AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Breezewood KinderCare Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.
Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
I’ve had my children in other daycares and they never had more caring teachers than they do now. I have 3 special needs children and they fully accommodate my children in any way! I love it here and I’ll never change. The staff is wonderful!
Michelle P. – KinderCare Parent
When my daughter was six months old we enrolled her in an in-home daycare and were very disappointed at the care received. My daughter had colic and needed to be held or sit upright most of the day; this in-home daycare was unable to take care of her and left us without care at the last minute. The Breezewood KinderCare was recommended to us. They took us in and treated my daughter as though she were one of their own. I felt comfortable from the start that she would be well taken care of. I cannot say enough about how much we love everyone here!
Arianne M. – KinderCare Parent
Previously, my son attended another daycare company. Due to an unpleasant experience, we decided to find another alternative. We then found ourselves needing care because I found out I was having another baby. I had to find a place that felt comfortable to my heart where I could bring both new baby and our son, which scared me due to the previous issues we had with the other company.
Upon meeting the people at the Breezewood KinderCare, I can say I have nothing but positive words to say. Ms. Kristie, the Director, and Ms. Wendy, the Assistant Director, have an open-door policy that they stick to maintaining with parents. I can also say that I feel comfortable talking to any of the teachers and office staff at this center. All of the employees are kind and caring, so I never have to wonder if my children are being well cared for, which is one of the things, as a mom, I used to worry about. People also worry about cost, but they have kept their cost affordable compared to other centers.
In regards to their programs, my infant daughter loves it here. We have been there almost a year and my daughter is excelling in everything. They have a more hands-on infant program, which is wonderful for us and her development. Instead of putting your child in a jumper or play yard, they read, sing and work with them on their motor skills. They also keep me well informed on my baby’s progress so I can continue working with her at home. Additionally, my son now goes there for their summer camp and has a blast. His program features field trips, swimming days, and a lot of activities planned for the school age kids.
Overall, I would like to thank the people at Breezewood KinderCare for making such a difference in my life!
Tammy – KinderCare Parent
After three years of family care my husband and I found ourselves in need of a daycare facility. My daughter is three and was going to attend a private preschool in the fall when our situation changed and we needed a full time daycare facility for her and our son, who is soon to be two. After meeting with a few daycare centers, I was becoming more and more reluctant. I decided to give it one last chance and contacted KinderCare. I must have called Ms. Kristen a dozen times with questions before I enrolled my children and she kindly answered each and every one of them. I visited the facility a few times before I enrolled my children. I had so many fears and anxiety when the first day came. The staff did so much to help me calm those fears, beginning with drop off, where Ms. Sharon made me and my daughter feel comfortable when we arrived. I didn’t want to leave my daughter standing there crying, my heart was breaking for her. Ms. Sharon took us to Ms. Tanya for drop off and, unfortunately ,the time had come for me to say goodbye. When I turned back around before the door closed, I saw Ms. Tanya bend down and looked to be hugging my daughter and immediately I was left with only the anxiety, not the fears. She wasn’t doing that for my benefit, she could no longer see me. She was doing that for my daughters benefit, even with other kids all trying to get her attention. Ms. Sharon in the meantime was ensuring me that how I felt was normal and I would feel that way for days to come. Due to my hours, I do not get a lot of interaction with her teachers, but she is always eager to tell me about her day. She says every day “I was crying but now I am smiling.” She told me that her teacher says that to her. She tells me that her teacher is always smiling. It makes me feel more comfortable knowing that they are taking the time to make my daughter comfortable.
My son enrolled a week later and that was a whole other adjustment. My son is sensitive and can be, at times, very difficult. I wanted to make sure that I felt comfortable that the staff was going to give him the time and attention he needed. He is a terrible sleeper and wakes up very cranky from him naps. All of these things made me fearful to leave him at daycare. I was certain that strangers would not be able to calm him down and they would be calling me to come get him. That was before I met Ms. Deborah. My son took to Ms. Deborah immediately, but more importantly, Ms. Deborah took to him. Ms. Deborah is there when I drop him off in the mornings and in two short weeks I already feel comfortable leaving him with her, even if he is still crying when I leave. Often he is still crying when I leave but when he sees Ms. Deborah he will reach for her. He might not stop crying but clearly Ms. Deborah is treating him wonderful if he wants to go with her. Ms. Deborah will tell him she needs to finish something up. It makes me happy knowing that she is willing to engage with him. She will make sure everything is in order and everyone cared for and content and she will then take him from me. I often leave with her holding my son, rocking him. I have not had a lot of face to face interaction with Ms. Lindsay but every time I call she is always willing to speak with me and tell me how my son’s day is going, and never acts annoyed that I have called. Ms. Kaycee has been fantastic in relaying information from Ms. Lindsay to me. My son always seems calm and happy when he is in Ms. Kaycee’s care. She always takes the time I need to feel comfortable knowing about his day when I pick him up. She never rushes me out the door or makes me feel like a nuisance for asking too many questions. On a good day she will say our son “did so wonderful today”. It makes me happy that she is personalizing with him and makes me feel like he is cared for a child not a paycheck. She is very genuine when she tells me about his day, and it makes me feel very comfortable.
Beside the obvious of wanting to feel comfortable with the staff, the most important thing I was looking for was education. I wanted to make sure that my children would be learning, as well as having fun. Every day my daughter tells me something new that Ms. Yudis has taught her that day. My son has already started to use his words better, and in a very short time has become a better communicator. He not only uses his words better but he has begun to incorporate sign language. All clear signs that my children are being taught, as well as they are being cared for at KinderCare. While I am nowhere near the comfortable phase as a whole, I am already well ahead on my comfort level than I ever thought. I want to thank everyone at KinderCare that has made that happen. Ms. Kristen and Ms. Wendy have both been so helpful and are truly available any time you need them.
Parent – KinderCare Parent
As a musical performer for children, I play music for kids in literally hundreds of centers each year. And every once in a while I come across a center worker deserving of a shout-out. I’d like to recognize the amazing summer programs coordinator at Breezewood KinderCare, Ms. Susan Rolka. The day I performed at her center this past summer, I had lots of time to watch her interacting with her school-age children. Ms. Rolka truly has a gift with kids. She keeps them constantly engaged with creative interaction, and turns every little activity into a fun learning experience. And it was clear that she has won the hearts and the respect of her kids. She’s an extraordinary teacher, and a credit to her center.

— David Massey
My son has been attending Callahan for almost 2 years and he loves it. I was hesitant about daycare but have been happy since day one. The staff and teachers really care about the kids. We were so sad when Callahan had to close due to covid. I never looked to send him anywhere else. I knew we wanted to stick with Callahan. He has learned so much and come so far.

Sullins College
Sullins College [3] was a former Methodist, women’s, junior college in Bristol, Virginia, United States, founded around 1868 and named after David Sullins, a Methodist minister. The operation ceased after he completed the 1976 course.

History
Founded in 1870, it became a branch of the Methodist Church in 1873. [1] It started out as a high school and junior college. Its first location was in the center of Bristol.
The entire building burned down during the Christmas holidays at the end of December 1915, and the Methodist Church decided not to rebuild. William E. Martin, an Alabama Methodist pastor who had previously been president of Sullins, was persuaded by some Bristol residents to return to Bristol and reopen the school. He did, and the school was rebuilt in a brand new location in a residential area of Bristol, on high ground overlooking the city. No longer a Methodist institution, Martin ran it as a private girls’ school controlled by his family. It attracted clients from wealthy families throughout the Southeast who were looking for an undergraduate college with the prestige of Virginia. [4] The new facility opened in September 1917.
In the 1930s, Martin opened a branch office, Arlington Hall, on the outskirts of Virginia Washington, DC. During World War II, Arlington Hall was closed, and the facilities came under the control of the federal government, which operated it as the American Bletchley Park – a top-secret facility where enemy radio messages were carefully deciphered. The facility is still a state-owned enterprise.
Sullins College in Bristol remained under the control of the Martin family until 1960s when they handed it over to an independent board of trustees. The junior college celebrated its centenary in 1970. The college continued to operate, additional buildings were built. By the 1970s, however, women’s colleges were no longer as fashionable as they once were, and as a two-year college, Sullins was especially vulnerable to change. The peak enrollment in 1968 of almost 400 quickly declined so that by the fall of 1972 there were only 102 freshmen from 30 states and five foreign countries. [5] [6]
Faced with a million dollar debt in February 1975 and an insufficient enrollment, the trustees offered the school to the State of Virginia in exchange for the state taking over the school’s debt. The State Board of Higher Education did not recommend the acquisition, and the proposal was rejected by the Governor in late October 1975. [5] In early 1976, the school was valued at $16 million and the campus covered 75 acres (30 ha) with 14 buildings in addition to the 50-acre (20 ha) Sequyoa Camp. [7]
In April 1976, the board of trustees reached an agreement with the city to move the school into the city’s school system to operate as a coeducational institution. The city will assume the school’s $1.2 million debt, retain the college’s name, and use the property for educational purposes only. [7] The agreement with the city failed, and after graduation from the class of 1976, Sullins College closed in July. There was no alternative owner of the college. Ownership eventually passed to United Coal Company, now known simply as United Company, an investment firm.
Queen’s University, in Bristol, Tennessee, is the custodian of Sullins College’s records and maintains an active relationship with the institution’s alumni. [8]
Student life
For most of its existence, the college took responsibility for the behavior of its students under the direction of instead of parents . This was a typical example in 1911 when two girls were expelled from school who were riding in a car with two boys from nearby King’s College. The girls were being held for their parents to come after them when they ran away with the two boys. As a result, college officials and police harassed couples in Tennessee. The stalkers failed to apprehend the girls as the stalkers found them in Hawkins County, Tennessee minutes after the couple’s wedding. The criminal charges of the two boys involved were discussed. [9]
The school newspaper was Reflector .’ [2] Phi Theta Kappa chapter plus several student clubs operated on campus. The school yearbook was Sullins Sampler . [10] In 1946, Sampler won third place in a Methodist competition among over 300 schools participating in a competition held by the Columbian Scholastic Press Association. [11]
The graduating class of 1955 donated a group of five Peter Pan statues that were placed around the pool on campus. [12]
The school operated at Camp Sequoia. South Holston Lake. [2]

. The school added grades until it became a K-8 school. In the process, the church building ran out of space. After the college closed at 7In 1976, in the summer of 1977, the school moved to the Martin Hall campus, naming it Sullins Academy to better denote its non-sectarian nature. [13] The Academy remained there until 1999, when it moved to a newly built facility on 32 acres (13 ha) in Bristol, Virginia. [14]

Georgetown South
Georgetown South is a PUD 30 miles south of downtown Washington DC. in Manassas. [15] When it was built in the 1960s, it was considered “the fine southern sister of the famous and wealthy area”. Georgetown. [16] It consists entirely of 3-room, 2-story red brick townhouses built between 1960 and 1970, some with cream or pastel exterior paint. The neighborhood has a community center that offers a free pediatric clinic, seminars, workshops, and citizenship courses. [16] Despite high hopes during construction, the area suffered greatly during the expropriation crisis. “At the height of the housing bubble, nearly 60 percent of residents were homeowners,” but in 2013, 60% of residents were renters. [16] When the houses eventually became empty, they left room for crime to creep in. Today, the area is known for a higher crime rate, including drug use and serious domestic crime, than due to its history or connection to the nation’s capital. [16]
Downtown
Manassas Historic Downtown, also called Manassas Historic District or Manassas Old Town, is an area in downtown Manassas. According to Historic Manassas, this seven-by-one-block area alone contains 206 buildings and one ancillary facility. [17] Its northern boundary is Portner Avenue and its southern boundary is Prince William Street. [18] Back in the early 1990s, downtown Manassas was known for being dilapidated and was mostly used by workers coming from the area to Washington, DC. However, in 1995, local entrepreneur Loy E. Harris founded Historic Manassas and invested in the area to bring it back to life. Harris’s death in 1999 from cancer was felt in the community, [19] but his organization, Historical Manassas, remained. In the 2010s, more efforts were made to make the area successful not only commercially but also residentially. Developers seized the opportunity and built three- and four-story townhouses along East Center Street, East Church Street, and Prescott Avenue to appeal to a younger generation of homeowners looking for urban amenities in the suburbs. [ citation needed ] Across the block is the Harris Pavilion, an outdoor area that turns into an ice rink in the winter.

History
The Monacan Indian Nation and other Sioux Tutelo-speaking tribes have lived in the area since at least 1270, driving the Virginia Algonquians east into the coastal regions. The explorer John Lederer visited one of the Siouan villages (Sapony) in 1670 on the Staunton River at Otter Creek, southwest of the modern city, as did the 1671 expedition of Thomas Butts and Robert Fallam.
The Siouan peoples occupied the area until about 1702; they weakened due to high mortality from infectious diseases. The Seneca people, who were part of Haudenosaunee , or the Iroquois Confederacy based in New York, defeated them. The Seneca traveled south, seeking new hunting grounds through the Shenandoah Valley to the west. In the Treaty of Albany in 1718, the five nations of the Iroquois ceded control of their land east of the Blue Ridge, including Lynchburg, Colony of Virginia; they confirmed this in 1721.
Founding and early growth
First settled by Anglo-Americans in 1757, Lynchburg was named after its founder, John Lynch. When he was 17 years old, Lynch began a ferry service across the ford of the James River to carry passengers to and from New London, where his parents settled. The “City of Seven Hills” developed rapidly in the hills surrounding Lynchs Ferry.
In 1786, the Virginia General Assembly recognized Lynchburg, a settlement at Lynchs Ferry on the James River. The James River Company had been incorporated the previous year (and President George Washington received shares he donated to charity) to “improve” the river to Richmond, which grew and was named the new capital of the Commonwealth. The shallow draft boat on the James River was a relatively easy means of transportation through Lynchburg to Richmond and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. Rocks, fallen trees, and flood debris were a constant hazard, making their removal a costly ongoing maintenance. Lynchburg became a trading tobacco, then a commercial, and much later an industrial center.
The state eventually built a canal and trail along the river to facilitate waterway transportation, and especially to provide a waterway around the falls in Richmond, which hindered boat navigation. By 1812, U.S. Chief Justice John Marshall, who lived in Richmond, reported navigational difficulties and construction problems on the canal and trail.
The General Assembly recognized the growth of the settlement, incorporating Lynchburg as a city in 1805; it was not incorporated as a city until 1852. Meanwhile, Lynch built the first Lynchburg Bridge over the James River, a toll structure that replaced it with a ferry in 1812. The toll highway to Salem, Virginia was started in 1817. Lynch died in 1820 and was buried next to his mother in the churchyard of the South River Friends Meeting House. The Quakers later left the city due to their opposition to slavery. The Presbyterians occupied the prayer house and converted it into a church. Now it has been preserved as a historical site.
To avoid the large number of visitors to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson built a plantation and house near Lynchburg in 1806 called Poplar Wood. He frequented the city, remarking, “Nothing will give me greater pleasure than being of service to the city of Lynchburg. I think it’s the most interesting place in the state.” In 1810, Jefferson wrote, “Lynchburg is perhaps the most growing place in the US … It now stands next to Richmond in importance …”
The early inhabitants of Lynchburg were not known for their religious enthusiasm. The traditional Anglican church allegedly built a log church in 1765. In 1804, evangelist Lorenzo Doe wrote: “…where I spoke outdoors in a place which I conceived to be the seat of the Kingdom of Satan. Lynchburg was a deadly place for the worship of God.” It was about the lack of churches, which was corrected the following year. Itinerant Methodist Francis Asbury visited the city; The Methodists built their first church in 1805. Lynchburg hosted the last Virginia Methodist conference attended by Bishop Asbury (February 20, 1815). As Lynchburg grew, prostitution and other “hooligan” activities became part of the river town’s urban mix. They were often ignored, if not accepted, especially in the city center called “The Buzzard’s Nest”. Methodist preacher and later bishop John Early became one of Lynchburg’s civic leaders; in contrast to early Methodist preachers who called for the abolition of slavery during the Great Awakening; Early belonged to a later generation who adapted to this institution in the slave societies of the South.
On December 3, 1840, the James River and Kanawha Canal from Richmond reached Lynchburg. It was extended to Buchanan, Virginia in 1851, but never reached a tributary of the Ohio River as originally planned. By 1840, the population of Lynchburg exceeded 6,000 and a water supply system was built. The floods of 1842 and 1847 damaged the canal and trail. Both have been refurbished. City businessmen began lobbying for the construction of the railroad, but the Virginia General Assembly refused to fund such construction. In 1848, civic activists began selling subscriptions to the Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad.
By the 1850s, Lynchburg (along with New Bedford, Massachusetts) was one of the wealthiest cities in the United States per capita. Tobacco (including the production of tobacco products in factories using indentured slave labor), the slave trade, general trade, and the production of iron and steel stimulated the economy.
Railways have become the wave of the future. Construction of the new Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad began in 1850, and a locomotive was tested in 1852. Later that year, in Forest, Virginia (near Poplar Forest), a locomotive called the Lynchburg exploded, demonstrating the dangers of the new technology. Two more railways were built for the Civil War, including the Southern Railway from Petersburg. In 1870 it became known as the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, then the Norfolk and Western Railroad line, and the latter as part of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad stopped at Lynchburg.
American Civil War
Lynchburg served as a Confederate transportation hub and supply depot during the American Civil War. It had 30 hospitals, often housed in churches, hotels, and private homes.
In June 1864, the allied forces of General David Hunter approached within 1 mile, moving south from the Shenandoah Valley. Confederate troops under General John McCausland pursued them. Meanwhile, the city’s defenders hastily erected parapets on Amherst Heights. The defenders were led by General John S. Breckinridge, who was disabled from wounds received at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Union General Philip Sheridan appeared at Lynchburg on June 10, when he crossed the Chickahomine River and cut the Virginia Central Railroad. However, Confederate cavalry under General Wade Hampton, including the 2nd Virginia Cavalry from Lynchburg under General Thomas T. Munford, defeated his forces in the two-day Battle of Trevillian Station in Louise County, and they withdrew. This allowed fast marching troops under Confederate General Jubal Early to reach within four miles of Lynchburg on June 16 and cut off the tracks of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad to impede the movement of Union reinforcements while Confederate reinforcements approached from Charlottesville.
On June 18, 1864, at the Battle of Lynchburg, Early’s combined forces, although outnumbered, repulsed those of Union General Hunter. The defenders of Lynchburg did their best to give the impression that the Confederate forces in the city were much larger than they actually were. For example, the train kept running on the tracks while the drummers played, and the people of Lynchburg cheered as if reinforcements had landed. Local prostitutes took part in the deception, misleading their Union clients about the large number of Confederate reinforcements. Narcissa Owen (Cherokee), wife of the president of the Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad, later wrote of a similar deception by Allied spies.
From April 6 to April 10, 1865, Lynchburg served as the capital of Virginia after the Confederate government fled Richmond. Governor William Smith and the Commonwealth executive and legislature fled to Lynchburg when Richmond surrendered on 3 April. General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, about 20 miles (32 km) east of Lynchburg. end of the civil war. Lynchburg surrendered on April 12 to Union General Ranald S. Mackenzie.
Confederate Brigadier General James Deering died ten days later. He was a native of neighboring Campbell County and a descendant of John Lynch; he was wounded on 6 April at the High Bridge during that Appomattox campaign. Mackenzie visited his wounded friend and former West Point classmate, facilitating the transition of power.
Civil War Rebuilding
The railroads that powered Lynchburg’s economy were destroyed by the end of the war. The people of the city deeply resented the occupying forces under General J. L. Gregg and were more willing to work with his affable successor, General N. M. Curtis. Thomas J. Kirkpatrick became Superintendent of Public Education created under the Virginia Reconstruction-era legislature and the Constitution of 1869years, and built four new public schools. Previously, the only education for students from poor backgrounds was provided through St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Floods in 1870 and 1877 destroyed the city’s bridges (which were rebuilt) and the James River and Kanahwa Canal (which were not rebuilt). The towpath was used as the basis for the rail-laying of the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad, a project conceived five decades earlier.
The boundaries of the city were extended in 1874. In 1881 this railroad was completed to Lynchburg and another railroad reached it via the Shenandoah Valley. Lynchburg had a telegraph office, about 15,000 residents, and the birth of the streetcar system. Many citizens, believing that their city was crowded enough, did not join the activists who wanted Lynchburg to be the crossroads of this valley and what became the Norfolk and Western Railway, so the crossroads was moved to Big Lick. It later developed into the city of Roanoke.
Lynchburg, circa 1919
In the latter half of the 19th century, Lynchburg became industrialized (sometimes referred to as “South Pittsburgh”). On a per capita basis, it has become one of the richest cities in the United States. In 1880, Lynchburg resident James Albert Bonsac invented the first cigarette rolling machine. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Charles Brown Fleet, physician and master of pharmacology, introduced the first microclyster, which was mass-sold without a prescription. By the city’s centenary in 1886, banking activity had grown six times its 1860 level, which some attribute to the decline of slavery. Lynchburg Cotton Mill and Craddock-Terry Shoe Co. (which would become the largest shoe manufacturer in the South) were founded in 1888. The hydroelectric dam in Reusens started working at 1903 and soon gave more electricity.
In 1886 Virginia Baptists founded a teaching school, Lynchburg Baptist Seminary. It began offering a college-level program to African American students in 1900. Now called Lynchburg University of Virginia, it is the city’s oldest institution of higher education. Not far outside the city, Randolph-Macon Women’s College and Sweet Briar College were established as women’s colleges in 1893 and 1901, respectively. At 1903, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) established Lynchburg Christian College (later Lynchburg College) on the site of the former Westover Resort Hotel which had gone bankrupt during the Panic of 1901. During the 2018/2019 academic year, the college’s name was changed to Lynchburg University, reflecting the expansion of graduate programs and research. Lynchburg’s first public library, the Jones Memorial Library, opened in 1907.
World War I Memorial in downtown Lynchburg
During World War I, the city’s factories supported the war effort and the area also supplied troops. The city survived the Roaring Twenties and survived the Great Depression. Its first radio station, WLVA, was launched in 1930 and the airport opened in 1931. In 1938, the former fairgrounds were rebuilt and are now located next to the football and baseball stadiums.
World War II and after
During World War II the Lynchburg factories were again open 24 hours a day. At 19In 1955, General Electric and Babcock & Wilcox built high-tech factories here.
Lynchburg lost an attempt to gain access to the interstate. In the late 1950s, concerned citizens, including Virginia Senator Mosby G. Perrow, Jr., petitioned the federal government to change the long-planned route to the interstate now known as I-64 between Clifton Forge and Richmond.
Since the 1940s, maps of the Federal Interstate Highway System have shown a proposed northern route, bypassing the Lynchburg and Roanoke manufacturing centers. But federal officials assured Virginia that the state would determine the route. While initially supporting this northern route, the Virginia State Highway Commission eventually supported the southern route from Richmond via US-360 and US-460, which connected Lynchburg and Roanoke via US-220 from Roanoke to Clifton Forge and then continued west on US-60 to West Virginia. But on July 1961 Gov. J. Lindsey Almond and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges announced that the route would not be changed. Lynchburg remained the only city of over 50,000 (at the time) that was not served by an interstate highway.
Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Dementia (now known as Central Virginia School), was established outside of Lynchburg at Madison Heights. For several decades in the mid-20th century, the state of Virginia permitted the forced sterilization of the mentally handicapped for the purposes of eugenics. Operations were carried out in the institution. Approximately 8,300 Virginians were relocated to Lynchburg and sterilized there, making the city a “junkyard” for the feeble-minded, the poor, the blind, those with epilepsy, and those otherwise considered “genetically unfit.” Carrie Buck challenged government sterilization, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally upheld her in Case Buck vs Bell . She was classified as “feeble-minded” and spayed while in the Virginia State Penitentiary.
Sterilization was carried out for 35 years until 1972 when operations were stopped. Later, in the late 1970s, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a class action lawsuit against the state of Virginia on behalf of the sterilization victims. In the settlement, the victims received a formal apology from the state and advice if they wished, but the judiciary denied the state’s requests to pay for reverse sterilization surgeries. At 19In ’94, Buck’s sterilization and trial was featured in the television drama Against Her Will: The Carrie Buck Story . The Manic Street Preachers address the issue in their song “Virginia’s Epileptic Colony” on their 2009 album Journal For Plague Lovers .
Modern Vibration
Founded in 1971 as Lynchburg Baptist College and renamed in 1985, Liberty University is one of the nation’s largest institutions of higher education and the largest employer in the Lynchburg region. The university claims to bring over $1 billion in economic impact to the Lynchburg area each year.
Lynchburg has ten recognized historic districts, four of which are in a downtown residential area. Since 1971, 40 buildings have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Downtown Lynchburg has undergone a significant redevelopment, with hundreds of new loft-style apartments created through the adaptive reuse of historic warehouses and factories. Since 2000, downtown has attracted more than $110 million in private investment, and business activity has grown by 205% from 2004 to 2014. In 2014, 75 new apartments were added in downtown Lynchburg, with 155 more under construction, increasing the number of downtown housing units by 48% from 2010 to 2014.
The $5.8 million Lower Bluffwalk Walkway opened in 2015. Notable projects underway downtown by the end of 2015 include the $25 million Virginian Hotel restoration project, the $16.6 million restoration of the Academy Arts Center, and the $4.6 million expansion of the Amazement Square Children’s Museum.

Transportation
Local Transit
The Greater Lynchburg Transportation Company (GLTC) operates local public transit bus service within the city. GLTC also provides a shuttle bus service around the Liberty University campus.
GLTC selected a property directly across from Lynchburg-Kemper Street Station at its top selection site on which to build a new transfer center for its public bus network. They were interested in facilitating intermodal connectivity between GLTC buses and the intercity bus and rail services that operate from the location. The project was completed and opened to the public on June 16, 2014.
On August 23, 2017, GLTC launched The Hopper, a free circulating air bus downtown, with a $479,348 grant from the Virginia Smart Scale program. On June 29, 2019, GLTC terminated service to The Hopper due to “persistently low attendance” and the expiration of a $117,820 government subsidy covering operating costs.
Greyhound and Amtrak operate from Kemper Street station.
Intercity transit
Intercity passenger trains and buses are based at Kemper Street Station, a historic three-story railway station recently restored and converted by the City of Lynchburg to serve as an intermodal transportation hub for the community. The station is located at 825 Kemper Street.
Bus
Greyhound Lines located their bus terminal on the main floor of Kemper Street Station after its 2002 restoration. Greyhound offers transportation to other cities in Virginia, USA, Canada and Mexico.
Railroad
Railroad Station’s intercity Crescent and Northeast Regional Connect Lynchburg to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans and points in between.
In October 2009, Lynchburg became the southern terminus of in the Northeast Region, which had previously spent the night in Washington. The projected number of passengers in the first year of the 180 mile expansion was 51,000, but the actual number of passengers was three times the estimate and the train paid for itself without any subsidies. By fiscal year 2015 at Regional had 190,000 riders. The Lynchburg station alone handled a total of 85,000 passengers in 2015. It is located on the ground floor of the Kemper Street railway station.

Politics
Lynchburg has traditionally been a conservative stronghold. This predates the influence of Liberty University; it was one of the first areas in the state where old Byrd Democrats began to share their tickets nationally. However, conservative Democrats continued to hold most local offices well into the 1970s.
However, since 19In the 1990s, the popularity of the Democratic Party in the city gradually grew, and the political atmosphere in Lynchburg became more and more moderate. In the 2020 United States presidential election, a majority of voters in Lynchburg voted for Democratic nominee Joe Biden over incumbent Republican Donald Trump. Biden was the first Democrat to take Lynchberg with him since Harry S. Truman in 1948.

Vocabulary: Activities for Your Second Grader
Talking to and reading with your kindergartner are two terrific ways to help them hear and read new words. Conversations and questions about interesting words are easy, non-threatening ways to get new words into everyday talk.
Even very young children love to hear and learn new words! Help your child expand their word bank and knowledge of the world by using interesting and vivid words instead of simpler language in your everyday conversations.
Reading aloud exposes your child to lots of vivid language that is not found in books for beginning readers. When you come upon a new and interesting word, take the time to stop and ask your child what they think that word might mean in the context of the story. Then offer a kid-friendly definition of the word and connect it to a similar word and a shared experience.
Give them great words
Children’s author Jane Yolen (Owl Moon, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?) delights in using rich language in her picture books. In this clip from our video interview with Yolen, she says she often has to fight to keep good words — that really stretch vocabulary learning — in her picture books.
Word learning and vocabulary growth takes time and patience. Don’t expect your child to learn a new word after one conversation or one read aloud. True word learning happens after being exposed to words several times. We all learn about words throughout our lifetime. You’re getting your child off to a great start by developing an early interest in words.

Read aloud every day
Reading aloud to your child and having your child read books on their own is the best way to increase their vocabulary. Books provide words they won’t encounter in everyday conversations as the language of books is more complete and formal than talking. A great story also provides context and illustrations for learning a new word.
Bring in the nonfiction
Nonfiction and informational books (such as the DK Eyewitness series) offer young children a treasure chest of new and interesting words about our world. If the book has a glossary, spend some time discussing the words with your child, and as you read aloud stop as often as needed to think about new words and how they connect to what your child already knows about. Learn more in this article, The Vocabulary of Science.
Talk about new words during read alouds
Talking to and reading with your child are two terrific ways to help them hear and read new words. Conversations and questions about interesting words are easy ways to get new words into everyday talk. “The book says, ‘The boy tumbled down the hill,’ and look at the picture! How do you think he went down the hill?”
Sharing a new word with your child doesn’t have to take a long time: just a few minutes to talk about the word and then focus back on the book or conversation. Choose which words to talk about carefully — choosing every new word might make reading seem like a chore. The best words to explore are ones that are less common to see in the books your child might read. When introducing new words to your young learner, keep the following four helpful hints in mind:
Provide a simple, kid-friendly definition for the new word:Enormous means that something is really, really big.
Offer a simple, kid-friendly example that makes sense within their daily life: Remember that really big watermelon we got at the grocery store? That was an enormous watermelon!
Encourage your child to develop their own example: What enormous thing can you think of? Can you think of something really big that you saw today? That’s right! The bulldozer near the park was enormous! Those tires were huge.
Keep your new words active within your house. Over the next few days and weeks, take advantage of opportunities to use each new vocabulary word in conversation. Kids often need to hear a new word in context ten times or more before they “know” that word.
How do I help my child learn new words while we read aloud?
Literacy expert Sandra Wilborn suggests that parents pause during the read aloud to elaborate on a new word by giving a simple definition, connecting the word to something your child knows, and using it in a sentence. Reinforce the learning by using that new word at home in the weeks ahead. (From our video series Reading SOS: Expert Answers to Family Questions About Reading.)
Be a word detective!
Families can help develop word knowledge through simple conversations focused on words. For example:
Start at the root. Begin with a simple root word, such as push. Ask your child to come up with words they know that contain that word, such as pushing, pushed, pushover, push-up. Talk about how all these words have some shared meaning related to the word push.
Multiple meanings. Many words have more than one meaning. While sitting at the dinner table, choose a word and brainstorm as many meanings and uses for the word as you can think of. Some words to start with: spring, frame, check, light.
Consider the prefix. Numeric prefixes like bi- and tri- are a part of many words kids know and use. Discuss words like tricycle, triceratops, triangle. All these words share the prefix tri-, which means three. Can they develop a list of words that begin with the prefix bi- (like bicycle and binoculars)? This gives you a great chance to introduce new words, like bicentennial, bicep, and biped. You can generate similar word lists with the numeric prefixes uni, octo, and cent.
Multiple meaning match

Explore your world
Visits to a museum, the zoo, the botanical garden, historical sites, and even your neighborhood park are terrific opportunities to introduce your child to new words. Spend some time looking at the signage and identifying new words, then connecting them to what you see right there.
“What’s another word for …”
This game helps your child learn there’s more than one word for everyday things. For example, look around you and say, “what’s another word for couch?” (sofa, ottoman). Or, if your child is doing a unit at shool on weather, for example, ask “what’s another word for hurricane?” (typhoon). You can extend the game by talking about how two things are similar but not exactly alike (small, microscopic). That helps your child learn about the subtle differences in related words.
Should I tell my child to look up words in the dictionary?
It’s still okay to encourage your child to look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary (remember to do it with them!) — but that’s just the first step. Literacy expert Sandra Wilborn says that vocabulary development is a process that requires lots of exposure to a word in order to really learn it. Find out about the other simple things parents can do to reinforce word learning. (From our video series Reading SOS: Expert Answers to Family Questions About Reading.)

