IN DALLAS – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas
GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S SPEAK
over 400 business leaders. The Governor outlined how he will work with members of the Texas Legislature to ensure that a robust economic program that promotes growth keeps Texas America’s economic powerhouse.
“The Dallas metropolitan area ranks first in the nation for high-tech job additions thanks to a well-trained workforce, world-class airport, leading research universities and affordable real estate,” Governor Abbott said. “Last year was a big one for Dallas, with a record number of jobs, a record number of Texans working in greater Dallas, and below-state average unemployment. This is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of local business leaders. Today, Texas is America’s economic giant, where entrepreneurs can voice their vision and know they live in a state where they can realize it. In this session, we will work to ensure that Texas remains a land of economic opportunity and prosperity.”
In his remarks, the Governor highlighted the critical policies that will help businesses large and small continue to thrive in our state, from lowering property taxes to developing the workforce and eliminating red tape that slows business growth.
He also discussed the recently announced $100 billion plan to strengthen the state’s transportation infrastructure and efforts to prepare the state’s power grid to meet the growing needs of our growing state.
A SAD END OF THE FORMER VALLEY VIEW MALL
A once-beloved mall in North Dallas is coming to an end as demolition of the former Valley View Mall on the LBJ Freeway and Preston Road began on March 16, ending nearly a decade of downtime.
The mall closed in 2015 and the big renovation plans never came to fruition. The AMC Cinema, the latest tenant, closed in 2021.
After trying to work with property owners, the city of Dallas released a letter in November 2022 demanding the building be demolished by June 1st. The owner of the property began removing the asbestos on 1 December.
But after two fires, the city moved the demolition start date to right now, this minute.
In February, following ongoing criminal activity that led to a series of fires, the Dallas Police Department notified the property owner that the site would be designated as a crime site.
“This demolition is long overdue for our community,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. “As we have seen, the former mall facility has fallen into disrepair and has become a danger to our public security personnel. Dallas deserves secure buildings, a strong international district, and vibrant new development on the site of the former Valley View Mall. This is a big step forward on all fronts.”
District 11 City Councilwoman Janey Schultz said, “With today’s demolition of the remainder of the Valley View Mall, we are turning the page on this long dormant property and safety hazard in our community. We look forward to transforming this area, including within the planned Dallas International District. ”
Final demolition is scheduled to be completed by June 1st.
AT THE ZOO ADD
At the Dallas Zoo, Mlilo the elephant, one of the elephants removed in 2016 from their homeland in Swaziland and imported to three US zoos, one of which was the Dallas Zoo, had a baby elephant. The new elephant is a male, he was born on February 26th. His father Tendaji is also one of the Swazi elephants.
In their post announcing the birth, the zoo boasts that for the first time it was a “herd birth”, meaning they allowed another elephant, Zola – also one of the elephants taken from Swaziland – to be around at the time of the birth “just like it would happen in the wild”.
One might assume this is a positive move for the zoo, which has previously quarantined the mother to give birth in an isolated metal cage, but comparing such births to the wild is a bit too much.
This is the second birth of Mlilo the elephant at the zoo, who unfortunately was already pregnant when she was taken from Swaziland; she gave birth to Ajaba in 2018 (a birth the zoo called a “surprise”)
Baby animals are a welcome addition to zoos. They represent a big financial boost as they increase the number of visitors.
CITY LIFE AND HEALTHY FOOD
The Dallas City Council has adopted a Comprehensive Urban Agriculture Plan (CUAP) to ensure that all communities have access to healthy local food.
Goals include removing regulatory barriers, supporting access to farmland, and providing access to urban agricultural education and resources.
The plan is based on the Comprehensive Environment and Climate Action Plan (CECAP) that the City adopted in May 2020 to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
“By 2050, it is predicted that 89% of the US population and 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas,” says Carlos Evans, director of the Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability. “CUAP is an important step to ensure that all of our communities have access to healthy local food.”
NATIONAL PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT FROM CALIFORNIA TO DALLAS FORT WORTH
As reported by USA Pickleball, the national governing body for pickleball and the Carvana Professional Pickleball Association (PPA Tour) ) are moving the 2023 U. S. National Pickleball Championship from the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, where they have been running since 2018, to the Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch.
The National Championship is the world’s largest pickleball tournament and venue and the 2023 event is expected to be twice the size of 2022 with over 3,500 amateur and professional players playing across 65 courts.
The event will take place from 4 to 12 November and will be presented by the PPA Tour.
PPA CEO Connor Pardow says in a statement that Farmers Branch has beaten other cities in the running for the honor, but he does not name other cities.
“After a competitive bidding process that included bids from several city governments, Dallas and the Dallas Athletic Commission came up with the best combination to take the national championship to the next level,” says Pardow. “In addition, Invited’s Brookhaven Country Club, one of the state’s premier golf and tennis resorts for over six decades and located in the City of Farmers Branch, has been recognized as the perfect venue for an event of this magnitude and prestige. ”
USA Pickleball Chairman Robert Quicksilver says the move to Dallas, which he calls “one of the great cities in the US,” will be more geographically accessible to its membership of more than 70,000.
The organizers have yet to reveal how much prize money will be given out to the professional divisions, other than the fact that it will exceed the 2022 total of $150,000.
The total number of participants in the event is estimated at 25,000 people.
Amateur players will have more opportunities to qualify with the addition of three new pre-championship Golden Ticket tournaments to USA Pickleball:
Selkirk Texas Open, May 31-June 4
Baird Seattle Open, July 27-30
Kansas City Open, August 24-27 9 0005
Meanwhile, an upgrade planned for the championship includes designating the street outside Brookhaven Country Club as “Pickleball Boulevard” to make room for a stage, live music, and family events with sponsors and local businesses.
