My son has been going to First Step Day Care since he was four months old, he is now 2. Ms. Zeba has provided excellent care for him. Every day he comes home with a big smile on his face singing songs that he has learned. Ms. Zeba is patient, kind, and treats children like they are her own. Iwould recommend her to anyone who is looking for a daycare provider that will take excellent care of their child….

Dawn Family Daycare

5 stars isn’t enough!!! Our daughter has been there since she was 3 months old. Ms Nadia helped her (and us) transition into daycare so well. Ms Nadia is very organized and communicative and you can tell she truly loves all of the children she cares for. Ms Nadia and her family have taken the timeto learn about our family and connect with us. After our daughter started walking Ms Nadia would send us videos of her and you could hear how excited they all were in the video! It was so cool to see that connection between our daughter and Ms Nadia. Her home is very clean and organized and the tuition is very fair. Couldn’t recommend Dawn Family Daycare more!!…

Description:

To operate a daycare properly, there must be a healthy cycle of respect, integrity and financial responsibility between the client and the daycare. Since this daycare has been licensed for 5 years,consecutively, I can honestly say as the owner that there is no great proof of quality than to have remained a full capacity establishment during one of the biggest recessions in US history, since the Great Depression era. With daycares opening and closing so quickly, due to lack of enrollment or poor performance quality, parents should always research the history of the individual who will be directly supervising their child. I am confident that I will do my part in providing exactly what our daycare contract indicates provided that the parent produces their financial contribution. And Together, we can connect the gap between expectation and satisfaction for our children’s daily journey….

Early Learning Center

“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them” – Mark 10:14

At our Severn Early Learning Center (ELC) we off the SCC promise. We promise to educate your child, at a reasonable and affordable rate, in a safe environment, giving you confidence, with certified staff. Because we offer unique and specialized care, we have a limited number of children we can accept. We are currently accepting new potty-trained children no younger than 3 years of age for the upcoming school year. Please contact us for availability.

As Christ revealed His care and protection for the “little children,” so we too take the care and education of our kids seriously and professionally. We believe our transparency, affordability, education, and facilities offer parents and children the best of both worlds in these important years of development. Check out our rates, times, and information below. Also, if you want more information or a tour, fill out our “Enrollment” form at the bottom of the page or email us here. 

We offer safety as a top priority. Our facilities, trained staff, and protocols set up our ELC to be a safe environment for your family. We keep our doors locked, security cameras running, and background checks all staff who will be working with our children. Our ELC’s safety is a top priority for our mission in serving your family. 

Our seclusion and confinement from the busyness of Maryland help make us a desirable choice for families. Bringing your child to our ELC is like taking them on an adventure into a peaceful and protected farmland. Our location is easily accessible and central to Ft. Meade, Schools, DC & Baltimore, and Rt. 97. However, our facility’s location is set off on a farm with lots of land and open space. You can have confidence in your child’s education and safety. 

We take pride in our MD certification, licensure, and training. Our staff is considered teachers, not babysitters because we lovingly equip your children to learn as well as live. Both our facilities and staff offer safety and security so that your child can be educated in a worry-free environment. This means that your precious child isn’t a “number” to fill a quota but a “person” to be loved and educated. 

We exist to be an outreach ministry of the church by providing a licensed, high quality, and valuable service to the community. We believe that children are a gift of the Lord (Psalm 127:3) and we exist to value these treasured gifts of God and to train and teach them to love and serve God.

SCELC is licensed through the office of child care (within the Maryland State Department of Education). This license regulates class sizes, staff qualifications, and what type of program components must be offered. In addition, state-mandated forms must be completed prior to the child starting the program.

During circle time the children learn Bible stories, ABCs, numbers, colors, shapes, and all about the weather. They also learn about other things via a weekly theme (i.e. vacations, sports, community helpers, etc…). Our effective teaching is accomplished through a combination of an excellent published curriculum and teacher-developed lessons tailored to your child’s needs. We provide a snack during the AM & PM sessions. If the child is staying for lunchtime (11:30 AM – 12:15 PM) a lunch must be provided by the parent. We have a large outdoor playground and a gymnasium for use during inclement weather.

  Dmitry Kandani / vtomske. ru

  The construction of the temple in the Severny Park microdistrict is planned together with the sports ground, and not instead, as some residents fear. The sports complex will be included in the preliminary design of the temple, the rector of the parish of the Church of the Entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem, Priest Dionisy Melentiev, told vtomske.ru.

  Earlier it became known that a temple was planned to be built in the North Park microdistrict. This issue will be submitted for public hearings. For the appearance of the temple, it will be necessary to change the type of permitted use of the land plot located in the P-3 zone, “for sports” to the type of “religious use”. Residents began to express fear that the temple would appear instead of the planned sports ground.

  As Dionisy Melentiev explained, the parish of the Church of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem in the Northern Park microdistrict of the Tomsk diocese was formed on October 6, 2017 by the decision of the constituent assembly. The parish included residents of the microdistrict, “who expressed a desire to jointly exercise their legal right to freedom of confession.” The decision on state registration of a non-profit organization was made by the Office of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation for the Tomsk Region at the end of last year.

  “Currently, Sunday prayers for the parishioners of the North Park microdistrict are held in a temporary building. A full-fledged liturgical life of the parish will be possible only if there is a church,” the priest said.

  In order to allocate a land plot for the construction of a temple, in January 2018, an application was sent to the administration of the Tomsk region. On March 21, a resolution was adopted on the preliminary approval of the provision of a land plot from the territorial zone R-3 (sports and recreation zone).

  “Realizing that this area provides for the placement of a complex for sports and recreational activities, the parish began developing a draft design of the temple with mandatory landscaping and placement of places for family recreation, recreational areas, and a children’s sports ground on it,” Melentiev noted.

  He stressed that the construction of the temple does not contradict the sports and health-improving purpose, but, on the contrary, it will give advantages, among which are: proper supervision of the territory, the arrangement of additional parking spaces available to all residents of the microdistrict.

  Melentyev added that the presence of the temple will contribute to “the formation of aesthetic taste, spiritual and cultural development of the younger generation.”

  Public hearings on the construction of the temple will be held on June 29 in the village of Kislovka, to which the Severny Park microdistrict belongs, along Mira Street, 16. Beginning at 18:00.

  Autism spectrum disorders in children

  Alpatsky Dmitry Aleksandrovich Neurologist, epileptologist, EEG doctor

  07. 12.2015

  ---

  Often, mothers come to the doctor with complaints of delayed speech development in a child. But in some children, with a close look, the specialist, in addition, sees the features of the child’s behavior that differ from the norm and are alarming .

  Consider a clinical example:

  Boy S. Age 2 years 9 months. According to the mother, the child’s vocabulary is no more than 20 separate words, consisting of two or three syllables. There are no phrases. Mom says that the child often has tantrums, is restless, it is difficult to fall asleep. The child’s mother has no other complaints. On examination, the doctor notices that the child does not look into the eyes, is constantly in motion, reacts with a cry if something is not given or forbidden to him. You can calm the child only by giving him a mobile phone or tablet. Shows interest not in children’s toys, but more in shiny pieces of furniture and interior. Starting to play something, quickly loses interest and switches to something else. Asking the mother, it turns out that the child is very selective in food. Not accustomed to the potty, defecation only in a diaper in a standing position. Difficulty falling asleep and waking up during sleep. The child underwent Electroencephalography and consultations with a clinical psychologist and a speech therapist. Based on the results of the diagnosis and the clinical picture, the diagnosis was made – Autism Spectrum Disorder.

  Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are complex disorders of mental development that are characterized by social maladaptation and inability to social interaction, communication and behavioral stereotypy (multiple repetitions of monotonous actions).

  Back in the middle of the last century, autism was a fairly rare disease. But over time, more and more children suffering from this disorder began to appear. Statistics show that the incidence of ASD in children over the past 30-40 years in countries where such statistics are carried out has risen from 4-5 people per 10,000 children to 50-116 cases per 10,000 children. At the same time, boys are more susceptible to this disease than girls (approximately 4:1 ratio).

  
  Causes of RAS.

  All over the world, until today, scientists studying the causes of autism have not come to a consensus. Many assumptions are put forward. Among the possible factors for the appearance of this disorder in children are some hypotheses:

  – genetic predisposition hypothesis

  – a hypothesis based on disorders of the development of the nervous system (autism is considered as a disease caused by disorders of brain development in the early stages of a child’s growth).

  – hypotheses about the influence of external factors: infections, chemical effects on the mother’s body during pregnancy, birth trauma, congenital metabolic disorders, the influence of certain drugs, industrial toxins.

  But whether these factors really can lead to the appearance of autism in children has not yet been clarified.

  
  Features of the mental development of children with ASD.

  To understand and recognize the presence of autism in a child, parents need to carefully monitor the behavior of the child, notice unusual signs that are not characteristic of the age norm. Most often, these signs can be detected in children under the age of 3 years.

  Childhood autism is considered as a developmental disorder that affects all areas of the child’s psyche: intellectual, emotional, sensitivity, motor sphere, attention, thinking, memory, speech.

  Disorders of speech development : at an early age, the absence or weak cooing and babbling can be noted. After a year, it becomes noticeable that the child does not use speech to communicate with adults, does not respond to a name, and does not follow verbal instructions. By the age of 2, children have a very small vocabulary. By the age of 3 they do not build phrases or sentences. At the same time, children often stereotypically repeat words (often incomprehensible to others) in the form of an echo. Some children have a lack of speech development. For others, speech continues to develop, but there are still communication impairments. Children do not use pronouns, address, speak about themselves in the third person. In some cases, there is a regression of previously acquired speech skills.

  Difficulties in communication and lack of emotional contact with others: Such children shun tactile contact, there is almost no eye contact, there are inadequate facial reactions and difficulties in using gestures. Children most often do not smile, do not reach out to their parents and resist attempts by adults to take them in their arms. Children with autism lack the ability to express their emotions, as well as to recognize them in the people around them. There is a lack of empathy for other people. The child, along with the adult, does not focus on one activity. Children with autism do not make contact with other children or avoid it, they find it difficult to cooperate with other children, most often they tend to retire (difficulties in adapting to the environment).

  H disruption of exploratory behavior: children are not attracted by the novelty of the situation, they are not interested in the environment, they are not interested in toys. Therefore, children with autism most often use toys in an unusual way, for example, a child may not roll the whole car, but turn one of its wheels monotonously for hours. Or not understanding the purpose of the toy to use it for other purposes.

  Eating disorders : a child with autism can be extremely selective in the products offered, food can cause the child to be disgusted, dangerous, often children begin to sniff food. But along with this, children may try to eat an inedible thing.

  Violation of self-preservation behavior: due to a large number of fears, the child often finds himself in a situation that is dangerous for himself. The cause can be any external stimulus that causes an inadequate reaction in the child. For example, a sudden noise may cause a child to run in a random direction. Also, the reason is ignoring real threats to life: a child can climb very high, play with sharp objects, cross the road without looking.

  Disturbance of motor development: as soon as the child begins to walk, he is noted for clumsiness. Also, some children with autism are inherent in walking on their toes, a very noticeable violation of the coordination of hands and feet. It is very difficult for such children to teach everyday actions, it is rather difficult for them to imitate. Instead, they develop stereotypical movements (performing the same actions for a long time, running in circles, swinging, flapping “like wings” and circular movements with their arms), as well as stereotypical manipulations with objects (tweaking small details, lining them up). Children with autism have significant difficulty in learning self-care skills. Pronounced motor awkwardness.

  Perception disorders: difficulties in orientation in space, fragmentation in the perception of the environment, distortion of a holistic picture of the objective world.

  Difficulty in concentrating: children have difficulty concentrating on one thing, there is high impulsivity and restlessness.

  Poor memory: often both parents and professionals notice that children with autism remember well what is meaningful to them (this may cause them pleasure or fear). Such children remember their fear for a long time, even if it happened a very long time ago.

  Features of thinking: experts note difficulties in arbitrary learning. Also, children with autism do not focus on understanding the cause-and-effect relationships in what is happening, there are difficulties in transferring the acquired skills to a new situation, the concreteness of thinking. It is difficult for a child to understand the sequence of events and the logic of another person.

  Behavioral problems: negativism (refusal to listen to the instructions of an adult, to perform joint activities with him, leaving the learning situation). Often accompanied by resistance, screams, aggressive outbursts. A huge problem is the fears of such children. Usually they are incomprehensible to others, because often children cannot explain them. The child may be frightened by sharp sounds, some specific actions. Another behavioral disorder is aggression. Any disorder, violation of a stereotype, interference of the outside world in a child’s life can provoke aggressive (hysteria or physical attack) and auto-aggressive outbursts (damage to oneself).

  Each case of the disease is very individual: autism can have most of the listed signs in an extreme degree of manifestation, and it can manifest itself only in some barely noticeable features.

  
  Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders

  To diagnose autism, specialists use the criteria of 2 international classifications: ICD-10 and DSM-5.

  But the main three criteria (“triad” of violations) that can be distinguished are:

  – violation of social adaptation

  – violations in the communication sphere

  – stereotypical behavior

  The main diagnostic steps include:

  – examination of the child by a psychiatrist, neurologist, psychologist

  – observation of the child and filling out the “Autism Rating Scale”, which can be used to determine the severity of the disorder

  – conversation with parents

  – filling in questionnaires by parents – “Questionnaire for the diagnosis of autism”

  
  PAC species

  There are several existing classifications of ASD, and the separation often occurs on completely different grounds, which, of course, can bring some inconvenience to a person who is initially little familiar with medicine or psychology; therefore, the most basic and frequently encountered types of ASD will be highlighted below: – Kanner’s syndrome (Early childhood autism) – characterized by a “triad” of the main violations: difficulty in establishing contacts with the outside world, stereotypical behavior, as well as a delay or violation of the communicative functions of speech development . It is also necessary to note the condition of the early onset of these symptoms (up to about 2.5 years)

  It manifests itself in children in 4 forms, depending on the degree of fencing off from the outside world:

  Complete detachment from what is happening. This group is characterized by the absence of speech and the inability to organize the child (to establish eye contact, to achieve the implementation of instructions and assignments). When trying to interact with the child, he shows the greatest discomfort and impaired activity.

  Active rejection. It is characterized by more active contact with the environment than the first group. There is no such detachment, but there is rejection of a part of the world that is unacceptable to the child. The child shows selective behavior (in communication with people, in food, in clothes)

  Preoccupation with autistic interests. It is characterized by the formation of overvalued addictions (for years a child can talk on the same topic, draw the same plot). The gaze of such children is directed at the face of a person, but they look “through” this person. Such children enjoy the stereotyped reproduction of individual impressions.

  Extreme difficulty in organizing communication and interaction. Autism at its mildest. Children are characterized by increased vulnerability, contact with the world stops at the slightest sensation of obstacles. These children can make eye contact.

  – Asperger’s Syndrome. Formed from birth. Children have an early onset of speech development, a rich vocabulary, developed logical thinking, and there are no disorders in mental development. But at the same time, the communicative side of speech suffers: such children do not know how to establish contact with other people, do not listen to them, can talk to themselves, do not keep a distance in communication, and do not know how to empathize with other people.

  – Rett syndrome. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the development of a child up to 1-1. 5 years proceeds normally, but then the newly acquired speech, motor and subject-role skills begin to disintegrate. Characteristic for this condition are stereotypical, monotonous movements of the hands, rubbing, wringing, while not carrying a purposeful character. The rarest of the presented diseases, occurring almost always only in girls.

  – Childhood psychosis. The first manifestation of symptoms before 3 years of age. It is characterized by violations of social behavior, communication disorders. There are stereotypes in behavior (children run in a monotonous circle, sway while standing and sitting, fingering their fingers, shaking their hands). These children have eating disorders: they can swallow food without chewing. Their unclear speech can sometimes be an incoherent collection of words. There are times when children freeze in place, like dolls.

  – Atypical autism. It differs from autism in terms of age manifestation and the absence of one criterion from the “triad” of major disorders.

  
  Correction of patients with ASD

  One of the most important sections of habilitation for children with ASD is undoubtedly the provision of psycho-correctional and social rehabilitation assistance, with the formation of social interaction and adaptation skills. Comprehensive psycho-correctional work, which includes all sections and types of rehabilitation assistance, which will be described below, is, along with drug therapy, an effective means of stopping the negative symptoms of ASD, and also contributes to the normal inclusion of the child in society. Types of RAS correction:

  1) Psychological correction – the most common and well-known type; It is characterized by a fairly wide range of methods, of which the TEACCH and ABA-therapy programs are most widely used and recognized in the world.

  The first program is based on the following principles:

  – The characteristics of each individual child are interpreted on the basis of observations of him, and not from theoretical ideas;

  – increasing adaptation is carried out both by learning new skills and by adapting existing ones to the environment;

  – Creation of an individual training program for each child; use of structured learning; holistic approach to intervention.

  The second program is largely based on learning, which depends on the consequences that have arisen after the behavior. Consequences can be in the form of punishment or reward. In this model, it is necessary to highlight the main methods, such as the procedure for creating a contour and reinforcing behavior similar to the target; method of teaching chains of behavior; method of teaching discrimination of stimuli.

  2) Neuropsychological correction – this type includes a set of exercises consisting of stretching, breathing, oculomotor, facial and other exercises for the development of the communicative and cognitive sphere, and the exercises themselves differ markedly in time and quantity.

  3) Work with the child’s family and environment – first of all, this type of correction is aimed at alleviating emotional tension and anxiety among family members, since parents of children with ASD often also need help, including psychotherapeutic support and training programs (such programs are mainly aimed at developing feelings of understanding of the problem, the reality of its solution and the meaningfulness of behavior in the current family situation).

  4) Psychosocial therapy – in fact, work with the child himself to form the cognitive, emotional and motivational-volitional resources of the individual for the possibility of further social adaptation, the need for which becomes more pronounced as the child with ASD grows older.

  5) Logopedic correction – given the fact that speech development disorder is one of the cardinal manifestations of ASD, this type of work with a child will be an integral part of the correction program. It is characterized by a focus on the formation of vocabulary, the development of auditory attention, as well as phonetic and speech hearing.

  6) Medical correction of RAS. In some forms of autism, medication is needed for the child. For example, to improve concentration and perseverance, a doctor may prescribe vitamins and nootropic drugs that improve thinking processes and stimulate speech development. And with high impulsivity, aggression, negativism, pronounced signs of “withdrawal into oneself”, psychotropic drugs can help. In some cases, autism is combined with epileptic seizures. In such cases, anti-seizure medications are needed. Many mothers are afraid of drugs. But drugs are prescribed for a certain period, and not forever. Adverse drug reactions are rare. And the result of the effect in most cases is worth the courage of the parents. In each case, it is necessary to individually decide what kind of therapy is needed. And the doctor should be able to clearly explain to parents all questions regarding medications.

  The Children’s Diagnostic Center in Domodedovo has all the facilities for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders. Such as: examination by a child neurologist, clinical psychologist, speech therapist, examination – electroencephalography and video EEG monitoring. As well as correction techniques, such as ABA therapy.

They always welcome you to visit anytime, just really couldn’t ask for more. They’ve put my heart at ease many times. He’s way settled in now and really coming out of his shy shell, learning so much each and every day! It’s a big step having to hand your child over to strangers, but let me tell you that this incredible group of people will do everything in their power to make you and your children feel at home. Love them! Read More abigaildunn0523 It’s an excellent place. Not only do they truly care about my son but they care about the parents and how they feel.

Be generous with bonuses Many companies give their employees two weeks of paid vacation, but how many of them are willing to compensate? Million Dollar Baby Co. rethought this concept. The enterprise, which has nearly 150 employees, is offering workers a $700 annual subsidy for any domestic travel, with one condition: upon returning from vacation, the worker must share new knowledge with his team. “One of the team members recently talked for 20 minutes about how dolphins are trained in Moorea,” says CEO Teddy Fon. “It was fun and overly detailed. But it’s moments like these that bring the team even closer.” 2. Invest in people and business at the same time Scott Kimberley runs a five-person law firm. She is based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Every year, Kimberly sends her employees to a tailor in Manhattan, where a custom-made suit is made for each member of the team. “It’s a win-win for me,” says Kimberly. “My employees feel valued and exude confidence.” Kimberly understands that although large companies are attracting more talent, they are unlikely to spend $1,200 on suits in their first year of operation. “I hope this approach helps maintain team loyalty and emotional well-being,” says Kimberley. 3. Reward employees in a timely manner Headsets.com has 31 employees, and while most of them work remotely, the company is committed to vaccinating all employees against COVID-19. CEO Mike Feith is even offering a $500 bonus to those who get vaccinated before June 2021. “We provide a resource for registration, but everyone can decide how and when to get vaccinated,” Feith says, adding that vaccination is not mandatory. It is very important to encourage employees and keep the workplace safe. 4. Create an enviable environment Rachel Brenke is an attorney and business strategist. Her companies Eden Law and The Brenke Group LLC have five full-time employees. Outside of work, Rachel is a mother of five, author of seven books, and a cancer survivor. Therefore, Brenke knows firsthand how important balance is in life. And the working conditions in her company are quite consistent with this principle. In addition to unlimited paid sick days, quarterly bonuses, and a good retirement plan, Brenke recently gifted an exercise machine to the production director for exceeding 2020 earnings targets. “As a mother of five and an athlete, I know how important this is in a remote work environment,” says Brenke. Meanwhile, Scott Kimberly knows that the suits she buys for her employees are worn outside of work. “I have no doubt that my team members are proud to share where they got this suit from,” she says. “From a leader who cares about her team and wants everyone to feel valued.” “Create an environment in your company where employees can show off to their friends,” Kimberly added. Not only will this improve your business, but it will also help you attract more talent. 5. Keep your work environment comfortable Go Text Blast, Inc. provided an opportunity for all employees to switch to a remote work format long before the pandemic. In addition to the overall salary increase, the company is also giving employees a monthly allowance of $100 to $150 for working from home. “We are a tech startup, so it was important for us to ensure that our team members had the right specifications,” says Matthew Payne, CEO and Chairman of Go Text Blast, Inc.. Bianca Nejjar, Human Resources Manager at Hammerhead, a company that makes storage gadgets, said their company provides 40 of its employees with a $900 annual sports benefit. In addition, employees are entitled to an additional $200 per year for the purchase and maintenance of bicycle equipment. Whether it’s technology, fitness or other benefits, it’s important to provide a comfortable environment that will reflect on the quality of work. 6. Think long term “68% of millennials consider maternity benefits when choosing an employer,” says Parham Zahr, founder and managing director of The Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute in Beverly Hills. EDSI covers 50% of the total cost of IVF and medicines for its employees. The average cost of an IVF cycle is about $12,000, and drug prices start at $1,500 or more per cycle, so their workers save impressive sums. While birth rates are down in 2020 compared to the previous year, Miami-based law firm Mark Migdal & Hayden also believes that family planning is a priority for all members of the team. The company provides four months of fully paid parental leave and four months’ leave afterward at any time during one year. “Studies have shown that parental leave is not only beneficial for employees and companies, but it also helps to avoid postpartum depression and enhances the emotional development of children,” says MM&H founding partner Ethan Mark. Taking care of the team, even outside the office, is essential in the long run. 7. Ask what employees want Million Dollar Baby Co. conducts a survey among 150 employees to assess the level of job satisfaction in the company. For example, “Do you have a best friend in the company?” or “Do you have enough time to communicate with the team?”. “We want to create conditions that really benefit our employees. And when trust reigns in a company, employees tend to give sincere feedback,” says Fon. Source.

His writings were published in newspapers throughout the country and broadcast on the radio. Contents 1 Early years 2 Sports Observer 3 Heritage 4 Recommendations 5 Further reading 6 External link early years Grantland Rice was born in Murfrissboro, Tennesses’ son Hendon, Clamp, 901 and his wife Mary Beulah (Grantland) Rice. [2] His grandfather Major H. W. Rice was a Confederate Civil War veteran. [3] Young Rice in Vanderbilt Rice attended Montgomery Bell Academy and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, where he was a member of the football team for three years, a stop on the baseball team, a brother in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and received a bachelor’s degree in 1901 in classics. [4] On the football team he signed up in the year 1899 as a finish and averaged two injuries a year. He was captain of the baseball team in 1901. [4] [5] Sportswriter In 1907, Rice saw what he would call the greatest excitement he had ever seen in his years of watching sports during a Sewanee-Vanderbilt football game: the catch Vanderbilt center Stein Stone, on a double play pass and then throw near the end zone to Bob Blake to set up a touchdown held by Honus Craig this Sewanee kick at the very end for the SIAA championship. [6] Vanderbilt Coach Dan McGugin at Spaulding Football Manual ‘In the SIAA season recap it was written: ‘Regulations. Firstly, Vanderbilt, secondly, Suani, a very good second.” and that Aubrey Lanier “came close to winning the Vanderbilt game with his brilliant runs after getting the punts.” [7] Rice coached the 1908 Vanderbilt Baseball team. Rice was a supporter of the game of golf. He became interested in golf in 1909 while covering the Southern Amateur Club in Nashville. It wasn’t his first golf experience, but it seems to have inspired him to play. [8] In 1932, Grantland Rice and Bobby Jones (golfer) teamed up for Spalding’s 1932 Golf Guide. [9] After early work with Atlanta Magazine and Cleveland News , he later became sportswriter for Nashville, TN . A job at Tennessee was given to him by former Sewanee Tigers coach Billy Suter, who coached the baseball teams that Rice played against at Vanderbilt. Subsequently, he received a number of prestigious positions in major newspapers in the northeastern United States. At 19’14 he started his Sportlight column at New York Tribune . He also provided monthly Grantland Rice Sportlight as part of the Paramount Newsreel from 1925–1954. [10] He is best known as the successor to Walter Camp in selecting the All-American college football teams starting in 1925, and for being the writer who named the great backfield of the 1924 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team in The Four Horsemen “Notre Dame. A Biblical reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, this famous account was published at New York Herald Tribune October 18, describing the game of Notre Dame against the army played at the Polo Field: Against the blue-grey October sky, the four riders rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are just aliases. Their real names are: Stuldreher, Miller, Crowley and Leiden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another army combat team swept across the polo field abyss this afternoon as 55,000 spectators watched the marvelous panorama spread across the green plain below. This passage gave great meaning to the event described and raised it to a level far beyond a simple football match. This passage, while famous, is far from atypical, as Rice generally wrote in an “inspirational” or “heroic” style, elevating the games to the level of ancient combat and their heroes to the status of demigods. He became even more famous after his columns were syndicated nationwide in 1930 and became known as the “Dean of American Sports Journalists”. He and his works are one of the reasons why 19The 1920s are sometimes referred to as the “Golden Age of Sports” in the United States. All-time Rice All-America backfield has been Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Ken Strong, and Ernie Nevers. [11] His sense of honor can be seen in his own actions. Before leaving to serve in World War I, he entrusted his entire fortune, about $75,000, to a friend. Upon his return from the war, Rice discovered that his friend had lost all the money due to bad investments and then committed suicide. Rice accepted the blame for putting “such a big temptation” in his friend’s path. [12] Rice then made monthly donations to the man’s widow throughout his life. [13] According to author Mark Inabinetta in his 1994 paper, Grantland Rice and His Heroes: The Sportswriter as a 1920s Mythmaker , Rice very consciously sought to make the heroes of the athletes who impressed him, most notably Jack Dempsey, Baby Ruth, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, Red Grange, Tiny Didrikson Zacharias, and Knute Rockne. Unlike many writers of his era, Rice defended the right of football players like Grange and tennis players like Tilden to earn their living as professionals, but he also denounced the distorting influence of big money in sports, as he once wrote in his column: Money to their left and money to their right Money circulates everywhere from morning to night Only two things matter from the mountain to the sea Part of it is percentage, the rest is a guarantee Rice wrote a collection of poems, Songs of the Steadfast , which was published in 1917 by D. Appleton and Company of New York. Grantland Rice’s grave in Woodlawn Cemetery Rice married Fanny Katherine Hollis on April 11, 1906; they had one child, actress Florence Rice. Rice died on July 13, 1954 years old at the age of 73 from a stroke. [2] He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York. Legacy In 1951, in recognition of Rice’s 50th anniversary in journalism, an anonymous sponsor contributed $50,000 to create the Grantland Rice Fellowship in Journalism The Community Foundation of New York. [14] In 1954, the Football Writers Association established the Grantland Rice Memorial Award, given annually to an outstanding college player selected by the group. [15] The Grantland Rice Bowl, an annual varsity football bowl game held from 1964 to 1977, was named after him, as was the Grantland Rice Award given to the winner. Rice was posthumously awarded the 1966 J. G. Taylor Spink Award through the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The award, presented the following year at the Baseball Hall of Fame’s annual induction ceremony, recognizes “merit in baseball writing.” [16] Vanderbilt provides a four-year fellowship named after Rice and a former Vanderbilt colleague and alumnus. The Fred Russell is awarded each year to an incoming freshman who intends to pursue a career in sports writing. Among the recipients of the Fred Russell–Grantland Sports Writing Scholarship, Rice is a writer and humorist. Roy Blount Jr.; Skip Bayless from Fox Sports [17] The press box at Vanderbilt Stadium at Vanderbilt University is dedicated to Rice and named after Rice’s protégé, Fred Russell. Over the years, part of one floor of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism has been named the “Rice Suite Grantland”. Grantland Avenue in his hometown of Murfreesboro, Tennessee was named after him. Rice is mentioned in I Love Lucy episode titled “Camping Trip” portrayed by Tennessee-born actor Lane Smith at 9 “ESPN Statement Regarding Grantland – ESPN MediaZone U.