Science in second grade is a lot of fun! There are many interesting topics to be studied and many new vocabulary words to be learned. Read on to find out about the topics and vocabulary that you will study in second grade!
Science Vocabulary for Second Graders
The world is a busy place! From plants and animals to the weather, there is a lot happening all around us! As a second grader, you will learn about these topics, plus many more. Let’s take a look at some of the science topics that you will study this year and the vocabulary words that go with each topic!
Earth Science
Have you ever dug a hole in the ground before? As you dug, you probably noticed that the surface of the Earth is made up of different materials, such as fine sand, thick dirt, small pebbles, and larger rocks. These materials make up different shapes in the land, as well. Here are some of the materials and landforms that make the Earth’s surface so unique!
Valley
Boulder: A very, very large rock.
Mountain: A very large hill.
Plain: A flat area of land.
Rock: A hard material found on Earth. It is not living.
Sand: Tiny pieces of rock.
Soil: The top layer of Earth’s surface. This is usually loose, and not packed tightly together.
Valley: A very low area of Earth’s surface, usually set between two higher pieces of land, such as mountains.
Life Science
Take a walk through the woods and you will notice a busy community of living things. Plants are growing and animals are scurrying around. You may even notice animals and plants relying on one another; an animal might be curled up in a nest in a tree or eating the leaves off of a plant. This is called life science, and it is a big topic that you will study in second grade! Here are some of the many vocabulary words that are used to describe life science!
Forest
Adaptation: Something that an animal does or has in order to survive. For example, a porcupine has quills to defend itself against predators.
Camouflage: What an animal does to blend with its environment. For example, a chameleon will turn green when sitting on a leaf, so it will not be seen.
Endangered: When a species of animal is in danger of not living anymore.
Environment: All of the things that make up a certain place. These things can be living, such as trees, or nonliving, such as rocks.
Extinct: An animal or plant that is not living anymore. For example, dinosaurs are extinct.
Food Chain: Animals eat plants and other animals in a particular order. For example, a mouse eats a plant, a snake eats the mouse, and an owl eats the snake.
Habitat: A place where an animal finds everything it needs to survive including shelter, water, and food.
Matter
Have you ever noticed that an ice cube turns into a puddle if it’s left on the floor and a pot of water can disappear into the air when it is boiled? This is matter! Matter is what everything in our world is made of and is one of the fun topics that second graders get to explore. Here are some of the vocabulary words that describe matter.
Boiling Water
Matter: What all things in the world are made of!
Solid: Matter can be solid, like a basketball or a building block. These are objects that have a shape.
Liquid: Matter can be liquid, like milk or water. This type of matter does not have a shape and can move freely.
Gas: Matter can be a gas, like the air you breathe. This type of matter does not have a shape and can completely fill another object, such as a balloon.
Weather
Chances are, you woke up this morning and looked out the window to check the weather. You probably checked to see if it was warm or cold outside, and whether it was rainy or sunny. Weather influences a lot of the decisions that we make throughout our day! So, what are the different types of weather that you will study in second grade?
Tornado
Blizzard: A type of storm that has both strong winds and heavy snowfall.
Hurricane: A type of storm that has strong winds and heavy rain. It often happens near the ocean and creates big waves, as well!
Thunderstorm: A type of storm that has rain, thunder, and lightening.
Tornado: A cloud that spins and creates a funnel shape. It has very strong winds, as well.
Lesson Summary
As you can see, there is a lot to learn in second grade science! You will learn about everything from the life that is found on Earth, to the surface of our planet, and to the weather that surrounds us. Hopefully you learned some new vocabulary words to get you started on your second grade science journey today. Enjoy!

Second Grade Spelling Curriculum Sequence
The spelling curriculum for second grade should cover second grade dolch words, advanced phonics, and compound words.
For example, spelling words include frequently used, irregular words such as WAS, WERE, SAYS, SAID, WHO, WHAT, and WHY. Second grade children are expected to master short-vowel, long-vowel, r- controlled, and consonant-blend patterns correctly. Words using the -ight ending are introduced, including BRIGHT, FLIGHT, and NIGHT, plus a few compound words are included in second grade spelling word lists including GRANDFATHER, BEDROOM, and SAILBOAT.
These very young children learn through spelling activities including many creative methods that make the second grade spelling program fun for them. Remember, every child learns at a different rate, so what works for some students, may not be the correct approach for your child. Which is why so many parents enjoy Time4Learning’s self-paced, modularized lesson plans. You can skip lessons that teach concepts your child has already mastered and repeat those he or she has not. The choice is yours.
Foundational Spelling Skills
Spelling skills should develop as part of an overall language arts phonemic awareness, phonics, reading comprehension, vocabulary and reading fluency, grammar, reading and writing program. Children should (with help from their parents) develop their foundational spelling skills through an interest in words, regular writing, constant reading, a study of spelling rules, and playing of spelling games.
With help from their parents, children can develop and reinforce foundational spelling skills through the following activities:
Regular writing for a head start on spelling, punctuation, and other concepts
Constant reading or use of reading workbooks
Frequent study of spelling rules like the relationships between letters and sounds
Spelling bees for a fun way for your child to practice their spelling
Playing of spelling games, quizzes or word games to help develop their spelling skills
Structured computer spelling programs
Personalized tutoring and assistance to boost confidence
Setting daily blocks of time for spelling and reading activities
Instruction through guided spelling activities like word sorts or word boxes
Creating a rich language environment at home based on the quantity and quality of words spoken

children Dictionary for parents
The quality and quantity of a child’s vocabulary largely determine the level of speech development in general. The formation and development of a dictionary is one of the main directions of the speech development of preschoolers. This topic has been the subject of numerous studies over many decades, and does not lose its relevance even now. Currently, there are trends of deterioration in the level of speech development of children, including the scarcity of their vocabulary. The reasons for this deplorable situation are heredity, and congenital pathologies of development, and the imperfection of the educational system, and the lack of competence of teachers and parents on the speech development of preschoolers. Usually, vocabulary work is most intensively carried out in the early and younger preschool years, but it should continue in the older age groups of the kindergarten.
There are certain norms for the development of speech, the indicator of which, in particular, is the number of words that the child knows. By the end of the first year of life, the first words appear (10-15 words). Babbling (lyalya, mom, dad) and onomatopoeic (meow, bibi). During the 2nd and 3rd years of life, the child has a significant accumulation of vocabulary. By 1.5 years – 100 words, by 2 years – 300-400 words, by 3 years – 1000-1500 words, and at 6-7 years old the active vocabulary is from 3500 to 5000 words.
Before entering school, a test is mandatory, which includes an assessment of speech development. And recently, the statistics have been disappointing, because most first-graders show signs of delayed speech development. This is a serious problem, which leads to the fact that such children are simply not ready for school. And first of all, this affects the acquisition of literacy – children simply do not have enough knowledge to pick up test words.
To prevent this, effective measures must be taken to enrich the child’s vocabulary so that he knows as many words as possible before entering school.
The child’s vocabulary is of two types – passive and active. Passive vocabulary is those words, the meaning of which the child understands, but does not use in his everyday speech. The active vocabulary includes those words that the child not only understands, but also uses them in speech and writing. As a rule, the passive dictionary is always larger than the active one.
Thus, the main task is to expand the passive vocabulary, as well as help in activating the active vocabulary. The most active period, when the child begins to master the largest number of words, is the age of 1 year. If at 12 months a child knows about 12 words, then by the age of 4 he already masters up to 2000 words.
It is important to understand that words are not acquired by themselves – this is the result of systematic work to expand the child’s vocabulary. And the work must be carried out every day – only in this way can good results be achieved. A huge role in this process is played by parents, on whose participation it directly depends on how quickly the child begins to speak and how rich his vocabulary will be.
There are a number of recommendations to build and increase the vocabulary of preschool children. Most of them do not require much effort on the part of parents.
All children are in different conditions of speech development, so the number of words they know is different in each case. But there is a certain list of terms and concepts that children should know by the age of 5-7:
Household dictionary (names of toys, dishes, hygiene and household items).
Spatial orientation (up, down, right, left).
Concepts of time (second, minute, hour, year), days of the week, months and seasons.
Dictionary of natural history (names of natural phenomena, animals, plants, birds that are in its immediate environment).
Numerals (ideally up to one hundred).
Social science terms (names of holidays, words denoting people’s work, human values, etc.).
Sports (football, hockey, etc.).
Words denoting emotions, feelings and experiences.
Parts of the human body.
Names of vehicles.
Colors and shades.
There are many ways to build a child’s passive and active vocabulary. Below we list the main recommendations, the observance of which will allow you to quickly achieve results.
Constant communication with the child is the base that allows the child to learn new words, ask an adult about the objects and phenomena that he observes.
During communication, try to use not only definitions familiar to the child, such as “small”, “big”, “good”, etc. Introduce synonyms into speech that make speech more colorful, use metaphors and epithets.
It is important to understand that the speech of preschoolers mainly consists of nouns and verbs, so you need to use adjectives as often as possible. Children hardly remember them, so you need to acquaint the child with the shape and color, smell, material, purpose of objects.
One should not just read books aloud, but do it slowly and with intonation. Periodically, you need to stop and ask the child if he understood the meaning of what he read, or if some words are incomprehensible to him. This is very important, because even when reading the simplest book, a child may have a lot of questions that you don’t even know about. Explain the meaning of unfamiliar words to him, and also ask questions about what he read.
You can observe almost everything with your child. Conduct an inspection of the premises in which you visit (during a trip to visit, visiting a clinic, etc.), observe with him natural phenomena, children in the yard, animals and birds.
But don’t just be an observer – comment on what you see. Actively share your observations, describe the feelings that you experience while doing this. The observations themselves should be interesting for the child, so if he does not want to look at the children playing on the playground, but wants to take part in this himself, then do not prevent him from doing this.
Looking at pictures and pictures in books contributes to the development of a passive vocabulary. You should describe what is shown in the illustration, as well as ask leading questions to the child.
Drawing up a story from pictures is very helpful. First, you can disassemble each image separately, and then, together with your child, compose a simple mini-story based on these pictures.
Here you can combine business with pleasure. Take your child to the kitchen, for example, where you can cook family dinner together. There is just a huge number of new items, the names and purposes of which may be unknown to him. Demonstrate and name the available kitchen items to him, tell him exactly what they are for.
You can discuss the classification of products with him. So he will understand that vegetable oil is needed for frying, and not to drink it, that it is more convenient to eat soup with a spoon, etc. Surely the child will want to help you, so you can entrust him with some simple and safe task (stir salad with a spoon, sort out buckwheat, etc.).
Play is the form of learning that is most effective in childhood. In this case, you do not need any special devices, so you can play almost anywhere.
Here are a few examples of such games:
We name the attribute of an object and correlate a certain object with it. For example, large (elephant, skyscraper, world), white (bread, sheet of paper, etc.).
Guess the profession. Examples: a person who drives a car … (driver), a person who sells products … (salesman).
“I know five.” At an early age, it is important to know not only a lot of words, but also to classify them into certain categories. You can invite the child to name 5 types of animals, types of transport, etc.
“Edible-inedible”. You name any word and throw the ball to the child. If the word is “edible” (ice cream, apple, watermelon), then the child catches the ball, and if it means an inedible object, then the ball is discarded.
“Say the opposite.” You say a word, and the child must name its antonym: hot – cold, slow – fast, clean – dirty.
“Who lives where?”. You name an animal or bird and throw the ball to the child. He catches the ball, names the place where the animal lives, and returns the ball. Examples: – a bear – in a den, a fox – in a hole, etc.
Games greatly influence the increase in words that the child will later use in his everyday speech. It is important to use as many complex and unfamiliar terms and concepts as possible, explaining in detail what they mean. Remember that all activities should be carried out in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, as well as praise the child, even if his progress at this stage is insignificant.

Enriching the vocabulary of younger students
The development of speech is an urgent task of teaching in elementary school. Speech performs the functions of communication, emotional self-expression of a person and influence on other people. Speech is a way of knowing reality. The quality of his education, knowledge, abilities and skills in all subjects, and not just in the Russian language and literature, depends on how the child has mastered coherent speech. Developed speech helps children better express their feelings and thoughts. A poor vocabulary does not allow children to fully communicate with both adults and children.
Psychologist N. I. Zhinsky wrote: “Speech is a channel for the development of intellect. The sooner the language is mastered, the easier and more complete the knowledge will be assimilated.
Consequently, speech development contributes to the development of thinking. Unfortunately, there is still no real continuity between kindergarten and school. Children entering school have a poor command of speech, their mental operations are not developed. For some reason, they are taught to read, and not to tell, explain, memorize, reproduce. In the first grade, a double burden is imposed on children.
When entering first grade, the child is under severe emotional stress. Even a well-developed kid experiences certain difficulties in a new school life for him. Many children lose their appetite, experience insomnia, while others, on the contrary, are drawn to sleep all the time. How difficult it is for a child who has poorly developed speech! It is difficult to understand for both children and adults. The teacher should make every effort to calm the child, win him over and help him master the correct, literate speech.
Often such children are sent to study in a correctional class of the 7th type.
Some students who come to the first grade usually have insufficiently developed coherent speech, a very poor vocabulary, logical thinking is not developed, and a weak memory. In order to teach children to correctly, accurately, beautifully express their thoughts in oral and written speech, it is necessary to systematically work to enrich the vocabulary. Vocabulary work is carried out throughout all four years of elementary school: during literacy, work on a word, on a phrase, sentence, text. First of all, you need to find out the volume of the vocabulary of children; what words and expressions they do not understand or are completely unfamiliar. Setting himself the task of helping children master the correct coherent speech, the teacher must analyze each story, poem: whether the speech is meaningful, whether the choice of words and other means of language is rich and varied.
The most important requirements for speech exercises:
-Systematicity,
-Consistency
-Perspectivity,
-Elements of novelty,
-Variety of species,
-accessibility.
In order for a new word to enter the child’s dictionary, it is necessary that the acquaintance with the lexical meaning of the word occurs on the basis of the operations of analysis, synthesis, and generalization.
To make it interesting for children and to better remember unfamiliar words and expressions, I include in each lesson one of the headings “Phonematic exercise”, “Visiting the word”, “On the wings of folk expressions”. The work is based on the use of poems, riddles, proverbs and sayings, phraseological expressions.
Each speech development lesson begins with phonemic exercises. It is necessary for the development of hearing and pronunciation of students. For example, to reinforce the pronunciation of the sound “p”, you can do the exercise “Woodpecker”, when the tip of the tongue knocks from the inside into the roots of the upper teeth, and the child pronounces d-d-d-d. Then: stop the horse: tpr-r-ru! Next task: start the tractor: tr-r-r-r!
The next stage of the lesson will be “Visiting the word”
This is how children work with the word “aster”.
1. Interview with students:
— What flowers do you know?
— Showing an aster and asking for the name of this flower.
— What does an aster look like (children say a ball, a plate, a hair clip).
—Does an aster look like a star?
2. Teacher’s message:
Astra in Greek “aster” means “star”. Why do you think?
What color of asters did you see?
3. Listen to the poem by Vs. Rozhdestvensky.
Astra.
Autumn over the shady park…
Gold maple trees on the waters of the pond.
The leaves are spinning… The birds have fallen silent.
Astra with its straight petals
From ancient times it was called a star.
That’s how you would call it yourself.
In it the petals scattered like rays
We suck golden from the core.
— How does the author show us that the aster is like a star?
4. Then the children, under the guidance of the teacher, make sentences about the aster.
The work on riddles, in which there is a description of objects, comparisons, synonyms and antonyms, personification, metaphor, enriches the vocabulary of students.
Sam scarlet, sugar,
Green caftan,
Velvet.
Children guess that it is a watermelon and prove why they think so.
What kind of work to enrich the dictionary can be done on these lines! They contain words whose meanings are unfamiliar to children: backwater, backwaters, dawns.
There is both personification and metaphor. The teacher should help the children understand the feelings of the poet, express their attitude to the pictures of nature created by Yesenin.
And such work should be carried out for each work.
Children need to be able to use both synonyms and antonyms. And this work must also be systematic. Synonyms and antonyms are used not only in the lessons of the Russian language and literature, but also in lessons in other subjects.
And what scope for the development of speech and thinking is given by work on phraseological units!
For example, beat the buckets.
1. Listen to the poem that I composed myself and guess what the expression beat the thumbs means.
If you wander all day.
Idle time,
Not to work, not to read.
Only lie on the sofa.
The people will say about him:
—The whole day he beats his thumbs!
2. Why is it said about the character of the poem that he beats his thumbs? (Because he doesn’t do anything)
– So, what is to beat the buckets? (sit back).
3. The expression to beat the buckets originally meant to split the block into the buckets (chocks for making wooden spoons), that is, to perform simple, uncomplicated work.
4. Next, the students talk about how they themselves sometimes beat the thumbs.
At any lesson, you can pick up games aimed at enriching and activating the vocabulary of children. I invented some games myself, others I took from special literature. For example, V. Volina “Learning while playing. ”
1. “What will I take with me.”
The teacher invites the children to name the items that they will take with them, if they go somewhere. Options: hiking, fishing, visiting, school, etc.
For example, when I go fishing, I will take a fishing rod, a can of worms, a bucket, a net, a knife, a tent, a high chair, a blanket, and more.
2. “Professions”.
Tractor drives … (tractor driver).
Electric train … (driver).
Painted the walls … (painter).
Planked board.. (carpenter).
The house was lighted… (fitter).
Works in the mine … (miner).
In the hot forge.. (blacksmith).
Who knows everything … (well done).
3. “Words”.

5. “On the contrary”.
Find antonyms for the given words.

10. The transformation of words is a magic wand.
Replace one letter in words.
Stick-jackdaw – beam, stove – river – cut, shade – stump day – laziness, cat – kol – tol – ton – don – dol – gave.
11. Anagram.
From these words, by rearranging the letters, make new words.
Ugar-stew. Strike-ore. tub-carcass. uhlan moon.
Such exercises not only enrich the vocabulary, but also contribute to the use of new words in everyday speech, the development of thinking.
Each teacher, based on their own experience, can come up with many games and exercises to enrich students’ vocabulary. And, of course, he must use the methodological accumulations of other teachers in his work.
It is important not to lose in your work the understanding that words do not exist on their own, but in phrases, sentences, texts. Therefore, simultaneously with the work on the dictionary, work is underway on the compilation of phrases and sentences with a new word.

Vocabulary study of junior schoolchildren with intellectual disabilities
Bibliographic description:
Musaeva, N. S. Vocabulary study in younger schoolchildren with intellectual impairment / N. S. Musaeva. – Text: direct // Young scientist. – 2015. – No. 15 (95). — S. 596-598. — URL: https://moluch.ru/archive/95/21374/ (date of access: 09/12/2022).
In modern scientific literature, the word is considered as a sign denoting the result of cognition, thinking. The word encodes cognitive experience. Language as a means of communication is primarily the language of words. Words are concrete objects, abstract concepts, feelings and relationships are expressed.
Words in a language do not exist in isolation from each other. They are part of a single lexical system. Each lexical unit of this system is connected by various relations with other units both in meaning and in form (synonymous, antonymic connections, thematic and lexico-semantic groups). The place of a word is also determined by its ambiguity, compatibility with other words. When learning vocabulary, these connections begin to interact. Semantic (semantic) fields, or so-called verbal networks, are formed around each word. The mastery of a word is at the same time the process of its “accumulation” with lexical connections with other words. As a result, children master both the words themselves and the systemic connections between them.
A child can only master the meaning of a word when it is used in phrases, sentences, or a coherent statement. Therefore, the formation of a dictionary should take place in close relationship with the development of coherent speech of children. Conversely, the richness of the vocabulary is a sign of well-developed speech and an indicator of a high level of mental development (1).
The timely development of the vocabulary is one of the important factors in preparing for schooling. Children who do not have sufficient vocabulary experience great learning difficulties, not finding the right words to express their thoughts. Teachers note that students with a rich vocabulary solve arithmetic problems better, master reading skills, grammar more easily, and are more active in mental work in the classroom.
The peculiarities of the vocabulary of mentally retarded children attracted the attention of many authors, who noted that cognitive impairments affect the formation of a passive and active vocabulary (2,3).
However, the study of the vocabulary of students with intellectual disabilities in the republic was not studied, in connection with this, we conducted a preliminary study of the state of the vocabulary in the native (Uzbek) language of mentally retarded primary school students in auxiliary schools No. 25, 37, 52, 57 , 66 of the city of Tashkent.
The purpose of the study was to identify the level of formation of the vocabulary of mentally retarded junior schoolchildren .
As a basis for diagnosing the speech development of children, we laid the principles of systematicity and consistency, accessibility and visibility, using such pedagogical qualities as benevolence, patience and endurance, pedagogical tact and the ability to dispose the child to communication. The examinations were carried out with each child individually, after establishing a positive emotional contact with them. In the study, we identified the active vocabulary of students:
– Nouns that answer the question who? what?, fruits, vegetables, toys, clothes, shoes, pets, wild animals, poultry, seasons, holidays, family, modes of transport, furniture, professions, food, utensils…
– Verbs answering the question what does he do? Walks, jumps, sews, sleeps, runs, cooks, swims, washes, eats, washes, irons, cleans, dances, plays… animals, poultry, seasons, holidays, family, modes of transport, furniture, professions, food, dishes. The criteria for assessing the degree of assimilation of the vocabulary by mentally retarded students were defined as “very low”, “low”, “medium”.
The study involved 190 children, 58 students from the 1st grade, 42 students from the 2nd grade, 44 students from the 3rd grade, 46 students from the 4th grade.
Examination of children with intellectual disabilities made it possible to establish a picture of the formation of vocabulary, to identify the level of passive and active vocabulary, and to specify the volume of vocabulary of younger students. All diagnostic tasks in their content corresponded to the age indicators of younger students, had clear verbal instructions and the necessary demonstration material. The results of the study were formalized in protocols for examining the vocabulary for each child. The results of the examination of the state of the vocabulary of mentally retarded primary school students are shown in Table No. 1.

Pupils who showed very low scores could not answer even very elementary tasks. For example, where children were required to show objects named by the experimenter, children found it difficult to show, many showed several pictures for the name of one object, “generalizing words” the children had difficulty with concepts: school supplies, transport, flowers, trees, shoes, clothes. It was difficult for children to generalize these words, for example, such items as boots, shoes , were assigned to the concepts of clothes, and bus, tram, trolleybus , the children called cars. It was also difficult for children to focus their attention on several pictures at the same time, and therefore they quickly forgot the purpose of the task. For example, students of the 25th specialized school of the 1st grade Abduvosikov, Abdukayumov, Olmasov could not distinguish fruits from vegetables when they were asked to distribute fruits in one direction and vegetables in the other direction, the students could not cope with the task, they also could not list family members , distinguish the seasons, distinguish colors, geometric shapes, etc. The students from the 4th grade of the specialized school No. 66 Abdumalikov, Abdurahimov, Makhamadzhonov also gave very low results, although they study in the 4th grade, but they could not cope with the tasks, in each school has students who gave very low results, out of 190 tested 112 students, that is, 59% of primary school students gave very low results. Among the children we studied, there are children with Down syndrome. Out of 112 students, 38 (34%) 1st graders, 27 (24%) 2nd graders, 22 (20%) 3rd graders, and 25 (22%) 4th graders scored very low.
It should be noted that, having a minimum passive vocabulary, children use it very reluctantly, when answering questions, they think for a long time, become animated at the game situation, without delving into the essence of the question, and are often distracted, forgetting the instructions.
Students who have low scores 46 students (24%) out of 190 students. Of these, 15 (33%) students are 1st grade students, 9 (20%) 2nd grade students, 17 (36%) 3rd grade students, 5 (11%) 4th grade students. These students with a low level of vocabulary formation coped with the tasks by trial and error. Children completed these tasks either after stimulating questions, or corrected themselves, but with the help of the experimenter. The instructions were clear to the children, but controlling actions were required. To the questions “What is this?”, “Who is this?” these students were able to answer, but tasks requiring distinguishing color, shape, size were difficult for these students. To the questions “What does he do?” students answered only after stimulating questions. The questions were answered with the help of the experimenter. For example, a student of the 37th specialized school from the 2nd grade of Abdujabborov was able to cope with the task of naming nouns, distinguishing them from each other, but he could not complete the task of distinguishing colors, shapes, sizes on his own, when given generalizing words, this student did everything only with with the help of an experimenter. A 2nd grade student Otabek from the 57th specialized school was able to complete the entire task with nouns, but on the task of understanding the actions shown in the pictures (show in which picture: the girl is sleeping, the mother is ironing, the grandmother is knitting, the girl is washing, the mother is cooking, the girl is sweeping , the girl combs, the boy washes) could not answer correctly. Tasks adjectives denoting color, shape, size were also difficult, he constantly needed the help of an experimenter.
Children with an average level of were able to distinguish words related to nouns, adjectives, verbs, while clarifying generalizing words, they were able to say everyday words, it was slightly difficult to distinguish poultry, seasons. For example, a student of the 52nd grade school, Abduvaliev, was able to complete the task on nouns, adjectives, had some difficulty with tasks with verbs, completed all the tasks with help, with generalizing words, only sometimes resorted to help.
Of the 190 students surveyed, 32 or 17% showed an average level of learning. 5 (16%) students of them are students of grade 1, 6 (18%) children of grade 2, 5 (16%) children of grade 3, 16 (50%) students are students of grade 4.
Based on the results of the experiments, the following conclusions were made that the vocabulary of mentally retarded primary school students is not sufficient in quantitative and qualitative terms. There is an inaccurate use of words, paraphasia. The prevailing are the replacements of words by semantic similarity. Characteristic are the replacements of the word . There are mixtures of words of the same kind, type. The passive vocabulary of mentally retarded children is larger than the active one, but it is hardly updated. The data of V. G. Petrova is confirmed that mentally retarded schoolchildren do not know the names of many objects that surround them.
When talking with teachers, they reported a number of shortcomings in the work, that there are not enough visual supplies to increase the vocabulary of students, methodological aids have not been developed to a sufficient extent, parents of students do not work together with teachers, there is a lack of visual objects for reciting poems , plays, fairy tales, few hours are devoted to the study of the seasons. Indeed, in mentally retarded students, memory is usually enriched with the help of visualization.

Stages of speech development in a child
The first six months
By the end of 1 month of life, a healthy infant already responds to treatment: stops crying, focuses on an adult. At 3 months , when communicating with an adult, the baby becomes animated, “gurgles”. Vowel sounds predominate, as well as consonants g, k, n.
At 5 months the baby reacts to the direction of the sound, “sings”, changing the intonation of the voice. By 6 months the first syllable “ba” or “ma” appears. There is an initial understanding of the addressed speech: the child listens to the voice of an adult, recognizes familiar voices.
Up to the year
In 8 months babble occurs, i.e. repetition of the same syllables: “ba-ba”, “yes-yes”, “pa-pa”, etc. In speech, sounds are used: p, b, m, g, k, e, a. By 10 months the baby uses at least 1-2 “babble words” in communication (such as “lyalya”, “woman”).
At 1 year the child already uses 3-4 “babble words”, understands individual words, correlates them with specific objects. Understands simple instructions accompanied by gestures (“kiss mom”, “where is dad?”, “give me a pen”, “no”). The first meaningful words in a baby appear by the end of the first year of life. The period from one to three years is characterized by a rapid increase in vocabulary in children. This is due to the fact that the activity of the child becomes more complex and diverse. He gets acquainted with the various properties of objects, establishes the simplest connections between them, generalizes according to similar features. However, the ability to understand the generalized meaning of words is not yet sufficiently developed.
After a year
1 year 3 months . Vocabulary increases to 6 words, the child understands a simple instruction without a gesture, shows familiar words in the picture.
1 year 6 months . Shows one of the parts of the body, vocabulary 7-20 words.
1 year 9 months . Shows three parts of the body, uses a two-word phrase (“Mom, di!”, “Give me lala”). Vocabulary 20 words.
Second year of development
2 years . The child shows five parts of the body, has a vocabulary of at least 50 words; understands and correctly follows the two-step instruction (“go to the kitchen and fetch a cup”), correctly uses the pronouns I, you, me. By the age of two, the child already learns the sounds: p, b, m, f, c, t, d, n, k, g, x. Whistling sounds (s, s, c), hissing (w, w, h, u) and sonorous (p, l) he usually skips or replaces.
2 years 6 months . The child understands the designation of actions in different situations (“show who is sitting, who is sleeping”), the meaning of prepositions in a familiar specific situation (“what are you sitting on?”). Pronounces sounds correctly: s, z, l, repeats two numbers in the correct sequence, has the concept of “one”.
After two – not too late
3 years . Vocabulary 250-700 words, the child uses sentences of five to eight words, has mastered the plural of words; gives his name, gender and age; understands the meaning of simple prepositions – performs tasks like “put the cube under the cup”, uses simple prepositions and conjunctions in the sentence because, if, when. The kid understands the read short stories and fairy tales.
4 years . Complex sentences are already found in speech, prepositions are used for, before, instead of, after, unions what, where, how much. Vocabulary 1500-2000 words. The child correctly pronounces hissing sounds w, w, h, u, as well as the sound c. The softened pronunciation of consonants disappears.
5 years . Vocabulary increases to 2500-3000. In words, there are no more gaps, permutations of sounds and syllables. All parts of speech are used in the sentence. The child masters all the sounds of the native language and uses them correctly in speech; actively uses generalizing words (“clothes”, “animals”).
7 years . The dictionary is increased to 3500 words, it actively accumulates figurative words and expressions, stable phrases (neither light nor dawn, hastily, etc.) Grammar rules are assimilated. The child actively tries to explain the meaning of words, reflects on the gender of nouns. Thus, language and speech attention, memory, logical thinking and other psychological prerequisites for the further development of the child and his successful schooling develop.

It’s no secret that children often read badly just because they don’t understand
words that smart adult uncles use in the text. This raises two difficulties
– read the word itself, and it can be long, and secondly, understand what was read
and remember what it means.
This is for those kids who have not yet learned how to connect letters into words and made

How to choose the time for classes
There is this recommendation:
If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning,
make each session a game when he is active, alert and in good
mood.
This is a highly controversial recommendation. The kid quickly understands that as soon as it opens
primer, then it will be boring, and he won’t be able to see the TV set. The mood spoils, occupation
comes from under the stick.
How to choose the right words for reading
Not all children understand how to put letters into words correctly. for them the letters are
just icons that don’t represent anything. Why do adults want certain things from them?
actions, children do not understand. And, at some point, the children understand what it is
letters and how words can be formed from them. Just for such children, I collected simulators
and games.
In this simulator, you will need to read simple words and choose the right
picture that represents the word. First come simple words, consisting of
three letters, then more difficult and long. The task I set was to collect the words,
with all letters of the Russian alphabet.
Learning to read by playing online
Determine the child’s vocabulary
Words for reading should be given from what is already known
thesaurus (dictionary) of the child.
The child operates with words related to people:
mother, father, woman, grandfather (if he is still alive – if not,
then we exclude from the list), aunt, uncle, Vasya, Nastya, Sergey, Lena, Kolya – all names
parents, brothers and sisters.
The child can describe the surrounding kitchen utensils:

Why does a baby forget letters, although he learned them yesterday
Usually, a child easily remembers some letters, and not so others. The role of an adult
in celebrating what his ward does not succeed in and giving additional
tasks.
Another important thing is regularity. Since for the child all learning is
frankly, cramming and repetition, then the process of classes should be such that
information was repeated at regular intervals.
Ebbinghaus (read more about this on Wikipedia) studied how quickly people forget
meaningless information for this person and came to the conclusion that in the first twenty
minutes, 40% of the information is forgotten. And if it is impossible to say exactly what it means
this or that letter, then this is tantamount to the fact that the letter is completely unfamiliar. Must be
unequivocal 100% recognition.
Repeat, repeat, repeat
For example, you are training warehouses (syllable, combination of letters) TO , and the child more or less learned to recognize and read the combination.
Add the syllable BUT to the tasks, and ask to read words helping to read unfamiliar
more child letters. However, the child can click on the syllables himself and listen to how the computer
is reading.

Note
See if the child understands the meaning of the words. The dictionary in the program is selected
in a special way – so that all combinations of letters needed for training come across.
Therefore, the word may be unfamiliar. For example, the word SUKNO has been added to the dictionary
since this word includes the SU warehouse.

