container, then the berries can be wrinkled and, accordingly, in this form they can deteriorate much faster, and this is a big drawback. One of the advantages of the Lydia grape variety is that it can be consumed both fresh and preserved. The variety is excellent for making grape jam or jams, as well as berry compotes or fruit drinks.
It is best to prune the bush in the second year of growth, and do this at least three times during the whole season. In the spring, sanitary pruning of Lydia grapes is carried out – dry, damaged and unviable shoots are removed. In the summer, the procedure is carried out in order to thin out the bush and make it more accurate. In addition, pruning is another step in preparing the grapes for wintering. It is worth noting that Lydia grapes have a frost resistance higher than many other varieties, but it is still better to use additional shelter, especially for young seedlings, it will not be superfluous at all.
How to prune isabella grapes in spring. Rules for pruning grapes
In order to ensure the fruiting function of a grape bush, it is left with a pair of annual vines growing on a two-year-old plant. The cut points should be left in one place, on the inside. To this end, the processes should be on the outside from the middle of the growth of the bush and below the tendrils. Incorrectly placed notches will prevent the juice from flowing through the grapes. Shoots that are one year old or more are removed and half a centimeter shoots are left at the cut points. The size of the left parts is important, as it will affect the growth of the bush and its recovery. The place of cutting of plots that have been growing on a bush for many years should be perpendicular to the axis.
Pruning a year old vine is done between the knot a couple of centimeters from the top section. It is recommended to make an incision at an angle in order to correctly direct the current of juice along the vine. Particular attention is paid to pruning the plant, the territorial location of which exposes the bush to the threat of getting sick with various species diseases.
The Isabella grape plant does not tolerate pruning well and is unable to heal damaged areas on its own. Therefore, several principles should be followed:
The plant should be cleaned infrequently, but thoroughly.
It is important to leave bulges at the cut points, do not cut under the root.
Those varieties that are not covered for the winter are cleaned in the spring, the rest in the fall.
Isabella grapes after pruning
Do not make Isabella grapes cut up and down. Three cut points are enough for each arrow of grapes: one is for the vegetative area, the second is for pruning the vine. More complete pruning should be done before the vegetative period is reached.
Trimming, leaving a small bulge at the cut points, helps the healing process to improve and reduce the losses from the operation. The plant is not capable of healing wounds, it is not a tree, but a grape bush. Keep this in mind when it comes to pruning.
The pruning period depends on the climatic conditions of the region, if in the northern parts it is correct to clean the Isabella bush in the fall, then in the south it is better in the spring, although it is also possible in the fall. But the circumcised Isabella in the south during the autumn period will be less adapted to survive the winter cold.
If the bush has been covered, it is better to prune after you have harvested. With both pruning and cover, the timing must be right so that the plant does not over-rot in the cover. But it didn’t get too cold either.
Properly shaped Isabella bush helps to avoid pruning in the summer, since everything has been done before.
Harvest will be larger on strong growing vineyard bushes. The harvest will not be so much, but the berries will have an impressive size.
You should assess the situation reasonably and be aware that large clusters on dense bushes will require you to spend a lot of physical labor and time to care for the plant. But this can be prevented by growing an average Isabella bush. In summer, the main work is to remove excess shoots and bunches of grapes.
Proper pruning in spring should be carried out by timely control of the flow of flowering of planting material. If the inflorescences began to open, then the cleaning of the bush should not be done in the spring, but after harvesting the Isabella grape variety.
On which branches grapes bear fruit. What you need to know before forming a bush
Grapes – liana, in the wild lets out meter-long lashes, clinging to any support, most often to trees. Its main task is to reach for the sun, accumulate nutrients, and give fruits for reproduction in the fall. Each cultivated bush on your site secretly dreams of growing up to ten meters up, hanging a few clusters somewhere under the roof. His plans do not include the obligation to supply you with a crop.
A healthy plant has a colossal power of regeneration, it can and should be cut ruthlessly, otherwise you will not get high yields – in a thickened bush the berries will become smaller, and only climb from a stepladder to get the tassels.
Remember, no pity – just a clear understanding of what you need from him.
Let’s take a closer look at the wood of your plant. Here you need to be able to distinguish its three types: summer, biennial and perennial shoots. Summer – green, bearing leaves, flowers, brushes. Biennial – vines, chocolate shade, summer shoots grow from them with a harvest. Perennial – branches, dark, bark often fringed. Branches accumulate nutrients for laying the future crop. No special fruit twigs, like apple trees. Any green shoot can equally well play both a vegetative and fruitful role. It all depends on the formation.
Now let’s deal with what you have. Do you have cold winters? How much space can you devote to a vineyard? Do you need a vine for aesthetics or purely for gastronomic purposes? The time has come to understand all the nuances of the formation.
Summer pruning of Isabella grapes. How to prune grapes before flowering?
After the spring pruning, the gardener’s attention to the grape bushes should not weaken, because along with the fruiting eyes, fat shoots coming from the old parts of the vine or from the base of the shoots also grow. When and how to prune grapes in the summer from unnecessary shoots at this stage? A fragment of grapes is carried out in the last decade of May or early summer, when new green shoots reach a length of up to 15–20 cm and are easy to remove.
With proper breaking of shoots on a bush and pruning of grapes in summer, it is possible to achieve:
the presence on each plant of the number of shoots corresponding to the strength of the bush;
a good start for the full maturation of the shoots and the laying of a plentiful crop;
preservation of crops from grape diseases and pest attacks;
access of air and sun to the ovary;
redirection of nutrition from parasitic shoots to brushes;
the correct formation of a bush for the next year.
If the tops do not break out in time, they develop at the expense of nutrients, which at this time are essential for flowering and the formation of the ovary. In addition, fatty shoots shade the bush, prevent the penetration of air and sunlight into the crown, and even prevent the formation of future berries.
In parallel, when pruning grapes in July or earlier, remove wild shoots growing from the underground part of the bush, but leave cultivated shoots without inflorescences if they are required in the future for the formation of grapes. The stronger the plant, the more shoots left.
What can be prepared from Isabella grapes: 10 options for adults and children

WORK WORK WORK WORLE grapes, whose homeland is the state of South Carolina, which successfully migrated to the Russian expanses. On the territory of Europe, the species took root as early as the 17th century, and domestic winegrowers have already inherited from Europeans many rules and tricks for growing and caring for Isabella.
The Isabella grape, whose description includes a number of features, has become known throughout the world for its characteristics. It belongs to table-technical varieties and, accordingly, manifests itself better in juices and wines than fresh. The bush can please the gardener with both generous fruits and an aesthetic appearance, and therefore it is quite popular to grow a small amount of vines as a decoration of the land.
Due to the increased vegetation, the bush is often used as a rootstock for less weak varieties. Isabella today actively grows in temperate climates around the world, but the most planted are countries such as Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Russia, in particular, the Moscow region.
The reason why this species is so fond of countries with seasonal cooling is its frost resistance. According to practical experience, in its original form it is intended for fruiting in cold and damp. For all gardeners living in the above territories, it will be a big plus that such a bush takes moisture better than drought. Although this culture is prone to decay and requires ventilation, yet an abundance of moisture will only betray its strength.
An important moment of cultivation is the ripening of berries. This happens when other species have already served their gardener and hibernated until the next season. For the first fruiting from the moment the buds ripen, it will take no more than 180 days. During this period, the watery fruit acquires up to 80% moisture, which makes it an easy, attractive snack and dessert for any feast.

How and when the Isabella grape variety appeared:
Features of pruning Isabella grapes in autumn
Isabella grape variety appeared not as a result of the work of scientific breeders, but due to nature itself. Scientists have made the assumption that there was a crossing of varieties Vitis Vinifera (European variety) and Vitis Lambrusca at the time of cross-pollination.
The official name of the variety Isabella is Isabella Banskaya and has been popular for 2 centuries, both among professionals and amateur gardeners.
This variety was first encountered on the path of the American breeder William Prince on Long Island. He described this variety and derived a new one based on it – Isabella Pink, which in our country was called Lydia.
As for the Isabella variety, it has been cultivated in our country since the middle of the 20th century. He showed himself perfectly as a variety that always brings large yields, as a plant resistant to many different diseases and unpretentiousness in care. Thanks to all these qualities, winemakers from all over the country began to grow Isabella on their plantations, for the manufacture of juices or brandy. Wine is not made from the berries of Isabella White, due to the fact that it turns out to be of poor quality.
At the moment, Isabella began to be grown in almost every corner of our vast country. It is also very popular in such countries as Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan. On the territory of these countries, the variety is grown both for private use in small areas, and for industrial use in large areas, in order to use the fruits for the production of wines.
Isabella prefers to grow in a temperate subtropical climate. Unlike other varieties, Isabella is a frost-resistant plant, which allows it to be grown throughout Russia.
Interesting fact: Toward the end of the 20th century, the European Union decided to impose a ban on the production of wines from Isabella grapes, due to the high content of methanol in it. Some time later, it was proved that the earlier conclusions were erroneous, but this did not change the attitude of the Europeans towards this variety.
Planting and care
Planting
How to make Isabella compote at home
Seedlings are rooted cuttings. Planting material is divided into elite and first-class. The first has about 5 roots of identical thickness and a mature growth of 25 cm. First-class – 4 roots and 20 cm of the same indicator.
During landing, a pit is prepared for each of them. Drainage is laid out at its bottom (it can be expanded clay, coarse sand or stones), then wood ash comes, fertilizer is superphosphate, and at the end it is sprinkled with earth. Isabella grapes require a place that is well warmed by the sun and closed from the wind. Wetlands or areas with a close location of groundwater will not work.
It is better not to carry out such a process later, as the plant will need time to build up the root system. Landing is also allowed in the spring. For this, the first or second half of May is suitable. The choice of the period depends on the weather conditions.
It is not recommended to plant seedlings near the fence, but in the future it is better to let the grown vine along it. Often they use special supports with a rope stretched between them. They are exhibited at a distance of about 3 m. At the same time, the lower vine recedes from the ground to a height of up to 1 meter, and the upper one – by 1.5-2 m.
It is important to know that if seedlings at the initial stage of growth are at home or in a greenhouse, then when they are planted in open ground, it is necessary to create partial shade. This is required to eliminate the likelihood of burns of grape leaves.
This variety has a ripening period of 180 days.
Formation of vines
Formation of vines is necessary during the second season of the crop in the open field. Initially, 7-8 shoots are left on it, which are smoothly bent and fixed to the trellis in a horizontal position. As the growth of shoots increases to the next level of the wire, they are fixed to it, having previously placed a soft cloth to prevent chafing of the plant.
Necessary methods for caring for Isabella grapes:
watering,
cutting,
mulching,
winter shelter from the cold,
pest control.
For sandy soils, watering is carried out often, but in small proportions, and for clay soils, on the contrary, rarely, but plentifully. In both cases, slurry is supplied with water once a month.
Peat, hay, sawdust are used for these purposes.
Before the appearance of berries, fertilizing with mineral and organic fertilizers is carried out, the introduction of concentrated manure is completely excluded. The first introduction of elements useful for the plant is carried out in the spring. For this, carbamide or ammonium nitrate are suitable. 12 days before flowering, it is recommended to feed the vineyard with an infusion of dandelions, nettles or bird droppings.
Pruning
Pruning is required in autumn, after the leaves have dropped. At the same time, dead and diseased shoots are removed. The top of the bush is adjusted with a pruner at an angle of 90 degrees.
It is required to remove the growth by one third, and dead shoots by two thirds. During the summer, the crop is surveyed to remove unwanted foliage to maintain proper aeration
It is important to thin out the bunches in the vineyard. If they do not touch, then the harvest will be greater.
The recommended norm for the number of clusters on one adult plant is 30-35 pieces.
Pest prophylaxis
Pest prophylaxis is carried out with slaked lime. For the winter, Isabella needs to be bent down and placed in specially dug trenches, and then sprinkled with earth and peat. On top of this, an air-permeable covering material is placed.
Spruce or pine spruce branches and wooden shields will reliably protect the plant from low temperatures. In winter, such a structure is swept with snow, which serves as even more protection for it.
In the spring, the vineyard should not be opened before the time when the temperature is finally set to at least 5 degrees. If at the same time the threat of frost continues to persist, then holes are made in the covering material so that the plant gradually gets used to such a temperature regime. A couple of days before the onset of cold weather, vines are recommended to be treated with a solution of Epin. The term of their protective action is up to 10 days.
Benefits and harms of grapes Isabella
Lydia grape variety
Isabella grapes are used for making wine, making tasty dark juice, compotes and jams. Some even know how to make moonshine. You can eat raw berries. Wine made from dark Isabella grapes has one drawback. If it is stored for more than 3 years, it acquires a distinct smell of rot. It does not matter whether the wine is made at home or at the factory.
The variety has many useful properties, surpasses other varieties in some indicators. For example, leaflets contain tannins, high levels of organic matter, vitamins and minerals. Berries have a lot more antioxidants and anthocyanins than other varieties. Clusters also contain iron, potassium, vitamin C in high concentrations. Here are a number of uses for Isabella:
To heal wounds and abrasions, apply leaflets to the sore spot
Grape leaf reduces fever well when placed on the forehead, neck, heels, armpits
Leaf decoction has expectorant and antiseptic properties, suitable for gargling with sore throats, it is recommended for coughs and colds
Foliage increases blood clotting, a decoction is often used for nosebleeds (instilled into the nose)
Antioxidants and anthocyanins of berries protect cells from free radicals, reduce the risk of oncology
Vitamins and minerals boost immunity, serve to prevent colds
Grapes are often used to treat anemia, they contain more iron than pomegranates
There are also benefits for the heart, potassium has a positive effect on myocardial function
Some substances in the composition of berries improve blood rheology, preventing increased clotting and the formation of blood clots
Grapes perfectly cleanse the body of toxic substances.
In addition, it is recommended to eat at least 100 grams of berries per day. Most of the nutrients are in the bones and peel, therefore it is recommended to eat whole berries. You can make jam for the winter by rubbing whole fruits with sugar without boiling. It must be stored in the refrigerator. It is not advised to eat Isabella for patients with diabetes mellitus, stomach ulcers, hemophilia
With caution, grapes should be consumed by people who have high acidity, stomatitis, and intestinal problems. Organic acids adversely affect tooth enamel, so it is better to drink juice through a straw
Autumn planting – basic rules
In order for a bush to bear generous and healthy fruits, the most important rules for care and cultivation must be followed at each stage of its vegetation.
Planting in autumn includes a number of procedures and subsequent preventive maintenance, which are recognized by experienced summer residents and winegrowers. First of all, for planting, you need to determine a good piece of land. It should be a hill or just an area open to the heat of the sun, preferably remote from high fences
It is important to choose a place filed from groundwater, where air circulates freely and does not stagnate.
According to experts, autumn is the best period for planting grapes, because during the winter the root system and the soil near the bush exchange their substances and strengthen each other. This will subsequently significantly improve the harvest, and already in late September – early October, the fragrant bush will give the summer resident its fruits.
Isabella large-fruited or its other variety is bred in the same way: the size of the hole for the seedling should be 80x80x80 cm with a small layer of drainage cover in the form of crushed stone. After installing the support peg, all this is covered with a small layer of earth, then 3 buckets of compost, 300 grams of superphosphates and a certain amount of wood ash must be added. Everything is abundantly moistened and sprinkled with earth to a third of the depth of the pit.
The first seedling is introduced and tied up near the support post, which must be sprinkled and compacted at the base
It is important that the branching point of the bush is above the ground and does not come into contact with it. After that, you need to water the bush with 1-2 liters of water, and fertilize the ground around it with humus
It is recommended to perform seating under a pre-prepared frame, on which the vine will later grow. Since the root system of this culture is quite developed, it should be seated at intervals of half a meter.
Description of grapes Isabella
This grape variety received its current name in 1816. His “godfather” was the Brooklyn gardener William Price, who so immortalized the name of his friend’s wife – the first beauty of Dorchester (North Carolina) – Isabella Gibbs.
The Isabella grape variety stands out for its tall, dense bushes, making it attractive to landscape designers. At first, he is not happy with the growth rate. However, 3 years after planting, its branches of the plant lengthen annually by 3–4 meters. Young shoots are greenish-crimson in color, while the old vine remains grey-brown.
Dark green three-lobed vine leaves with a gray-white color on the reverse side. By autumn, Isabella’s foliage turns golden.
Cylindrical, inverted cone shaped clusters are not characterized by a high density of berries. With an average weight of 200 to 250 g, in especially fruitful years, the mass of individual specimens exceeds 2 kg. Each shoot carries an average of 3 bunches.
With a diameter of around 18 mm, the mass of Isabella berries reaches 3 g. Dark blue oval-shaped grape fruits are distinguished by juicy pulp with rare seeds. A significant sugar content (15.4–18%), as well as an original sour-sweet aftertaste, make the variety attractive to winemakers. The period between flowering and harvesting takes about six months.
Isabella grapes are common in the southern regions (Crimea, Caucasus). Due to its high frost resistance, the variety is actively moving to the central part of Russia, it can be found in the Urals and even in Siberia.
Isabella grape varieties
Constant selection of Isabella grapes contributes to the emergence of new varieties with improved useful properties.
A plant has been bred from black grapes, the clusters of which are created by berries of amber shade. By many characteristics, the Isabella Belaya grape surpasses its progenitor, and its appearance and taste increase the attractiveness of the variety as an exquisite dessert.
Lydia and Seneca remain the leaders among Isabella grape varieties common in Russia. However, they are gradually being replaced by new representatives of the isabelle dynasty, which have a more pleasant taste, are devoid of mucous pulp, are distinguished by a short ripening period of berries and other useful qualities. These varieties include:
Simone;
Era;
Minsk pink;
Supaga;
Sucribe;
Alden;
Alwood;
Zilga;
Agra etc.
Not distinguished by large berries and clusters, the new isabelle varieties give a stable harvest and do not create difficulties in care, which makes them attractive for growing in suburban areas of the middle lane.
Isabelle raisins are of no less interest, which are represented by Venus, Relines pink seed, Romulus and Einset seed. Grapes of these varieties are not inferior in size to Isabella and Lydia. They are completely pitted, contain a high percentage of sugar, resistant to mildew.
Drought resistance frost resistance
Low drought resistance is one of the few shortcomings of the variety. At the same time, Isabella grapes feel great in areas with high humidity. The plant easily tolerates cold. Its roots and vine do not need to be covered when the air temperature does not fall below 7-8 degrees below zero.
Productivity and fruiting
The classic variety Isabella ripens quite late. The dates when the grapes ripen are limited to October, November. Unfavorable conditions, in the form of cold snaps and constant rains, have little effect on the quality of berries, as well as the yield, which often exceeds 70 kg per bush.
Fruit area
Initially, Isabella was bred as a wine variety due to its high sugar content and yield. However, methyl compounds present in its composition have forced some countries to abandon isabelle wines. The latter did not in the least undermine the reputation of grapes, but only expanded its scope. In addition to eating fresh berries and adding to various desserts, Isabella fruits are used in the production of compotes, jams, marmalades, and other preserves. Grape extracts are in demand in the cosmetics industry.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Among the main advantages of the Isabella grape variety are:
increased frost resistance;
unpretentious care;
resistance to fungal diseases;
adaptation to different climatic conditions;
accelerated recovery after damage;
transportability.
The disadvantages of the variety include:
exactingness in moisture;
tough peel;
late aging;
specific (“fox”) flavor, which is not approved by all wine producers.
Advantages and disadvantages of variety
The undeniable advantages of Isabella grapes include:
general unpretentiousness. Variety Isabella is undemanding to fertilizing, soil quality, has good immunity. Even a novice gardener will cope with its cultivation;
high frost resistance for grapes. Isabella, without much damage to herself, endures cold temperatures down to -32–35ºС in the presence of shelter. Without it – up to -25–28ºС. This allows you to grow such grapes not only in Moldova, Ukraine, southern Russia, but also in regions less suitable for this crop, for example, in the Moscow region, even without winter shelter. If Isabella falls under return spring frosts, new shoots at the site of the victims are formed in 2-3 weeks and have time to fully form this season;
the presence of immunity against diseases typical of the culture. Isabella is extremely rarely affected by such fungal diseases as mildew, oidium, powdery mildew, gray rot, and almost does not suffer from phylloxera. The disease does not spread to her vines, even if adjacent varieties are affected by it;
the ability to tolerate waterlogging of the soil well. Many grape varieties develop rot as a result of frequent and/or heavy watering;
ease of reproduction. Cuttings take root very easily, they require minimal care;
versatility of purpose. Unloved by European winemakers, the taste is considered quite acceptable in Russia, the USA, Australia, South America, and other countries. Yes, you can’t name high-quality wine from Isabella, but after all, the majority of people who do not understand the intricacies of the bouquet of this drink. Many people like it well. But for juices, compotes, and other homemade preparations, the “nutmeg” aroma gives a slight piquancy;
low calorie content (only 65 kcal per 100 g). For grapes, this is, in principle, very atypical. Isabella can be quite possible to use in order to diversify the diet. Also, despite the rich color of the skin, this variety rarely causes allergies;
decorative value. Even if the climate does not allow grapes to be harvested, Isabella can be used in landscaping for landscaping a garden plot. It looks very impressive, wrapping around a gazebo, veranda, fence. In autumn, the leaves take on a very beautiful golden yellow hue.
Isabella is not least valued for its unpretentiousness and the ability to consistently and abundantly bear fruit in less than ideal climatic and weather conditions
The variety also has some disadvantages:
Isabella reacts very negatively even to a short drought. This is not good for the yield
Therefore, watering the grapes should be given special attention. Otherwise, the vine may partially or completely shed leaves and brushes.
Those berries that still ripen become very small and acquire a tart taste. The variety is sensitive to high lime content in the soil. Slaked lime for soil deoxidation is strongly not recommended. You can add dolomite flour, sifted wood ash, powdered eggshells to the garden bed. Isabella also does not like acidic soil, so it is advisable to find out the acid-base balance in advance. Anthracnose susceptibility. Its prevention must be carried out annually, in spring and autumn. The presence of a characteristic aftertaste, called foxy by professional winemakers, which is given to the berries by specific essential oils and acetophenone contained in the skin. It vaguely resembles garden strawberries, but not real, but artificial flavoring. For winemaking, this is considered a very serious drawback (it is typical for all American varieties and hybrids), causing the appearance of an unpleasant putrefactive smell in the bouquet of wine, noticeable even to a non-professional, after only three years of storage.
Specialists do not rate Isabella wine very highly, but many amateur winemakers quite like it.
Isabella grapes. Proper planting
The main thing to consider is the quality of the seedlings. Where do you buy planting material? Are you sure that these seedlings meet all the requirements? Experts recommend giving preference to proven nurseries and not trusting dubious sellers.
Although Isabella is not a demanding grape and is easily accepted in all conditions, it will produce a poor harvest in poor, infertile soil. The only area where grapes will not grow is saline soil. It is also worth taking care of the presence of a small drainage system. For this purpose, you can use expanded clay or small gravel.
Take care of the presence of a drainage system
Consider the main stages of planting:
Landing time. Isabella grape seedlings can be planted in spring and autumn. The main condition is warm earth. Experienced growers are advised to give preference to the autumn period, because during the winter the root system will get stronger enough and develop.
Location. In order for a grape bush to actively develop and grow, it needs sunlight. Do not plant a plant near trees or bushes that provide shade.
Hole. The recess for one bush should be slightly larger than the root system of the seedling. Before planting, the main roots are slightly shortened, and the damaged roots are completely eliminated.
Fertilizers. During planting, it is necessary to apply a small dose of mineral or organic fertilizers. The latter include everything except fresh mullein, since its use can cause many diseases and pests.
Distance between rows. Isabella does not like close proximity, so seedlings are planted at a distance of at least 2 meters.
Care of Isabella grapes
As for care, it is quite simple and includes only regular, plentiful watering, especially in dry weather. Grapes do not tolerate the lack of moisture, so you should organize its flow. Also, many use soil mulching – an effective method to retain moisture, improve nutrition, and also the appearance of weeds. It is also an additional protection of the root system from the influence of severe frosts.
Isabella grapes, planting and caring for which even beginner summer residents can do, will surely bring you a good harvest.
Cultivation features
In order for Isabella grapes to give good yields, you need to choose and organize the right place, as well as select high-quality seedlings.
For this variety of grapes you need:
A site well lit by the sun and ventilated.
Medium acid soil.
When planted in autumn and under favorable conditions, it is possible to harvest the next year.
Removing weeds and loosening the soil.
This variety is moisture-loving, you need to provide him with regular watering.
Application of mineral fertilizers up to 3 times per season, organic every 2-3 years.
Pruning
To quickly form grapes on a high trunk, use the method of molding on stepchildren. To do this, within 4 years, you need to trim according to the following scheme by year:
Second
In the spring – pruning of the annual shoot, leaving 2-3 eyes.
Cut off green shoots that have reached a length of 10-20 cm.
Remove green shoots again when they reach 40-50 cm in length.
Each time you need to leave one, the most developed escape.
When the length of the shoot reaches a length of 10 cm above the planned trunk, it is necessary to emboss (remove the top of the shoot).
After that, there should be 2 upper stepchildren located opposite each other.
When the shoots grow more than 30 cm, they must be tied up in different directions and pinched.
When the stepchildren of the second level grow up, they need to be thinned out so that the distance between them is at least 20 cm.
Third
Trim stepchildren of the second level, leaving 3-4 eyes.
After swelling, the kidneys are removed, leaving the top two.
When shoots grow from these buds, they need to be thinned and tied up.
Fourth
Cut off the shoot that is closest to the ground, leaving 2 to 4 buds (replacement knots) on it.
Form a fruit arrow from the top shoot, leaving up to 10 buds.
In the future, the bush needs annual maintenance and sanitary pruning.
Diseases and pests
Isabella is a disease and pest resistant variety. It tolerates frosty winters very well. But with a lack of moisture, it can drop leaves or give a poorer harvest. You can learn about the system of resistance of grape varieties from a separate article.
“Isabella” is usually not in danger of being attacked by bees. It is rather problematic for insects to pierce the thick skin of these berries.
Common insect pests such as leafworms, felt mites and spider mites can be treated with a variety of insecticides available from garden stores.
Yet the best way to fight disease is prevention. To prevent the ingress and reproduction of insects, the vineyard is sprayed with Bordeaux liquid, a solution of copper or iron sulphate. To avoid infection with fungal diseases, the bushes are treated with a solution of slaked lime.
Winter shelter
Isabella has good frost resistance. Thanks to this, it has become very popular with gardeners in Central Russia. The vine can withstand temperatures down to -30°C and does not require shelter for the winter. Even if the bush freezes slightly in the spring, new shoots will appear that can fully grow in a season.
Harvest storage
The keeping quality of grapes is affected by various weather and storage conditions. Despite the fact that “Isabella” refers to varieties with a long shelf life, excess moisture can spoil the berries ahead of time. Therefore, the crop is harvested in dry weather, after several days have passed since the last rain.
These grapes keep up to several months if hung from the bunch in a dry and cool place.
Regions
Gardeners all over Russia fell in love with unpretentious “Isabella”. Therefore, this grape can be found in garden plots throughout the country – from Dagestan and the Krasnodar Territory, to the Moscow region, the Volga region and even Siberia.
But it is important to understand that this late variety may not have time to ripen if the northern regions had a very cool summer and the plant did not have enough sunny days.
Harm from Isabella grapes
Isabella grape berries are good for the body, but under certain circumstances they can cause harm. Doctors do not recommend eating black fruits under the following conditions:
High content increases gas formation in the intestines, therefore grapes are not recommended for people prone to flatulence. Even a healthy person should not abuse berries.
An increased amount of simple carbohydrates makes berries dangerous for diseases such as diabetes.
The calorie content in fruits is increased, the energy value of the product is 70-73 kcal/100 g, which is higher than that of other varieties. This variety is not advised to eat for obese people who want to reduce the calorie content of the menu.
Polyphenols adversely affect kidney filtration. The hybrid is contraindicated for people with chronic and acute diseases of these organs.
Rinse your mouth after eating the fruit, as the juice damages tooth enamel.
In some cases, the hybrid causes allergies.
You can not combine the use of grapes with milk, fatty foods, sparkling water, so as not to cause problems with digestion.
Pregnant, lactating women and children under 3 years of age, the Isabella grape variety will not be useful.
In order for grapes to be useful, all contraindications to its use should be taken into account. You should also not abuse berries, otherwise the benefits from them will turn into harm.
Dangerous properties of grapes
Back in the 70s of the last century, it was found that Isabella wine contains more methyl alcohol than other brands. Studies around the world have confirmed this feature. It is due to the fact that pectins are converted into methyl alcohol during fermentation. They are in any variety of grapes, but Isabella has more of them in her composition. If in wines from European varieties the amount of this substance is 30-40 mg / l, then in Isabella – 70-120 mg. It finds its way into both industrial and domestic wines.
Eating large amounts of berries can be harmful
Methyl alcohol is broken down in the digestive tract into formaldehyde and formic acid. Formaldehyde negatively affects the liver and nervous system. It damages the optic nerve and causes blindness. In high doses, the substance is life-threatening, in low doses it causes chronic poisoning.
Over the past decades, many firms have tried to refute this claim. There is evidence that in some brands of red wines there is even more methyl alcohol, up to 350 mg / l. They called the data a falsification ordered by producers of more expensive types of wine, because the Isabella brand belongs to a cheap price category.