Food and drink vendors from across Texas will be in attendance for the Taste of Pickle Exhibit, which will give tournament participants the opportunity to sample local cuisine.
Nightly musical performances and interactive events are planned, which the organizers hope will create an unforgettable experience for fans and players.
FAMOUS SHOW IS INVITED
HGTV’s hit show is looking for members: No Demo Reno, a remodeling series hosted by Jenn Todrick, aka The Wandering Redhead, invites homeowners living in north Dallas. Far north.
Todrick is the founder of a very famous blog called Life Like a Stray Redhead which has earned her over 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
‘No Demo Reno’ about how she develops cost-saving ideas to transform homes to keep the original floor plan. The show dismisses demolition as a path to renewal, which means no accidental demolition of walls.
The series debuted in March 2021, followed by a successful second season in 2022. Now it’s been extended for a third round and they’re looking for homeowners in the area, particularly those in Lucas, Fairview, Allen and McKinney, who are eager to remodel their homes.
Requirements for participants:
- Houses in need of cosmetic repairs (3 to 4 rooms).
- Mainly interior spaces: kitchens, main living spaces and other unique spaces.
- Homeowners must have a budget between $85,000 and $150,000.
Also, they need people who are excited to be on TV and who love the idea of Todrik taking over the reins of remodeling their home.
Homeowners must be willing and able to vacate during the renovation, which is expected to take 10 weeks. At the same time, household appliances are not included in the budget.
Apply online or email [email protected] for more information.
Todrick is from Burleson; she and her husband Mike own Armor Coffee in Allen and have three children.
She also wrote a book published in 2017 called W(h)ine: 50 Perfect Wines to Pair with Your Child’s Rotten Behavior, which she says has sold out three times and received 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon with reviews such as: “Warning: you might wet yourself because it’s so funny!!!”
TRUCK YARD REOPENING
Dallas’ Greenville Avenue outdoor meeting point reopened: The backyard Truck Yard, now a must in the food and beverage world, has reopened at 5624 Sears St. , across from Trader Joe’s after a $2 million renovation that includes installation of the famous Tango Frogs sculptures.
The establishment quietly closed in November, and in fact, when it closed, questions about the closure were not answered. Now it is clear that it was temporary. They re-opened on March 10, just in time for the St. Patrick’s Day party.
According to a press release, Truck Yard owner Jason Boso felt it was time for an upgrade.
“While no one likes to shell out money to shell out, we felt a renovation was needed to keep up with demand at our Dallas facility. A first of its kind, we’ve learned a lot over the last decade and have since built other locations to support the type of business we want to continually offer to guests,” Boso says.
Truck Yard, famous for its food trucks, cheese steaks and nachos, and outdoor drinks, first opened in 2013 and is celebrating a decade of operation.
The renovation included functional improvements such as:
- A more year-round weather-friendly concept
- Covered terraces and four fire pits
- Large bar and kitchen at the back of the house for a large number of visitors
- Asphalt access road for food trucks
- New toilets
Hosts have implemented tableside technology so customers can order drinks directly from their phone for delivery.
Also added more truck seating, new furniture, covered space for private events and new cocktails.
And, of course, there are frogs. The six Tango frogs, designed by artist Bob “Daddy-O” Wade, originally graced an 80s nightclub called Tango’s, located at 1827 Greenville Avenue, now home to Starbucks and formerly Taco Cabana.
Three frogs ended up in a truck stop on I-35 in Hillsboro, from where they were retrieved in 2014 by Taco Cabana executives Tim Taft and Todd Courver, who installed them on top of a restaurant with great fanfare. (The other three are at Chuy’s in Nashville.)
When Taco Cabana closed its Greenville Avenue location in 2020, it threatened the frogs’ status. Boso intervened, stating at the time that they would position Tango Frogs so that they could be an Instagram-worthy product and continue to show appreciation for the artwork.
They posted on their Facebook page news about repainting the frogs, as well as a video of the repair.
“They immediately try to make a hockey player out of a child, but he, first of all, must be an athlete”
Why do players have many chronic injuries by the age of 15? Why do parents overload their children? What specialists are lacking in Russian hockey schools? The OFP coach answers.
– What is your job as a coach? – I work at the SKA-Strelna school, which is part of the SKA Academy. This is a fairly young school, she is only seven years old. I am a physical training coach in teams born in 2006, 2007 and 2010. Our guys went to the Championship of Russia among the regions and won tournaments born in 2006 and 2007 as part of the St. Petersburg team. And this is the common merit of our coaches who work with the guys in our school. I conduct all classes that take place on earth. Of course, in the presence of the head coach. Our global tasks are to prepare the guys for graduation to the SKA main team. And, of course, there are tasks for the season – this is to successfully perform at the championship of St. Petersburg and go to the final of the championship of Russia. Also in the off-season we prepare the team at the training camp. In this way, we develop various qualities in the players and keep them in shape in the middle of the season so that they feel stronger, more resilient, more comfortable. – There is an opinion that by the age of 12 many Russian players already have health problems. Is it due to improper physical preparation? – This happens not at the age of 12, but later – at the age of 15-16, closer to graduation from school. By this age, hockey players already have many chronic injuries. This is the result of the fact that often training on the ground is not carried out with specialists and there is a violation of the technique of performing the exercise. In fact, this is a big problem in our hockey. – No GPT coaches? – Many clubs, including children’s clubs, do not want to understand that such specialists are needed. They believe that the head coach can handle it on his own. Plus, there are coaches who believe that they understand everything themselves, and do not let anyone in to prepare the team. But it is impossible for one person to own such a volume of information. We believe that OFP is 50 squats, 50 push-ups, 50 presses, ran 20-30 laps at the stadium and you’re done. But this is fundamentally wrong. Certain exercises should go one after another, plus all workouts should be regulated by load, by quantity. In addition, they seriously differ at different stages of preparation – during competitive time or in the off-season. I see that even parents give their children too much work, and old school coaches think that the harder the better. But this is fundamentally wrong. If we take cyclical sports (skiing, swimming, athletics), then they have a strict load distribution throughout the week. But in hockey, this is impossible – on the ice, the players have different workloads. A big mistake is made by coaches who daily load hockey players in the same mode and, accordingly, do not allow them to recover. Thus, the players are constantly “pressed down”. And the overtraining of hockey players, unlike other athletes, is not so noticeable. Therefore, my task is to differentiate the load and be constantly in touch with the coaching staff. When doing work on the ground, I have to build on what the players were doing on the ice.