How to choose the time for classes
There is this recommendation:
If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning,
make each session a game when he is active, alert and in good
mood.
This is a highly controversial recommendation. The kid quickly understands that as soon as it opens
primer, then it will be boring, and he won’t be able to see the TV set. The mood spoils, occupation
comes from under the stick.
Here are the simple rules for organizing classes:
Classes must be periodic. Short enough for your son
or daughter engaged enthusiastically.
There should be an encouragement at the end.
The kid must clearly understand what he needs to do this time.
I RECOMMEND!
I recommend reading Karen Pryor’s book Don’t Grow at the Dog, in order to
to understand how to train… oh, train a child.
In short, put only one task. ONLY ONE! As soon as it turns out
what you wanted – leave the lesson. For example, you want the child to clearly
uttered the tongue twister “in the yard – grass, on the grass – firewood.” Explain to the child
that you need to clearly and clearly say the words slowly and articulately. If he speaks
on the first try. All! lessons are over.
In our case, clearly explain how many exercises he has to do
this time! And don’t give any more quests.
Teaching reading to children 3,4,5,6 years old in a playful way. Acquaintance with letters, alphabet, correct pronunciation, simple texts for reading
Spoken English – what should be the vocabulary.
One-two-three-four-five… How many words should I know? Sam Jandreau, founder of the Lingholic project, will answer this question. He will talk about what the 95/5 rule is and how it works for those who learn a foreign language. No magic, just math!
Word, show your passport!
English students often ask, “How many words do I need to learn to be able to hold a conversation on any topic?” Good question, but before answering it, let me ask you another one: How many words do you think the English language has? A question to which there is no intelligible answer. Why? It is impossible to count the number of words in a language for one simple reason – it is difficult to decide what counts as a word.
It is claimed, for example, that for the word “set” the Oxford Dictionary gives 464 definitions. Should we consider a polysemantic word as one word or each interpretation as a separate word? And what about phrasal verbs: “set up”, “set about”, “set apart”, etc.? And what about the so-called open compounds – words like “hot dog”, “ice cream”, “real estate”? Add to this the singular and plural forms, verb conjugations, different endings, prefixes and suffixes, and you will understand why it is so problematic to answer how many words there are in the English language.
The question should really be: “Do you know how many words are in the largest dictionary of the English language?” If you roughly imagine the number of words in a language, it can be compared with the number of words used 90-95% of the time in everyday speech and in the news.
Less words – more action
In 1960, the famous American children’s writer Theodor Seuss Geisel (better known under the pseudonym Dr. Seuss, author of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, etc. ) published the book Green Eggs and Ham. The book was written in just 50 words and was the result of a dispute between Seuss and his publisher, Bennett Cerf. The publisher believed that Seuss would not be able to create a finished work in such harsh conditions (before that, Seuss had already written “The Cat in the Hat”, which featured 225 words).
If it’s possible to write a book in just 50 words, does that mean we don’t need 40,000 words to communicate with each other? Note, however, that according to Susie Dent, a lexicographer, the average active vocabulary of an adult English speaker is about 20,000 words, and the passive one is about 40,000 words.
What is the difference between active and passive vocabulary? In simple terms, active vocabulary includes words that you can remember on your own and apply. As for the passive vocabulary, these are those words that you recognize, the meaning of which you know, but which you are not able to use yourself.
How many words do you know, sir?
And here we come to the most interesting part. On the one hand, an adult native English speaker has an active vocabulary of about 20,000 words. On the other hand, The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists states that the first 25 words are used in 33% of everyday written texts, the first 100 words in 50%, and the first thousand words occur in 89% of such texts!
Thus, we can safely say that only 3000 words cover about 95% of general texts (news articles, blog entries, etc.). Liu Na and Nation proved that 3000 is the approximate number of words we need to know in order to understand the rest from context when reading unsimplified texts.
Do the math!
The Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 common words. 95% of general texts cover a vocabulary of only 3,000 words. That’s 1.75% of all words!
That’s right: knowing 1.75% of the English vocabulary, you can understand 95% of what you read. This is only 7.5% of the average passive vocabulary of a native speaker (40,000 words). Isn’t it great?
On the Pareto law and the importance of linguistic guesswork
You may have heard of Pareto’s Law, also known as the 80/20 principle. The Italian engineer and philosopher Vilfredo Pareto studied numerous phenomena and subjects, from land ownership to pea pods, and as a result he deduced a rule that was called Pareto’s law: 20% of causes produce 80% of effects. Or, if you apply the law to study or work: 20% of efforts give 80% of the result.
English learners need to understand 90-95% of the most commonly used words in everyday life. Where exactly do these numbers come from? Approximately as many words you need to know in order to understand well what is written and said. In addition, having learned just that many words, you can guess the meaning of the remaining 5-10% simply from the context! Not exactly 80/20, but the principle is the same: only a small part of your efforts will bring significant results.
This is an extremely important moment! If you have already reached a high level of understanding of the language, this means that it is time to close the dictionary and allow yourself to learn “inductively”, from context and by guesswork. You already do this every day – after all, no one knows all the words in their native language. So why not do the same with English?
Weigh your vocabulary!
So, if you achieve an understanding of 95% of the most commonly used words in a language, you can understand the rest of the unfamiliar words from the context.
Of course, knowing the words does not mean perfectly understanding what you are listening to or reading, because language is also grammar, phraseological units and figures of speech that can (and will) get in your way. A sentence can consist entirely of words that are perfectly familiar to you and at the same time be completely incomprehensible – precisely because of such linguistic phenomena.
Despite this, in most cases, knowing 90-95% of the words in a sentence and the context allows you to understand and communicate in a language without much difficulty – especially if it belongs to the same language family as your native language.
Yes, the English language has a huge number of words, so for many it seems like an impenetrable fortress that will take decades to take. In reality, if from the very beginning you learn words in context, step by step building up your vocabulary “arsenal” to 2500-3000 units, it is really possible in a short time to reach a level at which you can read general texts and understand 90-95% of what is said .
This is the ideal number, exactly how many words you need to learn in order for the experience of reading foreign texts to be successful. This is also the approximate number of words that you need to know in order to catch the meaning of the remaining words from the context.

Method
Preheat the grill and cook the burgers to pack instructions. Meanwhile, cut 1 side of each Cheddar slice in a zigzag pattern using the tip of a knife, so you end up with 4 sets of ‘teeth’. Grill the burger buns, cut-side up, for 1 min until golden.
For each burger, spread the mayonnaise on both halves of the bun. On the bottom half, place a piece of lettuce, then the burger patty. Lay a gherkin slice over the top of the patty so it hangs over the edge to resemble a ‘tongue’. Add a jagged slice of cheese, then carefully squeeze some ketchup over the top of the teeth. Position the top half of the bun at a slight angle so you can see the mouth inside.
Skewer the olives on 8 cocktail sticks and push 2 through the top bun to make the eyes. Remove the cocktail sticks before eating.

These monster burgers are fun Halloween appetizers perfect for your Halloween party. They are easy to make and full of flavor. Includes process shots and useful tips!
If you are looking for new Halloween food ideas, these monster burgers are it. They would definitely make a great addition to your party menu.
And, if you want more Halloween recipes, you can find some ideas at the bottom of this post.
Beef patties
For these monster burgers, I made homemade beef patties, but you can use any store-bought ones you like. They can be made of chicken, pork or beef or a combination of these. You can grill them, bake them in the oven or cook on a skillet!
My burger recipe is simple. I use ground beef which I mix with salt, pepper, thyme, egg and a little amount of breadcrumbs.
It’s important to mix the meat mixture well to achieve an even distribution of the seasoning. For that reason, I like to use gloves or a fork to do it.
You will get 4 patties out of this recipe, so if you want to make a few, you will need to double/triple the recipe.
Assembling Halloween monster burgers
First, prepare everything – make the mayo sauce, wash and pat dry lettuce (if not ready-washed), cook the patties, … Then, just put everything together.
Please have a look at the step by step process photos if not sure.
Tips for making burger monsters for Halloween
Vegetarians can use veggie burger patties instead of meat.
You can go wild and use other ingredients to make the eyes. They don’t have to be on toothpicks. You can place them on top of each burger (sliced cherry tomatoes, green or black olives, baby cucumbers, etc…).
Use any sliced cheese you have on hand/you like.
I love making a quick mayonnaise sauce by combining it with ketchup. You can also add crushed garlic or hot sauce for an extra kick!
Baby romaine lettuce can be substituted with any other green leaf lettuce you like.
Burger buns can be also toasted or grilled!

For homemade burger patties: see note 1
1 pound ground beef (450 grams)
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 large egg
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
For frying:
4 tablespoons cooking oil
For mayo sauce:
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons ketchup
For burger monsters:
4 hamburger buns , see note 2
baby romaine lettuce (2 leaves per bun)
4 slices of cheese , see note 3
4 tablespoons ketchup (or to liking)
dill pickles , sliced lengthways (4 slices)
8 large green olives (without stones)
Making burger patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, thyme, egg and breadcrumbs. Using your hands or fork, mix thoroughly. You want to distribute the seasoning as evenly as possible.
Divide into 4 equally-looking pieces. Roll them into balls and place onto a tray lined with baking parchment. Press down until you get large and thin patties. Press each in the middle to make a slight dent.
Heat oil in a large skillet, place patties in and cook to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side (see note 4). You can also grill them or oven-bake.
Mayo sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayo and ketchup.
Assembling monster burgers: Take a bun base, spread with about a tablespoons of mayo sauce, lettuce, cooked burger.
Top with a slice of dill pickle and a slice of cheese that you have cut some triangles out so it looks like teeth. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup over (to resemble “blood”) and cover with bun.
Stick 2 large green olives onto 2 toothpicks and stick these into the bun.
Enjoy!
Each patty weighs ¼ pound. You can use store-bought burger patties instead of making them yourself if you prefer.
I use large buns with sesame seeds. You can use buns of any size, with or without sesame seeds. Feel free to toast or grill them, if you like!
Any sliced cheese will work (gouda, mozzarella, cheddar).
The internal temperature should reach 160 Fahrenheit (71 Celsius). Cook for longer if needed!
This recipe can be easily doubled/tripled,…
Make sure to remove the toothpicks especially when serving these to kids!

Ingredients
burger
Beef Mince/Ground Beef: Use lean grass fed beef.
Brioche Buns: Brioche buns are a sweeter, more buttery bun. If you can’t find brioche buns use your favourite hamburger buns.
Spooky Special Sauce: Recipe in the recipe card below. If you don’t want to make sauce you can use your favourites, barbecue, ketchup/tomato, hot sauce or mayonnaise.
Bacon: I use maple glazed bacon rashers (bought from the supermarket), but feel free to use your favourite bacon.
Red Onion: Also known as Spanish onion. Thin slices of raw onion are used for this recipe. If you would prefer cooked onion, then pop them in your pan after cooking the bacon for a quick sizzle.
Pickle Slices: They can also be referred as pickle sandwich stackers. If you can’t find them cut a large pickle into slices lengthways, or use long slices of roma/egg tomato.
Olive oil: For cooking the beef patties. If you don’t have olive oil, use your preferred oil.
Salt: To season the beef patties, it is the only seasoning I use. It can be omitted if preferred, but it does act as a flavour enhancer.
Cheddar Cheese Slices: You can use any kind of cheese that is floppy and bends. Otherwise your monsters’ teeth will stick out straight ahead and not flop down to look like teeth.

11 Totally Spooky Halloween Food Ideas To Try – Hand Luggage Only

SHARES
We’ve all been there, whether it’s for the kids, for uni friends or for a haunted-house party – finding the right Halloween food ideas and dishes can be scary! 👻
Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Yaya, me and our friends always make a big deal of it. Usually, the day consists of a copious amount of fake blood, lots of makeup and a spooky party spirit.
Before we hit London town, we always get together to throw a Halloween party, which usually involves lots of Bloody Marys and other Halloween food ideas to gorge on.
Now, for me, Halloween is all about the dressing up, so I insist that anything we make for the party is quick, easy and, of course, a little spooky. More than anything, I have no problems in taking a few shortcuts in preparation, especially if you want to focus on your outfits.
Take a look at some of the best Halloween food ideas I’ve made for our house party. 🎃
1.) Cannibal cookies
Now, I’m a total cheat with these Halloween food ideas and I usually end up buying my cookies already baked. That being said, if you want to bake them from scratch, that’s amazing.
Once your cookies are sourced, grab two and fill in-between with clotted/thick cream, drizzle with lashings of raspberry or strawberry sauce (the blood) and pop two berries on the top for eyes.
Simple, blood-thirsty, cannibal cookies.
2.) Goulish bananas
Possibly one of the easiest spooky treats and Halloween food ideas to make. Chop up a big bunch of bananas (the firmer the better) and pop them upright to stand proud.
Once ready, dot a few little eyes (and a mouth, if you like) with a little tube of chocolate icing.
Honestly, they’re one of the simplest Halloween food ideas and recipes to make. Easy peasy ghostly squeezy! 👻
3.) Cheesy Witches Brooms
Another easy treat to make. Grab yourself some sliced Edam cheese from the Cheese Monger or Supermarket (depending how fancy you want to be) and slice each piece three-quarters of the way up. Make around 5-6 cuts depending on the size of the slice and roll into a pipe shape and squeeze the top to hold the shape.
Once completed, grab a thin breadstick and carefully pierce the top of the bristles. This makes one of the best (and totally spell-binging) Halloween food ideas to gorge on. Hey presto, you’ve made some Witches brooms that are much cooler than a cheese and pineapple stick.
They’re spell-tacualr! 🤣
4.) Petrified Pizza
Another one of the quick Halloween food ideas is a petrified pizza.
Grab yourself some freshly prepared pizza’s to stick in the oven (whatever flavour takes your fancy). Once home, Grab a few balls of mozzarella and shape into some ghost-like silhouettes. Now, if you’re anything like me, it’ll take a little practice (especially after a few glasses of wine – lots of my first tires looked more like blobs than ghosts).
Anyway, once shaped correctly, pop in the oven and cook for between 12-18 minutes. It’s one of the easiest Halloween food ideas to conjure up if you’re on a tight schedule.
Oh, and don’t forget to add a few black olives (and some chopped up olives) to make some creepy-crawly spiders. For extra spice and bloody looking pizza, add a few drops of Tabasco sauce too.
5.) Monster Burgers
First off, buy some good quality burgers (beef, turkey, vegetarian – whatever floats your boat) and grab a few crusty burger rolls, olives, cheese slices gherkins (pickles, if you’re across the pond) and lashings of ketchup. All these together make for one of my favourite Halloween food ideas this year!
Cook the burgers, as usual, just make sure to cut the rolls on one side and slip the burger in. Add a few scary cheesy teeth and a long slice of gherkin for its tongue.
To finish off, prod two cocktail sticks in the top of the roll and add the olives (for eyes). This is all complimented with a messy serving of ketchup (for the blood). 👹
6.) Scary Sushi
First off, grab yourself some white rice, wasabi, fresh salmon (or smoked) and a few pieces of seaweed paper.
After sourcing your ingredients, boil some rice and keep it quite sticky to form some balls. After cooling, wrap with some salmon (or smoked salmon if you prefer) and cut the seaweed paper to make cuts, gashes and eyes. The scariest sushi you’ll find and one to impress the guests!
If you want to add some oozing sores, add a little wasabi coming out of the drawn gashes you make. Extra spicy and a one of the scarier Halloween food ideas to try.
7.) Angry Apples
If you’re looking to hand out some healthier trick or treat goodies, make yourself some of these angry apples that are ready within minutes.
Cut your apples into quarters, leaving the skin on and cut a smaller groove into the middle of each quarter (as per the picture). Once crafted, add a slither of peanut butter inside the groove and add a slice of strawberry for a bloody tongue.
To finish, add some icing eyes that can be stuck to your apples with a little dollop of peanut butter. All finished off with sunflower seeds for the teeth.
This is one of the pretty healthy Halloween food ideas to share with kids.
8.) Mummified Sausage Rolls
Possibly one of my favourites to make, these will take a little more preparation.
Either make a pastry from scratch or buy some rolls of puff pastry in the frozen section of a supermarket. Once ready, cut the puff pastry roll into thin lines and wrap untidily around a sausage or sausage meat.
Pop the sausage rolls into the oven (until golden brown) and finish off with some Edam cheese and pepper seeds for eyes. Alternatively, use a little icing to create the eyes, they just don’t taste that great with a savoury dish.
Complete the dish with dollops of bloody ketchup for one of the cutest Halloween food ideas.
9.) Gravestone Brownies
Another easy cheat of a pudding to make, grab yourself some brownies (pre-made) or if you prefer, from scratch. Make sure each slice is cut into a rectangle shape that can be used as a bottom of a gravestone. After placing the desired amount onto a tray,
To create the headstone, you’ll either need to bake a few sugar biscuits from scratch or try and source some pre-made in the shape you need (which is much harder). You don’t need to just make sugar biscuits and you can also use wafer (which can be cut into the shape you want). Stick the biscuits or wafer into the top edge of the brownie to make a grave,
Finish off with some RIP letters painted with icing sugar on the gravestone and sprinkle some dried and grated citrus fruit for grass onto.
If you’re feeling extra creative, you can make a small cat or pumpkin out of icing to place next to the grave. All this makes for one of the best Halloween food ideas for any budding gravedigger! 🤣
10.) Spider Muffins
Another easy treat that can literally take seconds! Grab yourself some fresh muffins from your bakery of choice and head straight to your local sweet shop to pick up some liquorice laces.
Once home, stick the laces into the muffin to make the spider’s legs. For eyes, either use Nerds in the US or Millions in the UK. If you can’t get either, use a berry or coloured icing ball. This will then transform these into one of the creepiest Halloween food ideas to try.
11.) Virgin Bloody Mary
With not a drop of alcohol in sight (unless you want), you can produce a Virgin Bloody Mary. A tomato-based cocktail that includes lashings of Worcester Sauce, Tabasco and a few pinches of salt and pepper.
Finish with a fresh slice of lemon and Vodka if you want to make an adults version. Serve with a big stick of celery. Now, it might not look like one of the scariest Halloween food ideas but it’s totally yummy!

The Treat That Turned Into an Accidental Trick – Now I Know
October is a very spooky month. Well, not really — it’s just a regular month and, really, is not any more spooky than March or August. But October ends with Halloween, so it is as good of a time as any for us to find ways to make things a little scarier than they would otherwise be. Usually, that comes in the form of decorations — we carve pumpkins, wear costumes, and maybe even adorn our houses with fake cobwebs or things that resemble what ghosts would look like if ghosts were real. It’s all in good fun.
But what happens when fake, good-natured scariness celebrations turn into real scares? That’s bad. Just as Burger King.
That, pictured above is Burger King’s signature hamburger, the Whopper. It’s a four-ounce (precooked weight) beef burger adorned with mayo, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and ketchup, with cheese as a common additional ingredient, all positioned on a sesame seed bun. It’s not healthy for you, obviously, especially if you ignore the nutritional information. It’s just a regular fast-food burger with an iconic name. Nothing about it is particularly scary.
But the Halloween season requires everything to become a little more spooky, right? So in October 2015, Burger King decided it was time to frighten up the Whooper. The result looked like this.
That was the Halloween Whopper. It is also a four-ounce (precooked weight) beef burger adorned with mayo, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and ketchup, with cheese as a common additional ingredient, all positioned on a sesame seed bun. But — get this! — they died the bun black. Scary, right?
Okay, it’s not that scary. It’s just another fun and fright-free way to celebrate the Halloween season. No one who would have eaten a regular Whopper is going to say “nah, this new Halloween Whopper scares me too much. ” Or, at least, it didn’t on the way in. But what about on the way out? That proved different. As CBC News reported, ” special treat comes with a surprising trick — ghoulishly green poop.”
Shortly after eating these scary sliders, dozens of people went on Twitter to share their gastrointestinal adventures. Some were not all that positive about the experience; for example, one guy attested that “yesterday I had the Halloween Whopper… Today my poop is green,” and then noted that “yesterday was the last time I’ll have the Halloween Whopper.” Others were excited about the adventure; one person triumphantly stated “I ate a Halloween whopper just to see if my poop turned green and it DID.” Some described their poops; for example, there’s one guy who said his “stool was as green as the Irish countryside after a quenching rain.” Some even shared pictures of their doodies: the next link is going to be one that will show you what was in some random person’s toilet, so please take caution before clicking, okay? Great: here’s the link to someone’s green number two. And while many saw Burger King’s Halloween Whopper as a marketing stunt gone awry, at least one person saw it as a great idea, just poorly timed; he asked “[do] you think Burger King will bring back the #greenpoop for St. Patrick’s Day?”
They probably could have safely. CBS News spoke with Dr. Ian Lustbader, a professor of medicine and a gastroenterologist at New York University, and the best guess is that Burger King just used a lot of food dye. Per that CBS News report, “food coloring is not always completely absorbed by the intestines during digestion, and the dye that isn’t absorbed can seep into food material that’s sitting in the gut, turning it different colors. USA Today echoed that same sentiment, noting that “other dyes, like those in cake frosting, can deliver the same outcome. If you eat mass quantities of bright foods (beets, tomatoes or leafy greens) you might also notice a greater spectrum in your rectal rainbow.” Eat a lot of it — either too often or all at once — and sure, bad things can happen. But you’d have to eat a lot of Halloween Whoppers for the dye to do you in (and the saturated fat and calories would probably get you first).
But odd-colored stool can be a sign of something very serious, so as marketing stunts go, this wasn’t a great one. (Turning your customers’ toilet-going moments into a brief panic at best and a trip to the doctor at worst isn’t a great idea.) That Halloween Whopper didn’t make a return trip to Burger King’s menu in October — or March — of 2016.
Bonus fact: If you’re eating sushi in the United States, chances are you are eating food dye when you eat wasabi. Actually, no, you’re not eating wasabi at all. Wasabi is a type of plant that requires very specific growing conditions and, therefore, is not cultivated at scale. So unless you’re in Japan, whatever you’re eating isn’t actually wasabi. As the Washington Post explains, “what sushi restaurants actually serve alongside spicy tuna rolls is a horseradish-based concoction that is injected with green food coloring, infused with various types of mustard, and, often even, a bunch of other chemicals. ”

Treated our pups great!
They brought our pups ice water & made sure to put in an order of a chicken breast without seasoning for our sweet pups. Their food was good, especially the Haunted Burger. The Hauntarita was good but the Bloody was loaded but small & not spicy at all, good thing my husband married a bartender so I spiced it up nice for him. All the servers stopped by to give belly scratches, we felt welcomed with the dogs.

We All Three Loved It
They were very crowded for a Wednesday afternoon, so I knew the food would be good. They said a 20-30 wait, but they texted me that our table was ready in about 10 minutes. and it was worth the wait

Caffrey Approved!
The patio is dog friendly, and Caffrey had her fresh water before her humans did. They grilled a chicken breast just for her, which disappeared in short order. On the human food side, the burgers were excellent – and HUGE! (Caffrey may have helped out with some of the burgers too!) The Moscow Mules were excellent 😊 And the view from the patio is outstanding!

Amazing!
We visited on a weekend in February and the whole town was packed! Prepare for that!! The restaurant was super busy, but they texted when a dog friendly table was ready. The food the delicious a land everyone was so nice to our dogs. We had three big dogs with us, which can be a nightmare in a crowded restaurant, so I was a little worried. But the staff was so nice and the dogs had plenty of room. They brought water for the dogs right away, and then brought a 2nd bowl so everyone could drink at the same time and they brought refills whenever the water ran low (even though I had a bottle of water for them). This place is worth the wait. I was very impressed with both the service and the food.

Good Food but…
Contrary to a few of the reviews on here I did not have a great experience. As we walked up to the building we saw a sign saying if you have a dog enter through the deck entrance over a stairwell. So we took the stairs that led down then up to the deck. We sat at a table after a few waitresses saw us but didn’t say anything. We were then approached by the manager (I believe) saying we didn’t check in and there was a wait and we shouldn’t have sat down. I then told him about he sign we saw and he declared there wasn’t a sign. I pointed to the sign I had seen and said I may have read it wrong and that I was sorry. He then stated that it’s not what That sign says. I apologized again and he gave us our menus (even though there was supposed to be a wait). The food was good but the service wasn’t great in the one that I sat a waitress snapped at a child for standing in the way and another waitress forget what a table ordered twice. Maybe it was a blue moon?

My humans loved their hamburgers and beer. But I got the better food when one of the staff gave me some duck jerky. Oh sweet mystery of life. At last I’ve found you.

terrible action from Burger King and Google against LG and Samsung – Association of Retailers of Ukraine

Daria Osik
New creative and interesting commercials of Ukrainian and foreign brands appear weekly. In this section, we collect the best.
Read Ukrainian language
Burger King
To celebrate Halloween, Burger King will be giving away free food with one terrible condition – you need to order it during the witching hour.
Every day before October 31st at 3am for an hour, a new free meal will appear in the Burger King app. Fast food lovers just had to download the app and wait for the offer. To promote this promotion, the brand has created a video showing exactly what time of the night spirits, ghosts and many obscure supernatural phenomena are most likely to appear. But if Burger King lovers dare to wake up at the scariest time of the day – 3:00 am on the scariest week of the year – they might encounter something truly paranormal: free burgers on the brand’s app.
Reebok
Reebok filmed a video in support of the brand’s new positioning. The new short film expands on the concept of “radical calm” and swipes through the Radicalm special women’s collection.
Young R&B star Joyce Rice and singer, model and actress Candice Craig starred in this video. The new film continues to support Reebok’s campaign to rethink its concept. In this video, the brand speaks to its audience through the singers, asking them the question: “Do these shoes look good on my feet” and ending with questions like “Where do my feet end and the earth begins?”
Puma
Puma continues its partnership with Ukrainian artists and, after a project with Ivan Dorn, released an advertisement for the new Suede Mayu sneakers featuring Alina Pash, which was shot by Kyiv-based director Artem Shapirenko. The video contains an excerpt from Alina’s new song, included in her new mini-album. And in the video series, the singer demonstrates that in new sneakers you can go for a walk, run, play sports, ride a bike, because their convenience and aesthetics will fit perfectly into everyday life.
Google
Google makes fun of LG and Samsung smartphones in its new video and lists 113 reasons to upgrade to its mid-range Pixel 5a smartphones. The video offers several good reasons to buy a phone – a call screen anti-spam feature, excellent integration with Google services, high-quality photos and a fancy lens. The video also shows that the devices can be used as a meat board when baking a pie. The video also subtly pokes fun at rivals LG and Samsung. It’s “the best phone to switch to if your old phone maker stops making phones” (LG stopped making phones in January) and Google is “known for making internet services” not for making washing machines .
Gap
Gap unveiled its holiday marketing campaign for love and kindness, based on the retail brand’s “Modern American Optimism” philosophy introduced in September 2020. In the one-minute clip, American singer Katy Perry lives through the morning in a classic Gap hoodie while filming the music video for her cover of The Beatles’ 1967 song “All You Need Is Love.”
As part of the campaign, Gap will donate $1 per Spotify stream of a new Perry cover up to $100,000 to Baby2Baby, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged children.

Terribly harmful and extremely tasty: 7 recipes for Kaliningraders who are not ready to say goodbye to McDonald’s
Terribly harmful and extremely tasty: 7 recipes for Kaliningraders who are not ready to say goodbye to McDonald’s
Photo: Klops archive
We continue to share recipes for every day dishes.
While the giants of the world’s fast food are leaving the country, Kaliningraders are crowding at the doors of the still-open McDonald’s. But you can cook not very healthy, but such delicious food at home – we found seven ideas.
1. Home Big Mac, instructions from the YouTube channel “Recipes for lazy people”
What do you need?
two burger buns,
two beef cutlets,
3 pickled cucumbers,
slice of cheddar cheese,
red onion quarter,
small iceberg lettuce,
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
each tablespoon of sweet mustard and canned pickle,
a pinch of dried garlic,
half teaspoon paprika,
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (apple or lemon juice can be substituted)
salt to taste.
How do we cook?
Finely chop a third of the head of iceberg lettuce, chop the onion into small cubes, cut the cucumber into rings. For the sauce in a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet mustard, garlic, paprika. Sprinkle with wine vinegar and brine, rub two pickled cucumbers. Mix everything thoroughly.
Cut the buns into three parts, fry each of them in a frying pan for 30 seconds – readiness is determined by golden color. Cutlets keep on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Big Mac: place the sauce, onion and lettuce alternately on the bottom and middle parts of the bun. We place cheese on the bottom layer, cucumber rings on the middle one. We complete the “pyramids” with fried cutlets, after which we combine everything into a single burger.
2. Chicken nuggets, instructions from the YouTube channel “Kitchen Recipes”
What do you need?
500 grams of chicken fillet,
3 tablespoons lemon juice,
4 garlic cloves,
chicken egg,
half cup breadcrumbs,
4 tablespoons vegetable oil,
salt, ground black pepper to taste.
How do we cook?
Cut the chicken fillet into several small pieces, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, add chopped garlic. Mix everything thoroughly. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with a little water – about 3-4 tablespoons.
Pour the breadcrumbs onto a flat plate – pour the chicken into them after dipping them in the egg mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up. Fry the nuggets on both sides until golden brown. When done, place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
3. Shrimp roll, recipe from the YouTube channel “Wife cooks”
How do we cook?
6-8 large prawns without heads,
100 grams iceberg lettuce,
quarter large onion,
chicken egg,
80 grams of wheat flour and breadcrumbs,
package of thin lavash,
pinch of salt,
frying oil,
4 tbsp garlic butter sauce,
tablespoon of lemon juice,
each teaspoon of soy sauce and sesame oil.
How do we cook?
Mix all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. We beat the egg into a cup, salt and stir. Lettuce leaves cut into thin strips, onion – thin half rings.
Defrost and clean shrimp in advance. When ready, roll them in succession in flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Fry over low heat until golden brown on each side.
Lubricate the middle of the lavash with the prepared sauce, put lettuce leaves, onions and ready-made shrimps on top. Additionally, grease with a small amount of sauce, wrap in a roll. We cut off the excess.
4. Fillet-o-fish, recipe from the YouTube channel “Homemade”
What do you need?
200 grams of cod,
each tablespoon of wheat flour and breadcrumbs,
chicken egg,
pickled cucumber,
slice of cheddar cheese,
two burger buns,
half teaspoon dried onion,
50 ml vegetable oil,
tablespoon of mayonnaise,
teaspoon of sour cream,
1/4 teaspoon dill,
salt to taste.
How do we cook?
Defrost cod. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, onion and dill. Cut the cucumber into small cubes, add to the sauce, mix everything thoroughly. Pour the oil into a frying pan, roll the cod fillet alternately in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
Throw the fish into a heated frying pan, hold for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat. When ready, transfer to a paper towel. We cut the roll in half, cover the bottom layer with melted cheese and cod. Generously grease the fish with sauce and cover with the second part of the burger.
5. Pita grik, recipe from the YouTube channel “Eat at Home”
What do you need?
one chicken fillet (can also use turkey),
150 milliliters of kefir,
three sprigs of mint and fresh cilantro,
3 cucumbers,
6 garlic cloves,
4 tablespoons of olive oil,
salt, pepper to taste,
two bell peppers,
three pits,
half a lemon.
How do we cook?
Pass two cucumbers through a grater, chop garlic, mint, cilantro. We combine everything with kefir, two tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Salt, pepper to taste, mix again. Cut the last cucumber into slices, bell pepper into rings.
Chicken fillet cut into strips, salt and pepper. Add three chopped garlic cloves, drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil and fry on both sides in a grill pan. After that, lightly brown the pita on it.
Open the warmed pita, put vegetables and chicken inside, pour sauce on top. Decorate with herbs before serving.
6. Apple pies, recipe from Family Kitchen YouTube channel
What do you need?
80 ml water,
150 grams butter,
300 grams of wheat flour,
chicken egg,
half a teaspoon each of salt and cinnamon,
57 grams of sugar,
half a tablespoon of vinegar 6%,
3 apples,
half lemon,
teaspoon starch.
How do we cook?
To make puff pastry, add salt, a teaspoon of sugar and vinegar to a bowl of water. Stir, break the egg and beat it with a fork until smooth. Rub the chilled butter into the bowl with flour. To prevent it from melting, quickly knead.
Combine the prepared mixture with butter and flour. Knead by hand for about two minutes. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to cool down. For the filling, peel the apples from the peel and seeds, cut into small pieces and transfer to a ladle. So that the fruit does not darken, pour lemon juice. Stir, add sugar and mix again.
Boil the apples on the stove for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the apples become soft. Keep on fire for another five minutes. Add water to the starch and mix so that there are no lumps.
Pour the fruit over the mixture and keep on the stove for another minute, season with cinnamon, leave to cool. Cut the dough into pieces and roll into a thin layer. We form rectangles: put the filling on one of the sides, level it with a spoon. After we cover with the second part of the dough, pinch the edges with a fork. We send blanks to the freezer.
Pour a lot of vegetable oil into a frying pan with high edges, put on fire. Readiness is determined by a piece of dough – it should float and begin to fry. Gently lower the pies and fry on both sides until golden brown, then transfer to a paper towel.
7. McFlury, instructions from the Bon Appetit YouTube channel
Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the seeds from the inside – they will need to be mixed in a saucepan with milk and cream. We send the saucepan to the fire, bring to a boil and immediately remove.
We filter everything through a sieve. We shift the ice cream into a bowl, add six tablespoons of the milk-cream mixture to it, beat with a submersible blender. Using a pastry bag, we shift the ice cream into glasses, send it briefly to the freezer.
Decorate mcfluries with sweets before serving. We try different combinations: chocolate topping with chopped nuts, caramel sauce with dragees, strawberry topping with chocolate balls.

Voronezh | A terrible crush formed in the queue for free Timati burgers in Voronezh
Photo: bloknot-voronezh. ru
Voronezh residents compared the behavior of people with animals.
Today, on July 30, Timati’s burger shop was officially opened in the capital of the Chernozem Region. The rapper personally came to Voronezh to distribute free fast food. The event was originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m., but on the opening day it was rescheduled for two hours.
A crowd of thousands of Voronezh residents gathered on the square near the puppet theater, wishing to get a free burger and see their idol. Timati himself went out to the public at about 18:00, and during the distribution of food, real madness began – people literally began to crush each other.
At the same time, the guards pushed the crowd away. Voronezh residents compared the behavior of their fellow countrymen with animals.
– I’m ashamed of such behavior, it’s just awful. For the sake of a free roll, they are ready to crush each other, even in such heat, – one of the townspeople told the correspondent of Notebook Voronezh.

The consistency for cutlets is good, nothing fell apart, fried in a pan. I put together an ordinary burger, and it was not tasty: dry (the sauce was a little present), salty and bland, although the smell of mushrooms is pleasant. The husband did not eat, he said it was not tasty. I mastered half, and forgive me, then I was terribly swollen for half a day (
No, I will definitely not buy this product again.

Cool!
More such products! The mixture is very convenient for cooking and the burgers are really tasty, with an interesting rich original taste, and not bland, as is often the case with similar products. They keep their shape well, they even fried on the grill, nothing fell apart!