SUGAR LAND – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas
Sugar cane and cotton are among the most labour-intensive crops. And the southern part of Texas – low, flat, always on the verge of flooding – has been an ideal place for them to grow for centuries. The largest number of sugarcane plantations were in the counties of Fort Bend, Brazoria, Warton and Matagorda.
At first, slaves worked on these plantations, and the planters sold the fruits of their labor at great profit. Hard labor, because, firstly, work on cane plantations was physically difficult, secondly, sugar cane is a favorite place for many insects, including blood-sucking ones, and thirdly, sugar cane does not always contain a lot of sugar . At the peak of sugar content, work on plantations does not stop from early morning until late at night.
After the Civil War, this source of labor disappeared, and the demand for sugar cane did not disappear. It was urgently necessary to find cheap labor, and it was found.
It so happened that an acute shortage of workers coincided with the overcrowding of the prison – in 1867 it suddenly turned out that the number of those sentenced to imprisonment greatly exceeded the number of places available in the prison. The decision to give prisoners as workers to local farmers, to organize labor camps in which criminals would not sit on the neck of the state, but would bring income to both the state and farmers, suited everyone.
Thus, slavery was revived in a new form in the Sugar Land, and not the cleanest page was inscribed in the history of the present city of Sugar Land, located in the very center of sugar extraction and sugar processing.
The first labor camp was organized in the lower reaches of the Brazos River. Then the camps began to grow like mushrooms. The business was so profitable that at some point the state began to organize its own plantation camps, because there was no need to take care of the standardized working day, or the living conditions of prisoners, or their health, prisons constantly supplied new free labor.
This went on for decades until, finally, the life of those sentenced to prison did not attract the attention of journalists. One article, two, three with a story about living conditions in labor camps, led to the fact that the public became interested in this. In 1910, the first legislative hearings were held, the government began to introduce laws defining the rules for the maintenance and work of prisoners.
True, it took another 20 years to put an end to this type of slavery. Without free forced labor, sugarcane mining immediately became unprofitable. The new sugar factory, owned by Colonel Ed Cunningham, was also in serious condition. And here the Sugarland was very lucky. She was interested in a man who knew how to benefit from his enterprises by organizing good living conditions for workers. This entrepreneur was I. H. Kempner.
The wealthy Kempner family is well known to those familiar with Galveston history, especially I. H. Kempner himself. It was he who rebuilt the city after the Great Galveston Storm of 1900, built a breakwater that still protects the island. Such a person not only turned a bankrupt enterprise into a profitable one, but also created a city that was loved by almost all of its inhabitants.
It should be noted that at that time workers’ settlements were often the most unattractive place to live. By the time the plant was purchased, the name of the village was simply mocking, since the inhabitants did not call it otherwise as Hellhole of the Brazos. The first word is translated either as an infernal abyss, or as a den – one is worth the other. And there was reason to call him that. There were no streets in the village, it was flooded every now and then, there was only one house, and that one was public, there was no work left in connection with the ruin of the plant.
Named Imperial Sugar, I. H. Kempner and W. T. Eldridge led the company. From the very beginning, the new owners decided that they could achieve success only by creating such working and living conditions that would help to educate and retain skilled workers, to create a succession of generations of workers. And they succeeded. They began by draining the land of the village, building streets, residential buildings, a school and a hospital. At a time when child labor was considered the most profitable, at Imperial Sugar it was strictly prohibited. Adults worked at the plant, and children went to school.
From one of the most uninviting places to live in, Sugar Land has become the most advanced city in Texas. Both the city and the plant were on the rise back in 1967, when their founder and custodian died at the age of 94. True, by that time it was already clear that the independent life of the city did not last long – it was too close to the fast-growing Houston. The life of the plant was also not easy. There was no local sugar cane left for processing. The plant lived on imported raw materials, which were delivered first by ships, and then by rail.
For a very long time, Sugar Land was the only sugar refinery in Texas located away from the port. It wasn’t until 2003 that this factory closed, leaving Sugarland without its own sugar, turning into a new, modern, highly attractive residential area in Houston.

Lisianthus how to care for a bouquet
The most delicate eustoma
So after all – a rose, a poppy or a bell? Neither one, nor the other, nor the third is eustoma, a flower that can give strength to overcome the distance, giving joy and fun and personifying innocence.
Eustoma – a beautiful guest from Central America
There are flowers that do not grow in our flower beds. They are non-Russian exotics, which are sweet and dear to the heart no less than the usual daisies and cornflowers. These “guests” beckon with their unusualness and nobility, beauty and at the same time modesty. And the first among them is not even an orchid, but a delicate eustoma, which won the hearts of Russians no less than a beautiful rose.
Eustoma, or Lisianthus is such an exquisite and beautiful plant that it is simply impossible not to fall in love with this bright flower. A deep funnel-shaped calyx, covered with several petals, resembles a bell familiar from childhood. A terry riot of petals turns a flower into a real rose, and several layers of them – and a lush and catchy “poppy” will appear before you.
Such metamorphosis is not a fantasy, it is a reality. More than 60 types of eustomas allow you to create magnificent bouquets and floristic compositions both in monochrome and with various types of flowers and greenery. But in any case, the eustoma will shine – it will not be overshadowed by its neighbors. Maybe that’s why a rare ordered flower delivery in Rostov-on-Don does without lisianthus.
Up to 35 tender buds are placed on one stem 60 to 90 cm high. They open gradually, over 2-3 weeks. You will be able to admire pink, white, lilac or even flowers with the thinnest color fringing. Even one branch of eustoma will be an interior decoration and an unsurpassed gift. It is worth buying this delightful flower once and, believe me, you will forever remain his fan.
Where legend ends and reality begins
Hundreds of years ago, a proud tribe of Indians lived in the red mountains of Central America. The azure sky was their roof, and the vultures circled over their heads, as if protecting well-being and good luck. Severe mountains guarded civilians and closed the warpath.
A beautiful daughter was born to the leader, who became a real decoration of the tribe. Many guys lost their heads with her black braids and magical dark blue eyes. Her fame spread throughout the region. And then one day the evil God of War decided to see if it was as good as despicable people say.
And when he saw her, he immediately decided that only such a beauty would become his wife. But she firmly said, “No! I was born for peace and happiness, I give beauty and goodness. My children will not be touched by bloody hands, they will not be washed by mother’s tears, it would be better if they were not born than become children of war!
God could not stand such an insult, and … killed a beautiful maiden. But in this place grew a delightful flower of the same divine blue color as the eyes of the unfortunate bride were. A modest flower with a drooping head was called the “Texas bluebell.” Lisianthus literally translates as a “beautifully speaking” flower. And the British could not resist the tender plant and gave it another amazing name – “rose of love.”
Many hundreds of years have passed since then. The two-year-old eustoma was cultivated, gave it different shades and many petals, but the flower still personifies:
Lisianthus is a symbol of love in the bride’s bouquet, a sign of respect in a gift to the boss , in a single branch on a romantic date, this is a timid confession of affection and incipient love. Here she is, eustoma. Beautiful and noble, timid as an innocent maiden and strong as her spirit.
Don’t let the flowers wither!
It doesn’t matter if you made an order for flowers delivery in Rostov or bought them in a floristic salon. Arriving home, do not rush to get rid of elegant packaging. Release the ends of the stems and cut them diagonally under running water. Moisten the cellophane sheet with some water and place the bouquet for a couple of hours in a cool place. So thin leaves and wonderful flowers will be saturated with water and wilting will slow down.
But there are other basic rules that will prolong the freshness of lisianthus up to 2-3 weeks:
place flowers only in water at room temperature;
add a little sugar to the vase or put a silver coin or a ring;
thin flower leaves will not dry out if the bouquet is placed away from direct sunlight and heat;
the plant is sensitive to bacteria, so change the water daily, each time cutting the stems by 1. 5-2 cm;
to prevent rotting, remove the leaves that will be in the vase;
cut flower food can be added to water instead of silver or preservative sugar, which will allow all buds to bloom and slow down wilting for up to 7 days.
Flowers, children of Flora. They exist in the world so that people enjoy their beauty, become kinder and more attentive to others. Of course, a bouquet of eutome or a flower arrangement, presented on the threshold of the maternity hospital, on the anniversary of the chef or on the children’s birthday is a great addition to the gift.
But when was the last time you bought flowers for nothing? For yourself or for mom, for no reason? For a wife or husband, girlfriend or colleague? No need to wait for a chance, please yourself as a donor with an elegant sprig of eustoma and the unexpected attention of loved ones. Give flower joy to someone simply from a generous soul.
Flowers are not only for women. Men love them no less. They are just in no hurry to talk about it, but they also need beauty. So give each other flowers. They are proof of attention and love, respect and fidelity, devotion and understanding.
Your flowers will stand for a long time – proven methods
Any representative of the fair sex experiences a sea of positive emotions and delight when she is presented with beautiful flowers. But, unfortunately, after a couple of days, the original flower arrangement begins to lose its appeal.
So, how to make flowers last longer and make you happy? After all, you know where to buy beautiful bouquets, and flower delivery in Odessa will help in this.
Tips for making flowers last longer in a vase
In cold weather it is necessary to allow the flowers to acclimate a little. Therefore, when you bring them home or to a warm room, put the bouquet and do not unfold it for about 20-30 minutes. Then carefully cut the bottom of the stem about 1. 5-3 centimeters with a knife or pruner, but not with scissors.
Now let’s look at how to make flowers last longer.
Carefully cut the stems only with a sharp knife and in a diagonal line. It is forbidden to do this with scissors, as they greatly jam the cut.
Remove the bottom leaves before placing your bouquet in a vase.
In order for the flowers to stand longer, it is necessary to place the vase in a place where there is no sunlight.
Place the vase only in bright rooms.
The cooler the room, the longer the bouquet will stand.
Also, in order for the flowers to stand in a vase for a long time, if possible, add a little ammonium solution to the water. If ammonium is not available, then use sugar. Add a teaspoon to the vase.
Do not forget to regularly spray the bouquet with a spray bottle (foliage, not buds!). This will help keep the flowers fresh.
The main thing is to regularly change the water and wash the vase.
Features of some colors
Now we will look at the features of different colors. For example:
Tulip . Before putting the flowers in a vase, the stem must be trimmed. Do not pour a lot of water into the vase, no more than 10cm. If the tulip begins to wither, it is difficult to revive it. Buy semi-green tulips with small buds – these will last a very long time. We use these in our bouquets;
Lilac. We cut the stems and immediately lower the bouquet for a couple of minutes in ethyl alcohol. After we remove the leaves and put the bouquet in a vase;
Rose. Before putting into a deep vase filled with very cold water, remove thorns and excess leaves, the stem should be bare in the water. You can add aspirin or analgin to the water. Change the water every day, do not put a vase of roses in a draft and near fruits;
Chrysanthemums. Cut and place in a small amount of water. At the first sign of wilting, dip the tips of the stems in boiling water for 30 seconds, then return to a vase with pure water. In half a day, your chrysanthemums will be reborn 🙂
Alstroemeria. Likes small amounts of warm water, daily stem cutting and a clean vase.
Eustoma (lisianthus). Stems immersed in water must be stripped of leaves. Eustoma is a multi-flowered plant, the buds do not bloom at the same time, so that the bouquet has a fresh look, dead ones must be safely removed.
Lily. If there are a lot of closed buds on the branch and you want them to bloom faster, place a bouquet of lilies in warm water. Remove faded buds. If the lily smells strongly, then it is necessary to remove the stamens.
Astra. To make the asters last longer, it is necessary to cut the short stems with leaves and put the flowers in a small vase, then add a little vodka or ethyl alcohol to the water. This will help prolong the life of the asters;
Callas. Cut off the lowest part of the flower stem and immediately sprinkle it with regular kitchen salt. You should not put callas in a vase with some other flowers.
If you properly care for the bouquet, change the water daily and prevent the stems from rotting, it will easily stand for more than two weeks. Let your bouquet stand for a long time and please the eye!

With good care, eustoma will last more than a week in a vase.
In appearance, the Lisianthus flower resembles rose buds; it has rightfully earned the respect of specialists for a long time. Lisianthus flower is suitable both for complementing a bouquet of other flowers, and for making a homogeneous bouquet. Various color options of the flower make it very versatile. So, white flowers will be a great addition to a wedding bouquet, pink flowers can be used as a sign of attention to a lady of the heart, and bright purple flowers will perfectly enliven and refresh the atmosphere in the office, at work or at home. The range of use of Lisianthus is not limited to the listed options. Thanks to the most diverse forms and colors, the flower can be used for any whimsical taste. Delivery period : all year round
The history of eustoma is very interesting. It begins in the expanses of the North American Great Plains. The Indians loved this unusual blue-lilac flower. They believed: if a few petals of the blue bell, as they called it, are added to the drink, then it will give strength on a long journey.
This plant was noticeable, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that it was quickly discovered by Europeans who arrived in America and transported to Europe, where professional botanists began to study it.
Carl Linnaeus had no doubts about his work, calling it the sublime gentian (gentiana exaltata). The next scientist who drew attention to the new plant was Salisbury. It was he who proved that the Indian bell is not at all a gentian, as Linnaeus believed, and singled out the plant in a separate row, which he called Eustoma. A little later, the director of the Botanical Gardens in Kew, Sir William Jackson Hooker, took up the study. He described the plant as new, called Russell’s Lisianthus. But here he made a great mistake, attributing eustoma to the genus of tropical Brazilian plants. So the plant got 2 names: eustoma and lisianthus. This mistake had great consequences: they figured out the systematics, but the wrong name stuck to the plant forever – in many countries it is still called lisianthus.
In nature, eustoma grows in the lowlands of rivers. It is a squat plant with greyish green leaves and blue to purple flowers.
The Japanese made a great contribution to the cultivation of eustoma. It was found that there are white and pink eustoma. Terry and large-flowered varieties appeared, tall for cutting and short for growing in pots, varieties with two-color inflorescences: red, light yellow, green. The flower turned out to be convenient for transportation, spectacular in bouquets and long-lived in vases. With good care, eustoma lasts in a vase for more than a week. Before putting the eustoma into the water, it should be cut, remove all the leaves that may be in the water. The water should be changed every 2-3 days, and the cut should be renewed just as often.
Eustoma is still a little known plant in our country, but let’s hope that the situation will change for the better soon. It is so original and unexpected that it is gaining more and more popularity among florists in bouquets and compositions. Eustoma looks amazing in wedding bouquets and boutonnieres, baskets and just in gift bouquets.
Eustoma storage
For “professional” florists: Eustoma is not whimsical when cut and has good viability “up to two weeks” subject to certain rules: – The optimum storage temperature in the refrigerator is 5-8C – Before putting the flowers on the water, cut the stems a few centimeters. – Remove the lower leaves from the stem to prevent them from falling into the water and as a result of rotting. – Place the flowers in a clean container with cold, clean water. – Make sure that the flowers do not become wet due to high humidity in the refrigerator compartment. This can lead to rot on the flowers and leaves. – The use of various preservatives will prevent water pollution by bacteria, clogging of blood vessels and, as a result, extend the shelf life of the flower.
Customer: – Trim stems slightly and remove lower leaves. Place the flowers in cold water. – Adding cut flower food will have a positive effect on the life of eustoma in a vase. Flowers will open more beautifully and last longer. Even the smallest buds will open. Adding top dressing will double the life of eustoma. – It is necessary to change the water regularly as eustoma is very susceptible to bacteria. – Due to the thinness of the leaves, eustoma evaporates moisture very quickly, so do not place the flower in the sun or near heat sources. Eustoma belongs to the Gentianaceae family, like its close relative gentian.
In nature, eustoma grows in Central America and Mexico, in warm climates. Breeders in Japan and South Korea have bred many varieties of Lisianthus – both with simple bell-shaped flowers, and with double, reminiscent of elegant roses.
Since eustoma is a heat-loving perennial plant, in harsh climates Lisianthus is usually grown as a houseplant and in greenhouses for cutting. And in the open field, eustoma is grown in our country as an annual.
Sowing Lisianthus for seedlings
Please note that eustoma has a long period of growth from germination to flowering. Therefore, in order for the lisitanthus seedlings to bloom in the garden in July, it is necessary to start germinating the seeds already in winter (the latest sowing date for eustoma is January).
I start sowing eustoma seeds for seedlings as early as November so that my lisianthus will bloom in the garden from the end of June until frost.
Sow lisianthus in low (no more than 4-5 cm high), but wide jars with holes for excess water to flow out. At the bottom of each container I put fine expanded clay or crushed foam.
To grow seedlings of all my plants, I prepare the same substrate: I mix leaf humus (I bring it from the dacha), any purchased peat soil and add a lot of river sand. Thoroughly mixed substrate must be steamed.
Eustoma seeds are laid out on a leveled surface of a sifted, loose, moistened substrate. I do not sprinkle lisianthus seeds, because they are very small.
After sowing eustoma, I close the jars with cut-off plastic bottles, leaving the neck of the bottles open. It is possible to germinate Lisianthus with a closed stopper of “greenhouse” bottles, but then you need to lift the bottle daily to access the seeds of fresh air.
I put jars with eustoma seeds in a warm place.
Caring for eustoma seedlings
I illuminate eustoma crops with fluorescent lamps. These lamps work for me for 12-16 hours a day, illuminating seedlings. If you do not have any additional lighting for crops and seedlings in the winter, then you should not grow seedlings in winter – without lighting, tender shoots and young plants will disappear.
Eustoma seeds germinate for a long time. Some seedlings appear after 40 days. The stalks of seedlings are so tender and thin that it is even difficult to see them at first. I carefully sprinkle sifted calcined sand around the tiny seedlings of Lisianthus so that the seedlings do not get sick with the “black leg”.
Another feature in growing eustoma seedlings is the obligatory maintenance of a favorable temperature regime. The air temperature must not exceed 25 degrees. Because in Lisianthus seedlings at a higher content temperature, only a rosette of leaves is formed, and the main shoot will not grow (which means they will not bloom).
The most difficult thing in caring for young eustoma plants is to water them very carefully, without flooding them and drying out the substrate. So before planting them in the garden in May, a lot of time passes, and busy flower growers do not always have enough time to check the soil moisture in cups with lisianthus seedlings, then the risk of drying out the substrate is high. In this case, the eustoma seedlings begin to wither and fall. Once it can still be saved, but the second time the plants will not have enough strength to rise. Therefore, I do not sow lisianthus in pure peat. When growing eustoma seedlings in a substrate with an admixture of heavy soil (clay or chernozem) and with the addition of vermiculite, the chances of success are significantly increased.
I regularly spray the growing seedlings of Lisianthus with solutions of growth stimulants (epin, zircon), potassium permanganate. Every two weeks I feed the seedlings with a weak solution of fertilizers.
Now you can buy ready-made eustoma seedlings on the market in the spring at a very low price (compared to how much effort it takes to grow seedlings).

I am planting lisianthus seedlings in my country house at the end of May. Medium-sized and tall varieties of eustoma (above 40 cm) will not withstand strong winds, so it is advisable to tie such seedlings to a support.
I choose a place in the bright sun for growing eustoma. First, I cover the planted plants with spunbond or the same bottles without corks, but slightly smeared with earth, so that the sun does not burn.
In some lisianthus bushes, before flowering, you can pinch the top of the main shoot. Of course, after this, the flowering of the eustoma seedling will be delayed, but pinching will stimulate the formation of many side shoots, and then there will be more flowers.