Still from the film “Gorky’s Childhood” 1938 Good Deed is one of the brightly positive characters in the story “Childhood” by Maxim Gorky. A good thing is a close friend of the main character, Alyosha Peshkov. This article presents a quotation image and characterization of the Good Cause in the story “Childhood” by Gorky: a description of the character and appearance of the hero, Alyosha’s friendship and the Good Cause. The story about Good Deed and his life in the Kashirins’ house can be found in chapter VIII of the story “Childhood”. See: – Summary of the story “Childhood” – All materials on the story “Childhood” Good Deed in the story “Childhood” by Gorky: image, characterization, description, friendship with Alyosha Good Deed is one of the lodgers living in the Kashirins’ house: “… But the parasite Good Case. He rented a room in the back half of the house next to the kitchen, long, with two windows – into the garden and into the yard … “ The real name of Good Deed is not indicated in the story: “… Lenka, shout Good Deed to drink tea!. .” “… He was silent, inconspicuous, and when he was invited to dine, to drink tea, he invariably answered: – Good deed. Grandmother began to call him in his eyes and behind his eyes. – Lenka, shout Good Deed to drink tea ! You, Good Deed, why don’t you eat enough?..” Appearance of a Good Deed: “…He was a thin, round-shouldered man, with a white face in a black forked beard, kind eyes, wearing glasses…” “…a pinkish smile flashed on his chalky face.. .” “…wiping his glasses, sniffing the blueprints, almost touching the paper with his thin and straight, strangely white nose…” odorous, disheveled and awkward…” “…a crumpled, dirty collar of his shirt stuck out over the collar of his jacket, his trousers were stained and patched, on his bare feet there were worn-out shoes…” “…the merry military wife called him ‘chalk nose’.” “…holding out her hand to me in ulcers and burn scars…” “…looking somewhere past with the blind eyes of an eagle owl. .. “ “…mumbles, biting his red lips, or draws softly in a hoarse voice…” like a kitten…” Good Deed – kind person: “… with kind eyes…” Good Deed – a silent, inconspicuous person: “…He was silent, inconspicuous…” “…always in the corner, near the stove, motionless and silent* sticking out the Good Deed…” (* mutely – silently) Good Deed speaks little, but is always expressed in the right words: gently pushed me and pointed with his eye, winking…” A good deed is fond of chemistry and is engaged in experiments: “… His whole room was crammed and littered with some boxes, thick books of civilian printing unfamiliar to me, everywhere there were bottles with multi-colored liquids, pieces of copper and iron, rods of lead. from morning to evening he … melted lead, soldered some copper things, weighed something on small scales, mumbled, burned his fingers and hurriedly blew on them, stumbled over to the drawings on the wall . .. ” Good Deed – poor man: “…he was poor…” Good Deed – a very lonely person: “…You see, I’m terribly alone, I don’t have anyone! in the soul, it will break through … Ready to speak to a stone, a tree … ” Good Deed – a very nice person, but no one in the Kashirins’ house appreciates this, except for Alyosha: “… I started talking about what is in this a very nice man lived in the room, but no one liked him…” Friendship of Alyosha and Good Cause Nobody in the Kashirins’ house likes a Good Deed, except for Alyosha: “… Nobody in the house loved a Good Deed; everyone talked about it laughingly…” “… they didn’t love…” Alyosha is drawn to a good deed, because he understands his loneliness: “…And I was drawn to him again. alone, ”there was something understandable to me in these words, touching my heart, and I followed him . .. “0016 Alyosha and Good Deed become friends: “… We became friends. From that day on, I came to Good Deed whenever I wanted, sat in a box with some kind of rag and unrestrictedly watched how it melts lead, heats copper …” Alyosha is firmly attached to the Good Cause: “…I quickly and firmly became attached to the Good Cause, it became necessary for me both in the days of bitter insults and in hours of joy. Silent, he did not forbid me talk about everything that came into my head…” Sometimes Alyosha and Good Deed look silently out the window for a long time: Alyosha understands Good Deed very well: all superfluous, incorrect words, before I had time to say them, I saw and cut off away with two affectionate blows: – You’re lying, brother!..” Good Deed says wise words that Alyosha remembers for the rest of his life: “…Sometimes he unexpectedly spoke words to me that remained with me for the rest of my life. .. “ The Kashirins’ house doesn’t like the Good Deed because he’s not like everyone else: “…– Why don’t they love you, nobody? <...> – Alien – do you understand? That’s for it. Not like that…” Even Alyosha’s kind grandmother doesn’t like the Good Deed: “…everyone, even grandmother, explained it differently, hostile to the freeloader, incorrectly and insultingly. – Why are you sticking around with him?” Grandma asked angrily. “Look, he will teach you something…” “.. .Grandma is afraid of you, she says you are a warlock…” Grandfather beats Alyosha for every visit to the Good Deed room: “…And grandfather beat me severely for every visit to the freeloader, which became known to him.. .” “…and grandfather [says] also that you are an enemy to God and dangerous to people…” Grandfather survives Good Cause from home, and he leaves to live in another place: “. ..Finally they survived him…” “…and grandfather refused him an apartment…” Alyosha resents grandma and grandpa for surviving Good Deed: “…Why did you send him away? <...> You are all fools…” Good Deed – one of the best people in Alyosha’s life : “…Thus ended my friendship with the first person from an endless series of strangers in my own country, her best people…” This was a quotation image and characterization of Good Cause in Gorky’s story “Childhood”: a description of the character and appearance of the hero, Alyosha’s friendship and Good Cause. See: All materials on the story “Childhood” Happy childhood, or who to say thank you for this Now it has become very fashionable to post photos from the sixties, seventies, the last century on the net. Photos of childhood. In these photos, children with skates, skis, snowball fights, snowmen, or with balls, on the river, in bathing shorts in accordance with the fashion of those years, in the park on the carousel. Well, and so on. And next to it are photos of modern children. With iPhones, phones, iPads, tablets and computers. And signatures, almost in large letters – they are, well, those children, modern, poor and unfortunate, downtrodden and miserable. And here they are, well, those children from the past, happy, healthy, hardened, and so on. Actually, this whole dilemma – who has a happier childhood, is from the same opera (problem) called “fathers and sons.” I think that all those who zealously yell about their happy childhood, which took place in the last century, are somewhat cunning. He is cunning in that he was happy with those toys that are wooden and nailed to the floor (in this sentence, evil sarcasm, for those in the tank). It is cunning that modern children with their devices and gadgets are not entirely happy, but on the contrary, they are miserable and orphans. But this is not true. The truth is that all children, of any age, unlike adults, live HERE AND NOW. They still lack the memory of the past, not genetic, but ordinary memory – memories, nostalgia. They don’t pan their lives. They can dream of becoming astronauts, policemen, firefighters, prostitutes, bandits, deputies, ministers (every generation has its own dreams). But they don’t make plans – how to buy a car, how much to pay off a loan, how to feed a family, stupidly, where to get money? Yes, the awareness of who your parents are and what kind of spoon you have in your mouth comes to modern children earlier. If earlier children thought about this around the age of sixteen/seventeen, now this awareness comes much earlier. But the fact that this awareness comes is not always the merit of children. This is most likely the fault of the parents, who have not yet matured, and continue, as in kindergarten, to find out among themselves who is pissing higher on the wall, regardless of the time of stitching. Drawing children into their adult games. So it was in the last century, in the same way, if not more acutely, things are the same now. Half of children’s complexes are imposed on children by adults who simply stupidly do not understand life and draw children into their adult showdowns. But in fact, children are concerned about completely different problems, and completely different things. At any time for any child, the problem of a broken toy is a tragedy. Tragedy on the brink of the collapse of the world. And the child does not care what parents will buy food, clothes, fill the car with. He doesn’t give a damn about it. His toy is BREAKED! That’s the problem. And the rest of the crap becomes important to him only years later. He is worried about what is there, behind that distant turn? Where does the sun go to sleep? Why don’t people fall off the globe when they are at the bottom? Where is the bottom of the earth? And what….? But why….? The fact that children of the last century spent more time outdoors. Here, yes. Here the argument is ironclad. But the answer is no less compelling. You can’t play football in an apartment. All children’s games from the past were connected with the street. Therefore, they spent more time on it. But one more, no less weighty argument. He is for and against at the same time. In my time, and I spent my childhood in the wild steppes of Transbaikalia, even in a village surrounded on all sides by camps (zones) and settlements with settlers (chemists) at eleven o’clock in the evening it was much calmer on the street than now at three o’clock in the afternoon in the central park of any city in central Russia. So that modern parents will think eight more times whether to let their child go outside? Or let him sit at home at the computer, but safe and sound. So, do not be cunning fellow adults with childhood from the last century, we are on the street with a ball and a puck, with wooden pistols and Cossack robbers. I think so – give you the same gadgets, computers and smartphones in your childhood, but who the hell would make you play the same Cossack robbers. Or run with wooden pistols to play war games when you can drive on the same phone in DODU. You just didn’t have such toys!!! Those who post such photos with appropriate captions are cunning. And maybe everything is easier. The complex of unhappy childhood with wooden toys nailed to the floor makes these very nailed toys look like the best happiness. This version is supported by the fact – how many adults now, right here and now, are killing time on social networks? But it is a kind of toy for adults. Or the fact – how many adults, as a percentage of children, sit in online games? In general, there are much more adults on the Internet than children. But adults working, that is, earning money on the Internet, are much less than the same young generation. Here is your grandmother and St. George’s Day. One should not compare what cannot be compared. Childhood of the last century and modern childhood. Every childhood has its own happiness. And the taste of ice cream too. And even the trees of each childhood have their own height. Children cannot choose. Children can only enjoy what their time gives them. Because children, I repeat, live HERE AND NOW. And please, adult comrades, stop talking nonsense, and don’t interfere with your adult games and showdowns. It is not necessary to interfere with childhood to be happy. And the fact that today’s children spend little time on the street lies in a completely different area. And this topic completely depends on the will of adults. But adults do not decide this topic. It’s easier for them to whine that their childhood was happier, however, forgetting who and how provided them with this happiness. 26.01.20 Alexander Malofeev: Tchaikovsky has been with me since childhood Among the many events dedicated to the anniversary of P.I. Tchaikovsky, the release by Sony Classical of the complete collection of symphonies and instrumental concertos by the greatest Russian composer, performed by the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan under the baton of Alexander Sladkovsky, is noticeable, in the recording of which many outstanding musicians took part. With one of them, a young talented pianist Alexander Malofeev (AM) Irina Shymchak (IS) spoke. ISH On May 7 the world celebrates the 180th anniversary of P.I. Tchaikovsky. You took part in the recording of the complete collection of symphonies and instrumental concertos by Tchaikovsky with the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan under the direction of Alexander Sladkovsky, which was released on May 1 on the Sony Classical label. What exactly did you perform? AM I was entrusted with the First Concert. Alexander Vitalyevich Sladkovsky and I have a very warm relationship. First, he offered me to perform the Third Concerto for recording, and when he found out that I couldn’t play it in time, he said: “Come on the First.” It was very unexpected for me. I remember the day we recorded as incredibly bright and filled with fun. It happened in Kazan, Pavel Igorevich Lavrenenkov, a wonderful sound engineer from the Moscow Philharmonic, was with us . .. I think our tandem was able to convey this sublime joy in music. We had a very close-knit team. ISH Which edition of the concerto was chosen for recording? AM I played Siloti’s version, although I also know Peter Ilyich’s version. Here the question is purely technical: all the orchestras of the world are accustomed to Siloti’s version and insist on playing it. When an organizer wants Tchaikovsky’s First Concerto, he has in mind the kind of music he is used to, and if you start arpeggiating chords from the first bars, this is, of course, very beautiful, but bewildering. With Alexander Sladkovsky at the Saydashev Concert Hall ISH How long did it take to record? AM About half a year. After the session itself, Pavel Igorevich and I continued to work remotely. This is a very painstaking exercise in headphones at the computer: I listened to the recording many times, made lists of edits, and Pavel Igorevich sent new versions. This homework took much longer than the actual recording with the orchestra in Kazan. ISH What is your impression after working with Alexander Sladkovsky and the orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan? AM We played a lot with Alexander Vitalyevich even before recording. But the First Tchaikovsky with him at the console was never played. Despite this, absolute freedom was felt on the stage. Of course, we re-recorded some places with the orchestra, I also wrote solo cadenzas after the general session. But inside the orchestra there was an amazing involvement in the process. I think that Alexander Sladkovsky and his team is a rare example of a union that puts the desire to create music at the forefront. We managed to realize all the ideas that I had before coming to Kazan. And it seems to me that this recording of the First Concerto is permeated with spring freshness and lightness, which we now really lack. This is the level of interaction that is not always possible to achieve in concerts even with several rehearsals. ISH And how did Peter Ilyich enter your life? AM I don’t remember, it seems to me that he has been with me since childhood. And “The Seasons”, and the Children’s Album, and concerts – this is what is inherent in us with our genes. Have you noticed that the First Concert is now part of popular and mass culture? He’s really great, and the frequency of his performance doesn’t make him worse. ISH Since we remembered our childhood, let’s talk about how it all began. When did you first feel that the piano was your instrument? AM As long as I can remember, music has always been around. At the age of five, my parents took me to the music school named after N.P. Osipova opposite the house where we lived, to the same teacher with whom my older sister studied, and this teacher was Elena Vladimirovna Berezkina. In parallel, I studied at the linguistic gymnasium. Of course, sometimes I resisted, but my parents were still adamant ( smiles ), and for this I am very grateful to them. I played a lot at Moscow venues and competitions. And then, at the age of 11, the first big competition in my life happened – Astana Piano Passion, where for the first time I played Grieg’s concerto with the orchestra (moreover, I played it in its entirety – then the rules allowed). After this competition, when I returned to Moscow, I had my first solo concerts, I began to go on big stages, often playing with orchestras. The teacher and I planned the repertoire, taking into account future performances, sometimes a year in advance. I think that at the moment when I was eleven years old, I caught fire with music myself. And at twelve, after winning the VIII International Tchaikovsky Competition for Youth in Moscow, I moved to the Gnessin School and continued to study there with my own teacher. Of course, in Gnesinka it was much easier for me than before. ISH Was Elena Vladimirovna your teacher from the very beginning and throughout your studies at Gnesinka? AM Yes. We have a very warm relationship, and when a year ago I entered the Moscow Conservatory to Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky, our communication was not interrupted. I love meeting her every time. Her opinion, I think, will always be one of the most valuable for me. With Elena Berezkina ISH Was it the same teacher who gave you hands, introduced you to the profession of a musician? AM Yes, those hands that she gave me at the very beginning help me now. But, as you understand, our teachers are not only hands. Every musician, I believe, can talk for hours about what a person who has dedicated part of his life to him means to him. And if it’s 12 years old… I can only say that Elena Vladimirovna is an incredibly talented teacher. ISH But your fate was changed by the Tchaikovsky Youth Competition? AM Absolutely. I played the Second Concerto of Saint-Saens on the stage of the BZK, at the age of 12. It was then that I probably really felt the responsibility of the performer to the public, to the people who believe in you and support you. It was truly a turning point, a moment of growing up. I realized that the choice had been made. And then in 2014 there was Gnesinka with its amazing atmosphere, largely created by our director Mikhail Sergeevich Khokhlov. My work rhythm has accelerated significantly. ISH What basic principles were laid down in you during this period of study? I mean, playing standards, musical experience, what is left with you for life. AM In Gnesinka, I got real musical communication, because until the age of 12 I was practically isolated, outside the professional environment. In addition, in preparation for entering the Gnesinka, in the linguistic gymnasium, I jumped from the sixth to the seventh grade in the middle of the year. I became more serious about music, and relationships with classmates came to naught. In Gnesinka, I finally found my home, got into an atmosphere of creativity and communication with people obsessed with the same. We discussed everything together and now we study together at the conservatory. I think it is very important for a musician to be in his habitat as soon as possible, including next to older comrades. ISH Does this friendship continue? AM Yes, someone entered the conservatory, someone went abroad, but we correspond. I have the warmest memories of this school. ISH How were the final exams at the Gnessin School, and what was in the specialty program? Was it easy or difficult? AM In fact, it turned out to be impromptu, because I just came from a competition in China and got “from the ship to the ball.” There was a big five-round marathon in Beijing. I lived there for about a month, and all this time I studied for twelve hours. When I returned, it was necessary to finish school not only in my specialty. It was a difficult period. I had to repeat Bach and the etudes the day before. Much, of course, was in the hands, so the impromptu was a success. As a result, he played Beethoven’s Appassionata, Rachmaninov’s Second Sonata, Chopin’s Etude, Liszt’s Mazepa. ISH After graduating from the Gnesinka, you entered the Moscow Conservatory under Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky, but managed to unlearn from him for less than a year. How do you remember him? AM He radiated some incredible light every time we met. I was with Sergei Leonidovich almost all the time in Moscow. He was interested in everything: what happened on trips, how we lived in hotels, what piano was provided for the performance … I constantly called him when I left. We made plans for the future. Sergei Leonidovich is a legend of the Moscow Conservatory and of all Russian culture. You can talk for a long time about his professional qualities, they are known to everyone, but I will remember him as an incredibly kind, touching person. This short period, which I spent with Sergei Leonidovich, became for me the most peaceful time in my still not very long life. I guess I really found myself. With Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky ISH Did he add something to you, correct or improve something? AM Sergei Leonidovich looked at all the music (this came from his vast experience) with incredible calmness, as if embracing it from above under the prism of his life. He knew all the notes of the main repertoire, he knew what was written there by heart. Only once did he take notes when I played a sonata by Medtner … He constantly listened to my recordings, which I brought from trips, he himself asked me to turn them on. This ability of the overall coverage of the work, very valuable, I hope, to some extent, I was able to take from him. ISH Now all educational institutions have been transferred to distance learning. How do you think the distance process affects the quality of education in music institutions? AM I see this as a temporary evil. For a musician, if we do not take into account independent work at the instrument, when solitude is a plus, distance learning with a teacher in the specialty, and with other teachers, certainly loses in quality. The very process of personal communication, attitude, experience of the teacher are of great importance, and the screen does not let you feel it. It doesn’t make up for it. In addition, sound refraction inevitably arises, this is a purely technical, but gigantic problem. ISH After winning the Youth Tchaikovsky Competition and the Grand Piano Competition, you have become a young star, you probably have a professional management. Who determines your tour map, your repertoire and frequency of performances? AM I currently determine the repertoire and frequency of performances myself, and my mother plans all technical issues – the site and the general schedule. In each country, of course, there are people who deal with this particular country, but in general, all the technical work lies with my mother. To be frank, not a single large concert agency will deal with a website, a schedule, listen to an artist like the closest person. ISH How do you choose the work you will study? Why does your heart go specifically to something? Or does the concert manager advise you? AM The solo program is determined only by myself. I decide the program with orchestras with the conductors I play with. When something excites me, I simply cannot refuse it: for example, at the moment I am drawn to Rachmaninov. Rachmaninov is generally the leitmotif of my life. Until I can stop. I play the Third Concerto, the Second. Rhapsody, Fourth Concerto I’m learning right now. The First Sonata also stands for the next season, and the First Concerto. Rachmaninoff is what I breathe now. I also try to take Medtner’s works to the best of my ability, I feel attracted to them. But, unfortunately, Medtner is not as popular in foreign countries as, for example, Rachmaninov, and there are some problems with the organizers. ISH In summary, you play Tchaikovsky’s First and Second Concertos, Second, Third, Fourth Concertos, Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, both sonatas by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev’s Third, maybe I don’t know something or missed something? AM Prokofiev’s First and Second Concertos are also in progress. Many others: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Saint-Saens, Liszt… ISH Wow. Moreover, at the age of 15 you already played Rachmaninov’s Second Concerto and Prokofiev’s Third. But these are all things that in themselves are the most difficult, not only in terms of technology, but above all – semantic content. Even mature pianists do not always master them. How did you teach them, what helped? AM I played the third Prokofiev at the age of thirteen. I performed it for the first time at the Bolshoi Theater at the tenth anniversary of the Crescendo festival. It was incredibly difficult at the time, especially given my explosive growth in the program. Actually, after 11 years, I very actively began to expand the repertoire. I burned with this music, it corresponded to my cheerful mood for the future, and so far the Third Prokofiev is the most popular concerto in my repertoire in terms of performances. ISH Most popular or most loved? AM It’s hard to say “the most favorite” about a concert when there is the Third Rachmaninov, for example. It’s all very different. ISH There are also two wonderful Chopin concertos… By the way, have you taken on Chopin yet? AM No, haven’t played yet. One should come to Chopin concerts with some kind of irrepressible desire. Just like the Brahms concertos. These two composers are still waiting for me. I now play many solo works by Chopin and Brahms: sonatas, scherzos, various miniatures. And for their concerts, it seems to me, a certain state is required … At the moment there is none. ISH You are growing, changing yourself, your perception of the world and music is changing. Does your reading of these concertos change with age? AM New colors appear with each new performance. Something elusive, something unique happens on the stage, something that cannot be played in the same way. Of course, to perform Prokofiev’s Third Concerto, serious technical abilities are needed, which, obviously, have grown in me since I was 13 years old. But this concert is like a spark, it’s a meteor concert, and only when you play it more than 20 times, you get a feeling of shrinking to one small pixel that flies like a comet overhead and disappears. Somehow I feel it. ISH Probably so. For me, for example, Prokofiev is the sunniest composer. AM Well, not all. The second concert is very different from the Third, it’s not a spark, it’s absolutely some kind of abyss… I don’t even know how to describe in words my attitude to this concert. ISH Did you play him? AM I prepared it for this season. I’ve put it aside now, I’m learning something new. I really look forward to when it is needed, because, it seems to me, along with the Third Rachmaninov, it is the most difficult in form, content and load, of course. ISH And for the first time I heard it in the brilliant performance of Vladimir Krainev. It seems to me that Krainev turned out to be surprisingly light and even seemingly festive. AM According to my own feelings, Vladimir Krainev was able to bring hope to absolutely any music. ISH On average, how long does it take you to master the material of any concert? AM All the time I have, and this applies to absolutely any concert. It’s not measured in hours. For example, I learned the Third Rachmaninov very quickly, in a month. At the same time, when I start to remember it before a performance, I don’t see for myself the limit where I can go in it, as in some other works. In terms of drama, semantic fullness and, at the same time, clarity of topics, I cannot compare it with any piano work. In this sense, it requires an infinite amount of time. ISH But he has such a feature that he quickly gets out of hand. The pianists told me that it was the Third Rachmaninov that should be taught every time as if from anew. AM This seems to be very individual. Rachmaninoff was a great pianist and played everything he wrote himself. For me personally, there are much more uncomfortable compositions. I myself have different recordings of this concerto, and as a rule, Rachmaninov’s Third is just such a work where contact with the conductor is very important so that nothing contradicts the music. It is important that all the musicians on the stage are in harmony, so for me the tempo of, for example, the main part is not the main issue in this work. Although I noticed: regardless of what you did at the rehearsal, the conductors go into some kind of trance before this concert of Rachmaninov . .. There is something mystical about it, it seems to me. ISH Let’s continue the theme of composers. Medtner, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev. From the works of these authors, you have planned the next concerts in America, Italy, Spain. Are they the most sought after overseas, or is that what you love? AM For some reason now, really unexpectedly for myself, I noticed that my program mainly represents Russian authors. I don’t see this as some sort of overkill. For me, the process of choosing a program is very difficult and, as a rule, painful. The new program is thought out with much less enthusiasm than it is being done. You need to choose something, and in front of you is all the music of the world – it’s very difficult. It’s hard to explain, but my soul now lies precisely in Russian music, written at about the same time. Something connects my worldview with Medtner, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev. ISH What kind of relationship do you have with composers? Do you perceive them as the authors of the text or as living people? AM When you listen to music, it is impossible to imagine how Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev created their masterpieces. These are absolute gods for me. But when I’m on stage, only the piano exists for me, and I can express anything behind it, everything that I feel at the moment. It seems to me that composers themselves retreat before their own creations, as if receding into the background, leaving the music to live its own life. ISH What do you listen to for yourself when you suddenly have free time? AM As a rule, I listen to symphonic music much more often than piano music. Symphonies by Shostakovich, Mahler, Rachmaninov, sometimes some kind of opera. Music is always in my ears because I find myself in it. I wear headphones all the time. ISH Which of the great pianists of the past is closer to you in terms of sound? AM The twentieth century left a lot of great pianists. For me, three are of primary importance in life: these are Sergei Rachmaninov, Glenn Gould and Vladimir Sofronitsky. ISH Outstanding musicians of our time had a great influence on your life: Vladimir Spivakov, Denis Matsuev, Alexander Sladkovsky. What would you take from each of them for yourself, what qualities appeal to you? AM There is something incredibly attractive about them. These qualities are different for everyone: someone holds himself very high, in the style of Arturo Toscanini, someone, on the contrary, positions himself “closer to the people”, but each of them on the big stage is an absolute sun that you want to look at from which cannot be torn off. It is communication with such people as Vladimir Spivakov, Denis Matsuev, Alexander Sladkovsky, Valery Gergiev, Riccardo Chailly and many others with whom I was lucky to meet that gives a feeling of confidence, a calm attitude towards music, which was promoted by Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky. It’s the feeling that you’ve found your place in life and you’re just making music. You don’t have to look for anything. You just need to put your hands on the piano and listen to what you are playing. With Mikhail Pletnev ISH At the end of December last year you played Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F major with Mikhail Pletnev and RNO. Do you remember what he told you then? AM Mikhail Vasilyevich told me the same thing that I just said. Then we met with him again and discussed my repertoire. He told me about Rachmaninov’s Fourth Concerto. He suggested that in order to play this concert, you need a lot of bile. And this is the place to be, because the impulses that take off in all of Rachmaninov’s work, in his last concert for some reason do not reach the top. They choke all the time. This is what came to Rachmaninoff with age. ISH But he wrote it abroad, in exile, when he was cut off from his beloved Russia. He simply lacked the Russian air, no matter how trite it may sound. By the way, have you been to Rachmaninov’s Ivanovka? AM No. ISH You should definitely go there. When you get there, you will understand what he lacked in a foreign land. AM Yes. And Mikhail Vasilyevich is generally the personification of calmness in music. I don’t think anyone has ever seen him worried or angry. This is an example of the very power that can be hidden behind any face and any hands, but it is incredibly attractive. You look mesmerized. ISH On May 27th and 28th you were supposed to play solo concerts in Spain. The program is beautiful and complex: Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, 4 Pieces for Piano Brahms Opus 119, Tchaikovsky’s Dumka, Rachmaninoff’s Second Sonata and Medtner’s Sonata-Reminiscence Opus 38. Is this a new program? AM Partly, yes. Initially, Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons was planned in it, but, unfortunately, they did not fit for technical reasons. Brahms and Schumann were in the first part, Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons were in the second. When I studied at Gnesinka, I was faced with the task of constantly moving forward, learning something new, something more and more. Then I graduated, and I had a desire to play miniatures. Well, what miniatures can be more harmonious than Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons? I think this is the pinnacle of this genre. But, unfortunately, I never completed this program. I was supposed to play it at the end of February on tour in Italy. I arrived there just on the weekend when the number of cases of coronavirus rose sharply from 10 to 100 people. On the same day, everything was closed, and the organizer of the concert advised me to urgently leave. Then it was very unexpected, and now the whole world is closed … But the plans still do not go astray due to quarantine. I sit and study. New works have already been announced for the fall. ISH Will Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes be played? AM They were planned for an American tour in October. But then again, the mayor of Los Angeles said that there would be no concerts until the end of the year. To be honest, I am very sorry that I did not perform this program anywhere, because for a pianist the most important thing is that what you do at home, alone, is then performed for the audience. Otherwise, anxiety appears and covers a feeling of prostration. Lack of halls, lack of spectators … But this problem is not only mine now. ISH How has your lifestyle changed during self-isolation? AM My lifestyle hasn’t changed that much: I get up the same way, sit down at the instrument the same way and spend almost all the time with it. The only thing that has changed is that there are no concerts. Of course, the abrupt interruption of this dependence on the stage seems to dissolve you. ISH You used to travel all the time, but now you are in one place. Isn’t it annoying? AM In fact, when I go out with concerts, I don’t see many other countries, cities. The purpose of travel is to meet new people. ISH Is it easy for you to communicate with people? AM It’s easy for me to communicate with people, but I can’t communicate with them often. Much more often I communicate with the instrument. ISH What do you think the world will be like when the borders finally open and public events are allowed, including performances in concert halls? AM Everything depends very much on the timing. Many say that this year there will be no more performances. In the summer, I was supposed to have a debut tour in America, participation in big music festivals was planned. If the concerts start only next year, I think it will be very difficult for both the musicians and the public. The main percentage of viewers are people who constantly come to the hall, and everything is based on the need for music and the audience and artists. Artists still have to play. But how natural it will be for both the artist and the person who comes to the hall is a big question. Maybe something will start in the Russian regions in the summer, but the whole world, Moscow and St. Petersburg, most likely, will not open their concert halls even in the fall. ISH If you try to explain in words, what is music for you? AM Music can replace anything for a person. These are the emotions that you get from the instrument, and satisfaction on the physical level. Music is something absolutely inseparable from me. When I’m not playing an instrument myself, I always listen to her. This is my soul mate, with which I have grown so close that a quarantine attempt to tear off some piece of it from me is a tragic situation. I do not exclude that this forced self-isolation will exacerbate depressive moods among people. But I really hope that this period will soon be in the past, and music will help us cope with its consequences. 9Two Angels Two capitals two eras Ninth shaft dozenno 2.0 Defans Defansa Diplomat 900 House on Cosmonauts street House on Lvovskaya street House on the embankment House on Nizhne-Kamenskaya street House on Obruchevyh street House on Radishcheva street House on Tambovskaya House with a fountain House at Elagin Island House at the Karetny bridge House at Nevsky at the spill European park.