– You need to understand what tasks the coach sets when conducting such a training. For example, a weekend cross (recovery) run in the heat – at least 10 km and you have to meet the time. Did not meet – run again. Of course, after this, there can be no talk of any recovery, the players can only be “driven” harder. Therefore, such a training for any hockey player, whether a child or an adult, already causes fear. In any case, in cross-country, you need to start off not from time, but from the pulse. I can offer my players to go for a run at the end of the week, but the pulse will have to be checked every kilometer. I agree that it is better to ride a bicycle in the city, this is a good means of recovery. But few schools have at least ten exercise bikes. – I also heard the opinion that children in hockey schools are put under the bar too early, which is also fraught with health problems. – The problem is not that they start working with the barbell early, but that they technically incorrectly perform any exercises with weights, which eventually lead to sad consequences. At our school, we begin to do this gradually from the age of 14, we teach technique and do not chase weights. Yes, and I am a supporter of working with my own weight as long as possible in order to have maneuvers in preparation in the future. And many parents, by the way, are very afraid when they hear the word “barbell”. But it would be better if they were worried about completely different things. I do not agree with the fact that the barbell can slow growth, and that the horizontal bar can contribute to it. – It is also believed that modern children have become little involved in other sports. Previously, hockey players played handball and basketball well. – Many people talk about the overtraining of today’s children. A hockey player can conduct several training sessions a day – at school, on the skates. – Yes, I see how difficult the daily routine of children is now. Parents get tired of such a schedule. The child wakes up very early and goes to the morning workout or skate. Then he goes to school, and on the way he quickly eats something, trying to finish his homework. Then back to some training. Returns home late. Of course, fatigue accumulates. The child received a load on the main training, and then on the rolling. A parent sees that his son is working and thinks everything is fine. And the child does not have time to recover and gets more and more new load. There is a cumulative effect and the player stops in his development – he starts to get tired, make mistakes. As a result, parents blame the child for not giving his best in games and training. This is because the parents do not understand the subject. For example, a player came to me for training, and we were engaged in strengthening the musculoskeletal system. Such activities are not very energy-consuming and children do not sweat. Parents say: “Why are you dry? Didn’t train or something?”. They do not understand what the load was and what it is for. We have to explain to them that the child worked out qualitatively. There is a stereotype that if you sweat, it means you have trained well. Therefore, parents begin to take their children to one, second, third training so that, relatively speaking, they are “killed” there. Roll-ups are useful if a hockey player, for example, pulls up his technique or skating there, does non-intensive work.
– Is that why so many kids finish hockey by the time they graduate from school or even earlier? – This is one of the reasons. But, in my opinion, the main problem in a small number of leagues. A team is issued – there are 23 or more players. Where should they go? The MHL is such a narrow neck where only a few can squeeze through. And from the MHL, a very small number of players get into adult hockey. There is no university sports, and there are no UHL teams in a large number of regions. There are children of late maturation, and after graduation from school they have nowhere to play in order to get stronger, to show themselves. – The main question is why is this necessary? In hockey, every year they try to get away from fights more and more. Therefore, it is foolish to train them in children. Although this may be only a one-time occurrence. And on an ongoing basis, I do not see any advantages in fights in ammunition.
– Can a child play hockey and go to martial arts at the same time? – I don’t see anything wrong with this, because martial arts often have functional training. Hockey can be combined with other sports, provided that the loads are properly distributed.
– How much in terms of OFP are we lagging behind Canada, the USA? Or maybe we are already catching up with them? – They say that the SKA system has unique conditions. – SKA has good conditions, perhaps the best in the country. Hockey City is a great place to get ready. Our school “SKA-Strelna” has a large playing hall, a choreography hall, a throwing area, ice – a large one and two small ones. I hope there will be a boarding school. Although, for example, the Avangard Academy can also boast of good conditions.
– Why, for example, do many children leave Chelyabinsk for St. Petersburg? – I think because of the high competition. Schools of St. Petersburg participate in the “Breakthrough” tournament, where they play well. Secondly, they create conditions for graduates – they are taken into the SKA-1946, SKA-Varyags system. Thirdly, because of the coaching staff. Although good specialists are everywhere. Fourthly, one of the parents is trying to improve their living conditions by moving to St. Petersburg.
– I am from Chelyabinsk, but I have been living in St. Petersburg for 15 years. I was professionally involved in athletics, but as a child I lived near the Mechel Ice Palace and dreamed of playing hockey, but one of my parents was against it. But still, I have always loved this sport. My two younger brothers play hockey and play in the Traktor system. I constantly trained them in the summer, then I began to work with other children and work at the training camp. I was noticed by one of the coaches of the school, and the director of SKA-Strelna also appreciated my work. Then I received an offer from them and I started my work, the results appeared. – Do you work with professionals too? – In summer – yes. When they are left to their own devices. During the season, I do not have such an opportunity. This year I worked with Mikhail Maltsev, who now plays in New Jersey, with Spartak defender Andrei Zubarev, plus players from the MHL teams SKA-1946, SKA-Varyags, Dynamo St. Petersburg. – What is your personal experience with children? Does she inspire? – This summer I worked with professionals who were preparing for the season.