After the first wave of flowering, I always feed eustoma seedlings with complex fertilizer.
Another important point of care for those flower growers who decide to grow eustoma in their garden. As soon as almost all the flowers in the bouquets of the first flowering wave open, I cut off the entire bouquet with flowers. I leave “hemp” from the peduncle about 10 cm long from the ground. After some time, new shoots with buds form in the eustoma, and the flowering of the plant is repeated in the fall.
Lisianthus blooming has a big advantage – the freshness of the cut remains in the bouquet for a long time. Especially if you first put the eustoma flower stalks in plain water, and after two hours add a little citric acid to the water. Well, of course, you need to change this solution in a vase daily.
Possible problems with eustoma seedlings in an apartment
When growing eustoma seedlings in an apartment, seedlings may develop botrytis (or gray rot) from waterlogging of the substrate and uncultivated land. The first sign of this disease is that the leaves curl up, a gray coating appears on the underside of the leaves. This disease can appear in Lisianthus and in the garden.
If the air in the apartment is very dry and the soil has not been well steamed, then spider mites may appear on the leaves of eustoma. Especially if indoor roses grow on the same windowsill. It is imperative to fight the spider mite on Lisianthus, otherwise the seedlings will not survive until planting in open ground.
When diseases and pests appear on eustoma, plants are sprayed with solutions of appropriate chemicals.
Seed formation in garden eustoma
Eustoma easily sets seeds in the garden, if the very first blooming flowers are left on the seedling, and the rest of the faded flowers are removed. Then high-quality seeds are formed at the first flowers.
These freshly harvested eustoma seeds germinate very well and quickly in the spring (not at all like the purchased ones). However, in Lisianthus grown from such seeds, a large splitting of characters is observed. As a result, seedlings may produce flowers with a grayish-dirty color of the petals, not at all similar to the flowers of hybrid seedlings. Because of this, I did not leave faded eustoma flowers for seeds. Since growing Lisianthus seedlings requires a lot of labor, and the result can be disappointing.
Do not buy eustoma seedlings in autumn
Eustoma winters badly in the house. It is unlikely that you will be able to keep the eustoma seedlings bought in the fall in the apartment until spring. And heat-loving lisianthus growing in open ground will disappear even under good winter shelter.
Lisianthus bushes already blooming in pots can be seen in summer and autumn. I tried to dig eustoma out of the garden in autumn, transplant it into a pot and put it in the cellar. And some plants in pots left in the apartment for the winter. Lisianthus bushes kept in winter. But in the second year they were weak, bloomed little (or even did not bloom at all) – just one disappointment.
Even with careful care, eustoma blooms lush and beautiful not every summer in the open ground of the middle lane. Apparently, it still succeeds better in greenhouses, where there is no wind and relatively constant humidity. But lovers of exotic flowers should definitely try to grow lisianthus in their garden – this plant will give you an unusual beautiful bouquet.
Lisianthus how to care for a bouquet
Lukas Jansen is a Dutch florist who founded the FLOWERACADEMY.NL academy this year. Lucas began teaching in 1984. There were many bright moments in his life, including the creation of the longest floristic composition (1554 m) and the largest flower painting (16 × 8 m), and both of these works are rightfully listed in the Guinness Book of Records. From 19For 90 years, the florist has visited Japan, Korea, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, the USA and many other countries. “The most remarkable thing is that it is possible to create universal works, finding common features in different floristic schools, so that the compositions are accepted with a bang in any country in the world,” says Lucas. Using the advice of an eminent master, we offer you recommendations for preserving the freshness of flowers.
Flower care is a key issue in the daily work of a florist. The quality of the goods always comes first when creating a composition that meets the requirements of buyers, because if the work is assembled from bad flowers, then it is hardly worth expecting good reviews from both the florist and the salon itself. When choosing a material, attention should be paid to the freshness, color and shape of the flower. Oddly enough, but these evaluation criteria are quite subjective, because if two or more florists look at the same bunch of flowers, their opinion about the quality does not always coincide. It depends primarily on how much the storage conditions in the salon will help prolong the life of flowers, what exactly the florist will use them for – for a wedding bouquet, gift composition, mourning wreath – and on many other factors. It is also important where the point of sale is located, what is the wealth of buyers in this area. Undoubtedly, only one thing – all flowers, even of excellent quality, need care immediately after entering the salon. There are a number of simple rules to follow:
• When choosing flowers at a wholesaler, make sure that they are intact and that their stems are not broken or bent.
• Flowers should be unpacked immediately.
• The stem of each flower must be cut diagonally with a sharp florist’s knife.
• All lower leaves are removed.
• Buckets or vases must be disinfected before use.
• Water for flowers must be clean.
• Special food for cut flowers helps keep them fresh.
• 90% of flowers are stored for a long time in a cool place, preferably in a floristic refrigerator.
• Do not store flowers near products that can release ethylene (fruits, vegetables), as well as near exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke.
It should always be remembered that with careless handling it is very easy to turn a good material into a worthless one, and poor-quality flowers, in the vast majority of cases, will not be helped by any nutrients. So what does it say about the freshness of a product? Its appearance and “internal”. The first criterion includes what is visible to the naked eye: wilting, deformation of the stem or bud, uniformity of the floristic material. To the second – the sensitivity of flowers to long-term transportation, to the lack of water (even for a short time), susceptibility to flower bacteria and other diseases.
Why do flowers wither? Each flower has its own ripening period, so it is very important to know at what point it is necessary to cut, but there is one more nuance – in hot summer, flowers are always cut earlier. When purchasing flowers, one should also take into account such a moment as their further use. For example, for ritual bouquets, you can take flowers with already open buds, since these compositions should not be durable. When the buyer comes to the salon to buy flowers for himself at home and put them in a vase, he needs to be offered the freshest, even perhaps a little unripe flowers, so that they please the person longer. Unripe flowers need energy to open the bud, so it is important to use a special floristic dressing, which contains sucrose and antibacterial substances. If you do not follow this simple rule, then the life of flowers will be reduced by several days.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with the main points of homogeneity that you should pay attention to.
FLOWER MATURITY
All flowers in a supply should be of the same maturity, ideally no buds more open or closed than adjacent ones. The maximum allowable percentage of heterogeneity is 5%. If it is higher, then a notice is drawn up that the flowers are not uniform, and this significantly affects the cost of the goods.
Each stem in a pack of 10-20 flowers must have a certain length, because if one of the stems is shorter, then this flower may not reach the water.
The number of stems and buds in the package must match! Flowers such as roses are usually sorted by special machines, while tulips and lilies are sorted by hand.
Some types of flowers are sold by weight. Working, for example, with chrysanthemums, due to the variety of varieties, it is very difficult to say unequivocally whether it is a lot or a little – 5 stems. Usually flowers such as gypsophila, freesia, limonium, aster and others are sold by weight.
Only in rare cases, florists need curved stems – when the idea of work implies such lines. As a rule, straight and strong stems are more in demand in flower shops, which cannot be ignored when purchasing flowers.
Different shades of color and size of buds, damage to some of the flowers during transportation – all this must be paid attention to when purchasing flowers. The heterogeneity of the material can adversely affect sales in the salon.
Several times I came across this story. I buy roses at the morning flower market (on the street), I cut the flowers at home, rejoicing at how fresh they are, just lovely. But when I make an order in the evening, some of them already have darkening petals. Have to choose the best even though everyone was the best in the morning :confused: Question – what’s the matter? maybe they froze on the street? or from what? (buying flowers at the bases, this has never happened, only at the market, that’s why I associate it with the cold)
How to properly care for them at home, if the order is every other day, for example?
General recommendations for caring for cut flowers
Cut flowers are short-lived, they fade relatively quickly, and therefore require special, careful care. In addition to home care, the life expectancy of cut plants is also influenced by growing conditions, agricultural technology, watering during the growing season, and illumination. In cut plants, the normal vegetation cycle is interrupted, they lose their support, their source of nutrition. There are two main reasons for the loss of freshness in cut plants, namely, they can fade and wither. The reasons for the withering of flowers are different and depend, among other things, on the plant itself, on its nature. In addition, the cause of wilting is evaporation, which causes a sharp decrease in moisture in the tissues of the plant, and this is the loss that can only be replenished for a short time. This applies to all flowers regardless of the time of year. At the same time, in winter and early spring, flowers grown in greenhouses wither especially quickly, as they were not prepared for new conditions of detention – in rooms that are too dry and warm for them with central heating. Most often, flowers wither due to a long stay without water, as well as difficulties in its absorption – not by roots, but by stems. A wilted flower after proper care can restore its former freshness for a while. In any case, wilting should be prevented, as it has a harmful effect on the flower – even if it is revived later. In a wilted flower, its safety worsens, and life is shortened accordingly. Each plant has its own wilting point, when its further revival becomes impossible: the flower ages or fades. This process cannot be stopped, but it can be slowed down. There are certain methods that allow you to achieve a longer “life” of cut plants. If a bouquet is bought in a store, then it is necessary to bring it to the house, wrapping it in paper or plastic wrap. If you’re cutting flowers in the garden, wrap the ends of the stems with a damp cloth, damp paper, or even moss, then wrap with plastic wrap. The bouquet should not be exposed to direct sunlight and drafts. Do not abruptly transfer bouquets from cool to warm air. Sudden and rapid changes in temperature can cause flowers to wither quickly. First of all, this rule applies to the cold seasons. When bringing flowers from the street into the house, do not rush to immediately remove the protective material from them and put them in water. Some strive to do this as quickly as possible in order to “warm up” the flowers, but the effect is just the opposite: the flower must adapt to new conditions, gradually get used to them. The less stress he will experience and the longer he will stand in a vase, while maintaining freshness and color. Therefore, when you bring flowers home, leave them in the hallway for a while, because this is the coolest place in the house. After that, you can process the stems of flowers using special techniques that can increase the water-absorbing properties. Moreover, flowers bought already in a bouquet are very often dehydrated and especially require a sufficient amount of water. To do this, refresh the sections by holding the flowers under a gentle stream of water. Remove the bottom leaves, place the flowers in warm water. On soft-stemmed plants, make a long, oblique cut to help them absorb water better.
If there is green shrubs, then this component also needs to be properly processed. Branches cut from large bushes that have a hard, bark-covered stem, before being placed in a vase with water, must be cut (the cut must be oblique), remove the lower processes, make an incision 2-3 cm in the lower part of the stem, remove in this place bark and split the stem. Sometimes the tip of the stem can be crushed with a hammer or knife handle.
For proper care of cut flowers, you need to have the appropriate equipment and materials: a sharp knife, a razor, secateurs, candles (better colored), a spray bottle, a watering can with a long spout, a small nail file, adhesive tape, wire, thin, weak rubber bands, sugar, salt, charcoal, ammonia, glycerin, vinegar, alum, citric acid, potassium nitrates. In the future, no matter what flowers you put in a vase of water, check them regularly and add fresh water – this applies to any flowers. Especially during the warm season or if your centrally heated home is very hot. Keep the water in the vase clean. Bad water is often caused by leaf rot and causes flowers to wilt quickly. Ammonium solution added to water, disinfectants, fertilizers for cut flowers, as well as ordinary granulated sugar in a small amount will also help extend the life of cut flowers. Flowers love bright rooms. Do not place cut flowers near radiators, stoves, heaters, or in direct sunlight. It is undesirable that there are drafts in the room. The temperature in the room also plays an important role: at a temperature of 18-19 ° C, flowers last longer than at a temperature of 22 ° C. At night, it is recommended to put the flowers in a cooler place (from +10 to +15 ° C) or wrap them tightly in paper and immerse them in a bucket of water. Plants with multiple flowers per stem will live longer if dead flowers are removed as soon as possible. This will help the new buds to fully open. Flowers with long stamens live longer when the stamens are removed. You can remove the stamens with your fingers, and if the flower is very tender, cut them off with scissors. If you like long stamens and don’t want to remove them, you don’t have to follow this advice. Spraying the bouquet with water will give it freshness and fragrance. Spraying your bouquet regularly will help keep it fresh for a long time.
To revive slightly wilted flowers, renew the cut under water, spray the flower from above, cover with damp paper; immerse the flowers for a few minutes in warm water at a temperature of 30-40 ° C. Heat will expand the vessels, it will be easier for the stems to absorb water, and the flowers will restore freshness. To revitalize heavily wilted flowers, a method of treating them in hot water is used. With this method, the sections of the stems should be renewed under water, the flowers and leaves should be wrapped in paper or placed in a plastic bag, after which the stems should be placed in water at a temperature of 80-90 ° C to a depth of two to three centimeters. Thick stems are placed in water for twenty to thirty seconds, thin stems for ten seconds. Leaves that are below the water level should be removed. Then wrap the flowers tightly with paper and place them deep in cold water. Especially often this method is used to restore freshness to heavily wilted hyacinths, chrysanthemums, roses, dahlias, zinnias, shrubs.

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

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

What Questions Should I Ask a Daycare Provider?
What ages does Bright Horizons in Seattle serve in its daycare program?
Most of our Seattle child care centers serve children ages six weeks to six years. Bright Horizons is more than daycare. We have programs with developmentally appropriate curriculum for infants, toddler, preschool and pre-K.
I’ve looked at other daycares in Seattle with long waitlists. What if I want to enroll at a Seattle Bright Horizons center but space is not available?
You can select and register with up to three Bright Horizons child care locations, including the center in which you are most interested. By registering, you are confirming interest in all three centers. Once registered, we will add you to our waitlist and offer you a space as soon as one becomes available. Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.
What is the background check process for daycare staff at Bright Horizons Seattle child care centers?
Bright Horizons conducts comprehensive background checks on all prospective employees and frequent visitors. In Seattle, the state of WA Department of Youth and Families requires background checks for employees of a daycare or licensed child care facility.
Bright Horizons background checks consist of a county criminal record check for the past seven years performed in all counties that a person has lived, worked or attended school. In addition to the county criminal search, a sex offender search, OFAC search, and a social security verification trace are also conducted.
Is it safe to send my child to a Seattle daycare or preschool?
Bright Horizons is trusted by parents in Seattle, including many doctors and nurses, to care for their children. We’ve partnered with pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Kristin Moffitt of Boston Children’s Hospital to implement enhanced safety protocols for all areas including daily health screening, distancing, cleaning, and disinfecting. Our goal is to ensure that all of our health and safety practices in every center are in line with recommendations provided by the CDC and requirements of state and local municipalities. Our Seattle centers have the well-being of children, families, and staff at their core.
Do Bright Horizons daycare centers follow state/local requirements for masking and vaccinations?
Where there are additional state or local requirements, for example around vaccination/masking, Bright Horizons also complies with applicable legal requirements in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
Are daycare staff at Bright Horizons in Seattle trained in CPR and First Aid?
All Bright Horizons Seattle staff are trained regularly in CPR /First Aid and Universal Precautions. You can feel confident that your child is safe and receiving the best care possible while in our care. Families of children in our care use the to get photos, real-time updates on care, learning, and milestones, and stay up to date on important notifications.

How much does daycare in Seattle cost?
Daycare tuition depends on your child’s age, as well as your choice in center location. To get a customized tuition quote for Bright Horizons in Seattle, we will set up a Zoom meeting with you to discuss your family’s needs and calculate what tuition would look like for you.
Does Bright Horizons in Seattle have baby daycare?
Yes. Most of our locations offer infant care programs for children starting at six-weeks old. We’re happy to schedule a safe, personalized Zoom visit for expectant parents who would like to learn about why Bright Horizons can offer more than a daycare, even for our youngest learners. Bright Horizons in Seattle is a great place for babies.
Does Bright Horizons in Seattle have a toddler daycare?
Yes. Most of our locations offer toddler programs for children to start to explore independence, language development, and social skills. We’re happy to schedule a safe, personalized Zoom visit for parents who would like to learn about why Bright Horizons can offer more than a daycare. Find out what toddlers learn in our Seattle child care programs.
Does Bright Horizons in Seattle have a daycare preschool program?
Yes. Most of our locations offer preschool and pre-K programs for children that prepare them for school success. We’re happy to schedule a safe, personalized Zoom visit for parents who would like to learn about why Bright Horizons can offer more than a daycare and what school readiness at Bright Horizons in Seattle looks like.
Is Bright Horizons hiring daycare teachers in Seattle?
Yes. Please visit our careers site to view all active Bright Horizons job openings in your area. Our careers site allows you to search for all open positions (part-time, full-time, and temporary) in our centers, including positions at client center that only enroll families who work for specific employers.

Yes, but don’t just take our word for it! We’ve been named 20 times as one of FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, and are honored to be the only child care company to ever make the list.
How can I find child care when a Seattle daycare center is closed?
Having a sitter or two familiar with your family can be extremely helpful when you need back-up care. With the Sittercity app, you can search for local babysitters and nannies, or post a job detailing your needs, and have interested child care providers reach out to you directly. The Sittercity app has built-in screening tools that give you control to hire with ease and confidence, which include secure messaging, interview booking, professional references, and background checks.
What is the difference between daycare and in-home child care in Seattle?
With a babysitter or nanny in your home, your child gets personalized, one-on-one attention in an environment controlled by you. Your child care will match the exact schedule you need, all in the convenience of your home. If desired, you can also get house management help from your in-home provider. A daycare facility tends to be a more cost-effective option that takes place in a child-specific setting. Most will have built-in programming and structured socialization for all of the children in attendance. In the end, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to child care—pick the environment that’s best for you.
How are working parents supported by Bright Horizons in Seattle?
Bright Horizons in Seattle supports the whole family because we know that success at work and success at home go hand-in-hand. We designed our centers, programs, and schedules to keep the needs of both children and parents in mind.
Does Bright Horizons have summer care in Seattle?
We have a partnership with Steve and Kate’s camp locations as well as our Summer Explorations programs for children ages 3-5 and 6-12.
Does Bright Horizons in Seattle allow children with special needs to enroll in daycare?
Yes. Bright Horizons in Seattle accommodates a wide range of special and individualized needs in our group programs. We offer inclusive programs that focus on each child’s strengths and support a collaborative team approach with the teacher, director, specialists, and families. The team will work closely together to maximize your child’s opportunities for learning, growth, and development, and minimize any barriers or safety issues that a group program may present.

how Boeing, Amazon and Microsoft created modern Seattle / Sudo Null IT News then and King of the Cloud. Three companies have shaped Seattle as it is today, driving three waves of economic development. First Boeing, then Microsoft, and more recently Amazon. At the same time, a sharp influx over the past decade of IT employees with an average salary twice the median for the region has caused an acute shortage of housing. In the center, entire blocks of affordable housing were demolished, and expensive apartments were built in their place.
An increasing number of homeless people began to fill the streets of Seattle, in some places because of the tents, the city simply became unrecognizable. Let’s try to figure out what happened.

1. Agglomeration and transport planning
Seattle on the coast of Puget Sound in the northwestern part of the United States has a population of about 740 thousand people, and is the center of King County, Washington, forming an agglomeration with a population of 4 million people (Seattle metropolitan area). Together with Portland, the capital of the neighboring state of Oregon, and Vancouver, the capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia, it forms Cascadia (meets Pacific Northwest), one of the large cross-border mega-regions with a total population of 9.3 million people. This more amorphous socio-economic entity does not yet have an administrative coordinating body, but the possible construction of the UHSGT high-speed rail line will change this.
The megaregion is named after the Cascade Mountains, a large mountain range to the east and south of Puget Sound, which prevents the further passage of water-saturated air masses from the Pacific coast, falling precipitation. Because of this, Seattle has received the not quite well-deserved nickname “the city of eternal rains.” Although the total amount of precipitation there is less than in New York or Miami, it’s just often cloudy or drizzling light rain (it’s more correct to call it rather “the cloudiest city”). But when the sun shines there, and this is mainly May-September, the surrounding nature turns it into a real Emerald City, the “emerald city”. By the way, the sun periodically glances throughout the year, just the weather is very changeable.
Cascadia megaregion (left) and the Seattle metropolitan area (right)
Seattle has a well-developed public transportation system based on mainline and city buses with dedicated lines (King County Metro), streetcars and light rail (Sound Transit), as well as ferries (Washington State Ferries is one of the largest systems in the world in terms of passenger traffic). Their billing is integrated, so you can have one ORCA card for all modes of transport. Thanks to the convenience of the system, the rapid population growth in Seattle and the surrounding area did not lead to a transport collapse – yes, there were more traffic jams, but without public transport, the share of which in trips already reaches 57% (25% drives a car), there would be complete seams. By the way, most employers compensate to some extent the transportation costs of their employees for public transport – not Tokyo, of course (I already wrote about shinkansen), but nonetheless.
The success of public transportation is linked to the creation of a Regional Council (PSRC) with the status of Metropolitan Planning Organization, a transportation and economic planning organization for the entire Seattle metropolitan area. To do this, PSRC, which unites four districts (King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap) with 82 cities and a total area of 16.3 thousand km2, has developed a common transport strategy VISION 2040. Not everywhere in the US and in the world as a whole, this can be done. Often contradictions, politics and simply subjective factors hinder joint transport planning on the scale of an agglomeration — almost always its socio-economic boundaries do not coincide with administrative ones. The situation only becomes more complicated when agglomerations are located on the territory of several administrative units at once, as in the case of New York (states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) or Kansas City (states of Kansas and Missouri, legal conflicts are interesting).
Speaking about the development of transportation in Seattle, one cannot fail to mention two notable tunnels. A transit DSTT of just over 2 km runs under the city center, from 1990 to 2005. it was used for buses, and after modernization with the laying of deep rails – together with the light metro. It was interesting to watch how buses and carriages waited for each other at the stations and took turns darting into the tunnel. This solution was the only one in the United States before the transition to exclusive use by light rail in 2019.
And the second one is State Route 99 tunnel also known as Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel. From 1953 to 2019 the two-level Highway 99, built over Seattle’s waterfront, separated the city from the water’s edge. He would have stood for the same amount if he had not received serious damage during the earthquake of 2001. As a result, they decided to demolish it, replacing it with a two-level tunnel 3.2 km long. For this purpose, Hitachi designed and built the world’s largest tunneling shield with a diameter of 17.5 m, named Bertha. Not having gone even a quarter of the way, it broke down (after all, rocky soil), the repair took two years. They did not disassemble it again, but laid a vertical shaft to the head of the shield for repair. The tunnel was finally completed only at the beginning of 2019Large-scale construction of a new park promenade has already begun on the site of a two-level viaduct.
2. Three Waves of Seattle Development
▍ How Seattle Became Jet City
In 1916, the first Boeing floatplane (William Boeing) took off from Lake Union, in the same year he founded the Pacific Airplane Company, which later became The Boeing Company. He was not local – the son of German immigrants grew up in Detroit. He was brought to the then wild and deaf state of Washington by chance – he started as a timber merchant. Actually, the abundance of forests (planes were then wooden / plywood) and Seattle’s good location between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, and determined the future of the city when Billy became interested in aviation. After the US joined WWI, the military ordered 50 floatplanes from Boeing, and the business began to grow rapidly (the military will remain the most important customer for the company). At 1929, Boeing merged with Pratt & Whitney to form the vertically integrated United & Transport Corporation. But in 1934, the US government accused the corporation of monopoly, dividing it into three independent divisions: the Boeing Airplane Company itself, United Aircraft (Pratt & Whitney, Chance Vought and Sikorsky) and United Air Lines.
Billy Boeing couldn’t bear it, gradually starting to move away from the management of the company, preferring a quiet life on a yacht and breeding horses. After the departure of the founder, Boeing’s business went neither shaky nor roll, until it was strongly spurred on by the outbreak of war and the mass production of “flying fortresses” – long-range bombers Boeing B-17, and by the middle of the war, strategic Boeing B-29. The number of employees at factories in Seattle and other states has increased several times. But there is some kind of evil irony in the fact that in one of their air raids in 1945, B-17s bombed Hohenlimburg, among the other half of the Reich, the steelworkers’ town where the family of the Founder’s father, Wilhelm Böing, came from. Billy Boeing himself died in 1956, never having had time to witness the heyday of world civil aviation based on the creations of his designers and engineers – for the first post-war decade, the main income of the corporation continued to come from orders from the Pentagon. However, a couple of years before his death, he was nevertheless invited to the solemn ceremony of rolling out the Boeing 367-80, which later became the famous Boeing 707.
Boeing’s business throughout the history of the corporation has developed in waves, then falling, then recovering again following the national and global economy. The number of employees of the corporation changed accordingly, sometimes exceeding 100 thousand people, sometimes dropping to 40-50 thousand. One thing remained unchanged – each job in the industry created ~ three additional jobs in related sectors. And if in 2016 in the state of Washington 75 thousand people worked for Boeing, then another 19 people worked in related industries2 thousand (total 267 thousand people). As a result, in 2015, the aerospace sector accounted for 59% of the exports of the entire state of Washington. This multiplier effect, as well as Boeing’s leading role, despite the ups and downs in employment, ensured the formation of a strong middle class in and around Seattle. It is to the Boeing aircraft factories that the city owes its transformation from an unknown provincial town on the wild northwest coast into one of the world’s hi-tech centers. The aircraft industry, like the auto industry in Michigan and Detroit, has become a massive social lift. It gave uneducated workers not only the opportunity to earn decent money, but also send their children to college – the key to the future boom of techno-hipsters in Seattle and the surrounding area, which began in the second half of 1980s

▍ Boeing 747: born in the shadow of a big brother
In the early 1960s Pan Am Airlines, Boeing’s key civilian customer of the time, reaping the benefits of the boom in air travel, persuaded the company to develop an aircraft with twice the passenger capacity of the previous 707. Pan Am placed a firm order for 25 aircraft worth $525 million, with deliveries starting by 1969. As a result, Boeing had only 28 months for the entire development program, a third less than it took to develop a conventional-sized airliner. From the very beginning, work proceeded in an emergency mode. And this despite the fact that the company did not particularly believe in the commercial success of such a large airliner, immediately laying the possibility of its rapid conversion into a cargo aircraft – hence the characteristic raised cabin, as well as the fixed jumbo jet.
Back then, Boeing hoped to sell at least three to four hundred aircraft, seeing the project as secondary to the 2707 SST, an ambitious 300-passenger, Mach 3 supersonic passenger jet (the Concorde had a capacity of 100 people and Mach 2). Later, the silhouette of the Boeing 747 will become an icon of industrial design, and more than 1,500 of them will be sold worldwide. The airliner, which received the nickname Queen of the Skies among the pilots, due to a sharp increase in passenger capacity (440 versus 180 for the Boeing 707), changed the very economy of air travel, making them truly massive. Yes, now it is gradually leaving, like the A380, just since the mid-2000s, the air transportation market itself has begun to change in favor of less capacious, but more flexible twin-engine models.
Back in 1966, for the production of the first wide-body airliner, they began to build a separate aircraft factory, choosing the small lumberjack town of Everett north of Seattle. Until now, the Boeing Everett Factory with an area of 398,000 m2 is the largest building in the world. But then the 747 project was still perceived by the leadership as an “ugly duckling”, – everyone raved about the idea of supersonic flights (the Tu-144 made its first flight on December 31, 1968, the first Concorde flight – in March 1969), all forces were thrown there. Despite this, gradually 4.5 thousand people of the Boeing engineering department become the core for a team of 50 thousand people, one way or another involved in the work on the jumbo jet. As a result, the first flight of the 747 took place on February 1969 as promised by Pan Am.

Meanwhile, in May 1971, despite the strong support of the Nixon administration, the US Congress voted to cancel the Boeing 2707 SST project (there was no money for everything at once – the lunar program was still a priority, plus there was a war in Vietnam). It was a blow under the belt for Boeing – the closure of such a large-scale project due to the high costs of the 747 program and the parallel creation of the short-haul 737, the future bestseller based on the 707/727, led to the layoff of 60 thousand people. Another 43 thousand people lost their jobs in related industries. As a result, the biting nickname of the plane that “almost ate Seattle” was firmly entrenched in the SST.
At its peak in June 1968 in the state of Washington, one in five employed Boeing, and Seattle at the time was rightly called the world’s largest company town. The sales of the 737 and 747 that had just taken off were also not encouraging – the oil crisis of October 1973 hit the entire aviation industry very painfully. Up to 85% of Boeing’s business at that time was associated with sales to civilian airlines, which suddenly became unable to purchase new aircraft. Before Seattle loomed the ghost of Detroit, failed city. There was some kind of psychological breakdown, an outflow of residents began, real estate sales collapsed by 35%, sales of new cars – by 50%, the unemployment rate jumped to 17%, etc. It was at this time that the famous billboard appeared, zeitgeist of that time.

▍ Microsoft’s Role in Diversifying the Seattle Economy
A key event in diversifying the city’s economy was the 1979 move of Microsoft’s headquarters from Albuquerque to Bellevue. This Seattle suburb was home to co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen of the town (after all, family support means something). And according to some estimates, Microsoft’s IPO alone seven years later made 12,000 Seattle employees of the company dollar millionaires. Later, as the business grew, various spin-offs began to separate from Microsoft, or other startups were founded by people from the company. Therefore, the importance of the corporation for creating a powerful IT and venture ecosystem around Seattle cannot be overestimated.
Already on this base somewhere since the mid-2000s. Amazon also began to grow rapidly. Today, Seattle and its environs (Redmond, Bellevue, Everett, etc.) are the headquarters of Expedia, Zillow, Tableau, F5 Inc, Valve, T-Mobile, Getty Images, Alaska Airlines, Nintendo America, PACCAR Inc, Blue Origin and Fortive, large offices of Google and Facebook (6 and 5 thousand employees respectively), Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, etc. Silicon Valley. By the way, in 2021, Seattle ranked second in average hi-tech salaries in the US ($158,000/year), and this year it became the best city for STEM job seekers.
As of March 2021, Microsoft had 57 thousand employees in the Seattle metropolitan area, about a third of their total number worldwide. Well, Amazon came out on top, which, at the end of 2020, due to the global boom in e-commerce, hired another 16.5 thousand employees during the pandemic, bringing their number in the region to 80 thousand people. Boeing, after laying off more than 20,000 employees during the crisis with the 737 Max, which continued due to the pandemic, had less than 56,000 employees at the end of 2021. Here is such a “big three” of employers in the Seattle agglomeration. There are, of course, other large medium-sized companies that form the backbone of the region’s economy, such as the educational cluster (University of Washington and Washington State University, more than 32 thousand people in total), medical cluster, retail (Nordstrom and Costco Wholesale Corporation with 11 thousand people). ), the world’s largest ferry system, civil and naval shipyards and naval bases, etc.
Speaking about the loss of Boeing’s leadership among the region’s employers, one should keep in mind the multiplier effect of employment in related industries. Therefore, Seattle and its environs are still the center of the largest aerospace cluster in the United States (in addition to Boeing, these are Blue Origin / Kuiper Systems, the production sites of SpaceX, Aerojet Rocketdyne and LeoStella, etc.). At first, the state of affairs was not affected even by the transfer of the headquarters in Chicago in 2001 after the merger with McDonnell Douglas. The seizure of power by an alien management with a toxic corporate culture and the gradual loss of “engineering spirit” to please the financiers gave rise to a sad joke “McDonnell bought Boeing with Boeing’s money.” It was after this that the “new” Boeing began moving production to other US states with less strong unions and lower salaries, and also relying heavily on outsourcing. It was in that decision that the roots of the troubles with the 737 MAX and partly with the 787 lay (“Boeing is no longer the same, it stopped caring about people” – something like this can be heard from old-timers and veteran manufacturers).
▍ Pride and Curse of Seattle: Not Just Bezos’ Ears
Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in Bellevue in 1994. It can be said that this was the third key event for the entire region in the 20th century. after Boeing and Microsoft. The choice of location was not accidental, Microsoft had already settled in Redmond and many ambitious programmers were spinning around. Bezos was not a local, he chose the state of Washington from a purely cold calculation – as one of the most sparsely populated. At that time, retailers only paid sales tax in their home state, and sales to other states were not taxed (he started with online book sales). Smaller population – small local sales – lower taxes. In addition, Washington is a regressive tax state, and in Seattle, with a household income of $25,000, it pays 17% of local and state taxes, and only 4.4% with an income of $250,000.
This was the beginning of a long journey of minimizing tax payments, which subsequently led to the formation in 2003 of AEHT and Amazon EU Sarl – Amazon’s subsidiaries in Luxembourg (with Project Goldcrest, The Guardian figured out the tax avoidance scheme). By the way, Jean-Claude Juncker, the architect of the tax reform that made it possible for a tiny European principality to become a paradise for billionaires around the world, later became President of the European Commission. And Bob Comfort, the then head of the Amazon tax department, became the honorary consul of Luxembourg in Seattle – as you understand, such serious things are not done from scratch. In general, flight to the kindest tax jurisdictions is one of the foundations of the company’s global success. So, for the right to place the second headquarters of Amazon (HQ2) in the United States, a serious struggle unfolded between US cities. Bezos waved the carrot at 50,000 new jobs and $5 billion in investment. The state of New Jersey offered $7 billion in tax breaks, but the states of Virginia and New York won in the end.
Meanwhile, the Seattleites kept warning those about the dangers of “Seattle-ization” when, due to the ongoing Amazon boom, housing in it for locals (normal residents without six-figure salaries) became unaffordable. It was with Amazon that the lion’s share of business and construction activity was connected in the center of Seattle after the crisis of 2007-2008, when the company decided to move its headquarters closer to the center of Seattle, to the South Lake Union area. In 2017, Amazon occupied 19% of Seattle’s office space, the highest percentage occupied by a single company in American history. This resulted in the construction of almost 10,000 high-end apartments in the center in 2017 alone (twice as many as in the previous year, and in ten years combined, more than in the previous 50 years). While practically nothing was built on the outskirts, especially in the affordable housing segment.
However, this pace of construction has not kept pace with the influx of new residents. Before the pandemic, up to 20 thousand people moved to Seattle every year, attracted by high salaries in the IT industry and, above all, from Amazon ($100-110 thousand per year, twice the average salary for the agglomeration). According to the Seattle agglomeration in 2010–2019 the numbers were even more impressive: 60,000 new residents each year and only 19,000 newly built housing units.
This imbalance between rapid population growth and lack of supply in the market caused a sharp increase in property prices. The median cost of a one-story house in Seattle increased by 110% to $820 thousand by 2018, and the average cost of rent by 64% to $2 thousand (now it exceeds $2.6 thousand). In Bellevue, by February 2022, amid rumors that Amazon plans to place another 25 thousand employees there, it has reached $ 1.56 million. Growth is likely to continue, making suburban Seattle the place with the most expensive real estate in the United States. ahead of New York and Silicon Valley. All this has caused an acute housing crisis, according to the municipality, up to 45 thousand households spent more than half of their income on housing (in 2018, 54% of households rented housing, and this share is growing). According to the calculations of municipal employees, households can breathe more or less freely with annual incomes of $75,000 (higher than the median income in the state). While the greatest shortage of social housing was observed in the subgroup of households with minimal incomes (up to 50% of the median or less than $35 thousand, see graph).
Overall, the 2021 Puget Sound Regional Council estimates that 46,000 housing units must be built in Washington State to fill the housing shortage, with at least 11,000 housing units for the homeless.