But in the current realities, this is not entirely correct. Now orphans and children left without parental care live and undergo rehabilitation in complex centers of social services for the population. There are four such centers in Nizhny Tagil: Dzerzhinsky, Leninsky, Prigorodny and Tagilstroevsky. Kira Volkovskikh, a journalist from the Academy of Sciences Mezhdu Rows, spoke with a Tagil woman who took custody of three children, and with a specialist from the School of Foster Parents of the complex center for social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district, in order to dispel myths about the procedure for registering a substitute family. As noted by Ksenia Lovyagina, a specialist at the School of Foster Parents, many potential parents at the beginning of their journey are wary of the decision to take an “orphanage” child into the family for several reasons. Firstly, many are afraid of paperwork and the fear that the procedure may drag on for a long time. Secondly, many are afraid of “bad genetics”: they say that a step-child will definitely follow in the footsteps of his unlucky parents, no matter what environment he grows up in. Thirdly, people are afraid that they will not cope with raising a child traumatized by a difficult fate and will not receive help from their family members. Oksana and her large family All these are just stereotypes, Oksana, a 33-year-old girl from Tagil, is sure (the name was changed at the request of the heroine. — Approx. ed.). The woman gave birth to her first daughter at the age of 23, and in 2020 she took two girls from the comprehensive center, who are now 5 and 6 years old. This year, Oksana decided to take another child – her youngest son is now 4 years old. “Since high school, I have been thinking about adopting a child. I remember that in the 7th grade I went to a children’s camp in Antonovsky. There was an orphanage nearby. Even then, I asked my mother to take a child from this orphanage to our family, but times were difficult, at 90’s all survived as best they could. Of course, my mother had no time for foster children, ”recalls the Tagil woman. Already in adulthood, Oksana returned to her long-standing desire – to give a family to a child who, for some reason, was deprived of her. But life circumstances did not add up. First, pregnancy and motherhood, then my own business, which took a lot of time and effort. “In 2019, I decided it was time. It was necessary to officially find a job so that there was an official income and a clear work schedule. This was necessary in order to start the procedure for registering a foster family,” says Oksana. – Somehow colleagues went to a social rehabilitation center with volunteer help, I asked them to go with them. There I saw a girl, she was with her brother. Twins. I fell in love with her so much, right at first sight! And she began to collect documents, to study at the “School of Foster Parents”. According to the woman, the collection of papers was much faster and easier than she initially thought. Oksana’s biological daughter took the appearance of a new sister and brother in her life with her mother well, without conflicts and jealousy. The two of them went to the complex center of social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district for classes at the School of Foster Parents. Guest mode is a temporary stay of children in families on weekends and holidays. This practice helps orphans to go through adaptation in the circle of a real family. In addition, the transfer of a child to a “guest” family can serve as the first step towards adoption, an opportunity for adults and the baby to get to know each other better, to understand whether they can live together. “I’ve been allowed to take guest custody. The twins’ mother was in prison. If, after her release, she wanted to pick them up, then she would have to write a statement that she wants to get a job and raise children. According to the law, such a parent is given six months to look for work. If I had taken custody of the twins, they would have been taken from me and given to my biological mother. My daughter got used to these children, but it was not possible to arrange them for permanent custody. My daughter, of course, was upset that we did not take the twins, but took other girls. But then I got used to it, ”says Oksana. When asked if the children know that they were taken from a state educational institution, Oksana laughs in surprise and nods in the affirmative. According to the woman, it never occurred to her that such information should be hidden from children or others. “Girls remember their mother, we discuss her with them. The eldest of the girls needs to talk, to hear answers to questions: why did mom do this, why were they taken away? We went to see the house where they lived. For children, this is very important. Even if they were small when they were left without parents, they still remember them and some fragments from their former life. I took my son when he was two years old, and even he recognized his dad from photographs. Oksana says that her son does not talk to her about his biological parents. But if questions arise one day, then the woman is ready to answer everything without concealment. Oksana does not limit the contacts of her children with their relatives, if the desire to communicate is mutual. The fact that the children are adopted, the mother of many children does not hide not only from them, but also from others. Oksana never noticed condemnation and sidelong glances at herself and does not understand why this, in principle, can be something shameful. Of course, at first, Oksana’s mother and grandmother got used to the adopted grandchildren, but now they treat them the same way as their relatives. “When my mother comes to visit us, she always brings the same gifts. She does not have a division into “ours” and “theirs”. But my grandmother does not have a soul in our youngest son. It doesn’t leave her mouth. And it is not surprising, because he is a charmer, such a pretty little bell boy, ”the mother of many children rejoices. Photo: Unsplash.com / Ekaterina Shakharova Oksana dreams of building a big house for her big family. Despite the fact that she is a single mother, the woman does not expect help from anyone and plans to take more children into her family after expanding her living space. Oksana categorically does not believe in “bad genetics”. In her opinion, a person is formed by the environment: family, friends, relatives, but definitely not heredity. Shifting problems to genetics is just a removal of responsibility from yourself when you overlooked something, missed something, the woman is sure. “Every child has the right to a happy childhood. The main thing is to love and hear your children,” says Oksana. Adoption: from A to Z It is customary in society to call a family that has adopted an orphan an adoptive family. But the foster family is only one of several forms of adopting a child. Also in the legislation there are such concepts as adoption, guardianship, foster or foster family. Together, such families are called in one word – substitutes. Adoption is a form of adoption of a child into a family on the basis of blood rights. After adoption, the child is endowed with all rights and shares in the property, as a natural child, and also has the right to inheritance. Guardianship — adoption of a child under 14 years of age into a family for education. After 14 years, this is already called guardianship, but the essence remains the same. Usually, children of close relatives are taken under guardianship, but it can also be issued for someone else’s child. The guardianship agreement is concluded for a limited time, and children under guardianship are still listed in the database of children for adoption. The rights of the guardian are limited: you are raising a child, but you are not his parents. You do not have the right to change the name and surname of the child, dispose of his property without the permission of the guardianship authorities. Foster family is one of the forms of guardianship. The main difference is that the child is taken into the family on a reimbursable basis, that is, for money. Patronage also belongs to this category. When adopting a child, an agreement is concluded between the parents and the guardianship authorities for a certain period. But there are restrictions: more than eight children, including relatives, cannot be brought up in a foster family. If a child has siblings, then the family should take them all. Separation is allowed in rare cases. The amount of remuneration for foster parents, the amount for the maintenance of children, measures of social support for the family are determined by regional legislation. The foster family is in many ways similar to the foster family, but the main difference is that the rights and obligations are shared between foster parents, guardianship authorities and a state institution under a tripartite agreement. The foster parent acts as an employee who receives wages for his work. Photo: Unsplash.com / Tyler Nix Whatever the form of adopting a child into a family, for people preparing for this serious step, it is mandatory to go through the “School of Adoptive Parents”. There are such schools in every district complex center of social services for the population. “Many people think that adopting a child is a huge paperwork. But in fact, this is not at all the case. Most of the time is spent studying at the “School of Foster Parents”. We always tailor our classes to the needs of the candidates. We discuss with them a convenient time, since many people are working, most often classes are held on weekdays at 18:00. On weekends, we also train parents, ”says Ksenia Lovyagina, a representative of the School of Foster Parents. Classes are held in the form of lectures, seminars, practical lessons, trainings and individual consultations. The entire program of the course is divided into four blocks: legal (social and legal), medical, psychological and pedagogical and social. The program of the legal block includes the provisions of the legislation regarding the protection of the rights of minors. In the program of the medical block, candidates for the role of foster parents get acquainted with the peculiarities of the physical and mental state of health of orphans, as well as with the most common deviations in health and behavioral disorders. In the program of the psychological, pedagogical and social blocks, parents will learn how the situation in the family changes with the advent of a foster child and what needs to be done to improve relations. Also, experts talk about what psychological characteristics are typical for children who have learned what an orphan experience, mistreatment, grief and loss are, about how best to interact with a foster child, teachers, guardianship and guardianship authorities and other organizations. In 2022, the program included classes attended by existing foster parents who have extensive experience in raising children without parental care. These “trainee” families are happy to share their invaluable experience with the students of the school. The main purpose of such meetings is to help future substitute parents to adopt knowledge and experience. Another myth about foster and guardian families: in order to become a foster parent, you must be married. It is worth noting here that if a single person sincerely wants to accept a child into the family, then no one will interfere with this. “One person may well become a substitute parent, we have many families to accompany us, and Oksana is a great example of this,” says Ksenia Lovyagina. The main goal of the Foster Parent School is to help candidates for foster parents understand their motives, personal abilities and psychological readiness to receive a child. It is very important for the school to give the knowledge necessary for the successful mutual adaptation of the family and the child. Specialists at all stages provide comprehensive support to candidates and already established foster families. Students of the “School of Foster Parents” are provided with information and methodological materials on all topics. At the end of the course, they are interviewed and receive a certificate. Graduates of the “School of Foster Parents” / group of the Tagilstroy Center for Social Services on VKontakte Since the beginning of 2022, 18 people have passed and graduated from the “School of Foster Parents” in the Tagilstroy District. Nine graduates have already adopted children into their families. About 200 families are registered in the center, in which more than 300 children are brought up. Specialists of the Foster Families Support Department continue to work with the family even after graduation, providing social and legal, social and pedagogical, social and psychological services. “We provide any psychological assistance free of charge. We go home, always help both parents and children. All families that are assigned to our site are always in close contact with us. We provide support 24/7. And in our center from October of this year, the “Foster Parent Academy” will begin its work. This is a new project, intended for successful substitute parents who, after adopting a child into a family, faced various psychological and pedagogical difficulties ,” says Ksenia. For wards and their parents, specialists from the complex center for social services of the Tagilstroevsky district organize leisure activities: they hold interesting and educational competitions, master classes, hikes, trips, concerts. Families gather in the center to talk, discuss pressing problems and questions. “Our wards have long become one big friendly family. And we hope that even more people will want to come to the “School of foster parents” of the complex center for social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district in order to start their successful path as a substitute parent!” – concludes the specialist of the school Ksenia Lovyagina. all my childhood – Translation into English – examples Russian Russian Arabic German English Spanish French Hebrew Italian Japanese Dutch Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Swedish Turkish Ukrainian Chinese English Synonyms Arabic German English Spanish French Hebrew Italian Japanese Dutch Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Swedish Turkish Ukrainian Chinese Ukrainian These examples may contain rude words based on your search.

All my childhood , while my friends’ dads would tell them Grimm’s fairy tales, my father would tell me stories about very unassuming heroes with unshakeable utopias who managed to make miracles. All my childhood my father took out his anger on me. My whole life, my father abused me. My whole childhood was like this.” My whole childhood was like that.’ All my childhood my mother spent in prison, and my father was not around – until the sixth grade I didn’t even know his name. So throughout my childhood , my mother was incarcerated and I didn’t have my father because I didn’t even learn his first name until I was in the sixth grade. Up to thirty years, all my childhood and youth, I was constantly cold – constantly cold. Up to the age of thirty, my whole childhood and youth, I always felt cold always cold. Therefore, I spent my entire childhood among the Xhosa, Zulu and other representatives of various ethnic groups and cultures. So my whole childhood , I was raised with Xhosas and Zulus and South Sothos and all different cultures.

Military subsidized child care: Child Care Financial Assistance for Military Families Опубликовано: October 10, 2022 в 10:38 am Автор: alexxlab Категории: Child New program to cut child care costs for military families coming to more states A program aimed at reducing child care costs and providing options for military parents is coming to more states. The Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood-Plus program will expand to the Miami-Dade County area in September, to Texas in October and to Colorado in November, said Gilbert Cisneros, Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. The program, which began in 2019 in Maryland and Virginia, expanded to Nevada in September 2021, and to Washington state in February. “We’ll continue our concerted effort to educate states on what Military Child Care In Your Neighborhood-Plus can do and encourage their participation, especially in those states where our military families are stationed,” Cisneros said during the Military Child Education Coalition’s Global Summit Wednesday. “We are looking forward to more states joining us in the coming days.” He said DoD officials are in discussions with officials in California, North Carolina and additional counties in Florida. “It’s certainly no secret that in certain regions and installations around the country we have challenges in meeting the child care needs of some military parents, especially those who would prefer to get their children into child development centers where they know their children will receive expert care and wonderful developmental and early educational support,” he said. The Military Child Care In Your Neighborhood-Plus initiative started in October 2019 as a two-year pilot program limited to Maryland and five regions of Virginia. The current long-standing military fee assistance programs offset the cost of child care in the civilian community when child care isn’t available on the installation. It helps those in locations with long waiting lists for child care, as well as those in assignments that aren’t near a military installation. The program is meant to bring parents’ child care costs in the community more in line with what they would pay for on-base child care. Child care fees on military installations are based on total family income, and the cost of child care is subsidized by DoD. The ongoing military fee assistance programs pay the subsidy to nationally-accredited child care providers in the community as the first choice. The difference in the MCCYN-Plus program is that it pays the subsidy to providers in locations where nationally accredited care isn’t available, to help include more centers and family child care providers. However, if they aren’t nationally accredited, the child care providers must participate in that state’s quality improvement program. That’s over and above required state licensing. As Cisneros noted, the child care providers have to meet DoD’s “standards for quality, and ensure our military children are cared for in safe and supportive environments.” The fee assistance subsidy for community-based child care is the difference between what the service member would pay for child care in DoD programs, and the community-based child care provider’s rate, up to a provider rate cap for full-time care. In 2022, the monthly fee assistance provider rate cap is $1,500 per child per month. In fiscal 2023, all of the military service branches plan to increase the monthly provider rate cap to $1,700 per child per month. The fee assistance programs can make a substantial difference for families. For example, if a family is in category 5, making between $60,001 to $70,000 a year in total family income, their monthly fee would be $516 for full-time DoD child care. If their approved community child care provider charges more — up to $1,500 a month — the parent would pay $516, and the rest is subsidized by the military service branch in payments to the provider. The MCCYN-Plus program means more child care centers and family child care providers could participate in the fee assistance program. In Virginia, for example, MCCYN-Plus meant a possible expansion to more than 800 additional eligible child care centers in regions with military presence. In Maryland, there are more than 4,600 child care programs that can participate. The fee assistance programs are administered by Child Care Aware, which also helps families find accredited community based child care providers as the first choice. The child care providers in the MCCYN-Plus program who have a quality level of three or higher in their state’s quality improvement program are made available to families as an alternative.

Load More Who is Eligible for Military Child Care?  Print Tools Training Center Reference Guide Who is Eligible for Military Child Care? Horizontal Tabs Read Who is Eligible for Military Child Care? Overview There are three factors that determine who may receive military child care services and when they may access care: basic eligibility, priority, and participant age. These factors are described in detail below. A child must be a dependent of an eligible sponsor in order to enroll in any military child care program. The sponsor is a person with DoD-affiliation (e.g., Active Duty military, DoD Civilian). The sponsor’s DoD-affiliated status makes his/her dependent children eligible for military child care services. Basic Eligibility: Eligible Sponsors and Qualifying Children ELIGIBLE SPONSORS Eligible sponsors include: Child Development Program Staff Active Duty Combat-Related Wounded Warrior. Service members designated as combat-related wounded warrior in an Active Duty status require hospitalization, extensive rehabilitation, or significant care from a spouse or care provider and require full-time child care. This designation requires installation commander approval (this authority cannot be delegated). Active Duty Military/Active Duty Coast Guard Personnel Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status DoD/Coast Guard Civilian Gold Star Spouse (Combat-Related). A Gold Star Spouse is the surviving spouse of a service member killed in a combat-related incident. DoD Contractor Deactivated Guard/Reserve Personnel Other Federal Employee Military Retiree QUALIFYING CHILDREN An eligible sponsor may only enroll a qualifying dependent in military child care. A qualifying child is defined as someone between birth and the age of 12 who has one of the following relationships with the eligible sponsor: A dependent or secondary dependent child who lives with the sponsor Any other child for whom the sponsor has legal guardianship and resides with the sponsor A foster child who lives with the sponsor A child who is living with a person acting “in loco parentis” on behalf of the child’s eligible sponsor, who must leave the area temporarily to fulfill a military obligation. An “in loco parentis” relationship is one in which a person takes on the role of a lawful parent by assuming the obligations and discharging the duties of a parent without formally becoming an adoptive parent or legal guardian. In these cases, the child must reside with and be supported by this person while their eligible sponsor is absent. A special power of attorney to act “in loco parentis” is required to be on file. ELIGIBILITY FOR 24/7 CENTER CARE 24/7 Centers are designed to meet the needs of military watch standers and shift workers, and military personnel who are called for duty during non-traditional work hours (e.g., nights, weekends, Federal holidays, etc.). 24/7 Centers must first serve sponsors for whom 24/7 care was specifically designed, including: Shift workers: Shift workers are sponsors or spouses whose regular work schedule occurs outside of standard business hours such as weekends, evenings, or overnight shifts. Examples of shift work schedules include the following: a sponsor who works 2300–0700 Monday through Friday (overnight shift), a sponsor who works a rotating shift with two day shifts (0700–1530) and two afternoon/evening shifts (1500–2300) followed by three days off. Watch standers: Watch standers are those whose work schedules occasionally require child care outside of standard CYP operating hours. An example of a watch stander is a sponsor who is required to “stand duty” on an intermittent basis (e.g., twice a week for three months). As such, 24/7 Centers must offer care to the first eligible family in sequence order whose work schedule meets the program’s available vacancy. See Placement Activities for detailed instructions on the offer process for 24/7 care offered by 24/7 Centers. Priority The purpose of military child care is to support the mission of the DoD by serving DoD-affiliated families so that they may fulfill their military or DoD-related duties. Per DoDI 6060.02, military child care programs must serve the highest priority DoD families first to ensure the most mission-critical families receive access to military child care. DoD has assigned priorities to each military family type (defined below) to ensure that programs meet this requirement. Military family type is the eligibility categorization for military child care that is comprised of the following elements: Sponsor type (e.g., Active Duty Military, DoD Civilian, etc.), and Spouse status (e.g., working spouse, student spouse, spouse seeking employment, non-working spouse), if applicable. Families select their sponsor type and spouse status when they create an MCC household profile and update it, as needed, when there are changes to their sponsor type, marital status, or spouse status. MCC uses this information to create a military family type for the household that automatically ties to the appropriate DoD-assigned priority. For a complete list of all priorities, refer to the see the Military Family Type tip sheet. WAITLIST SEQUENCE To help programs meet the DoD requirement to serve the most mission-critical families first, MCC generates an automated waitlist sequence for each request for care submitted. MCC uses the following aspects of a request to calculate waitlist sequence: DoD Priority Assigned to the Family’s Military Family Type RFC Date: The date the family placed their child on a program’s waitlist (i.e., the date a family submitted a request for care). With few exceptions, program users must make offers for care in order of waitlist sequence. During the offer process, once you describe your program’s available space in MCC, the system generates a Make Offer/Request Interview screen that displays all requests that qualify for the space in order by waitlist sequence. Since MCC uses military family type in its sequence calculation, a change in military family type could affect a request’s waitlist sequence. NOTE: Since military family type is tied to DoD-determined priority for care, program users must verify a family’s sponsor type and spouse status before they may enroll a child in a military child care program to ensure the family has been prioritized correctly and offered care in the correct waitlist sequence. If the program user finds that the family’s sponsor type and/or spouse status was incorrect, and it affects the request’s waitlist sequence once the program corrects it in MCC (i.e., the family’s request is no longer first in sequence), the program user must withdraw the offer and offer care to the next request in sequence on the waitlist. See Manage Enrollment for instructions on what actions to take in MCC if the family’s military family type is incorrect. SPACE AVAILABLE Although eligible for military child care, families with DoD contractors, Other Federal Employees, or Military Retirees (including retired Wounded Warriors) as sponsor types, as well as any military family type with a non-working spouse may only access military child care on a space available basis, after all families with higher priority on the waitlist have been served. WAITLIST EXCEPTIONS MCC accommodates waitlist exceptions including (a) priority exceptions that modify waitlist sequencing; (b) family type exceptions that grant eligibility to otherwise ineligible families; and (c) locally managed exceptions that allow installations to authorize out of sequence offers based on local priorities. To add a waitlist exception to MCC, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or memorandum of agreement (MOA) must be submitted by the Service Representative. At a minimum, the MOU/MOA must contain the following: Installation(s) where the waitlist exception exists Description of family type and/or affiliation for which the exception exists Priority to which the family should be assigned, including spouse status (e.g., working spouse, spouse seeking employment, student spouse, spouse not working), if applicable to exception Relevant program type(s) (e.g., CDC, FCC, SAC) Expiration of MOA/MOU Service Representatives should contact the Program Support Desk to request the creation of a waitlist exception in MCC and provide Support Desk staff with a copy of the MOU or MOA. SUPPLANTING POLICY Priorities are used for more than just placement from the waitlist; they also inform which families can be supplanted. To improve military members’ access to child care, the Office of the Secretary of Defense directed changes to policy that include supplanting lower priority patrons when necessary. Under the new policy, lower priority families enrolled at a facility-based program may receive written notification that their child will be disenrolled in 45 days to accommodate a higher priority family. If supplanted, families can reapply for care. What family types can and cannot be supplanted? Family types that cannot be supplanted include: Child Development Program Direct Care Staff Active Duty Combat-Related Wounded Warriors Single/Dual Active Duty Military/Coast Guard Single/Dual Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status Active Duty Military/Coast Guard with Full-Time Working Spouse Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status with Full-Time Working Spouse Family types that may be supplanted include: Active Duty Military/Active Duty Coast Guard with a part-time working spouse, a spouse seeking employment, a student spouse, or a non-working spouse Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status with a part-time working spouse, a spouse seeking employment, a student spouse, or a non-working spouse DoD/Coast Guard Civilians DoD Contractors Other eligible patrons (Deactivated Guard/Reserve Personnel, Other Federal Employees, and Military Retirees) For more details about supplanting, review the Military Family Types and DoD Priority – Supplanting Matrix handout. Participant Age The table below presents the minimum and maximum ages for qualifying children to participate in military child care program by Branch of Service. Additionally, each program type provides services to a specific age range of children. *Age eligibility for school age children can be extended to eighth grade at a specific installation with approval from the Service Branch HQ. Last revised: 11 Jul 2022 Caring for Children and Retaining Families: The Gaps in Military Childcare In 1989, the Military Child Care Act (MCCA) codified the military childcare system that exists today. This legislation was a direct response to sweeping failures across military installations that resulted in unsafe childcare facilities. The MCCA established $157 million in childcare funding (the equivalent of $356 million today), minimum safety and accreditation standards for military childcare centers, background checks for staff, and a standardized priority and fee structure. Over thirty years later, the military’s childcare system is considered a gold standard. It is safe, highly regulated, and affordable—but only if you can gain access. Military childcare is touted as a benefit for service members, but at most installations, small capacity and staffing shortages mean this benefit is fairly limited. As one Army officer with a physician spouse stated, “It’s not much of a benefit when there is no chance my child will get care.” Childcare Needs Since MCCA’s passage, military demographics have changed drastically. Since 1985, the number of active duty single parents in the military has increased by 67 percent, and the number of active duty dual-military families has more than doubled. In 2018, 37 percent of military families had at least one dependent child under the age of eighteen. Of those children, about 405,000 are under five years old. The proportion of female service members has more than doubled since the 1980s, and 33 percent of female service members report that childcare is their top concern. Mid-careerists are more likely to have children under five years old—childcare aged—than they were thirty years ago. Nearly one-third of military spouses who want to work report they can’t find childcare. National employment trends, along with evidence from Blue Star Families, indicate that up to 60 percent of those spouses either are employed or desire to work outside the home. Put it all together, and the demand for childcare is high. In 2019, approximately two hundred thousand children were enrolled in some form of military childcare, including full-time childcare and school-age centers’ after-school programs for children ages six through twelve. But there were over eighteen thousand children on the wait lists, and nearly 75 percent of them were less than four years old. DoD uses a metric called the demand accommodation rate to measure childcare success, which represents “the percentage of child care needs met through military child care programs . . . and partnerships with local care providers. ” Consistently, this number hovers around 78 percent—meaning that 22 percent of military families who need childcare can’t access it. This figure is consistent with Blue Star Families’ 2020 Military Family Lifestyle Comprehensive Report, which showed that 23 percent of active duty families who have a childcare need were unable to find childcare. When announcing updates to the Army’s parenthood, pregnancy, and postpartum-centric policies in April 2022, Chief of Staff of the Army General James McConville made it clear: “We recruit soldiers, but we retain families.” Simultaneously, one in five service members report they would consider leaving active duty service due to spousal employment issues. Investing in the military childcare system is perhaps one of the fastest and most impactful things the Department of Defense can do to improve retention. Military childcare is a true capacity and accessibility issue being felt across the Army. At Fort Myer, Virginia, one dual-military couple was recently informed there were forty-one other dual-military and single-soldier families ahead of them on the wait list for a handful of infant care spots. At Fort Wainwright, Alaska, the Child and Youth Services director estimates that dual-military and single-soldier families will wait about twelve months from the date they require childcare before being offered a slot at the child development center (CDC). At Fort Bliss, Texas, a dual-military family got placement at the CDC only after the mother had to bring her infant twins to work with her. Her brigade commander intervened and secured childcare at the CDC. Her experience is reflective of many others: when CDCs are inaccessible, there are often no reasonable or affordable options. For military families, this has been a significant source of stress. The mental and emotional labor of securing childcare at a new duty station is already high. Thanks to COVID-19, about 9 percent of the nation’s center-based childcare capacity and 10 percent of the nation’s in-home daycare capacity was lost due to permanent closures. As a result, wait lists at surviving facilities grew. Furthermore, many childcare providers raised fees significantly to make up for lost revenue and cover increased expenses. Military families typically receive permanent change of station orders about one to six months before a move. By the time they’ve identified their new duty stations, it’s often already too late to find childcare. Military families are going to extraordinary measures to circumnavigate the system and secure childcare. In the autumn of 2021, one military spouse put her child on the wait list for every CDC at every base they might get orders to—for their move in summer 2023. Higher-income families may be able to absorb higher costs by using expensive centers, Montessori schools, and au pair or nanny services. Lower-income families—typically junior enlisted families—are being placed in even more difficult situations as those options may not be financially feasible. This is especially concerning, as 29 percent of junior enlisted families also reported food insecurity. These families often need a second income to achieve economic stability but face an uphill battle to secure childcare. Recent updates to childcare policy, including 2020’s updated childcare priority levels, fail to address capacity issues. Instead, policies like these shift the burden from one family type to another. Current plans, like the one briefed by Acting Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment J.E. “Jack” Surash to Congress in May 2021, cite a ten-year, construction-heavy plan that will bring CDC capacity nearly to the level it requires today. While important to improve physical capacity, building for today’s numbers over the next ten years fails to solve current problems. Solving Military Childcare Gaps The civilian sector has seen significant shifts in the labor market due to COVID-19, including a mass exodus of women in the workforce. To attract and retain quality talent, the military needs to ensure the military childcare system can meets its goal of “reduc[ing] the conflict between mission requirements and parental responsibilities,” as opposed to creating conflict and stress for families. First, we need to provide a clear, predicable system that gives military families realistic expectations. The current system, and arguably the current marketing, do not give military families accurate and useful projections on childcare availability. The wait list is a black box algorithm. Inputs include factors such as family status and priority level, time on the wait list, child’s age, and requested care date—but no one can explain to families how they are prioritized and offered childcare spots. DoD’s official childcare website offers an estimated placement date. However, those placement dates are not precise (for example, “May to June 2022,” as opposed to a specific date), and are known for being incredibly inaccurate. Families often show up to a duty station expecting childcare, only to learn they were “bumped” back on the wait list and now have an indefinite wait. DoD needs to adopt a more transparent way to manage wait lists. Families do not know where they fall on the wait list unless the installation’s Child and Youth Services (CYS) staff chooses to disclose that information. Further, CYS staff is not required to offer care to prospective families until six weeks after the date of requested care. Families are left in the dark, or at the mercy of CYS administration. Using historical data and family information can create a more reliable model that predicts an individualized probability of receiving childcare at a given duty station. This would give families the necessary information to make informed decisions about housing, spousal employment, schools, and finding alternate childcare. A family that is told it has a 95 percent chance of receiving childcare by its requested date would make different choices than a family with a 20 percent chance. Providing a probability, as well as an exact location on the wait list, and making that information visible to families would be far more useful than the current date range. Families would be able to get real-time, accurate information to make informed decisions about work and childcare. Second, we need to pay our childcare providers an adequate salary. This change has the potential to have an immediate impact on childcare capacity across DoD. Many installations, including those tagged for construction of new childcare facilities, are not using all the classrooms in current facilities due to staffing shortages. While staffing data is not publicly available, anecdotal evidence from military families across the country shows that many CDCs are understaffed. Increased staffing would immediately result in increased capacity, and likely remove a significant number of children from the wait lists. Adequate staffing not only increases CDC capacity, but also improves the quality of life for current staff. Better work conditions, including a higher wage, can contribute to higher job satisfaction and retention. Higher retention reduces turbulence for our military children, and allows CDC administrators to invest time in training and mentoring current staff, which can also help reduce turnover. The physical, mental, and emotional investment of childcare workers needs to be met with adequate pay. The hourly rate for entry-level military childcare direct-care staff starts at $13.73 per hour, or $28,558.40 annually (before taxes, assuming a forty-hour work week). At mid-levels, it’s just $15.02 to16.86 per hour ($31,241.60 to $35,068.80 annually). In some high-cost areas, the pay is adjusted—but not very much. For example, the starting rate at CDCs around Washington, DC is $15.68. This is a 14 percent increase in taxable base pay, which is inadequate in a market where a service member’s tax-free basic allowance for housing (BAH) is double the base rate. Low pay limits the pool of potentially qualified candidates from which military CDCs can draw. More notably, there is a good chance that a universal pre-K (which would not necessarily substitute for childcare for full-time working parents) could exacerbate staffing shortages across the United States. If DoD doesn’t get ahead of this issue, it could face even more severe staffing shortages in the next decade. There are several ways DoD could support increased caregiver salaries. For example, fee charts could be expanded to better capture high-income families. The current fee system allows lower-income families to access care at a lower monthly cost. However, families in lower income brackets pay a higher percentage of household income. For example, a family earning between $30,001 and $40,000 pays up to almost 12 percent of household income for childcare for one child, versus less than 7 percent for those earning over $140,000 per year. A family of dual-military O-3s earns about $163,000 annually, while dual-military O-4s earn about $190,000. At that income level, a family is paying around 5 percent of annual income for childcare. The current fee system grossly under-charges higher-income families, often at the expense of junior enlisted soldiers. I created a simple Monte Carlo simulation using the current fee chart and an income-revised fee chart. A Monte Carlo simulation is a mathematical technique that allows for simulation of an uncertain event. It provides a range of possible outcomes. In this case, the uncertain event was the fee level at which the patron paid. I modeled the fee level uniformly—meaning each fee level was equally likely to occur. Then, I simulated a CDC with ninety-one children enrolled, and allocated twenty-four direct-care staff to meet ratio guidelines based on various age groups. I ran two simulations: one with the current fee chart, and one with an updated fee chart that captured families earning up to $190,000 per year. After one thousand iterations each, the revised fee chart model resulted in a 14.5 percent increase in gross revenue. In my hypothetical scenario, this generates enough revenue to pay direct-care staff an extra $278 (low end) to $314 (high end) per month. Restructuring the fees charts to be more equitable and capture high-earning families could go a long way in funding increases in direct-care worker salaries. Third, it’s time to cut the red tape from the Child Care Aware (CCA) military fee assistance programs. These programs exist to subsidize childcare for families who cannot obtain CDC spots, either due to a lack of space in CDCs or due to being stationed in a location where CDC care is not available. CCA fee assistance is the approved alternative when CDCs cannot meet demand but presents significant barriers for families. When my family lived in Boston without military bases nearby, we navigated the Army’s fee assistance program. It required a mountain of paperwork from both us and the daycare upfront; it took months to process; and the CCA program failed to provide status updates. Not only was the process cumbersome and bureaucratic, but the fee assistance we received seemed to fluctuate month to month. The CCA fee assistance also fails to adjust for location. Patrons in low-cost areas are allocated the same amount of fee assistance as those in high-cost areas. A family at a low-cost duty station—such as Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri—could use CCA fee assistance for off-base care and pay the same rate as that of a military CDC. However, in a high-cost area like the National Capital Region, families pay two to three times as much for off-base care as they do at military CDCs. DoD adjusts BAH based on cost of living and provides a cost of living allowance (COLA) to offset increased costs of goods and services in high-cost areas. For the CCA system to be more equitable, the fee assistance rate needs to adjust in tandem with COLA and BAH. The military can make significant strides in improving childcare access by creating a transparent wait list system, increasing and retaining staff through better pay, and overhauling the fee assistance program. As the authors of a Joint Force Quarterly article explained, “The implications for readiness suggest that the United States cannot afford to under-invest in childcare.” The military childcare landscape could dramatically change for the better—especially in high-cost, high-demand regions. Improving childcare access is one of the lowest-cost, but most impactful, things we can do for our military personnel and their families, and to improve military readiness and retain soldiers. Maj.