Ordered to try. I thought it would be just like a real burger patty, but…
Cooking this patty from the mix was not stable, maybe it’s my fault
Didn’t really like the taste. Salty, what an incomprehensible aftertaste. Amateur

On July 25, Dmitry Zakhodyakin opened his fourth place with the article The. On Podil, in The Burger Mexico restaurant, they are now serving Mexican food. This is the third restaurant designed by Slava Balbek and, perhaps, the first modern Mexican restaurant in the city.
In the new establishment, you should try guacamole, tacos and quesadillas, as well as drink signature cocktails made with real 100% agave tequila.
The audience of The Burger Mexico is distinctly different from the first Burger. The Podolsk audience is intellectual and creative, progressive youth, there are good universities around, as well as the already existing infrastructure of drinking establishments. If The Burger is a nationwide trend, then not every citizen of Kiev is ready for Mexican food. It is expected that people will come for a new product that is not yet available anywhere. And for conservatives, there is the usual burger menu. An important detail – the institution is open around the clock.
Idea
Mexican cuisine is popular all over the world, now this trend has reached Ukraine. Within six months, according to the creators, burritos, tacos and quesadillas will flood our city to replace burgers.
At the beginning of the construction of a new restaurant (in the first idea – another The Burger on Podil), Alina and Dima went to Mexico for inspiration, taking with them a team of chefs. The main task was to find the real, tastiest traditional Mexican cuisine and choose the key dishes to work on in the new restaurant.
All the Mexican dishes in The Burger Mexico are the result of this trip, in particular, a visit to one of the restaurants in Playa del Carmen, which is very loved by the locals for proper Mexican food, despite the creepy interior and the format of the “diner”.
Interior
The Burger Mexico is located in a two-story building on the Lower Val. With the light hand of Slava Balbek and his team, now it has turned into a two-color and two-sided room with an internal terrace.
The design of The Burger, Balbek says, is design for food, not design for design. Here everything is monochromatic, shades and materials harmonizing with the environment, black and brick walls with open communications (pipes, beams, etc.), everything is simple and concise. Only after eating and relaxing, the guest pays attention to the details: the “tire” finish of the bar, a lot of metal, complex structures in the form of partitions between tables. On the table is steel with the effect of an open kitchen, as if the food is cooked almost in front of you. Almost all building materials are Ukrainian-made, including metal and flooring made from tiles.
The construction of the restaurant began in March: at that time, according to the plan, it was just another The Burger, only in Podil. The amendment to Mexico appeared already in the process of construction, however, by a funny coincidence, Balbek had already drawn cacti in the interior concept.
It is worth paying attention to the new burger logo – a burger pierced by an arrow is the final accent in the chain of “confessions” of each of The restaurants. Of course, you remember them all: “in burger we trust”, “in alcohol we trust”, now – “in tacos we trust”.

Menu
The menu includes the same burgers as in The Burger, as well as a Mexican menu – tacos, quesadillas, fajitas and burritos with chicken, beef and tuna. In starters – mini-burritos and tomato soup with beans. A nice bonus – when ordering any main dish for the company, they bring guacamole with nachos (corn chips). Finding the right avocado is a separate task, but the right supplier was found through a long selection process.
Almost everything else is local, except for the spices that The Burger team brought home from Mexico literally in their suitcases during an inspiring trip.
Tacos with beef – 140 UAH
Quesadilla with beef – 120 UAH
Quesadilla with chicken – 120 UAH
Drinks It contains hits from the first The Burger, as well as many new tequila-based cocktails.
Almost all “margaritas” are author’s, with orange jam, lychee, ginger, basil. All tequilas on the menu are made only from 100% agave spirits: Espolon, Milagro, Olmeca Altos. There is a special Olmeca Tezon in the bar menu – the main stages of production are not mechanized, but are done as in the old days: for example, the method of obtaining blue agave juice is based on the use of a press wheel made from the volcanic mineral Tezontle. For special connoisseurs, there is mezcal on the menu.
The difference between 100% agave and mixed tequila can be compared to the difference between single malt and blended whisky. A 100% taste is more interesting, better and thinner, while alcohol is clearly felt in a mixed drink.

Morning Margarita – 120 UAH
BASIL Margarita – 120 UAH

Reviews0002 Vegetarian street food on Bolshaya Podyacheskaya street. Zen Vegan specializes in burgers and rolls with vegan cutlets. According to the creators, each of them includes a secret ingredient from Tibetan monks. For dessert, they offer a Japanese cake in the form of a drop of water. It looks original, but the composition is very simple: mineral water and agar-agar with maple syrup and toasted soy flour. The institution has a separate room for meditation. Here they draw mandalas, arrange tea ceremonies, film screenings and play board games.

Tasty food
Small tables, poor situation.
Do not make friends with vegetarians))) They will teach you to eat meatless food. My friend took me to this bar and I absolutely loved the meatless burger!!! This is nonsense, because I am a hereditary meat-eater))) The situation here is, of course, poor, but this will not stop someone who wants a delicious burger.

Interior I suspect that it can be very slippery in winter or when it rains. and so on, so the first (and main for me) plus of Zen Vegan Burger – it smells delicious (!) – the light, unobtrusive smell of sticks warms up the appetite, and the friendly staff disposes to itself. As for burgers… they are really on top: there are different variations, so everyone will find something to their liking, I think even those who eat meat, because the taste and size are not inferior. May 04, 2017 Were with children, celebrated the DR, liked it very much

Description:
Hi! I am a stay at home mom who offers care to a couple of children in addition to my own 3 year old daughter. I believe whole heartedly in the individual attention and comfort that being in a home environmentprovides. Our days are spent learning through play, reading, pretend, creating and exploring our world outdoors. This is not a pulsating day care center that is constantly loud and going, going 24/7. This is a home. We also enjoy some down time to snack, relax and nap.
I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I have always had a natural rapport with children. I have never met a child that doesn’t respond to me. I really understand kids and make it my business to make sure they know they are loved, understood and appreciated for being uniquely, wonderful Them! I have been a mother for 19 years. I am also a former teacher at a Mommy & Me program where you learn through play and music. I was a very popular teacher there whose classes filled up immediately. I believe that young children learn through having fun and enjoying their environment. I am always signing, reading, and just plain fun. I give all children in my care plenty of eye contact, one on one attention, hugs and love.
I serve lots of fresh fruit and healthy, kid friendly meals. My home is very safe and chock full of games, dolls, trucks, make believe dress up, books, and fun! We love to be outdoors. I have a swing set, sandbox, water table, chalk, bubbles, sprinklers, ride on toys and a park around the corner. My backyard is totally fenced as well.
I am a very warm, loving, patient woman who will be a friend not just an employee. I like for families to feel a part of our family and home. If I am caring for your heart and soul all day, you should absolutely feel welcomed and able to come on in, anytime you please. If you would like to talk further with me or have some questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am always hopeful to build relationships that are mutually beneficial. Thanks for learning about me….

In 2015, Jennifer Brosnahan and Stepping Stones School-Age & Youth Program merged with Kera Lewis and Mother Little Helper Daycare and Group Home to form MLH Early Education Foundation. Our businesses mergedand created a structural foundation to include the whole child. Since Jennifer and Kera blended their original programs into one, the results are complimentary to each individual child and their unique family structure. Jennifer’s philosophy of teaching encourages youngsters to build their self-esteem and independence by giving them ownership over their time spent in the program. She runs a democracy, giving children appropriate options and allowing children to expand on their interests through project-based learning. The youth enrolled are given responsibilities and are accountable for their actions within the program and at home, developing them into leaders within the group. Jennifer’s favorite subjects revolve around natural science, open-ended art, and English. Kera’s philosophy of teaching focuses on the cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development of each child. With the creative use of basic American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish, Creative Curriculum, Ages & Stages assessment tool, and manipulatives (i. e. Lego bricks, puzzles, foam letters, numbers, and shapes, etc.), the children retain information for basic learning and use what is taught to progress into elementary school. The children are given opportunities to work together and solve problems, and are encouraged to try new things, establishing a sense of teamwork and building self-confidence as they develop their social skills and physical development….

Hello Dear Parents,
My name is Ana. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I decided to put my experience to use and open a home daycare with preschool teaching included. If kiddos get to spend all dayin my care, why not invest a couple of hours to teach them something valuable?
We have 5 kids total, one teacher (myself) and one full time assistant. We follow the same routine on a daily basis so kiddos know what to expect next. Our routine looks like this:
8-830am – drop off
830-9am – breakfast
9-1045am – learning time. Basic preschool activities: colors, shapes, numbers, letters, days of the week, arts and crafts, playdoh, painting and coloring.
1045 am – read story and eat snacks.
11am-12pm – free play
12-1230pm – lunch
1230-230pm – quiet/nap time
230-430pm – snacks, free play, packing for the day/ time for pick up.
PART TIME PRICING:
Up to 3 days/week – $250
FULL TIME PRICING:
4/5 days/week – $350
These prices are per child. Both part time and full time include homemade organic meals and organic snacks. Its a very laid back and relaxing environment which is what we aim for by keeping it a small group of kids only. Less kiddos also means less exposure to sicknesses where a larger group day cares come with. If you think your little one/s would enjoy to learn, play and socialize with a few friends, please reach out to schedule a meet and tour!

Hello parents,
My name is Alexis Smith and I will be your babies new lead teacher. I myself am a mother of 2;
MaKyenna who’s 8 and Xzavier who will soon be 3. I started my career with children early by
babysitting at the young age of 7. From there I took off and knew I wanted to advance in
childcare. It began at Joliet Central where I started my classes with parenting and childcare. I
then graduated high school and began my undergraduate career in 2010. I furthered my
education at an HBCU college in Frankfort, Kentucky at Kentucky State University. There I was
a declared major in education studying Child Development and Family Relations. Because of
my passion for infants and teaching, I didn’t stop there. While at Kentucky State University, I
began mentoring children in elementary school through high school in which I also enjoyed. For
me it was truly a learning experience which also helped me to know my niche and purpose.
Needlessly to say no matter what endeavor I’ve sought after I’ve always come back to teaching
infants and I wouldn’t change it.

from 165.3 sq.m. Kindergartens help parents in this matter, in particular, the Belochka kindergarten is of particular importance for the residents of the village of Kurumoch and nearby settlements. This institution has two buildings. The first is located at: st. Zhigulevskaya, d. 1 A, the second – Lenin Ave., 10.
Both divisions are located in the center of Kurumoch, away from the main streets and enterprises, in an ecologically clean area, which is important for the safety and health of children. Working hours of kindergartens: from 7.00 to 19.00 on weekdays. Saturday, Sunday and public holidays are days off. Both buildings are ready to receive 12 groups. The total occupancy is more than 340 children aged 1.5 to 7 years.
The institution has four meals a day, according to the established regime. At the same time, for every 10 days, the menu is separately approved in accordance with the age category of the children. The daily diet includes: dairy products, meat and fish dishes, eggs. These foods are essential for the proper growth of children. Also, as part of the prevention of iodine deficiency, only iodized salt is used in food.
Kindergarten provides many fundamental foundations for the further development of children: it is socialization, the formation of a positive attitude towards work, the development of cognitive interests, the formation of the foundations of security, mastering the means of communication, art, music and reading.
Thanks to the competent work of educators and teachers, many students of the Belochka kindergarten are prize-winners and winners of district, regional and all-Russian competitions: “The First Spring Festival”, “Dedication to the Defenders of the Fatherland”, “Oh, you are a wide carnival”, “ Winter visiting a fairy tale”, “Forward to the stars”, “Rising Star”, etc.
Against the backdrop of general development programs, the kindergarten works in two priority areas:
physical culture and sports;
artistic and aesthetic.
Within the framework of the first direction, the section “Young Basketball Player” successfully operates in the kindergarten, in which more than 30 children are involved. The tasks of physical education are carried out in the constant interaction of pedagogical and medical personnel. As part of the second direction, the guys attend the circle “Colored Hands”, “Crazy Hands” and “Rainbow”. These sections are attended by more than 280 children.
Regularly carried out:
– morning exercises;
– measures to harden the body (walking on massage mats, water and air procedures)
– music and rhythm classes;
– outdoor games during walks;
– gymnastics after sleep;
– finger gymnastics;
– point massage.
Entertaining holidays are regularly held in the kindergarten. On March 8 and February 23, the children happily prepare gifts for their beloved parents. On New Year’s Eve, Santa Claus visits the kindergarten with sweet treats. Do not remain without festive concerts and all other memorable dates. For example, on September 1, a sports festival dedicated to the Day of Knowledge was held in kindergarten. The Queen of Knowledge and Baba Yaga came to visit the children. Fun and provocatively passed the competition between the two teams “Toons” and “Kuklyashki”. Friendship won! And how solemn and entertaining graduation parties are! The guys sing songs and show entertaining creative numbers. Much attention is paid to sports days and patriotic holidays.
In the spring, the guys make their own effigy of Maslenitsa and spend a fun holiday of seeing off Winter. Students regularly visit museums and also organize historical exhibitions.
Many activities in the kindergarten have already become a tradition. Moving “Health Days” are regularly held with invited guests: Gryaznulkin and the Fairy of Purity.
Tea parties with the participation of children and parents. Thematic weeks on the rules of the road and a healthy lifestyle.
As well as thematic exhibitions. For example, autumn nature allows you to make unusual crafts.
Children enjoy visiting local natural sites. For example, children of the senior preparatory group go hiking to the Kurumka River every summer. Here the children admire the beauties of their native nature, play funny games, sing songs and guess riddles.
The territory of the kindergarten, which is beautifully landscaped with trees, shrubs, lawns and flower beds, also contributes to the comprehensive development of children. Each group has its own area, where gazebos, sandboxes, playground equipment, sheds, etc. are located.
Groups are equipped with functional furniture, as well as educational and play equipment, in accordance with the age category of children. The kindergarten has all the necessary technical equipment: computers, scanners, filmoscopes, tape recorders, TVs, music centers, karaoke. In addition to the groups themselves, each building is equipped with rooms for group classes, a music and sports hall, and a medical unit.
I would like to pay special attention to the teaching staff of the kindergarten. A greater number of employees have higher and secondary specialized education with more than 10 years of work experience and qualification category I. Moreover, many employees have differences:
badge “Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation” – 1 person
Honorary Diploma of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation – 4 people
It should also be noted that 18 people work in the preschool educational institution, awarded:
Diploma of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Samara Region – 1 person
Honorary Diploma of the Administration of the municipal district Volzhsky – 1 person
Diplomas of the Samara regional organization of the trade union of workers of public education and science of the Russian Federation – 4 people
Best Manager 2009 – 1 person
Diploma of the Volga Region Department of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Samara Region – 1 person
Honorary Diplomas of the head of the rural settlement of the village of Kurumoch – 4 people.
Diplomas of the Samara Provincial Duma – 6 people.
Kindergarten operates in close cooperation with the secondary school named after. A.I. Kuznetsov, a children’s clinic, a recreation center “Zhiguli”, a children’s art school and a play center for early development “Little Genius”. After students graduate, preschool specialists keep in touch with primary school teachers. Which, in turn, note in children a high level of educational activity and a great potential for intellectual and organizational abilities. Most of the children, after graduating from kindergarten, study “excellent” and “good”.

What is a Contract Specialist?
Contract specialists must be skilled in negotiation and legal terminology. Learn more about a contract specialist job description as well as contract specialist qualifications and salary information.
What Does a Contract Specialist Do?
Contract specialists are often called purchasing managers, directors, or agents, though the term contract specialist also refers to positions available at government agencies and manufacturing firms. These professionals act as shrewd negotiators and work to achieve the best possible deal for an organization, as well as supervise contractors’ performances to ensure that the stipulations of the contract are being met.
Contract Specialist Job Description
Contract specialist duties include creating, examining, and monitoring contractual agreements between the organization that he or she works for and materials or labor suppliers. Part of the job of a contract specialist is being aware of legislative and regulatory issues that may be related to the contracts you are overseeing. You might have to make revisions to contracts if new laws and regulations are established, or if old laws and regulations are changed or otherwise modified. Another important element of a contract specialist’s job involves building relationships with trusted vendors and keeping a detailed list of possible contractors that may be needed for any given situation.
Important Facts About Contract Specialists
Work Environment
Full-time, often in an office for a government agency
Key Skills

Training
Defense Acquisition University training courses (for U.S. Department of Defense Contracts Specialists)
A bachelor’s degree is the typical education needed for employment as an entry-level contract specialist, and many fields of study are considered acceptable. Some contract specialist programs are available online. However, you are not always required to have earned a bachelor’s degree as long as you’ve taken at least 24 credit hours in areas like business, economics, law, contracts, or a similar field. For those interested in growing their career or in higher levels of professional employment, graduate education and prior work experience may be helpful in career advancement. On-the-job training is also fairly common for people in this field.
Voluntary certification also is available through agencies like the Federal Acquisition Institute. To earn Federal Acquisition Certification-Contracting (FAC-C), you’ll need to meet education, training, and experience requirements. Other organizations involved in certification of those in this profession include the American Purchasing Society, Next Level Purchasing Association, and the Universal Public Procurement Certification Council.
Contract Specialist Salary and Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, purchasing agents and buyers made a mean yearly wage of $67,530, while purchasing managers earned $125,630 annually as of May 2018 (www. bls.gov). Purchasing managers who work in oil and gas extraction have the highest mean annual salary of $156,030. The states with the highest level of employment of purchasing managers are California, Texas, Illinois, New York, and Florida. Employment of purchasing managers, buyers, and agents is expected to decline by 3% in the 2016 to 2026 decade. This is partially because some features of procurement work is able to be automated.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs similar to purchasing managers include financial managers, logisticians, and wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives.

What is a contract specialist? Responsibilities and requirements
Why would a company hire a contract specialist?
At their core, contracts are essentially promises that exist on paper, or nowadays, in-browser; but they’re fundamental to so many functions of the business. In high-growth industries like B2B SaaS, they’re the mechanism by which recurring revenue is recognized. Finance can’t forecast without them, nor can risk and compliance functions evaluate the company’s risk profile.
With so many competing interests around contracts, it’s understandable why a company might hire a specialist to straddle the legal, procurement, sales, HR, finance and operations teams, helping to keep processes moving and taking ownership of the contract pipeline and repository.
Similarly, manual processes still plague contract creation, collaboration and management, with companies often using a mixture of Word, email, shared drives and eSignature to agree and store contracts. The amount of work involved in maintaining this process across multiple systems, and perhaps integrating them with additional systems of record like CRM, can make it seem sensible to employ someone full-time to handle it.
Does your company need a contract specialist?
As a GC considering their next hire, or a COO wondering which operations competencies to hire next, the slightly unhelpful answer to this question is ‘it depends’. It depends on the specifics of your company – what kind of contracts you primarily deal with, what the pain points are, and how well resourced your legal or legal operations teams are. The rise of legal ops as its own team or even function mean there’s often a mandate for roles related to legal that focus solely on process (as opposed to advising on legal matters and risk).
However, a contract specialist might not be the right choice in the long term. If contract volumes are growing, and you hire a contract specialist role to deal with the increase in manual process that comes with increased volume, then if volumes keep growing, you’ll need another contract specialist.
Instead of building out the manual, unscalable process, it would be better to use automation to remove manual work from the contracts process entirely, enabling business colleagues to self-serve their contract needs, rather than needing specialist headcount to support them.
All too often we see companies that find themselves caught between a digital solution for one function (like sales) and a manual process for another (like legal). This often results in a contract specialist, originally hired for their expertise with legal terms and conditions, spending the majority of their time maintaining a Salesforce integration and never getting to do any high-value work.
Instead of building out the manual, unscalable process, it would be better to use automation to remove manual work from the contracts process entirely
How to scale contracts without a contract specialist
If you don’t want to invest in a contract specialist to support a manual process, you can use browser-based automation to enable business colleagues to self-serve on the legal documents they need to drive business growth. Here’s how to do it.
Create templates
The legal team, or external counsel if you’re yet to hire an in-house team, creates the templates from which business colleagues can generate their own contracts. The terms and language of these templates should be optimized to encourage signing and to minimize negotiation, to reduce friction in the workflow.
Self-serve contracts
Colleagues who need a contract can use a simple, natural language Q&A flow to generate the contract they need. Juro customers often start with high-volume, low-complexity contracts like NDAs, MSAs or employment offer letters.
Collaborate in-browser
To reduce the time cost and painful manual process involved in moving between Word, email and cloud platforms, use a browser-based contracts platform like Juro that will let you handle negotiation with counterparties online. With single sign-on, colleagues can do this directly, rather than needing a contract specialist. This also preserves a digital audit trail of what changes were made and by whom.
Secure eSignature
Use a secure digital signature, like Juro’s native eSignature, to agree contracts online via desktop, laptop or any mobile device. This ensures that business colleagues (and their customers) don’t need to meet in person or exchange physical correspondence to agree contracts, making it faster and easier to close deals or hire new employees.
Track contract analytics
To make sure contract workflow progresses smoothly and quickly, it’s important to monitor analytics to spot bottlenecks and pain points in the contract process. Reporting on these metrics also helps legal or legal operations teams to show improvements to their managers, and make the business case for additional headcount or investment in technology.
If you decide to go down the route of self-serve, rather than hiring a contract specialist, it’s important to choose a contract automation platform that’s user-friendly. If software imposed on commercial colleagues is too complex, it won’t be adopted and contracts will revert to a messy, manual, opaque way of working.
Independent reviews consistently find Juro to be easier to use than its competitors – if you want to forego the contract specialist role for an intuitive software solution, hit the button below and find out how we can help you to automate routine contracts at scale.

Contract Specialist Duties | Work
By Andra Picincu Updated September 25, 2020
A career as a contract specialist is ideal for assertive, detail-oriented individuals with strong negotiation skills. Government contract specialist training may be provided on the job for interns and new employees. As you gain experience, you may be asked to draft and negotiate new or specialized contracts and take on more responsibility.
Becoming a Contract Specialist
Contract specialists are responsible for drafting, editing and reviewing contractual agreements between an organization and vendors, suppliers and other third parties. Depending on the job, they may also develop procurement proposals, build relationships with reliable vendors and facilitate salary negotiations. Their primary role is to ensure that clients adhere to contractual obligations.
The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) points out that contract specialists work under the guidance of a contracting officer. This profession requires a good knowledge of regulatory and legislative issues. New employees often start out as contract specialists and then move up to higher positions, such as contract officers or administrators, project officers, procurement analysts and more.
Most employers seek candidates with a bachelor’s degree in law, business management or a related field. A government contract specialist’s resume that mentions a master’s degree and work experience is more likely to get noticed. However, some organizations only require a high school diploma and several years of hands-on experience in the field.
The FAI’s Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting Program (FAC-C) can increase your chances of being employed by the government. It has three certification levels and covers topics like contract planning and pricing, legal considerations in contracting, negotiation and acquisition law. Applicants must have one to four years of experience in contract work to enter the program.
Government Contract Specialist Job Description
Government agencies often work with private-sector organizations, suppliers and contractors. For example, they may hire construction companies to build new roads or restore old buildings. Contract specialists who work for the government are in charge of drafting contracts and negotiating prices between the parties involved. These professionals may also be asked to solve disputes between contractors and government agencies, evaluate bids, cancel or modify contracts, and maintain relationships with vendors.
A job listing posted by the U.S. Forest Service states that contract specialists (GS-11) may need to answer questions from bidders, approve or reject special requests and supervise other employees. Their day-to-day duties may also include developing budgets, training staff and monitoring employee performance. The ideal candidate should have strong communication skills and in-depth knowledge in math, accounting, business and contract law.
The grade level assigned to this role determines how much you’ll get paid, as well as your level of responsibility. Most contract specialists working for the federal government advance from GS-5 to GS-9 and GS-11. New employees (GS-5) receive on-the-job training and work under the guidance of a more experienced contract specialist. Those who advance to GS-9 may assist with contract writing, select bidders, monitor contract work and check bids for completeness.
A government contract specialist’s salary is calculated based on the General Schedule (GS) payscale. Experienced contract specialists (GS-11) earn a base salary of $55,204 to $71,764 per year, reports the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Those who are new to this profession will start as a GS-5 and earn $30,113 to $39,149 per year. The more experience you have, the higher the pay. GS-9 employees make around $45,627 to $59,316, according to the same source.

While it may not be the most important skill, we found that many contracts specialist duties rely on math skills. This example from a contracts specialist explains why: “purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents must possess math skills.” This resume example is just one of many ways contracts specialists are able to utilize math skills: “provided daily statistics of requisitions and purchase orders. “
Contracts specialists are also known for negotiating skills, which can be critical when it comes to performing their duties. An example of why this skill is important is shown by this snippet that we found in a contracts specialist resume: “purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents often must negotiate the terms of a contract with a supplier” We also found this resume example that details how this skill is put to the test: “assisted corporate counsel in negotiating hospital contracts and group insurance renewals for bcbsnca hmo affiliate. “

We found that 61.9% of contracts specialists have graduated with a bachelor’s degree and 13.5% of people in this position have earned their master’s degrees. While most contracts specialists have a college degree, you may find it’s also true that generally it’s possible to be successful in this career with only a high school degree. In fact, our research shows that one out of every eight contracts specialists were not college graduates.
Those contracts specialists who do attend college, typically earn either business degrees or accounting degrees. Less commonly earned degrees for contracts specialists include political science degrees or management degrees.

What Senior Contract Administrator/Contract Administrators Do
A Senior Contract Administrator evaluates, negotiates, and prepares contracts for projects, services, or goods. A Contract Administrator performs various administrative duties that are essential to the successful management and execution of contracts on behalf of organizations.
We looked at the average contracts specialist annual salary and compared it with the average of a senior contract administrator/contract administrator. Generally speaking, senior contract administrators/contract administrators receive $1,852 higher pay than contracts specialists per year.
While their salaries may differ, one common ground between contracts specialists and senior contract administrators/contract administrators are a few of the skills required in each craft. In both careers, employees bring forth skills like contract documents, dod, and contract terms.
These skill sets are where the common ground ends though. A contracts specialist responsibility is more likely to require skills like “veterans,” “customer service,” “market research,” and “acquisition strategy.” Whereas a senior contract administrator/contract administrator requires skills like “procedures,” “proposal preparation,” “legal requirements,” and “government regulations.” Just by understanding these different skills you can see how different these careers are.
Senior contract administrators/contract administrators receive the highest salaries in the finance industry coming in with an average yearly salary of $97,980. But contracts specialists are paid more in the government industry with an average salary of $81,199.
On average, senior contract administrators/contract administrators reach similar levels of education than contracts specialists. Senior contract administrators/contract administrators are 2.9% more likely to earn a Master’s Degree and 0.0% less likely to graduate with a Doctoral Degree.
What Are The Duties Of a Specialist-Small Business?
A small business specialist develops new business programs to meet changing customer demands. They are responsible for ensuring integrity and consistency in the domain of business. They analyze causes of a business issue, obtain business data, and make enquiries. They are responsible for making purchase agreements, confidentiality arrangements, and joint venture arrangement.
Now we’re going to look at the specialist-small business profession. On average, specialist-small businesses earn a $8,591 higher salary than contracts specialists a year.
Not everything about these jobs is different. Take their skills, for example. Contracts specialists and specialist-small businesses both include similar skills like “customer service,” “business administration,” and “small businesses” on their resumes.
But both careers also use different skills, according to real contracts specialist resumes. While contracts specialist responsibilities can utilize skills like “contract documents,” “veterans,” “dod,” and “contract terms,” some specialist-small businesses use skills like “financial needs,” “customer relationships,” “business development,” and “sales goals. ”
When it comes to the differences in education between the two professions, specialist-small businesses tend to reach lower levels of education than contracts specialists. In fact, they’re 5.5% less likely to graduate with a Master’s Degree and 0.0% less likely to earn a Doctoral Degree.
How a Contracting Officer Compares
In government agencies, a Contracting Officer plays a vital role in securing contracts for different projects. They are responsible for liaising with internal and external parties, conducting research and analyses, developing plans to attain project requirements, negotiating contracts, and procuring materials according to standards. They are also responsible for supervising the administrative processes related to the deals, from planning to execution, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Moreover, it is essential to function as a contracting officer while adhering to government policies and regulations.
The contracting officer profession generally makes a lower amount of money when compared to the average salary of contracts specialists. The difference in salaries is contracting officers making $3,720 lower than contracts specialists.
While looking through the resumes of several contracts specialists and contracting officers we discovered that both professions have similar skills. These similarities include skills such as “contract documents,” “dod,” and “contract terms,” but they differ when it comes to other required skills.
There are many key differences between these two careers as shown by resumes from each profession. Some of those differences include the skills required to complete responsibilities within each role. As an example of this, a contracts specialist is likely to be skilled in “veterans,” “customer service,” “business administration,” and “purchase orders,” while a typical contracting officer is skilled in “procedures,” “contractor proposals,” “clearance,” and “facility.”
Contracting officers make a very good living in the government industry with an average annual salary of $82,685. Whereas contracts specialists are paid the highest salary in the government industry with the average being $81,199.
When it comes to education, contracting officers tend to earn higher education levels than contracts specialists. In fact, they’re 5.6% more likely to earn a Master’s Degree, and 1.0% more likely to graduate with a Doctoral Degree.
Description Of a Subcontract Administrator
As a subcontract administrator, you will be responsible for identifying the needs of a company and implement measures and initiatives to fulfill those needs. This role will require you to perform a few tasks, including responding to purchase requisitions, soliciting bids and proposals from new and existing sources, and evaluating terms and awarding the subcontract. You are then expected to monitor the subcontract terms, including plans, progress, and payments. You will also be responsible for negotiating additions, modifications, and deletions of subcontracts.
The fourth career we look at typically earns higher pay than contracts specialists. On average, subcontract administrators earn a difference of $1,959 higher per year.
While both contracts specialists and subcontract administrators complete day-to-day tasks using similar skills like contract documents, dod, and contract terms, the two careers also vary in other skills.
Even though a few skill sets overlap, there are some differences that are important to note. For one, a contracts specialist might have more use for skills like “veterans,” “customer service,” “contract management,” and “acquisition strategy.” Meanwhile, some subcontract administrators might include skills like “procedures,” “subcontract specifications,” “project management,” and “subcontractor” on their resume.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the financials in each career. The technology industry tends to pay more for subcontract administrators with an average of $84,146. While the highest contracts specialist annual salary comes from the government industry.
The average resume of subcontract administrators showed that they earn similar levels of education to contracts specialists. So much so that the likelihood of them earning a Master’s Degree is 0.4% less. Additionally, they’re less likely to earn a Doctoral Degree by 2.9%.

Marketing Engineer Education and Training
Contract specialists have a bachelor’s degree. Employers like to see candidates with degrees in business administration or law. Depending on the industry, employers might like to see candidates with advanced degrees.

What kind of employee it is
Contract work is an important part of the activity for any company. In order to achieve business goals and minimize risks, it is important to clearly regulate the procedures for interacting with counterparties – service customers and suppliers. Competent execution of the duties of a contract manager prevents risky transactions, helps to avoid financial losses. Results of incompetent deals:
infringement of the rights of one of the parties to the agreement;
cooperation with an unscrupulous counterparty;
recognition of the contract as invalid;
lengthy litigation;
losses.
There are two ways of doing this:
staff member working directly in the company;
third party, providing services under contracts on outsourcing.
In the EKSD and the collection of professional standards there is no description of positions and professions with a similar name. The activity of a full-time employee depends on the goals and objectives of the company and is fixed by the instruction. In some organizations, a whole contract department is formed.
Each company independently determines the functional responsibilities of the contract specialist in the state. An employee, in various combinations of functions, may be assigned:
verification of counterparties and conclusion of agreements;
Employers currently form the qualification requirements for a specialist in contract work on their own.
Education and qualification requirements
It is generally accepted that contracting activities are entrusted to employees with a legal education. At present, basic education can be non-specialized, such as economics. The main thing is the availability of sufficient qualifications, that is, additional education in the form of professional retraining (advanced training) and practical experience (industry or professional). The position of a specialist is described in detail in the draft professional standard “Legal Counsel”, which has been under discussion since 2020. The functionality is regulated by the generalized labor function 3.2 – the section can be used as a methodological aid in the preparation of the job description. This also applies to education, practical experience and conditions of admission.
What are his responsibilities
All responsibilities are fixed in the instruction “Standard structure of the organization’s local regulatory act” (the list and titles of sections are determined independently):
I. General provisions.
II. Responsibilities.
III. Rights.
IV. A responsibility.
Specialist in contractual activities in accordance with the draft professional standard performs the following functional duties.
When developing an agreement with a counterparty, each function is detailed down to the specific actions necessary for its implementation, the required knowledge and skills are listed. For example, when developing a document, three main steps are required.
The section of the job description describing the job responsibilities of a specialist is as follows.
Sometimes a part of the organization’s contracts is separated into a separate category for maintenance, for example, contracts with contractors. They are entrusted to economists who know the specifics of preparing estimates in construction, the rules for financing, conducting and delivering stages. The duties of a specialist are described a little differently.
Rights and Responsibilities
To solve an extensive list of tasks, perform direct duties, a specialist in work with counterparties of any rank is vested with the necessary rights and is responsible to the employer and the law.

This is what the new protected area looks like in summer

A new specially protected natural area (SPNA) of local importance has been created in Perm – the Southern Forest Ecological Park. It is located between the Dynamo sports base and Bratskaya Street in the interfluve of the Bolshaya and Malaya Iva.
Dmitry Andreev, head of the city department for ecology and nature management, spoke about the creation of a new protected area. According to him, the area of the “Southern Forest” will be 218.7 hectares. Part of this territory was previously planned to be given for the construction of a zoo, but in the end a site in the Industrial District of Perm was chosen for it. Now the section between Dynamo and Bratskaya is being returned to the city forests.
— The site has a natural value: ecosystems of dark coniferous forests rare for the city, forests of high conservation value, high recreational value. The territory is actively used by the residents of the city of Perm for recreation and sports,” said Andreev. — This year we plan to develop a concept for the recreational and environmental development of the Southern Forest, aimed at developing recreation areas for residents and protecting valuable ecosystems.
There are 25 specially protected natural territories in Perm, of which two are of regional importance, 23 are of local importance. The total area is 13,235.3 hectares, or 16.6% of the city’s territory.
Previously, the valleys of the Danilikha and Yegoshikha rivers received the status of specially protected natural areas.