3. Costs of the economic boom
▍ The housing crisis and homelessness
As of 2021, Seattle was the 18th largest city in the United States, and in terms of the number of homeless people, it remains in third place, after New York and Los Angeles. At the beginning of 2020, in King County, which includes the Seattle agglomeration, there were about 11,750 homeless people. At the same time, almost half, 5,600 people lived on the streets, another 4,000 lived in shelters for the homeless, and about 2,000 lived in temporary social housing. By another method of counting, there were four times as many homeless people in King County. As a result, their tents and sleeping bags are everywhere – under bridges, in open spaces, on sidewalks, on patches of lawns, in parks. As a result, some areas of the city began to resemble refugee camps. In 2020, more than 120 such small towns of homeless people from 2 to 10 tents were scattered throughout the city.
This is due not so much to drug addicts (Washington State in 2012, one of the first in the United States to legalize marijuana as a remedy) and finished drunkards, but to poverty and the crisis of the social security system in general, an acute shortage of affordable housing, lack of control over rising rents, as well as a large number of mentally ill people on the streets of all American cities without exception. It is estimated that in King County, approximately 4,000 homeless people, or 34% of the total, suffered from various mental disorders. For this special “thank you” to Reagan, who at 1981, as part of the reduction in support for the healthcare system, ordered the release of them from hospitals.
Newly elected Bruce Harrell became mayor, promising to clear downtown streets and city parks of homeless people while building new temporary shelters and social housing. In an ideal picture of the world, after the dismantling of the tent camp, the homeless are relocated to shelters. Their stay there should be temporary, the next point is resettlement to affordable (social) housing. But since it is sorely lacking, all the shelters are overcrowded. Therefore, the newly dispersed tent city reappears somewhere nearby. There are unenviable statistics in 2020, when only a quarter of the inhabitants of the dispersed tent cities received places in homeless shelters, and only about 5% of them received it within two days after the camp was dispersed.
Let’s see if Harrel can do it, all the Seattle people are holding their fingers, but things are moving very slowly so far, not least because of the pandemic. In 2021, King County bought 9 properties for temporary shelters for 1,600 homeless people – seven hotels and two high-rise buildings, so far only two properties for 180 people have become really used for these purposes.

▍ Microhouses and tent cities
In order to somehow solve the problem of the homeless “from below”, various NGOs have been working in Seattle for many years in two directions. First of all, they take part in the City-Permitted Villages municipal program, when two or three dozen small temporary wooden houses (average area 11 m2) are located on the officially designated territory. So far, there are only about a dozen such sites, and they provide shelter for about 440 homeless people, all of them are managed by the NGO Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI). Othello Village is one such settlement, consisting of 28 wooden cabins and 12 tents with a shared shower, toilet and kitchen tent. In pre-Soviet times, 34% of the inhabitants of these tiny-house settlements actually moved into permanent social housing after some time, which can be considered a success.
As for the second direction, tent camps, such spontaneous settlements of the homeless appear in all states. They started showing up in Seattle as early as the 1990s, but the city government cracked them down. The precedent was the decision of the city court on Tent City 3, which was taken under the patronage of the NGO SHARE / WHEEL. This tent city for about 100 inhabitants was legalized, but with the condition of its rotation on private territory for no more than 90 days (an official invitation is required). For example, in 2017 and 2021 its host was the University of Washington. Tent City 4 was also legalized, but in 2004 it was moved from downtown Seattle to the eastern shore of Lake Washington, where it also moves from place to place on a rotating basis. As a rule, most of the residents of these two legalized tent cities work, one-time hot meals, garbage collection, toilets are organized there, and strict internal rules apply (it is forbidden to drink, use drugs, fight, etc.).
▍ What about big business?
The big business of Seattle has also begun to participate in resolving the issue, but so far it is either a tribute to fashion or an attempt to whitewash itself in the eyes of the public. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen donated $30 million back in 2017 to an affordable housing project for the homeless in Seattle. At the beginning of 2019-2020 Microsoft decided to allocate $750 million to solve the regional homeless problem, but 97% of this amount is loans to developers (part at a reduced interest rate). And only $25 million will be directly allocated in the form of grants and subsidies to eligible NGOs. In January 2021, Amazon also announced a $2 billion Housing Equity Fund, but only $344.3 million of that is for King County (and also in low-interest loans).
These are crumbs compared to what is required. Amazon is not even going to compensate for the losses incurred. Over the past decade, 112,000 affordable housing units for households below 80% of the median income have been demolished to build luxury apartments throughout King County. Against this background, the promise to sponsor the construction of 2-3 thousand units of such housing looks like a grin. Therefore, the philanthropy of Seattle corporations is not able to solve the problem with affordable housing, if at all it has such goals.
4. Adapting the zoning system to address the housing crisis
While the municipality and various NGOs are trying to solve the same problem from different ends, the city zoning system is being adapted towards increasing the allowed number of storeys (up-zoning).
In fact, upzoning in the single-story single-family housing blocks of Seattle has already been. There were more than 10 thousand different duplexes, triplexes, townhouses and ADUs. But in most cases, this is a historical heritage, they managed to build up to 1923, when the zoning system was adopted in Seattle. Since 1980, the quarterly housing capacity has remained virtually unchanged, while the population has grown by 40%. And if in 1923 single-family zoning covered a third of the city’s territory, today it exceeds half. Since 1994, it was allowed to increase the density in single-family housing zones only with the help of ADU, these are residential premises that complement the main house on the same site (a small guest house, a garage with a second residential floor, etc.). Due to restrictions, only about 1,500 have been built since then, no more than 1% of the city’s housing stock. By comparison, in neighboring Vancouver, which is facing an even worse housing affordability crisis, ADU accounts for more than a third. In 2019The City Council has finally loosened ADU restrictions by allowing up to two such additional housing units to be built on the same lot, while simultaneously increasing their allowed area. So things start to get better.
In addition, the 1990 Comprehensive Urban Development Plan and its update Seattle 2035 introduced three new zoning categories for the first time to contain Seattle’s sprawl. They were called urban villages – “growth zones” for the concentration of urban development in them: six urban centers with maximum density, six hub districts with intermediate density and 18 residential areas. These were special zones of mixed land use (mixed use) with housing, places of application of labor, services and recreation areas within walking distance from public transport routes. Accordingly, the remaining 2/3 of the city’s territory has retained the traditional zoning for single-story buildings (Single Family Residential). The strategy paid off, after two decades, 75% of construction activity and 80% of new jobs in Seattle accounted for urban villages.
According to the Seattle 2035 plan, priority development will continue in urban villages along transport corridors. In 2017, up-zoning was carried out for downtown and the university district, and a mandatory affordable housing (MHA) program was adopted for new development projects. In 2019, all 27 urban villages in Seattle expanded its operation. Developers admitted to the development of these new sites must include affordable housing in their projects (5-11% depending on the area and allowed additional floors) or pay a tax ($53-350 per m2). Thus, up to 6,000 affordable housing units are expected to be built in Seattle over the next 10 years. In total, about 6% of the territory of Seattle fell under up-zoning. You can read about affordable housing development projects in Seattle, their financing and costs, as well as who exactly can apply for such housing, here.
But the state of Washington planned to go even further by passing a bill to increase the density and up-zoning of one-story housing estates within half a mile of transit lines in cities across the state (HB 1782, also known as missing middle, “missed middle”) . In these single-story housing areas, it was intended to allow the construction of various mid-rise housing options. Similar up-zoning laws to address the housing crisis were passed in neighboring Oregon (2019) and California (2021). However, the Washington State Legislature rejected HB 1782 on February 15, 2022, after meeting strong opposition from local municipalities. They asserted their right to determine local zoning rules without state interference.
Did not support the bill and Seattle. More than half of the city’s area is just such zones of one-story housing, and due to the developed network of bus routes, almost everything would fall under up-zoning. Not everyone in the city council believes that a sharp increase in market supply will be enough to immediately solve the housing crisis (rather, it is a long-term measure for 10-20 years). Proponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue frantically that local control, zoning, and city planning have failed and are unlikely to respond adequately to a housing crisis that requires coordinated statewide action. But for the time being, the traditional US shtetl and NYMBYS, which I wrote about in the material about New York, are taking up again.
Time will tell how the situation will develop in the future. In the meantime, it’s best to remember the code phrase “Did you see those giant Bezos balls? Horror!”. Something like this is how you can start a conversation in Seattle, if you really want to enlist the support of the locals.
So this is all I wanted to say about Seattle and urban planning in the US, which is in dire need of reform to move away from the dominant type of zoning with single-family houses (One-Family Residential) towards denser development and mixed land use (mixed use). ). Well, ahead is hot Mexico City. A city that actually drank the lake on which it was built and is now suffering from a lack of water. A city where half of the agglomeration lives in informal housing, areas of which are sometimes better equipped than municipal ones. The city is a paradox.
Stay tuned!
The 1966 Seattle School Boycott
The 1966 Seattle School Boycott was a protest against racial segregation in the Seattle Public Schools. On March 31 and April 1, thousands of students walked out of their public schools, the vast majority of whom were attending public schools. Freedom schools. [1] [2]
Parents, civil rights groups, and community organizations have spent years pushing the city to improve the public education system and make Seattle’s schools equitable for all children. They challenged a structure in which children of color are disproportionately concentrated in a few underfunded schools and demanded that the district improve the quality of those schools. However, they failed to convince the majority white school board to address the issue. [3]
After years of dissatisfaction with the City, a coalition of organizations led by the Central Committee on Civil Rights (CACRC), the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE), and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) organized a boycott, demanding that all Seattle parents stay out of school for two days. [4]
Organizers saw the need for alternative education programs during the boycott to provide childcare for working parents and to model a multicultural education for students. They decided to call these sites “Freedom Schools” to connect the local boycott with the national fight for racial justice. [4]
Eight freedom schools were originally planned, but on the morning of March 31, so many students left the school that many new freedom school sites had to be opened. Some parents stayed when they came to pick up their children because there were so many people there. Freedom Schools were held at: First A.M.E. Church, Madrona Presbyterian Church, Goodwill Baptist Church, YMCA East Madison, Cherry Hill Baptist Church, Tabernacle Baptist Church, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Woodland Park Presbyterian Church, and East Side YMCA. [4]
The Seattle Freedom Schools curriculum included subjects not taught in Seattle public schools. Particular attention was paid to teaching the history of African Americans and the history of the civil rights movement. Freedom Schools also provided “leadership training [for youth to become] the next generation of civil rights leaders,” said Dr. Earl Miller, a Seattle organizer with the NAACP and CORE. [5]
Hundreds of volunteers have worked as teachers, on-call doctors, outreach workers, transportation directors, childcare assistants and counselors. [6] The total number of students who left is estimated at 4,000. [1] The organizers estimated that 3,000 people participated in the Freedom Schools. In two days, absenteeism in the school district increased by 58.5%. According to the chairman of the Boycott Committee, about 70% of students attending freedom schools were of color, predominantly African American, and approximately 30% were white. Although the school district attributed the absences to the upcoming spring break, boycott organizers considered it a huge success. [6]
Some participants criticized what they saw as symbolic support from white families participating in the freedom schools. Other people were disappointed by the lack of long-term results as the Seattle public school district continued to perpetuate racism and inequality. However, the 1966 Seattle Freedom School campaign is part of the history of a racial justice organization that provides strength and guidance for people who continue to work for racial equality. 9 Clark, Brook.

Child Care Aware of Washington commends Governor Insley and his leadership at the Department of Children, Youth, and Family Affairs (DCYF) for not vetoing most child care bills or budgetary investments made during legislative session of 2020. As the governor said, “Child care workers are a critical support system in this fight… they go to work at great risk to their health…”. Childcare educators put themselves at great risk caring for children of essential workers, many of whom will be exposed to COVID-19. They open their doors to families, despite the fact that almost all of them do not have access to health care, they suffer from poverty and do not have access to protective equipment or testing. Ensuring that recent investments such as increasing the rate of care delivery, increasing the amount of time families with young children experiencing homelessness can receive free care, and giving educators more opportunities to meet government standards will help ensure not only that childcare is available to our essential workers today, but that it is available to everyone when we all get back to work!
We thank the Governor and DCYF for taking this critical first step, and we urge all politicians to do more. To date, more than 1,000 childcare programs have been closed due to the pandemic, reducing the state’s overall childcare capacity by nearly 30%. Most childcare programs across the country are reporting that their business won’t survive the shutdown as long as Washington survives it. Politicians at all levels of government must do everything in their power to ensure that huge cuts in childcare costs do not prevent our state and nation from making economic recovery when the time is right.

Very young children were previously among the groups most missing from the United States Census. Because billions of federal dollars depend on the population, it’s important to count everyone, including every infant and child.
Through the Washington Equity Fund, our public not-for-profit community is stepping up work to ensure the accuracy of the 2020 Census. Child Care Aware of Washington recently won a grant from the Equity Foundation to help ensure that all of Washington’s youngest children are covered. With billions in federal investment dependent on population (Washington received over $16 billion in federal funds in 2016, based on the 2010 Census), it’s clear that counting everyone matters.
We look forward to joining dozens of other non-profit organizations to help in this important endeavor. In the coming weeks, we’ll be creating information cards to be shared with families by child care providers to help them understand the importance of accurate census counts. In the meantime, check out the rest of the grant recipients here: http://bit.ly/2QQbJml.

CCA new WA CEO Dianne Paffert recently participated in The Puget Sound Business Magazine Talk with a Thought Leader. in Seattle on the importance of childcare to our economy. Also in attendance were former state representative Kristin Reeves (who campaigned for childcare in the state legislature and is currently running for Congress in the 10th district), Amy Anderson, director of government relations for the Washington Business Association, and Jasmine Donovan. , president of Dick’s Drive-In.
Thought Leader Forums are designed to raise awareness on important business and economic issues. The childcare event focused on the childcare crisis in Washington DC and how to address it. Clearly, Washington employers are playing a key role in increasing the supply of licensed childcare, and they are beginning to understand how the childcare crisis directly impacts their bottom line. We thank Puget Sound Business Magazine for focusing on this important economic issue.

TACOMA, WA – October 23, 2019 – Washington has one of the least affordable childcare centers in the nation, ranking in the top ten states for least affordable childcare when comparing median cost to median income. Our state ranks second among the least affordable infant care services in the family home child care program and sixth in the affordability of infant care services in the center. Washington ranks fifth among the least affordable states for the cost of family-based early childhood care and ninth for the cost of such services at the center. When it comes to caring for a four-year-old, Washington is ranked seventh least accessible for family home care and 9th0156 tenth place among the least accessible for family care in the center. The rating is based on a recently published report. “The US and the high cost of childcare, a study of a broken system”. with Child Care Aware of America.
For the seventh year in a row, Washington has been ranked among the top ten states with the lowest childcare costs. Parents across Washington DC are struggling to afford child care when they can find it. A year of childcare is often worth more than a year of public college education, and some areas of the state have seen significant declines in licensed childcare opportunities. Most areas have limited capacity for infant and toddler care. Waiting lists of a year or more are common.
“We have not invested enough in our childcare system to meet demand. Clearly more investment is needed at the state and federal levels, and from the businesses that directly benefit from childcare every day when working parents show up to work on time and are ready to be productive,” said Ryan Prisco, director of policy and advocacy for Child Care Aware of Washington.
The Washington Daycare Crisis is costing companies more than $2 billion a year in employee turnover and absenteeism due to childcare issues, according to a new report from the Child Care Joint Working Group, released in March. 2006. Installation costs for childcare.” She found that the total cost to our nation’s economy exceeds $6.5 billion annually. With historically low unemployment rates, employers are increasingly working with fewer workers than they need. Increasing access to quality, affordable childcare will allow more parents to get and stay in work, while reducing some of the overall economic impacts identified in the report on rising childcare costs. It will also provide children aged 0-5 years with critical opportunities for early learning when 90 percent of their brains will develop.
In general, the cost of childcare relative to family income has increased over the past eight years. Since 2011, median household income has increased by 18 percent, while median child care has increased from 19-22 percent in central institutions to 14-221 percent in family child care. 2 Meanwhile, government reimbursement rates for caregivers who accept children whose families receive child care subsidies are behind schedule. Despite the recent increase in these rates, the cost of providing quality child care continues to exceed the cost that reimbursement providers receive to care for our most vulnerable children and families. For this reason, many caregivers accept only a few children at a time, or not at all. This further limits low-income families’ access to high-quality child care.
As the cost of childcare rises, so does the proportion of income needed to cover the cost, leaving some families, especially single-parent families, with the difficult choice of what bills to pay each month. This year, the median spending on child care in kindergarten consumed 52% of the median income of a single-parent family, up 1% from last year. This care takes 15.3% of a couple’s median income. It is not uncommon for childcare to be the second most expensive monthly bill for young families, behind only rent/mortgage.
Solving Washington’s childcare challenge requires increased government, business, and charitable investment in childcare and early learning programs. Child Care Aware of Washington advocates for increased investment, both public and private, and greater access to high quality health care. We work with providers to improve the quality of childcare services and help providers save time and money on the business side with our online business services portal.

October 22, 2019 – The Board of Trustees for Child Care Aware of Washington welcomes Deeann Burtch Puffert as the nonprofit’s CEO in partnership with its six regional partners as it expands its services and advocacy for families across Washington, D. C. and its commitment to preparing children for success in school and life.
Paffert has devoted her entire professional career to working with children, youth, families and service providers in the non-profit sector. For the past 34 years, she has focused on the issue of early childhood education and has addressed many aspects of education affordability, accessibility and quality issues by asking numerous donors, national partners, state and community partners to improve the workforce. resources, the economy and the equity system.
“Diann’s years of experience in early childhood education, from working in the classroom to leading a resource organization, makes her the ideal person to take on the organizational leadership of CCA,” said Lois Martin, CCA WA board of trustees and director of the Community Children’s Center, Seattle. “She runs an organization that delivers results for children.”
Paffert worked in the CCA WA system for 30 years with King and Pierce County regional partner Child Care Resources (CCR). As CEO of CCR since 2009Deanne led the organization to develop a racial equity framework, provide services to children and families experiencing homelessness, create and expand Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups for children in informal care, and lead the Child Care Institutions Support Group to Improve Quality and professional development. Child Care Resources also operates the CCA WA Family Center, which last year helped nearly 15,000 families across the state find directions and resources for early childhood education.
“The Board of Trustees recognizes Deanne’s exceptional knowledge of our state’s early learning system and looks forward to her leading CCA WA’s work to further address childcare in Washington with our partners,” said David McRae, Co-Chair and Vice President CCA WA, Banner Bank.
Prior to joining the company, Paffert served as program director, responsible for the overall direction and management of four of them. NAEYC-accredited centers that served about 180 families.
I look forward to moving from working with a regional perspective to working with Washington State SLA staff to continue their excellent work.” I also look forward to expanding and developing new relationships and partnerships that will further transform childcare and informal care for them into a full-fledged partnership within the early learning system,” Paffert said.
Puffert joins Child Care Aware of Washington on Dec. 2.

TACOMA, WAOKAY. 21, 2019 – Washington employers have incurred $2.08 billion in employee turnover and absenteeism caused by our state’s childcare crisis, according to a new report released today. These costs, combined with the opportunity cost to employers of lost productivity and investment prospects, are estimated at $6.5 billion.
These findings are part of a new report from the Washington State Joint 2018 by the state legislature to identify new ways to expand access to quality, affordable childcare. The Task Force brings together business leaders, caregivers, parents and legislators to focus on the importance of child care to our state’s economy. A variety of partners, including the Washington State Department of Commerce, the Washington State Business Association, and Child Care Aware of Washington (CCA WA), contributed to the report.
“At Child Care Aware of Washington We know that working parents strive for quality, affordable child care, and we know that caregivers try to keep their doors open. We also know that high quality child care is extremely important for young children who spend thousands of hours each year in child care while their brains are in their fastest phase of development, we are encouraged that the Legislature and new partners are exploring ways to mitigate Washington’s childcare crisis,” said Ryan Prisco, director of advocacy and policy at the Washington State CCA.
Some Key Takeaways from the Child Care Expenses Case Installation:
In 60% of Washington households, all adults work with children under the age of six.
27% of parents quit their job or dropped out of school/education due to childcare problems
27% of parents switched from full-time to part-time jobs due to childcare issues.
67% of Washington employers report being absent from work due to childcare issues.
9% of parents were fired from their jobs due to childcare problems
“This report clearly shows that more investment is needed in our state’s childcare system. Currently, only 1.1% of the state budget is allocated to early childhood education and childcare. Increased state and federal investment, and also from one of the main beneficiaries of childcare services – the business community – will go a long way in mitigating the effects of the childcare crisis,” Praisco said.
“Child care is not just a parenting issue, it’s an economic issue,” said Washington State Department of Commerce Director Dr. Lisa Brown. “In addition to hurting children and families, lack of access to quality, affordable childcare is impacting employers, impacting economic viability and growth, which strengthens communities across the state.”
Parents of babies and young children across Washington DC struggle to find and pay for high-quality, licensed daycare, often paying more than the cost of college education. Washington is in the top ten states with the least affordable childcare of almost all types for children under 5 years of age. The median cost of childcare in our state for an infant and preschooler at a center is 34 percent of the median household income. The average cost of caring for both children in a family home-based child care program is 27 percent of median income. In general, the cost of childcare relative to family income has increased over the past six years. Since 2011, the average level of childcare has increased from 19-22 percent for centers and 14-22 percent for 90,156 families1, 90,157 while average household income increased by only 18 percent. 2
Solving the problem of childcare in Washington requires increased public, business, and philanthropic investment in childcare and early learning programs. OCO ZA advocates for increased investment, both public and private, as well as increased access to high quality health care. We work with providers to improve the quality of childcare services and help providers save time and money on the business side of their programs through our shared online business services portal.

Child Care Aware of Washington joins our fellow child and family advocates in opposing the current federal administration’s plan to take funding from previously approved and funded military child care projects to help pay for a wall along our southern border. Military families at all of our bases deserve a safe, clean and supportive environment for their young children to be educated at an early age while their parents are working and/or deployed.
While there are currently no plans to reduce child care programs based in Washington, Child Care Aware of Washington believes that all military families at all of our bases deserve high quality early childhood care programs. When military families cannot find safe, high-quality care, they must either opt for the more expensive off-base licensed care, resort to potentially unlicensed unlicensed childcare, or forego one working parent’s income altogether, deciding that one parent should leave. From the job. Military families invest their entire lives in keeping our country safe, and our country must ensure that its children are safe and prosperous through high-quality childcare programs.

CONGRESS SAID NO TO AN INVESTMENT IN CHILD CARE (AGAIN)!
Where Do Private Providers of Licensed Early Child Care and Education Go From Here?
By Cindy Lehnhoff
Director of the National Child Care Association
As an industry we must decide whether or not to take this one lying down or to keep fighting for ourselves and the communities we serve. We know without a doubt the temporary support of COVID-19 emergency funds will run out. In fact, it is estimated that states will be facing a $48B funding cliff in 2024. The reality is private licensed providers, who make up 93% of the child care infrastructure in the US, have worked long and hard for years to keep things going for working families. Long before COVID-19 you have weathered many unfunded mandates to improve quality. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic and child care’s financial fragility was finally fully revealed. Isn’t it sad that it took a pandemic for our US Legislators to realize that child care is ESSENTIAL? Thankfully, however, they did and they quickly reacted by providing historical amounts of funding to keep the licensed child care providers temporarily afloat. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived victory for child care as Congress recently decided it was more important to invest in hiring 87,000 new IRS agents then continue to invest in child care. They did this in spite of the many well-known facts that clearly show the future of accessible and affordable child care is more uncertain than ever. Those FACTS include:
The child care workforce is in crisis due to low wages, lack of benefits, and working conditions.
The most recent data says that only 76% of the child care workforce has returned following the pandemic compared to 103% of private sector jobs lost during the pandemic.
Many providers are not able to accept more children into their programs because they are unable to staff their classrooms with qualified child care professionals and educators.
Providers are forced to raise their rates to afford the cost of rising prices in labor and goods therefore making it even less affordable for working families.
Roughly 1 in 3 working parents in the US are using informal child care arrangements (relatives, friends, neighbors or alter their work schedules so one parent can be home) .
COST and ACCESSIBILITY for families are two of the top reasons why working parents have to count on informal versus formal child care arrangements. This is especially true for parents with multiple children.
CCDBG is so underfunded that only 1 in 7 children who currently qualify for it actually have access to it.
51% of ALL children ages 0-6 live in communities that are considered child care deserts (more children then licensed child care spaces available).
Licensed child care centers (8,889) and licensed homes (6,957) closed their doors forever between December 2019 and March 2022.
The low return on investment is very often a deterrent to individuals capable and interested in becoming owners of a child care center. This occurs more often in rural and lower economic areas.
Approximately 2M women have dropped out of the work place between 2019 and 2021 many due to child care challenges.
As an industry we are recognized for RESILENCE as it pertains to hanging in there and doing the best we can with what we have. Unfortunately, resilience doesn’t pay the bills. If we want to continue serving families, we must become UNITED, RESILENT and DETERMINED ADVOCATES. Being a member of the NCCA allows you to easily participate in advocating for YOURSELF and the FAMILIES YOU SERVE! Stay tuned as the NCCA works alongside our national advocacy partners to determine upcoming ACTION STEPS in our ongoing efforts to get the federal investment needed to ensure that all working families have accessibility to affordable child care and NOT at the continued expense of those that provide it.