Day Care Centers SiteMore and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment. There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable. While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.
While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. Different Kinds of Child day Care CentersWhile child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy. Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child. Other Things to Think About One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child. Switching Day Care CentersChoosing Another Child Care Provider So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame. First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place. Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed. Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately. In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it! Child Care Options for Low Income FamiliesOne of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs: Extended Day Program The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52. The Child Care Assistance Program Head Start Child Care Voucher Program A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.

Harris County parents can soon apply to receive free child careWATCH LIVE Welcome, Your Account Log Out
Wednesday, June 7, 2023 EMBED <> More Videos <iframe src=”https://abc13. com/video/embed/?pid=13352219″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe> A Harris County free child care program is set to start, and advocates say it’s needed because child care centers across the state are in crisis. HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Harris County free child care program is set to start in days, and advocates say it couldn’t come at a better time because the child care centers across the state are in crisis. Sending your kid to child care is too much for some parents. “If you want to go to a better place and a better area, it’s going to be $300 and up per child,” Paola Diaz explained. Diaz said child care costs are why she’s at home spending summer days at the library instead of work. “It keeps you from trying to work, or do other stuff around,” Diaz said. “It is hard.” Harris County is looking to help. This month, an Early REACH program starts. The county is using $26 million in federal funds to cover child care costs. If you live in the county, have a kid under age four, and meet the income requirements, you could receive free child care. “There are so many child care deserts around Harris County and we want to provide not only free child care, but high quality child care,” BakerRipley spokesperson Frederick Goodall said. Advocates said this is a statewide problem. Texas Care for Children said a family of four spends nearly $20,000 a year in child care. During the pandemic, the state spent millions on this issue. It’s funding that has dried up. During this past session, advocates lawmakers didn’t do enough to fund child care. “That funding would’ve supported the continuation of stabilization grants that the state launched during the pandemic that were critical to keeping programs open,” Texas Care for Children early learning policy director David Feigen said. Advocates said it’s not only the cost of child care, but workers’ pay. On average, they make $11 an hour. Without assistance, it could cause facilities to close. It’s a problem they say has already caused child care deserts, mainly in low-income communities. “It means they have to find alternative arrangements for their kids and for some kids that means arrangements that are not high quality or children are stuck in front of a television screen rather than getting read to be a teacher and engaging with other kids,” Feigen explained. Without work, parents aren’t spending money. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said Texas loses $9 billion a year in revenue because of parents not working. That’s money that could go to infrastructure, teachers, and other state projects, which is why advocates say programs like the one the county will launch this month are important for us all.

IN DALLAS – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas
GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S SPEAK
over 400 business leaders. The Governor outlined how he will work with members of the Texas Legislature to ensure that a robust economic program that promotes growth keeps Texas America’s economic powerhouse.
“The Dallas metropolitan area ranks first in the nation for high-tech job additions thanks to a well-trained workforce, world-class airport, leading research universities and affordable real estate,” Governor Abbott said. “Last year was a big one for Dallas, with a record number of jobs, a record number of Texans working in greater Dallas, and below-state average unemployment. This is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of local business leaders. Today, Texas is America’s economic giant, where entrepreneurs can voice their vision and know they live in a state where they can realize it. In this session, we will work to ensure that Texas remains a land of economic opportunity and prosperity.”
In his remarks, the Governor highlighted the critical policies that will help businesses large and small continue to thrive in our state, from lowering property taxes to developing the workforce and eliminating red tape that slows business growth.
He also discussed the recently announced $100 billion plan to strengthen the state’s transportation infrastructure and efforts to prepare the state’s power grid to meet the growing needs of our growing state.
A SAD END OF THE FORMER VALLEY VIEW MALL
A once-beloved mall in North Dallas is coming to an end as demolition of the former Valley View Mall on the LBJ Freeway and Preston Road began on March 16, ending nearly a decade of downtime.
The mall closed in 2015 and the big renovation plans never came to fruition. The AMC Cinema, the latest tenant, closed in 2021.
After trying to work with property owners, the city of Dallas released a letter in November 2022 demanding the building be demolished by June 1st. The owner of the property began removing the asbestos on 1 December.
But after two fires, the city moved the demolition start date to right now, this minute.
In February, following ongoing criminal activity that led to a series of fires, the Dallas Police Department notified the property owner that the site would be designated as a crime site.
“This demolition is long overdue for our community,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. “As we have seen, the former mall facility has fallen into disrepair and has become a danger to our public security personnel. Dallas deserves secure buildings, a strong international district, and vibrant new development on the site of the former Valley View Mall. This is a big step forward on all fronts.”
District 11 City Councilwoman Janey Schultz said, “With today’s demolition of the remainder of the Valley View Mall, we are turning the page on this long dormant property and safety hazard in our community. We look forward to transforming this area, including within the planned Dallas International District. ”
Final demolition is scheduled to be completed by June 1st.
AT THE ZOO ADD
At the Dallas Zoo, Mlilo the elephant, one of the elephants removed in 2016 from their homeland in Swaziland and imported to three US zoos, one of which was the Dallas Zoo, had a baby elephant. The new elephant is a male, he was born on February 26th. His father Tendaji is also one of the Swazi elephants.
In their post announcing the birth, the zoo boasts that for the first time it was a “herd birth”, meaning they allowed another elephant, Zola – also one of the elephants taken from Swaziland – to be around at the time of the birth “just like it would happen in the wild”.