Reforestation projects in the USSR and Russia
In the USSR, special attention was paid to forestry. In many ways, care for him was associated with the acute problem of the devastation of fertile lands and famine. Solving this problem, the country not only cultivated crops. It was also necessary to strengthen the soil and retain moisture with the help of trees and shrubs. How was reforestation organized in the USSR? What is the relevance of the new project of the ECA Movement “Southern Forest Belt of Russia”?
Reforestation before the 1950s
In the 20th century, during the wars, the area of forests in the European part of the USSR decreased by 7-8 million hectares. This is almost twice the area of the Moscow region. Uncontrolled felling led to the fact that in 1925 in the western part of the USSR forests occupied only 6-7% of the total area. In the steppe and forest-steppe regions of the European part of the USSR (the Volga region, Western Kazakhstan, the North Caucasus, Ukraine), droughts began to recur, and dry winds, hot dry winds, more actively penetrated deep into the country from Kazakhstan and caused great damage to agriculture. Severe Drought 1921 years provoked a famine that lasted several years.
Brown arrows – dry winds, green stripes – plan of forest belts, red dashed lines – canals
drought is a matter of paramount importance. In August 1923, the Forest Code was put into effect in the USSR.
In accordance with the Constitution of the USSR and the Constitution of the RSFSR, forests are state property – the common property of all the Soviet people. Forests are the exclusive property of the state and are provided only for use (Forest Code of the RSFSR, Article 3).
In 1924, the first plan for the development of the country’s forestry was developed, which included: sowing seedlings, promoting the natural regeneration of the main tree species in each specific area, fixing the sands, and creating shelterbelts. Natural reforestation has worked well under conditions of narrow logging sites, horse skidding (i.e. transportation) of felled trees, when loggers try to preserve young trees, and when some mature trees are left in clearings for seed scatter. Preservation of the undergrowth leads to the fact that the period of forest cultivation on cuttings is reduced by 15-20 years.
Until 1928, Soviet power was actually limited to plans for the future. But in subsequent years, excluding wartime, she made serious efforts to restore forests. So, from 1928 to 1937 in the USSR, forests were annually restored and planted on an area of 100-120 thousand hectares. True, a large percentage of seedlings did not take root. There are many reasons for this: there were not enough good quality machines and forest specialists, not the best planting material was grown, there was no motivation on the collective farms to take care of the seedlings.
In order to solve the problem of poor planting material, in 1934 foresters V.G. Capper, A.P. Pashkov and A.M. Salouhin developed industry standards for pine, spruce and larch seeds and their germination. And in 1939, the Soviet government introduced standards for the production of high-quality seedlings for teams involved in reforestation. Monetary payments were introduced for compliance with the norms. Brigades in the USSR began to be responsible for the entire cycle of growing seedlings.
In the 1950s, a new planting method appeared – aerial seeding. Seeds were scattered with a special device from an aircraft flying at a distance of 30-40 meters above the ground. But this method gave at that time a very low effect – on average, 37% of the seeds took root.
How nature was changed
In 1949-1965, the so-called “Stalin’s plan for the transformation of nature” was planned to be implemented on a gigantic territory of 120 million hectares. It was planned to create protective plantings on an area of more than 6 million hectares: forest belts, plantings on ravines and sands, and on open areas in forestry enterprises. The Agrolesproekt Institute and 500 forest protection stations were established. The plan could not be realized only with the help of the hands of the workers and peasants. Therefore, the forestry and the forestry sector received a large number of new tractors, tractor plows, forest planters, and seeders. Forest protection stations, in addition to planting thousands of hectares of forest, were engaged in the construction of industrial and residential buildings, created workers’ settlements with all the necessary infrastructure.
Until 1965, forestry enterprises planted forests on an area of 2.3 million hectares of oak, birch, ash, poplar, common and small-leaved elm, Norway and Tatar maple, white acacia, Siberian larch, linden, pine and even mountain ash. Thanks to this plan, fruit trees began to grow in the plantings – apple trees, pears, cherries, apricots. However, the plan was not implemented 100 percent. Many plantings perished: growing fruit trees in the steppe is no easier than turning back the rivers.
The total length of protective forest belts was 5320 km. This is the length of the road route from Stavropol to Irkutsk. The direction of these strips was chosen in such a way that they retained water in the fields and served as barriers against dry winds that were terrible for agriculture. Large forest plantations were also planted on the fields of collective farms and state farms.

The longest forest belts ran along the following sections:
1) along the banks of the Ural River from the Caspian Sea to the Chelyabinsk region – three strips from each bank, 60 m wide, 1080 km long;
2) on both banks of the Don River from Voronezh to Rostov – two lanes 60 m wide and 920 km long;
3) on both banks of the Volga River from Saratov to Astrakhan – two lanes 100 m wide and 900 km long.

Such prominent agronomists as V.V. Dokuchaev, P.A. Kostychev, V.R. Williams. They discovered the grass-field farming system, which allows increasing the growth of grass (forage base for livestock) at times and restoring soil fertility. This system included, for example, the application of fertilizers to large fodder areas and the development of irrigation through the construction of ponds and reservoirs. About 4 thousand reservoirs were created in the USSR. After the implementation of the plan, grain yields increased by 25-30%, vegetables – by 50-75%, herbs – by 100-200%.
“Southern Forest Belt of Russia” – a new global project
Nowadays, Russia needs to solve the problem of desertification, steppe formation and dry winds again in order to preserve the fertile southern lands, support agriculture and contribute to the restoration of nature. To solve this problem, the Plant a Forest project team launched a large-scale project called the Southern Forest Belt of Russia. The forests that will appear as a result of this project will contribute to the creation of a comfortable and soft microclimatic environment, to the reduction of wind force at the level of the surface air layer. By planting drought-tolerant tree species, they can help even out average daily temperatures.
If this problem of steppe growth is not solved, then in the near future it may exacerbate the problem of food security, which will lead to an increase in social and economic tension. The project “Southern Forest Belt of Russia” differs in concept from the project of seventy years ago in terms of forests. The Soviet project did not have a forest strip 1 km wide and 8000 km long. It did not affect Siberia, and the “Southern Forest Belt of Russia” will affect not only the central part of Russia and the Urals, but also the east of the country. The forest belt, according to the plan of the ECA Movement, will run from the Rostov region to the Republic of Buryatia and will occupy 800,000 hectares.

Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center
The Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center is the University of Wyoming’s and front door. It is a dramatic welcoming center with a state-of-the-art technological infrastructure that was funded entirely through private support.
Take the Tour!
The Purpose of the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center
The depth and breadth of the center’s purpose are like no other in the nation. It has a much wider mandate and it serves a much broader audience than comparable facilities at other institutions of higher learning.
It is home for students past, present, and future. It is a place for prospective students and families to enter the university, for gatherings of current students, for alumni to arrive and celebrate the history and traditions of their alma mater, for friends to participate in the university’s programs, and for corporations and organizations to interview and recruit UW students. It also serves Wyoming’s donors, athletic fans, supporters, friends, and the general public.
The center can meet the needs of almost any size or type of event. The spaces within the building are technologically savvy, flexible, and aesthetically one-of-a-kind, and there are two plazas ideal for outside events.
These spaces can be used for intimate lunches or for a banquet of 600 in the ballroom and spilling out onto the outdoor plazas. They can be used for tailgating, weddings, speeches, reunions, conferences, or just a meeting place for friends traveling into town. There is free Wi-Fi and a 30-screen digital wall showing video content of Wyoming and its university.
The facility is home to the UW Alumni Association, Admissions, and the UW Foundation and contains office and collaborative space for these units as they support and promote the university.
The Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center Facility
Surrounded by a dramatic three-story wall of windows, the McMurry Foundation Grand Atrium proudly welcomes visitors, functioning as the central hub. With its wide-open welcoming aesthetics and prominent university displays and exhibits, it serves as a gathering place and event space for students, alumni, prospective employers, industry leaders, and all of UW’s other constituencies.
The McMurry Foundation UW Legacy Hall will be the most visited space in the new building, creating an interactive experience that honors the impact of UW on Wyoming, the renowned alumni and friends who have supported Wyoming’s university, and the noteworthy traditions of the institution. It tells the story of UW—from the founding in 1886 through its vibrant present and on into the institution’s bright future—through museum-quality space and dynamic and flexible visuals, including video and digital displays. Within these spaces, the impact of Wyoming’s energy industry in advancing Wyoming and UW is celebrated in a permanent exhibition.
The static and digital exhibits are a collaboration of the UW Foundation and the American Heritage Center. These exhibits will continue to be changed and updated, and the American Heritage Center will continue to be actively involved in historical content for the Legacy Hall and energy display.
The McMurry Foundation UW Legacy Hall features a one-of-a-kind elk horn sculpture suspended in space. It is created with over 120 fallen elk antlers from Jackson that are designed to be one continuous shape. It is designed by Shawn Rivett and sculpted by Steve Barrus, both from Casper.
The History of the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center
Plans for the Gateway Center project began in 2008 and featured prominently in the university’s long-range development plan.
The UW Foundation Board of Directors assembled a planning team and charged them with the direction and leadership of this project. Among its members were constituents from across campus and the UW Foundation Board, including Scott Neu, board chair; April Brimmer Kunz, vice chair; emeritus chairs Clayton Hartman, Roy Cline, Greg Dyekman, and Frank Mendicino; and Mari Ann Martin, former foundation board member.
Fundraising began in August of 2012, and construction began in April of 2013 and was completed in October of 2014.
The center’s namesake, philanthropist Marian H. Rochelle, gave more than $12 million in support of the facility. Mick and Susie McMurry gave $6 million through the McMurry Foundation to support the Grand Atrium and the Legacy Hall. Greg and Loren Hill gave $1.25 million to create the north plaza, Roy and Fay Whitney gave $1 million to create the south plaza, and Carol and Ramon Tomé gave $1 million for the Student Admissions Center. The list goes on. The center has inspired many more wonderful gifts from UW’s dedicated supporters.
The center was designed by Cheyenne, Wyo.-based Pappas & Pappas Architects P.C., and DLR Group, an integrated design firm with offices across the United States. The national branding firm Advent LLC designed the exhibit and museum spaces. The construction manager-at-risk was Wyoming- and Colorado-based Haselden Construction.

History
Creation of the club (1896 – 1902)
The practice of rugby football in La Rochelle began in 1892 with the association Les Volontaires du Lycée de La Rochelle.
On April 8, 1896, Stade Rochelais was created in the form of a sports and sports company, with Louis Sago as its first president. But it was not until 1898 that the Stade Rochelet was officially recognized under the direction and responsibility of its new president, Charles Guarriguez.
La Rochelle Stadium is one of the oldest rugby clubs on French soil only after Le Havre AC Racing de France, the French Stadium, the FC Grenoble, the University of Olympia Lyon and FC Auch since the establishment of Omnisports Societe du Stade Rochelais dates back to 1896, and effective practice since 1898.
Development of the rugby section (1902-1935)
From 1902, the US Consul in La Rochelle and future club president George Henry Jackson (in) developed the rugby section. During this period, the Stade Rochelle became champion of the Atlantic several times, thus playing in the French championship, where it lost three times in the quarter-finals against the Stade de France (1906), Orléans (1907) and the Bayonne Island (1914). .).
Rochelle players settled in the area between avenue Carnot and the railway, Trianon, which was inaugurated on 15 August 1906 years. Jealousy begins to develop around the Yellow-Blacks, who again became champions of the Atlantic against the Nantai in 1907. but the loser for the second year in a row at the gates of the semi-finals of the French championship (defeated by Orleans).
Before the outbreak of the First World War and a few seasons later, when the regional title eluded Rochelle, the club won its third Atlantic title in 1914. The yellow-blacks lost again in the quarter-finals of the French championship, facing Aviron bayonnais.
Trianon reopened its doors in 1919 after a four-year hiatus due to the Great War. This period is not the most successful for the Rochelle stadium, presidents succeed each other, and sports performances do not reach the highest peaks.
On September 19, 1926, the Port Neuf Sports Park was opened. This is a new platform for yellow and black.
Rugby union (1935-1940)
The La Rochelle Stadium was not the only club in trouble in the late 1930s. Rochelle Athletic Union, the city’s other team in Quenz, is having difficulty with the flight of its players to La Rochelle XIII. Abandoned by the public, the two Quinzist bands decide to team up to save themselves. June 14 19For 35 years they joined forces to form the Union Stade Rochelais. The team will now play at the Stade André-Barbeau on rue Alphonse de Saintonge. The club decided to switch to rugby union, it won two French second division titles in 1936 and 1937.
Back in XV (1941-1948)
On June 23, 1940, La Rochelle became a city occupied by the German army. The dwindling number of sports companies pushes La Rochelle-Etudiants XIII to merge with Union-Stade and together relaunch the fifteen-player team, Stade Rochelais. The club plays again on the municipal territory of Port Neuf.
Marcel Deflandre, director of the Raffinerie du Midi, became club president on 10 January 1941. He joined the Resistance, uniting the Honor and Fatherland group in 1942 and heading the Supply and Fuel section. He was arrested on 9 October 1943 in Niort and would be executed on 11 January 1944.
France liberated from German occupation, official sports competitions can resume. The Rochelay Railway Athletic Agreement (ESCR) was formed and the Rochelay rugby organization decided to join them. The rugby section of the ESCR has moved to the Port Neuf stadium, which on 23 March 1947 years became the stadium of Marseille-Deflandre.
In 1948 the rugby section of the ESCR regained its autonomy and became the Stade Rochelais again.
Championship
1st – nd Division (1948 – 1997)
The meeting between La Rochelle and Toulouse in 1957 lost 12-6 to the Maritimes.
Stade Rochelais firmly entered the rugby elite by joining the Fédérale, the top tier of French rugby at the time. Also from January 9, 1949 to October 24, 1954, the club will play 28 matches without defeat at home.
Laurent Bidard is the club’s first player to be selected for the France squad in 1953 (selection against Wales).
Stade Rochelais Rugby School was founded in 1952. In 1954, Arno Elissald, then a player and coach of the club, formed a team of educators. The club is gradually being structured, as is the rapidly developing rugby school. To give the club a new dynamic impetus, Jacques Larrose and Arnaud Elissald decided to create a newspaper advertising the Rochelle stadium and rugby. So in September 1958, the Allez Stade company was born.
Since 1961, Stade Rochelle has almost systematically reached the 1/8 finals of the French Championship and played in three quarter-finals lost to Dax in 1961, 1962 and 1969.
In 1970 Stade Rochelais was present at all finals (first, reserve, junior A, junior B and cadet teams). During the decade, young teams have been gaining strength, reaching the finals regularly. The Rochelais stadium is building its reputation in French rugby.
In 1973, the French championship formula was revised and consisted of two groups of 32 clubs each. Stade Rochelais is in Group A (First Division). He stayed there until 1985 before being relegated to Group B.
La Rochelle does not miss the opportunity of professional rugby (1997 – 2006).
Vincent Merling, former Stade Rochelais player, became club president in 1991.
The club’s recent history has been taking shape since 1997 and with the advent of professionalism. Indeed, since this year, Stade Rochelais has become part of the professional elite. SAOS “Atlantique Stade Rochelais” is created, of which the Stade Rochelais association has remained the majority shareholder since 98% shares.
Two-time League Cup winner (2002 and 2003)

Finalist 2007, semi-finalist 2008 and 2009years, it was in 2010 that La Rochelle won its bet: by beating Lyon in the final 32-26, the club got into the top 14. This is also the period of a new record: from to at the Stade Marseille-Deflandre 22 wins in a row. Finally, the club played three European shields in 1997, 2000 and 2001. At the end of the 2010-2011 season, in the top 14, the marine club is relegated to the Pro D2 level with the firm intention of regaining the elite and allowing them to stay. there: Vincent Merling, the president of the club, hires two young coaches: Patrice Collazo and Fabrice Ribeirolles and launches an action plan called “Growing Together 2015” aimed at developing the club both sportively and structurally.
Rise to the top 14 and maintenance (2014 – 2016)
Top 14 guaranteed the club’s victory in the entry final in Bordeaux (Stade Chaban-Delmas), during which the Stade Rochelle beat Sou Agen 31:22. Thus, the Yellow-Blacks join Lyon OU, who secured straight growth by winning the Pro D2 championship at the end of the regular season.
In June 2014 , Javier Garbajosa joined the club and became an assistant coach in charge of individual methods ( skills ). at , Fabrice Ribeyrolles leaves the coaching staff then the club. Xavier Garbajosa then takes on the role of back line coach.
to after a draw conceded at home against Racing 92 (18–18), remaining in the top 14 in the 2014–2015 season is mathematically guaranteed, with one match left in the regular season.
at , the club presents its new four-year development plan “Writing our history in 2020”, as well as changing its identity: the club’s name is thus simplified by dropping the “Atlantic” prefix, returning to those most its original name, while a new logo with a more modern design is adopted.

On the European stage, they lost 36–16 to Newcastle in the final of the European competition against ASM Clermont Auvergne.
Irish newcomer Ronan O’Gara arrived at the club in 2019 and took over the first team in July 2021 following the departure of Jono Gibbs.
Season not completed due to coronavirus (2019 – 2020)
After the 2019-2020 season, with the arrival of Ronan O’Gara as head coach and Robert Mohr as club sports coordinator, the 2020-2021 season marks a change in game plan. greater transversality between categories of players. Therefore, more hope will be to unite the first team for training.

Image and identity
Colors and logo
When Stade Rochelais played their first Atlantic Championship games, George Henry Jackson chose yellow and black as the representative colors of the club. Fifty years later, we inevitably find them in the work of Georges Gaill, responsible for supplying the Rochelle stadium with a badge. On a black background, he draws a yellow caravel – the coat of arms of the city of La Rochelle. He will decorate T-shirts at 1968 on the occasion of the 16th final of the French championship, which took place in Montauban against RC Toulon.
From the early 2000s until 2016, the logo features a reference to “Atlantik”, reminiscent of the geographical location of the city, which gave the team the nickname “Primorsky”.
to , a new, more modern logo is introduced to accompany the club’s new identity and drop the “Atlantic” reference.
Music
Stade Rochelais players are used to taking to the field with a remix of Scotty’s Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack.
Recently another music has been used – the song Santiano by the singer Hugh Ofrei.

90 years ago, on September 19, 1926, the Port-Neuf sports park and the future Marcel-Deflandre stadium became the official ground for the yellow-blacks.
From 23 March 19’47 the stadium was named after Marcel Defland, club president at the time of the merger between the city’s rugby union and the XV clubs introduced by the Pétain regime. Resisting, he was arrested and shot by the Gestapo at in Bordeaux.

The stadium was refurbished during the 2009-2010 season when Stade Rochelais played Pro D2. Work on the Port Neuf stand (5529 seats) was completed in time for the semi-finals against Oyonnax at the start. . It was during the reception of Toulon on that the stadium was crowded for the first time: about 12300 people were present in the fence. There were 11 sold-out matches in the top 14 at Marseille-Deflandre during the 2010-2011 season.

During the off-season, the capacity of the pavilion was increased by 1000 seats due to the expansion of the stand, which was simultaneously closed and equipped with a collective panoramic box. This work was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the Charente-Maritime Council of Departments and the City of La Rochelle. On that day, the yellow-blacks won against the defending French champions Clermontois with a score of 51:20.

Club organization scheme
Stade Rochelais is a company operating in the form of a simplified joint stock company. In March 2021, its management changed, the club transformed from a duo of executive chairman and managing director to a management with two bodies: a supervisory board and a board of directors. Thus, the club is led by two presidents, one chairman of the supervisory board, and the other – the chairman of the board.
When Jono Gibbs (sporting director and coach) left the club in 2021, the club reorganized its sports pole. Development manager Robert Mohr will take on the role of the club’s sporting director. Unlike his predecessor, he will not be alongside Ronan O’Gara in first team training. He is responsible, among other things, for the development of the club’s sports structures, for the link between training and the first team, and for recruitment.
Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Vincent Merling
Chairman of the Board: Pierre Venaire
Sports Director: Robert Mohr

Starting as a coeducational preparatory school In 1910, the CCI became a women’s institution. It became a “junior college” in 1940. In 1976 it became a four-year “Centennial College” for girls offering associate and bachelor’s degrees with men only allowing a degree in evening courses. In 1988, men were allowed to attend full-time classes .at 1995 Master’s degree programs were introduced. [8] In 2016, the Centenary College was granted the University of New Jersey Minister of Higher Education status. [10]
Tilly Smith’s Chastity Monument [11]
In 1886, a 19-year-old kitchen worker named Tilly Smith was “outraged” and killed in a field near campus. A janitor at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry named after James Titus was found guilty of a crime based on circumstantial evidence heavily influenced by yellow journalism. Authors and historians generally dismiss this as a false belief, but disputes over the facts continue with eternally obscure tourism ghost tours, theatrical performances, books, and Weird New Jersey magazine articles. [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
On Halloween night 1899, the original CCI building burned to the ground in a fire. [18] The Sea Administration Building, also called the Old Main, was designed by the architect Oskar Schütte Teel in the Renaissance Beaux Arts style [19] and built on the ruins of the original structure in 1901. [7]
In 1957, student-run college FM radio station WNTI began broadcasting on campus. Ultimately becoming a nuclear power affiliate serving the regional community with an adult rock album format, the FM transmitter was sold to the University of Pennsylvania founded WXPN in 2015. [20] [21] [22] As of 2020 student run Internet radio station continues to operate on WNTI.org. [23]
Centenary Stage, the professional Impartiality Theater, has been operating on campus since 1985.

Muhammad Islamic University
Muhammad Islamic University ( MUI ) is the Nation of Islam (NOI) a 12th grade preschool in the South Shore Zone, Chicago, Illie located next to Maryam Mosque. [1] Every major NOI mosque has a MUI. The schools are led by the Ministry of Education of the Nation of Islam, headed by Dr. Larry Mohammed. Founded in 1930, MUI is the first Islamic African-American school system in America.
As of 1990, 40% of students were non-Muslims. [2]
History
The Islamic University was founded by Elijah Muhammad. The school was greatly supported by Clara Muhammad, wife of Elijah Muhammad and other mothers of the Nation of Islam, [3] in 1934 in Detroit, Michigan and was one of the organization’s first institutes. It was an elementary school that taught “mathematics, astronomy, and the general knowledge of civilization.” [4] Schools were opened in many cities where the Nation of Islam existed. By 1974, there were 47 Islamic university schools in the country. [5]
Some scholars call the Islamic University schools the nation’s first attempt at homeschooling by black families. [6] [7]
After the death of his father in 1975, Warit Din Muhammad transformed the Muhammad Islamic University into the Clara Muhammad Schools (or simply Muhammad Schools ) [8] [9] [1023] 11] replacing the Islamic University founded by his father. The school system is “an amalgamation of approximately 75 elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the United States and the Caribbean.” The schools have been described by Zakia Muhammad of the American Educational Research Association as “models of Islamic education with commendable results.” 9 “NAA hosts a multinational alumni reunion every two years in a different state. Outside of business hours, NAA hosts SOS (Save Our Schools) campaigns to archive and preserve student records, hosts small business workshops for nonprofits and startups, and hosts the annual International Women’s Conference (IWC). All endeavors, activities, programs, fundraising or projects aim to help and support Mohammed-Mohammed Schools, launch or restart CMS. ” 9
Not to be confused with the University of Valparaiso.
University of Valparaiso ( Valpo ) is a private university located in Valparaiso, Indiana. It is a Lutheran university with approximately 3,600 students from over 50 countries on a 350-acre (140 ha) campus.
Valpo has five colleges and a graduate school. The second largest collegiate chapel in the world, the Chapel of the Resurrection of Christ, is located here.
Originally called Men’s and Women’s Colleges Valparaiso, Valparaiso University was founded in 1859 as one of the first coeducational colleges in the United States. Due to setbacks caused by the Civil War, the college was forced to close in 1871. Two years later, educator Henry Baker Brown revived it and named it Northern Indiana Normal School and Institute of Business . At the turn of the 20th century, Brown changed the college’s name to Valparaiso College and shortly thereafter it was renamed Valparaiso University. Originally founded by Methodists, the Association of Lutheran Universities purchased it in 1925. The association continues to administer it today.

History
Valparaiso Men’s and Women’s College
In 1859, the people of Valparaiso were so supportive of the placement of the college that they raised $11,000 to encourage the Methodist Church to settle there. The school opened on September 21, 1859 to 75 students and was one of the first coeducational colleges in the country. Students paid tuition of $8 per semester (three semesters per year), plus the cost of room and board at a nearby home of approximately $2 per week. College education actually started with younger children, and most of the students were in elementary and high school. University-level courses included mathematics, literature, history, science, and philosophy. Courses devoted to the Christian faith included “moral philosophy” and “moral science”. During the Civil War, most men (both students and administrative workers) enlisted in the army. Further difficulties arose in 1867 when Indiana passed a law providing state support for public education by adding competition for students. Moreover, the widespread efforts of Methodists throughout the state towards higher education meant that none of their schools were self-sufficient. The combination of factors proved too difficult for the men’s and women’s college, and the school closed in 1871.
Valparaiso Men’s and Women’s College, circa 1870.
Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute
Reopened by Henry Baker Brown in 1873, the school was named Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute. In 1900, the school was renamed Valparaiso College and received its current status as a university after being re-registered in 1906.
Valparaiso College then Valparaiso University
Henry Baker Brown bought the American College of Medicine and Surgery from Northwestern University; It later changed its name to the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery. Students could save money by spending their first two years at a medical college in Valparaiso.
In 1905, the university became a member of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery to provide dental education to its students. Over the next two decades, Valpo established a national reputation as an economics institution, earning the positive moniker Poor Harvard University . At its peak enrollment in 1907, it was the second largest school in the country after Harvard University. In 1914, the monthly literary magazine “Torch” ; In 1915 it became the university’s weekly student newspaper.
The university began intercollegiate sports competitions in 1916. Walpo’s first game was a basketball game against the Chicago YMCA School of Training, in which VU fielded players from intramural teams.
In 1917, World War I and the death of President Brown took their toll and the school was forced into bankruptcy. Valparaiso University sold the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery to Loyola University of Chicago. At 19In 23 a fire destroyed the original old 1860 college building and VU could not afford to clean up the site. It was one of the many financial problems that Valparaiso faced in 1923 when President Horace M. Evans tried to pay off a $375,000 debt. Evans reached out to the Rockefeller Foundation and other wealthy individuals before asking the Indiana state legislature to make the VU public. The legislature refused, and Evans nearly sold the university to the “Invisible Hand” of the Ku Klux Klan, but the deal was stalled due to “legal technicalities” that were likely cited to preserve the reputation of both organizations.
The University of Valparaiso was eventually purchased by the Association of Lutheran Universities, a conglomerate of the National Alliance for Lutheran Education and Luther’s American League.
Lutheran Revival
In July 1925, the Lutheran Universities Association, affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, became the property of the school. The association was a group of clergy and church laity who saw promise in the school and wanted to create an academic institution not controlled by any church denomination. Valparaiso is still administered by the Association of Lutheran Universities and remains an independent Lutheran institution that maintains a close relationship with the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
On March 13, 1929, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools accredited the university. Two years later, President Craneheader created the Guild of Valparaiso Universities, a volunteer and charitable organization to help students, and in 1934 the Alumni Association began operations. The university’s College of Engineering began a joint educational program with Purdue University in 1938. In the late 1930s, the university built a new gymnasium. In 1941, the Faculty of Arts was opened at VU. Simultaneously with the outbreak of World War II, the University of Valparaiso renamed its yearbook from Uhlan (German soldier) to Mayak . The following year, Valpo changed the name of its sports team from Uhlans to Crusaders.
Modern era
In 1940 O.P. Kretzmann. During the 28 years of his reign, he made significant changes, many of which remained in force. In 1944, Valparaiso University purchased about 90 acres (36 ha) of land east of campus near the corner of Sturdee Road and U.S. Route 30. The large oak that occupies this land has been named “Merlin” and remains the centerpiece of the campus. This purchase would have changed the campus as the university moved to its current location for many years.
Kretzmann increased enrollment from 400 to over 4000. Academic rigor increased with enrollment. VU created its Honor Code in 1943 and remains in place today as students continue to write the code on top of assignments. After World War II, Valparaiso offered its first four-year degrees: Mechanics, Civil Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. On November 27, 1956, the Chapel-Audience burned down. The university quickly restored the place for worship: on September 27, 1959, the Chapel of the Resurrection was opened. At 19In 1958, VU installed a subcritical nuclear reactor, and in the 1970s, the university branch of the US Atomic Energy Commission named the Valpo Nuclear Physics Laboratory. a model for all small universities wishing to provide excellent undergraduate physics training.”
President Kretzmann founded Christ College, an honors college at the University of Valparaiso, in 1967. Christ College was only the third honors college in the nation. Campus radio station WVUR-FM began broadcasting at 7 p.m.60 year. Robert F. Kennedy spoke to 5,000 people in 1968 at VU during the campaign, and that same year the university opened its longtime international study centers in Cambridge, England and Reutlingen, Germany. During student protests in 1970, Kinsey Hall burned down. The college’s first class of nursing graduated in 1971. In 1976, Valparaiso University began the NCAA Division I competition.
In 1991, Valpo became the home of the Lilly Fellows, a national program that supports young academic teachers during its first year. This program has grown to almost 100 universities. At 19’98 the men’s basketball team reached the Sweet Sixteen in the National Tournament division. In 2002, a new international training center was opened in Hangzhou, China. Phi Beta Kappa founded a chapter at the University of Valparaiso in 2004. In 2013, the university completed a solar oven and research facility, the only educational institution operating a solar oven, and one of only five solar ovens in the United States.
In 2008, Mark Heckler became the 18th President of the University of Valparaiso. During his early years in office, Heckler led “the most comprehensive and collaborative strategic planning exercise in the university’s history. ” The plan includes goals such as increasing enrollment to 6,000 students, multiple building initiatives, and increased global engagement. President Heckler announced his retirement in September 2020 and Colette Irvine-Knott was named interim president. José Padilla became president-elect on January 1, 2021 and became president of the university on March 1, 2021. In 2021, Valpo accepted Beacons to as the name of their sports team.

Academics
Undergraduate programs
Valparaiso consists of five colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, Nursing and Health, and Christ College.
College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences offers a personalized education that integrates the liberal arts and professional development. It provides opportunities for hands-on, undergraduate research and internships in addition to classroom experience. With over 70 academic programs in 21 departments, the College of Arts and Sciences provides the liberal arts foundation for all programs.
College of Business
The College of Business is in the top 25% of the elite undergraduate business programs nationally accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The College of Business offers specialized majors in accounting, business intelligence, finance, international business, management, and marketing.

College of Engineering
The 2021 US News & World Report ranked the College of Engineering as the 13th best undergraduate engineering program among non-doctoral institutions. The College of Engineering received the 2012 Engineering Arts Award presented by the National Council of Engineering Experts. About 90 percent of students complete the program within four years. The college provides several service learning opportunities as well as undergraduate research opportunities.
College of Nursing and Health Professions
Virtual Nursing Education Center offers patient stations with interactive mannequins, beds, and equipment that simulate a hospital environment. The undergraduate, graduate and DNP programs at Valpo are accredited by the Commission on University Nursing Education.
Christ College
Christ College is an interdisciplinary honors college of the University of Valparaiso. Known on campus as “CC”, Christ College was founded by President OP Kretzmann in 1967 year. In 1964, Kretzmann convened a committee to plan a successor to the Directed Learning Program, which had been created to better serve the institution’s influx of gifted students. . This new VU college will look for students who are “passionate about learning and striving for excellence in general.”
The Christ College curriculum was to be based in part on the University of Chicago Liberal Arts basic model. The arriving freshmen read the classical texts and used the Socratic method to discover “that they did not know what they thought they knew”. In later years, courses beyond assignments in a particular academic discipline encouraged students to explore important questions from a creative perspective. This structure remains unchanged as each freshman is enrolled in the Freshman Program, which consists of a two-semester, 16-credit course that introduces students to the classics of history, literature, art, music, philosophy, religion and theology, and the social sciences.
In addition to the lessons, a number of traditions create camaraderie and encourage the intellectual development of students. The most notable of these annual events are the fall edition of Christ College for Freshmen and the spring debate at Christ College, Oxford. The Freshman Production is an original play or musical that is written, voiced, staged, staged, produced and performed exclusively by members of Christ College’s freshman class. The Christ’s College Oxford Debate is a series of formal debates in which two groups of students present either the positive or negative side of a topic they have been studying for five or six weeks. After the debate, the moderator of the debate asks those present to “vote” and determine the winner of the debate. Another notable academic opportunity offered by Christ College is the Student Scholarship Symposium, where students present research in a formal lecture setting. It features student-selected research projects from various academic fields delivered in a mission-critical and interactive environment. College students often spend a semester studying at one of Walpo’s overseas study centers; many of them take a course at Christ College Abroad, taught by faculty every spring break.
Approximately 90 students are admitted each year, or 10 percent of university applicants. Honors College students are concurrently enrolled in another VU undergraduate college and may complete their studies with a liberal arts or minor major in addition to the major from their major field of study. In 2013, Peter Canelos became the fifth dean of Christ College, succeeding Mel Peel. Peel ran the college for ten years after Mark Schwen stepped down. In the fall of 2017, Professor Jennifer Pro became interim dean after Peter Canelos stepped down, becoming the first female CC dean.