The Challenges of Providing Child Care October 23, 2021
In July, NAEYC surveyed child care providers and educators nationwide about the challenges of providing and working in child care.Over 6000 providers and educators responded.
In summary, this is what the survey results were regarding the topic of STAFF and COMPENSATION: – 81% of the respondents said it is the same or more difficult to recruit and retain qualified educators now than before the pandemic with fully half of them saying it is more difficult – 78% of the respondents identified wages as the main recruitment challenge – 81% of the respondents say that low wages are a key reason that educators are leaving the field – 54% cited a lack of benefits – 33% pointed to exhaustion and burnout – Only 8% said regulations were a key challenge
Advocates, these are great facts to share with your Lead Agency, State Legislators, and even your Governor when asking for their help in SAVING the ESSENTIAL Business of Child Care so other essential businesses are able to employ the people they need to do business!

Important Info on ARP Stimulus Funds October 13, 2021
Are you still waiting to receive your share of the ARP stimulus funds provided to child care?If you are still waiting, you are far from alone. Unfortunately over half of the states have yet to provide any or most of these funds to their childcare providers. As you may recall the American Rescue Plan that was passed in March of this year provided $39B to help childcare. $15B of it was added to the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and the other $24B was set aside to help stabilize the child care infrastructure. The Administration of Child and Family Services provided states the following information which encouraged them to use their additional CCDBG money for the following purposes:
Prioritize using the funds to raise subsidy payment rates
Increase child care workforce compensation
Take bold steps to support children’s development needs, choices for parents and increased access to assistance for families
In addition, the guidance encouraged:
– Supply-building activities, including care for infants and toddlers and care during non-traditional hours – Setting payments based on the cost of quality, rather than traditional market rate survey – Expanding the use of grants and contracts to support program stability and supply building – Paying child care subsidies based on children’s enrollments rather than attendance
The additional $24B was designated for child care stabilization grants. The goal of the grants is to provide financial relief to child care providers to help defray unexpected business costs associated with the pandemic and to help stabilize their operations so that they may continue to provide care. Child care providers may use subgrants to cover a range of expenses such as personnel costs; rent or mortgage payments; insurance; facility maintenance and improvements; personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID-related supplies, training and professional development related to health and safety practices; goods and services needed to resume providing care; mental health supports for children and early educators; and reimbursement of costs associated with the current public health emergency. To date, only 20 states have posted grant applications for their providers. We know that many of you are trying to figure out how to get your Governor, Legislators, or Lead Agencies to move this process along so that you as providers can receive the money your federal legislators wanted you to have.

Important Info on Child Tax Credit Payments September 13, 2021
We want to share with you the latest information as it relates to the Advance Child Tax Credit 2021. As you know, these payments are an expansion of the Child Tax Credit and allow parents to get up to fifty percent of their credit in advance by the 15th of each month, between July 15 through December 15, 2021. The remaining portion of the credit can be claimed when the parent files their tax return next filing season. This money can quickly add up to a significant amount and can help parents who have been struggling financially.
Click here to access the Child Tax Credit Update Portal.
Although the IRS has already issued advance payments to over 39 million households based on information provided on their 2020 tax returns, there may be some families missing out, because the IRS does not have the most current information available, such as mailing address, or financial account information to receive the convenience of direct deposit. As a result, this week’s message focuses on the new address feature on the Child Tax Credit Update Portal, which is available on irs.gov. Generally, updates entered into the portal can take up to seven calendar days to be reflected on an account. As a result, if a parent would like their advance payment mailed to their new address in time for the fourth installment (October 15 payment), then the information must be entered into the portal no later than October 4, 2021.

Sadly, since the start of the pandemic there has been an increase in tax scams involving Economic Impact Payments, unemployment compensation, and now advance child tax payments. Please be vigilant!

Congress is moving forward with a reconciliation bill that could include the long-term, sustainable investments in child care that parents and providers are desperate for. Your Members of Congress need to hear from you about why these investments are vital to creating a more equitable, affordable, and accessible child care system in America.
Speak up for child care now!
Thank you for your continued advocacy,

TAKE ACTION: FIGHT FOR CHILD CARE FUNDING July 31, 2021
Lawmakers in D. C. are working out the details of the next federal budget, which could be transformative for child care. But these critical investments aren’t promised and we have to fight to ensure that child care isn’t sacrificed during these budget negotiations. We need a game-changing investment in child care, and we need it now. Why? The pandemic has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that child care is the backbone of our economy. We can’t go back to the broken pre-pandemic status quo. We must ensure that: Families can afford child care (adding up to no more than 7% of their income)Families can actually FIND child care. Child care workers earn a living wage
Tell your elected officials: Fund child care now!
Funding child care now means that women and families will have a chance at a real recovery. Now is the time for Congress to address America’s child care crisis with a significant investment in our early education system to ensure every family can access the care options that work for them. This is a crucial moment for the future of families and child care providers. Your representatives need to hear from you immediately.
Tell Congress: we need child care funding, and we need it now.
Sincerely, Melissa Boteach she/her Vice President for Income Security and Child Care/Early Learning National Women’s Law Center

More COVID Relief Coming Your Way! Published 1/25/2021
Dear Members:
As you know, 2021 has begun with the highest increase in Covid-19 cases throughout the United States. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to make doing business as high-quality child care providers and educators more difficult than ever before. As essential businesses, we have continued to keep the doors safely open in order to serve individuals that must go to work.
Fortunately, at the end of December, Congress finally passed a long awaited second COVID Relief Package which includes $10 billion additional dollars allocated to the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG). This is on top of the FY2021 budgeted amount of $5.9 billion for the CCDBG and more than double of what the CARES Act provided previously ($3 billion).
Similar to the CARES Act these funds can be used to:
Reduce family copays and tuition.
Cover COVID related expenses for child care providers whether or not they are serving subsidy children.
Cover the cost of staff salaries.
Care for children of essential workers regardless of income.
Cover the cost of reopening or operating a center at reduced capacity and more.
It is important to note that the Lead Child Care Agency in your State and your Governor have 60 days from the passage of the bill to report their intentions for using the CCDBG emergency funds. It would be prudent for all of you receiving this information to contact your Lead Agency and your Governor’s office either by phone or email to provide feedback on what you need to keep your center viable. They will then have until October 31st, 2022 to report how they spent it.
Here you will find additional detail regarding how this money can be used and how much each state is expected to receive of the $10 billion.
It should also be noted that the Biden Administration has already proposed another $40 billion in emergency funds to be provided to child care in another stimulus bill. All the more reason to be vocal with your Governor, State Legislators, and your Lead Agency on what is needed by providers and educators to keep high quality available and affordable NOW and BEYOND. If they do not hear from enough of you, they will make the decision for you. Share this information with parents and business leaders so they know that their voice can also help child care get what is needed to be open and safe during this time. Call or email us if you need help with creating a message that you are comfortable with delivering.
Keep the faith and hang in there! YOU are and have always been the most essential of the essential!
Sincerely,
Cindy Lehnhoff Your NCCA Director

About the Center – NTsZD
Federal State Autonomous Institution “National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Director – Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor – Fisenko Andrey Petrovich.
The history of the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health dates back to the middle of the 18th century. It began to function as a “hospital for children” at the Imperial Moscow Orphanage on the basis of the Manifesto of Catherine II of September 1, 1763. The Orphanage was transformed into the House for the Protection of the Baby in 1918, and then into the State Scientific Institute for the Protection of Motherhood and Infancy (1923) . In 1945, the institution became part of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR as a research institute of pediatrics. At 19In 98, by merging the Research Institute of Pediatrics and the Research Institute of Hygiene and Children’s Health, the Scientific Center for Children’s Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences was created. Now the Center is over 255 years old.
Since 2015, the Center has become subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Health. The uniqueness of the country’s leading pediatric center lies in the harmonious combination of fundamental and applied research with the provision of multidisciplinary high-tech medical care for children and the training of scientific and medical personnel.
Today, the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health is the Center for Leadership, which has a special role in shaping the Strategy for the Development of Children’s Health in Russia and the implementation of the main directions of the Decade of Childhood (2018-2027).
The Center is structured in such a way that both in scientific and practical terms, we solve multidisciplinary issues of prevention, diagnosis, high-tech treatment, rehabilitation, hygiene and health care for children and adolescents.
Today, the Center effectively employs: the Research Institute of Pediatrics and the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents, the Institute of Pediatric Surgery and the Institute of Medical Personnel Training, the Center for Child Psychoneurology, the Center for Fundamental Research in Pediatrics and the Center for Psychological and Pedagogical Assistance in Pediatrics.
The Center employs highly qualified specialists, including 5 Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 36 professors, 4 Honored Workers of Science of the Russian Federation, 4 Honored Doctors of the Russian Federation, 70 Doctors and 150 Candidates of Sciences. The employees of the Center have repeatedly become laureates of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology.
All types of medical care, including specialized and high-tech, are provided in the conditions of a round-the-clock stay in the clinic, day hospital and consultative and diagnostic center. New medical and organizational forms of work have made it possible to annually increase the number of treated patients by 1.5 times. All types of research at the Center are publicly available to children in all regions of the Russian Federation.
With the opening in 2014 of a new high-tech scientific and clinical complex of pediatrics and pediatric surgery with unique equipment, the quality and volume of care provided in the field of pediatrics, pediatric surgery and public health have significantly improved.
All departments of the Center have modern scientific and medical equipment, which makes it possible to conduct world-class fundamental and applied research in priority areas of science development and critical technologies, approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Scientifically substantiated and widely used innovative methods of treatment of severe forms of rheumatic, allergic, nephrological, neurological diseases and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children.
Successfully implemented new methods of vaccination and rehabilitation of children with impaired health, including those born with very low and extremely low body weight.
The Center has more than 30 years of experience in the active use of telemedicine and remote access technologies in pediatrics, using the latest achievements in the field of communication technologies, which makes it possible to make consultations and educational lectures of its specialists available to everyone who has the means of modern communication. Thanks to telemedicine, the Center can reach its full potential in helping children with various forms of pathology and develop new methods of digital support for clinical decision-making and medical data processing.
The Center has a specialized dissertation council with the right to accept for the defense of doctoral and master’s theses in 3 specialties (pediatrics, pediatric surgery, public health and healthcare).
Every year more than 100 residents and postgraduates study at the Center using the facilities of a highly specialized simulation and training center. In its structure: intensive care units, intensive care units for newborns and older children, an operating block, rooms for practicing practical skills in pediatrics, pediatric surgery, traumatology and orthopedics, as well as a conference room for lecture courses.
The Center is a clinical base for a number of departments of pediatric faculties of the First Moscow State Medical University. THEM. Sechenov (Sechenov University) and RNIMU them. N.I. Pirogov.
The Center unites children’s doctors of the country for joint clinical, scientific and educational activities: annual congresses of Russian pediatricians, thematic scientific and practical conferences, schools for specialists are held. The sessions are broadcast over the Internet and are in great demand among pediatricians and scientists in the Russian Federation and other countries.
The Center is the developer of numerous documents at the federal level aimed at improving medical care, maintaining and restoring the health of children in the Russian Federation: additions were made to the “Procedure for the provision of pediatric care to children”, proposals for draft professional standards “Specialist in the field of healthcare organization” and “Assistant (assistant) for the provision of technical assistance to persons with disabilities and disabilities”, as well as proposals to revise the order of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Russia No. 464n “On classifications and criteria used in the implementation of medical and social examination of citizens by federal state institutions of medical and social examination” and additions to the draft order of the Ministry of Health of Russia “On approval of the range of medical services”. The Center’s specialists are the key developers of the approved professional standard “District Pediatrician”.
On the basis of the National Research Center for Children’s Health of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the working group “Child-Friendly Health and Healthy Lifestyle” of the Coordinating Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the implementation of the most important provisions of the National Strategy for Action in the Interests of Children operates.
In accordance with the order of the Russian Ministry of Health, the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health provides creative and advisory support to pediatricians and pediatric surgeons from all regions of Russia.
3 Areas to Focus on When Growing Your Child Care Business
As a child care director or owner you may feel overwhelmed at times. Often you are pulled in many different directions, leading to a lack of clarity and focus in your work. There’s simply not enough time in a day to do all the things you would like to do.
When I was a director I often found it hard to determine where my focus should be and where I should spend my time and resources. I would question what priorities would add the most value to my center and where my limited time could best be spent on a daily basis.
As leaders in the child care business, being strategic about how we spend our time is essential to success. It is so easy to let time lead us where it will. If we aren’t intentional about our time, it will be used up in everyday tasks, preventing the ability to grow our center(s) or reach other business or personal goals. There is a popular maxim attributed to Bill Gates which reads, “people tend to overestimate what they can do in the short term, and underestimate what they can do in the long term”.
Evidence shows that people who manage their time effectively are able to reach seemingly unreachable goals by managing their time, maintaining their focus, and chipping away at their goal bit by bit. In order to succeed in this way, however, you first need to choose an intentional area (or areas) of focus.
Today I want to talk about three areas that require intentional focus as a child care leader. It is these three areas that will set you apart from the rest and set you up for success whatever your goals might be. Don’t just dabble in these areas though, you are much more likely to succeed if you schedule small amounts of time every week to deal with them and stick with it for the long-term!
Enrollment
Centers that are growing are intentional about their focus on growth and enrollment. What this means is you are carving out time each day to connect with potential families, tour them around your facility and follow up with them.
What I have seen more often than not is that centers connect with families and carry out tours but forget to follow up. Add a list of follow-ups as an item on your weekly calendar or use software to connect and engage with parents. Call every person who has been interested in your center in the last two months but hasn’t signed up yet. You’d be surprised at how much enrollment you can gain by simply following up – we all need a reminder sometimes!
Staff
Always remember that your staff are the beating heart of your center. They are the hands and feet that provide the safety, care, and education that clients are looking for. Show your appreciation for their hard work by spending some time each day or week recognizing your team. Specific and positive feedback can work wonders for staff morale and costs absolutely nothing. When a kind word or note doesn’t seem like enough, something I have done in the past is walk around with $5 coffee cards in my pocket and hand them out to staff members who were going above and beyond. This is another great way to not only acknowledge their hard work but also encourage them to keep it up.
On top of recognition I also recommend getting to know each staff member individually. This could mean popping your head in the classroom for a few minutes to say hi, asking what they need from time to time, or just taking time to chat occasionally. The more you know your staff, the better you can support them. Having a personal relationship with each staff member will also help decrease turnover and increase overall staff satisfaction. Less time hiring means more qualified staff and more time for you to grow your center!
Families
Whether you intend to grow your child care center in size, reputation, or both, you can’t lose sight of your current customers. There is something magical that happens when you know each family in your center on a personal level. Their trust in your work increases as you create a bond that goes beyond a business transaction. This not only puts parents at ease, it leads to better and more frequent referrals, while increasing job satisfaction for you and your staff.
One way to do this is to schedule at least 5-10 minutes around drop off or pick up to make yourself available to the families in your center. This is a great time for small talk and simple relationship building. When these relationships are strong it also makes it easier to deal with any issues that may arise. Because you’ve built a relationship, parents will be more likely to approach you early with any issues and allow you to deal with it more effectively, without confrontation.
Final Notes
Remember: a small amount of time invested each day in the short-term will lead to a huge return on investment in the long-term! Making SMART goals and setting time aside for each of the three points discussed above will allow you to grow your center and develop your effectiveness as a leader. Developing good leadership habits by planning ahead to intentionally address enrollment, staff, and family priorities will enable on-going personal, staff, and client growth, ensuring that your center(s) reach their full potential!

About Our Programs
Enroll Today!
At Growing Kids Learning Centers, we are more than just a child care center. Rather than just watching your children while you are at work, we help them learn new skills, develop, and grow. We created programs that help your young child develop new skills and prepare them for the next years of their life.
We have locations in South Bend, Elkhart, Valparaiso, Goshen, Plymouth, Warsaw, and Chesterton, which allows you to find the location nearest you! We even have four different locations in South Bend.
About Our Child Care Programs
Children want to learn. Our job is to help them with structured, age-appropriate, educational programs that are challenging and fun. Our programs start for children as young as six weeks old. This allows your child to start learning and growing as early as possible in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
It’s important for children to realize their full potential at every stage of development — intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. The Creative Curriculum for early childhood offers stimulating learning opportunities for students of every age, starting at six weeks and continuing through after-school age. And we do it in a fun-to-learn fashion. Don’t be surprised to hear your child ask, “Guess what I learned today?” after a day at our child care center.
During your child’s time at Growing Kids Learning Centers, they will be able to develop a variety of different skills that will help them in the next stages of life. Each of our programs works together to help further develop these skills and allow your child to continue to grow.
INFANT CARE PROGRAM
Our infant care program allows your little one to explore and grow in a loving and nurturing environment. Your baby will enjoy activities that help with their development and allows them to learn new skills. Babies as young as six weeks old can be enrolled in this program and once they start walking, they will graduate to our toddler program!
TODDLER CARE AND YOUNG PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Once your little one starts walking, they will become a part of our toddler and young preschool program. Your little explorer will have a chance to learn new things and develop their skills further. Children will be able to explore and learn as they take part in different activities that are stimulating and encourage growth. Our curriculum for this program focuses on learning through motion and movement. Your child will be in this program until they are two years old.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
At Growing Kids, we believe that preschool is not just used to prepare your child for regular school, we believe it is their educational foundation. For us, this is the most important grade where your child will learn and build a foundation in which they will continue to grow. We create a nurturing and stimulating environment that will help your child through this important time in their lives. We use structured, open-ended play activities that stimulate emotional, cognitive, physical, and social development. Our preschool program is for children three years and up.
SCHOOL-AGE CARE PROGRAM
We also offer a child care program for school-aged children. This is an after-school program that allows your older kids to be cared for while you are finishing work or running to appointments. We understand that life can get busy and you can’t always be ready to pick your child up from elementary school when they get out. This program allows them to spend time in a nurturing and stimulating place while they wait for you. Even if your child is on a spring break or has a day off that you can’t take off of work, we can watch them! They will be able to take part in fun activities and engage with other children. This after-school program is for school-aged children.
We also offer awesome camps for kids that are fun, active, and entertaining. We offer a summer, winter, spring, and fall camp that provides your child with time spent outside, meals, fun games, and educational activities. If you can’t take off work during your child’s breaks from school, our camps are a great option. They will love all of the activities, make new friends, and be entertained day after day!
Growing Kids Learning Centers is a great place for your child to grow. Our stimulating and nurturing environment will help them develop new skills that they will be able to use throughout the rest of their lives. They will learn about different subjects, engage with other kids, and be able to explore their curiosities. If you are looking for a child care center that allows your kid to grow through each program, Growing Kids Learning Centers in Northern Indiana is a great option. Contact us with any questions you may have and learn more about our center today! We look forward to helping your child grow and develop throughout these early and important years of their life

We provide the tools and environment to help children reach their potential in a culture of learning that is both challenging and stimulating.
Our Programs
Growing Years is a privately owned preschool and child care center built specifically with children in mind. Our facilities and programs have been designed to provide quality care and education for children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Our goals are based upon developmentally appropriate practice in order to make the most of the time we have with your child. Perhaps our biggest goal is to help each child see himself as God sees each one of us – as unique individuals, full of worth and purpose.

Our Curriculum
Research theorists and educators agree that any relevant curriculum needs to be based on children’s needs, learning styles, developmental levels, and appropriateness. Much of what is planned also needs to be child initiated so that children have a vested interest and natural curiosity for what they’re learning. Then finally, assessment needs to be an ongoing part of curriculum, because planning what is best for children is driven by observations/assessments and knowing each child and their specific, individual needs. This is what leads to the most effective planning and success in learning.

After School
The best kinds of afterschool programs offer a balance of academics, recreation, enrichment, and character building activities. Those are the kinds of things we include at Growing Years! Besides focusing on homework assignments and tutoring, we also provide opportunities for unstructured play, activity clubs, snack, and outside time. Obviously, there needs to be a balance in what we do and this balance is based on the ages of the children and the needs of participating families.

Our Values
Growing Years Christian School and Child Care Center, first and foremost, was built on non-denominational Christian principles and values. Our primary hope is to glorify God in all that we do here at Growing Years, because we have been blessed with the opportunity to serve Him. Also, that as Christians and educators, we are responsible for every aspect of a child’s growth, including building strong Christian character. So besides our academic curriculum and the Peddlesfoots, we also help children learn about Godly principles based on our weekly Bible lessons that we have developed for that purpose.

Astreya Family Center was 4 years old on June 1, 2019.

Text: ASTREA STYLE. Photo: ASTREA STYLE
About how the Center lives and develops, what a modern family can look like and what is considered the norm today, we talked with Natalia Anatolyevna Gerasimova , its CEO and founder.
Natalya Anatolyevna, how do you assess the dynamics of the Center’s development?
I can’t even believe that four years have already passed. My primary motivation for opening the Center was this: to solve the problems that my own younger children have, and to help those children who have similar ones. I thought – I will open such an organization, I will work while my guys grow up. And this is getting more and more addictive every year – the case turned out to be very exciting! I already studied remedial methods, but I began to look more actively at the methods of development and education, the concepts of development of different schools – and it turned out that many development centers, private schools are created by parents! Yes, and development and training methods were often born due to some circumstances and difficulties in the development of children, and their talented parents developed their own approaches.
Can the creation of such a Center be compared in terms of labor costs, degree of involvement, emotional intensity, and finally, with the birth of a child?
Of course! For me, any project is like a child. I am absolutely involved in the process, and the attitude is the same – reverent and responsible. I like to start and put on my feet new projects.
So you see how this “child” lives and develops. What is the difference between when he was a year old and now?
I was worried when I called the organization a family center, not a children’s center, but a family center. I was terribly criticized by marketers, they said: why blur the format, it becomes fuzzy. They strongly recommended choosing a specific niche – either a correctional center, or a developing one, or a psychological one. Indeed, it is easier to take a franchise of mental arithmetic and do only it. But time has shown that we are on the right track. And today such centers, where there is correctional work for the child, developmental programs, work with family problems, plus a developing, personal approach, exist in many cities. And in terms of the breadth of services provided, we today resemble state social support centers, but on a commercial basis, where there is comfort and personalization. Over the years, there has been a steady growth in turnover, and people are interested in this format. We do not provide care and supervision – we help in personal development, in the case of our Center this is a key point, since, for example, children with the need for an individual approach and correction have an even more unique way of their development. Again, the concept of the norm today has changed radically compared to the concept, say, 20 years ago.
What’s the difference?
Today the boundaries of the norm have blurred and become wider. Take, for example, the concept of “family”. The norm today is those relationships that suit all participants in these same relationships. There are many types of families and partnerships. Young people are in no hurry to formalize relationships – and when a child is born, several crises fall on them at once. Parents often ask about relationships with children – what is the right way? That’s right – it’s how they agree. And if they, for example, do not know how to negotiate? Much is written and said about this, but there are still no practical courses “how to live in partnership” en masse.
A child needs both mom and dad, their confidence in relation to each other at least, even better – sincere friendship with each other and with the child, and even better – close emotional relationships, love and support: this is the child’s biggest support for his entire life. life.
A very common problem: the child did not talk on his own in time, behaves strangely, and does not know how to communicate with peers. And we help families, children and their parents, we teach in some ways, we support in some ways, especially families with children with behavioral and developmental difficulties. The credo of our Center: “I am in comfort.” If I am comfortable, this is about a strong flexible person who has a strong resource state, is able to replenish his resources, develop and be happy, despite the various challenges of the outside world. Such a person is able to adaptively respond to constantly changing conditions.
Can you give an example of a request families come to you with?
Yes, recently a mother of three children, aged 10, 7 and 5, came to us. The family is entering a difficult period: they are going to change their country of residence, the eldest girl goes to school, learns English, the second goes to school. Everyone has a lot of work to do, a change in their way of life. And the family needs support – how to go through these difficulties more gently. Our experts will help in this case. For example, we help to switch to a family form of education and adapt to it, because a child does not have to be sent to school. Our Center has all the conditions for studying from grade zero to grade five. It is unpopular due to only one fact: it costs parents money and time. But when the question is about the quality of education, you have to turn to tutors or teach children yourself – this is the truth of today’s life. It is the parents who decide how their child will be educated. By the way, now there are more and more requests for family education.
• 120 training programs, advanced training, interdisciplinary courses were completed by the specialists of the Center in 4 years.
• A program has been developed to improve the qualifications of psychologists.
• Within 4 years we have developed 3 children’s development programs – early childhood, eurogarden, a comprehensive program for the formation of verbal communication.
How would you briefly formulate the mission of the Astreya Family Center?
Support and development of a loving family. We are ready to help parents realize what parenting is, teach the secrets and “chips” of this skill, motherhood, fatherhood, and provide support to families with children with developmental problems. First of all, these are children with behavioral features – attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with delayed speech development. And also guys with sensory modulation disorders, peculiarities of information perception. And all this work was in great demand. This is evidenced by at least this fact: a year ago we moved from an area of 125 square meters to a room of 535 square meters. And our halls and offices for the year decently filled.
Will you scale the Center?
The idea is to create playgrounds where baby groups will work and interact with mothers – this is interesting to me. The program “Parents Academy” – I will deal with it even more closely: a strong family is the best contribution of parents to the development of their child. We have our own channel on Youtube – we will rock it. My work as a coach with women continues – this year we decided to create a business environment. We will help women create their own business. Young mothers with grown up children come to me with a request to create their own business, to become a freelancer, they study their abilities, their talents, look for meaning and purpose. They often need someone to talk to openly about their desires without a stream of constant evaluation. I am very interested in this topic. Modern young women are ready and able to start their own business. But they do not find support among their environment. And for a successful start, and the continuation of the project, you need a lot of it, often you need a third-party positive look. I myself am a resource person, I have extensive experience in coaching and in business – I can help an entrepreneur see the bigger picture and find resources within himself to overcome difficulties and build work.
How did you form a successful team of the Center?
When I started the interviews, I was a little worried: would there be such “burning” people on the topic of family values. But it turned out that such people exist! I was lucky – I found a lot of like-minded people. Now my colleague, Head of Educational Programs Natalya Alexandrovna Stryapuhina, will actually manage the Center, she is one of the first who supported the family format and shared with me the point of view that the condition of the child is very dependent on the condition of other family members. She knows how to see psychologists and teachers among young professionals and students with similar values. It should be noted that in our country there is a big movement towards developmental education. And although it is impossible to embrace the immensity, we will strive!
• Over the past 4 years, we have held more than 25 events ourselves.
• Took part in more than 50 city events.
• Every year we hold a large summer art festival for at least 250 families, free of charge for all participants.
• More than 10,000 free consultations conducted by our specialists at various events and in our Center.

Ten thousand children have been born within the walls of a bright and spacious institution during this time – at the time of publication of the material, obviously, even more.
The center is like a city within a city, a third-level hospital, a home for expectant mothers with complicated pregnancy. Women from all over Primorye are rescued here – with premature pregnancy, various diseases and pathologies. Nursing newborns with low and extreme low body weight. The built-in system of departments, schools, consultations, methods, technologies allows you to observe the mother and child from the moment of conception. The perinatal center, built within the framework of the state program “Development of Health in Primorsky Krai” for 2013-2020, is multidisciplinary and multifunctional, has its own diagnostic center and a well-equipped laboratory. A healthy lifestyle, family values, the fight against abortion and abandonment of children, the involvement of fathers in the school of partner births – the life of the center is seething, it is full of events. Candidate of Medical Sciences, Chief Physician, doctor of the highest qualification category Tatiana KURLEEVA .
Growth time
– Tatyana Yurievna, the perinatal center was built on the initiative of the Russian government, she was actively supported by the regional authorities. How did it all start three years ago?