One might assume this is a positive move for the zoo, which has previously quarantined the mother to give birth in an isolated metal cage, but comparing such births to the wild is a bit too much.
This is the second birth of Mlilo the elephant at the zoo, who unfortunately was already pregnant when she was taken from Swaziland; she gave birth to Ajaba in 2018 (a birth the zoo called a “surprise”)
Baby animals are a welcome addition to zoos. They represent a big financial boost as they increase the number of visitors.
CITY LIFE AND HEALTHY FOOD
The Dallas City Council has adopted a Comprehensive Urban Agriculture Plan (CUAP) to ensure that all communities have access to healthy local food.
Goals include removing regulatory barriers, supporting access to farmland, and providing access to urban agricultural education and resources.
The plan is based on the Comprehensive Environment and Climate Action Plan (CECAP) that the City adopted in May 2020 to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
“By 2050, it is predicted that 89% of the US population and 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas,” says Carlos Evans, director of the Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability. “CUAP is an important step to ensure that all of our communities have access to healthy local food.”
NATIONAL PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT FROM CALIFORNIA TO DALLAS FORT WORTH

National Pickleball Championship from the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, where they have been running since 2018, to the Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch.
The National Championship is the world’s largest pickleball tournament and venue and the 2023 event is expected to be twice the size of 2022 with over 3,500 amateur and professional players playing across 65 courts.
The event will take place from 4 to 12 November and will be presented by the PPA Tour.
PPA CEO Connor Pardow says in a statement that Farmers Branch has beaten other cities in the running for the honor, but he does not name other cities.
“After a competitive bidding process that included bids from several city governments, Dallas and the Dallas Athletic Commission came up with the best combination to take the national championship to the next level,” says Pardow. “In addition, Invited’s Brookhaven Country Club, one of the state’s premier golf and tennis resorts for over six decades and located in the City of Farmers Branch, has been recognized as the perfect venue for an event of this magnitude and prestige. ”
USA Pickleball Chairman Robert Quicksilver says the move to Dallas, which he calls “one of the great cities in the US,” will be more geographically accessible to its membership of more than 70,000.
The organizers have yet to reveal how much prize money will be given out to the professional divisions, other than the fact that it will exceed the 2022 total of $150,000.
The total number of participants in the event is estimated at 25,000 people.
Amateur players will have more opportunities to qualify with the addition of three new pre-championship Golden Ticket tournaments to USA Pickleball:
Selkirk Texas Open, May 31-June 4
Baird Seattle Open, July 27-30
Kansas City Open, August 24-27 9 0005
Meanwhile, an upgrade planned for the championship includes designating the street outside Brookhaven Country Club as “Pickleball Boulevard” to make room for a stage, live music, and family events with sponsors and local businesses.
Food and drink vendors from across Texas will be in attendance for the Taste of Pickle Exhibit, which will give tournament participants the opportunity to sample local cuisine.
Nightly musical performances and interactive events are planned, which the organizers hope will create an unforgettable experience for fans and players.
FAMOUS SHOW IS INVITED
HGTV’s hit show is looking for members: No Demo Reno, a remodeling series hosted by Jenn Todrick, aka The Wandering Redhead, invites homeowners living in north Dallas. Far north.
Todrick is the founder of a very famous blog called Life Like a Stray Redhead which has earned her over 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
‘No Demo Reno’ about how she develops cost-saving ideas to transform homes to keep the original floor plan. The show dismisses demolition as a path to renewal, which means no accidental demolition of walls.
The series debuted in March 2021, followed by a successful second season in 2022. Now it’s been extended for a third round and they’re looking for homeowners in the area, particularly those in Lucas, Fairview, Allen and McKinney, who are eager to remodel their homes.
Requirements for participants:
- Houses in need of cosmetic repairs (3 to 4 rooms).
- Mainly interior spaces: kitchens, main living spaces and other unique spaces.
- Homeowners must have a budget between $85,000 and $150,000.
Also, they need people who are excited to be on TV and who love the idea of Todrik taking over the reins of remodeling their home.
Homeowners must be willing and able to vacate during the renovation, which is expected to take 10 weeks. At the same time, household appliances are not included in the budget.
Apply online or email [email protected] for more information.
Todrick is from Burleson; she and her husband Mike own Armor Coffee in Allen and have three children.
She also wrote a book published in 2017 called W(h)ine: 50 Perfect Wines to Pair with Your Child’s Rotten Behavior, which she says has sold out three times and received 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon with reviews such as: “Warning: you might wet yourself because it’s so funny!!!”
TRUCK YARD REOPENING
Dallas’ Greenville Avenue outdoor meeting point reopened: The backyard Truck Yard, now a must in the food and beverage world, has reopened at 5624 Sears St. , across from Trader Joe’s after a $2 million renovation that includes installation of the famous Tango Frogs sculptures.
The establishment quietly closed in November, and in fact, when it closed, questions about the closure were not answered. Now it is clear that it was temporary. They re-opened on March 10, just in time for the St. Patrick’s Day party.
According to a press release, Truck Yard owner Jason Boso felt it was time for an upgrade.
“While no one likes to shell out money to shell out, we felt a renovation was needed to keep up with demand at our Dallas facility. A first of its kind, we’ve learned a lot over the last decade and have since built other locations to support the type of business we want to continually offer to guests,” Boso says.
Truck Yard, famous for its food trucks, cheese steaks and nachos, and outdoor drinks, first opened in 2013 and is celebrating a decade of operation.
The renovation included functional improvements such as:
- A more year-round weather-friendly concept
- Covered terraces and four fire pits
- Large bar and kitchen at the back of the house for a large number of visitors
- Asphalt access road for food trucks
- New toilets
Hosts have implemented tableside technology so customers can order drinks directly from their phone for delivery.