Image credit: Airman 1st Class Madelyn Yepez Gazprombank improved mortgage terms – News from ERZ.RF In the new issue of the project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION”, developers discussed the modernization of the construction industry. Experts reported what has changed as part of the introduction of new digital products and what IT solutions will be relevant in the near future. On October 4, the next online round table of the project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION” was held, where experts discussed the topic: “Modernization of the construction industry.” The main questions of the air: • whether developers are abandoning digitalization in the face of constant challenges and uncertainty; • what will be new at the construction site in the next 2-3 years; • what developers are reorienting their product to now; • cases of optimization and modernization of developers. Participants of the round table: Andrey Erlikh , Finance and Investment Director of IYNO; Konstantin Bulinsky , IT director of Talan company; Alexander Filippov , executive director of the First Trust Group of Companies; Mikhail Besfamilny , director and owner of Orso Group. The broadcast was conducted by the director of the project Svetlana Opryshko (pictured). Ether partner: IYNO (platform for construction management based on reliable BIM data). The project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION” is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Construction of Russia, the National Association of Builders (NOSTROY), NOTIM and VEB.RF. Information partners of the project: portal ERZ.RF, Stroitelnaya Gazeta, news agency Construction Business, Digital Construction publication. While most Russian IT companies concentrate on the domestic market, IYNO has big plans for cooperation with foreign partners. Andrey Erlikh shared the details (pictured). “The international agenda has remained in our company’s strategy, and we are actively looking to the East, namely the Middle East and North Africa regions,” he said. “We believe that the main driving force will be concentrated there, both from developers and property buyers. ” The expert voiced a number of forecasts regarding transformational changes in the market. “Due to the mobilization and migration consequences at the construction site, labor productivity will fall,” he noted. “Due to increased competition, customization of the final product will become an advantage in the fight for the client.” Erlich believes that the White Box will be replaced by the Build-to-suit design, which involves the sale of a finished object, but not a standard solution, but a custom one, where the buyer changes the project for himself. Another expert’s prediction is that working with data is a prerequisite for a developer’s survival in a changing market. “Because we will be in conditions of uncertainty for a long time, making decisions based on experience and intuition becomes more and more difficult,” Erlich emphasized. “In order to make these decisions, you need to learn how to work with data, analyze and interpret it.” Thus, the information received by developers from BI systems will help the management to calculate the risks and take the right steps to maintain and develop the business. As part of his presentation, the expert demonstrated the reports that IYNO software generates for first-level managers. One of these reports is the manager’s dashboard, where you can see the current key indicators, collisions, summary information, as well as technical data for all sections of the project documentation. Talan has already implemented a BI system in its company. Konstantin Bulinsky (pictured) told how software has affected business. “When we started implementing the BI system, we not only learned how to work with data, but also put things in order in the primary sources where this data is generated,” he explained. “Due to the implementation, we began to take a balanced approach to numbers and order in business processes.” Answering a question about the general level of digitalization of the industry, Bulinsky warned his colleagues against a chaotic approach to this process. “Many developers, at the very least, need to move from spreadsheets in Excel to normal budgeting to see construction costs,” he said. — Only then can we talk about drones, TIM and other technologies — 99% of developers do not need it yet.” The main recommendation of the expert is to implement basic functionality, clean up business processes and create a common data environment. According to Bulinsky, it will be quite difficult to assess the economic effect of the introduction of digital tools. “The fact is that there are a lot of unknown factors,” he said. “For example, how much time employees have saved, how many people are not hired due to digitalization, how much faster the right decisions have become made and how much money this will save us in the future.” Due to uncertainty and constant change, many developers are delaying the start of digital projects. However, the First Trust Group of Companies does not deviate from the planned course and implements all the planned initiatives – Alexander Filippov (pictured) reported this. “We are not adjusting our program yet and are moving forward within the framework of what we planned to digitize,” the expert said. “Now we are working on MDM systems so that all the company’s data from design decisions to the last write-off are completely online and are automatically distributed on the shelves.” The developer is also preparing to introduce laser scanning on objects – the company’s IT team is looking for a solution that will fit into the existing architecture of the developer. Filippov explained how digitalization helps developers in the current realities. “IT solutions are about getting the data you need quickly, quickly analyzing and making quick management decisions,” he said. “Companies that have achieved certain results in the IT field are better prepared for a rapidly changing world and new challenges.” Orso Group does not plan to introduce new technologies at the construction site in the near future – this was announced by Mikhail Besfamilny (pictured). “As for the general order processes, we are not launching anything new, and due to constant changes, there is no particular desire yet,” he explained. The expert also told how the events of September affected the company’s sales. “As part of the entire volume of sales, about 20% of transactions “flew” with us,” said Besfamilny. “At the same time, some customers even registered a contract, but abandoned the purchase at the last moment due to general uncertainty.” At the same time, the developer did not suspend activities on new projects – Orso Group recently acquired several new plots for the construction of a residential complex.

Turning an idea into reality In April, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo announced an economic development strategy based on a more active role for working women. Labor expert and former commercial director of Shiseido Iwata Kimie discusses the three points of Abe’s plan and offers his own recipe for change in the Japanese economy. Prime Minister Abe Shinzo made increasing the number of women in the labor force the cornerstone of his economic development strategy and a key element of the “three arrows of economic policy” known as Abenomics. This focus on working women is unprecedented in the Japanese government, and I sincerely welcome this innovation. So, how is Abe going to achieve his goal? 19On April 2013, the Prime Minister met with members of the press and the business community to unveil three initiatives to increase the role of women in the economically active population: addressing the shortage of child care facilities, increasing parental leave to three years, and setting a goal to use at least one a woman in a leadership position in every company. I tried to think about the advantages and disadvantages of the government’s plan. The main priority is kindergartens The biggest problem that hinders the work of women and needs to be addressed immediately is the lack of state-subsidized pre-school institutions. The Prime Minister has set a goal of creating 400,000 additional places for children to eliminate the long queues for kindergarten that Japanese families constantly face. But 400,000 is clearly not enough to solve the problem, given that the Cabinet Secretariat estimated a gap between the provision of kindergartens and the potential demand for their services at 850,000 places a few years ago. I note that just three years ago Yokohama had more children waiting for kindergarten than any other municipality in Japan. However, by the spring of this year, the queues were completely eliminated, thanks to the efforts of the local administration. If other large city governments follow Yokohama’s example and make increasing the role of women in the working population a top priority, the government’s goal could be achieved in as little as three years rather than five years (the time frame given by the government for the target). So, the figure of 400 thousand and a period of 5 years will not satisfy the need for kindergartens, it is necessary to eliminate the critical shortage of places as soon as possible. A Real Look at Parental Leave Speaking to business leaders last April, Abe called on corporations to voluntarily extend parental leave to three years instead of the 12 months (maximum 18 months) required by law. Certainly, any changes that will empower women to choose the right time for them to return to work should be welcomed, especially given the current shortage of kindergartens. Three-year-old children are usually easier to arrange in the garden, more free places are provided for them. Having the opportunity to extend maternity leave to three years, no doubt, will have a positive effect on the woman’s mental balance. On the other hand, promoting three years of maternity leave as the norm could have the opposite, counter-productive effect of increasing women’s participation in the country’s workforce. One of the problems with long maternity leave is its impact on a woman’s future career. The question is not only whether a woman will be able to return to the workplace after a long break, but also whether she will be able to continue her career with the possibility of promotion through the ranks. In the business world, allowing several years of leave is generally considered to be detrimental to an employee’s prospects. Retraining programs, if companies are willing to provide them, can only help get workers back on track and make up for lost time. Even at companies that still offer up to three years of maternity leave, very few women take it all the way; most return to work within a year out of legitimate concern for their future. Another problem is the role of the father. Most young Japanese fathers today say they would like to be more involved in helping their wife during pregnancy, but few feel confident enough to take the parental leave they are legally entitled to. Instead of encouraging men to take advantage of such a position, Abe’s plan seems to take a reverse view of the problem, in which a woman stays at home and devotes herself entirely to raising children. Undoubtedly, this picture is caused by Prime Minister Abe’s recent slogan “3 years with a child.” The best way to inspire women to become a full part of the economically active population is not to promote three-year child care, but to make kindergartens more equipped and accessible, especially for children under two years of age, for whom kindergartens are the least available. Such measures will enable women to return to work as soon as they wish to do so. The government should focus on creating such conditions as soon as possible. It’s time for action The third idea of ​​administration for realizing the potential of women is quite straightforward and clear: at least one woman in a managerial position in every company. If companies make it their goal to appoint a woman to the board of directors, they will be able to better manage female employees in general, and the percentage of female managers will naturally increase. 27 years after the Equal Employment Opportunity Law went into effect, women still hold less than 10% of management positions throughout Japan. Even if companies provide equal opportunity under the law, women’s status at work is still incomparable to that of men. If we are not willing to wait forever to close the issue of gender inequality, we need more than legal guarantees of equal opportunity. To accelerate progress, we need special measures to actively promote gender equality among the economically active population. I believe that companies need to become more active in order to overcome entrenched discrimination against women. This means working towards the quantitative indicators that should be set by each company according to its situation, such as the ratio of women hired and their percentage in management and director positions. To achieve these goals, companies will naturally need to offer flexible employment arrangements for working parents. In addition, businesses will need to provide both active career support through tailor-made courses, a fair evaluation system, and role models, i. e. women with experience in training female workers. So, I urge the government to take the next step towards gender equality by requiring every company to have a clear action plan first. Overhauling Japan’s work ethic Prime Minister Abe’s plan lacks one more element needed to achieve the goal of increasing women’s employment – a radical change in the attitude towards women on the part of company employees in Japan. In Japan’s corporate culture, line workers tend to work long after the end of the day. They agree to be transferred to remote areas without question. This style of work is possible for a man whose wife is a housewife, but it is hardly practical for a woman with children. Not surprisingly, the majority of new mothers who do return to work are unable to maintain the work practices required of full-time employees and end up on the “mom career path.” By full participation, we mean something very different. In order to increase the number of working women with children, including increasing their participation in middle and senior management, we must change the expectations of workers in Japan and create a style of work in which overwork is a forced exception, not the norm. Implementing such changes at the individual workplace level will be up to each company’s executives, but the government, for its part, can speed up the process through policy measures such as increasing overtime pay in the bylaws. As readers can infer from the foregoing, Japanese society has a lot of work to do to achieve the full inclusion of women that Prime Minister Abe has placed at the heart of his economic development strategy. But not all of the problems I have pointed out can be resolved immediately. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate what I think are two main priorities that the Japanese government needs to focus on first. This is a solution to the problem of shortage of kindergartens and an end to the practice of overtime work. I am sure that with the solution of these two problems, the role of women in the country’s economy will change dramatically.