– The institution was created at a time when infant mortality in Primorye exceeded Russian rates, today they have been reduced by more than two times, including through the efforts of specialists from the Perinatal Center. We will continue to keep this bar. We have gone through a difficult period of formation – after all, initially the complex of buildings was intended for traumatology, and in a short time it had to be re-profiled. Open all departments, divide patient flows, obtain licenses. Here we lived, spent the night, argued with the builders, and coordinated everything necessary with higher authorities. Starting from thresholds that need to be passed with wheelchairs to equipping the wards with warning systems. The Primorye project was extremely necessary, first of all, for pregnant women with a high degree of risk.
– The center is famous for its state-of-the-art equipment. And they say that no technique can replace a highly qualified specialist. This is true?
– For me, as a manager, personnel policy is the basis of the basics. In a short period of time, we managed to rally a good team, thanks to this, we gradually open all departments of the perinatal center. The staff includes 547 specialists, including support staff. Seven candidates of medical sciences, most of them are doctors of the highest qualification category. We work closely with the Pacific Medical University, where young specialists come from. For advanced training, we organize visiting cycles of training abroad – to Austria, Japan, Germany. Within the walls of the center, we hold seminars by leading specialists who teach proper care, innovative methods of therapy for premature babies. Our doctors are active participants in the annual Pacific Medical Congress. This year, they showed their worth at the All-Russian Forum “Health of the Nation – the Basis for the Prosperity of Russia” with the project “Mom and Sport”. His presentation was highly appreciated by both healthcare professionals and the public. This achievement was marked by gratitude from the regional health department.
– In what directions is the center developing?
– For example, today there is a department for dynamic monitoring of young children, where mothers of young patients from zero to three years old apply. Significant for the center department “II stage of nursing”. There is a great prospect in the development of the “Center for Women’s Reproductive Health”, we are closely dealing with the problems of infertility with married couples. We opened a department of habilitation, adaptation to the life of young patients, a molecular genetic laboratory, where hidden infections of the body, risks of hereditary diseases are quickly and accurately detected. All this became possible thanks to modern technologies and narrow specialists – neonatologists, anesthesiologists, obstetricians-gynecologists, resuscitators, ophthalmologists, surgeons, psychologists, etc. The BARS information system is being introduced: now the doctor can quickly, using a computer database, get the necessary data about the patient. Women’s consultation works separately. It is important that the chain of succession exists at all stages – from the desire to get a long-awaited pregnancy, to endure it until the birth of a child. Today, in order to receive a complete examination, those women who want to become a mother do not need to travel abroad.
From norm to sensation
– When are pregnant women referred to the Perinatal Center?
– It is open to all residents of the Primorsky Territory, and is prepared to provide assistance to a woman with premature birth at any time. Routing is clearly defined by the regional health department. From different cities and regions of Primorye, the patient can be delivered by air ambulance or a special ambulance. I just spoke with the chief obstetrician-gynecologist of the region: a woman is being transported to us for a period of 28 weeks from Dalnegorsk. She is accompanied by a medical team.
– Is it force majeure?
– And they are not uncommon. The reasons are different. For example, in rural areas, women are engaged in agriculture, and during pregnancy, this is an additional physical activity, hence premature birth. Unfortunately, the patient’s health index is quite low. Girls’ early sexual debuts are also bad for their reproductive systems.
– 16% of the patients of the center – premature birth, the rest of the women are at risk of perinatal losses. This year alone, we have received four patients with cancer. Their dream of becoming a mother has come true, and it’s worth a lot. Women with kidney pathologies, arterial hypertension, intrauterine growth retardation, and multiple pregnancies are admitted.
– Twins or more?
– Twins have become the norm. In just nine months of this year, 63 twins, seven triplets and one quintuplets were born within our walls, which glorified us all over the world, without exaggeration becoming a sensation. I remember how back in 2007, when there was no center, a married couple was sent to give birth to five in London.
– Did the mother of five children from Nakhodka enter the Perinatal Center in advance?
– She was here from 28 to 32 weeks pregnant. The woman was literally surrounded by the attention of the staff, we gathered consultations, thinking through every step. I am grateful to my colleagues, who showed promptness in the process of delivery, carried out resuscitation at a high level, transferring the babies to their mother for nursing. Five newborns occupied two wards in the department, each was placed in an incubator, oxygen was connected. A big role and nurses who taught nursing not only mom, but also dad.
– Is the role of the father in partner childbirth not passive?
– Not at all! The father of the family does not just decorate the space, but helps the woman in labor. Everything is important – attentive attitude, massage, breathing exercises, even how to properly approach your wife. This is what we teach for free at the “School of Partner Childbirth”. The support of the father is also necessary at the second stage of bearing those who are in a hurry to be born.
– Is there a sport for pregnant women?
– We invite trainers in jiu-jitsu, aerobics, gymnastics to the center, there is a gym where specialists teach breathing exercises. We help women to form the right nutrition system. We are for a healthy lifestyle.
We never get bored. We organize beauty days, New Year’s carnivals, poetry evenings. We carry out prevention of abortions and abandonment of children. And if three years ago there were 26 children-refuseniks, today there are five. A prayer room is open, because many pregnant women have a desire to communicate with God, and the rite of baptism of children takes place here. The all-Russian project “School of parents of premature babies” has been developed. By the way, the beauty around the buildings – flower beds, a cherry orchard, planted spruces, memorial alleys of veterans – is the work of employees and patients. Happiness when young parents leave with a smile, leaving us a piece of their warmth. Did you pay attention to our favorite art object “The Tree of Life” in the lobby, where photos of our kids – “early birds” are attached to the branches? There is no more room on that tree.

Cherry – planting, care and varieties for the Moscow region
Cherry is a fruit crop that is equally loved by adults and children. Its fruits are used to make jams, preserves, compote. Fresh cherries are useful, because they contain a large amount of vitamins and trace elements. From our article, you will learn how to grow a woody plant in your garden, how to properly care for it, and the best cherry varieties for the Moscow region.
What is cherry
Cherry is a woody plant of the Rosaceae family. It is characterized by rapid growth, especially at a young age. It has an ovoid crown, but during growth it can change shape, turning from ovoid to cone-shaped. A characteristic feature of the tree is the shoots of 2 types: brachyblasts and auxiblasts.
The root system of sweet cherries is predominantly horizontal, but vertical roots can develop under good conditions. The formation of the tap root occurs only during 1–2 years of the life of the culture, after which it branches.
Sweet cherries have 3 types of buds:
generative;
vegetative;
mixed type.
They are placed on growth and fruit shoots. Cherry propagates by seeds, roots and stumps. It is self-infertile and requires the planting of several trees for its pollination.
The most frost-resistant varieties for the middle lane are:
Pamyat Syubarova;
Tyutchevka;
North;
Revna;
Fatezh.
Resistant to spring frost Italian and Fatezh. Varieties Chermashnaya and Sinyavskaya are most suitable for cultivation in the south of the Moscow region.
How to choose cherry seedlings and where to buy
The future crop yield and development depends on which cherry seedling you plant. A healthy seedling should have a well-developed root system, and there should be no damage on the trunk. There must be a trace of vaccination on the trunk.
It is best to buy tree seedlings in trusted nurseries, one of which is KFH Fruktovy sad. Only from us you can purchase healthy and strong cherry seedlings at affordable prices with delivery across Russia.
Planting sweet cherries
In regions with a warm climate, planting a tree is carried out in the fall a couple of weeks before the first frost. In other regions, it is recommended to plant a crop in the spring before the buds swell.
The seat must be well lit and protected from cold wind. Groundwater should not be too high, as vertical roots can reach several meters in length. It is impossible to use a site in a lowland for landing due to stagnation of melt water in the spring.
The ideal soil for planting sweet cherries is sandy loam or nutrient loam. The culture grows poorly or dies in areas with clay, sand and peat soil.
Sweet cherries need to be cross-pollinated, for this reason, pollinators should grow next to them. To do this, it is necessary to plant a few more sweet cherries next to the tree, but of different varieties. Cherry can also act as a pollinator, but you should choose a crop variety that would coincide with the cherry in flowering time.
Planting cherries in autumn
If you plan to plant a seedling in autumn, then you should carry out some preparations in advance. 20 days before planting, dig up the area, add 0.18 kg of superphosphate mixed with a bucket of humus and 100 g of potash fertilizer per 1 square meter of land. Also, as a fertilizer, you can use special top dressing for cherries and cherries (0.2 kg of fertilizer is required per 1 square meter).
Acidic soil requires liming. Apply 600–800 g of lime per 1 square meter to heavy loam, 400–500 g to sandy loam soil. Carry out the procedure a week before top dressing.
The planting site should be dug up 15 days before planting. The diameter of the pit should be at least 1 m, the depth should be 60–80 cm. When digging the pit, discard the top layer of soil in a separate place, in the future you will fill it with the root system of the tree. Place a peg in the center of the hole, to which, after planting, tie the seedling.
Topsoil mixed with 200 g superphosphate, 0. 5 kg wood ash, 60 g potassium sulphate and matured compost. Pour the roots of the seedling with this composition when planting.
You can plant crops in the garden until the ground freezes. After planting, water the tree with a bucket of water.
Spring planting of sweet cherries
Spring planting is almost the same as autumn planting. But there is one exception – the seat must be prepared in the fall. Dig a hole in October or November, then add compost to it. In this form, the pit will stand until spring.
After the snow melts and the soil dries out a little, add nitrogen mineral fertilizer to it. After a week, you can start planting a seedling.
Cherry care
Cherries are easy to care for. In the spring, before the buds swell, it is necessary to prune to form a crown. Pruning 2-3 skeletal branches, cut the rest into a ring. Make sure there are no stumps. Treat the cut site with garden pitch. If you did not have time to prune before the start of sap flow, reschedule the procedure for the next year.
For mature trees, sanitary and formative pruning is carried out in the spring before the start of sap flow. After the air temperature rises to 18 degrees, carry out preventive treatment of cherries from pests and diseases. Such a procedure will help to get rid of pathogens that hibernated in the surface of the trunk circle and the crop bark.
If, when planting a seedling, you applied all the necessary fertilizers to the soil, then re-fertilize only from the 4th year of the tree’s life. This rule is relevant only for phosphorus and potash top dressings, nitrogen should be applied annually. Apply nitrogen fertilizers in the spring and only after warm weather sets in. Carry out the next top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers at the end of May. Cherry is also grafted in the spring.
Summer care
In summer, loosen the soil on which cherries grow to a depth of up to 10 cm with a hoe or hand cultivator. Loosening is carried out the next day after watering the tree or rain. During the season, you need to water the culture from 3 to 5 times, while carefully monitoring the state of the culture. At the first sign of the appearance of pests or diseases on it, immediately begin processing.
In the summer, carry out formative pruning by pinching off shoots that do not grow properly. Also remove branches and stems that thicken the crown. Eliminate root offspring, otherwise they will begin to grow. The harvest is at the end of May or beginning of June.
In the middle of summer, feed a mature tree with potash and phosphorus fertilizers. Apply organic fertilizer to the soil in August. For the proper development and growth of the culture, make sure that the near-trunk circle of the tree is always clean.
Fall care
During the period of yellowing and leaf fall, usually in September-October, dig up the area near the sweet cherry to a depth of 10 cm. Before the start of mass leaf fall, water the tree. Collect and burn the leaves that have flown around, and process the tree itself to destroy pests and diseases.
The best varieties of sweet cherries
Below we will talk about the most popular varieties of sweet cherries that are suitable for growing in the Moscow region and other regions of the country.
Bull’s heart
This is a large-fruited sweet cherry, which by the age of 4–5 forms a strong crown of medium density. The height of an adult tree is 3–5 m.
A characteristic feature of the variety is not mass, but gradual maturation. As a rule, the fruits ripen in the second half of June or early July.
The weight of one fruit is 7–10 g. The fruits are not subject to transportation and long-term storage, as they quickly deteriorate. They burst easily, therefore, during the ripening period, it is necessary to limit the watering of the crop.
The heart of a bull needs pollinators, otherwise it does not bear fruit well. This variety calmly tolerates colds down to -25 degrees.
Large-fruited
This variety of sweet cherry has a significant weight – from 10. 4 to 12 g, in some cases the fruits can reach 18 g. The fruits have a thin but dense skin, which contributes to their long-term storage and transportation. Fruit ripening occurs in the second half of June.
Large-fruited sweet cherry begins to bear fruit early, the first harvest can be harvested 4 years after planting. On average, from 44 to 55 kg of berries can be harvested per season.
This crop variety has good drought and frost tolerance. Sweet cherries are not demanding for care, they do not need regular feeding. The disadvantages of a tree include the need for its pollination, otherwise the yield will be about 5%.
Franz Joseph
The optimal stock for this variety is steppe cherry. The tree itself is quite large, has a not very dense crown in the form of a wide oval.
Fruits are round or broad oval with a small groove in the middle. The color of the fruit is yellow with an amber tint. The size of one fruit is 5–8 g.
Franz Josef rarely begins to bear fruit from the age of 4, usually only from the 5th or 6th year. In the first years, the harvest is rather small, but already from the 7th year the tree begins to bear many fruits. Important: Franz Joseph needs to be cross-pollinated.
The fruits ripen towards the end of June. From a 10-year-old tree, you can collect 35 kg of berries from one tree, and from a 15-year-old tree – already 40 kg. The fruits have good transportability, they can be stored for a long time without loss of taste.
Valery Chkalov
Valery Chkalov is an early variety of sweet cherry, which is characterized by high yield and tasty fruits. The tree reaches a height of 6 m, begins to bear fruit for 5-6 years. From the first harvest, you can collect up to 17 kg of fruits, and after 10-15 years – up to 60 kg of sweet cherries. The weight of one fruit is 6–9 g.
Valery Chkalov is a frost-resistant cherry variety that can withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees. In case of freezing of the kidneys, it is likely that a third of the crop will be saved. Of the disadvantages, low resistance to fungal diseases should be noted.
Vasilisa
This cherry variety was bred in Ukraine. The Vasilisa cherry reaches a height of 4 m. The sweet cherry bears good fruits, the weight of one is 11–14 g. The tree begins to bear fruit already for 2 years. The fruits ripen in June, but if the summer is cold, then the harvest falls on July.
The advantages of the variety include good frost resistance and drought resistance, high yield, unpretentious care. The disadvantages of the variety include cracking of berries in case of frequent rains.
Dachnitsa
Cherry variety Dachnitsa is excellent for growing in the Astrakhan region and the North Caucasus region. Yellow fruits reach 9 g, ripen in mid-July. The variety is resistant to frost and drought, begins to bear fruit for 4 years.
Drogana yellow
Drogana yellow was developed in Germany. It is considered a versatile variety that produces yellow fruits. The weight of one berry is 6–8 g, the fruits ripen at the end of June.
Grade advantages:
excellent adaptation to various climatic conditions;
frost resistance;
short drought tolerance;
good tasting berries.
Cons:
poor transportability;
susceptibility to certain diseases.
Iskra
This sweet cherry variety has large fruits (up to 9 g). A distinctive feature of Iskra is resistance to frost and drought.
Krasa Kuban

Krasa Kuban belongs to the most winter-hardy varieties, the wood is extremely rarely damaged, and it shows insufficient resistance to frost. It calmly tolerates drought, while being affected by gray fruit rot.
Begins to bear fruit in 5–6 years, the variety is self-infertile.
Malyshka
This is a hybrid variety of cherries crossed with cherries. This hybrid was bred in Saratov, so it is often called the Saratov baby.
Harvest can be done in mid-June. From one bush you can collect up to 25 kg of berries. The baby is great for growing in the suburbs.
Melitopol black
This sweet cherry variety is zoned for cultivation in the south of the country. The average yield of a 16-year-old tree is approximately 80 kg. The fruits tolerate transportation well.
This cherry variety was bred in Melitopol. In height, the sweet cherry reaches 6 m, has a dense and spreading crown. Begins to bear fruit in 4 years with large berries weighing 6–8 g.
Melitopol black cherry is resistant to moniliosis. The culture is self-fertile and does not tolerate low temperatures well.

Acquaintance and friendship with the doctor
The first meeting of a child with a doctor is the most important! It is on her that the further attitude to one’s own health in general and dental care in particular depends. The first visit to the doctor should not be accompanied by treatment – we recommend that you limit yourself to a simple acquaintance.
The first visit to the doctor should not be accompanied by treatment, so we recommend that you bring your child to an orientation appointment before help is needed. This will help to form a positive impression and relieve the child of the fear of each next visit to the dentist.
It is best to schedule an appointment early in the day when the child is more active. The visit can last from 15 to 30 minutes, and depending on the age of the child, includes:
careful but thorough examination of the oral cavity to control growth and development and identify problem areas;
dental care and hygiene training.
Stomadim clinic specialists are true professionals in their field and find an individual approach to each child. The meeting takes place in a cozy office, and the light friendly atmosphere and sincere smile of the doctor will leave behind only positive emotions and relieve fear of the upcoming treatment.

Easy and calm
sedation helps baby calm down
Nitrous oxide sedation helps baby calm down and relax, this is especially important for energetic babies who find it difficult to stay still for a long time.
This method is being actively implemented in modern clinics. He is able to save the little patient from fear and excitement, to set him up for calm.
At the first appointment, the doctor will tell the little patient what will happen next time , the first treatment is best done under sedation. Sedation is not considered an alternative to anesthesia. Together with it, traditional methods of anesthesia are used.
Sedation helps the child to sit comfortably during the entire session in one place.
Ukhina Natalia Nikolaevna pediatric dentist
A mask is put on the baby’s nose, through which a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide is supplied. After a couple of minutes, the doctor can examine the baby’s oral cavity and begin treatment. The child can watch cartoons during treatment.
At the same time, the child feels completely relaxed, and he is not negatively disposed to what is happening around him. A child under “laughing gas” will not even feel how the dentist will administer painkillers and cure his teeth. Small children cannot sit in a chair for more than 5 minutes, but with sedation, the duration of the appointment can increase to 1 hour, which reduces the number of visits to the doctor by several times.
If you are going to be treated on your first visit
Be calm, natural and relaxed during the appointment so as not to disturb and, if necessary, reassure the child.
Try to get your child interested in the upcoming treatment and help them understand why it is important to take care of their dental health from an early age. Then the child will not feel fear of the dentist and will perceive what is happening as a fun game.
Helpful Hint: Play doctor games with your child before you go to the doctor’s office to get an idea of what’s in store for them.
If the child is afraid
Working with children in our clinic can definitely be called successful! When meeting, doctors determine how to work with a particular child and respond to a change in his behavior. The best confirmation of this is the cases when we were able to calm and win over children who had previously had a negative experience of treatment at the dentist.
Our specialists, on the contrary, know how to help the child get used to the new environment and carry out all the necessary procedures in a playful way. A few visits to our clinic are enough to allay your child’s fears of the dentist!
Some parents take care of the hygiene and care of their child’s first teeth rather lightly. Considering them a temporary phenomenon, they postpone a visit to the dentist until the appearance of molars. In vain!
It takes 11-12 years from eruption to full replacement. Milk teeth are the “weak link” of the body due to poor enamel mineralization, and caries develops very quickly on them: after only 2-3 weeks, the child will begin to experience pain. That is why it is impossible to delay treatment.
To make dental visits only preventive, it is important to start caring for your teeth as early as possible.
Treatment of initial caries with the ICON method
Treatment of caries in primary teeth does not always require the use of a drill. Its superficial manifestations and other pathologies can be effectively dealt with by other methods, and one of them is the gel. It contains peptides, melanocyte and a special hormone that promotes bone tissue regeneration. Penetrating into the damaged tooth, the drug destroys pathogenic microorganisms and stops carious processes in the early stages.
Important! Treatment of caries of milk teeth with the ICON method is possible only at the stain stage and with superficial caries.
Painless treatment with local anesthetics
Treatment of moderate to deep caries requires the use of a drill to drill out the affected tissue and place a filling to restore the anatomical shape of the tooth. In order not to cause unnecessary anxiety to the child during the procedure, the doctors of our clinic resort to a modern and delicate method of treatment – topical anesthesia.
In the first stage of treatment, the gums are treated with an anesthetic that numbs sensation by penetrating a thin layer of mucous membrane. Application anesthesia is used both separately (sometimes it alone is enough), and for anesthesia of the future injection site. It has a pleasant taste and aroma, which makes it easier for children to tolerate treatment.
Please note! Treatment of medium and deep caries can be carried out from the age of 3, and the doctors of the Stomadim clinic will try to make the procedure as comfortable and painless as possible for your child.

The process of changing teeth in children
Temporary and permanent teeth are very similar in structure, but grow in different numbers. Children have only 20 milk teeth, which fully erupt before the age of two. At the age of 5-6, growth begins, and by the age of 15, children already have a full set of molars – there are 32 of them. Interestingly, during the change, the roots of the milk teeth dissolve, making room for the eruption of permanent teeth.
The process of changing teeth is different for each child, and how comfortable and correct it will be, largely depends on the attitude of the parents. Regular visits to the dentist, properly organized diet and hygiene are the key to a beautiful and healthy smile in the future.
A bite for life is created in childhood
A complete set of even and healthy teeth is the key to correct diction, communication skills and self-confidence of your child. And this is impossible without a careful attitude to the teeth and a timely visit to the dentist. Even in the absence of visible problems with the teeth, it is recommended to visit a pediatric dentist at least once a year, starting from one year. This will allow timely identification and correction of certain problems at an early stage.
What is the risk of neglecting your child’s oral health?
Deviations during the growth of the jaws or teeth can lead to various bite anomalies: crowding, gaps between teeth, deviation from the correct position or rotation of some teeth around their own axis, the formation of an open bite.
To prevent this, we strongly recommend making an appointment with the orthodontist of the Stomadim Clinic. We guarantee high quality treatment and will be happy to become good friends for you and your child!

Are there any special recommendations for preparing potatoes for storage? For example, pre-dry?
They are very simple – dug out potatoes are sorted, unwanted impurities, plant residues and excess soil are removed. And, indeed, before storing the potatoes, it is useful to dry them in the air for 2-3 hours. The peel at the same time coarsens and is less damaged during transportation.
For seed potatoes, a very effective method of preparation for storage is the greening of tubers. Green tubers are resistant to diseases, as they contain solanine, a substance poisonous to humans and animals, so green tubers are used only for planting. With the help of corned beef, the peel is strengthened in the tubers, a kind of barrier is created to the penetration of pathogenic microflora into the potato tuber.

Why do leaves turn yellow on pepper seedlings?
There are many reasons why pepper seedlings turn yellow and even die. On the one hand, the problem may lie in poorly prepared soil or low-quality seeds, and on the other hand, pests or a lack of nutrients, especially nitrogen, may be the cause. Difficulties usually begin with insufficient watering of seedlings and poor lighting of seedlings. So that the sprouts do not die and, as a result, the gardener can get a rich harvest, you should also carefully consider caring for seedlings of peppers …

In our garden plot, in the greenhouse, there are a lot of garden ants. They just didn’t try to bring them out: they poured table salt into the nests, poured boiling water over them. It did not help, the ants moved the nests. How can we get rid of this pest?
In nature, there is a wide variety of ant species. Ants living in the soil improve it, loosen it, mix it and enrich it with organic matter. The species that live in dead wood contribute to its natural decomposition and humification. Certain types of ants, in particular the red wood ant and the small wood ant, are useful, as they destroy harmful insects. Red forest ants destroy leaf-eating pests, mainly caterpillars of butterflies (winter moth, oak leafworm), sawfly larvae, as well as larvae of click beetles and weevils. One nest of red wood ants can protect one hectare of forest. In general, ants can destroy up to a million caterpillars in a month.
Herbivorous species of ants feed on plants, fruits and berries. In gardens, they are companions of aphids, suckers, worms. If you notice that ants are running up and down the trunks of your fruit trees in the garden, then they have colonies of these pests. The favorite food of these ants is honeydew – aphid secretions containing a large amount of sugars. In summer, ants protect aphid colonies from predators (larvae of syrphid flies, lacewings, predatory beetles, etc.), and in winter they take them to anthills and keep them on the underground parts of plants. In the spring, they bring aphids to the surface and this contributes to the early settlement of the garden.
The common garden ant lives in open areas in mounds of earth. In parks and forests, it can settle in hollow trees, in old stumps. It feeds on sweet substances: various secretions of insects, nectar of flowers, juice of various fruits and berries, honey. May damage the roots of some crops.
Turf ant is one of the common species. Lives in holes in the ground, along sidewalks, under stones. It damages seedlings of various crops, gnawing seedlings, as well as the roots of adult plants, especially the root – and tubers (beets, carrots, potatoes), cabbage.
If ants have begun to annoy you in the garden, then you need to take certain measures to combat them.
One way to deal with them is to water the nest with boiling water. Watering must be repeated several times, until all the ants living inside the numerous complex passages and galleries of the nest die.
Another way: take one teaspoon of borax in a glass of water and water the places where ants gather. You can also treat nesting sites with wood ash, slaked lime, dry mustard.
If necessary, you can use chemicals – Grom , G (30 g / kg), Grom-2, G (30 g / kg), Ant , G (50 g / kg). Grom and Grom-2 are applied to the soil to a depth of 3-5 cm during the growing season; drug consumption rate – 20 – 30g / 10m 2 ; The ant is brought into the places of accumulation of ants; the consumption rate of the drug is 30g / 10m².
If the ants don’t bother you much, then why not put up with their presence. The role of ants in the forests is huge, so they deserve all kinds of protection. Red forest ants have many enemies – woodpeckers and crows, badgers, wild boars and humans. Red forest ants independently settle very slowly, it is necessary to protect them in every possible way and not to ruin anthills.

A wireworm was spotted in a potato field. How can we get rid of this pest?
First, the wireworm prefers cereals. Therefore, there should be no cereal weeds in the potato plot – such as wheatgrass, chicken millet, foxtail, etc. In such fields, one should not practice sowing winter rye after harvesting potatoes. It is better to use mustard, rapeseed or peas as a green manure.
Second, wireworm damage is more common along the edge of a potato patch, which often borders on perennial grasses or abandoned patches. This is especially true when cereal grasses predominate in the grass mixture, in which click beetles and their larvae – wireworms breed. In such cases, edge treatments along the perimeter of a plot with a width of 2-3 m (grass) and 1 m (potatoes) by Aktara are very effective monthly, from the end of May to August. Potatoes in August are not processed to meet the waiting period. Grass from treated areas should not be fed to animals. Such a strip prevents the pest from migrating to potatoes.
Thirdly, there are more wireworms in loose soil and in dry years. The pest does not like highly compacted and waterlogged soils.
In the early spring, after the soil has warmed up to +10 degrees before planting potatoes or after harvesting potatoes in autumn, before the soil cools down, traps from cut potato tubers can be practiced in small areas. The trap is a cut potato with a stick inserted, which is buried in the ground, and the stick serves as a marker. These traps are checked periodically, and the pest is collected and destroyed.
To protect potatoes at the beginning of the growing season, tubers should be treated with insecticidal preparations such as Prestige, Taboo, etc. These drugs protect potatoes from both the Colorado potato beetle and the wireworm for 40-50 days. By July, their protective action ceases. Therefore, if there is a lot of wireworm on the site, it is imperative to spray the plants with Aktara, even if the beetle is absent on the plants. This will protect the potatoes from the wireworm for another month and damage to the tubers by the time of harvesting will be minimal.
When using chemicals to treat potato plants, pest numbers should always be taken into account. If the wireworm damages only single tubers and no more than 1-2 strokes per tuber, it is better to opt for chemically pure products.