Many of the fraternities were local until the 1950s, when they were accepted as chapters into national and international fraternities. Until 1998, women’s clubs had no national affiliation.
Fraternity & Sorority Life’s 2013-2014 Annual Report reported over 10,000 community service hours and a $45,000 financial report for local and national nonprofits. All but one organization had a cumulative GPA above 3.0 during the spring semester, and the average GPA for all Greek life was 3.247.
In 2015, the university announced plans to build new housing for all five sororities. Two-story, 21,000 square feet (2,000 m 2 ) will occupy the territory to the west of the Sports and Recreation Center. Each sorority will occupy a portion of the 25-seat complex and share one chapter room. Construction will begin in March 2015 and be completed by the end of the year.

While many colleges changed or canceled the remainder of the 1969-1970 academic year following the Kent State rioting shootings, the Valparaiso administration ignored student calls for seminars and forums about violence on other campuses . A large group of students then organized a protest march from the Victory Bell campus to the Porter County Courthouse. The ongoing protests have led to discussions between the administration and student leaders. When these negotiations failed, early in the morning the still unidentified students set fire to the empty administration building of Kinsey Hall. The fire destroyed the building.
Enterprise of Faith
Valparaiso University College of Engineering is the result of student activity. The university’s engineering program was reduced to a two-year associate’s degree due to declining enrollment during the economic depression that dominated the 1930s. When students began asking in 1948 about the possibility of reinstating the four-year degree program, university president O. P. Kretzmann cited a lack of space and resources to build the new facility. The students responded by offering to build a new building if he would guarantee teaching positions, to which the President agreed. The students built the facility themselves, using their engineering background and intensive fundraising campaign, and by 19In 1951, the new college of engineering was once again offering four-year bachelor’s degrees. The building still exists today and houses the Art Department. This story caught the attention of the whole country and was turned into a feature film called Venture of Faith.
Shack burning
During the 1988-1989 school year, a mock shack was built on campus in solidarity with the victims of apartheid in South Africa. Mike Weber and Phil Churilla, two columnists for student newspaper VU The Torch , wrote a column criticizing the protest over student use of portable CD players, woolen blankets and packaged food in shacks. A few days later, the slums burned down, and the culprits were never found.
2006 Protests
During the spring semester of 2006, a Valparaiso police officer entered the frat house with a drawn weapon on suspicion of drug use. During the same period, Valparaiso University police officers began driving university escort vans to catch drunk students on the dry campus. As students used escort vans as a safe alternative to drunk driving, several van drivers left in protest. As a result of these two incidents, over 400 students organized a protest and march across campus to demonstrate against the Valparaiso University Police Department and ask the Board of Directors to make policy changes.
Art protest
On December 9, 2014, an anonymous group claiming to be students at the University of Valparaiso posted plastic bags and signs reading “I can’t breathe”, “Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter” on headlines of statutes Borders. , created by Steinunn Thorarinsdottir, which are located around the campus. These signs were placed in light of the recent deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. The artistic protest was meant to draw attention to institutional racism.
“Die” protest
On December 11, 2014, about 100 students from the University of Valparaiso took part in the “Die-In” protest. This type of protest was popular at the time and was meant to show the solidarity of Valparaiso students with members of the Ferguson community.
Religious Freedom Restoration Act March
In the spring of 2015, Valparaiso University students marched from the university campus to Valparaiso City Hall to protest the recently passed Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Students and members of the local Valparaiso community felt that the law encouraged discrimination against members of the LGBT+ community, and strongly opposed the use of city funds to support any business associated with the Act itself.
Student Media
Valparaiso University’s student media organizations (WVUR: The Source, VUTV, The Beacon, The Torch and The Lighter) have long been award-winning. While all organizations are award-winning, many of their student members have also received awards for their work in student media organizations.
Athletics
Main article: Valparaiso Lighthouses
The Victory Bell, rung after sports victories and campus celebrations, stands next to the Athletics and Recreation Center.
The colors of Walpo are brown and gold and the sports teams are known as the Lighthouses. Most athletic events are held at the Athletics and Recreation Center (ARC), which is the main athletic facility on campus. Eighteen Valparaiso teams and almost 600 student-athletes primarily compete in the NCAA Division I (I-FCS for football) in the Missouri Valley Conference. Valparaiso competes in four sports that MVC does not sponsor. The football team plays in the Pioneer Football League at Brown Field. Men’s swimming and men’s tennis compete in the Major Leagues, while bowling (a women’s-only sport at the NCAA level) competes in the Southland Bowling League.
In 1942, the University of Valparaiso fielded the tallest basketball team in the world, and in the 1944-1945 season, the so-called “Valparaiso Giants” or “The Tallest Team in the World” played at Madison Square Garden. The VU football team played the Cigar Bowl on New Year’s Day 1951. Valpoe is also known for his men’s basketball head coach Homer Drew and his son Bryce Drew, who led the team to the Sweet Sixteen’s appearance in the 1998 NCAA Basketball Tournament. “The Shot”, a 3-point shot after time ran out, outscored Ole Miss by one point. Bryce Drew was named head coach in the spring of 2011. Valparaiso is also home to the National Lutheran Basketball Tournament.
The men’s soccer team won the 2011 Horizon League Regular Season Conference Championship. Men’s basketball was followed by its own 2011 Horizon League crown, while the baseball and softball teams won the regular season and Horizon League tournament titles, representing the conference in the NCAA Tournament. . In addition, the bowling team has earned itself a spot in the NCAA championship in just its third season. In addition, head coach Karin Avery recently led the women’s volleyball team to great success. In the 2014-2015 season They had their 13th straight season with 20 wins. They were one of 10 programs across the country to win at least 20 games in each of the previous 12 years, during which time Avery led the team to three conference and tournament regular season championships, as well as three NCAA Tournament appearances. In the spring of 2013, the men’s golf team won the Horizon League championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
NCAA Division I teams include baseball (men), basketball, bowling (women), cross country, soccer (men), golf, soccer, softball (women), swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. The university has support and spirit groups, as well as several intramural and club sports: soccer, water polo, mini golf, sand volleyball, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, frisbee, and volleyball.
On February 11, 2021, Valparaiso announced that he would be dropping the moniker “Crusaders” due to the “negative connotation and violence associated with images of the Crusaders”. On August 10, 2021, the new nickname was announced as “The Lighthouses”.

The lion has found a lair | Dynamomania.com
According to the information that the “Team” has, only the Bundestim from our quartet knows exactly their summer Gallic apartments. The Poles, according to the local press, decided on 99%, but the teams of Ukraine and Northern Ireland are still looking for the best options.
The Germans in general, as usual, everything is accurate, as if in a pharmacy. Joachim Loew’s wards will begin direct preparation for the Euro on May 14. On this day, all candidates for a trip to France will receive individual training plans from the coaching staff. And only after the finals of the German Cup (May 21) and the Champions League (May 28), the team will gather for a 10-day training session at the Swiss Giardino Hotel, during which Lev will determine the final application for the tournament (by the way, the exact date of the deadline for its submission to UEFA will inform you additionally).
It is planned that no later than five days before the start of the championship, the Bundesteam will move to France, to the place of their temporary deployment – the Hermitage Hotel in the town of Evian-les-Bains, located at the foot of the Chablais mountain range, exactly on the southern coast of the Geneva lakes.
Kadra has a similar situation, but there are certain “buts”. So, the guys of Adam Nawalka will get together on the 20th of May at the four-star Arlamov Hotel in Polish Bieszczady. They will have a full-size football field, a swimming pool, saunas, a wellness center and a golf course. A week before the start of Euro 2016, the Poles will arrive in France. According to the information we have, they are considering four of the 66 options for the location proposed by the organizers. The local press believes that the team’s management is inclined to drop anchor at the Trianon Palace Versailles in Versailles, where during the World Cup 1998 lived teams of Germany and Holland and where Martin O’Neill’s Irish will visit this summer.
Let’s add that the places of deployment of some of the favorites of the competition are already known. So, for example, the French team will prepare for matches at its base in Clairefontaine, the Belgians will stay near Bordeaux, in the city of Le Pian Medoc, the British in the Parisian suburb of Chantilly, the Portuguese will also find shelter not far from the French capital, in the city of Marcoussis , where the training center “le bleu” for rugby is located, and the Spaniards, for the duration of their stay in the tournament, occupy a hotel on the island of Re, which is located off the western coast of France, in the northern part of the Antioch Strait, in the immediate vicinity of the city of La Rochelle.
It is worth noting that national federations must officially inform the organizers of the competition and UEFA about their decision in favor of a particular base before January 31, 2016.
Bundestim stress test
The rivals of the Ukrainian national team in the group Since the final tournament of Euro 2016, like the rest of the participants, make up preparation plans. The German team is not looking for easy ways. For March, the world champions have chosen opponents corresponding to their status – on the 26th, Lev’s team will meet in Berlin with England, and on the 29thth in Munich with Italy.
An interview with Joachim Löw, who is currently on holiday with his family in Freiburg, has been published on the website of the German Football Association. The material notes that the coach has already become on a par with the great predecessors Sepp Herberger, Helmut Schoen and Franz Beckenbauer, who also led the Bundestim to world gold, but can surpass them. Herberger, Shen, and Berti Vogts, who replaced Beckenbauer, failed to repeat the success four years later, but Lev still has such a chance.
An important point on this path, according to the coach himself, will be an intermediate stop in France. In Germany, Euro 2016 is seen as a stage of preparation for a more important tournament, which will be held in Russia in 2018. Lev also recalled the difficult experiences that befell his team in November, when the Bundestim during the match with France was at the epicenter of a terrorist attack, and then due to the threat of a terrorist attack, the duel with Holland in Hannover was canceled. The coach said that it was largely thanks to the work of psychologist Hans-Dieter Hermann that the players were able to get out of a state of stress.
In the meantime, the German Football Association is conducting a poll among the fans to determine the best player in the Bundestim in the outgoing year. The winner will be announced early next year.

FAQs
AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
KinderCare Orlando Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)
Spanish
Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
Our daughter has attended KinderCare Orlando since she was three months in age and stayed until she graduated from their prekindergarten program. Her first graduation, of what will likely be many, was with friends and the greatest teachers. Everyone is full of love for our daughter. I could not have been happier with the center we chose. Its one of the great presents in this world and we are so blessed. Thank you Lina, Chancy, Dayna, Kathleen, Cari, Peggy, Megan, Nicole, Alex, and Yvette. All of your hearts for almost five years gave our daughter the care she needed. We also appreciate the engaging curriculum and general care they had for our daughter with every ounce of your soul. They gave me a peace of mind every day. I am so grateful we found KinderCare Orlando!
Patty – KinderCare Parent
We love KinderCare! My son has been with KinderCare for over 4 years and my daughter started when she was just 12 weeks old. As hard as it can be to leave your children at daycare, I always have the peace of mind knowing that my children are in a safe, educational and loving environment. Both of my children have amazing teachers, who truly care about each of them as individuals. My son will soon be graduating Voluntary Prekindergarten and moving on to Kindergarten and we are truly sad to see his time ending at KinderCare. We’ve made wonderful memories at KinderCare and would highly recommend KinderCare to others!
Cheryl G. – KinderCare Parent
We are very fortunate to have our daughter attending such a loving, caring and attentive school! Her teachers are creative and innovative with their curriculum.
Melissa M. – KinderCare Parent
I have always found the staff at KinderCare to be friendly and to genuinely care about my son’s well being and learning. I can’t imagine taking him to any other school where he could receive the same quality education. I can heartily recommend this center and it is the first and only place to bring my child.
Gregory M. – KinderCare Parent
KinderCare has been a huge influence on our son’s life. Not only do they provide an excellent education but they also provide a loving and nurturing environment. Our son is always asking to go to school. We are extremely grateful for their support, love and dedication to all the children attending.
Jennifer C. – KinderCare Parent
KinderCare is a wonderful learning center! Jessica was so amazing during our tour and was just as amazing when our child started. Shamanda, the center director, is excellent! She has always been available to answer any questions, always on top of things and is very involved. The teachers and staff are so kind and really great with the children. This is the third place I’ve taken my child for childcare and I’m so happy with our decision. My toddler is in pre-school and is learning from all of the activities. So great to see my child come home with new skills. The staff here are all doing a wonderful job.
Sarah W. – KinderCare Parent
I have my 4 kids in this center and they have been accommodating and amazing with them. My son had a traumatic experience with another daycare provider, and once I brought him to Kindercare he was so much happier. I couldn’t be more grateful for this center!

A Complete Review of the Best Daycares in Orlando, Florida
It was estimated that 67.9% of U.S children were enrolled in some form of aftercare in 2018. Since then, this number has gone up since more families are returning to the office following the COVID-19 lockdowns. And if you’re a parent of a young child, you know how stressful it can be to find high-quality childcare. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of the best daycares in Orlando! If you want to give your child the best care in Orlando, then keep reading!
What Credentials Should I Look for When Looking at the Best Daycares in Orlando?
When looking for the best daycares in Orlando, you need to look at five key factors:
Price
Education levels
Cleanliness
Safety
Fully-licensed
These five factors are essential because you want to have the peace of mind that your child will be safe and thriving in a new environment. Thatswhy it’s crucial to find a facility that enriches your child’s development. So when looking at the best child care in Orlando, you might see the name “pre-school.”
This indicates that the facility places a lot of value on early development and education. And as far as licensing goes, Florida requires all daycare centers to have proper background screening for their workers. They also have to apply for licensing before they’re open to the public!
1. The Learning Center of South Park
Coming in at number one is, of course, our facility. This may seem a little biased, but we have the credentials and happy families to back up our claims and consider our center as one of the best daycares in Orlando.
For starters, we place education very high on our list. We have what we call a “High Scope” curriculum. This means the child’s interests are fully supported and encouraged by their teachers.
Not to mention, all of our teachers are thoroughly vetted and trained to provide your child with the best care in Orlando. We believe in a hands-on approach to learning. So all of our activities allow the children to use their full senses.
We also provide care for all children under the age of 5! And all of our classes are small. Therefore, your child will always receive the care they need without feeling left out.
Here at The Learning Center, we have rules and regulations regarding our teachers and how they interact with the children. For starters, all teachers must understand child development and how these stages affect their perception of the world.
Teachers are not allowed to direct children towards a particular behavior or idea. Instead, we believe that children should be guided and encouraged to pursue a specific idea or behavior. And every day, your child will be able to choose what goal they want to accomplish.
We also disinfect our areas regularly to avoid the spread of germs and bacteria. This is especially important since were living in a post-pandemic world! Lastly, we are fully licenses, and our prices match our exceptional services.
2. The Learning Place Academy Orlando
This Academy is also one of the best daycares in Orlando, Florida. The Learning Place Academy is family-owned and operated! They have been in business since 1971, and they currently employ 11-50 staff members!
So it’s a smaller-sized daycare. Nevertheless, their program and curriculum speak for themselves. Their philosophy is a play-based approach that allows the child to grow their socializing and developmental skills.
They also place a hard emphasis on academia. Therefore, all of their classes are designed to enrich your child’s brain upon entering. They also offer extended care before and after school hours. And they have transportation services!
Overall, The Learning Place deserves to be in second place because of its great prices and attention to detail!
3. Kids Place Preschool
Orlando child care providers all believe in the same values: safety, cleanliness, and education. And Kids Place Preschool is no expectation! This establishment is also family-owned, and it was founded in 1985!
So they have many years of industry knowledge and experience to make them our top three contenders for one of the best daycares in Orlando, Florida. They offer affordable childcare to anyone in need but with an intimate feel!
They also have bilingual teachers! Therefore, if your child requires a Spanish-speaking caregiver, they can provide that for them. Their learning approach is very similar to The Learning Place, with their philosophy being play-based but with an academic touch. Overall, you can ensure your child will have a safe and fun time at this facility!
4. Center for Autism of Florida Corp
If you have a child with Autism, we know how hard it can be to find the best kindergarten in Orlando. Luckily, the Center for Autism of Florida provides exceptional care for children with special needs.
The Center for Autism believes in providing informative and emotional-behavioral services to students. And if you have an older child, this daycare center also provides services for middle-school-aged children!
This center is entirely centered around providing care for special needs children by guiding them through their emotional and physiological responses. The philosophy for this center is play-based.
The only negative of this center is that they have a 1:30 teacher/student ratio! So if your child needs extra care, this area may not be the best. But if you are now looking for the best daycares in Orlando, you might also want to consider it.
5. Adore Kidz Academy
Operating since 2016, Adore Kidz Academy is definitely on our list for the best daycares in Orlando. Their philosophy is to provide exceptional care that leaves the child happy and feeling safe.
Their classrooms nourish the child’s social and cognitive behaviors by providing the necessary tools for healthy development. They also believe that a balanced diet positively affects a child’s ability to think and act. Therefore, they provide three nutritious meals a day!
Lastly, this daycare center also believes in providing children with outdoor activities. So if you’re child has any outdoor allergies, you must consider this since recess is part of their daily schedule.
6. Chai Jewish Preschool
We thought it would be helpful to include at least one religious daycare center in our guide. The best daycares in Orlando are usually non-religious based. However, Chai Jewish Preschool is one of the best religious-based centers in the area.
They offer infant, toddler, and kindergarten programs that include Jewish values. Their curriculum is centered around art, music, and story-telling with a religious background.
They also place a high value on safety. Therefore, they have a high-security building with cameras and doors that lock automatically. Lastly, they also offer mommy and me classes for infants to children five years of age. With these, it is really one of the best daycares in Orlando, Florida.
7. Cranium Academy
Cranium Academy deserves a spot in our guide for the best daycares in Orlando. They provide exceptional care for infants. With their preschool program for children two to five years of age, their advanced curriculum involves critical thinking and team-building skills.
The elementary school also provides children with math, social studies, music, reading, art, and even foreign languages! Lastly, they also offer opportunities for field trips and holidays camps.
8. KinderCare Orlando
When looking at the best daycares in Orlando, you will come across KinderCare. This facility offers care for infants and pre-kindergarten children.
Their curriculum involves a play-based approach that inspires the children to grow and learn at their own pace. More specially, the pre-school curriculum combines early academia such as math and English– and social-emotional development.
And the infant and toddler curriculum focuses on language development with a hands-on approach. Lastly, KinderCare believes in independent play and learning. So your child will never be enforced or directed towards something they don’t feel comfortable doing.
9. Loving Earth Preschool and Development Center
You won’t finish your best daycares in Orlando lists without this school. Loving Earth Preschool and Development Center provides education and cares for infants under six weeks to children eight years of age.
Their curriculum involves art, math, technology, science, and even sign language! They also offer gymnastics and dance classes for older children. And what makes this facility part of our list of the best daycares in Orlando is that they provide a character development program.
This program teaches young children how to be more respectful, build friendships, be honest, and be generous.
10. Growing Together Academy
Last but not least, we have the Growing Together Academy on our list for the best daycares in Orlando! This family-owned facility and private school provide extended hours for all families!
They don’t offer infant care, but they do provide care for toddlers and pre-school-aged children. The curriculum covers science, dance, language, writing, math, and music!
They also offer free VPK and before and after school programs. Lastly, they also provide children with a healthy meal to keep them energized throughout the day.
The Best Daycares in Orlando at Your Convenience
Now that you know about the best daycares in Orlando, you can begin enrolling your child! But always remember to ask for recommendations from past members, family, and friends. This way, you know you’ve made the best decision possible for your child.
But if you’re ready to enroll in one of the best daycares in Orlando, contact us today to schedule a tour.

Review for: Universal Islands-of-Adventure theme park
Useful information 🙂
Very cool amusement park. We took tickets to 2 parks and an Express Unlimited Pass, hoping to avoid the lines. We spent the first day at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Attractions (Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure (bags and backpacks are not allowed, you need to stand in another line and leave them for storage. Only bananas are allowed with you) and Jurassic World VelociCoaster (a very scary slide even for roller coasters )), in which there are the largest queues Express Unlimited Pass does not work (this made us very upset, since the queues were 30-40 minutes long, which, in principle, negates the need to purchase the Express Unlimited Pass). There are a couple of water rides, dress in quick-drying clothes (jeans haven’t dried all day). Near such rides there are drying booths for $5, but they will help to dry your hair and a light T-shirt a little. Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges left the most impressions – a huge amount of positive emotions and laughter, soaked through. Before you try to dry off, go to Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls nearby (I also liked it, but it got a little scary from the steep descents).

Review for: Discovery Cove
The most interesting place in Orlando!!!
A wonderful place where you can relax after a long flight, we decided to visit on the first day. We were in the last days of April, right after the American holidays, there were very few visitors. Tickets could be bought right on the spot on the same day (of course, we followed the information on the site so that they were exactly there). We did not reserve in advance, you can pay by credit card and cash. After we paid, we were photographed and issued cards with which you can visit Sea world and Aquatica water park within 14 days. We didn’t swim with dolphins (having read the reviews too), but we swam a lot with fish. It may not be so interesting for experienced divers (I read someone’s review), but this place is absolutely for everyone (including children, the elderly, who cannot swim well) to communicate with tropical fish. I never intended to study as a diver, to travel somewhere, dive, buy equipment, etc. I never had any plans, I just would like to swim among all kinds of fish once in my life, see them up close and I succeeded in this place. There was no underwater camera, I photographed fish from the bridge and stingrays near the shore. The stingrays are huge, they are not afraid of anyone at all, they swim very close and you can touch them. Do not wear earrings and other jewelry – the fish may be interested and want to try it. It is better to swim in special suits, we tried at first in vests – but it was a bit cold. You can also feed the tropical birds, if you’re lucky – some bird may sit on you and peck right out of your hands. But the birds seemed to me somehow a little sleepy and overfed, probably a lot of people who want to feed them. You can also swim in the “lazy river” and sunbathe on the white sand. You do not need to take sunscreen, there is a special one. A fairly large selection of food and drinks that are included in the price (I remember big hamburgers, fried salmon with potatoes, fruit salads and delicious desserts). The shuttle from the hotel took us only to Sea world, then you need to call the phone from the machine at the stop at Sea world and they will come for you. Back, if you want, they can also take you to Sea world. You can transfer to a shuttle from the hotel or to a trolleybus that travels along International drive.

Review for: Avatar Flight of Passage
Best Disney ride to date
Feels like a super-real banshee flight. This is exactly what a virtual reality attraction should be. The only problem is the terrible queues. We did not use the fast pass in advance (it was possible to book 30 days before the date of visit), as a result, there were no time windows for the fast pass a few days before our dates. On the first day, we stood in line for almost two hours. In the second, they came to the opening and immediately rushed to this attraction, but still stood in line for 45 minutes.

Review for: Disney Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Protect your eyes and save your glasses! And in general, rely only on yourself!
Do not repeat our mistakes! Climbing the water slides, I did not even think that I would lose glasses with diopters. a harmless-looking slide on an inflatable circle suddenly ends in a small springboard. Your raft turns over and hits you on the head and you find yourself under water. My glasses flew off and ended up at the bottom of the pool. The park worker did not allow even a minute to linger to get them. Where was he before? They could have at least put up a warning sign. We got the glasses … but already broken …

What to see in Orlando with children
While vacationing in Orlando, it is impossible not to visit this wonderful park with popular attractions. It is famous for its multi-level go-kart tracks, roller coasters and two of the tallest Sky Coasters in the world. For kids of all ages, the park has plenty of safe rides, plenty of arcade games, and the Gator Spot, home to over 100 young alligators, including a rare white species. On a hot day, be sure to spend time with your child in the Splash Pad, a playground with a soft non-slip floor, on which water is dispersed from special elements and there are interactive water toys.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy and enjoy interacting with animals in their natural habitat. In this private zoo, you can hold, stroke and feed its inhabitants, who are accustomed to human contact from birth. Here, under the care of employees, on an area of more than 4000 m², sloths, lemurs, kangaroos, monkeys, porcupines, sheep, fallow deer, one-humped camels and other funny animals live.
Exploring the world through active interaction is an easy way to keep your child engaged. Orlando has a wide range of fun activities for kids that give them the opportunity to show their creativity and learn useful skills.
Crayola Experience
When shopping at the Florida Mall, be sure to visit the Crayola Experiment Center with your child. Here you will go on a fun, colorful journey, during which you will see how colored pencils are made and visit a real production show. And then create your own colorful creations using Crayola Model Magic. Toddlers will be able to make souvenirs using melted wax, come up with a new coloring story with famous characters or mystical creatures and bring it to life, become a selfie star and take part in many other interesting activities.
To introduce your child to the basics of healthy eating and cooking, attend a cooking class at Disney Springs. Certified chefs, in a playful way, will teach kids how to cook delicious and healthy dishes from vegetables and fruits. They set themselves the task of inspiring children to make the right gastronomic choice. You can book a place and find out useful information on the official website.
Orlando has a lot of action and quirky things to do that are sure to impress a child.
Blue Man Group show
An enchanting performance that combines comedic elements of theater and concert is performed by “blue aliens”. This show, which does not leave anyone indifferent, can be seen at Universal Studio. Artists with an unearthly appearance perform percussive music on unusual musical instruments, accompanied by lighting effects. The performance of Blue Man Group will be interesting to watch for older children and teenagers.
The Gatorland Zip Line is considered one of the best in the US. It is located at an altitude of more than 360 meters above the lake, which is home to alligators and crocodiles. An amazing flight takes place between the tops of the trees, at a speed of about 45 km per hour. Children of any age can go on this exciting adventure, but kids under 8 years old must be accompanied by their parents. You must book your visit before visiting the park.
All kids love water fun, so please your little one with the opportunity to wakeboard, paddleboard, and walk an inflatable obstacle course at the Orlando Watersports Complex. Experienced instructors will teach the kids all the necessary skills and ensure their safety on the water. Here the whole family will receive a charge of positive impressions and have fun.
Unforgettable adventure awaits young guests at the amusement park and zoo-oceanarium Sea World Orlando. On its territory there are roller and water slides, swings and carousels, themed areas, restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. The most popular rides here are Manta and Kraken. During your rapid descent, be prepared for water splashes, unexpected turns and dead loops at dizzying heights. The park hosts theatrical performances with marine animals – killer whales, dolphins, seals and lions. Inside the huge aquariums, special arches are made for visitors. Through their transparent walls you can see sharks, rays, barracudas, bottlenose dolphins, poisonous fish, white whales, short-finned pilot whales and other inhabitants of the underwater world. Thematic zones dedicated to Antarctica and the Arctic are transferred to the realm of ice and introduced to their inhabitants – polar bears, walruses, seals and penguins. For these animals, a special habitat has been created, as close as possible to the natural one.
Orlando is home to one of the largest McDonald’s in the US and the world. It covers an area of 1765 m², which houses the fast food restaurant itself and the Kid’s Club Tree House PlayPlace. More than 100 arcade games, bowling, animation and other entertainment await the kids here. Especially for the little guests, the chefs have prepared the Bistro Gourmet menu, which includes panini sandwiches, pasta, freshly baked pizza, ice cream and gourmet cakes, as well as a signature breakfast – French toast with ham and cheese and Belgian waffles.
Eating kids in Orlando is no problem. Near all amusement parks and on their territory there are many catering establishments. Their menu is largely geared towards children.
There are also many family themed cafes and restaurants in this city, here are some of them:
Toothsome Chocolate Emporium – decorated in the style of the 19th century. Here you can taste traditional cuisine, seafood, order incomparable desserts and cocktails. And in the pastry shop there are more than 25 types of chocolate and macaroons, as well as more than 30 types of truffles.
Medieval Times Dinner Tournament – located in a “Spanish medieval castle”. Its guests are treated to delicious dishes during the tournament of knights. They fight for the honor of beautiful ladies on real swords, and their magnificent horses amaze with their grace.
T-Rex – takes guests to the “Paleozoic era”. Here you have to absorb food in a fern forest or an ice cave, surrounded by furry mammoths, dinosaurs and awesome huge octopuses. Also, there is a meteor shower here every 20 minutes. The menu in the restaurant is quite extensive, but it is better to book a table in advance.
Mythos – as if carved into the side of a mountain. Visitors find themselves in a cave with cascading waterfalls, Greek gods and mystical heroes. They will feed here delicious dishes of Mediterranean, Asian and American cuisine.
Taverna Opa – Greek restaurant. Every evening, beautiful girls perform a belly dance here, authentic music sounds and a magical atmosphere captures. The menu at the restaurant is beyond praise – guests are served delicious starters such as Greek village sausages, meatballs and lamb sliders, as well as a variety of seafood and grilled meats.
Chef Mickeys is a restaurant where characters from the famous Mickey Mouse cartoon cook food. During lunch or dinner, they will appear in the hall and delight the guests with their presence, and subsequently, everyone will receive an autographed card from Mickey and his friends. The menu here is extensive – for children and adults a large selection of excellent dishes and sensationally delicious desserts.
Things to know when on holiday with kids in Orlando
Orlando is one of the world’s most popular cities for families. Theme parks are especially popular here. Their visit will be more enjoyable if you know some of the features.
For younger visitors to the city and younger children, Walt Disney World is more suitable – here the minimum height requirements for toddlers are lower than at Universal Studios Orlando, which will be interesting for older children and teenagers.
Since theme parks are crowded places, it sometimes happens that children get lost. Therefore, you should prepare in advance for such a situation and first arrange a meeting with the child near a recognizable store, fountain or other attraction. Children need to be explained that they can ask for help from park staff, who can be recognized by uniforms or badges. It’s also a good idea to pin the parents’ phone numbers to the child’s shirt, especially if the child is still too young to talk.
Most hotels provide free cots and high chairs, but it’s best to reserve them in advance when booking your stay.
If you are traveling with a baby, it will be convenient for you to rent a stroller. This can be done at any park guest service office for only $15-20.
At Walt Disney World, you can keep your little one entertained and switch their attention by finding iconic images of Mickey hidden everywhere. They can be found anywhere in the park, from picture frames and doorknobs to fountains and Cinderella’s castle. So far, over 1,000 hidden Mickeys have been found at Disney.
When visiting Orlando, you can contact the child care service and hire a babysitter. The most popular are Kidz Night Out and The Babysitting Company. All nannies are individually screened, trained in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and undergo a thorough background check. While both companies ask for 24 hour bookings, they can also help at the last minute.
Orlando is a large city, and the attractions in it are located at considerable distances. The easiest way to move between them is by renting a car.
Every second Thursday of the month, after sunset, at 7:00 pm or 8:00 pm, Popcorn Flick in the Park, a free event hosted by the Enzian Cinema, takes place in Central Park. Everyone is invited to come watch classic family movies. Be sure to bring a blanket, snacks, and have a picnic.

The first episodes of the series “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power” seem to have seriously quarreled critics and viewers. Experts are still very pleased with what they saw, couch critics – exactly the opposite. Screen adaptations of Tolkien are a very sensitive topic for fans of the writer’s works, and the new series can also be a test for them.
The plot of the series takes place long before the events described in The Lord of the Rings. The famous rings of power have not yet been created, Sauron has not yet become the main villain, a fragile peace reigns in Middle-earth, the elves defeated Morgoth, the orcs no longer disturb anyone. However, there are all signs that evil has only lurked, although few notice it.
It should immediately be clarified that The Rings of Power can only partly be considered an adaptation of Tolkien’s fantasy worlds. At the heart of the series there is no single and well-known literary material, therefore, along with characters familiar to everyone who read books and watched Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings, there are also characters invented by screenwriters. Probably, this is alarming for many and raises concerns about how new characters in future series will be able to fit into the world of already known ones.
In general, fears about the further course of the series united both critics and viewers. Visual solutions cannot fail to impress even those who are sure that no one better than Peter Jackson can visualize Tolkien’s worlds. Stunning landscapes in a branded fairy haze, dashing battle, interesting special effects – all this is quite in the spirit of Jackson and $ 715 million spent on the first season is visible from the very beginning.
However, the series cannot consist of general plans and battles. The characters have to say something, and the action develops. And so far there are problems with this. Probably the language of the elves seems stupidly pretentious, although it is possible that you can get used to it. It is more difficult to accept the extremely slow pace of the narrative. In the first series, of course, something happened, but the action associated with the characters practically did not budge.
And of course the characters themselves. Here it is much more difficult to reconcile critics and the public. After all, critics are part of the industry, and it has recently adopted a new set of rules for itself, in which there are the terms “feminism”, “cultural diversity”, “identity politics” and stuff like that. Spectators, especially those for whom Tolkien’s books and Peter Jackson’s films have become something of a refuge for the soul, are extremely unhappy with the invasion of new rules on their protected territory.
Of course, they are embarrassed by the powerful fem-energy of Galadriel, bubbling against the background of stupid men, and dark-skinned elves do not cause anything but the question: “Why?”. It must be admitted that many interesting scenarios have already been created on the principles of the new ethics, but the introduction of such attitudes into fairy-tale worlds and the historical context still seems to many to be a rude push of left-liberal views.
There are many angry remarks about the loss in the new series of what is commonly called the spirit of Tolkien. Haters are sometimes difficult to understand, but in this case, their outrage is most likely about the line of clash between good and evil. In Tolkien’s classics and their best film adaptations, the good characters are generous and noble, while the villains embody the nastiest traits.
In Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, this arrangement was strictly observed. But these beautiful pictures were taken at the beginning of the 2000s, when we all lived in slightly different conditions. Since then, a kind of diffusion has taken place between light and darkness, which has become big politics and, of course, has penetrated into popular culture. Perhaps that is why heroes and villains are now beautiful or terrible, depending on the circumstances.
The good news is that Morfydd Clark as Galadriel is fabulously irresistible. You just can’t take your eyes off her, and perhaps this particular character will be able to pull out the series. Elrond, played by Robert Aramayo, probably evokes some association with Legolas, who was played by Orlando Bloom in The Lord of the Rings. True, according to many viewers, these associations are mostly nostalgic, in the spirit of “there were times before.”
At the beginning of the series, of course, it is difficult to understand what it will turn into, but even now we can confidently call “Rings of Power” a spectacle that is pleasing to the eye and has potential. It would be a mistake to watch The Lord of the Rings under the impression. This trilogy, despite its age, still calls all fantasy serials into question.