Co-authored with Helen Hester is a book on social reproduction and post-work politics, After Work: The Politics of Free Time (Verso, 2018). ↓ While a lot of attention has been focused on the crisis of work and the potential threats and opportunities posed by growing automation, much less attention has been paid specifically to the labor of caring. The article explores changes in the organization of social reproduction in high income societies and outlines the emerging crisis of care caused by the diminishing role of the state, stagnant wages, and an aging population. The article then sets out a post-labor vision of caring work that serves as a response to this crisis. In recent years, the “crisis of work” has been surrounded by a lot of discussion. Both journalists and scientists have pointed to disturbing trends in the labor market. It is becoming increasingly clear that high-income countries are facing a decline in “good jobs” and an increase in low-wage, casual, precarious employment. Over the past 40 years, we have seen a sharp increase in economic inequality. Fewer people are employed in medium-paid jobs (which are often outsourced to parts of the world with low labor costs), the gap between the poor and the rich is growing, while the number of the former is constantly increasing, and the number of the latter is decreasing. Since the 2008 crisis, high-income countries have experienced high unemployment rates and a very slow recovery in employment growth. Now a new wave of technology threatens to automate a wide range of existing jobs, pushing even more people into unemployment and underemployment in the future. The result is a growing surplus of population that lacks both the means to survive outside of capitalism and the jobs to survive within it. This fact clearly causes serious concern, as can be seen from the many reports from think tanks, international symposiums and cross-party studies of the future of work. While it is encouraging that these issues are becoming culturally visible and embedded on the political agenda, at the same time, this analysis of the work landscape tends to downplay the problem. A narrow understanding of work comes to the fore, and other activities (both paid and unpaid) are not taken into account in the discussion about the crisis and its possible solutions. Analysts too often fail to understand the systemic and complex nature of our current problems—the crisis of “work” is also a crisis of “at home” and vice versa. In this chapter, we will attempt to develop a deeper understanding of the current challenges facing working in high-income countries and suggest possible solutions to these challenges. To do this, we will focus on a complex, evolving, cross-border concept – care. Starting with the concept of social reproduction and an analysis of its role in modern work cultures, we will move on to the increasing importance of care for the countries of the Global North in the 21st century. In particular, following the latest trends and possible trajectories of the economy, we argue that care needs to be concretized and separated from the umbrella concept of service work (and service-based economies) and argue that the care economy is about to become dominant in high-income societies. . In conclusion, we will offer several possible solutions to help deal with the growing care crisis. Three areas of reproductive labor “Social reproduction” or “reproductive labor” are terms that define the activities of educating future workers, restoring the working capacity of the current workforce and caring for those who cannot work, that is, a set of tasks that together support and reproducing lives both daily and generationally. Social reproduction in a broad sense consists in the direct care of oneself and others (care for children, the elderly, healthcare), the organization of physical space and the management of resources as part of the process of indirect care for oneself and others (shopping, cleaning, repair) and the reproduction of species (carrying children). Reproduction, in short, is the day-to-day tasks of both one’s own survival and the survival of others, traditionally performed by women for little or no pay. These forms of work are also often excluded from modern discussions about work. Being essentially the support and reproduction of workers, reproductive labor must be considered as the basis of global capitalism. As a theoretical framework, the analysis of social reproduction insists that the historically gendered labor of care is linked to the imperatives of capitalism in complex and intimate ways. Traditionally, social reproduction has been positioned as a link between the reproductive (at home) and productive (at the workplace) spheres. The reproductive sphere was understood as a set of specific activities undertaken to reproduce the masculinized wage worker: cooking, cleaning, caring for children, etc. The productive sphere, on the contrary, represented the types of activities that produce goods and services: welding, programming, sewing, etc. Still, a distinction based solely on specific activities is not enough, given that the same activities can be assigned to different areas depending on the social context. A mother driving her children to school occupies a different structural position in capitalism compared to a nanny driving other people’s children to school, despite the fact that outwardly their actions are hardly distinguishable. How then to distinguish between production and social reproduction? How do we understand the structural relationship between capitalism as a process of accumulation and social reproduction as a process of reproduction of wage earners? In answering these questions, we will build on the work of the Endnotes team, distinguishing between fields based on their position in relation to the market and capital accumulation. Perhaps the most significant difference lies in whether the market directly or indirectly controls one or another area. Activities directly controlled by the market (including domestic labor or the activity of reproducing labor in exchange for wages) are subject to capital accumulation imperatives: the compulsion to increase both the efficiency of the work process and the efficiency of converting an input into an end product, united by the premise that the activity must bring income. And everything is subject to the requirement that these types of activities also bring profit. The market has a direct impact on the organization and implementation of activities. ↓ Goods and services produced by a too slow labor process will be too expensive compared to competitors’ goods and services and will eventually be squeezed out of the market. But over activities that are indirectly regulated by the market, market logic and the imperative of capital accumulation do not prevail to such an extent. However, this area is not completely excluded from the above market logic; due to the time spent on unpaid reproductive labor, there is less and less time for wage work. Therefore, the imperatives of wage work can influence other activities, albeit indirectly. The organization of activities under indirect market control is also determined by such things as patriarchy, gender-based violence and, in the best situations, cooperation. Essentially the support and reproduction of workers, reproductive labor must be seen as the foundation of global capitalism. It is important to note, however, that a direct or indirect form of market control cannot by itself explain the dynamics of social reproduction in contemporary work cultures. As noted in the Endnotes, we must also consider the distinction between paid and unpaid work, a distinction that does not fit in with the categorical division between direct and indirect market control. Public service is a key example: nurses in the British National Health Service (NHS) perform social reproduction tasks, receive wages, but are not directly linked to the logic of capital accumulation. Their work is the direct transformation of value into capital, formed from social service taxes and wages. We are definitely talking about an area outside the direct market logic (which is therefore under indirect market control), but which also relies on wage work (as opposed to the activities we do for our families or with which we keep our own homes in order). In light of this, Endnotes concludes that there are three areas: direct market control, paid indirect market control, and unpaid indirect market control. We will designate these three spheres of social reproduction as the three Ps: privatized reproductive labor (direct market control), public (paid indirect market control) or personal (unpaid indirect market control). Such categories run the risk of blurring further divisions, such as between the formal and informal labor markets, and hence further clarification of the text of the chapter will be required from time to time. However, using this terminological framework, we hope that a wider range of reproductive labor will be taken into account and included in the analysis of the future of work. After all, the current crisis will affect more than one area or form of work. Reproductive labor in crisis Since the middle of the 20th century, there has been a dramatic shift in the organization of social reproduction in high-income societies. Keynesian capitalism was characterized by the predominance of the heterosexual nuclear family (rather as a desirable ideal than an objective reality) and the family wage as the norm. Under this model, round-the-clock reproductive labor was expected from a financially dependent wife. Most liberal and corporatist welfare states had little support for reproductive labor at the time and, as a result, tended to be heavily dependent on the traditional family structure. Only social democratic regimes began to engage in social reproduction, using the taxation of social surplus as a way to move some elements of reproductive labor into the public sphere. This included the partial nationalization of non-tradable services such as education and childcare, a move that helped bring more women into the labor force (although it should be noted that many working-class women—particularly non-whites—have long been forced into wage labor outside the home. ). However, even social democratic states were heavily dependent on the devalued domestic labor of women – something that feminists of the period sought to draw attention to. From 1970 onwards, this approach to social reproduction was significantly transformed under neoliberal capitalism. The inspiring family wage rate has in most cases disappeared from this system and has become available only to a privileged minority. In many high-income societies, real wages have fallen (indeed, as far as wage growth is concerned, the UK is experiencing its worst decade since the Napoleonic Wars). Changes like these will inevitably entail the need to spend more time at work to provide for oneself, support the household, and provide ongoing financial support to addicts. In addition, we have seen how the state has drastically hit social reproduction by leaving reproductive labor unsupported and at the same time forcing the unpaid workers who normally do it into the labor market. The result was a crisis of care that engulfed both public and private reproductive labor. People turned out to be unable to support dependent loved ones themselves (due to the exhaustion of financial, emotional, mental and / or temporal resources), or to receive adequate support from the state. The answer has been—for those who can afford it—a shift to market-driven exchange. A growing share of domestic labor is bought directly as goods and services and indirectly through privatized reproductive labor. Some elements of social reproduction are increasingly being delegated to the hyper-exploited class of cleaners, nannies, care workers (women themselves often become links in the global chain of care exploitation). The result is a dual approach to social reproduction where the rich can afford the services of private individuals and the low-income people increasingly provide these services. In the absence of adequate social security, social reproduction finds itself in a privatized or private sphere, acquiring a deep connection with economic inequality. While the complex job crisis we have described is clearly a mass problem, its effects vary by race, gender, and class. Poor women are (usually) the brunt of these changes. In short, a significant part of the activity of social reproduction was privatized and then rooted in the personal sphere (which it never completely left) as a result of the rollback of the provision of social forms of reproductive labor. We see a growing need for support due to the fact that more and more people need to work longer hours to survive, and also due to an increase in personal expenses for this support, since social reproduction is regulated more by the market than by the state. In addition, the supply of reproductive labor is often quite volatile, given the high turnover of staff, the inevitable result of care workers facing disastrous wages, job insecurity, poor conditions, and often their own complex care responsibilities. Caring is a job (whether privatized, public or private) and plays a key role in the complex and systemic issues of the moment. This role becomes clear when we begin to explore the implications of reproductive labor for today’s high-income economies. As we shall see, they will be dominated by care, maintenance and reproduction work, both in terms of employment and in terms of GDP – two limited, conditional, but culturally marked means of assessing social significance and value. Toward the economics of caring Generally, when people think about the economy, they imagine a factory—maybe a car factory—and then construct their everyday understanding around that image. Or perhaps after the era of deindustrialization, people are increasingly imagining a service economy and an office worker at a computer. However, services are a broad and disparate category, including a banker who earns millions in investment deals, a teacher who works long hours, a hairdresser who barely makes ends meet, and an immigrant janitor who earns a tiny amount from a few jobs. Certainly the service sector is a category so clumsy that it loses its descriptive function, but it may be better to analyze the economy as a spectrum of different services rather than as an unbroken chain of sectors. Having done this, we will see that a significant and growing proportion of welfare economies are oriented towards and centered around reproductive labor. Take, for example, healthcare; it is a large and growing sector in the wage labor market. In the US, the health care share is a whopping 17.8% of GDP, while in Western Europe it is still an astounding 10.4% on average. Also, healthcare spending has outpaced inflation in high-income economies, causing more and more personal funds to be spent on these services. Interestingly, this is also typical for developing economies: between 19Health care spending in China increased 50-fold between 80 and 2005 and is projected to increase another 20-fold by 2050. It is worth noting that healthcare is also a significant source of jobs, both in the public and private sectors. Thus, the UK National Health Service is one of the largest employers in the world; as of 2017, about 1.9 million people worked there (directly and indirectly). It is important to note that these numbers will only grow. Reviewing the US government’s projections for job growth by 2024, one journalist recently noted that “9 of the 12 fastest growing graphs are different job titles for ‘nursing’.” Thus, the healthcare sector is huge both in terms of employment and in terms of its share of GDP. Child care is also a significant and growing share in the private sector of the economy, due in part to the crisis of social reproduction described in the previous chapter. Although childcare is often carried out in the personal, informal and unpaid (usually by parents or extended family members), there is an increasing share of formal (day care, preschool) and informal (babysitting) paid work. A similar trend is observed in education and social care (here it refers to palliative care, home care, assisted living for the elderly and provision of personal care). ↓ If we calculate the expenditures for each of these areas – excluding some aspects such as laundry, cleaning, sex work and home repairs, for which there is little or no data – we will see that social reproduction occupies a large part of the developed capitalist economics. As shown in Figure 1, spending by wealthy G7 countries ranges from 15% of Italy’s GDP to nearly 25% of America’s. Simply put, social reproduction is a large and growing sector of the market. ↓ Perhaps the clearest realization that care is increasingly dominating our economy comes when we consider social reproduction work in health care, education, food processing, housing, and social work in the context of what percentage it is of the total number of paid workers. Over the past 50 years, their role has increased dramatically. A growing percentage of the population earns a living through social reproduction—as Figure 2 shows, it is currently between 23% and 28% of the labor force. On the contrary, at 1960th in America, 30% of the labor force was employed in the manufacturing sector. If we once spoke of large-scale industries, today we must speak in terms of economies centralized around the reproduction of their workers. In addition, as evidenced by data on expanding sectors of the American labor market in the period 2014-2024, these trends will continue. Data analysis shows that the vast majority of these growing sectors (including the top four) are jobs related to paid social reproduction. You can find similar data for the UK, where we estimate that 47% of total job growth will take place in social reproduction sectors. This data suggests that we are seeing a rise in the care economy. Resolving the crisis What to do in this case? If social reproduction is increasingly in crisis—demand for services rises as unpaid workers enter the labor market, paid workers face extremely low wages and appalling working conditions, and governments cut public provision—then how, without aggravating existing hierarchies of class, race and gender can this reproduction be supported? One of the theorists who has paid much attention to this issue is Nancy Fraser, who proposes three ideal type models to solve these problems. In each of the models, care is organized differently and has a different impact on ideas of gender justice and equality. Fraser calls the first model the “universal breadwinner model” , and perhaps the closest approach to the implementation of this model came in European countries with a high level of female participation in the labor market (although ideologically the closest is in the United States). With this approach, the total family wage of the post-war era is replaced by the fact that each individual supports itself with the help of wage labor. However, this approach requires proper government support, as families need appropriate social conditions to enable them to enter the labor market without harming children and other dependents. Such conditions may include, for example, full parental leave, state-subsidized childcare, and/or tax credits that allow families to offset expensive private childcare. The absence of such conditions puts severe restrictions on equal participation in paid work (as, for example, in the United States since 2000), and the absence of paid parental leave leads to the stagnation of women’s participation in the labor force. This model also requires care workers to be paid in a way that guarantees a decent standard of living. As is usually the case, all too often care workers are left in poverty and face long hours in a desperate effort to make ends meet. In general, the “universal breadwinner model” can reduce poverty, but only by making everyone work longer and idealizing the “male” world of wage labor as the only respectable option. The second approach is the “equal care model” in which the current unpaid informal work done mainly by women is, on the contrary, highly valued and properly supported. This model does not involve sending these workers to the formal labor market, but recognizing the value of both activities and facilitating any transitions between the privatized and personal spheres. For this to be possible, it is necessary to provide state support for individual work on social reproduction. It may include, for example, benefits for care workers, which will not only legitimize this type of activity, but also help pay for the care of children and the sick. Support could also include the emergence of both part-time jobs and flexible work arrangements for caregivers, as well as legal provisions against discrimination based on the possibility of pregnancy. As Fraser points out, while the first model aims to push social reproduction entirely into the market-mediated realm, this model attempts to push it into the state-supported private realm. However, again, this model runs the risk of restricting women to the home and does not include measures to reduce the amount of work they do. The last approach that Fraser discusses is the “universal guardian model” . Instead of making women more like men (by attracting them to the labor market) or leaving women and men in segregated areas (supporting only domestic work), this approach invites men to take on more work in the traditional female field. As men take over some of the work of social reproduction done at home, the burden of labor will be more evenly distributed and gender hierarchies in the economy will be loosened. In such a world, what is considered a characteristic rhythm of women’s lives – the transition between paid and unpaid work – will become the norm that determines social policy. States will seek to introduce measures that allow easy movement between the two states indicated above, for example, the elimination of fines in the workplace for part-time jobs and flexible hours, the introduction of state or community child care systems in which every member of the community could participate . The advantage of this model is a significant reduction in the gender nature of the current division of labor and a parallel reduction in part of the overall workload. But is this enough? We believe that a more appropriate approach, which is consistent with the growing changes in automation and the growing demand for labor care, would be what we call the post-labor model . This approach explicitly aims to reduce work and our dependence on wage labor (it is worth recalling that in ancient times, work as we know it today was seen as “wage slavery” – because of its ability to make a person dependent on the employer for their own survival) . Most post-labor models of the future are presented to us as a world in which robots take over factories, and sometimes even offices. But the world of care work, oddly enough, falls out of these imaginary utopias. However, the post-labor response to the crisis of care argues that post-labor principles can be applied to both paid and unpaid work. This approach has at least three key goals. First, we must not dismiss the potential of automation. Opening up to automate some types of reproductive labor is a refusal to naturalize that labor—in other words, dismissing it as if it were not work at all but an expression of a (gendered) self or a personal pastime. And although the robotization of social reproduction should not be thoughtlessly praised, the critical technopolitics of the home and other spaces of social reproduction can provide a real improvement in the quality of such labor. Are there problems that technology could solve without negatively impacting these spaces? Home technology has not had much practical success; While few of us would be willing to give up our washing machines, it is clear that most of the gadgets that find their way into our homes are completely unnecessary and a by-product of the commodification of our lifestyle – brilliant, but often highly specialized and not particularly easy machines (spiral graters , drinks freezers, etc. e). The tech home concept needs to be actively rethought and the tech design culture actively challenged However, we must remember that we have yet to get the home appliance we truly deserve. As Judy Weitzman notes, most home gadgets came to us retrospectively: they were originally conceived for military or industrial use – for example, a microwave oven and a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner and a refrigerator. These technologies have been transferred to our private homes from the public sphere. She writes: “Given that many home technologies come from a variety of backgrounds and are not originally designed to save time in the household, it is not surprising that their impact on domestic work has been mixed.” In summary, using the “home” metaphor, we should not splash water with the baby: the concept of the tech home should be actively rethought and the culture of tech design actively challenged. Home automation can be seen as an ally in the search for temporary autonomy – although this is obviously not possible without a much broader program of progressive political change. We also need to think about what technologies we want to include in the home automation area. How about assistive technology? Will we think differently about caregiver robots than assistive walking and weight lifting devices? Where do these different kinds of feelings come from, and how many of them can arise from ignorance of the moral value of the labor of caring – a moral value that, by the way, has been associated from the very beginning with ideas about the gendered / biased private sphere? Do we consider a mobile phone, a home computer, a bicycle, or a birth control pill as a household appliance? ↓ What we’re trying to get across here is that instead of ignoring home automation in all its forms, we should promote clearer criteria for it—those that take into account the nuances of specific technologies, issues of accessibility, ownership, and design, and how ideas genders and jobs are embedded in the affects we associate with technology. The second goal is that we must lower our living standards. Some ideas associated with post-labor society suggest that reproductive labor is a source of inexhaustible personal satisfaction when workers are not interested in lowering their own expectations. Indeed, it is interesting to note how often high (i.e., extremely labor-intensive) domestic standards are mentioned in so-called post-work theories. The German Krisis Group says the labor involved in “cooking delicious food” will never be eradicated; leftist anti-labor theorist André Gortz talks about “taking care of the house and decorating it, preparing good food, entertaining guests”, etc. While cooking, providing hospitality, etc. can be a source of great pleasure for many (if it happens on its own initiative), placing these things at the center of an imagined future social order allows the concept of work to present itself to us in a hitherto unknown form. For those of us who want to manage our time in other ways than cooking, cleaning and caring, it would be better to come down from heaven to earth and think less about the heights of domestic splendor that we all aspire to and more about how change and make available social welfare standards such as cleanliness. The work of feminists such as Ellen Lupton, Ruth Schwartz Cowan, and Judy Weitzman taught us that one of the reasons time spent on housework did not decrease after the spread of household appliances in the twentieth century was that that as labor-saving devices became more common, labor standards shot up. Cleaning was supposed to be more thorough and more frequent; that educational activities that needed to be done with children would be more frequent and focused on giving them a competitive advantage; cooking is more complex and labor-intensive; lawns will be flawless, without weeds and with perfectly even stripes. Again, while this activity should not be excluded from those who enjoy it, repressive social expectations should not be allowed to affect reproductive labor. We must continue to build activism around gender and work under temporary sovereignty—the ability to manage our time as we please. Finally, we must rethink the conditions of life. How to structure “family life” differently? How can this affect changes in the structure of wage work, as well as contribute to the spread of post-labor ideas to the seemingly inviolable space of the home? Moving away from one dwelling per family—perhaps for groups of 10-12 instead of 1-4—could mean a more sustainable and energy-efficient lifestyle, as well as reduced labor costs for basic maintenance. Shared kitchens, laundries, and workshops can reduce labor. The fact that the resources of a shared household are used by more people than in a typical home may mean that there are opportunities for greater investment in tools and technologies, including those needed to keep clean. Reimagining housing space can go beyond simple relief; it can also be positive developments, such as high-tech public libraries, studios, media packages, laboratories, vegetable gardens, and mutual medical institutions. What would a house organized differently be like? The current household (usually in the form of the nuclear family – in popular culture, if not in reality) arose largely from changes in working relationships. Expectations about what a “family” is really play a decisive role in determining factors such as wages, working hours and public services. The official poverty line in the United States was set on the basis that every household must have a housewife who acts as a smart home manager, makes careful purchases, cooks skillfully and does it at home. The reality is that many households have never had access to that fantastic resource of social reproduction, the full-time economist, because the cost of living is actually much higher. We must rethink the conditions of life. How to structure “family life” differently? Leaving aside the essentialist discourses about “the private sphere” and “family”, it becomes painfully obvious how unsatisfactory the home is as a place of work and how many domestic workers would benefit from resistance or agitation against this type of work. Viewing the home from this angle also encourages us to recognize where and how spatial patterns and work methods can contribute to the visibility and appreciation of reproductive labor and how rarely attempts are made to solve the problem of hard domestic work. The presentation of various forms of social relations based on the domestic sphere is also very encouraging. those of us who may be suffering from strained, unhappy, or even abusive relationships in our blood families. This problem is much more typical for queer people. If we imagine households outside the family category, we must imagine the formation of independent groups living together – a mixture of relatives, friends, comrades, lovers. These new kinds of families may be based on intimacy, affection, and a shared world view, rather than something as fragile as mere genetic coincidence. And what is the result? If we understand that something can and should be done to mitigate the effects of current structures of oppression, does it make sense to link our struggle against gender oppression (including unequal distribution of free time and heavy domestic work) with the struggle against work? Indeed, in many ways, a queer struggle is required – a struggle against the myth of essential “female” or “male” traits and the single binary gender system that shapes the division of labor; a struggle that is based on the understanding that efforts to redistribute work—to create a more egalitarian division of labor and opportunity—will inevitably be limited until our ideas about gender are discarded.

If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server. If you are a normal user of this web site and don’t know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site’s administrator. Debian’s Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Debian tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server. The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Debian systems is as follows: /etc/apache2/ |-- apache2.conf | `-- ports.conf |-- mods-enabled | |-- *.load | `-- *.conf |-- conf-enabled | `-- *.conf |-- sites-enabled | `-- *.conf apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server. ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime. Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively. They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information. The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration. By default, Debian does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2. conf. The default Debian document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous releases which provides better security out of the box. Please use the reportbug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Debian. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug. Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to the web server itself.

Over the years the staff has became more like family then just a child care provider. My daughter is not just being “baby sat” she’s being motivated, cared for, and loved. The staff at ABCD always push both my daughter and myself to the next level and don’t allow us to just be comfortable where we are. For example they’ve helped me transition her off a bottle and the pacifier. With their help my daughter is fully potty trained at the age of 2!!! In addition to them being such a blessing to us on a personal level they are stimulating her on a educational level. At just 2 years old my daughter knows her first/last name (written), the alphabet, numbers 1 to 30, numbers in Spanish 1 to 10, colors, the months of the year (English and Spanish), days of the week (English and Spanish). My child is always happy and excited to go to daycare and I love it there just as much. I give ABCD a 5 ⭐️ star rating.” – Carmen B.

Hmmm Ms Veronica, I must say is a professional when it comes to teaching. My daughter had learned so many things in her class.

Highly recommend! -Stacey P. Button Slide title My child has been going to this center for a couple of months and he LOVES it. Ms. Veronica makes learning so much fun. My child’s writing, speech and following instructions have tremendously taken off. They are extremely structured which makes it very easy to implement when he’s home. They not only mentally challenge the kids but physically as well which has improved my child’s sleeping. This center is amazing and great to see in the neighborhood. It is a big center which can be intimidating but they do recognize each child. You might not get a 1on1 convo every day, but they make sure to say hi when they can lol. This is a great place to prepare your child for school.  -Nina R. Button Slide title A Better Choice Daycare and Learning Center was a wonderful transition for my son!

Child care center vs home daycare: Childcare Center vs. Home Daycare. Which is Better? Опубликовано: September 22, 2022 в 11:12 am Автор: alexxlab Категории: Child Childcare Center vs. Home Daycare. Which is Better? Childcare Center vs. Home Daycare. Which is Better?   Choosing the right childcare provider can feel overwhelming. There are so many considerations – location, cost, availability, schedule, and more. If you have an infant or a child who’s never been in group care before, it can feel especially daunting. Deciding if you’ll use a childcare center or home daycare is a significant consideration that impacts nearly all of the other factors. Often parents ask us which is better and the answer is that neither one is better than the other – but one may be better for your family or your child, depending on your needs. Some children thrive in childcare centers, some thrive in home daycares, and some thrive in either environment. How can you determine if a childcare center or home daycare is right for you?   LOOKING FOR THE BEST DAYCARE NEAR YOU? START YOUR SEARCH HERE ON PAPER PINECONE   Ratio & Group Size Childcare Centers Every state sets their own ratio laws indicating the number of children a provider can care for at a time, and they’re different for home daycares and childcare centers. Ratio laws also vary by age group, with infants having the lowest ratio of caregivers to children and school-age kids having the highest. In early childhood education, there is generally a maximum group size permitted. For example, the ratio for preschoolers may be 1:12 with a maximum group size of 24, meaning you can’t have a class of 48 children even if four teachers are present.   YOU’LL ALSO ENJOY: WHAT IS THE MILLION WORD GAP AND HOW YOU CAN PREVENT YOUR CHILD FROM HAVING IT   By law, childcare centers are often segmented by ages. Infants (which may include children up to age two, depending on the state) are kept separate from preschoolers and school-age children. You also may find further separation by age in a childcare center with infants up to 12 months in one room and 12 to 18 or 24 months in another. The laws governing ratios, group sizes, and mixed-age groupings are different for home daycares than they are childcare centers.   Home Daycare In a home daycare, children from infants to school-age may be mixed together, the group size will be limited by state regulations. There’s much evidence demonstrating that mixed-age groupings are beneficial for both younger and older children. Younger children learn from older children and older children take on leadership roles. This also mimics how children have been raised throughout history. It wasn’t until modern schooling in the 20th century that children began being segmented by age. In most home daycares, there is a single provider caring for all of the children, though with larger groups a second teacher may be present.   RELATED: HOW YOU CAN PARTNER WITH YOUR CHILD’S PRESCHOOL TEACHER   Local regulations will limit the number of children from each age group who are permitted. For example, a provider licensed for 10 children cannot have 10 infants – they may be permitted 2 infants, 6 preschoolers, and 2 school-age children. Depending on the state, a childcare provider’s own children may or may not count toward the number of children they are permitted.   Scheduling & Flexibility Childcare Centers Childcare centers generally offer traditional hours for care. The hours often align with the 9-5 work day, with an hour or so on either side to allow time for drop off and commutes. You may find that some childcare centers offer part-day or part-week schedules but typically a family must to commit to the same hours each day they attend and the same schedule weekly. Long-term contracts are typical in childcare centers as well.   ALSO READ: BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT CAR SEATS   Home Daycare For many, home daycare provides more flexibility than childcare centers. While some will keep traditional hours and offer only full-time schedules, some are more accommodating, opening earlier, closing later, offering drop-in care, and not requiring the same schedule week-to-week. You may find a home daycare provider who is willing to modify their hours either permanently or occasionally if you have specific needs. You also may not be locked into a long-term contract in a home daycare.   Social Emotional & Academic Curriculum Childcare Centers Childcare centers may be more apt to have a formal curriculum than a home daycare. Depending on the age of your child and what you think is best for your family, you may or may not find this beneficial. Early childhood education is primarily for social and emotional development. Both it, and academics, can be taught without the use of a formal curriculum, however, you may decide that you prefer having one.   RELATED: READ ABOUT CHILDCARE PHILOSOPHIES & CURRIUCULA HERE   Home Daycare Within home daycare, the type of services provided vary greatly. There are home daycares who have curriculums on par with the best center-based preschools and work hard to develop their own curriculum and lesson plans. There are some who purchase curricula like Mother Goose Time or Frog Street. Many home daycares don’t have formal curricula but instead incorporate various social emotional and academic activities. And other home daycares who see themselves as primarily providing care, not specific learning activities. A daycare with a formal curriculum is not inherently better than one without. It really depends on the age of your child and what your family’s needs are.   Closures, Vacations & Backup Care Childcare Centers Childcare centers are unlikely to have unexpected closures, with the exception of emergencies. Prior to enrollment, ask the center for their yearly calendar so you can see how many days they close. While many offer year-round care, some childcare centers will only close for a handful of major holidays while others will have longer vacations, similar to a public school calendar. Others don’t provide summer care at all. If a teacher is ill, a center will generally have accessible substitutes and will not close the childcare center or any particular room for the day because of a lack of staff.   YOU’LL LOVE: BEHAVIOR AND EMOTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME – READ ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES & WHY THEY MATTER   Home Daycares When considering a home daycare, they should also be able to provide you an annual calendar prior to enrollment. However, some home daycare providers will not schedule their vacations prior, only include in their contract a specific number of vacation days they’re allotted and will indicate how much notice they’ll provide you prior to taking vacation.   DON’T MISS: ONE WORD CAUSES PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM TO CHILDREN – DO YOU USE IT?   Home daycare providers often also include sick days and personal days in their contract as well. Most do not have substitutes for these days and you frequently won’t have advance notice. All home daycare providers will tell you to have backup care available for these circumstances.   Continuity of Care Childcare Centers At the earliest ages, having continuity in who cares for your child is critical. It may take infants or toddlers experiencing separation anxiety several weeks or even months to form a secure bond with a new caregiver. The childcare industry has a very high turnover rate and childcare centers sometimes struggle to find staff. Speak with the childcare centers you’re considering about their staff turnover rate and how they provide continuity of care.   MUST READ: THE HISTORY OF SLEEP TRAINING IS FASCINATING   Home Daycare Because home daycare takes place in the home of the caregiver, there’s continuity of care for your entire enrollment period. Children are able to form secure bonds and you don’t have to be concerned with a specific teacher leaving. Often a home daycare provider becomes an extension of your own family.   Final Thoughts Both childcare centers and home daycares can provide an exceptional experience for your child. Every family has different needs and childcare centers and home daycares meet different needs for different people.

In-home day care vs. a day care center: What’s the difference? What can we help you find? ArrowLeftRed SearchRed SearchClose Back You have a lot of factors to consider when deciding on the best type of child care for your family. Many parents ultimately come down to a decision between a commercial day care center and an in-home day care, which is often called family child care. Of course, there are advantages and considerations for both day care options, and every family has different child care needs and requirements. To help you decide which is best for your family, here’s an overview of both types of day care, as well as our list of pros and cons that can help you make the most informed decision about what’s right for your child. What is in-home day care? In general, what sets an in-home day care apart from a typical day care center is the care setting. In-home child care is provided in a professional caregiver’s home or another private residence, so your child is cared for in a home-like setting, rather than the more institutional setting of a child care center. Parents of infants often prefer an in-home child care for its homey setting and because it can be easier to find one close to home. Many have smaller caregiver-to-child ratios, too, allowing the staff to provide more the individualized care parents of babies sometimes prefer. In-home child care programs usually offer a mixed age group with a collection of infants, toddlers and preschoolers, so it’s more like a family than a classroom. This diversity can be a great learning environment for kids of all ages. There are two main types of in-home day cares: Family day care: This type of day care typically has one caregiver who cares for six children or fewer, though the specific amount will be determined by state-defined ratios. These providers may limit themselves to a specific age range or care for children of all ages. Group day care: This type of child care usually consists of two or more adult caregivers and a larger group of children of varied ages. The specific numbers will depend on state ratios. Not every state requires in-home day cares to be licensed. You can review the requirements for your particular state at your local state government website or by searching the National Database of Child Care Licensing Regulations. Parents should choose a licensed and/or accredited provider whenever possible. What is a day care center? Parents often choose a day care center for its social, learning environment. It’s like an early an introduction to the classroom, in which qualified caregivers care for kids who are grouped by age, from very young infants all the way to school-age children. A day care center generally allows for more kids than you’ll see in an in-home day care, but you’ll also find more caregivers to watch over those children. Some parents consider a day care a safer situation for their children, in part because day care centers are often made to follow strict rules and regulations. Day care centers must be licensed by the state, and the qualifications for licensing vary state to state. These regulations typically establish caregiver-to-child ratios and certain health and safety requirements, as well as additional requirements related to training, certifications and background checks for employees. Check out this map of state-by-state resources via Child Care Aware for the child care licensing information relevant to your family. Day care centers may be privately owned for profit, or they may be held by non-profit organizations, like churches, schools or the local government. Examples of center-based child day cares include school programs, summer camps, faith-based programs, nursery schools, preschools and pre-K, as well as licensed, independently owned or chain centers. Each state’s Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agency determines if a provider is required to be regulated and what regulations must be met. Pros and cons of in-home day care vs. day care centers We asked a few experts to share the pros and cons of both types of day care. Carolyn Stolov, family-life expert at Care.com; Kathie Anderson, an in-home day care provider in Austin, Texas; and Donna Van Hall, director of Graves Mill Early Learning Center in Forest, Virginia, offered their expertise. DAY CARE CENTER IN-HOME DAY CARE PROS Multiple child care providers: If one teacher is sick and unable to provide care, additional teachers can fill in so that parents aren’t left without a backup plan. State inspected and licensed: Child day care centers must meet standards for cleanliness and safety, and comply with building codes. Quality teachers: The teachers in child day cares may have a stronger education background and take ongoing classes to fulfill requirements. Age-appropriate curriculum: Children are often in age-based classrooms,  learning activities, outdoor play, arts and crafts and activities to develop gross and fine motor skills. More individual attention: “Children are often a face in the crowd in a day care center,” Anderson says. “In a family child care home, we really get to know each other well.” Affordability: The cost of in-home day care may be cheaper than a day care center. Fewer germs: Because there are fewer children, your child may be exposed to fewer illnesses. More relaxed curriculum: Children may follow a curriculum, but there’s often more freedom for the in-home day care provider to change the schedule. Siblings can remain together: This is an important factor for many parents, especially those whose children are very close. CONSIDERATIONS Cost: Child day care centers are commercial properties, so overhead is higher than a private home, making the cost of a child day care center higher. Learn more about the cost of child care. Germs: There are multiple children to a class and multiple classes in a center, increasing the chance for illness. Children may have less free play: Because child day care centers often teach a curriculum, children may engage in less free play. Limited backup plans: Most in-home child care providers have a backup plan in the event of illness. However, emergencies can happen. Less regulation: Licensing of in-home day care programs varies state-by-state. If your area doesn’t regulate these programs, safety and health issues may be a concern. Difference in philosophies: In-home providers are all individuals. You may find the provider’s philosophy isn’t in line with your family’s style. Whatever day care option you choose, make safety your No. 1 priority. Check licensing requirements, run background checks on the people caring for your child and focus on finding the right fit for your family’s particular needs.

Start now Child Care Center vs Home Daycare: Pros & Cons Child Care Center vs Home Daycare: Pros & Cons 41 Latest Comment Corina Closner I love the simple fact that the pros and cons were stated in this post. However one thing I’d like… Add your comment Spread the love I recently organized a child care seminar for parents and parents-to-be. The goal was to have an open discussion so that parents could bring all of their child care related questions, worries, hopes, and fears to the table. During the seminar, I realized the differences between child care centers and family child care (also referred to as home-based daycare) were unclear for a lot of families. I was also asked which environment was the best, child care center vs home daycare. My answer was simple: no option is intrinsically better than the other. Whether it is better for you to go with the home-like environment of a family child care provider or with the school-like environment of a center depends on the quality of the caregivers, program offered, and the specific needs of your family and your child. In this post, I will outline some of the similarities and differences the two options offer, so that you can decide for yourself which one would suit your family better. Family child care providers typically have: 1 to 4 caregivers/teachers smaller facilities with a home-like environment fewer children (typically 3 to 12 children) mixed age groups with children of different ages Child care centers typically have: larger staff (lots of caregivers/teachers, as high as 30+) larger facilities with a more institutionalized feel many more children (anywhere from around 20 to 150 or more) separate age groups, i.e. all babies are together in 1 group, all preschoolers are together in another, etc. The benefits/advantages of a home-based child care program include: a home-like environment a closer teacher to child bond since the caregiver often cares for the child the entire day fewer cases of illnesses since the child is exposed to fewer children mixed age groups allowing for more sibling interaction better teacher to child ratios since there are fewer children per teacher a more flexible caregiver who is accommodating to your needs (i. e. a more flexible vacation policy, more likely to allow for a flexible schedule, etc.) lower tuition rates (usually) a caregiver who often becomes part of the family The benefits/advantages of attending a center-based child care program typically include: potentially better educated/trained caregivers (although not always) a more structured schedule and school-like environment, especially beneficial for older preschoolers in preparation for kindergarten more likely to have an educationally enriched curriculum that encourages literacy, language development, social and emotional development opportunities to socialize with more children and teachers substitute teachers, so should the caregiver become ill, someone else will fill in enrichment activity opportunities like soccer, dance, music or foreign language classes are common the use of technology (i.e. computers, ipads, and smartboards) to assist learning (not as common in homes) better secured entrance and possibly in-class video cameras for surveillance The potential downsides/disadvantages of home-based child care include: possibly less educated teachers and less educationally enriched curriculum possibly more exposure to television sole caregiver with little supervision, so trust is essential The potential downsides/disadvantages of child care centers include: different people caring for your children due to shifts and high staff turnover rates. Your child is less likely to form a deep bond with the caregivers less flexible policies about sick leave, vacation, etc. potential to be exposed to a rigid academic curriculum which may be developmentally inappropriate and could discourage future success higher tuition rates (usually) What’s best for your child? Selecting quality child care is crucial to your child’s future. Studies have shown that positive and negative effects of child care have proven to be long lasting. Infants and toddlers in poor-quality care are more likely to become less compliant and self-regulated preschoolers, while high-quality child care programs help children do better in kindergarten and beyond. Family child care providers and child care centers can both offer poor and high-quality child care, and each type of care has its advantages and disadvantages. Since every family is different, you must decide on which type of care is best for your child. Regardless of whether you go with a home daycare or a child care center, look for a high-quality program that is licensed, has low teacher-to-child ratios, offers a developmentally appropriate curriculum, and has trained and experienced caregivers who will be invested in your child. Have you experienced other advantages or disadvantages in family or center-based care? What has your experience been like?