Also added more truck seating, new furniture, covered space for private events and new cocktails.
And, of course, there are frogs. The six Tango frogs, designed by artist Bob “Daddy-O” Wade, originally graced an 80s nightclub called Tango’s, located at 1827 Greenville Avenue, now home to Starbucks and formerly Taco Cabana.
Three frogs ended up in a truck stop on I-35 in Hillsboro, from where they were retrieved in 2014 by Taco Cabana executives Tim Taft and Todd Courver, who installed them on top of a restaurant with great fanfare. (The other three are at Chuy’s in Nashville.)
When Taco Cabana closed its Greenville Avenue location in 2020, it threatened the frogs’ status. Boso intervened, stating at the time that they would position Tango Frogs so that they could be an Instagram-worthy product and continue to show appreciation for the artwork.
They posted on their Facebook page news about repainting the frogs, as well as a video of the repair.
“They immediately try to make a hockey player out of a child, but he, first of all, must be an athlete”
Why do players have many chronic injuries by the age of 15? Why do parents overload their children? What specialists are lacking in Russian hockey schools? The OFP coach answers.
– What is your job as a coach? – I work at the SKA-Strelna school, which is part of the SKA Academy. This is a fairly young school, she is only seven years old. I am a physical training coach in teams born in 2006, 2007 and 2010. Our guys went to the Championship of Russia among the regions and won tournaments born in 2006 and 2007 as part of the St. Petersburg team. And this is the common merit of our coaches who work with the guys in our school. I conduct all classes that take place on earth. Of course, in the presence of the head coach. Our global tasks are to prepare the guys for graduation to the SKA main team. And, of course, there are tasks for the season – this is to successfully perform at the championship of St. Petersburg and go to the final of the championship of Russia. Also in the off-season we prepare the team at the training camp. In this way, we develop various qualities in the players and keep them in shape in the middle of the season so that they feel stronger, more resilient, more comfortable. – There is an opinion that by the age of 12 many Russian players already have health problems. Is it due to improper physical preparation? – This happens not at the age of 12, but later – at the age of 15-16, closer to graduation from school. By this age, hockey players already have many chronic injuries. This is the result of the fact that often training on the ground is not carried out with specialists and there is a violation of the technique of performing the exercise. In fact, this is a big problem in our hockey. – No GPT coaches? – Many clubs, including children’s clubs, do not want to understand that such specialists are needed. They believe that the head coach can handle it on his own. Plus, there are coaches who believe that they understand everything themselves, and do not let anyone in to prepare the team. But it is impossible for one person to own such a volume of information. We believe that OFP is 50 squats, 50 push-ups, 50 presses, ran 20-30 laps at the stadium and you’re done. But this is fundamentally wrong. Certain exercises should go one after another, plus all workouts should be regulated by load, by quantity. In addition, they seriously differ at different stages of preparation – during competitive time or in the off-season. I see that even parents give their children too much work, and old school coaches think that the harder the better. But this is fundamentally wrong. If we take cyclical sports (skiing, swimming, athletics), then they have a strict load distribution throughout the week. But in hockey, this is impossible – on the ice, the players have different workloads. A big mistake is made by coaches who daily load hockey players in the same mode and, accordingly, do not allow them to recover. Thus, the players are constantly “pressed down”. And the overtraining of hockey players, unlike other athletes, is not so noticeable. Therefore, my task is to differentiate the load and be constantly in touch with the coaching staff. When doing work on the ground, I have to build on what the players were doing on the ice.
– You need to understand what tasks the coach sets when conducting such a training. For example, a weekend cross (recovery) run in the heat – at least 10 km and you have to meet the time. Did not meet – run again. Of course, after this, there can be no talk of any recovery, the players can only be “driven” harder. Therefore, such a training for any hockey player, whether a child or an adult, already causes fear. In any case, in cross-country, you need to start off not from time, but from the pulse. I can offer my players to go for a run at the end of the week, but the pulse will have to be checked every kilometer. I agree that it is better to ride a bicycle in the city, this is a good means of recovery. But few schools have at least ten exercise bikes. – I also heard the opinion that children in hockey schools are put under the bar too early, which is also fraught with health problems. – The problem is not that they start working with the barbell early, but that they technically incorrectly perform any exercises with weights, which eventually lead to sad consequences. At our school, we begin to do this gradually from the age of 14, we teach technique and do not chase weights. Yes, and I am a supporter of working with my own weight as long as possible in order to have maneuvers in preparation in the future. And many parents, by the way, are very afraid when they hear the word “barbell”. But it would be better if they were worried about completely different things. I do not agree with the fact that the barbell can slow growth, and that the horizontal bar can contribute to it. – It is also believed that modern children have become little involved in other sports. Previously, hockey players played handball and basketball well. – Many people talk about the overtraining of today’s children. A hockey player can conduct several training sessions a day – at school, on the skates. – Yes, I see how difficult the daily routine of children is now. Parents get tired of such a schedule. The child wakes up very early and goes to the morning workout or skate. Then he goes to school, and on the way he quickly eats something, trying to finish his homework. Then back to some training. Returns home late. Of course, fatigue accumulates. The child received a load on the main training, and then on the rolling. A parent sees that his son is working and thinks everything is fine. And the child does not have time to recover and gets more and more new load. There is a cumulative effect and the player stops in his development – he starts to get tired, make mistakes. As a result, parents blame the child for not giving his best in games and training. This is because the parents do not understand the subject. For example, a player came to me for training, and we were engaged in strengthening the musculoskeletal system. Such activities are not very energy-consuming and children do not sweat. Parents say: “Why are you dry? Didn’t train or something?”. They do not understand what the load was and what it is for. We have to explain to them that the child worked out qualitatively. There is a stereotype that if you sweat, it means you have trained well. Therefore, parents begin to take their children to one, second, third training so that, relatively speaking, they are “killed” there. Roll-ups are useful if a hockey player, for example, pulls up his technique or skating there, does non-intensive work.