How to get rid of moles?
In the fight against moles, it is recommended to arrange noise or electromagnetic protection. This allows you to scare him away from your site. It is also recommended to fill the burrows with water. However, this is a long and laborious process. Requires large amounts of water. Mole moves are deep and numerous. To combat it, you can also arrange obstacles, fence off the area from the side of penetration with the help of slate or other durable material to a depth of 1.5-2 m.
Harm from a mole is damage to the root system of plants. At the same time, it does not feed on the plants themselves, its fruits and tubers. The mole feeds on insects that live in the soil. Especially likes large larvae of the Maybug and scoop.

Why do cucumbers turn yellow in greenhouses?
Changes in day and night temperatures, abrupt transitions from hot to cool weather in the current season adversely affect the growth and development of most plants. Heat-loving plants suffer the most, causing them to turn yellow, brown, etc. To relieve stress, plants should be regularly fertilized every 10-14 days with macro- and microfertilizers, growth stimulants. Biological fertilizers and biofungicides are a good help. The latter not only protect plants from disease, but also improve the soil, creating competition for pathogens.
This year, yellowing may also be associated with the development of such a dangerous disease as downy mildew. Sharp changes in day and night air temperatures caused early heavy dew from mid-May. Already on May 21-24, signs of the development of the disease were detected on perennial grasses, legumes, and garlic. Currently, the disease has also been detected in greenhouses and greenhouses by amateur gardeners. To prevent further development of the disease, treatment with copper-containing preparations such as Abiga-Peak, BC, Bordeaux mixture and others should be started.

We heard that in Chuvashia Sosnovsky’s hogweed is growing and developing at a rapid pace. How do they deal with this plant in the republic? I would like to know the recommendations for the fight against hogweed.
According to the results of monitoring of weed infestation with Sosnowski’s hogweed, the total area of distribution is 200 ha. Hogweed plants are found along the banks of rivers and reservoirs, along roads, forest plantations and in the territories of former farms in well-moistened areas. The limiting factor for the distribution of Sosnovsky’s hogweed in the Chuvash Republic is dry weather conditions. In favorable years and on irrigated lands, according to scientists, it can annually capture up to 10-15% of new territories.
The fight against Sosnowski’s cow parsnip should be started in early spring, when the plants are still young and easier to destroy. Most importantly, seed maturation and dispersal must be prevented. The main methods of combating hogweed are mowing, digging up roots, spraying with herbicides of continuous action. You need to mow several times (at least 3). It is necessary to mow at a tender salad age, cutting off the main stem at a height of up to 10 cm from the ground. If you cut the shoots too early, then after a while or the next year the plant will give new shoots. If cut in the flowering phase, then some of the ovaries may ripen even after mowing. Digging is effective only for small areas and with low weediness. It should be started in early spring, while the plants are small, cutting the main root at a depth of 10-12 cm. This should be done twice a year, and in four years you can get rid of Sosnovsky’s hogweed. It is necessary to spray plants with herbicides during the period of active growth, before flowering. The most effective is the use of mechanical and chemical methods of weed control.

Protecting the garden from rodents is especially important in autumn. Tell me, please, how to protect yourself from mouse-like rodents?
Many species of mouse-like rodents cause great damage to orchards, of which the common vole, forest mouse, water vole and other pests are the most harmful.
Common vole (MicrotusarvalisPall) – harm consists in nibbling the roots of young trees and eating the bark at the base of the trunk in a circle “ringing”), damage to strawberries under snow, raspberry shoots, etc.
Wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus L) willingly eats fruit seeds and fruits themselves (cherry, mountain ash, etc. ), spoils fruit plantations in winter, nibbling the bark and roots of trees, and sometimes damages the branches of young trees.
Field mouse (ApodemusagrariusPall) less harmful to horticulture. Various berries play a significant role in the diet of this species in summer and autumn, of which strawberries and raspberries are preferred.
Water vole (water rat) ArvicolaterrestrisL – migrates from ponds to gardens in autumn, causes significant damage by nibbling the bark and roots of fruit trees. If the bark is not gnawed all the way around, the tree may survive but be weakened.
Damaged plants are found only in spring after the snow melts. Rodents also damage ornamental shrubs and flower crops in gardens, for example, the water rat and the common vole damage the rhizomes of irises, the root collars of wintering roses.
Control measures
To prevent the massive appearance of rodents, the site should be kept clean, all plant debris and other debris should be removed from the garden.
It is necessary to dig the garden with a protective groove, it digs up to 70 cm deep with inclined (inward) walls 50 cm wide at the top and 70 cm at the bottom. Periodically checked for pests.
It is possible to arrange protective strips 2-3 m wide, on which vegetation is mowed, and snow is trampled down in winter.
It is especially useful to trample snow around tree trunks. This is done several times in winter after heavy snowfalls and during thaw days.
It is necessary to carry out tying of stems. It is carried out after the leaves fall, before the onset of stable frosts. The binding is carried out with matting, burlap, and on top there is a dense overlay with roofing paper, the lower edge of which is sprinkled with earth or spruce branches with the needles down. There should be no gaps or gaps in the harness through which mice could penetrate to the tree trunk. Release the trunks immediately after the snow melts.
In addition to tying, to protect against damage by mice, it is recommended to coat with repellents: a mixture of clay (3 kg), fresh manure (3 kg) and creolin (100 g per 10 l of water) in the event that whitewashing and tying of boles were not carried out after leaf fall.
Catching rodents with traps, traps, etc. Mice and voles are caught with small traps – crushers, and rats – with arc traps No. 0 and 1 and rat traps, placing them near the holes. The best baits are: for voles – carrots, for mice – bread, for rats – wet or juicy foods (for example, soaked peas). Vegetable oil must be added to baits.
In autumn, you can arrange permanent places of poisoning in the form of artificial holes and bait heaps. They are located in the aisles, on the boundaries, along the hedges and in other places where a large number of holes have been found. Artificial burrows are made in the soil with a stick or iron tube (diameter 3–4 cm) at an angle of 30–40°C to the soil surface, to a depth of 15–25 cm.
Clerat , G (0.05g/kg). Common and social voles – the rate of consumption of the drug – up to 3 kg / ha, 5 g / burrow. Introduction into burrows or other shelters, excluding access by non-target warm-blooded animals, with special spoons at a population density of 10-20 to 600 burrows / ha, with an interval between treatments of at least 16 days, no more than 2 treatments in a row during one season.
In garden houses, it is recommended to use baits made from flour mixed with cement or alabaster (1:1). This mixture is placed in small containers and sprinkled with flour on top. Cement (alabaster), once in the stomach of a rodent, firmly clogs the digestive canal, which causes the death of the animal. But it must be taken into account that in a humid environment such a bait quickly loses its suitability.
Note: when working with poisoned baits, observe safety measures, do not place the drug in places accessible to children, farm or domestic animals, birds.
Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Rosselkhoztsentr” in the Chuvash Republic produces baits based on the chemical rodenticide Ratikum Concentrate. You can find out about the availability of drugs and order them by calling tel. (8352) 51-44-12 or 51-88-13 .

Recently, much has been said about the benefits of using humates. Are they as useful as they say?
Humates are fertilizers based on humic acids with a set of macro- and microelements for pre-sowing treatment of seeds, root and foliar dressings of all crops. The use of humates stimulates the development of a powerful root system, accelerates the growth and development of plants, increases the resistance of plants to diseases and adverse weather factors, reduces the ripening time, and also increases the quantity and quality of the crop. In addition, humates restore useful soil microflora, reduce soil acidity, improve its structure, and contribute to the restoration of humus. Humates can be used both independently and in tank mixtures with pesticides and complex mineral fertilizers, and macro-microelements.

What does the plant protection department do?
Specialists of the department and district departments monitor the emergence, development and spread of pests, diseases and weeds of agricultural land and crops. Based on the monitoring of agricultural land, long-term and short-term forecasts of the emergence and spread of agricultural pests, diseases, weeds are made, signaling messages are given when there is a threat of exceeding the threshold number of a pest or the occurrence of an epiphytotic development of a disease of agricultural plants. The department also keeps a record of the pesticides used and the implementation of protective measures in the territory of Chuvashia. Specialists develop systems for organizing protective measures and help agricultural producers organize them when concluding service contracts. They also conduct consultations with agricultural producers and the population on plant protection issues.

How to avoid unwanted accumulation of nitrates in vegetables?
NITRATES are salts of nitric acid, natural compounds found in nature in the form of sodium and potassium nitrate minerals. They are an essential part of plant nutrition. Plants extract nitrates from the soil and convert them into amino acids. But only during growth. That is why agroscience strongly recommends stopping nitrogen fertilizing from the moment fruit sets begin. If the plant does not have time to use up all the nitrogen coming from the soil, then it will be in the form of nitrates in vegetables. Sunlight is needed for intensive conversion of nitrogen into proteins by plants. The denser the planting, the more shade from trees, shrubs, buildings, the greater the likelihood of nitrate imbalance. It is well known that different vegetables accumulate nitrates in different ways. Lettuce, beets, spinach accumulate more nitrates than cabbage. Even less nitrates accumulate in parsley, celery, turnip and tomatoes. Nitrates are distributed unevenly in the plant. Most of all nitrates accumulate in the core of the root crop, at the top and tip. In medium-sized root crops, nitrates are less than in small and large ones. In zucchini and cucumber, nitrates accumulate in the peel and lower part of the fruit. If the weather is cloudy, then greenhouse vegetables accumulate more nitrates than those that grow in open ground. By storing vegetables at a low temperature and with good ventilation, the amount of nitrates in vegetables gradually decreases. The amount of nitrates can be reduced during cooking: • soak vegetables for a couple of hours in water; • dip the vegetables in boiling salted water and cook until tender. When cooking, most of the nitrates pass into the broth in the first 15 minutes; • do not use the upper leaves and stalk of cabbage, the core of carrots, the top and basal part of beets; • remove the peel from zucchini; • in cucumbers, sweet peppers should be cut off and thrown out by 1.5-2 cm at the point of attachment to the stem or lash; • Soaking peeled vegetables in water can reduce nitrate content by 20-30%. If you’re sure you’re growing your vegetables the right way, forget about nitrates. There are no vegetables without them.

What drugs are called pesticides?
Pesticides are chemical plant protection products. United by one name, they differ significantly from each other, both in chemical composition and in their effect on harmful organisms. Depending on the direction of action on harmful objects, pesticides are divided into the following groups:
– insecticides – to combat harmful insects;
– acaricides – against ticks;
– fungicides – against pathogens of fungal diseases;
– herbicides – against weeds;
– retardants – plant growth regulators;
– repellents – substances, the smell and taste of which repels insects.

On September 8, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain passed away. Elizabeth, who occupied the throne for 70 years, entered British and world history as the oldest monarch. The death of the queen was preceded by an announcement from Buckingham Palace on the afternoon of September 8, which said that doctors “are concerned about the health of the 96-year-old queen and recommend that she be under medical supervision.” Her children and grandchildren, including the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, hurried to the castle. In the evening, mourning was declared in connection with the death of the Queen. Prince Charles, who became king, called the death of his mother “a moment of greatest sadness.”
Her loss is felt throughout the country, the Commonwealth of Nations and countless people around the world. Truss stressed that the death of Elizabeth II was a shock to the nation and the world. During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.
Under Elizabeth, Great Britain ceased to be an empire, entered and left the European Union. We recall the main events in the life of Elizabeth II as a British monarch.
First Christmas speech
I can’t lead you into battle. I do not write laws and do not administer justice. But I can do something else. I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands.
Elizabeth’s coronation took place on June 2, 1953. For the first time in the history of the country, the ceremony was televised. She was followed by millions of people around the world, and many Britons even bought their first televisions specifically for this.
People need to see me to believe me.
Commonwealth of Nations
During the reign of Elizabeth II, the Commonwealth of Nations grew from seven countries to 56 members, representing over 2.5 billion people, over a third of the world’s population. During her reign, the Queen made over 200 visits to Commonwealth countries and traveled to almost every Commonwealth country, and made many return visits over the years. Thus, one third of the Queen’s total overseas visits were to Commonwealth countries.
If we all move forward together with unwavering faith, high courage and a calm heart, we can make this ancient fellowship that we all love so much into an even grander thing – more free, more prosperous, happier and more powerful impact on good in the world.
The royal family
In July 1947, Buckingham Palace issued an official statement about the engagement of the princess, and in November of the same year, the solemn wedding of Elizabeth II with Philip, who had to sacrifice a lot for the sake of marriage, took place. He renounced Greek citizenship and changed his religion – he switched from Orthodox Christianity to Anglicanism. A year after the wedding, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, Charles, and later a daughter, Anna, and two sons, Andrew and Edward, appeared in their family.
In 1997, celebrating the 50th anniversary of marriage, Elizabeth II spoke warmly about her husband.
He was my support and strength and remained so for me all these years. And I, like his whole family, and this country, and many other states are indebted to him.
Prince Philip himself died on April 9, 2021.
The Queen’s relationship with her children cannot be called easy, and the history of the British royal family itself is filled with intrigue and events that take place in it.

Hobbies and interests
Horse riding. The Queen’s first pony was given to her by her grandfather, King George V, a Shetlander named Peggy, which marked the beginning of a lifelong love of horses. Her Majesty became extremely knowledgeable as a rider, owner and breeder of horses, and her passion for them was evident at the racing meetings she attended in public, which regularly included the Epsom Derby and Royal Ascot, a royal event from 1711.
Corgi. The first corgi named Dookie appeared in the Queen’s family when she was seven years old. Elizabeth II has had at least 30 Corgis all along. She loved these dogs so much that she called them “family”. The attitude towards them was also family, even more royal: the pets slept in their own room and ate food prepared by a personal chef. In the 50s, the queen herself managed to breed a new breed by crossing a corgi named Tiny with a dachshund dog named Pipekin. The bred breed, not recognized by cynologists, Elizabeth II called dorgi.
What Now
With the Queen’s death, the British authorities launched Operation London Bridge. So, according to the plan, her personal secretary should be the first to know about the death of the British monarch. He then reports the incident to the Prime Minister, uttering the code phrase “London Bridge has collapsed.”
Farewell to the queen. According to the plan, farewell to the queen will affect the next 10 days from her death.
The day of the death of Elizabeth II in the official farewell program is called D-Day. Ministers and employees of the government apparatus were informed about the death of the monarch, they received letters from the head of the government office with the words: “Dear colleagues, I regret to inform you of the death of Her Majesty the Queen.” The home page of the royal family’s website has gone black, leaving only brief information about Elizabeth’s death and her coronation portrait.
First day after death. At 10:00 am, the new monarch, Charles III, will be formally proclaimed king in a ceremony attended by members of the government and members of the Privy Council at St. James’s Palace. The event will be held with a strict dress code: a dark business suit and the absence of any jewelry. At the same time, the parliament will meet to express condolences; it will not work for ten days. Around 3:30 pm, the new king will give an audience to the prime minister and ministers.
Second day. The Queen’s coffin will be transported to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, where a memorial service will be held. After that, the coffin will be sent by train or plane to London, where it will be met by members of the government and the Prime Minister. The coffin will be installed at Buckingham Palace. Official condolences will be expressed by the governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, condolences will continue to be expressed by members of parliament.
The third day. King Charles III will arrive at Parliament, where he will be expressed official condolences from parliamentarians. In the afternoon, he will embark on a tour of the country, starting with a visit to Scotland. Fourth day. The King will arrive in Northern Ireland, where he will attend a memorial service at St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast. On the same day, a rehearsal of the procession with a coffin from Buckingham to Westminster Palace (the complex of buildings of parliament) will take place in London.
The fifth day. The Queen’s coffin will be taken to the Palace of Westminster, accompanied by a procession of many thousands, after which a church service will take place. Sixth-ninth days. The Queen’s coffin will be installed in the Palace of Westminster on a special hearse. Farewell access will be open to everyone for 23 hours each day. High-ranking officials and VIPs will be able to book a specific time for farewell. On the sixth day, there will also be a rehearsal of the state funeral ceremony.
Seventh day. King Charles III will visit Wales, a memorial service will be held in the Cathedral in Cardiff. Preparations for the funeral ceremony will continue in London. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be busy organizing the arrival of world leaders, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police – ensuring security, the authorities of London – ensuring the smooth operation of the transport and infrastructure of the city.

My son possibly ingested bleach while at Bible Babies. The church does not value their customers and their lack of care is evident in their poor training of staff.
Enraged and moving on. The place has drastically changed and it very unfortunate.

Overall
i love it….but
My child began Bible Babies at about 18 months and is still attending. The center is clean, their is a security officer stationed at the front of the center at all times, and i know my son is in good hands every day that i drop him off. I love that all meals are provided by the center and for the most part the entire staff is pleasent. The only reason i didnt give the center 4 stars is their have been a few incidents where my child has been scratched by other students and each time it happens its a little more dramatic then the previous scar. Outside of that my child seems to enjoy attending. Academically im very pleased, and they take lots of field trips which is important to me. All in all we love Bible Babies.

What happens to babies and young children when they die? Where can I find a reference to conscious age in the Bible?
Question
Answer
Often lost sight of in discussions about conscious age is the fact that children, regardless of age, are not “innocent” in terms of sinlessness. The Bible tells us that even if infants or small children have not personally sinned, they, like all people, are guilty before God because of inherited and imputed sin. Inherited is sin passed on to us from our parents. In Psalm 50:7 David wrote, “Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sin my mother bore me.” David realized that even at conception he was a sinner. The sad fact that sometimes babies die demonstrates that even they bear the consequences of original sin, since physical and spiritual death is the result of Adam’s sin.
Every person, infant or adult, is guilty before God; each has offended the holiness of the Lord. The only way God can remain just and at the same time recognize a person as righteous is if the person accepts forgiveness through faith in Christ. Christ is the only way. John 14:6 records the words of Jesus: “I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” The apostle Peter also notes in Acts 4:12, “For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Salvation is a personal choice.
But what about babies and young children who never had the opportunity to make that personal choice? At the heart of the concept of conscious age is the principle that teaches that those who die before reaching conscious age are automatically saved by God’s mercy and grace. This idea says that God saves all who die before reaching the opportunity to make a decision for or against Christ. Thirteen years is the age most commonly referred to as conscious age, based on the Jewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13. However, the Bible does not specifically say anywhere that this particular age is always conscious. It probably differs from case to case. The child then enters a conscious age when he becomes able to make a decision about whether to believe in Christ or not.
With the above in mind, also note the following: Christ’s death is sufficient for the salvation of all mankind. 1 John 2:2 says that Jesus “is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world.” This verse confirms that the death of Jesus is sufficient for the sins of all people, not just those who consciously come to Him in faith. The fact that the death of Christ was a sufficient payment for the sins of all allows the payment to be made for those who have never been able to believe.
The only passage in the Bible that relates to this topic more than any other is recorded in 2 Samuel 12:21-23. The context of these verses is that King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, resulting in pregnancy. The prophet Nathan was sent by the Lord to inform David that because of his sin the child would die. David reacted to this by mourning, mourning, and praying for the child. But as soon as the child died, David stopped mourning. David’s servants were surprised to hear this. They asked him: “What does it mean that you do this: when the child was still alive, you fasted and wept; And when the child died, did you get up and eat bread? In response, David said: “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I thought: who knows if the Lord will not have mercy on me, and the child will remain alive? And now it is dead; why should I fast? Can I return it? I will go to it, but it will not return to me.” These words testify that those who cannot believe have security in the Lord. David said that he could go to the child, but he could not return it to himself. Just as importantly, David seemed calm about it. In other words, David meant to say that one day he would see a child (in heaven), although he could not bring him back.
God may apply Christ’s wages for sin to those who cannot believe, but the Bible does not specifically confirm this. Thus, we should not be categorical about this. God’s use of Christ’s death for the benefit of those who failed to believe seems to be in keeping with His love and mercy. Our position is that God applies Christ’s wages for sin to small children and the insane, since they are not mentally ready to realize their sinful state and need for a Savior, but, once again, we cannot be categorical on this issue. We can be sure that God is loving, holy, merciful, just and gracious. Everything He does is always right and good.

Why history repeats itself
Today,
12:22
( updated: Today 12:22 pm )
9
The sun rises in the East. Asia itself is rising. And the West goes into the sunset. In the shadow of the Dutch Bilderberg Hotel.
Europe is almost in Hell
Historians will note: everything is cyclical. And they will write encyclopedias and volumes. Philosophers, referring to the works, theories of predecessors, using complex definitions and obtaining new scientific degrees, holding conferences, symposiums or modestly enjoying their arrogance in the dark of small rooms, will draw conclusions. Someone – for a couple of pages of a journal article, someone – for a whole dissertation. And only the conclusions of theologians will turn out to be the most lapidary.
The importance of the Western countries, as well as the benefit of the EU, was washed away by the US down the drain, gas. .. Any option is suitable!
Only ruins remained of the great Roman civilization – the Colosseum. As a memory for generations. Even the strongest and most devoted Praetorians will not hold the stands of lechers and hunters for bread and circuses on their victorious standards. Those who drooled either from free cakes, or from murderous spectacles. Bury, watching with interest the rivers of blood – first slaves, then the first Christian martyrs.
Isn’t the picture of decadent Rome repeating itself on the scale of the modern Western world? It just looks more hyperbolic. And the stands of the Colosseum are now everywhere. In an expensive gaming chair, on a soft sofa, in the London Underground, on a bench in Hyde Park, in office chairs on Manhattan’s 5th Avenue.
A modern Western plebeian, eating a hot dog, enjoys on the screen of a gadget the picture of the explosions of the Crimean bridge, staged Bucha, fake installations of dishonored Lviv femins. What is more in the grimace of an urbanized cosmopolitan? Compassion? Curiosity? Enjoy! Drooling on the flexible screen of the smartphone flows either from the coveted cheesecake, or from a terrible sight.
But don’t just point to the European bourgeoisie and IT evangelists. As August 2020 showed, we have enough forum moderators of our own. Those who with great pleasure “ate” the revelations “about the hubbub” and with pleasure poisoned the telegram-space and souls of Belarusians with this lie with 50 shades of the color revolution. Eureka! Now I understand why the coordinators put on myths about atrocities. Because they understood that this is what brings joy to the supporters of “changes”. Bred by Schwab and those whose names are printed on the world’s most expensive crisp tabloid covers, a new kind of humanist is out of bounds, no matter what passport.
Those who, from the descendants of Shakespeare, Strauss and the architect Jean de Chelle, molded a lover of new normals, stole the real Europe from history. The painting of the same name by Valentin Serov is about ancient mythology. But this “abduction” is much more real.
Stole. Christian. Moral. Aspiring to the sky with the Gothic peaks of Ulm Cathedral. Soaring above the earth with Mozart’s 41st symphony. Seeking the purity of Paul Marie Verlaine’s Saturnine Poems.
And brazenly offered the bathhouse values of the decadent times of Ancient Rome. At least they tried to wash it off with water. Did not help. The right hand of the Creator “washed away” from history. Now it is directly pedaled and imposed. Destroying the family – destroy the state. The mechanism of moral destruction is launched. This is where such a heated controversy comes from, the frantic expectation of gladiator fights between the B53 and the Yars.
The streets of Europe smell of burning. And, apparently, the ringing of Notre Dame de Paris will be forced to pick up the bells of the Polotsk Sofia. To us, in the geographical center of Europe, the cultural code and even the European way of life are shifting. Without laughter. At least Belarusians will celebrate Christmas in warm and cozy houses. The Slavs have already saved Europe from the furnaces of Dachau and Majdanek. Now the task is to save at least the European spirit.
Aces in the hole
The many-sided, motley, heterogeneous Asia has something that decrepit Europe does not have. Even all four trump cards in this geopolitical battle.
The first is human potential. Billions against hundreds of millions of the collective West. But the security of the white bourgeois, sophisticated aristocrats, the establishment of blue blood and interests is based on bayonets, or rather, M16 rifle muzzles in the hands of mercenaries from slave lands.
Borrell compared “privileged” Europe to a garden, and the world around it to a jungle. The Roman experience of Spartacus can be repeated by sergeants from the colored regions… Europe is decrepit, Asia is gaining strength. The civilization of pleasure vs the civilization of diligence. In the well-groomed houses of the cities of Europe – the ominous silence of old age, in the Asian villages – children’s laughter. And these children will no longer be monkeys in the human zoos of clean Belgium, these children will no longer be pizza delivery men for white-collared Walt Street men. These children will not even become taxpayers for the careless tours of European pensioners. Europe is decrepit – Asia is gaining strength.
The second trump card is the wealth of mineral resources. In many respects, the Asian region is beyond competition. The era when the Indians exchanged “fiery water” for shiny glass remained on the pages of Jack London’s novels, and from the time when the Bedouins sold their oil for unsecured pieces of paper, only nostalgia remained among brokers. At the Asian summit, a modern remake of the legend sounded: they say, when the Lord divided the land among the peoples, while the white Europeans chose the best pieces for themselves, the Asian peasant worked. Came last. Like a servant after the masters. There was nothing left, and then the Almighty gave paradise for such humility.
The third trump card is the sales market. Huge. Instead of sanctions walls, there is only one single wall here – an architectural one. And even the modest economies of Central Asia are creating clusters. Belarus offers not a primitive “buy and sell” scheme. The scheme from Lukashenka is “cooperation in competencies”.
The fourth one is meanings. Respect for those who are different from you. The old-timers of the SCO spoke about this. It sounded on SV MDA. They got up from their knees. Now it’s time to straighten your back from cowboy heels and British slippers. Bolder. This is Asia time. The geopolitical merch of the First was heard. The main thing now is to boldly look into the eyes of those who are used to wielding a whip in Asia in tuxedos and white gloves, like riders on a hippodrome.
The main countries of the Old World have already lost their authority. Self-sufficiency in the building “Berlaymont” at the crossroads de la Loie and Boulevard Charlemagne lies only in the discussion of the number of genders. Against this background, the dissatisfaction of small, but also European countries sounds. They want strong economies, not big shocks. Therefore, real points of support are required. No unisex political dress code like in the EU. Nor condescending attitude in the style of the “Eastern Partnership”. We need strong economic ties. Here it is, the voice of the future Eurasia.
Apple of contention in business
Except the big dignitaries seem to be too busy with their neo-colonial Victorian dreams. They have one option. First A. Big war. Feeling like Big Ben was synchronized with the doomsday clock. And from their nest, the “Washington hawks” and all the adherents of the Anglo-Saxon world are carefully watching a large electronic dial with a countdown. All in the best traditions of box office Hollywood action movies. Well, since they can’t give bread already, at least they will get a spectacle.
First B. Expansion. Open and unprincipled. The chief of European democracy, Borrell, poured everything into the world. Garden and jungle. Figuratively. Only here images are too existential. The jungle is already in the garden. See how modest European Christmas is in Europe. And how loud is Ramadan.
And one more thing. Apparently, Borrell forgot the first five pages of the Bible. The real garden is Eden. Geographically, he was in Asia, as it were. And there, among the European politicians, they are glad to see only the Belarusian leader. But Borrell and others like him, it seems, were shown the way out of Eden. There was everything, but in the hands there was a bitten apple of discord. At least don’t choke on them!