However one thing I’d like to add is with experience having worked in group centers and a family home daycare I can say the care for the two are completely different. The first five years of a child’s life are the most critical. They are the foundation that shapes the child’s future health, happiness, growth, development and learning achievement at school, in the family and community, and in life in general. If this doesn’t cover every aspect, I don’t know what does. These effects pertain to overall long term growth and development rather than what they can learn and experience in a shorter time span. Given that, the smaller groups of an at-home daycare can give the nurture, care, love and attention the child needs to support their overall growth. Given the larger amount of children in a center the harder it is for a teacher to develop this one-on-one time. The socialization that parents may want is still given even in small groups of 8-10 children. Reply Rayleen Berry says: September 21, 2020 at 12:04 am This was a pretty good explanation detailing the differences of the two types of care. With that said, I was disappointed in your wording that left many to think that social emotional learning and a rich curriculum would likely be missing and that the education experience of the providers would be lower than of those in a chid care center. Many in home providers have a college education and provide a rich learning environment that addresses the growth of the whole child, often focusing on the social emotional and physical development of the children. Reply CareLuLu says: December 30, 2020 at 3:35 pm Thank you for sharing, Rayleen! You’re absolutely right, many in-home child care providers and early childhood educators indeed have a college education and provide a very rich learning environment. Many family child care and preschool programs do have an amazing curriculum that addresses the growth of the whole child, and focus on social, emotional and physical development. This article is meant to describe the high-level macro trends, and in general, we do tend to see the trends we described (from working with thousands of child care facilities). We tried to emphasize that these trends were not always the case though (we wrote that centers have “potentially better educated/trained caregivers (although not always)” and that homes have “possibly less educated teachers”). Many families prefer an in-home child care environment for many reasons, and you’re completely right, many home-based early education programs are run by caregivers with college degrees and offer a top-notch curriculum! Thanks again for your comment! Reply Levi Armstrong says: July 6, 2020 at 3:45 pm Evgeniya, it’s great that you said that child care centers can provide a more structured schedule and school-like environment that can help prepare children to transition into kindergarten. I also believe that child care centers will be more beneficial for my toddler’s learning since they have can provide educational curriculums. My daughter is turning three soon, and my husband and I are starting to plan her education. We’ll keep what you said in mind and start looking for child care centers nearby. Thanks! Reply Taylor Hansen says: June 1, 2020 at 4:09 pm I like how you mentioned that a home-based child care program can have fewer cases of illnesses. I didn’t think about that, thank you! Reply Ellie Davis says: March 16, 2020 at 2:11 pm My sister moved to our city, and we are looking for advice about what to do to help her find a child care facility. I liked that you mentioned a home-based child care facility will ensure fewer cases of illnesses since there will be fewer children in the facilities. I will let her know about your recommendations to choose the right daycare facility for their child. Reply Zachary Tomlinson says: February 18, 2020 at 4:01 pm Thanks for helping me understand the difference between child care centers and home daycare towards children. I like how this article went in-depth on the pros and cons of each. Reply Alice Carroll says: February 5, 2020 at 9:58 pm This comparison is very informative, as I’m also one of the people who were confused about the difference between a child care center and a home daycare and this article has been very helpful. I think we will opt to enroll our child in a child care center because of the higher amount of children involved, giving more chances to build social connections. Reply Tammie Houston says: November 9, 2017 at 7:11 am When you mentioned that by bringing my kids to a daycare center there are more possibilities of developing language, literacy, emotions, and social skills, there’s pretty much nothing left to talk about. I was planning to take my daughter to a daycare center, and now I more evidence to support my ideas. Thanks a lot! I’ll make sure to find a good center as soon as I can! Reply Victoria Day Care says: June 4, 2017 at 11:59 pm Excellent comparison of child care facilities. At times, apart from considering the teachers or caregivers, convenience in location and the governing policies in case of troubled situations, also matters. Reply Vivek says: May 18, 2017 at 10:54 am I totally agree with the points mentioned in the post. All the pros and cons are perfectly described. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post. Reply Joy Butler says: February 6, 2017 at 4:21 pm I agree that it is important to select childcare that is best for your child as an individual. It seems like a good idea to assess what your child needs most in order to transition appropriately. It could be a good idea to do a trial run with both kinds of care centers to see what best suits your child’s needs. Reply Wendy Howell says: January 30, 2017 at 5:34 am I am a family home provider. I worked as a legal secretary (now known as paralegal), until my twins were born. I stayed home , opened up a home daycare, taught Pre-K classes ,to late 2 years olds to the age of 5 , until they started school. I adveraged 40 hours of CEU credit training a year in health and safety, brain development, small and large motor skills, healthy foods and non healthy foods, extending great books, puppets, music, science, nature, colors, letters, numbers etc. I have Early Intervention come to my home and teach those who qualify Speech, motor skills, etc. and follow them thru elementary school. I am also Nationally Accredited, have CPR -First Aid every 2 years, and background checks. My staff consists of an Executive Assistant, 2 relief workers, 2 Subs. The staff has all the training I do. All the providers I know have great facilities and are great childcare teachers. We do not baby-sit at just Kids Daycare. I feel every drop of education a child gets is important. My daycare is structured and and the children love it. Reply Kody Loveless says: July 29, 2016 at 5:58 pm Thanks for sharing. My oldest is getting to the age where we want to put her in a development type center to help prepare her for school. I really like that you said a center will have a structured schedule and school-like environment. I think that will be a huge help for my daughter to succeed in school. Reply T says: July 22, 2016 at 1:54 am I am EXTREMELY nervous about putting my soon to be 4 month old in daycare. Does anyone have experience in putting a child this young in daycare? Answers are greatly appreciated! Reply Lori says: July 5, 2016 at 10:18 pm For Australian readers: In Australia, Family Day Care and In Home Care educators are every bit as regulated and organised as centre based services. Ratios: In Australia, Family Day Care ratios are 1 educator to maximum 7 children (maximum 4 under school age). Qualifications: FDC educators (Care givers) must hold a minimum qualification of Certificate 3 in Children’s Services which is the same as long day care centre educators. Many have higher qualifications including Diplomas, Bachelor degrees and more. Supervision: FDC Educators are regularly monitored by scheme coordinators and must comply with all local, state & national rules, regulations and policies and are regularly assessed and rated by the national body under the National Quality Standards, just as are long day care centres. Curriculum: FDC educators are required to plan and programme for individual children’s learning needs and interests and to publish and make public the learning programme. We are also required to set goals and track them for each child, documenting the achievements of each child. Language and literacy, indigenous awareness, cultural competence, nutrition, science, social behaviour, sustainable living, healthy lifestyles, mathematic concepts & understanding… and the list goes on and on are embedded in our daily routines. Television plays little to no part in most of our curriculum choices. In addition, we are required to document and share our observations of children’s learning with parents, based on our Early Years Learning Framework and Nation Quality Framework. In terms of other differences: excursions are logistically easier for Family Day Care services due to the smaller ratios and risk assessment and action planning for smaller numbers and transportation. So trips to the local library, post office, grocer, zoo, parks, cinema, playgroups, YMCA, art galleries etc are commonplace in FDC services. Many FDC educators offer before and after school care including pick up and delivery to school and kindergarten, thus allowing children the continued familiarity and support from a trusted educator. Relationships in FDC are generally much stronger as the educator is consistently the same person all day everyday, sometimes for 12 or more years. Family members usually have the opportunity for greater involvement in FDC settings as they also become part of the educator’s extended community (family) As FDC educators spend so much time with the children in their care, they know the children incredibly well, and will notice any subtle changes to health or behaviour much sooner than sometimes even their parent. Reply Jessie Harrison says: May 17, 2016 at 10:37 pm I want to get my kids the best care and education as fast as I can. My daughter is only four, but I want to get her into a child care program. I like to hear this good news you’ve shared, like how the program is a home-like environment. Reply Rachelle Fields says: April 23, 2016 at 12:46 am I am thinking about allowing my 2-year-old go to a center. He is now at a home child care facility, but I can’t say I’m too pleased about it. I am usually a fan of home-based childcare centers, but some of the things that I’m encountering is starting to become annoying. For example, my child’s provider sent me a text message the night before me having to go to work, to inform me that she had a fever of 104 degrees along with vomiting. She said she didn’t want to get any of the kids sick so she was closing for a day? I told her that maybe she should go the urgent care, but she said she already scheduled an appointment with her doctor for 7 am the following morning. I was skeptical, but I left it alone. Fast forward a week, my child’s provider is now stating that she made an appointment with the doctor a month and 1/2 ago for a different ailment. She said that she doesn’t know if she will make it back in time to care for my son. In my opinion, if you don’t want to do your job, close your center, Don’t inconvenience people because you don’t want to deal with it for that day. I’ve had in home providers in the past that were excellent and not making excuses to keep my child. I’m not making excuses when you demand your pay? All I ask for is mutual respect. Reply Lesley says: April 7, 2016 at 9:44 pm I think it’s really important for families looking for care to explore all their options. As an early childhood educator, I have worked in a variety of environments. The pros and cons for each listed can be easily switched to the other side. A lot of home child care programs have quality structured preschool programming (and some don’t). At the same time, a lot of child care center have quality structure preschool programming (and some don’t). Also, a lot of highly educated providers end up leaving center-based programs to create their own home-based programs because of some centers poor-quality programming. I’ve heard (so don’t quote me on this one) that Family Child Care programs tend to have higher qualified teachers than at centers. Also, centers have a lot of turnover. I think families will benefit a lot from visiting all types of programs and learning about each school’s strategies for curriculum, philosophy, and staff development. And, learn about how licensing works in their state. In California, you are able to look up all facilities’ licensing visits and see if there are any violations. That has saved some parents from enrolling children at a center with a ton of violations! Good luck in your search for care! It’s worth the effort when you find that perfect school for your little one! Reply Tara Jones says: March 14, 2016 at 6:30 pm I wasn’t aware that family care even existed, so it was good to hear about its advantages and disadvantages and compare it to child care. I like the sounds of both of them for different reasons, but considering that my daughter is 4 I think that a child care center will be best, based on what you said about how they help prepare kids for kindergarten. I’ll just make sure that the curriculum is age and ability appropriate for my daughter! Reply Jeffrey Goodman says: January 27, 2016 at 2:17 pm I am liking child care because there are more caregivers/teachers. Also, more kids mean more friends for my daughter. That is the most important to me to have friendships. Thanks for the advice! Reply Jason Strong says: January 18, 2016 at 10:39 pm My brother in law and sister are trying to figure out what to do with my nieces while they are at work. They are thinking a day care, but can’t decide. This article has some good points that I think can help them figure this out. Reply Logan says: January 14, 2016 at 4:58 pm It’s nice to know that in child care centers they usually separate the kids into age groups. I was a little worried at first that they would all be in the same group and our future kid would be looked over. My wife and I are pregnant! We are really, really excited but we need to figure out how we are going to handle work and taking care of our new baby in a few months. Luckily my wife will be able to take be home for a while before needing to go back to work. Thank you for the info, it was really helpful! Reply Jordan Jorgenson says: November 17, 2015 at 2:58 pm Thanks for listing the pros and cons of in-home child care and child care centers. I think you are right when you say that both type can be good or bad. It all depends on how much you trust them. Rather, it all comes down to doing your homework before choosing a child care program. As long as parents do this they won’t have any problem. Reply Ian Johanson says: November 6, 2015 at 5:04 pm Thanks for your post. My sister used to run an in home daycare for some of her friends. Because of this, and everything else I have heard about daycare, I just assumed that having an in home day care was better. I hadn’t considered that the kids would have less supervision and that the teaching might not be as good. I’ll have to rethink my ideas about daycare, but I think you are right that I should always look for a high quality program. Reply Jenkins Leroyson says: November 5, 2015 at 6:09 pm This is some great information to consider when looking at these two options. It seems like there are a lot of factors that you should look at before deciding. Making sure you know exactly what you need can help narrow down your search. We’ll be sure to keep this in mind as we look around for child care! Reply Deanna R. Jones says: November 4, 2015 at 12:07 am I liked that you mentioned how center-based child care programs typically have a structured schedule and school-like environment. One thing that I’ve been worried about is how my child would adjust to a day to day school schedule before starting kindergarten. Getting him used to a structured schedule while he’s in preschool would help him to quickly acclimate to a new school once he finishes preschool. Thanks for the information! Reply Steven Harrison says: September 23, 2015 at 5:59 pm Thanks for sharing these thorough pros and cons lists. This does help the conversations I’ve been having with my wife about what to do with our little ones. I think we will tentatively start reaching out to day care locations. Reply James Bay says: September 23, 2015 at 12:48 pm Recently, I have been trying to decide on which one to enroll my child in. I agree that it really matters on the level of quality of the care given. I will need to remember this as I search. Thank you for the great information. Reply Ted Smith says: August 12, 2015 at 12:18 pm I really appreciate the list of pro’s and cons of a child care center vs. a home daycare. My son is going to be turning four and I feel that he needs to be around other kids now instead of a babysitter. I like how in the center-based child care program, they have potentially better educated/trained caregivers. That way they can teach my son all the things he needs to know before he goes to kindergarten. Thanks again for this list of comparisons! Reply Tyechia says: May 21, 2015 at 3:13 pm Prior to opening my family child care I worked 7 years in center based child care. Then worked 2 years in a home day care. Due to my experience I have been able to combine the best of both worlds. I offer my parents the professional, learning, technology integration environment and stability of a center. While also providing a clean, flexible family like environment for a reasonable price. My self and my staff complete at least 4 classes yearly and attend conferences. I have witnessed first hand the things mentioned in the article on both sides. Thank you for providing an equal look at the possible good and bad of both family and center based child care. In the end the family has to decide which works better for their family. Reply Elise says: May 20, 2015 at 12:58 pm Hi Jen! This is a great article showing the different ends of the spectrum! I just wanted to note that there are some places that try to combine the best of both. Ours is small, about 12 babies up to age 2 and a few toddlers up to 3 upstairs. Our son has a few caregivers but one that takes care of him most and that he definitily is bonded to. It might be worth considering parent benefits too. The parents have a relationship and a co-op for professional development days when the center is closed. I’m not sure how common this type of place is, but it’s a nice combination! Reply Jennifer Cyr says: May 20, 2015 at 11:27 am I take offense to the ideas that family childcare providers are often less educated and don’t offer a rich curriculum. Where do you get your information? I belong to a network of curriculum rich providers who are not only well-educated, but continue to further their training despite having met requirements. We work so much harder than center based staff, and deserve your respect…I don’t feel like we have it. Reply Evgeniya (Jen) Usmanova says: May 20, 2015 at 10:17 pm Hi Jennifer. Thanks for reading and for your comment. The exact quote is, “The potential downsides/disadvantages of home-based child care include: possibly less educated teachers and less educationally enriched curriculum.” Please note that I used the word “possibly”. I have a lot of respect for family child care providers as I’ve worked with hundreds of them. There are many wonderful providers who have been in the industry for a long time and don’t have Bachelor degrees, and there are providers who do and still don’t make great teachers. I’ve also worked with providers who follow an existing curriculum or create their own, and some who wing it. The word “possibly” was used intentionally. The post doesn’t say that family child care providers are uneducated and without a curriculum period. In fact if you read the article in its entirety, you will see that I have mentioned the potential advantages and disadvantages of each type of care (centers and home-based). If anything, I tried to breakdown the stereotype parents sometimes have of family providers as being less safe and second-best to centers. My ultimate point with which I started the post and with which I ended is that “Family child care providers and child care centers can both offer poor and high-quality child care, and each type of care has its advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of whether you go with a home daycare or a child care center, look for a high-quality program that is licensed, has low teacher-to-child ratios, offers a developmentally appropriate curriculum, and has trained and experienced caregivers who will be invested in your child.” Reply Patricia Anderson says: April 11, 2016 at 1:16 pm After reading this I think I like the idea of family infant/child care. I mean don’t get me wrong a day car facility sounds nice but I like the idea that it is a more home like environment. When I have kids I want them to feel like they are at home when I can’t be there. Why do family child care providers usually only allow a few kids to join their group? Reply Dani says: May 23, 2017 at 3:52 pm Family childcare providers are restricted by their ratio, square footage etc, depending on where you are what ages you have – the owner’s own children may even count to that ratio. That’s why the groups are so small Patricia Anderson. Just to weigh in – I run a home daycare/preschool. They don’t watch TV, instead we do developmentally appropriate activities, exercises, projects, etc. They also don’t spend hours on end in a pack ‘n’ play, bouncer or exersaucer – when I worked at someone else’s home daycare – I was horrified at how much time the babies spend in these things. It’s definitely harder with different ages but with the use of a few baby gates I’ve managed to make it work. The two-year old can play with a sensory table in full view of me while the littler ones enjoy some loose parts play with containers and lids. I’d also like to mention that I run my daycare/preschool out of my own home. I don’t have a family or any other children live here – after working in other home daycares – I consider this a benefit. I’ve witnessed older children who were puking in the a.m., and then being allowed to still play with the younger children – while their puke bucket sits in the corner. I’ve seen fights between spouses that were had in front of the children. I’ve seen the child who ‘lives’ there getting definite advantages, more attention, getting away with tantrums and so on. I understand some of it and I’m relieved that I don’t have to make those hard decisions. Reply Lauren says: May 15, 2015 at 2:09 pm Wonderful post about the pros and cons of both child care centers and home day care. It is important that you select the best option for your child.

What’s the Difference Between Center-Based & Home-Based Daycare? skip to main content Search for: April 08, 2021 The difference between center-based daycares and home-based daycares is primarily in the location. Center-based daycares are operated in commercial care spaces—not in the owner’s home; home-based daycares, on the other hand, are run in residential spaces.

Which Option Is Better: Home-Based or Center-Based Childcare? That really depends on what you’re looking for with childcare. If you work odd hours, a home-based daycare might be able to accommodate your needs. However, there might be fewer workers to keep the center staffed if someone gets sick. Your child’s care is ultimately up to you, so trust your gut when making decisions about what’s best for your family. Home-Based Daycare By definition, home-based daycare is a small childcare business operated inside someone’s home. Pros Lower Costs: Surprisingly, home-based daycare centers are normally cheaper than center-based facilities. Based on a National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) study, Americans spend more on center-based daycare than on home-based childcare in most states. 1 Smaller Class Sizes: At-home daycares typically have one to three caregivers for three to twelve kids. This allows kids to get more bonding time with their caregivers and grow in a nurturing environment with more personalized attention. Home-Like Atmosphere: Smaller class sizes and the facility being in someone’s home could make home-based daycares feel more familiar to your kids. If you have shy or timid children, this can help them come out of their shells faster. Flexibility: Home-based daycares aren’t necessarily nine-to-five businesses. Since they’re smaller, home-based daycare owners may be able to accommodate a trickier schedule for parents who work late shifts or long hours. Less Germs: Fewer kids means less germs. When kids are little, they pick up everything—and end up getting sick constantly. While this process is important in building a strong immune system, it makes for unhappy kids and parents. Limit your child’s or baby’s exposure to a mecca of germs by sending them to a home-based daycare. Cons Mixed Ages: Smaller daycare facilities will most likely not have enough separate spaces to keep newborns and toddlers separate. On the upside, it will teach children to be aware of each other. No Back-Up Plan: If your home-based daycare owner gets sick or goes on vacation, you might lose childcare for that day or week. This can be catastrophic for working parents who can’t stay home with kids. Center-Based Daycare Center-based daycare facilities are in commercial buildings. These businesses are usually much larger than home-based daycare centers and can therefore take in more kids. Pros Greater Peer Interaction: The larger class sizes of center-based daycare facilities can be a good thing. Your child will be able to play with lots of kids their own age. This will help with sharing, conscientiousness, learning from others, and making friends. Lots of Staff: You know when you’re about to head out the door and the babysitter cancels? Well, you won’t need to worry about being flaked on with a bigger childcare facility. These businesses have lots of caretakers, so there’s always someone there during business hours. This consistency is something working parents count on. Regulation: More kids means more organization. Center-based daycares open and close at strict hours. They also normally regulate children’s schedules with mealtime, naptime, playtime, and more. These kinds of schedules can help your children learn organization. Cons Strict Hours: While regimens can be good in some ways, they’re not in others. If you’re running late at the office or stuck in traffic, you may have to pay a fee for picking kids up late. Center-based daycares don’t revolve around you—you revolve around them. Higher Costs: Center-based daycares are typically much more expensive per month than home-based daycare facilities. The overhead on these businesses is more expensive since the owners need to rent space, pay salaries, and buy insurance for many employees and children—and you end up paying more as a result. Other Childcare Options Nannies and au pairs are also great alternatives to consider for daycare. Nannies: Some parents aren’t comfortable sending their children to daycare. If you’re among that group and have the budget, a nanny is a great option. This way, you know your child is in your home, under surveillance of your own indoor video cameras, and with someone you know. Your baby will get personalized attention since they will be the only one in the nanny’s care. Au Pair: Au pairs are nannies from other countries, and they’re generally less expensive than other kinds of nannies—though they do often live with the host family. If you want to welcome a caretaker into your home, getting an au pair is a fantastic option that will allow your kids to form a bond and give you peace of mind knowing someone you trust is with your kids when you’re not.

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing the best type of daycare for your little one. Many parents ultimately come down to a decision between a day care center and an in-home daycare, also called a home daycare. Here is everything you need to know if you are pondering the question – child care centre vs home daycare? If you are a first-time parent, you may not know the difference between a daycare center versus a home daycare…and that’s okay. When I was a new mom, picking a place to send my precious baby, when my maternity leave ended, was a scary and confusing task. There are advantages to each daycare option, and your family will have different child care needs than the next. Between my four young daughters, I have experience with both center-based childcare and homecare, so I understand the pros and cons of each. Here’s is my overview of both types of daycare, to help you make the most informed decision. What is Home Daycare? What most sets an in-home daycare apart from a daycare center is the setting. Home child care is provided in a caregiver’s home, rather than a larger child care center. Parents of infants often prefer in-home child care for its homey atmosphere, and because it can be easier to find one. Home cares often have smaller caregiver-to-child ratios – allowing the caregiver to provide more individualized attention to each child. All four of my girls attended a licensed home daycare when I returned to work after my maternity leaves. Personally, I found comfort in knowing my baby was with a small group of children in someone’s home. I was fortunate enough to find a wonderful childcare provider who developed a tight bond with my girls. In-home child care programs usually offer a mixed age group with a combination of infants, toddlers and preschoolers, so it’s more like a family than a preschool. There are government regulations regarding how many children of each age one provider can have in their home – to ensure children receive the care they require. For example, in Ontario, childcare providers must follow the rules set out in the Child Care & Early Years Act. There are two types of home-based child care in my province of Ontario: Home-based Child Care Options home child care providers overseen by a licensed agency unlicensed home child care Here is a summary table of the main features of licensed versus unlicensed home daycare. Licensed VS Unlicensed Home Child Care Comparison Home Care Option Number of Children Allowed Responsibilities of Child Care Provider Licensed Home Daycare (overseen by a licensed agency) Up to six children under the age of 13 Count their own children if they are younger than four years old Maximum of three children younger than two years old Meet the regulations outlined by the licensed agency, as directed by the provincial government Unlicensed Home Daycare Up to five children under the age of 13 Count their own children if they are younger than four years old Maximum of three children younger than two years old Can’t operate in more than one location Inform parents in writing that they are unlicensed by the Government of Ontario (or other) Keep proof that parents are aware of unlicensed status Child Care Centre VS Home Daycare Comparison: Licensed VS Unlicensed Information Table Read: 15 Items Your Child Needs For Daycare (for babies & toddlers) What is a Daycare Centre? Parents often choose a daycare centre for what they consider to be its social and educational advantages. It’s like an early introduction to the kindergarten classroom – with larger groups of children in a preschool setting. Qualified caregivers care for kids who are grouped by age, from young infants all the way to children about to attend school. Daycare centres have a larger staff of early childcare professionals and are made to follow strict rules and regulations. They are licensed by the province and qualifications vary across the country. These regulations establish caregiver-to-child ratios, health and safety requirements, as well as rules related to training, certifications and background checks for employees. Daycare centres are often run by organizations such as churches, schools or municipal governments. These centres may also operate before-and-after school programs, summer camps, early years programs, preschools, and can be independently owned or part of a chain. What are the advantages of sending your child to a daycare centre? Read: How to Choose Between the 12 and 18 Month Parental Leave Child Care Centre VS Home Daycare: Pros & Cons Daycare Centres Daycare centres provide childcare out of a facility, such as a community centre, church, or school. Although I’ve never enrolled any of my daughters with a daycare centre when they were babies, my 2-year-old daughter now attends one and she loves it! I decided to move her from her home daycare to the centre because It is conveniently located at the school where I teach. Here are some of the main advantages, and disadvantages, myself and others parents have found with having your child attend a centre-based child care program. Pros Consistency – Daycare centres are open weekdays during set hours and there is always staff available. So even if a daycare worker calls in sick, you know you still have child care. Social – Daycare centres have a larger number of children enrolled and divide kids up by age groups, so your child will be able to socialize with more children his/her age, as well as more teachers. Safety – Daycare centres are required to follow provincial daycare regulations, such as passing regular health inspections, hiring staff with CPR & First Aid training and obtaining comprehensive insurance. There are usually locked entrances and security cameras onsite. Structure – Centres offer regular programs and activities for kids such as craft time, outdoor play time, story time and sing-a-longs. Many centres also take the children on daily walks, to the park, or on field trips to a petting zoo or apple orchard. Education – Centres are more likely to have an educationally enriched curriculum, that teaches literacy, language development, and social & emotional skills – all of which are helpful for preparing your child for kindergarten. Employee Training – The staff are educated & trained professional caregivers, such as early childhood educators Read: Newborn Baby Essentials on a Budget Cons Cost – Daycare centres are more expensive. Private daycare centres will typically charge more to cover things like rent, staff salaries, insurance, utilities and food. To save money, look for one that is not-for-profit or government subsidized. To give you an idea of the price difference, I paid $37 per day for my daughter to attend her former home daycare. I now pay $50 per day at her daycare centre. Inflexibility – Many daycare centres charge an extra fee to parents who are late to pick their children up or need to drop them off early. Centres may have less flexible policies – requiring you to pay for days your child is ill, for government holidays, and for vacation days. Large Groups – Many daycare centres provide care to large groups of kids at once, separated into infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms. This may not be right for you if you’re looking for a more intimate setting for your baby. Illness – When your child starts daycare for the first time, they are bound to catch several colds in the first year. In a larger centre, there are more children, therefore more germs floating around. Staff Turnover – At a centre, your child will have 3 to 4 different caregivers in his/her classroom, depending upon enrollment. This could affect their ability to form a close bond with one caregiver. What are the advantages of sending your child to a home daycare? Read: How To Teach Your Kids French At Home Home Daycares Home daycares provide childcare out of a care provider’s home. The background and experience of the caregiver should be an important factor when choosing a provider. For example, the wonderful woman who took care of my girls was a former kindergarten teacher. That gave me lots of confidence in her ability to teach and supervise my children. Pros Small Groups – There are provincial regulations that strictly limit the number of children homecare providers can care for at once, meaning your child will have plenty of individual attention. Flexibility – Home daycares are often flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and some providers won’t charge you for holidays, sick days, or vacation time. Family Atmosphere – Home daycares are similar to sending your child to stay with an aunt or grandma for the day. This was my reason for choosing this option when my kids were little. My girls formed a bond with their caregiver and a few other “friends” they played with at her home. Close friendships – The smaller number of children attending a homecare can create close friendships between the children. Often the care providers are parents themselves who have their own young kids at home. My daughters became good friends with our providers own girls, often inviting them to their birthday parties or playdates outside of daycare hours. Costs – Home daycares are often less expensive than child care centres. As mentioned above, I’m currently spending about $300 more per month sending my daughter to a centre than I did at a home daycare. Fewer Illnesses – There should be fewer cases of illness since your child is exposed to fewer children. Read: How To Save Money For Maternity Leave Cons No Backup – If your child care provider falls ill, goes on vacation, or has an appointment, you’re left without childcare unless you have family to help you out. Safety – It’s up to you to verify if the setting is safe for your child if you place him or her in an unlicensed home daycare. Space – The space available for your child to learn and play is dependent upon the size of the caregiver’s home and yard. Caregivers must have a dedicated space in their house set aside for the daycare, as well as a quite place for the children to nap. Less Structure – The quality of the educational curriculum depends upon the desire and abilities of the homecare provider. Look for one who understands early childhood education, and can prepare enriched and engaging activities for your child to do each day. Read: How To Make A Budget For A Big Family Is a Home Daycare Or Daycare Centre Best For Your Child? Placing your child in someone else’s care when you return to work is a heart-wrenching time for moms and dads alike. I remember, all to well, the worry and guilt I felt at having to leave my baby during the day for the first time…it just didn’t seem fair! But, be reassured, that all will be well. There are both wonderful homecare providers and child care centres that offer high-quality care for children. Since every family is different, you must decide on which type of care is best for your child. Regardless of whether you decide on a home daycare or a child care center, look for a program that is licensed, has low teacher-to-child ratios, offers an educationally appropriate curriculum, and has experienced caregivers who will bond with your child. Do your research, check references, and reflect on the pros and cons mentioned in this article to help you make your choice. If you enjoyed Child Care Centre VS Home Daycare, please share!