– Is that why so many kids finish hockey by the time they graduate from school or even earlier? – This is one of the reasons. But, in my opinion, the main problem in a small number of leagues. A team is issued – there are 23 or more players. Where should they go? The MHL is such a narrow neck where only a few can squeeze through. And from the MHL, a very small number of players get into adult hockey. There is no university sports, and there are no UHL teams in a large number of regions. There are children of late maturation, and after graduation from school they have nowhere to play in order to get stronger, to show themselves. – The main question is why is this necessary? In hockey, every year they try to get away from fights more and more. Therefore, it is foolish to train them in children. Although this may be only a one-time occurrence. And on an ongoing basis, I do not see any advantages in fights in ammunition.
– Can a child play hockey and go to martial arts at the same time? – I don’t see anything wrong with this, because martial arts often have functional training. Hockey can be combined with other sports, provided that the loads are properly distributed.
– How much in terms of OFP are we lagging behind Canada, the USA? Or maybe we are already catching up with them? – They say that the SKA system has unique conditions. – SKA has good conditions, perhaps the best in the country. Hockey City is a great place to get ready. Our school “SKA-Strelna” has a large playing hall, a choreography hall, a throwing area, ice – a large one and two small ones. I hope there will be a boarding school. Although, for example, the Avangard Academy can also boast of good conditions.
– Why, for example, do many children leave Chelyabinsk for St. Petersburg? – I think because of the high competition. Schools of St. Petersburg participate in the “Breakthrough” tournament, where they play well. Secondly, they create conditions for graduates – they are taken into the SKA-1946, SKA-Varyags system. Thirdly, because of the coaching staff. Although good specialists are everywhere. Fourthly, one of the parents is trying to improve their living conditions by moving to St. Petersburg.
– I am from Chelyabinsk, but I have been living in St. Petersburg for 15 years. I was professionally involved in athletics, but as a child I lived near the Mechel Ice Palace and dreamed of playing hockey, but one of my parents was against it. But still, I have always loved this sport. My two younger brothers play hockey and play in the Traktor system. I constantly trained them in the summer, then I began to work with other children and work at the training camp. I was noticed by one of the coaches of the school, and the director of SKA-Strelna also appreciated my work. Then I received an offer from them and I started my work, the results appeared. – Do you work with professionals too? – In summer – yes. When they are left to their own devices. During the season, I do not have such an opportunity. This year I worked with Mikhail Maltsev, who now plays in New Jersey, with Spartak defender Andrei Zubarev, plus players from the MHL teams SKA-1946, SKA-Varyags, Dynamo St. Petersburg. – What is your personal experience with children? Does she inspire? – This summer I worked with professionals who were preparing for the season. Emergency child care: Emergency Child ServicesEmergency Child Services

Wee Care Three809 Coldwater Rd |
While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority.
When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced.
Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers
While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
- Home child care or family childcare
- Child care services
- Preschool
- Nursery
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.
Other Things to Think About
One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children.
As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in.
If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.
No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.
Switching Day Care Centers
Choosing Another Child Care Provider
So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.
Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.
In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
Child Care Options for Low Income Families
One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:
Extended Day Program
The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.
The Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.
Head Start
Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.
Child Care Voucher Program
The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.
A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.

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

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

Child care houston texas: Texas Preschool Development Grant Birth Through 5 (PDG B-5)
Texas Preschool Development Grant Birth Through 5 (PDG B-5)
The Texas grant builds on the six goals from the Texas Early Learning Strategic Plan and will focus on connecting families to services and engaging them as leaders, supporting local system building, expanding access to high quality programs, strengthening and building the early childhood care and education (ECCE) workforce, and developing an early childhood integrated data system. Additionally, the grant includes updated reports and studies of the birth to 5 landscape in Texas.
PDG B-5 efforts will support the following activities:
Connect Families to Services and Engage Families as Leaders
Expand earlychildhood.texas.gov to add local resources and a tool (eligibility screener) that allows parents to see if they are potentially eligible for different early childhood programs (and then pointing parents to the appropriate program for formal application/eligibility determination).
Leverage and expand Parent Advisory Councils across the state. In years two and three of the grant, continue funding the TEA Early Childhood Education’s two new positions: Family Engagement Director and Family Engagement Specialist. Provide training to state agency staff, local early childhood coalitions, and other organizations to incorporate the National Family Support Network Standards of Quality and to co-design mechanisms to provide ongoing feedback to the state via the Early Childhood Interagency Work Group.
Offer community subgrants to support family engagement activities, which may include the expansion of Family Resource Centers, hiring parent navigators, or Parent Cafes.
Support Local Systems Building
Broaden Help Me Grow Texas, which supports communities in aligning and coordinating early childhood resources in order to support the optimal health, development and well-being of children, by:
- Offering technical assistance to interested communities to become Help Me Grow Texas affiliate organizations or to work toward Help Me Grow Texas readiness. This includes supporting the launch of local “centralized access points” (e.g., training on effective follow-ups), provider education and outreach (e.g., clinic work flows), data collection and analysis, and family and community outreach.
- Bringing together local early childhood coalition leaders to increase connections across programs and create a plan for ongoing, coordinated local work and transitions.
- Supporting local implementation through the availability of subgrants to local communities.
Expand Access to High Quality Programs
Continue funding Child Care Regulation’s Navigator positions to improve access to child care in rural areas. TWC is currently funding these positions for one year.