Naz-Xia (by the name of the main character, as I understand it)?
“Henry VIII” (as Anna Helena Bonham Carter) and “Orlando”, however, the second film is rather mystical. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t, Zefirelli’s Romeo and Juliet is a masterpiece for all time. On the Internet you can download Lenkom’s play “The Royal Games”, again the story of Henry and Anne Boleyn. “Queen Margo” with Adjani.

I had a pretty decent experience at LHWL, but like other schools there were till some issues. Although it was nice to have a small student body, there was little to no diversity and the teachers are not the best for the subjects they teach. I never had a problem in math until I entered pre-calc and was stuck with a teacher whom does not enjoy his job and is not able to teach the class effectively. There are a few teachers who also seem to struggle with keeping their anger to themselves, and many times take it out on their students instead. I have not had any issues in sports at LHWL, but I wish there was a bigger variety, and that more of the sports were co-ed. I feel as though I have been prepared more to go into a Lutheran College, rather than a public college where most kids are looking to go on to. In our science wing it is very strong, but our chemistry program is not that good, many kids end up teaching themselves. Our biology program is very strong though.

My time at Lutheran High School Westland was unlike any other. I was never a kid that would easily fit in with other, but the students here are very accepting and welcome others with open arms. I am a senior this year so i have seen and done everything. The key to making your time amazing at LHWL is to become involved in a sport or club to get to know others and create close relationships. I would not have gone anywhere else but here to get my education and start a new chapter of my life!
Due to its dedicated teachers and supportive atmosphere, Lutheran High Westland is an excellent school. The teachers at Lutheran High all show their love for students in their own unique ways. While some may not be so blatant in their ways of caring, each teacher makes an effort to help their students more than just academically. LWHL’s teachers support their students mentally, spiritually, and even at athletic events which contributes substantially to the united atmosphere. The student body is also full of fun and encouraging individuals that are willing to reach out to others. A day will not go by at Lutheran High where a student does not stand up for an acquaintance or even simply a random classmate. Lutheran High is never lacking in encouragement and positive growth through the support of students and teachers alike.

90,000 Queen Elizabeth II dies. What successes and mistakes did her 70-year reign remember? She became the longest-reigning monarch in Britain and the world. Over the 70 years of her reign, the queen has witnessed the rapid development of technology, the conquest of space and the arms race, the collapse of the socialist system and the complete reshaping of the world, economic crises and insane military expansions. While Elizabeth II was on the throne, Britain itself changed, and 15 British prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, attended audiences with the Queen. How Elizabeth II changed the face of the British monarchy and how her reign will be remembered – in the Lenta. ru gallery.
Out of turn to the throne
Portrait of Elizabeth II as a baby by artist John St. Helier Lander
Image: Culture Club / Getty Images should never have been queen. After the death of George V in 1936, his eldest son Edward took the throne. However, soon a constitutional crisis broke out in the country – the newly-made king announced his desire to marry a divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson.
The marriage was opposed by the government and the Church of England: marrying a divorced woman whose ex-husband is still alive would be completely contrary to religious principles. Despite the pressure of the environment, Edward made a choice in favor of love and abdicated. His younger brother Albert became king, after the coronation he took the name of George VI, and the young princess Lillibet was the first in line for the throne.
A difficult legacy

On the night of February 6, 1952, George VI died of thrombosis. News of her father’s death caught Elizabeth in Kenya, and she returned to London as Queen of Great Britain. “I pray to God for help in this difficult burden that was placed on me at such a young age,” shared the new sovereign.
Elizabeth took the throne in a rather difficult situation: under her father, the collapse of the British Empire began – India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon gained independence, and a young Jewish state of Israel arose in place of Mandatory Palestine. The international situation also remained difficult: the world was just recovering from the consequences of the Second World War, and the Cold War between the USSR and the USA was already gaining momentum.
The TV Queen

Elizabeth’s coronation took place on June 2, 1953. For the first time in the history of the country, the ceremony was televised. She was followed by millions of people around the world, and many Britons even bought their first televisions specifically for this.
“People have to see me to believe me” – such a phrase, according to biographers, more than once sounded from the lips of the queen in almost 70 years of her reign.
An unexpected friendship

The first British Prime Minister the 25-year-old queen had to deal with was Winston Churchill, a very extraordinary and rather difficult politician to communicate with. Historians say that Churchill was so annoyed that “quite a child” was on the throne that he even cried with anger.
However, over time, his attitude towards the queen changed, and a friendship even began between them. It was from Churchill that Elizabeth II began the practice of regular audiences with prime ministers, which she continued until her death. Their meetings were often accompanied by jokes and laughter, and contemporaries recalled that Churchill “was crazy about the queen … and she got more pleasure from audiences with Churchill than with any of his successors.”

In 1955, Churchill resigned due to failing health. He was replaced in this post by conservative Anthony Eden. However, his premiership was short-lived and extremely unsuccessful due to the Suez crisis that erupted in 1956.
Contradictions between the new Egyptian authorities and the United States and Great Britain, as well as the refusal of the two Western powers to finance the construction of the Aswan Dam, pushed Cairo to nationalize the Suez Canal. In response, Great Britain, which owned part of the shares of the shipping artery, signed a secret agreement with France and Israel to attack Egypt.
Despite military successes, Great Britain and France faced strong pressure from the USA, the USSR and the UN and were forced to withdraw their troops. The failure of the operation forced Eden to resign.
Fall of the Empire

The Suez Crisis greatly shook Britain’s position in the world: it became obvious that the country had lost its status as a world leader and became heavily dependent on the United States. This only accelerated the process of the loss of Britain’s colonies, which began under the father of Elizabeth II.
Starting from Ghana, other British colonies in Africa declare their independence one by one. Decolonization is supported by Harold Macmillan, who succeeded Eden as prime minister. Speaking in Cape Town, the politician admitted: “The wind of change is blowing over this continent. And the UK has to reckon with it.”
The collapse of the British Empire finally took shape with the transfer of Hong Kong to the PRC in 1997. It was replaced by the Commonwealth of Nations, which consists of only 16 countries.
Her Majesty’s Greatest Mistake

In 1966, the UK was rocked by a terrible tragedy when rocks collapsed at a coal mine in the village of Aberfan in South Wales. The landslide in a matter of moments covered the school, located at the foot of the mountain. The victims were 28 adults and 116 children, most of whom were 7-10 years old. Aberfan lost an entire generation.
Fearing that her presence would stall rescue operations, Elizabeth sent her husband Philip to Aberfan. “People will be distracted by me and may not notice some poor child who could be found under the rubble,” the queen explained.
Elizabeth visited the affected village only eight days after the tragedy and regretted her choice for a long time. “I feel like one of the biggest mistakes of my entire reign was not coming to Aberfan earlier,” she told those close to her.
Irish turmoil

In the late 1960s, movement for the region’s independence from Great Britain and its unification with the Republic of Ireland gained momentum in Northern Ireland. The conditional date of the beginning of the bloody conflict between the “republicans” and “loyalists”, called “troubles”, is considered to be 1969. Then the supporters of both camps staged a multi-day street battle in the Northern Irish city of Londonderry.
The Head of Government of Northern Ireland asked London to bring in British troops. In 1971, the separatist Irish Republican Army killed the first British soldier. In total, over 38 years of the conflict, 3.5 thousand people died on both sides.
Bloodshed in Londonderry

On January 30, 1972, the British military gunned down a peaceful demonstration in Londonderry. 13 unarmed protesters were killed, including teenagers and one priest. Eyewitnesses said that the military shot in cold blood those who tried to escape or help the wounded, and did not let the ambulances near.
This event, which went down in history as “Bloody Sunday”, angered not only the Irish separatists, but also many British politicians. Of particular outrage was the fact that in the same year, Lieutenant Colonel Derek Wilford, who commanded the soldiers who shot the protesters, was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Elizabeth II.
Lady against the Queen

May 4, 1979 for the first time in the history of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, for her toughness and inflexibility, she received the nickname “Iron Lady”. Under her leadership, Great Britain entered the war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands. The success of the military campaign became a kind of revenge for the Suez crisis and largely determined the premiership of Thatcher, who is still considered one of the brightest and most successful British politicians to this day.
On the face of it, Thatcher and Elizabeth—two women at the head of Britain, born just six months apart—should get along. However, the biographers of both and the press tend to believe that the relationship between them was extremely tense.
In 1986, The Sunday Times reported, citing aides to Elizabeth II, that the queen was very dissatisfied with her prime minister’s policies. Thatcher categorically refused to impose sanctions against apartheid in South Africa, which, in the opinion of the Queen, undermined Britain’s relations with other countries in the region and could turn into the death of the Commonwealth. In Buckingham Palace, these media reports, of course, denied.

In the meantime, “troubles” in Ireland did not subside. On August 27, 1979, IRA fighters blew up the yacht of Elizabeth II’s cousin, 79-year-old Lord Louis Mountbatten, who, along with his family, was vacationing in a summer house in the north-west of Ireland and went fishing that day. Together with Mountbatten, his grandson, his daughter’s mother-in-law and an Irish boy who worked on a yacht were killed. On the same day, the IRA blew up a British convoy in the northeast of Ireland, killing 18 troops.
On October 12, 1984, Irish extremists bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton, where the British Conservative Party convention was being held. Five people were killed and more than 30 were injured. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was miraculously unharmed in the attack.
The long-awaited reconciliation

In the 1990s, a peace process begins, the main result of which is the signing of the Belfast Agreement in 1998. In 2011, Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch in 100 years to visit the Republic of Ireland. And in 2012, the Queen first met with the former head of the IRA, who led the group during the murder of her cousin, and shook his hand.
“These events touched all of us, many of us personally, and remain a painful legacy. We can never forget those who died or were injured and their families,” the Queen said in Dublin. “Looking back, we all understand that we should have done something differently or not done at all.”
Evolution of the Monarchy

Along with Britain and the world, the British monarchy itself has been rapidly changing. Under Elizabeth II, it is becoming more and more open: excursions to Buckingham Palace begin to be led, and the main events from the life of members of the royal family become public and broadcast to the whole world.
The members of the royal family themselves are beginning to adhere to a stricter protocol and dress like ordinary British people, indulge in the same entertainment and even marry people from lower strata of society.
Closer to the people

The British Queen often set the tone for change by her own example. Back in 1970, Elizabeth II introduced a new practice of communicating with subjects, the so-called “royal walk” – walking along the streets of the city, she greeted and communicated with ordinary people. A from 1992 year old British monarch even started paying taxes.
In addition, the British Queen was not without a sense of humor: she starred in a video in the spirit of Bondiana for the opening of the Olympic Games in London, and together with her grandson Prince Harry recorded a humorous video message to US President Barack Obama. “Let’s not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom,” said the monarch.
Royal neutrality

Elizabeth II never voiced her political position or criticized the actions of her government. But this does not mean that the British queen ignored important events in her native country and in the world: her words were always imbued with aspiration for peace, they encouraged the people in moments of hardship and deprivation and gave hope for a brighter future.
“I don’t lead you into battle and I don’t write laws. But I’m still capable of something. I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and the people of the United Kingdom,” said the monarch.
Secret influence

However, it would be a mistake to assume that the role of Elizabeth II in the political life of Great Britain is purely ceremonial. The Guardian newspaper conducted an investigation, during which it found out that the queen and her lawyers managed to lobby for changes in legislation when it was in the interests of the royal family.
To do this, they used the “royal assent” procedure, according to which Parliament must obtain the consent of the monarch to consider a bill if it could affect the privileges and private interests of the royal family. For example, according to National Archives documents, in the 1970s, Elizabeth II’s personal lawyer pressured ministers to change the Financial Transparency Bill so as not to publicize the monarch’s shareholding.
Death of husband

On April 9, 2021, Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip, died at the age of 99, two months before his centenary. According to their son, Prince Andrew, the loss left a huge void in the Queen’s life.
However, just four days after the death of her husband, the British monarch has already returned to her royal duties. She also showed steadfastness and endurance at Philip’s funeral, taking with her to the farewell ceremony a photograph from Malta, where they lived before her ascension to the throne.

In June 2022, Elizabeth II celebrated the platinum anniversary – 70 years from the date of ascension to the throne. The celebrations were accompanied by a military parade, concerts and numerous exhibitions dedicated to the Queen and the Crown.
But the celebrations were soon overshadowed by the political crisis that broke out in the kingdom. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who only managed to avoid a no-confidence vote due to lockdown-breaking parties on Downing Street, was embroiled in a new scandal: his close associate and protégé Chris Pincher was accused of drunken debauchery and harassment of visitors to an elite Conservative club. It turned out that Pincher had been repeatedly complained about before, and Johnson not only knew about the accusations, but also made fun of the behavior of his subordinate. The scandal forced the premier to resign on 7 July.
Johnson was replaced as head of the ruling Conservative Party by former Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. On September 6, Elizabeth II held audiences with both at the Scottish castle of Balmoral and appointed Truss to the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The audiences seem to have worn the Queen down. The doctors recommended that Elizabeth II rest and cancel the meeting of the Privy Council, scheduled for the next day, September 7. But despite the break, the queen’s condition continued to deteriorate, which caused serious concern among doctors. On September 8, the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, and the rest of the Queen’s children, as well as her grandchildren, Princes William and Harry, left for Balmoral.
On the same day, Elizabeth II died at the age of 97. As expected, the next day, Prince Charles will be proclaimed the king of Great Britain, after which he will soon go on a mourning tour throughout the kingdom and meet with the leadership of the regions, as well as with ordinary subjects. The Queen’s body will be moved from Scotland to the Palace of Westminster. Elizabeth II’s state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey 10 days after her death, on September 18.

Florida VPK – How to Sign Up for Free Prekindergarten for Your 4-Year-Old
The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program – or VPK – is a FREE prekindergarten program for 4-year-olds who reside in Florida. Participation in a Pre-K program can help prepare a child for success in elementary school and beyond. Children practice age-appropriate skills as they play to help them learn to follow directions, be attentive, work with classmates, recognize letters and numbers, and more.
The State of Florida pays for 1 year of VPK attendance per child, and all 4-year-olds are eligible, regardless of family income. Details regarding the types of providers, VPK options, and how to apply can be found below.
Table of Contents
FAQ’s about VPK in Florida
Who is eligible for VPK in Florida?
Every 4-year-old is eligible for free VPK in Florida. They are eligible during the school year that begins AFTER they turn 4. For example, a child who turns 4 on October 9, 2021 or January 9, 2022 (etc) would be eligible to start VPK in the fall of 2022. All children are eligible, VPK is not an income-based program.
Delayed VPK Enrollment Option – A law was passed in 2016 allowing parents with children born between Feb. 2 through Sept. 1 to postpone enrolling their child in VPK the year they turn 4 and wait until the following year when their child is 5. This allows parents of younger 4-year-olds to delay the year their child begins VPK, enabling the child to begin kindergarten and first grade as a slightly older, more mature student. Following the example above, a child who turns 4 on April 9, 2021 or August 9, 2022 (etc) would be eligible to start VPK in the fall of 2022 OR delay and start in fall of 2023. You don’t need to apply on your “assigned” year if you plan to delay, simply wait until the following year.
How many hours is VPK in Florida?
Florida VPK Programs are typically 3 hours each day. Many providers offer “wrap-around care” which covers the remainder of the day for a fee.
The VPK School Year Program includes a total of 540 instructional hours. The Summer VPK Program includes 300 instructional hours. Providers have flexibility to structure the hours per day and days per week to meet the required number of instructional hours, so each program will look different – some could be 8:30-11:30am, others 12pm-3pm.
Is there a VPK Attendance Policy in Florida?
Yes, all Florida VPK programs have an attendance policy. Programs are at risk of losing funding if a child misses more than 20% of the VPK program’s instructional hours. VPK providers will provide parents with a copy of their written attendance policy upon enrollment.
Is every preschool in Florida a VPK?
No, not every preschool with a PreK-4 class is considered a VPK. The State of Florida has a set of standards and progress reporting guidelines that a child care provider must agree to follow in order to accept VPK Certificates (funding). Not all preschools choose to participate.
Are students in Florida required to attend VPK?
No, children in Florida are not required to attend VPK, it is an optional program. Florida law says children are required to attend school the year they turn 6 by February 1.
What are the alternatives to VPK?
Additional child care options for children age 4 – 5 include private preschools, church preschools, or charter schools that do not offer VPK (they still have a preschool program for 4-year-olds but don’t accept VPK Vouchers as payment), Head Start programs (income based), or home daycares. Visit our full article on Childcare Options in Florida to learn more about the difference between daycares, preschools, VPK, and opportunities for assistance with child care expenses.
How to apply for Florida VPK Programs
This is where we get into the nitty-gritty of how to actually get your child signed up for VPK in Florida – specifically in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and all of Polk County. (If you live in a different county, contact your Early Learning Coalition for more information – you must apply in the county where you live).
Florida VPK providers include public elementary schools, local charter schools, private preschools, and religious-affiliated preschools. There are 2 steps to getting enrolled – getting a VPK Voucher and signing up for a VPK Program.
Step 1 – Apply for your VPK Certificate of Eligibility
Visit the Early Learning Coalition of Polk County’s website and log into the Family Portal to apply. You can begin this process on January 1 of the year you plan for your child to start VPK. You will need the documents listed below in electronic format to submit with your online application.
One Proof of Florida Residence – Examples include: utility bill (electric, gas water), cable bill, home phone bill, Pay stub, driver’s license, ID Card, etc. – full list can be found in the application
One Proof of Child’s Age – Examples include: Original or certified copy of the child’s birth record filed according to law with the appropriate public officer, Passport or certificate of the child’s arrival in the United States, Immunization record signed by a public health officer or licensed practicing physician – full list can be found in the application
If a family does not have access to technology to access the VPK application online, contact the Early Learning Coalition of Polk County to make alternative application arrangements (click here for office locations and phone numbers).
Step 2 – Find a VPK Provider + Apply
In addition to applying for a VPK Certificate (Step 1 above) you must also apply and be admitted to a VPK Program. There are multiple locations for VPK and our goal is to help you understand where, when, and how to apply. Here are the options for VPK Programs in Polk County:
Polk County Public Schools VPK Programs
VPK (Voluntary PreK)is currently offered at 23 elementary school sites throughout Polk County. Any child residing in Polk County can apply to attend VPK at one of these sites. Polk Schools VPK Programs are either a free half-day OR full-day with parent co-pay, it varies by location.
Title 1 PK is a federally funded full-day preschool program for 4-year-old children residing in select Title 1 school zones. There are currently 21 sites in Polk County. Due to strict funding guidelines for Title 1 PreK programs, only children residing in that school’s zone can apply to attend a Title 1 PK program. All Title 1 PK programs are a full day with no additional cost.
Use the PCPS Zone Finder to locate your zoned school, then visit the Polk Preschool website or application to see a list of VPK and Title 1 PK locations.
Title 1 PK vs. VPK Designation: Title 1 provides additional funding for supplemental academic support to schools with a high percentage of poverty. Schools are assessed each year to ensure that low-income, at-risk students have access to preschool programs. A school previously designated as a VPK may now be a Title 1 PK, and vice versa.
Not all elementary schools in Polk County have a VPK or Title 1 PK program. If your zoned school does not have either of these programs, you can still apply for a VPK program at a nearby elementary school, or Head Start if you are eligible. Call the Polk PreK office at (863) 648-3051 if you need assistance identifying your closest VPK program.
How to apply: If you would like for your child to attend VPK at your zoned school or another school, you must apply beginning in the spring of the year your child is eligible to attend in the fall. Visit the PCPS Preschool website to apply. Please note that there is limited space for Polk Preschool VPK and the completion of an application does not guarantee a spot.
NEW in 2022 – The Polk Preschools VPK and Title 1 PK application process has changed and is now entirely online. Applications are accepted on the PCPS Preschool website beginning in March each year. There is now an application window of approximately 1 month to ensure that all families have an opportunity to apply for VPK or Title 1 PK. Applications will be sorted by zoned school and applicants top choices and then processed. Parents who apply during the initial application window will be notified in April. Parents can also submit an application after the original priority application window, open spaces will be filled throughout the year.
Editor’s Note – in previous years, applications were accepted in person at the Preschool office and processed in the order they were received, so families lined up really early in the morning on the first day to submit applications. The application process has been completely revamped and there are no more early lines or rush to apply on the day applications are available.
The Polk Preschool VPK and Title 1 PK application includes the following information:
Year – Be sure to select the correct application year, the current school year and future school year will both be open for applications during certain times of the year.
Program Options – you will select from 1 of these 3 choices:
Half Day – Covers 3 hours at no cost, select your preference for AM or PM
Full Day – Cost is $12 per day
Title 1 PK – Covers full day at no cost, only available for those in the school zone
Location – you will select your top 3 choices for locations
Required Documentation – be sure you have all of the following ready in electronic format:
Original VPK Certificate of Eligibility (issued for Polk) – Must be signed and dated (lines #18 & #19) to be considered as completed (STEP 1 above)
Copy of child’s birth certificate (not hospital record)
Parent/Guardian picture ID
Proof of Residence #1
Proof of Residence #2
TIPS BEFORE YOU APPLY: 1) Identify your zoned school and determined if it is a Title 1 school, VPK, or neither. The application does NOT identify if you are in a certain VPK or Title 1 PK Zone based on address – you will need to do this research yourself.
2) Select up to 3 schools (2 are required). The easiest way we found is to View the application and select between Full Day, Half Day, or Title 1 PK, it will narrow down the list of schools for you. This is helpful in determining your top 3 choices.
3) Be sure your documents are in electronic format and ready to upload before you start the application.
Private Preschools + Charter Schools
The VPK application mentioned above is ONLY for locations at Polk County Public Schools. If you are interested in attending VPK at a private preschool, church preschool, Montessori preschool, McKeel preschool or other charter school, you will have to contact each school directly – they all have their own application process and may only accept applications for a limited window each year.
A note regarding charter schools – while these are free public schools, they are only free for grades K-12. If you are interested in attending VPK or preschool at a charter school you will likely pay for wraparound care outside of the ~3 hours covered by VPK.
Unfortunately, we’ve heard from a lot of moms and dads lately that it is difficult to find a preschool with openings. Our best advice is to get on the waitlist as soon as possible if you have a specific preschool in mind (most private providers will allow you to join the waitlist prior to applying for your VPK certificate) and be prepared to make phone calls.
R
esources to help locate a VPK near you:
The Early Learning Coalition is a great resource in your child care search. The ELC website has helpful guidelines on picking a provider as well as a list of VPK programs by city, and you can also call for current availability and assistance with childcare payments.
Florida Child Care Search – The Florida Department of Children and Families has a database of all licensed child care providers in Florida. We recommend using it on a desktop to fully take advantage of the search features. You can search by zip code or city (recommended), and then use the filter bar to narrow down your search if you need VPK, a provider that accepts School Readiness, full day, food served, etc.
Lakeland Moms Facebook Group – Join the group and search past posts for recommended daycares, preschools/VPK, or post with what age and location you’re searching for.
Childcare, Preschool & VPK Guide – We have a list of reader recommended and self submitted childcare providers in our directory, but it is not comprehensive, there are many more that have not yet been added (there are almost 400 licensed sites in Polk County).
Remember that not all preschools for 4 year olds accept VPK certificates. You can use the links above (Polk ELC and Florida DCF) to find VPK providers, and the most accurate source will be to ask the facility if they accept VPK certificates.
PreK for Students with Disabilities
PreK ESE Programs are also available at select Polk County schools. Visit the Polk Schools ESE PreK website for more information on screening and other FAQ’s.
A child who has an IEP and is age-eligible for VPK can also choose Specialized Instructional Services Providers (VPK-SIS) instead of a traditional VPK Program. SIS can provide specific therapy including speech therapy, physical or occupational therapy, ABA services, and more from a certified or licensed professional.
Benefits of early education and the VPK program
Participation in a Pre-K program can help prepare a child for success in elementary school and beyond. Research has shown that children who participate in high-quality early childhood education programs develop better language skills, score higher in school-readiness tests and have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school.
For additional information on Polk County’s VPK programs, call the Early Learning Coalition office at (863) 577-2450 and their helpful staff can answer any questions and walk you through the process.

Title I Preschool Programs
Eligible Children
A preschool-age child is one who is below the grade level at which the LEA provides a free public elementary education. For the purpose of Title I, children from birth to the age that the LEA provides free public elementary education. Certain children are deemed automatically eligible to participate in a Title I preschool program, including:
Children who participated in Head Start, received services supported by the Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grants program within Literacy Education for All, Results for the Nation (LEARN) (formerly known as Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Program), or attended a Title I preschool program at any time in the prior two years;
Children who received services under Title I, Part C (migrant education) in the prior two years;
Preschool-aged children experiencing homelessness; and
Children who are in a local institution or attending a community day program for neglected or delinquent children and youth (ESEA section 1115(c)(2)).
Additional students eligible to participate include,
Children who live in the attendance area of Title I schools operating schoolwide programs for eligible for preschool services.
To be eligible to attend a Title I preschool in a targeted assistance school, preschool-aged children must be failing or most at risk of failing to meet the state’s challenging student academic achievement standards as determined by >multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the district and supplemented by the school or who participate in a Head Start or Migrant Educational Program.
Why implement Title I preschool programs?
Title I preschool programs are intended to assist children most at risk of failing to meet the State’s challenging academic standards based on multiple, educationally related, objective criteria. Title I funds can be used to create or enhance existing preschool programs to prepare children to enter elementary school with the social, emotional, language, cognitive, and early reading skills they need to succeed. Providing high-quality early childhood experiences helps to ensure that children in Title I schools and programs have the foundation to meet challenging state academic achievement standards and experience success throughout elementary and secondary school.
Based on non-regulatory guidance that has been released by the United States Department of Education, a National Center for Education Statistics longitudinal study shows that children from low-income families who attended center-based preschool programs in the year before kindergarten earned higher scores at the beginning of kindergarten on math, reading, cognitive flexibility, and for approaches to learning than their peers who did not participate in an early learning program the year before starting kindergarten.
Ways of Using Title I Funds to Create New Title I Preschool Programs
Reaching families and children at risk before they enter elementary school.
Providing high-quality early childhood programs with sufficient instructional time to impact children who are at-risk of academic failure.
Giving teachers the skills necessary to work with young children at risk of school failure.
Creating programs to build strong school-parent relationships that ensure student success in elementary school and beyond.
Preparing low-income and disadvantaged children to enter kindergarten and to improve transitions into the LEA or elementary school that enrolls children.
Ways of Using Title I Funds to Expand and Supplement Existing Preschool Programs
Expand or Supplement Head Start
Using Title I funds to serve children who cannot be served through Head Start due to a lack of capacity.
Providing services to Title I-eligible children who are not eligible for Head Start.
Providing additional services to children in Head Start who are also eligible for Title I services by:
Extending the daily program to a full-day;
Increasing the numbers of instructional days;
Providing services at times when Head Start is not operating;
Enriching services through the provision of extra personnel to work with Title I-eligible children in Head Start classrooms
Increasing the number of home visits to students most at risk of failing to meet the State’s challenging academic standards.
Expand or Supplement Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK)
Providing additional services to children in VPK classrooms who are also eligible for Title I services by:
Extending the daily voluntary prekindergarten program to provide full-day instruction for VPK children who are also Title I eligible;
Increasing the numbers of instructional days;
Providing services at times when VPK is not operating;
Enriching services through the provision of extra personnel to work with Title I-eligible children in VPK classrooms;
Increasing the number of home visits to students most at risk of failing to meet the State’s challenging academic standards.
Providing professional development that includes:
Training on the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards for Four-Year-Olds (2017);
Strategies to maximize instructional time through effective classroom management;
Literacy training;
Language and vocabulary development; and
Supporting a culturally diverse classroom environment.
Providing opportunities for ongoing training and parental involvement to reinforce classroom instruction.
Title I Preschool Programs
Transition to Kindergarten
Districts must have a plan for coordinating, collaborating, and integrating the Title I preschool program with other early childhood educational services to support families and successfully transition children into kindergarten. Based on studies completed by the National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning (NCQTL), in collaboration with the National Center on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement (NCPFCE):
“Smooth transitions from preschool to kindergarten depend on connections made between participants in the process, such as those between schools and families, and between preschool and kindergarten teachers and classrooms, especially connections made prior to kindergarten entry. Aligning preschool and kindergarten practices, standards, curricula, and assessments is an important element for promoting successful transitions. ”
Examples of transition-related activities may include:
Sharing assessment data;
Promoting summer learning programs;
Engaging families;
Implementing joint professional development opportunities that involve both community-based.
Preschool Children in Foster Care
Public schools offering preschool education must meet the Title I requirements for children in foster care, including ensuring that the child(ren) remain in his or her preschool of origin unless a determination is made that it is not in the child’s best interest. Districts must coordinate services to ensure that children in foster care may access early educational services for which they are eligible, including Head Start and Early Head Start, home visiting, and preschool programs administered by the district. Students in foster care may not be separated from the mainstream school environment because of foster care placement. Additionally, Title I supports the needs of children who are homeless by expanding the use of funds reserved for homeless children and youths to encompass all children who are homeless, not just those in non-Title I schools.
Examples of allowable services supporting children in foster care may include:
Transportation
Referrals for medical services
Afterschool programs
Mentoring
School supplies
Support staff for the homeless liaison

The Early Learning Coalition of Alachua County (ELCAC) would like to welcome all prospective childcare providers to this community of hardworking people dedicated to early childhood education. ELCAC serves as a resource for families and providers regarding the School Readiness (SR) and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Programs.
The VPK Program lays the steppingstones to Kindergarten success by following FL developmental standards: http://www.floridaearlylearning.com/vpk/vpk-providers/the-vpk-class. Although it is FREE for families, approved VPK providers in Alachua County are reimbursed $4.51 per VPK instructional hour per VPK child enrollment in the School Year Program and $6.93 per VPK instructional hour per VPK child enrollment in the Summer Program. The VPK School Year Program consists of 540 total instructional hours and the VPK Summer Program consists of 300 total instructional hours.
If you are interested in offering a VPK program at your childcare business, you must first request and receive a license or license exemption letter from the Department of Child and Families (DCF): https://www.myflfamilies.com/service-programs/child-care/child-care-licensure.shtml. Once you’re registered through DCF, you may start the contracting process with ELCAC.
The contracting process is now entirely online through the statewide Provider Portal. This website was deployed by the Florida Office of Early Learning (OEL) in 2017 to streamline the exchange and verification of required forms and supporting documents. It has gone through many data fixes and feature releases throughout its first few years. We appreciate your patience and understanding as it continues to be developed. Furthermore, please be aware that you are welcome to use the shared resources (internet, computers, scanners, printers, etc.) in our main lobby during normal business hours.
To start the contracting process with ELCAC, create an account in the Provider Portal by clicking the blue “here” on the righthand side of the log-in page: https://providerservices.floridaearlylearning.com/Account/Login. The account must be created by an individual authorized as a contract representative for your childcare business such as the owner or director. After you have successfully registered for an account, email the ELCAC Provider Contracts Coordinator, Brandi Thomas (bthomas@elcalachua. org), to request activation. Please keep in mind that each step in the contracting process requires approval before the next step is available so don’t be discouraged if you can’t move forward right away.
Once your account is activated by ELCAC, Brandi Thomas ([email protected]) will email you a locally created instructional packet to help you create a profile in the Provider Portal. Profiles contain both Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) and contract information. The CCR&R data will be shared with the governor’s office, legislature, state officials, agencies, and families seeking childcare. It’s a wonderful opportunity to market your program to a wide range of families at no cost! The contract data will be auto-populated into fixed fields of the VPK Contract later in the contracting process. For these reasons, it is imperative that your profile is entirely accurate.
All status changes within the Provider Portal trigger an automatic email notification from DONOTREPLY@oel. myflorida.com. Profiles are often rejected multiple times before approval due to inconsistent or missing information. If your profile is rejected, you will find a list of corrections needed written by ELCAC in the “Additional Comments” section at the bottom of the email from [email protected]. It is recommended that you check your email inbox daily as email is ELCAC’s main form of communication.
After your profile is changed to an “Active” status by ELCAC, Brandi Thomas will email you another locally created instructional packet to help you complete a VPK Application and VPK Contract. The VPK Application will consist of your VPK attendance policy, director, instructors, calendars, and classes. The VPK Contract will consist of auto-populated business information, FL Rule/Statute dictating the responsibilities of each party, and some additional voluntary options. The contracting process is complete when your VPK Contract is set to a “Certified” status by ELCAC. Then, you will be considered an approved VPK provider for Alachua County!
If you have questions regarding VPK provider eligibility, general information, or the contracting process, please email Brandi Thomas (bthomas@elcalachua. org). You can also browse OEL’s website for more details about the VPK Program: http://www.floridaearlylearning.com/vpk/families/finding-local-vpk-programs.
Thank you for your interest and efforts towards serving the children of Alachua County!

Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) is a free program designed to prepare four-year-old children for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success. VPK is available to all four-year-old children born on or before September 1st that reside in Florida, regardless of family income.