One of the hardest parts of parenting through early childhood years is making decisions about your child’s care throughout the workday. The importance of early learning and early childhood development cannot be overstated, as it’s well known to form the foundation of a lifetime of healthy learning and development. There are many considerations when it comes to selecting a child care program or in-home caregiver that is right for your family, and it’s completely normal for big decisions like these to come with a lot of complex feelings and conflicting opinions. Here are a few guidelines to help parents and caregivers objectively weigh their child care options: Understand the difference between a regulated and non-regulated child care setting. A full-time babysitter who is only watching children from one family is not required to be registered with DSS Child Care Licensing. Without that additional oversight and regulation, parents or caregivers must have complete trust in their chosen babysitter. If a potential caretaker is responsible for children from more than one family that isn’t related to them, they are required to be registered as a provider with DSS Child Care Licensing. A regulated child care setting can give parents some additional peace of mind because registration means several things, including that the provider meets basic requirements for health and safety, DSS has the right to visit and evaluate the setting once a year, and all household members have completed required background checks to be registered.  Consider the pros and cons of each child care setting. For many parents and caregivers, convenience may be top of mind when a neighbor or friend offers to watch their child when they go back to work. Some pros for in-home care may be a more home-like environment, a closer teacher-to-child bond and potentially smaller caregiver-to-child ratio, less exposure to childhood colds and illnesses, and a more flexible caregiver. Some cons for in-home care could be potentially less qualified caregivers and less educational curriculum, less oversight and safety checks like video surveillance, possibly more screen/television time, and the lack of a substitute if the babysitter or caregiver is sick. On the flip side, some pros for regulated child care centers may include: a more structured and school-like environment, which may be especially beneficial for children approaching kindergarten; substitute teachers should teachers fall ill or be unavailable; potentially more educationally enriched curriculum; more opportunities to socialize with a wide variety of teachers and children; potentially more enrichment activities like music or dance; a better-secured entrance and possible in-class video cameras; first aid and CPR-trained staff are often on-site; and state registration with DSS Child Care Licensing. Some cons for child care centers could be less flexible policies when it comes to sick days, vacations, or late pick-ups; the chance of more exposure to childhood colds and illnesses; the possibility of different people caring for your child due to different shifts and work schedules; and occasionally higher tuition rates.  Place health and safety above all else. The health and safety of a child will always be more important than cost or convenience. So, one main thing to look out for is an in-home babysitter or caregiver watching children from multiple families who are not registered with DSS Child Care Licensing. When the number of children increases in any home setting, additional safety precautions—and state regulation—should be in place. Providers who are registered must hit several key safety measures, including meeting DSS defined basic requirements for health and safety, allowing DSS to conduct a visit and check things out annually, and passing central registry/sex offender/fingerprint background checks to rule out any past charges of child abuse or neglect.  Whether or not parents decide to go with an in-home daycare, babysitter, or a child care center, they should always look for a high-quality environment that is regulated (if required), has low caregiver-to-student/child ratios, offers a variety of indoor and outdoor activities to stimulate age-appropriate development, and one that places their child with a trained and experienced care provider (or providers). Parents and caregivers should always look for a situation in which they feel basic health and safety needs are met, but also somewhere they feel caregivers will be invested in their child’s overall education, development, and well-being.  For more information on ABC Quality’s grading procedure of participating child care providers in South Carolina, visit www.abcquality.org/what-is-abc-quality/. By ABC Quality Team on December 22, 2021 Home kindergarten? How does it happen? Sooner or later in the life of every parent, the question arises: should I send my child to a kindergarten, and which kindergarten to choose? Today there are several categories of kindergartens in nature. For example, kindergartens are of a general developmental type with a priority direction (for example, physical, intellectual, artistic and aesthetic, etc.), child development centers and kindergartens of a combined and compensating type (speech therapy, orthopedic, eye, etc. ). And also according to the principle of management – municipal, departmental, private and domestic, or, as they are also called, family kindergartens . And if with all the rest everything is more or less clear, then what the latter are and whether they should be trusted with the upbringing of their children, not every parent knows today. A family kindergarten is a small private kindergarten, which is usually maintained by a married couple in their own or specially rented apartment, where a playroom, a bedroom and other rooms necessary for classes with kids are specially equipped. If necessary and depending on the number of children attending home kindergarten , a teacher, nanny, cook, teachers and other specialists can be invited to it. But most often all these functions are performed by the hostess of the house. Home kindergarten. Pros and cons Family kindergarten is a relatively new phenomenon in Russia. Just like any other preschool educational institution, it has its pros and cons. Among the main advantages that are usually considered by parents are, as a rule, a smaller number of pupils and improved conditions for their stay (the so-called home environment). If the organizers really created their kindergarten with great love for the children who will attend it, and concern for their development, then, as a rule, the pupils of such institutions are really comfortable in them, and the kids are happy to spend time there. In addition, in a home kindergarten, by prior arrangement, you can always leave your child for an extra couple of hours, and sometimes even an extra day. True, you will have to pay extra for this, but, nevertheless, it can be convenient for those parents whose work schedule is irregular. The family kindergarten also has its drawbacks. First of all, the activities of such establishments in Russia are unofficial. There is no need to talk about a license for educational activities at all. For the same reason – the illegality of the business, the quality of food is also not monitored and controlled by someone else, except for the organizers of the home kindergarten. And what parents have to rely on in this case is their honesty, decency and luck. This is perhaps the most serious disadvantage of the family kindergarten. Although there are others. Such as the quality of your baby’s education, which can suffer significantly compared to your visit to any other private kindergarten – because of the small budget, such institutions cannot always afford professional teachers with extensive experience in the field of education. In addition, such a kindergarten does not have a specially equipped playground for walking, children usually walk in the courtyard of the house where home kindergarten is located. In the course of this, babysitting becomes much more difficult, additional risks appear. And finally, given the location of the kindergarten, after the first complaint from the neighbors of the house about noise or just a report about the illegal activities of the organizers, such a preschool institution can be closed, and its owners brought to justice . .. In general, when sending a child to such a kindergarten, parents should remember that with all the advantages of such an institution, no one except you yourself bears real responsibility for your child in it … A good alternative to a family kindergarten is a mini-kindergarten Montessori If you are generally satisfied with the principle of a private kindergarten, then there is another form of preschool that has recently appeared, but is already popular. This is a mini-kindergarten or, more simply, a part-time group of a kindergarten operating on the basis of a children’s development center. This is a new promising direction in the system of preschool education for toddlers, ideal for loving parents who do not plan to send their child to a regular kindergarten. The Sozvezdie network of children’s developing Montessori centers offers you its mini-kindergarten program, based on Montessori developmental classes and which is actually a part-time kindergarten group, but with very high quality training and loving staff, where everything is created for in order to grow out of your baby a truly unique and inimitable personality. In our mini-kindergarten groups, your child will easily and in an interesting way receive all the knowledge necessary for entering school, as well as the most important skills in modern life, such as interaction with others, self-discipline, responsibility, love of learning and many, many others. . Part-time kindergarten groups of the network of children’s developing Montessori centers “Sozvezdie” – it is always an individual approach to education and upbringing, an interesting teaching program, very high-quality preparation for school and loving staff, looking forward to each new meeting with their pupils .

How to live without a kindergarten It is believed that “non-kindergarten” children are deprived of something: socialization, development, even the ability to obey adults. Is it so? Is it necessary to attend a kindergarten and what is required from parents if a child grows up at home, we discuss with psychologist Anna Skavitina. Anna Skavitina, psychologist, analyst, member of the IAAP (International Association of Analytical Psychology), supervisor of the ROAP and the Jung Institute (Zurich), expert of the Psychology journal Garden for all Not so long ago, children were divided into “kindergarten” and “non-kindergarten”: it was assumed that those who are in good health and got a place in the institution must go to kindergarten in order to receive a package of educational and educational services. They looked at the “non-Sadovskie”, domestic children with sympathy, regretting the serious losses that their recently begun life suffered, and pondering how to compensate for the gaps in socialization, without which schooling was seriously threatened. I think many people know that kindergartens were invented so that parents could go to work and join the social labor market without thinking that the child would be left without care. Later, additional educational functions were “attached” to kindergartens, and subsequently attending a kindergarten began to be interpreted as an indispensable element in the development of a child. And even the presence of free grandparents in the family, who are happy to take care of their grandchildren, has come to be seen as an insufficient factor for adequate supervision and intellectual development. Children began to fall under state care from an early age. Today we see a reverse trend: the value of a child grows along with the desire of parents to bring up and raise a child in the way they consider it right. This has been helped in no small part by the fact that today’s adults have become more sensitive to situations of violence. Having experienced unpleasant moments in kindergarten themselves in childhood, when they were forced to eat, sleep, planted in a row on pots, “hewn and planed” so that they were less sensitive to their emotions and needs, they now do not want the same for their children – fantasizing that everything will be the same in modern kindergartens. All this has led to the emergence of numerous alternatives to public kindergartens: private kindergartens based on different educational paradigms, short stay groups that develop children’s centers, hobby groups, a revived institute of nannies and governesses, etc. And for children who are not never went to kindergarten, now it is not necessary to have an excuse in the form of health problems. And it also turned out that children who do not attend kindergarten may well be physically, intellectually and emotionally developed at all no worse than children after kindergarten training. Are we sure we can do it? The main purpose of the kindergarten is to provide care and supervision, that is, to temporarily take over the functions of parents. Parents who have chosen not to send their child to kindergartens at all usually understand that he will be with them 24/7. And all educational functions that could be outsourced will need to be taken over. In general, this is possible, because many generations of people raised children without social structures, but in the current world, the amount of what exactly a child should be able to and know by school age has seriously changed. It’s another matter that very few parents can combine a full-time paid job, even without going to the office with a child, and even more so with several. Therefore, it is worth deciding whether they have enough psychological, time and financial resources to cope without the support of a kindergarten. Which of the “basic development kit” should be organized for the child at home? ⁃ Communication in a team. Closer to the age of three, most children become so interested in the company of their peers and the opportunity to play with them, and this is such an important factor in their development, that it will be necessary to provide children with regular opportunities to develop communication skills. This task will be helped by the company of your friends and girlfriends with children, the playground in the yard with its regular conflicts and attempts to resolve them. The fact that children on the playground are of different ages and from very different families gives the child the opportunity to get in touch with real life, but with the support of a loved one. ⁃ Communication with adults outside the family. In kindergarten, the child gradually begins to understand that there are adults besides parents who have to be heard and listened to. They can take care of you and teach you new things while your parents are busy, but you cannot immediately get support from your parents in difficult situations for you. That is, the child learns to accept the rules of interaction in the social environment, to cope independently for some time with difficult emotional situations before the appearance of parents. This task can be taken on by those adults to whom you are ready to entrust the child: grandmothers, nannies, your friends, teachers in developmental classes. ⁃ Intellectual and physical development. Here it must be admitted that many mothers can provide much better conditions for the development of the child than the average kindergarten. If only because the kindergarten is designed for the average child, that is, it does not take into account his individual abilities and characteristics. If a child spends a lot of time with relatives in conversations, takes part in household chores, then knowledge about many areas of life is acquired without long and forced sitting at a desk. Of course, if he is left to himself all day long, busy mainly with gadgets, then any state kindergarten will give odds to such home education. The minimum set of modeling, drawing, construction, self-service, music lessons and physical education is included in the program of an ordinary kindergarten. Consider how you can provide this at home. ⁃ Life on schedule. For most children, life according to an understandable schedule is the path to a stable mental state and understanding of the world order. Kindergarten provides this automatically; it is more difficult to organize this at home, especially for parents who are used to living in accordance with today’s mood and not adhering to a stable schedule for themselves. You can live with a pet child according to any schedule, if it suits all the inhabitants of the house, but it is better to have one, at least an approximate one. The schedule may well not be strictly tied to hours and minutes, but at least to a sequence of actions: after waking up, we always wash our faces, then have breakfast, then walk or draw. Children love sequences and rituals, and if parents take this fact into account, then many things will happen without the undue stress that is created by having to strictly fall into the schedule. How do you prepare for school? There are no mandatory competencies that a child must have before entering school, but there are unspoken ones: they will help you more easily adapt to the next stage of development, if, of course, you plan to send him to school, and not continue home schooling (now this is also no one not surprising). It is these unspoken competencies that parents need to focus on in order to assess whether everything is moving in the right pace and direction. What are these knowledge and skills? 1. Knowledge about your family: name, surname, family composition, who is related to whom, what parents do, address and at least one telephone number. 2. Time and space. Seasons and months, orientation in hours with hands and in the schedule of the day. Left-right, top-down, shapes of objects and their colors. 3. Basic safety rules. Do not leave alone or with strangers, know the rules of pedestrian behavior, etc. 4. Communication skills. Ability to interact with children and adults, work in a team with other children, present the result. 5. Speak and know the alphabet. It is not required to be able to read before school, but it is easier for children who read to adapt. Understand simple text and express it in your own words. 6. Count. This does not mean just pronouncing the count to 100 or 1000 – this is to be able to count the number of objects or people, to understand “less” and “more”, to have an elementary idea of ​​​​fractions: half an apple, its quarter. 7. General development. Ability to use simple objects, cut with scissors and use glue, put things in place, follow verbal instructions, etc. This is a short but basic list of preschooler competencies. Are there any skills that must be acquired in kindergarten? Absolutely not. Therefore, whether to send the child to kindergarten or leave him at home until school or beyond, each family decides based on its own resources and the characteristics and abilities of the child that he discovered. There are no perfect and only right solutions. Questions on the adaptation of a “non-Sadov” child in school are no more difficult to solve than those who went to kindergarten, if the parents took care of the aspects that we discussed above.

Then we go to you! “When a home kindergarten opened in our area, not only me, but many other mothers breathed a sigh of relief,” says Svetlana, mother of three-year-old Alina. – I was forced to go to work when my daughter was two years old, a retired neighbor volunteered to “look after” her for a small fee. Of course, I had no complaints about her – the child was supervised, fed, but my heart sank from the fact that Alina spent almost the whole day watching cartoons, did not communicate much with her peers, did not attend developmental classes. Now she only chirps about what plants she and her teacher grow on the windowsill, in which games Alina turns out to be more agile than other children, or what thematic lesson she remembers more than others. Why do we need a home kindergarten? Almost all parents apply to place their child on the waiting list for preschool immediately after receiving his birth certificate. Some mothers, especially concerned that their child will not get a place in a particular institution, agree with the head long before the birth of the baby himself, the price of the issue sometimes reaches the six-month payment for a private kindergarten. But despite these measures, queues for municipal kindergartens are as long today as they were in Soviet times for an apartment or a car. What to do if a place in a preschool educational institution should appear only by the age of four, and the maternity leave of the mother is paid only up to one and a half years of her child? In such a situation, child care centers or home kindergartens come to the rescue. Sometimes home kindergartens are founded by enthusiastic parents to collectively solve the problem of organizing leisure time for their beloved child. Often, educators for children act in turn, united mothers. A vivid example of this is the story of Irina Vyazemskaya, who not so long ago opened a kindergarten (or rather, it should be called a children’s leisure center) at her home. The idea of ​​creating a home leisure center came to Irina not as a kind of business idea, but rather as a salvation. Irina is a teacher by education, a single mother raising a 2-year-old son. “I, like many mothers, faced the problem of placing a child in a state kindergarten,” says Ira. – Paid maternity leave was coming to an end, and there was no question of going to work: I had no one to leave Mishenka with, my mother worked 5 days a week herself. In order to carve out at least some free time and devote it to work, I came up with the following scheme. Having agreed with my friends who have children of the same age as Misha, I suggested that they take turns looking after our children, for example, today from 10 am to 1 pm all the children play at Olya’s house, tomorrow at Masha’s, and the day after tomorrow at mine. Gradually, I became so involved in the work of a teacher (my pedagogical education came in handy) that I decided to arrange a mini-leisure center for children. Irina converted one of the rooms in her apartment into a playroom, purchased educational aids for children, and prepared play sessions for children. The first visitors to such a play center were the children of the same friends, but Irina was looking after them for more than a fee. Now there are 5 guys in the group in the first half of the day and 3 in the afternoon. Recently, this type of home kindergarten, created by amateurs, has been replaced by commercial ones. Such a kindergarten is distinguished by the level of training of educators and the presence of a unique offer. This can be teaching kids according to a popular developmental methodology (many creative centers work according to the methodology Maria Montessori , system Glen Doman , teach reading using Zaitsev’s cubes or the Cecile Lupan method), the availability of a special menu for children eating on a special diet. Most often, a home kindergarten is a two- or three-room apartment that meets all the requirements of young visitors. There are: a game room, a bedroom, a kitchen where the guys eat at a large common table, like at home. In home kindergartens, there are also specially equipped sports corners with a wall bar, a horizontal bar, and large gymnastic balls. If a kindergarten is located in a private house, then, as a rule, it has its own playground. The composition of the group usually consists of three to ten people. For each of them, educators promise to find an individual approach, which will help to maximize the development of the child’s innate talents. You have decided to open a home kindergarten, weigh all the pros and cons! Such a form of employment of children as a home kindergarten in our country is still a novelty, it is not as widespread as, for example, in the United States, but it already has its supporters. As you know, demand creates supply, and this gives confidence that home gardens will take root beneficially on our soil. Opening your own home kindergarten is a great idea not only for parents who dream of a permanent income “without leaving home”, but also for private entrepreneurs who plan to try their hand at a new business area. What are the benefits of opening a home kindergarten: Your own child is supervised, you have the opportunity to choose educators for him and a good company of children, you will be sure that he receives quality food. This is a demanded and profitable activity with relatively low costs and low risks. You will have the opportunity to prove yourself as a private entrepreneur, director, manager, educator, learn time management, and therefore grow professionally. Formally, in order to open a home kindergarten, or rather a child care center, you only need a work permit and contracts with parents. Home kindergarten is an excellent alternative to public and private kindergartens, but this business has its own nuances that should be considered in advance. For example: lack of own playground. Most often, children are either indoors or taken out for a walk in the nearest park or square; subject to renting a room (if you do not own an apartment that can be converted), the very next day a crowd of disgruntled neighbors may appear at your doorstep complaining about the noise. However, if you are a sociable person, then solve this problem in no time; you cannot suddenly fall ill or go on vacation for a long time. The issue with your replacement should be decided in advance. The organization of the upbringing and leisure of children is not an easy task, requiring the investment of considerable effort and imagination. Therefore, it will be especially pleasant when your undertaking will be fully realized and will benefit not only you, but also your little visitors. Good luck! You can learn how to prepare for the opening from the following article. Alisa Ivannikova pluses and minuses, prices in private kindergartens, from what age do they start in Ukraine in 2022 At what age to give the baby to the kindergarten, each parent must decide individually. However, there are certain recommendations of experts that carry the message: “The later – the better.” For a one and a half year old baby (namely, from this age some kindergartens accept children), mother is the center of the universe. And wherever the child spends time, with whomever he plays and communicates, he needs to feel her constant presence. Giving a garden to a baby at this age is not the right decision, and it can only be due to extreme necessity. Those parents who believe that they will “get used to it faster” simply do not know that the child will only come to terms with the inevitable circumstances. And yet, it will endure stress, which subsequently, for sure, will affect the emotional state and physical health of the child. For a two-year-old child, the process of psychological adaptation in the garden can already be much milder. After all, firstly, it will be easier for him to “let go” of his mother, and secondly, the baby will acquire the necessary independence skills. Thirdly, if the staff of the garden is really professional, and the kid is sociable, then he may like it in the garden and he will easily enter the children’s team. However, the child is still quite small, and if the baby’s adaptation to the nursery is problematic, then it is worth postponing their visit. When the child is 3-3.5 years old, it is already possible to start getting acquainted with the kindergarten. Now the baby understands that playing with peers is very fun and entertaining, and it can be interesting not only next to mom. But if something goes wrong at the age of three, attempts to introduce the child into the team should be postponed until the age of four – it is what experts call ideal for starting kindergarten. Where is the best place? Whatever a mother chooses for her child – attendance at a nursery or home education – she should know that any of the options can have its own advantages and disadvantages. Benefits of kindergarten: In kindergarten, a child spends a lot of time with his peers – he learns to build relationships, communicate, make friends, share and help. There, the child can feel part of the team. In other words, he goes through a mandatory period of socialization. Kindergarten is, of course, a regime and discipline, the observance of which will positively affect the health and upbringing of the child. In the garden, the baby, looking at other children, will learn to be more independent. However, parents also need to prepare their child for kindergarten: eat, dress and use the potty on their own. Kindergarten works according to a special program for the intellectual and physical development of the child, which provides for his versatile development. In the garden, kids are required to participate in the preparation and holding of various holidays and matinees, which will help develop the creative abilities of children. Bonus for mom – a few hours of free time for herself while the child is in the garden. Disadvantages of kindergarten: Usually a kindergarten group has more than 20 children, sometimes even 30. And there is only one teacher. And no matter how conscientiously he does his job, he is not able to keep track of all the children at the same time. If the group is large, there is no guarantee that the child will fully master the necessary knowledge and skills provided for by the educational program of the kindergarten. Nutrition in kindergarten cannot be compared with home. Starting to attend kindergarten, children get sick quite often, and not only with colds, but they can bring home a worse infection. In addition, in the team, childhood diseases (chickenpox, whooping cough, rubella) go in circles and, as a rule, end in quarantine. Advantages of home education: A home child is always supervised, so the mother has the opportunity to provide him with constant and high-quality care and care. Daily activities with the baby will bring incomparably more benefits than similar ones in the garden. At home, the child’s diet is entirely under the mother’s control. Lack of contact with sick children, who will definitely be in the kindergarten group, will have a positive effect on the health of the crumbs. The most important point: not a single, even the best educator, will provide the amount of warmth, attention and care that a baby needs. Only a mother can give it. Having received such valuable baggage in early childhood, the child will be emotionally more stable, open to communication and self-confident. Disadvantages of home education: The most important and difficult task for a mother is to ensure that her child communicates with peers in the right amount. Playgrounds, playrooms, various mugs for kids will help her. A mother may not always be able to devote the right amount of time to her child due to household chores. However, it is important to remember that the mother’s profession is the most important. Any options? A mother who has decided to work with a child at home should know that this process requires thorough preparation and consistency. Whichever of the developing methods the mother stops at, it is important to remember that she will need to devote time to the development of the baby’s speech, exercises for fine motor skills, creative activities, and also mastering the basics of mathematics. Today children’s development centers come to the aid of mother. In addition to all of the above, they offer early development classes for children up to a year old, foreign language, music and dance lessons, art therapy, and hold various holidays. In addition, visiting such a center, the baby is in the team. Some toddlers may benefit from a part-time group. This service is provided by development centers and private gardens. In addition to classes, such a group may include a walk and lunch. Public or private nurseries? Of course, a full-fledged nursery means care, supervision, and development. But one cannot count on an individual approach to a child in state nurseries – there are too many children per caregiver. In a private kindergarten, groups are much smaller from 5 (home kindergarten) to 20 children maximum, but usually up to 10-15 people. This allows the caregiver to devote more time to the individual child. In addition, in a group with a smaller number of immune adaptation in a child will be easier. Private kindergarten teachers are not just people from the street, as is sometimes the case in state institutions. These are professionals with experience who love and appreciate their work. Private gardens in Kyiv are usually established on the basis of state ones, and even their food can be the same. As in public kindergartens, private children are accepted from 1.5-2 years old. Opening hours are mainly from 8.00 to 19.00, sometimes – until 20.00-21.00. The curriculum in the public garden usually consists of a classic set of classes. And only recently has it become possible to supplement them with various exciting courses for a fee – logic, creativity, a foreign language, dance, etc. In a private garden, the program initially consists of a large list of various special courses and may include elements of a particular development methodology. The material base, grounds and the territory itself in a private garden will be much better than in a public one. But with all its advantages, not everyone can afford teaching a baby in a private kindergarten. That is why, the services of such an institution are used by people of a certain social level. How to open a kindergarten: step-by-step instructions for a startup How much does a private kindergarten cost? If we are talking about a public kindergarten, then, in addition to the monthly receipt for paying for food, parents must be prepared for regular contributions. This is the fund of the group and kindergarten, fees for repairs, the purchase of new furniture / tulle / bed linen, various holidays. In addition, do not forget about the “charitable” entrance fee. In a private kindergarten, the relationship between its management and the child’s parents is contractual, all amounts are specified in the documents.