Support young children with disabilities through continued funding to train child care staff on developmental screenings, as well as assessments and early interventions to increase school readiness and reduce the need for expensive interventions later.
Provide local communities with the opportunity to expand access to research-based classroom assessment tools, which includes teacher coaching, to support educators in prekindergarten settings, through local subgrants.
Expand infant and early childhood mental health consultation support, conducting a landscape analysis and implementation science overview to inform state efforts to make mental health consultation more widely available to the ECCE workforce.
Strengthen and Build the ECCE Workforce
Develop a pipeline of effective early childhood educators and professionals through multiple pathways that improve the training of early childhood educators, including Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in high school, articulation and transfer agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, support for early childhood apprenticeships including incentives for staff who mentor apprentices, robust work study programs, and pipelines that grow the availability of the early childhood teacher workforce.
Grow and maintain a qualified therapist workforce serving young children needing Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services by providing incentives to local therapeutic staff who mentor other staff or supervise interns and/or to provide sign-on bonuses for therapists who come to work for ECI for at least 2 years.
Support the early childhood workforce through restorative discipline coaching to offer alternatives to suspensions and expulsions.
Develop Statewide Integrated Data System
Develop an Early Childhood Integrated Data System (ECIDS), taking into consideration how to align early childhood data efforts with the work of the Tri-Agency Work Group.
Reports and Studies
Conduct a new comprehensive statewide needs assessment for children birth to 5 years old.
Develop a new statewide strategic plan with efforts led by the Texas Early Learning Council in partnership with families, providers and other ECCE stakeholders.

A Harris County free child care program is set to start, and advocates say it’s needed because child care centers across the state are in crisis.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Harris County free child care program is set to start in days, and advocates say it couldn’t come at a better time because the child care centers across the state are in crisis.
Sending your kid to child care is too much for some parents.
“If you want to go to a better place and a better area, it’s going to be $300 and up per child,” Paola Diaz explained.
Diaz said child care costs are why she’s at home spending summer days at the library instead of work.
“It keeps you from trying to work, or do other stuff around,” Diaz said. “It is hard.”
Harris County is looking to help. This month, an Early REACH program starts. The county is using $26 million in federal funds to cover child care costs. If you live in the county, have a kid under age four, and meet the income requirements, you could receive free child care.
“There are so many child care deserts around Harris County and we want to provide not only free child care, but high quality child care,” BakerRipley spokesperson Frederick Goodall said.
Advocates said this is a statewide problem. Texas Care for Children said a family of four spends nearly $20,000 a year in child care.
During the pandemic, the state spent millions on this issue. It’s funding that has dried up.
During this past session, advocates lawmakers didn’t do enough to fund child care.
“That funding would’ve supported the continuation of stabilization grants that the state launched during the pandemic that were critical to keeping programs open,” Texas Care for Children early learning policy director David Feigen said.
Advocates said it’s not only the cost of child care, but workers’ pay. On average, they make $11 an hour.
Without assistance, it could cause facilities to close. It’s a problem they say has already caused child care deserts, mainly in low-income communities.
“It means they have to find alternative arrangements for their kids and for some kids that means arrangements that are not high quality or children are stuck in front of a television screen rather than getting read to be a teacher and engaging with other kids,” Feigen explained.
Without work, parents aren’t spending money. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said Texas loses $9 billion a year in revenue because of parents not working. That’s money that could go to infrastructure, teachers, and other state projects, which is why advocates say programs like the one the county will launch this month are important for us all.

CDS sends 3rd team to Houston, Orlando team completes service – News

A child support volunteer reads to a child at MARC near Houston, Texas.
“We have another team going to Houston, Texas this week and a third this summer,” says Children’s Disaster Services (CDS) Deputy Director Kathleen Fry-Miller. “I know that people there are very tired from all the floods and water. I am so grateful that we have volunteers ready to go.”
In related news, the CDS team, which served in Orlando after the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, has completed its job of caring for children and families affected by the shooting. In addition, more CDS volunteers are on alert to respond to California fires and West Virginia floods as the American Red Cross identifies child care needs.
Houston
The third group of CDS volunteers to serve in the Houston area this year continues to help children and families affected by the floods. The five-man team left for Houston on June 21st. They set up a child care center at the Interagency Resource Center (MARC) in Angleton, Houston, in partnership with the American Red Cross. They are expected to provide services there until Monday, June 27th. The team includes Project Manager Donna Savage, Mary Geisler, Pearl Miller, Vivian Woods and Myrna Jones.
On their first day of operation, the Houston team served 25 children. Savage said in a CDS Facebook post that the children were calm and playful. About the team, she said: “We have a great group here!”
Orlando
The CDS Orlando team has retired. As of June 21, the team has served 53 children at the Family Assistance Center (FAC) in Orlando, at field meetings and in the hospital. More than 650 people have received help at the FAC, the team said in a CDS Facebook post.
“These week and a half have been emotional and stressful for everyone involved, including service providers,” CDS said in a Facebook post. Project manager John Kinsel said: “It has been an honor and a blessing to be a part of this.”
The work of the CDS attracted media attention in Orlando, including an interview with team member Erin Silber on WTSP 10 News. Find him at www.wtsp.com/news/local/tampa-volunteer-recounts-helping-orlando-victims-families/247576594 .
Kinsel received a Facebook “hello” from Lyron Livingston, a reporter for WPLG Local 10, who wrote in a June 17 post: “For my friends in Dayton… meet John Kinsel – in Orlando from Beavercreek [Ohio] – help to help children involved in the Orlando shooting… He came over to say hello” . .. As he put it, he heard my voice and looked up to see an old familiar face among the TV cameras during a recent press conference … God bless him, and the people from Child Services and the Brethren Church.