Highly recommend Woodlands to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing and educational centre for their children.
In 7 months shes now eating everything that’s served can speak super well and is hitting her milestones and that’s the work of woodlands and their staff. I couldn’t thank them enough for all their help with my daughter.
We are very happy with Noah’s process through his time at Woodlands. The quality u get at Woodlands is beyond amazing and were very happy with the staff, communication and overall his experience at Woodlands. Noah has grown and learned so much while he has been attending Woodlands Roxburgh Park and made friends with not only the other children but the staff.

It was not without this in 2013, this time we were brought to one closed kindergarten in the forest outside the city. It ceased to function three years ago, but it has been preserved just fine. 
One of the most interesting rooms is the children’s playroom. Many toys (cars, balls) and a recreation area with soft chairs have been preserved here.

It was necessary to provide for everything: to prepare bedrooms and playrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, outbuildings and premises, a first-aid post, housing for all staff. And also the delivery of products, furniture, bed linen, dishes, toys, and so on, so on and so forth …

At the same time there were cleaning and antibacterial treatment.

The children were given nets, and we all chased butterflies, it was a lot of fun. I also remember walking in pairs by the handles along the pond and sunbathing, sleeping on cots on the veranda. I slept between two girls. And once I was bitten by a bee, I slapped it right on my arm, and because of the sting, my arm swelled up. But I didn’t cry because I felt guilty.

And although everyone knows that uncontrolled burning of dry grass carried out by the population, unextinguished bonfires, matches and cigarette butts thrown in the forest, 
But for millions of years, the active growth of grass with the advent of spring occurred without human grass burning. Dry grass is not an obstacle for young shoots, the rapid decomposition of grass by worms and soil microorganisms in spring turns it into the most valuable humus (humus). By burning dry grass, people disrupt the natural process of humus formation and thereby impoverish soil fertility. 
And the area of forests producing oxygen is steadily declining due to deforestation and forest fires.

He was seen by breeder William Prince in the garden of the Gibbs family. In honor of the mistress of the house, Isabella, the grapes were named. 
5 kilograms; the shape is an inverted cone. The berries are round, their color is dark blue, almost purple. Their skin is dense, covered with a bluish bloom. 
Bushes vigorous. The leaves are large, rounded, slightly dissected, three-lobed or entire, covered with dense arachnoid pubescence from below. Petiole notch open, vaulted. The flower is bisexual. Clusters are medium, cylindric, usually with one wing, medium dense. The berries are small, round, light green with a slight yellowish tint. The skin is thin. The flesh is slimy, with an isabelle flavor. Shoot maturation is good. Productivity is 55-60 q/ha. The growth of the bushes is violent, the shoots are creeping. Grows without grafting on deep, sandy or sandy loamy soils. Resistant to frost, mildew and oidium. Phylloxera resistance on clay soils is insufficient. Sensitive to the content of lime in the soil. A very productive variety. Used in the past in winemaking, can also be used as a rootstock. Due to the low quality of the resulting wine, it is now processed into grape juice and brandy. 
Usually, the active harvest of Lydia grapes occurs at the end of August or at the very beginning of September. From one bush you can get up to 35 kilograms of excellent fruits, if you follow all the rules of agricultural technology and, of course, all the rules and regulations for plant care. The peculiarity of the variety is also that ripe berries can crumble very easily. This is a great difficulty, so it is best to produce brushes in dry and, preferably, in calm weather, so that the berries simply do not crumble to the ground. 
The variety is excellent for making grape jam or jams, as well as berry compotes or fruit drinks. 
Incorrectly placed notches will prevent the juice from flowing through the grapes. Shoots that are one year old or more are removed and half a centimeter shoots are left at the cut points. The size of the left parts is important, as it will affect the growth of the bush and its recovery. The place of cutting of plots that have been growing on a bush for many years should be perpendicular to the axis. 
But the circumcised Isabella in the south during the autumn period will be less adapted to survive the winter cold. 
If the inflorescences began to open, then the cleaning of the bush should not be done in the spring, but after harvesting the Isabella grape variety. 
Here you need to be able to distinguish its three types: summer, biennial and perennial shoots. Summer – green, bearing leaves, flowers, brushes. Biennial – vines, chocolate shade, summer shoots grow from them with a harvest. Perennial – branches, dark, bark often fringed. Branches accumulate nutrients for laying the future crop. No special fruit twigs, like apple trees. Any green shoot can equally well play both a vegetative and fruitful role. It all depends on the formation. 
When and how to prune grapes in the summer from unnecessary shoots at this stage? A fragment of grapes is carried out in the last decade of May or early summer, when new green shoots reach a length of up to 15–20 cm and are easy to remove. 
At this stage, you can add more sugar, leaving for 7-10 days under a water seal. Seal the container well and place in a cool (6-16°C) dark place to age. After 3-6 months, aged wine can be bottled and stored in a cellar or refrigerator for up to 5 years. 
Cover them and let them cool. 
The taste will be even more interesting and richer if you add apples or pears. 
5 cup sugar, 0.5 kg Isabella grapes, 20 g gelatin, water . 
5 kg of sugar, 20 g of gelatin . 
Rinse the grapes, dry a little. Squeeze the juice through a juicer or through a meat grinder, and then carefully strain. Pour the prepared juice into a saucepan and boil patiently until the volume is reduced by half. Dissolve starch in cold water and, stirring, pour into juice. He will become a prick. Pour this jelly onto a baking sheet with a layer of 5-7 mm. Too thick a layer is not worth making, as you will significantly increase the cooking time. Place the tray in the oven at 90-100 degrees. Dry the marshmallow with the door slightly ajar for 6-7 hours. Or in an electric dryer. Cut the finished product into strips, twist into a tube. 
The resulting mass should drain from the blade with a thin thread. Thoroughly mix the finished syrup with a spatula and pour in a thin stream into the whipped berry mass. After the syrup has been poured, continue to beat the marshmallow mass for another 2-4 minutes. It should turn out lush, with a trace of the whisk when whipping. 
ground red pepper, 3 tsp dried garlic, 1 tsp ground coriander, 0.5 tsp ground white pepper, 1 tsp ground ginger, 2 tbsp. starch, 1 cup water to dilute the starch. 
But if you dilute it with water and sugar, then the sharpness will go away, but the aroma will remain. 
Correct planting
Isabella grapes require a place that is well warmed by the sun and closed from the wind. Wetlands or areas with a close location of groundwater will not work. 
The first introduction of elements useful for the plant is carried out in the spring. For this, carbamide or ammonium nitrate are suitable. 12 days before flowering, it is recommended to feed the vineyard with an infusion of dandelions, nettles or bird droppings. 
On top of this, an air-permeable covering material is placed. 
If it is stored for more than 3 years, it acquires a distinct smell of rot. It does not matter whether the wine is made at home or at the factory. 
First of all, for planting, you need to determine a good piece of land. It should be a hill or just an area open to the heat of the sun, preferably remote from high fences 
Everything is abundantly moistened and sprinkled with earth to a third of the depth of the pit. 
At first, he is not happy with the growth rate. However, 3 years after planting, its branches of the plant lengthen annually by 3–4 meters. Young shoots are greenish-crimson in color, while the old vine remains grey-brown. 
Due to its high frost resistance, the variety is actively moving to the central part of Russia, it can be found in the Urals and even in Siberia. 
Unfavorable conditions, in the form of cold snaps and constant rains, have little effect on the quality of berries, as well as the yield, which often exceeds 70 kg per bush. 
Isabella is extremely rarely affected by such fungal diseases as mildew, oidium, powdery mildew, gray rot, and almost does not suffer from phylloxera. The disease does not spread to her vines, even if adjacent varieties are affected by it; 
For grapes, this is, in principle, very atypical. Isabella can be quite possible to use in order to diversify the diet. Also, despite the rich color of the skin, this variety rarely causes allergies; 
It is also an additional protection of the root system from the influence of severe frosts. 
To do this, within 4 years, you need to trim according to the following scheme by year: 
To prevent the ingress and reproduction of insects, the vineyard is sprayed with Bordeaux liquid, a solution of copper or iron sulphate. To avoid infection with fungal diseases, the bushes are treated with a solution of slaked lime. 
This variety is not advised to eat for obese people who want to reduce the calorie content of the menu. 
Studies around the world have confirmed this feature. It is due to the fact that pectins are converted into methyl alcohol during fermentation. They are in any variety of grapes, but Isabella has more of them in her composition. If in wines from European varieties the amount of this substance is 30-40 mg / l, then in Isabella – 70-120 mg. It finds its way into both industrial and domestic wines.

And the southern part of Texas – low, flat, always on the verge of flooding – has been an ideal place for them to grow for centuries. The largest number of sugarcane plantations were in the counties of Fort Bend, Brazoria, Warton and Matagorda. 
The decision to give prisoners as workers to local farmers, to organize labor camps in which criminals would not sit on the neck of the state, but would bring income to both the state and farmers, suited everyone. 
In 1910, the first legislative hearings were held, the government began to introduce laws defining the rules for the maintenance and work of prisoners. 
By the time the plant was purchased, the name of the village was simply mocking, since the inhabitants did not call it otherwise as Hellhole of the Brazos. The first word is translated either as an infernal abyss, or as a den – one is worth the other. And there was reason to call him that. There were no streets in the village, it was flooded every now and then, there was only one house, and that one was public, there was no work left in connection with the ruin of the plant. 
Adults worked at the plant, and children went to school. 
But in any case, the eustoma will shine – it will not be overshadowed by its neighbors. Maybe that’s why a rare ordered flower delivery in Rostov-on-Don does without lisianthus. 
Her fame spread throughout the region. And then one day the evil God of War decided to see if it was as good as despicable people say. 
Here she is, eustoma. Beautiful and noble, timid as an innocent maiden and strong as her spirit.

At the first sign of wilting, dip the tips of the stems in boiling water for 30 seconds, then return to a vase with pure water. In half a day, your chrysanthemums will be reborn 🙂

Eustoma looks amazing in wedding bouquets and boutonnieres, baskets and just in gift bouquets. 
The first sign of this disease is that the leaves curl up, a gray coating appears on the underside of the leaves. This disease can appear in Lisianthus and in the garden. 
However, in Lisianthus grown from such seeds, a large splitting of characters is observed. As a result, seedlings may produce flowers with a grayish-dirty color of the petals, not at all similar to the flowers of hybrid seedlings. 
But in the second year they were weak, bloomed little (or even did not bloom at all) – just one disappointment. 
“The most remarkable thing is that it is possible to create universal works, finding common features in different floristic schools, so that the compositions are accepted with a bang in any country in the world,” says Lucas. Using the advice of an eminent master, we offer you recommendations for preserving the freshness of flowers. 
It is also important where the point of sale is located, what is the wealth of buyers in this area. Undoubtedly, only one thing – all flowers, even of excellent quality, need care immediately after entering the salon. There are a number of simple rules to follow: 
But when I make an order in the evening, some of them already have darkening petals. Have to choose the best even though everyone was the best in the morning :confused: 
The reasons for the withering of flowers are different and depend, among other things, on the plant itself, on its nature. In addition, the cause of wilting is evaporation, which causes a sharp decrease in moisture in the tissues of the plant, and this is the loss that can only be replenished for a short time. This applies to all flowers regardless of the time of year. At the same time, in winter and early spring, flowers grown in greenhouses wither especially quickly, as they were not prepared for new conditions of detention – in rooms that are too dry and warm for them with central heating. Most often, flowers wither due to a long stay without water, as well as difficulties in its absorption – not by roots, but by stems. 
Each plant has its own wilting point, when its further revival becomes impossible: the flower ages or fades. This process cannot be stopped, but it can be slowed down. 
The less stress he will experience and the longer he will stand in a vase, while maintaining freshness and color. Therefore, when you bring flowers home, leave them in the hallway for a while, because this is the coolest place in the house. After that, you can process the stems of flowers using special techniques that can increase the water-absorbing properties. Moreover, flowers bought already in a bouquet are very often dehydrated and especially require a sufficient amount of water. To do this, refresh the sections by holding the flowers under a gentle stream of water. Remove the bottom leaves, place the flowers in warm water. On soft-stemmed plants, make a long, oblique cut to help them absorb water better.
Sometimes the tip of the stem can be crushed with a hammer or knife handle. 
Do not place cut flowers near radiators, stoves, heaters, or in direct sunlight. It is undesirable that there are drafts in the room. The temperature in the room also plays an important role: at a temperature of 18-19 ° C, flowers last longer than at a temperature of 22 ° C. At night, it is recommended to put the flowers in a cooler place (from +10 to +15 ° C) or wrap them tightly in paper and immerse them in a bucket of water.

These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment. 
While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. 
However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center. 
It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities.

Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.
In addition to the county criminal search, a sex offender search, OFAC search, and a social security verification trace are also conducted. 
Search by zip to find the one closest to you.

Find out what toddlers learn in our Seattle child care programs.
A daycare facility tends to be a more cost-effective option that takes place in a child-specific setting. Most will have built-in programming and structured socialization for all of the children in attendance. In the end, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to child care—pick the environment that’s best for you.
Bright Horizons in Seattle accommodates a wide range of special and individualized needs in our group programs. We offer inclusive programs that focus on each child’s strengths and support a collaborative team approach with the teacher, director, specialists, and families. The team will work closely together to maximize your child’s opportunities for learning, growth, and development, and minimize any barriers or safety issues that a group program may present.

An increasing number of homeless people began to fill the streets of Seattle, in some places because of the tents, the city simply became unrecognizable. Let’s try to figure out what happened. 
Their billing is integrated, so you can have one ORCA card for all modes of transport. Thanks to the convenience of the system, the rapid population growth in Seattle and the surrounding area did not lead to a transport collapse – yes, there were more traffic jams, but without public transport, the share of which in trips already reaches 57% (25% drives a car), there would be complete seams. By the way, most employers compensate to some extent the transportation costs of their employees for public transport – not Tokyo, of course (I already wrote about shinkansen), but nonetheless. 
Not everywhere in the US and in the world as a whole, this can be done. Often contradictions, politics and simply subjective factors hinder joint transport planning on the scale of an agglomeration — almost always its socio-economic boundaries do not coincide with administrative ones. The situation only becomes more complicated when agglomerations are located on the territory of several administrative units at once, as in the case of New York (states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) or Kansas City (states of Kansas and Missouri, legal conflicts are interesting). 
This solution was the only one in the United States before the transition to exclusive use by light rail in 2019. 
But in 1934, the US government accused the corporation of monopoly, dividing it into three independent divisions: the Boeing Airplane Company itself, United Aircraft (Pratt & Whitney, Chance Vought and Sikorsky) and United Air Lines. 
As a result, in 2015, the aerospace sector accounted for 59% of the exports of the entire state of Washington. This multiplier effect, as well as Boeing’s leading role, despite the ups and downs in employment, ensured the formation of a strong middle class in and around Seattle. It is to the Boeing aircraft factories that the city owes its transformation from an unknown provincial town on the wild northwest coast into one of the world’s hi-tech centers. The aircraft industry, like the auto industry in Michigan and Detroit, has become a massive social lift. It gave uneducated workers not only the opportunity to earn decent money, but also send their children to college – the key to the future boom of techno-hipsters in Seattle and the surrounding area, which began in the second half of 1980s 
Yes, now it is gradually leaving, like the A380, just since the mid-2000s, the air transportation market itself has begun to change in favor of less capacious, but more flexible twin-engine models. 
The sales of the 737 and 747 that had just taken off were also not encouraging – the oil crisis of October 1973 hit the entire aviation industry very painfully. Up to 85% of Boeing’s business at that time was associated with sales to civilian airlines, which suddenly became unable to purchase new aircraft. Before Seattle loomed the ghost of Detroit, failed city. There was some kind of psychological breakdown, an outflow of residents began, real estate sales collapsed by 35%, sales of new cars – by 50%, the unemployment rate jumped to 17%, etc. It was at this time that the famous billboard appeared, zeitgeist of that time. 
This Seattle suburb was home to co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen of the town (after all, family support means something). And according to some estimates, Microsoft’s IPO alone seven years later made 12,000 Seattle employees of the company dollar millionaires. Later, as the business grew, various spin-offs began to separate from Microsoft, or other startups were founded by people from the company. Therefore, the importance of the corporation for creating a powerful IT and venture ecosystem around Seattle cannot be overestimated. 
By the way, Jean-Claude Juncker, the architect of the tax reform that made it possible for a tiny European principality to become a paradise for billionaires around the world, later became President of the European Commission. And Bob Comfort, the then head of the Amazon tax department, became the honorary consul of Luxembourg in Seattle – as you understand, such serious things are not done from scratch. In general, flight to the kindest tax jurisdictions is one of the foundations of the company’s global success. So, for the right to place the second headquarters of Amazon (HQ2) in the United States, a serious struggle unfolded between US cities. Bezos waved the carrot at 50,000 new jobs and $5 billion in investment. The state of New Jersey offered $7 billion in tax breaks, but the states of Virginia and New York won in the end. 
According to the Seattle agglomeration in 2010–2019 the numbers were even more impressive: 60,000 new residents each year and only 19,000 newly built housing units. 
While the greatest shortage of social housing was observed in the subgroup of households with minimal incomes (up to 50% of the median or less than $35 thousand, see graph). 
At the same time, almost half, 5,600 people lived on the streets, another 4,000 lived in shelters for the homeless, and about 2,000 lived in temporary social housing. By another method of counting, there were four times as many homeless people in King County. As a result, their tents and sleeping bags are everywhere – under bridges, in open spaces, on sidewalks, on patches of lawns, in parks. As a result, some areas of the city began to resemble refugee camps. In 2020, more than 120 such small towns of homeless people from 2 to 10 tents were scattered throughout the city. 
It is estimated that in King County, approximately 4,000 homeless people, or 34% of the total, suffered from various mental disorders. For this special “thank you” to Reagan, who at 1981, as part of the reduction in support for the healthcare system, ordered the release of them from hospitals. 
For example, in 2017 and 2021 its host was the University of Washington. Tent City 4 was also legalized, but in 2004 it was moved from downtown Seattle to the eastern shore of Lake Washington, where it also moves from place to place on a rotating basis. As a rule, most of the residents of these two legalized tent cities work, one-time hot meals, garbage collection, toilets are organized there, and strict internal rules apply (it is forbidden to drink, use drugs, fight, etc.). 
And only $25 million will be directly allocated in the form of grants and subsidies to eligible NGOs. In January 2021, Amazon also announced a $2 billion Housing Equity Fund, but only $344.3 million of that is for King County (and also in low-interest loans). 
In 2019The City Council has finally loosened ADU restrictions by allowing up to two such additional housing units to be built on the same lot, while simultaneously increasing their allowed area. So things start to get better. 
In these single-story housing areas, it was intended to allow the construction of various mid-rise housing options. Similar up-zoning laws to address the housing crisis were passed in neighboring Oregon (2019) and California (2021). However, the Washington State Legislature rejected HB 1782 on February 15, 2022, after meeting strong opposition from local municipalities. They asserted their right to determine local zoning rules without state interference. 
But for the time being, the traditional US shtetl and NYMBYS, which I wrote about in the material about New York, are taking up again. 
The city is a paradox.

Freedom Schools also provided “leadership training [for youth to become] the next generation of civil rights leaders,” said Dr. Earl Miller, a Seattle organizer with the NAACP and CORE. [5] 
Other people were disappointed by the lack of long-term results as the Seattle public school district continued to perpetuate racism and inequality. However, the 1966 Seattle Freedom School campaign is part of the history of a racial justice organization that provides strength and guidance for people who continue to work for racial equality. 9 Clark, Brook.

They open their doors to families, despite the fact that almost all of them do not have access to health care, they suffer from poverty and do not have access to protective equipment or testing. Ensuring that recent investments such as increasing the rate of care delivery, increasing the amount of time families with young children experiencing homelessness can receive free care, and giving educators more opportunities to meet government standards will help ensure not only that childcare is available to our essential workers today, but that it is available to everyone when we all get back to work! 
Politicians at all levels of government must do everything in their power to ensure that huge cuts in childcare costs do not prevent our state and nation from making economic recovery when the time is right. 
Because billions of federal dollars depend on the population, it’s important to count everyone, including every infant and child. 
in Seattle on the importance of childcare to our economy. Also in attendance were former state representative Kristin Reeves (who campaigned for childcare in the state legislature and is currently running for Congress in the 10th district), Amy Anderson, director of government relations for the Washington Business Association, and Jasmine Donovan. , president of Dick’s Drive-In. 
https://childcareawarewa.org/employers/ for ideas on what to do. 
2006. Installation costs for childcare.” She found that the total cost to our nation’s economy exceeds $6.5 billion annually. With historically low unemployment rates, employers are increasingly working with fewer workers than they need. Increasing access to quality, affordable childcare will allow more parents to get and stay in work, while reducing some of the overall economic impacts identified in the report on rising childcare costs. It will also provide children aged 0-5 years with critical opportunities for early learning when 90 percent of their brains will develop. 
Despite the recent increase in these rates, the cost of providing quality child care continues to exceed the cost that reimbursement providers receive to care for our most vulnerable children and families. For this reason, many caregivers accept only a few children at a time, or not at all. This further limits low-income families’ access to high-quality child care. 
We are committed to ensuring that every child in Washington, regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity, culture, primary language, or economic status, has access to the quality health care and early learning they need to succeed academically and in life.

Child Care Resources also operates the CCA WA Family Center, which last year helped nearly 15,000 families across the state find directions and resources for early childhood education. 
Washington is in the top ten states with the least affordable childcare of almost all types for children under 5 years of age. The median cost of childcare in our state for an infant and preschooler at a center is 34 percent of the median household income. The average cost of caring for both children in a family home-based child care program is 27 percent of median income. In general, the cost of childcare relative to family income has increased over the past six years. Since 2011, the average level of childcare has increased from 19-22 percent for centers and 14-22 percent for 90,156 families1, 90,157 while average household income increased by only 18 percent. 2

Over 6000 providers and educators responded.
The goal of the grants is to provide financial relief to child care providers to help defray unexpected business costs associated with the pandemic and to help stabilize their operations so that they may continue to provide care. Child care providers may use subgrants to cover a range of expenses such as personnel costs; rent or mortgage payments; insurance; facility maintenance and improvements; personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID-related supplies, training and professional development related to health and safety practices; goods and services needed to resume providing care; mental health supports for children and early educators; and reimbursement of costs associated with the current public health emergency. To date, only 20 states have posted grant applications for their providers. We know that many of you are trying to figure out how to get your Governor, Legislators, or Lead Agencies to move this process along so that you as providers can receive the money your federal legislators wanted you to have.
S. Legislators know that you want them to ACT NOW!
It is as simple as clicking here to let your U.S. Legislators know that you want them to ACT NOW!
Once you have, contact your Members of Congress and tell them to support sustainable, long-term federal investment in child care that makes high-quality, affordable care a reality for families.
C. are working out the details of the next federal budget, which could be transformative for child care. But these critical investments aren’t promised and we have to fight to ensure that child care isn’t sacrificed during these budget negotiations. We need a game-changing investment in child care, and we need it now. Why? The pandemic has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that child care is the backbone of our economy. We can’t go back to the broken pre-pandemic status quo. We must ensure that: Families can afford child care (adding up to no more than 7% of their income)Families can actually FIND child care. Child care workers earn a living wage
This is a crucial moment for the future of families and child care providers. Your representatives need to hear from you immediately.
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to make doing business as high-quality child care providers and educators more difficult than ever before. As essential businesses, we have continued to keep the doors safely open in order to serve individuals that must go to work.
All the more reason to be vocal with your Governor, State Legislators, and your Lead Agency on what is needed by providers and educators to keep high quality available and affordable NOW and BEYOND. If they do not hear from enough of you, they will make the decision for you. Share this information with parents and business leaders so they know that their voice can also help child care get what is needed to be open and safe during this time. Call or email us if you need help with creating a message that you are comfortable with delivering.

And in terms of the breadth of services provided, we today resemble state social support centers, but on a commercial basis, where there is comfort and personalization. Over the years, there has been a steady growth in turnover, and people are interested in this format. We do not provide care and supervision – we help in personal development, in the case of our Center this is a key point, since, for example, children with the need for an individual approach and correction have an even more unique way of their development. Again, the concept of the norm today has changed radically compared to the concept, say, 20 years ago. 
Parents often ask about relationships with children – what is the right way? That’s right – it’s how they agree. And if they, for example, do not know how to negotiate? Much is written and said about this, but there are still no practical courses “how to live in partnership” en masse.

Modern young women are ready and able to start their own business. But they do not find support among their environment.

The Primorye project was extremely necessary, first of all, for pregnant women with a high degree of risk. 
This year, they showed their worth at the All-Russian Forum “Health of the Nation – the Basis for the Prosperity of Russia” with the project “Mom and Sport”. His presentation was highly appreciated by both healthcare professionals and the public. This achievement was marked by gratitude from the regional health department. 
All this became possible thanks to modern technologies and narrow specialists – neonatologists, anesthesiologists, obstetricians-gynecologists, resuscitators, ophthalmologists, surgeons, psychologists, etc. The BARS information system is being introduced: now the doctor can quickly, using a computer database, get the necessary data about the patient. Women’s consultation works separately. It is important that the chain of succession exists at all stages – from the desire to get a long-awaited pregnancy, to endure it until the birth of a child. Today, in order to receive a complete examination, those women who want to become a mother do not need to travel abroad. 
From different cities and regions of Primorye, the patient can be delivered by air ambulance or a special ambulance. I just spoke with the chief obstetrician-gynecologist of the region: a woman is being transported to us for a period of 28 weeks from Dalnegorsk. She is accompanied by a medical team. 
A prayer room is open, because many pregnant women have a desire to communicate with God, and the rite of baptism of children takes place here. The all-Russian project “School of parents of premature babies” has been developed. By the way, the beauty around the buildings – flower beds, a cherry orchard, planted spruces, memorial alleys of veterans – is the work of employees and patients. Happiness when young parents leave with a smile, leaving us a piece of their warmth. Did you pay attention to our favorite art object “The Tree of Life” in the lobby, where photos of our kids – “early birds” are attached to the branches? There is no more room on that tree.

Elizabeth, who occupied the throne for 70 years, entered British and world history as the oldest monarch. The death of the queen was preceded by an announcement from Buckingham Palace on the afternoon of September 8, which said that doctors “are concerned about the health of the 96-year-old queen and recommend that she be under medical supervision.” Her children and grandchildren, including the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, hurried to the castle. In the evening, mourning was declared in connection with the death of the Queen. Prince Charles, who became king, called the death of his mother “a moment of greatest sadness.” 
During her reign, the Queen made over 200 visits to Commonwealth countries and traveled to almost every Commonwealth country, and made many return visits over the years. Thus, one third of the Queen’s total overseas visits were to Commonwealth countries.

This idea says that God saves all who die before reaching the opportunity to make a decision for or against Christ. Thirteen years is the age most commonly referred to as conscious age, based on the Jewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13. However, the Bible does not specifically say anywhere that this particular age is always conscious. It probably differs from case to case. The child then enters a conscious age when he becomes able to make a decision about whether to believe in Christ or not.