This kindergarten was fourth or fifth on my list, and I didn’t even look further. Elena won me over right away, because she started the conversation with questions about the child: what is the name of your girl? What does she love? What doesn’t he love? What games does he play? Does she like to play with other guys? Oh, it’s great that you have such an active! And then she invited us to come and get acquainted, to look at each other. This felt a sincere interest in the child and love for his work, while the rest immediately reported how much they would have to pay, and at the same time they were not at all interested in the child. Ulyasha liked the “Brother Rabbits” right away. And for me, the absence of the usual kindergarten violence was decisive: your child does not sleep during the day – well, you don’t have to, no one will put him to bed, there will always be something to do, or you can go for a walk. And food will not be forcibly stuffed, they try to take into account the habits of everyone. I specifically asked my daughter: why do you love your kindergarten? She wrote down the answer: “I love kindergarten, because there are wonderful teachers (well, this is already a school word), there are good guys. I like to have breakfast and lunch there, because they distribute food there, whoever wants what. There are many more toys. And I especially like the turnstile (this, apparently, is a sports complex)). Preparing for school was also great: Ulya learned to read and write in block letters in the garden, count up to 100 and beyond, perform simple arithmetic operations, Aunt Lena also taught them English. In any case, we didn’t take the child anywhere else before school – what she received in the kindergarten was enough for her. And what crafts and applications they did! And New Year’s holidays were cheerful. In general, my daughter from kindergarten (and she is already in the second grade) is still very bored and often remembers, and if we meet Aunt Lena or Aunt Olya on the street, she runs to hug them and tell excitedly her school news. She was very good! Thank you very much for that)) Sophia Arendt, mother of Vera We sent our daughter to kindergarten when she was not even three years old. I urgently needed to go to work, we could not afford a full-time nanny, and we did not dare to send such a small child to a state kindergarten. My husband and I still have memories of kindergartens that we went to as children, our children want something different. In addition, at such a young age, only GKP is offered to a child in state gardens, and this is an insignificantly small number of hours, it is absolutely impossible to combine this with work. Well, the main point. For us, the most important thing was to find a teacher we would trust. Which will please both us and our daughter. To work calmly and know that at this time our girl is in the safe hands of a responsible, kind and caring adult. That she will not only play with her peers and eat and sleep on time, but a safe environment will be created for her (latches on the windows and the complete absence of elements threatening the life and health of the child in the room) and there will be a kind, stable, calm person next to her, who truly loves children and his work. Our friends have already taken their son to Aunt Lena, and we decided to try. We came to get acquainted. The door was opened by a pleasant young beautiful woman, and somehow everything became clear at once. The daughter smiled, answered a few questions of the teacher, and immediately ran to play in the playroom. For almost 4 years that we have been in the “Rabbit Brethren”, my daughter has never had “kickbacks”. The tantrums that many parents tell about when they send their children to kindergartens, especially at first, I know, can be very difficult. Our daughter is a very sensitive, gentle child, we were afraid that it would be difficult for her to adapt, but all our fears were not confirmed. And it’s great! Now we have to go to school. My daughter reads well, counts well, she has a lot of friends in the garden, and we, of course, will come to visit! Thank you, aunt Lena, it seems that everything turned out quite well) Olga Klysha (mother of Olesya, 5 years old, and Stefan, 3 years old) Olesya and Stefan have been attending kindergarten for three months now. I see that during this time the children there have learned a lot. For example, Olesya often says something in English, and she likes it. By the way, Stefan is also not far behind her. They have made great progress in physical education – they do different things that they did not do before, and all this with pleasure. Olesya often tells me or shows me what exercises she did in the kindergarten. We, as parents, get great pleasure when children bring home various clay crafts. Real masterpieces! I am very glad that much attention is paid to the development of children’s creative abilities in the kindergarten. Stefan also learned to dress himself in kindergarten, which is also a big plus. Olesya also often tells me that she liked some soup or something else in the kindergarten, and she eats a full plate. I am very pleased that they eat well there. In general, I see that the children are in a cozy and warm atmosphere. Ivanenko Elena and Gennady (Zhenya’s parents – 3 years old) We are very glad that we have found a kindergarten that fully meets all our requirements and wishes. We brought Zhenya at the age of three and after two weeks we began to wonder how our son had changed (for the better). He became much more sociable, more organized. The whims that had previously “accompanied” us every day have practically ceased. The child is at home, in a very good team. We like the fact that Lena cooks her own food and they go for walks every day. Zhenya learns in the garden: to sculpt from plasticine, dough, clay; draw with pencils, crayons, gouache, watercolor; make applications; decompose geometric shapes into appropriate shapes, etc. The child sang!!! (Song of Cheburashka). He began to recite poetry, learned to count to ten. At home, he sculpts and draws with pleasure, he learned to play on his own, which we have not seen before. The garden has a very friendly atmosphere and the child is respected as a person. It is indicative for us that the child, coming home in the evening, says: “I want to go to kindergarten!”. Egor Kopylov’s parents (4 years old) We visited many gardens when choosing a place for our son. We liked “Aunt Lena” the most. And all because the most important thing with children is not “where” and “how”, but “who”. Aunt Lena is a very good, intelligent, smart and, most importantly, sincere person. And she is still interested in what she does. A year and a half after we arrived, we decided to help Aunt Lena make a new site so that the form matches the content better. It is unlikely that we would do this if we had even the slightest claim to the kindergarten. Shuman Elena (Georgy’s mother, 4.5 years old) My son attends this kindergarten with great pleasure for almost a year. And he likes it there so much that he looks forward to Monday on the weekend, and this is an indicator. And I fully share his enthusiasm: I am impressed by the individual approach to each child (both in upbringing, and in nutrition, and in education), I like the variety of activities carried out with children, and the friendly atmosphere in the garden pleases me. Many thanks to the teacher Elena for the fact that my son has such a wonderful kindergarten! Lilia Reshetova (Timur’s mother, 6 years old) Kindergarten is the child’s favorite place, by the end of the weekend she is already waiting for Monday and kindergarten. I love the warm family atmosphere. The child began to go to this garden at the age of three, from the very first day he got used to and enjoyed such a new occupation in life. Then we moved, went to another garden, also private – but everything turned out to be bad, to put it mildly. As a result, we returned to our favorite garden, and although we have to spend a lot of time on the road, it’s worth it. I would like to express my deep gratitude for the happy childhood of our boy! This is the great merit of the kindergarten. At the age of 5, school preparation classes began, and at the age of 5 the child counts well, writes and reads, and does all this with joy. Advantages and disadvantages of home kindergarten A problem that 90 out of 100 new parents have to face is the lack of places in district kindergartens, if any, nearby. Some mothers solve this problem almost a few months before the birth of a child: they turn to the heads of municipal kindergartens, agree and stand in line, which, if you’re lucky, will come up in 3 years. But, unfortunately, not all parents are so prudent, it also happens that the end of the decree comes to the father, the young mother needs to go to work, the father also works constantly, and the grandmothers live in another city. What to do then? As they say, demand generates supply, as a result of which private kindergartens began to appear actively, where, for a fee, your little child goes through the basics of education, is always supervised, fed and well-groomed. Usually, private kindergartens even have the necessary set of documents, a license, however, and they are called differently, something like “Child Development Center” or “Early Development School” and so on. Together with them, another alternative to municipal institutions appeared – home kindergartens. Most often, they are organized by the same young mothers who do not work and still sit with their small children. Sometimes this becomes a real lifeline against the backdrop of an endless sea of ​​hopelessness, parents find a way out of a difficult situation, and a young mother looking after your child has the opportunity to earn extra money. Contents 1 What is home day care? 2 Advantages of home kindergartens 3 Disadvantages of home kindergartens What is home kindergarten? Such “institutions”, no matter how strange it may seem to anyone, are really gaining popularity in our country, but in the West this is a completely normal trend that young parents have long been accustomed to and take advantage of with pleasure. How to organize such a phenomenon? Usually the organizers, and, most often, a whole family, have a newly-made kindergarten right in their apartment, usually having at least two rooms becomes a prerequisite. In most cases, the family members themselves act as staff: mom is the educator, dad is in charge of maintenance and delivers products, grandmother, if any, usually cooks. If there are older children in the family, they sometimes act as senior mentors, as a result – a whole family business, which, alas, in most cases exists semi-legally or without any registration at all. Basically, in such kindergartens, the group is quite small, from 3 to 10 children, which, of course, is tempting, because the child is given much more attention than in the usual municipal counterpart. Sometimes home centers are arranged in country cottages, in such premises it is much easier to process documents, and noisy children at that age will not interfere with their neighbors. Of course, although it may be convenient for the organizers themselves, suburban premises do not always suit parents, because driving a child through traffic jams across the city every day is not the most exciting experience. Advantages of home kindergartens One of the main advantages of such organizations is that there is no need to wait in line and age for a child to enter the kindergarten, because a child can be accepted here at almost any age. Due to the small number of children in groups, more attention is paid to each, an individual approach is developed, which is based on the child’s character traits. Thanks to the home environment and the small number of children, a new child quickly adapts to new conditions. Usually, in home kindergartens, the owners, parents, mothers or grandmothers themselves cook, they do not save on food, since this moment is always easy to control. Plus, it’s much easier to create an individual diet if your child requires a certain diet. Usually, only new toys and equipment are purchased from such organizations, in particular, this may be of interest to those parents who are not satisfied with the dilapidated furniture and broken toys of municipal kindergartens. All pupils of home kindergartens, most often, are of different ages, thanks to which the elders can help very young children, and the younger ones develop faster. At Home Nursery, there is no problem with not having any vaccinations, you won’t be reprimanded for absenteeism, and you can always arrange a flexible schedule for attendance if you have a non-standard working day. Home gardens are much cheaper than private gardens. Disadvantages of home kindergartens No matter how good home kindergartens are, there are many important “BUTs” that every parent must consider before entrusting their child to “home” caregivers. Perhaps, precisely because of the impressive list of shortcomings, such organizations will not reach the official level. We must not forget that in most cases the activities of such a club are not licensed in any way, the organizers often do not have any documents at all that would confirm the existence of a home kindergarten. And this means that the safety of your child remains in question: the institution is not controlled or checked by anyone, in the event of some unpleasant incident, you will have nowhere to complain and nothing to rely on to prove your case. Even if you enter into an agreement with the organizers when joining, it will be very difficult to prove anything with its help. It turns out that you leave your child, relying only on the “word of honor” of the educators. No one controls the quality of classes with children, just like the attitude of the educator towards them. Another serious problem of home kindergartens is the lack of nearby territory for daily walks. Most often it happens that children spend the whole day in the apartment or go out for a walk in the yard. The problem also lies in the fact that in an ordinary park or playground it is rather difficult for one adult to keep track of all the children, and, as a result, to ensure their safety. There is usually no qualified doctor in the home garden, and therefore there may be problems with the provision of first aid.

For some time now, parents, grandparents and foster parents around the state have had difficulty finding child care for the children under their roofs.  “There’s a need for care options at all ages,” says Peter Nabozny, director of policy for the Children’s Agenda. A long-term, general decline of the industry, pandemic-driven losses at providers, staffing shortages and the high cost of child care have contributed to the problem. A declining industry Employment in the child care industry has steadily declined nationwide in the last decade. A recent Center for Law and Social Policy report found that child care employment peaked at 631,000 in 2011 and then began to fall. By 2019, the industry had lost 69,000 employees, a drop of 11 percent.  The coronavirus pandemic accelerated the slide. Large numbers of parents kept their kids home, daycare providers were unable to operate while protecting children from infection, and those working in the field sought other positions.   From 2019 to 2020, the number of people employed in child care fell by another 67,000 workers. By February 2022, total employment in the sector was 12.4 percent below the pre-pandemic level. In contrast, overall employment fell only 1.9 percent. As the ranks of child care workers fell nationwide, so did the number of providers. A recent Child Care Aware of America study found that nearly 16,000 daycare centers and licensed family child care programs permanently closed their doors between December 2019 and March 2021.  CCAoA laid part of the blame for closures on the unpredictable attendance of children during the pandemic, the higher cost of operating during the crisis, rising labor costs and razor-thin profit margins.  The local picture The New York State Office of Children and Family Services lists nine basic types of child care programs that are licensed or registered to operate in the state. Each offers a different type of care and is subject to different state regulations. Three types provide most of the child care in Monroe County: family-based, group family and center-based programs. Family-based programs operate out of providers’ homes. “If you’re a family provider … you could have up to eight children in care at a time,” says Jeffrey Pier, CEO of the Child Care Council, which provides training and other assistance to child care providers in Monroe, Livingston and Wayne counties. Jeffrey Pier At the other end of the spectrum, center-based programs are run by dedicated nonprofits or businesses. They also have their own buildings, or spaces within buildings, a much more complex set of government regulations to follow and a higher limit on the number of children in their care.  “You could have up to 300 kids,” Pier says. “It’s a much larger operation.” Monroe County’s child care system has shrunk in recent years.  “We definitely lost spaces over the last two years due to COVID,” Pier says. “A lot of programs closed and a lot of people were having trouble with staffing. ” A recent Child Care Council study found that between March 2020 and May 2021, the number of child care programs operating in the county fell by 20 to 658, he says. During that period, the number of slots those programs offered fell to 23,538, a loss of 1,825 potential openings. That’s nearly 8 percent of the total.  Already under pressure Though that’s a relatively small loss, the local child care industry was already under a strain. A New York State Council on Children and Families map shows that most of the Finger Lakes region’s census tracts are “child care deserts”—meaning there are more than three children under the age of five for every child care slot. Though Monroe County has fared better than its neighbors, substantial portions of the county suffer from a similar deficit.   Those who have children 5 years old and older may not fare any better. This year, Monroe County’s schools have 45,821 children in first through sixth grade who could potentially need some form of child care either before or after school. That’s nearly double the number of potential openings that are typically available. CLASP’s report attributes some of the losses of child care workers to the low pay they receive. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage for a child care worker in 2021came to just $13.22 an hour, or $27,497.60 a year—far below $38,266 per year, the average annual living expenses for a single person in America.  Low pay has led some local child care workers to look elsewhere for higher paychecks.  “They’re the most underpaid workforce out there,” Pier says.  A lead teacher in charge of a classroom at a local child care center averages just $15.78 an hour, he notes. Assistant teachers average just $13.86 an hour. Through growing number of strikes across the nation, daycare workers are calling attention to the important role they play in the nation’s economy and demanding better working conditions, including non-poverty level pay. “Most of the … workers every day are saying, ‘I could go to McDonalds and make two to three dollars an hour more, and not have any of the stress,’” Pier says.     According to the nationwide employment site Indeed.com, the pay for an evening-shift crew team member closer at a Rochester McDonald’s restaurant starts at $15 an hour. Other positions can pay as much as $28.95 an hour. Many child care providers may have difficulty paying the kinds of wages that attract new employees, or keep their current ones on the job.  Andrea McKenna of Expressive Beginnings Child Care, which operates three child care centers in the Rochester area, agrees that the work doesn’t pay well.  “It’s extremely rewarding, but it can be challenging,” says McKenna, who runs EBCC’s Greece center. “The pay is not as high as some other positions that you could have that have less responsibility.” While McKenna’s center is fully staffed, she said finding quality workers is becoming a bigger challenge.  That’s because daycare is a very tight-margin business, Nabozny says. Those at the lower end of the profit margin scale might not be able to pay wages that attract and retain staff while keeping tuition down.   “If we want to raise wages for staff, we have to increase tuition,” McKenna says. In recent years, EBCC has done just that, primarily because of increases in the minimum wage. “We’ve averaged, in the past six years, a 3 percent increase every year,” McKenna says. “I think we’ve kept our increases lower than typical.” From 2016 to 2021, the minimum wage rose from $9.70 to $13.20 an hour outside of New York City, Long Island and Westchester County, a more than 36 percent increase. Higher tuition could squeeze parents who are already straining to pay for their children’s care. Using data from 2019, CCAoA determined that the average annual cost of child care in the U.S. came to as much as $9,600 per child. That is 11 percent of a married couple’s income and 34 percent of the income of a single parent. Figures regarding the local cost of child care are difficult to come by, but OCFS data sheds some light.  Every three years, OCFS surveys a representative sample of providers asking how much they charge for care. It then uses those figures to calculate child care subsidies in different parts of the state. Monroe County and eight other counties fall into what OCFS has designated as Group 2. Nabozny says he obtained the raw data from OCFS’s 2018 survey, the last one conducted. Using those figures, he determined that the median cost of sending a child to a Group 2 child care center that year ranged from $200 a week for a school-age child to $259 for an infant. Based on those figures, the cost of daycare for a school-age child could come to $10,400 a year. Rochester residents with the city’s median income of $37,395 could end up paying almost 28 percent of that amount to a child care provider, absent of government financial assistance. County residents who are seeking help with daycare costs can apply to the Monroe County Department of Human Services for subsidies. Under the OCFS guidelines, eligible working families can receive $175 to $280 per week toward the cost of daycare, depending on the age of the child and type of care needed.   Families must meet income standards to qualify for the subsidies. In February, the state raised the income eligibility level from the previous 200 percent of the federal poverty level to 300 percent. “A family of four making less than $83,250 now qualifies on the basis of income for assistance for child care,” Nabozny says. Last December, Monroe County projected that an average 7,211 children would receive child care subsidies per month in 2022. Nabozny could not say how many more families in the county could receive subsidies under the new income standard.  Financial aid Local daycare providers have also received help from the state to get through this difficult time. Last July, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration offered $1.1 billion in child care stabilization grants to eligible providers. The money could be used to cover rent or mortgages, employees’ salaries or other approved purposes.  OCFS administered the grants, which were financed by the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Coronoavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act. Before the application period ran out in November, 15,000 providers around the state received a total of $900 million in financial assistance.  Peter Nabozny Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration followed up the original aid package with another $343 million in stabilization grants that should be welcome to providers.  “There’s still some providers that are struggling with full enrollment, or program closures (due to) COVID, and the added costs associated with the pandemic,” Nabozny says. In addition, the Hochul administration has offered Child Care Deserts Grants totaling $100 million to providers in parts of the state with a child care shortage.  Of that total, $70 million is earmarked for newly licensed programs to cover startup costs, recruit and pay their staffs, and pay other expenses. The remainder will go to existing providers who wish to expand their operations. ARPA funds fuel the grant program. EBCC devoted much of the money it received from the first pool of stabilization funds to staff raises.    “We gave wage increases across the board to our lead teachers so that they could be well above minimum wage,” McKenna says. “Then, we did the same with our assistant teachers.” More to be done However, stabilization grants are not a long-term answer to the rising cost of child care, Pier says. “The only thing that’s going to make that (positive) change is if there’s a permanent change in the law, universal health care, a change in the market rate,” he says. “There could be a higher subsidy rate to kind of offset those additional costs.” Some of those changes could come to pass. Hochul has pledged to invest a total of $7 billion in New York’s child care industry over the next four years.  Gant has a busy work schedule and has struggled to obtain child care for her grandchildren. She teaches high school full-time, coaches sports after school, teaches or takes educational courses during the summer and volunteers hours advocating for prison reform. She’s the legal guardian of a toddler, a 7-year-old and an 8-year-old. “I’m essentially being a single grandma,” she says.  The youngest needs to be in child care throughout the day, while the older kids require care before and after school.  When she took in the children about a year ago, Gant applied to the Monroe County Department of Human Services for aid but was denied the assistance. “They said I didn’t have a need for child care because the kids go to Brockport Central Schools and I work for Brockport Central Schools,” she says.  Gant pointed out to her DHS worker that the different schedules of Brockport’s elementary and high schools force her to leave home before her older grandkids head off to classes. Then, she had to show that the older children needed after-school care. “I had to provide proof that I coach, and needed those after-school hours,” Gant says. DHS spent about 50 days making up its mind while Gant paid for child care out-of-pocket.   “That was quite a process with that, and stressful,” she says. The county reimbursed Gant for her child care costs. It now covers 100 percent of her grandchildren’s time at a local daycare center, though she does have to cover a weekly $25 fee. “If I were to pay out-of-pocket, there’s no way I could afford that,” Gant says. If she could change the local child care system, Gant would open it up. “I would give more access to child care,” she says. “We need to open up daycare centers that can service families that work off hours, that work in the evenings, that work overnight.”  Mike Costanza is a Rochester Beacon contributing writer.

Families First of Minnesota- emergency child care  At one time or another, most families experience stress that can feel overwhelming… financial difficulties, serious illness, strained relationships, divorce, or loss of a loved one. During such times, providing children with the care and attention they need may be difficult. Most families who use Crisis Nursery services are ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. In times of stress, most turn to family, friends, or co-workers to help us through troubled waters. But, for many – single parents, isolated families, families new to the area, and people without resources — there is no safe haven. Crisis Nursery service is a family support program that provides temporary, short-term care for children, while families address the crisis situation. Care may be arranged for daytime hours or for overnight care.

Classes typically run September – December and January – April, and an abbreviated summer schedule in May and June. The parent/child classes are typically offered Monday – Saturday with morning, afternoon, evening, and online choices. These fun parent/child classes (including PAIIR Readiness Preschool – see listing below in PRESCHOOL), are taught by licensed parent educators and early childhood teachers who work directly with parents and their young children. A sliding fee scale and financial assistance available. No family is turned away due to inability to pay. Please note that the flip side of the PAIIR registration booklet is the Community Education Preschool registration booklet. SCHOOL READINESS RESOURCES The Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides one book each month to children in Olmsted County from birth to age 5 whose parents register to receive them. All children in Olmsted County are eligible to participate in the program. These sturdy, colorful, age-appropriate books are delivered directly to the child. Each book is selected for the developmental benefits it brings – and for the fun. There is no cost to the family. The Reading Center’s BEFORE (Becoming a Family of Readers) Program assesses children ages 4 to 6 for potential reading concerns. Ask them about the possibility of a free assessment through the Rochester Scottish Rite Children’s Foundation and Southern Minnesota Initiatives Foundation grant. HEALTH SERVICES Olmsted County Public Health Services provides a number of services including immunizations, child and teen checkup clinics, the WIC Program, Follow Along Program, pregnancy and parenting home visits, and services to children with special needs. Olmsted County’s Follow Along Program is offered to families with children ages birth to 36 months. Staff visit with families and provide information related to the child’s health and development: growing, playing, talking, moving, and behavior. Concerns will be addressed by a nurse or other professional from the program. Together, you can talk about choices for further evaluation or early help services. After your child is 36 months old, you will get information about the next step, Early Childhood Screening. There is no cost to participate in the Follow Along Program. FAMILY-FRIENDLY VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES The United Way of Olmsted County’s Volunteer Center provides easy access to a wide range of volunteer opportunities at nonprofit agencies and local government and educational agencies. Their searchable online database features hundreds of local volunteer opportunities. Families can search for volunteer opportunities by agency name, group size, issue area, zip code, ongoing or one-time opportunities, or holiday opportunities. Families can also search for volunteer opportunities based on the age of their younger family members. PARENT GROUPS Check out our Parent Groups webpage page for information on local support groups that provide support to parents of all ages and stages: single parents, parents of children with disabilities, parents of children with medical conditions, parents of preschoolers, parents of tweens and teenagers, parents of multiples, parents who are new to town, parents who are new to parenting, grandparents who are parenting, parents who are looking to get physically fit, and more.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CHECK-IN/SCREENING Is your little one a preschooler (ages 3-5)? Then it’s time for their Early Childhood Check-In/Screening — the State of Minnesota requires all children to complete a screening before entering a public kindergarten program. The free screening of your child’s growth and development is provided by the Rochester School District. The best time to schedule your child’s check-in is when he or she turns 3 years old. The tasks you child will be asked to complete are age appropriate — just as your child grows and changes with age, so will the tasks he or she will complete at check-in. The check-In will not be easier because your child is older. Early Childhood Check-In gives parents an opportunity to see how their child is developing and connects families with community resources and services. To schedule a screening call 328-4004. PRESCHOOLS So you’re baby isn’t such a little baby any more. And maybe you’re starting to think about preschools. But where to start? First, contact Families First of Minnesota for a personalized list of preschools and/or centers that meet your family’s preferences or locations needs. You will get their name, address, phone numbers, hours of operation, ages served and other interesting information about each one. Second, ask your friends, family, neighbors where their kids went to preschool and what they liked about the school. Third, make a phone call to the preschools you are interested in. During that phone call you can arrange for a tour, find out the date they will begin to accept registrations (this is important to know as some preschools fill fast), and ask any questions you may have (i.e. potty training/diaper policies, class hours/days, ratio of teachers to kids, staff qualifications, school rules/philosophies, school/teacher accreditations). Many preschools hold their registrations soon after the first of the calendar year and many preschools fill up fast. (Most preschools do offer waiting lists – so if you’re getting a late start on the process don’t stress. Make the phone calls and start the process.) Fourth, if you think you cannot afford preschool, call Families First of Minnesota at 287-2020 and see what options (including School Readiness and Head Start) may be available.

It is important that they are not only comfortable and practical, but also consistent with the overall style of the environment. When it is possible to purchase chairs separately, and not as a set with a table, there are many more options to choose from that meet individual requirements and preferences. And if the functional purpose of different models is the same, then the appearance is distinguished by an enviable variety. According to the type of construction, they can be collapsible or monolithic, folding or adjustable in height. With armrests and footrest for added comfort. Differ in the size of the back and seat. According to the materials used in the manufacture of the frame and upholstery. The best frame materials are wood, metal or plastic. For upholstery – artificial and natural leather, soft, especially pleasant to the touch velor and velvet or durable tapestry with a variety of decors. Not only the appearance of the chairs depends on the quality of the upholstery, but also the level of comfort when sitting. Kitchen chairs Chairs for a small kitchen are usually chosen based on their practicality and convenience. The most practical are hard chairs, they are easy to clean and durable. More comfortable – with soft upholstery that is easy to clean. Alternatively, look at transparent chairs. They are distinguished by a durable and stable construction made of polycarbonate, and the original look will add lightness and weightlessness to the interior of the kitchen. Dining room chairs In a dining room with a dedicated dining area, chairs are not only an everyday item, but also a stylish decoration. Lots of options. Wooden chairs in a classic style or upholstered chairs with a backrest of different heights. Unusual design chairs in a modern style, for example, with metal legs, a plastic seat or a flexible frame. The seats are hard, made of wood or rattan, semi-soft with upholstery, and as comfortable as possible with thicker upholstery and even with springs. Bar stools You can’t do without them when the kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar. With a backrest or in the form of a stool, with a footrest for comfortable positioning of the legs.

Mr. Rochester – Russian-speaking community of fans of the Bronte sisters, in particular, the novel “Jane Eyre” – LJ November 11, 2007 lian4ikus 01:33 am – Mr. Rochester Dear members of the community, I think that the following topic will leave few people indifferent for discussion. I would like to talk about Mr. Rochester. What do you like about it? What – do not like? In my opinion, he is a very difficult character to discuss. He has a difficult character. What would it be like to have such a brother? And the father? Neighbor? Honestly, I always felt a little sorry for Adele, because she did not receive from him the caress that every girl needs from adult males. And for some reason it seems to me that even though Rochester softened when fate gave him Jen, he already got into the habit of definitely treating this girl, and his behavior with her did not change dramatically. And if you dream up and look a little into the future, then I see how Adele is watching him and his children. After all, for sure he will love his children from Jen with sincere fatherly love. And in this situation, as much as I love Mr. Rochester with all his shortcomings, I cannot justify him in any way. My reflections on this topic always end in the same way: with the hope that he will nevertheless become more sensitive to her. I was also offended by his proposal to Jen to become his mistress. But here the justification comes naturally: not many in such a situation will not be blinded. And if he hadn’t even tried to stop Jen, if he hadn’t told her all this with such passion, he wouldn’t be him. It happens like this: a person has a flaw, but if he didn’t have it, then the image of this person would be somehow dull, something would be very much missing. And here is just such a case. It is strange in life, everything is so intertwined that unweaving this tangle is tantamount to death – in this case, the death of the image. No matter how you twist this scene, no matter how you rewrite it in your imagination, Mr. Rochester could not act differently, because it was he who was in his place. But in spite of all this, I still like this heaviness of his character. I like that he lives the way he sees fit. What is not embarrassed when his positions are contrary to universal concepts. That he stands firm when he feels he is doing what he should be doing. That she is not shy about dressing up as a dirty gypsy 🙂 And of course, she likes it for the subtlety of feelings. For not daring to keep Jen when she turned him down. And certainly for that inner strength that did not leave him for a moment – even when Jen began to tell him, a blind cripple, that a handsome blue-eyed man with a Greek profile was seeking her 🙂 He reminds me a little of the Count of Monte Cristo. Probably, with his inner closeness to the public, at the same time knowing how to manipulate others when necessary. And a rich inner world, which he is ready to share with loved ones. And yet, when I read “Jen Eyre” for the first time, I simultaneously got acquainted with the work of the group “Aria”. Their song “Take My Heart” was so closely intertwined with the image of Mr. Rochester that it remained in my imagination as his theme. Mr. I also like Rochester with its shortcomings. it is true that by removing his shortcomings we will get anyone, but no longer mr. Rochester. as a child, when I was reading I heard the translation of Joe Dassin’s song “a toi” (if I spelled it right). in Russian “to you”. my friend and I thought it was about Jane and Rochester. (Reply) (Thread) Ey And, in my opinion, it was especially noble of Rochester, to take on the upbringing of a child for whom he did not have warm feelings … I think, under the influence of Jane Adele, she grew up to be a very good person. Moreover, I think that the girl did not really understand that Rochester did not treat her too well, unlike smart Jane, who perfectly felt and realized that Aunt Reed and her whole family could not stand her. Yes, blindness opened up a new world for Rochester. To some extent, having become blind, he received his sight. He really has matured! In the end, he believed in God. He recognized the one whom he rejected, and happiness came to him …..

Alas, I could not answer earlier, because I did not live at home, and there were problems with the computer. Mr. Rochester, for all his faults, is one of my favorite male characters. If not the most favorite 🙂 He certainly has a disgusting character. You can’t imagine worse. But he has a wonderful soul. There is nothing in his soul for which he could be condemned. It is in the soul, in that depth that does not depend on character, experience, etc. He is able to love, after all that he has experienced, and this is wonderful. He is ready to love truly, ready to love not selfishly. That’s the whole point, he didn’t convince Jane to become his mistress. Only from her lips we hear, or rather, we read this word: “lover”. For him, marriage to her and life with her would be the most sacred union. He doesn’t understand Jane, her principles that drive her. Only later does he begin to realize why she ran away…. As for his attitude towards Adele, here I agree, he is absolutely wrong. After all, the child is not to blame for the sins of his parents. But after all, Rochester did not have his own children, and he never naturally could experience the feelings that he experienced in relation to Adele Jane, because she, after all, had a maternal instinct. I think Rochester simply could not understand all this, but then, when his children were born with Jane, he began to relate to Adele differently. And above all because Jane herself could not treat the girl badly.