The Office of Early Learning oversees the program at the state level and our Coalition implements the program in St. Lucie County by contracting with eligible public and private child care providers through an application process. The VPK providers have flexibility in structuring the hours per day and days per week to meet the required instructional hours:
What is the Voluntary Prekindergarten Program?
Children who are four on or before September 1, are entitled to participate in one of the VPK program options. Since VPK providers have flexibility in structuring the hours per day and days per week to meet the required instructional hours, program hours may vary. For example, if a program is 180 days (similar to a school-year calendar), it would offer 3 hours of instruction each day to meet the 540-hour requirement. Contact the provider for information on their structure.
To help answer your questions or concerns at Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) team members are available Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM by calling 772-595-6363.

VPK Parent Handbook (PDF)
How kindergartens are organized in the USA: a quiet hour in sleeping bags, pizza for lunch and endless fun – the sea. We decided to check if this is really the case: we talked with Russian mothers whose children went to kindergartens in the states of Kentucky, Georgia and Florida.
And based on their stories, they made up a picture of the life of a typical American kindergartener.
Historically, the USA is a country where the cult of the big family is still alive. The perfect picture is a big house, three kids and a dog. Each child has his own room, and mother is a housewife. There is no maternity leave in the USA as a fact, there are no public kindergartens there either. And if you have more than one child, then kindergarten is simply unprofitable, it turns out to be very expensive. It is much easier to hire a live-in nanny or even two than to send two or three children to kindergarten. Thus, we formulate the first rule of the club: kindergartens in the USA are not fun for everyone.
Any garden for your money
All gardens in the USA are private, which means that it is not difficult to get into them. Unless you have to sign up for a kindergarten in advance (about a year in advance), if there are many people in the area and it is quite prestigious, a typical family one. But there will definitely be a place. The area of residence here is very important, since a good school (and it will be free) simply cannot be located in a disadvantaged area.
Kindergarten pricing varies from state to state and borough to borough. But the cost below $ 800 per month is almost impossible to find. On average, the price per month is 1000-1500 dollars. If you need a kindergarten from birth, then it will be a completely different order of prices – higher.
For the most part, kindergartens are designed for children aged 3-5. After five, kindergarten begins, that is, an almost full-fledged elementary school. Kindergartens, any, here are called pre-school, that is, everything that is before school.
Each garden in the USA is a separate state with its own laws
Each has its own rules, customs, daily routine. And it is almost impossible to find two identical kindergartens, unless it is some kind of network.
But there is something that unites kindergartens in the USA. All of them work until 5 p.m. maximum. Finding a garden that is open until 6 or 7 pm is very difficult. And most often, working parents are also forced to hire a nanny who will pick up the child from the garden.
In general, kindergartens here are divided into two categories: those that work conditionally full time (daycare), and those that work 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week.
Kindergartens are considered here not as an opportunity to take care of a child while the mother is at work, but as a variant of socialization, preparation for school. At the same time, the kindergartens themselves have nothing to do with schools. And even if you learned the alphabet in kindergarten, you will still start with the letter A in kindergarten.
There is also a pre-K state class – this is the initial stage of education, it is already considered a school. And they take it from the age of 4. But at the same time, this step is optional and does not exist everywhere.
They sleep in sleeping bags right in their shoes
In our view, the kindergarten has a playroom and a bedroom for a quiet hour, as well as a hall for physical education and music classes. In the USA, everything is different: one room for everything. In it, children play, eat, and sleep. And they sleep right on the floor. In some gardens, they throw mats on the floor and are allowed to lay a sheet and cover themselves with a blanket that their parents bring from home, in others they are given sleeping bags that are placed on top of low cots. Parents also buy bags themselves, on Fridays they take them away to wash, and on Monday they return them to the kindergarten.
At the same time, children sleep in shoes. In the same one in which they ran along the street, even if they were wearing uggs or boots
You can, of course, agree that the child will have a shift, but no one will follow this. And no one will help him lace up his shoes either. And he will still sleep in shoes. This is related to security. In the event that a fire starts or it is necessary to leave the premises for some other reason, the children, of course, will not have time to get dressed, but they will be shod – it is believed that this reduces many risks.
At the same time, illnesses are treated philosophically here. Snot, cough – not a reason to skip kindergarten. Unless the temperature is high – then you can. And each parent, when concluding an agreement with a kindergarten, signs a lot of papers, including about what medical manipulations can be performed with his child: whether to treat an abrasion with an antiseptic, whether to seal the wound. But in all cases, parents are always called. There is no health worker in the kindergarten, no one conducts medical examinations and vaccinations in kindergartens either.
And they don’t bother with hygiene. No personal towels: there are just paper rolls in the toilets. Combs are not provided: no one combs children after sleep and does not weave five-strand pigtails. As a rule, children come to the garden already potty trained, so there are no problems with this either. But the diaper, if anything, of course, will be changed.
Macaroni and cheese and pizza for lunch
Cereal for breakfast and soup for lunch? Here, children are not tormented like that. Firstly, each kindergarten dictates its own conditions. If the garden is only 3-4 hours a day, then there will be no food at all – only what you yourself put the child with you in lunch boxes. If this is a daycare, that is, a full-day garden, then how lucky. They can ask for your thousand dollars a month to also put food with you for the child, and if food is provided in the garden, then it will be lunch (our lunch) and snacks (our afternoon snack). Moreover, lunch is, as a rule, pasta and cheese, pizza, nuggets, sometimes a tomato or cucumber in addition. Fruit is extremely rare here. Usually, instead of them, flour, sweet and fatty, that is, everything that children love so much and that goes so badly with the idea of most parents about healthy and proper nutrition. No stewed cabbage and steamed fish, occasionally broccoli or cauliflower can be offered, but this is rather an exception to the rule.
Games and fun
In essence, a kindergarten in the US is just a well-organized play space with nannies providing care and supervision. Children here draw, paint, sculpt, make crafts, play on the playground and sing songs about the alphabet and numbers, get acquainted with colors and shapes in a playful way. Yes, as a rule, by the end of kindergarten, thanks to all these songs, children know the alphabet and numbers up to 10. But that’s all.
Poetry is not taught here and matinees are not prepared. They don’t learn songs and dances. There are no group activities. And additional classes for an additional fee are also not provided. There is a large network of international gardens in the USA, which provides an opportunity to take a child to swimming, tennis, and French lessons for an additional fee, but it is very expensive, and it is very difficult to get into these gardens.
But the teachers here always greet you with a smile. And no one yells at children, scolds them
Everyone is very afraid of losing their job and holding on to it, and no one wants a child to complain to his parents that he does not like something.
In some gardens, there are occasional holidays when parents are asked to bring something sweet, but not necessarily homemade cakes, so the familiar footage of how mothers try to make purchased pastries look like homemade is nothing more than an invention of the scriptwriters.
There are no parents’ committees in kindergartens either. It’s a private service here and a lot of money is paid for it, so no additional fees. Sometimes they may say that more albums or pencils are needed, and there will always be volunteer moms who will take care of the purchase. But no more than that. And yes, there are no Saturdays either.
In pre-K, a kind of study is already beginning. Children learn to write their own name. And here they can periodically arrange themed days: “pajama days” or “topsy-down”, when you can come in different socks or shoes, in clothes back to front, and so on. And here it can already be Thanksgiving with lunch and a show for parents, and a Christmas play, and a party in the class. But not in kindergarten.
And in the USA there is no tradition for everyone to go for a walk to the playground in the park after the garden. Everyone goes home or takes older children to classes. And as such, the parent community is not formed in the kindergarten either. It all starts already at school, and that is not at all necessary. Elementary school here is also mostly about fun. However, not everyone likes it.

Editor’s note:
Immigration to Texas. Is Austin suitable for expats?
Is Austin and Texas in general suitable for immigrants?
Austin itself is not cheap (many houses have doubled in price over the past 5-8 years, real estate prices continue to grow). Suburbs and small towns near Austin are cheaper (these are Kyle, Buda, Round Rock, Leander, etc.). If you are looking for housing within the city, then do not look east of the I-35 road, it is believed that there are bad school districts, although right now there are a lot of new construction projects going on there, for example, the same Tesla Gigafactory (more details on the page about districts here – https ://russianaustin. com/poleznoe/karta-ostina).
The Russian community is scattered, most of the Russian speakers live in the southwest of the city in the Circle C area (survey results here – https://russianaustin.com/poleznoe/russian-community-austin-tx), but this is a rather expensive area, although with the best schools. Many people live in the suburbs, including Russians and Russian speakers. The price for renting a house is from $ 1800 per month (approximately) and more, depending on the house (area, location, schools, interior decoration). You can rent both through an agent and on your own (for more details, see the page about Russian-speaking realtors). If you are further from the city, to the south – these are Manchaca, Kyle, Buda and Leander, Round Rock and Georgetown – in the north, prices are lower, but schools are worse (much worse, more details here – https://russianaustin.com/poleznoe/luchshie -shkoly-ostina).
The climate is hot in summer, very hot for some, but suitable for others. In Austin, 9 months is good, and 3 is summer. But the heat is easier to bear than in Houston, say, because the humidity is less.
And the landscapes here are beautiful (you can see in detail where to go on the page about attractions – https://russianaustin.com/poleznoe/kuda-pojti-s-semej-dostoprimechatelnosti)
Building a career in Austin is easy. Pluses – there are a lot of jobs in the city and almost full employment according to statistics. It’s better to apply for positions in advance, and it’s even better to write that you are already in the city – companies often don’t want people from afar, so as not to wait and not pay for the move.
If we talk about social support, then in Texas it is generally difficult with state aid, this is not California. Probably foodstamps, sometimes the very poor are given subsidies for renting housing, but here they do not like to give welfare. And so many homeowners do not accept subsidies from the city and unemployed renters living on welfare. Here the market is such that homeowners often allow themselves to choose, especially if the houses are in an area with good schools. And for homeowners, it’s property protection. But there is a lot of work and different, and the city is the most growing in the country. Free food is often available in schools for poor children, Medicaid for adults, Medicare-Medicaid for the elderly. But sitting on benefits will not work for a long time (for more details, see the file about insurance here).
There are fewer Russians in Austin compared to Houston and Dallas, the people are friendly, as a rule, these are either professionals who came on a work visa, or the wives of American husbands. Until March 2022, there was a Russian store and a Russian restaurant, but the store removed all Russian products from the assortment, and the restaurant was renamed and removed the word “Russian” from the name.
And no state income tax, only federal. Specifically, Austin is one of the most expensive cities in Texas. But on the other hand, there is little unemployment, many vacancies, a beautiful city and a climate that is friendlier than other Texas cities. Based on where it is cheaper to live, then San Antonio may be an option for you.
It is important that there is a Russian Cultural Center and a Russian school “ Sputnik ” for children and adults, a Russian kindergarten, a Russian Orthodox Church, sometimes there are Russian concerts, and of course all sorts of Russian groups for joint walks, mothers, etc.
There are museums, zoos, but not very developed. The nightlife is very active.
Many people hear horror stories about the poisonous flora and fauna of Austin and Texas. Let’s figure it out together. Many of us have been in America for a long time and most likely know what kind of plant is in the photo, so this information is most likely for newcomers:
This is poison ivy. There are a lot of him in parks, and sometimes he can be found on his site. In no case do not touch it with your hands, do not burn it! It’s not like nettles. The reaction comes after a few hours. Helps wash with cold water and soap until a reaction occurs. Of course, there are also snakes and scorpions and spiders in Austin. And even different wild flowers can be here as a big allergen. But you can live in the center and not meet poisonous flora and fauna, and then move closer to Lake Travis and meet all this, perhaps for the first time. The good news is that although scorpions hurt, they are not dangerous, unless of course there is an allergy. There are also several types of poisonous snakes, and spiders. And with the oleander, which blooms so beautifully in many areas, you also need to be careful, it is poisonous.
Welcome to Austin!
– Russian Cultural Center in Austin
We have also collected for you a wide variety of information, consisting of personal reviews and impressions, members of the Russian-speaking community:
Masha W . Guys! We are planning to move to Austin, please tell me good suburbs with cool schools, I will be very grateful, thank you!
Irina W . https://russianaustin.com/poleznoe/karta-ostina/
Ilia D . San Francisco is a good option. Only 4 hours by plane.
Katerina B . Greetings. I’ll be on the road for a day and a half this Tuesday. I’m planning on moving to Austin this spring. Recommend areas: Family friendly with a child of 4 years. with good schools. To have infrastructure: mugs, restaurants within adequate accessibility (15 minutes by car). I want to support the Russian language: are there classes for children of the Russian language? I don’t like boredom, far from civilization, so I think about areas close to the center, but I don’t want dangerous areas. The cost of renting a house/apartment? At least 2 bedroom. Since I’m unlikely to have time to see something in a day and a half, but at least any advice? The child was born on November 5, 2017 does she need to go to Pre-K or kindergarten? Is it paid? Now I live in New York, public pre K is free.
Angelina G . Guys, hello everyone! We are planning to move from New York to Austin. Family of 4 (2 sons: 7.5 and 4 years old). Stayed with you last week. In principle, I liked everything, we didn’t have time to see the living creatures, apparently because of the weather. I read a lot of horror stories in your group about scorpions, spiders, snakes, etc., I was seized by a panic. Is there anyone here from New York? How do you like life in Austin? We are looking at the districts of Terrytown, Zilker, Bartok Creek… We liked Domain, but we did not find any high-rated schools there. What schools would you recommend from personal experience? Because the rating is not clear, so many people are moving, I think they do not have time to update the information.
Vladimir T . If you’ve read about snakes and scorpions, how could you have missed the schools. They ask about them every other day.
Angelina G . Snakes and scorpions have dragged all the attention to themselves.
Anna B . Ratings have not been updated since 2019 due to covid. And there are snakes and scorpions, but not in those quantities to be scary. Haven’t seen one in over a year.
Angelina D . thanks! What area do you live in?
Ad L . Before moving, I heard this many times: that people have not seen snakes in Austin for 20 years. We are probably very happy (I’m not kidding, I love snakes very much!), we have seen 4 times in 3 months.
Anna B . we live in a new development in Georgetown (we belong to the liberty hill school district). I have kids almost 3 and 5 years old. We were looking for a balance between the cost of housing and the level of schools. Found. The junior and middle schools of 2020 are “born” and everyone is very happy with them. Well, Liberty Hill school district with good ratings. True, our new schools do not have ratings at all yet.
Angelina G . interesting, thanks!
Olga M . strange, here we just recently updated the rating of schools on redfin.
Anna B . maybe something has changed in recent months. I looked at the information back in June-July, when they were looking for a house.
Angelina G . thank you very much, we were driving somewhere in the Charlotte Cox area and this area seemed to us not very pretty. Some new houses are being built there.
Olya M . here in Texas, to be honest, there is little beauty at all, in my opinion, if finances allow, then nature is better in the Steiner Ranch and Hills area.
Angelina G . we looked at several options in the west lake hills, were in the oasis lake Travis, a very beautiful view there.
Olga M . Well, you are comparing the area with houses for 600 thousand and for 16 million there, of course, you can buy a house with a very good view.
Polina K . We have friends from New York, they are very happy, they live in Cedar Park, they belong to Leander ISD. About scorpions, do not be afraid, there are a lot of good spiders here, they often catch them, sometimes I find them in the web. Scorpions prefer the night, baths, tiles, they are easy to see in the evening. They are not lethal.
Angelina G . thanks! Do you think the apartments also have them? We stopped at Sider Park, we didn’t really like it there, but maybe we were on the wrong side . .. I understand that many people love this area
Polina K . I have a special rubber mallet for scorpions. Apartments are often treated with chemicals, most likely less. Everything depends on the location. Many Russian speakers prefer the north of Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Georgetown is very beautiful, full of parks and playgrounds, splashpads and pools. It all depends on what you prefer, whether you like the city or the suburbs. I used to live in a big city, I saw enough of the homeless and beggars, I heard shots every night, so I prefer the suburbs.
Angelina D. I generally like the city more, it’s calm here.
Anna N . If in Zilker, then our Zilker elementary is good. I have not met scorpions in 2.5 years of my life in Austin.
Nadia F . was dragged home in a Jacobs well towel the first year.
Anna N . probably because I live in Downtown, where there are a lot of people and concrete, they are afraid of living creatures.
Angelina Y . We never made it to downtown. Are there many homeless people there?
Anna N . I think that compared to NY no.
Angelina G . There are a lot of them in Manhattan.
Julia H . Downtown Austin has been fairly cleared of homeless people. We moved in September, but personally I want to go back to New York, but to each his own, who loves what. Austin and New York are two completely different things.
Elena E . I kill 2-3 scorpions a week. Like cockroaches in principle, the main thing is to walk in slippers.
Tatiana T . What do you miss in Austin after New York? What is the most different?
Julia H . city life: when you go out into the street and see that the city is alive + you can go everywhere on foot or by subway. I really love walking around the city, but in Austin this is a limited pleasure + here, when you go outside, sometimes you are the only pedestrian. There are not enough museums, exhibitions, some kind of urban uniqueness, architecture, beautiful parks, 4 seasons, etc. I love summer, but it’s unbearably hot here in the summer. But this is only my opinion, because I am a very active person, and someone, on the contrary, gets tired of all this New York hustle and bustle. If you have children, then perhaps in Austin it will be better in this regard, here you need to try and compare, I think.
Angelina G . thanks! Do you live there?
Anna N . Yes.
Elena P . There are no animals in the urban area. I have never seen snakes in the city. Maybe in the backyard in the saburba and that is a rarity. For 7 years of living in Texas, I saw a snake once in the forest on a haik.
Gregory Sh . We saw a snake not just in the city, but right at school
Nadia P . Elena you don’t go there, I’ve only been here for two years, I’ve already met several snakes, two of them right on the front yard.
Tatiana M . We are from New York, we love life here.
Angelina G . great, where did you live in NY? What area do you live in Austin?
Tatiana M . we’re not in Austin, north of Leander.
Katia M . I haven’t seen spiders, scorpions, snakes here in three years. Settle away from water bodies and nature such as forests, and you will not see them either.
Angelina G . thank you very much, can you tell me the zip codes or the name of the districts? It seems to me that nature is everywhere here.
Summor A . 78613
Katia M . I lived in Riat, there is a fairly settled area, there are almost no squirrels, and the deer have left from there.
Ekaterina G . we moved from NY in October of this year, we live in Riat, we like everything very much, we haven’t seen any living creatures, there aren’t even cockroaches and other things. Everything suits so far.
Angelina G . I looked that there is an elementary school with a rating of 7, how do you like it? Not bored after NY?
Ekaterina G . Schools are not relevant for us, so I can’t say anything. On the contrary, we are more fun, but it depends on your lifestyle, and new friends and of course the area where you will live. After living 10 years in NY and 2 months in Texas, we are very pleased with the move so far.
Yana K . I haven’t seen scorpions in all my years in Texas, I’ve seen solitary snakes in parks… but I’ve suffered from ants.
Angelina G . thanks for the answer, what area do you live in?
Yana K . Georgetown – Northern part.
Elena P . Schools are usually good in saburbs. You find the house you want to rent and see which schools belong to it. Otherwise, they will tell you a good school, but you will not find housing there? Then what’s the point of watching. School rankings are publicly available.
Angelina G . I just think that this rating does not have time to update, because. a very large number of people are moving. I would like to hear personal experience.
Yuliya D . Moved from New York a year ago. I like everything, a different pace of life. We live in the South Congress area. Here scorpions crawl on the walls both in the garage and in the apartment, but they are small. To each his own. We like. We were scared that it would be very hot, but this summer was beautiful here (subjectively). There are no such abrupt transitions of the seasons as in New York, but there is no golden autumn like in Upstate New York or such landscapes as in Central Park in November. Temperatures fluctuate dramatically in Texas, especially in winter: warm during the day and cold at night. And throw away all your Canada Goose jackets and boots.
Angelina G . Isn’t it boring to live there after NY? No allergies? She already confuses me more than living creatures.
Yuliya D . Might be boring, depending on how busy your life is in New York. Here, of course, there is not the same number of exhibitions, museums, shows and performances. And if you go a couple of times a year, then you can fly to New York for the weekend, which is what we do. There are other entertainments, mostly outdoors, weather permitting. It is customary to drive Austin-San Antonio-Dallas-Houston. If nothing is happening in Austin, then something is definitely happening in Texas. we love going to San Antonio for the weekend, it’s an hour from Austin. There is no allergy yet, but the locals say it may appear over time, not immediately.
Susanna K . What does a high rating mean for you specifically? Test results? What are the criteria? We live in Tarrytown, if anything… just from your list. Casis is a normal school, but the children really don’t learn anything in the last year. But this year a new school building was built. In general, the rating is different for everyone . .. write if there are specific questions.
Angelina G . Thank you for your reply! The personal experience of people who take them to school is important to me, because I cannot judge by rating. Our child never went to a public school, I don’t even know how it is. So far, he is studying in a small private. Do you like this area?
Victoria K . We are from NY. I lived there for 12 years, my husband for 30 years. If in from NY to Austin (according to your list), then you radically change little. It’s like going from Manhattan to the cheaper part of Queens. Schools in Austin itself are brainwashed and not very educated like in NY. Nothing changes. From the local flora and fauna … ants are the most terrible and frequent. We have not seen scorpions in 4 years. We have a house and they don’t even crawl like that. The snakes are for those who have backyards in the apartment; only children can bring them to the bank.
Angelina G . thanks yes answer! What area are you in and what school do your children go to? The fact is that we have never come across public schools, ours so far goes to a private one. How did you protect yourself from these ants?
Maryna L . Scorpion was seen, climbed into the house, his cat caught and strangled. We just recently moved from ST.
Roman B . Hi, I moved from NY last year in July. I live in West Austin in Grandview Hills in an apartment. I am also very afraid of snakes, and for a year walking in the parks I have not yet met one. I remember that in our community several times over the past year and a half we sent out a notification about living creatures. Particular attention was paid to snakes – the simplest safety rules, such as not walking on the grass at night, animals on a leash and look under your feet. If something happens, call 9 immediately11. And the living creatures here are really dofiga. From the balcony in the evening I often saw coyotes, owls in the trees opposite, an incomprehensible animal the size of a small dog. Various kinds of insects are also present at home, especially if you open the balcony door, but not fatal, I think. In general, life in Austin is very pleasant. A completely different style, different from metropolitan areas. You slow down a lot here and relax. In short, it’s great here.
Angelina G . Since thanks for the answer! Are you often treated for insects, etc.?
Roman B . As far as I know, the insects were treated before entry. But I think it’s possible to request a re-purge.
Alenka A . Are you noisy? I understand that 620 has a veranda complex?
Roman B . Yes, it is the veranda of the complex at 620. As for the noise, it depends on the building. I now live in a building closer to the road, and if the windows are open or on the balcony, then yes, I can hear the passing traffic. Until February of this year, I lived in a deeper building overlooking the hills and forests. So there was grace. But unfortunately, due to the fact that I suffered in the cold, I had to move to another apartment in another building.
Tatiana M . We have a contract with a company that regularly comes in and handles the perimeter of anything unpleasant. Never seen a scorpion or anything. So do not be afraid, everything is solved.
Angelina G . Thank you, what area do you live in? I would like to live in the house, but come on, there is a high probability of meeting someone.
Tatiana M . we live in the house. If you cultivate the territory, then you will not meet anyone. No scorpions, no snakes, no spiders, no ants. The treatments they use are not dangerous for pets. Leander.
Victoria L . ya toje vsego ochen boyalas, za 1.5 goda videla vsex u nas na property. Pest control i drugie meri pomagaut. Mne pomoglo znat fakti i meri i stalo ne tak scary. Mi na yuge i u us green belt. Vseravno nravitsa bolshe chem v CT.
Val R . Welcome to Austin. After New York, a completely different life, we moved 1.5 years ago to Texas and have not regretted it yet, in Austin for half a year, I like everything, but alas, I don’t know about schools …
Mila S . Animals like insects you will see not in winter. Most of the Russian speakers live in the north (Cedar / Leander, etc.). There are more good schools in the west. Focus not only on great schools, but also on other portals. He’s lying a lot about Texas schools.
Alexander L . out of curiosity, could you share what prompted you to move?
Angelina G . I want to change the situation, I’m tired of restrictions in the form of vaccinations.
Olha D . We moved from Chicago a month ago. There was also an emphasis on school, because there are two children. The school suits the children, they are happy. We live at code 78726 (this is still Austin), but the school belongs to Cedar park (both primary and secondary rating). To the grocery store (HEB) on foot 10 minutes, to the Plaza 7 minutes. If you have questions write in private, I will answer with pleasure.
Anna B . by the way, yes. We used to live nearby. Brushy Creek has some very good schools, but housing isn’t cheap either.
Angelina G . We are also considering this area, thank you. Compared to NY it’s cheap.
Anna B . I understand, we also had such a reaction after California.
Olha D . We pay (2 bedrooms and 2 baths) 1350.
Liubov K . Since there are snakes, there are a lot of mice around the house. If there are no mice, then there will be no snakes. I treat snakes like a free mousetrap. As soon as everyone is caught they will leave. If it’s still scary, try not to leave food on the street, so as not to attract rodents. Do not make compost near the house and so on.
Irina I . there is no garbage, no rats and mice here. There are rattlesnakes, they thought they had a nest here, but they did not find it. A neighbor also saw a rattle for a couple of weeks, she came to warn me. Because I have children.
Liubov K . you probably just don’t see them. Yes, and there is no guarantee that the neighbors do not feed them.
Angelina G . Thank you. We visited this area. We liked him. Do you poison them somehow?
Irina I . no, we are running away from them, they are rattlesnakes. I’m afraid of them … a friend in the center of Georgetown had a huge snake on the porch (I don’t remember the name, or a ratl snake), I mean, in the city center.
Alex L . there is a big difference between a rat snake and a rat snake, if it is a huge, most likely rat snake, this one is not poisonous, stupid and slow in the spring, creeps out onto roads and driveways, often met crushed in the Hills (southwest) in the spring.
Irina I . a friend has a rat snake, but big and slow. Not poisonous but scary. We’ve got rattlesnakes in the yard.
Angelina G . Where did you live in Florida? How do you like the climate of Austin compared to Florida?
Irina I . I don’t like the climate, it’s too dry for me.
Natalia O . is closer to the Foorid climate in Houston. It’s like in Singapore. We came from Israel, in Texas it’s about the same, only it’s hotter in summer. Snakes happen, but it really depends on the place. Living creatures have their enclaves. We have been living in Steiner Ranch for 4 years, lizards and squirrels run around our house, but there were no snakes and scorpions.
Mary H . where did you move from Florida? Do you like it here? On the contrary, we are thinking of going to Florida to live.
Angelina G . where did you live before Austin?
Elena F . I immediately bought the service from Terminix, so there is no one at home. There are only ants, mosquitoes and squirrels in the yard. By the way, mosquitoes are a problem. Mosquito service is also very helpful. I saw a snake a couple of times non-venomous. But in Massachusetts, I also met them.
Angelina G . thanks! What area do you live in?
Elena F . Southwest Austin. We are close to nature and farms, so I think we have more animals.
Alexander L . Scorpions are nothing. The real danger is the boars. Especially if you like to walk in the evening.
Polina K . Pistol with you and go for a walk. it’s Texas, baby!! It’s me, by the way, that there are all cowboys.
Ekaterina K . gun will not save you from boars.
Polina K . Depending on which one and depending on where to shoot, but they will definitely be scared of a shot. So it’s better to have than not to have.
Marina O . When we were going to move from Chicago to Austin, we went in January, I was delighted, warm, beautiful, after snow and frost. We were advised to come back in the summer, we arrived, my flip flops stuck to the asphalt, and such heavy air, humidity, heat until night, we spent a week hunting repulsed for a long time, so we moved to Virginia, a very good climate. It’s better for you to go in the summer, because it’s hot there except for winter all year round, can you do that?
Angelina G . thanks for the reply. We were told that it is hot in July and August… what month were you in?
Irene I . We had this with Florida. We went in the winter and fell in love so much. Well, I think we need to go and check it out in the summer… In the summer it was a completely different picture.
Alexander L . This is north Austin called Round Rock. There is a large territory and quarries where something is mined (white spots), but in this green territory they live. They are not afraid of anyone and really approach the houses. Google round rock hog problems.
Larisa A . I saw an armadillo today! But they say it’s a rarity
Alenka A in the sense of a rarity? We walk a lot, they dug through the whole backyard for me.
Larisa A . I just arrived. I believe everything the locals say. Armadillo had never been seen anywhere before. I can’t even imagine what the herds look like … knocking shells?
Alenka A . ahah well, I exaggerated of course, I saw two of them a couple of times. One often, when I walk already at dusk, and they don’t really run away if you look from afar. Rummages to himself.
Oren K . In addition to the north so beloved by Russian-speaking Austin residents, there is also life in the west and south of Austin. There are very good schools (without brainwashing) and people do not live on each other’s heads. East is not recommended.
Anna B . yes, I have read very good reviews about Dripping Springs school district.
Oren K . I confirm. Excellent schools.
Daria E . what does “brainwash” mean? We are moving in the summer, the kids are in elementary. I’m looking south, but I’m not sure which areas are good. Also, the remoteness of the only Russian Orthodox Church is annoying (my mother lives with us, and for her the church is a necessity).
Oren K . “brainwash” like “Socialism is our everything.” But with the ROC – yes, it significantly limits the area. Maybe you have to choose – church for mom or education for children, or somewhere in between.
Daria E . and which areas in the south are better to consider? Dripping Springs, Kyle, Buda?
Lisa T . Yes, our Dripping Springs School district is practically the only one where they still don’t wash. But here, blue New York, if anything, is not particularly welcome. Dripping Spring itself now has 5 new elementary schools due to population growth. But their rating will not say anything if you do not know what it is about. Because for new schools, as a building, it does not appear in the system immediately, after 3 years. Ours, for example, elementaries have just opened this year. Gorgeous boutique school. She’s in Dripping County so the system is the same. Our principal has been in Drip before. But, there are not very many apartments here. Mostly houses, much more expensive than Round Rock. As far as I know, Round Rock schools have gone downhill in the last couple of years and have been quite online. I am generally silent about Austin zip code. For the most part, there are not the best schools and at the slightest fart they will be closed online. Kyle and Buda I wouldn’t really recommend. There are low ratings. But there is a huge construction development and I see that the rating of schools has begun to grow. There are many Spanish speakers there. But they are very nice here in general. Circle C are good schools yes. I don’t know about washing. Apartments there are more around, if it’s not about the house.
Oren K . The schools in Driping are very good. And we really like it here. But, this is if you do not need to go to Austin every day. There are a lot of Spanish speakers in Kyle and the schools there, to put it mildly, are not very good. Buda is being built very heavily and there are very decent houses. Very good schools west of Austin at Lake Travis. BUT it’s expensive. Possibly south of Austin. There are some very bad areas.
Daria E . thanks for being so detailed! We were in July this summer, staying at Dripping Springs. Beautiful place. We don’t know yet where the work will be, of course, a lot will depend on this.
Olga T . There is a convent near Dripping Springs if it matters https://holyarchangels.com/
Angelina D . Do you know anything about this Old Town Elementary school?
Zina S . We live in the east and we really like it. I wouldn’t think about the quality of schools at all, just send them to private schools and that’s it, if money allows. Even in good areas, schools are not very good now, because either online or there are so many children per teacher that the quality of education suffers. In Austin ISD, the distribution of funds is not by district, but in general. Therefore, if you live in a good area of Austin and pay high taxes, then this does not affect the quality of your particular school.
Angelina G . Our eldest is now studying at a private school, on the contrary, we wanted to send him to a state or charter school.
Zina S . If it’s not Austin ISD, then maybe it’s different. But in Austin itself, there is money, and the quality of the schools is not proportional to the taxes paid. Here is such a paradox.
Andrii P . Please tell me, do children wear masks at school? It would be interesting to learn about anti-epidemic rules in Texas schools. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Polina M . So far, unfortunately, they are.
Natalia O . It is quite possible to fight living creatures. But there are no crocodiles and a school of 10 points and the population is educated and quite intelligent.
Alexandr R . We are from NU as 2 years here, didn’t observe living creatures, fire schools, Steiner Ranch area.
Julia N . I would recommend looking at charter schools.
Dmitry O. Best schools in Austin: https://russianaustin.com/poleznoe/luchshie-shkoly-ostina/
Alex Z . We live in Barton Hills, used to live in Zilker. Children do not go to school yet, but all acquaintances and neighbors squeak with joy from these two schools. In fact, these are two of the very few quality schools in central Austin. The areas here are very walkable, you can get everywhere by bike, and thanks to the location by car, you almost never have to go to the highway for business and stand in traffic, this is a big plus. If there is a budget, it seems to me that these are two districts – the most logical for relocation from NY, if you don’t want to go far to the suburbs. Territown is also not bad, we considered it for buying a home, but we didn’t like it – there is no community at all and the neighbors are very distant from each other, compared to Zilker and Barton Hills.
Angelina G . Thanks for the extensive answer. We stayed at Baroon Hills and I loved it. From the backyard of the house we walked 2 minutes to the river and then reached Zilker Park on foot.
Vlad C . And how to read all these comments? We’re in CT now, but we’re going to explore in Austin in February. Considering Arlington, Austin, Denver for a move. We also rely on schools, for children 5 and 2.
Maryna L . We also moved in July from Easton, ST. We moved to Leander just north of Austin. Schools are not bad here.
Victoria L . mi pereexali iz CT v proshlom godu, ochen nravitsa.
Maria Z . We live in Barton Hills, before that we lived in Zilker (both from the list). My children do not go to school yet (2 and 4 years old), but we chose the area including the school. Write if you want to discuss these areas. Happy moving!
Polina M . Unfortunately, now the significance of the rating has fallen too much. It is not the students’ test results that come to the fore, but their ability to think logically and critically, not to blindly trust what they say “from above”, but to make their own analysis. There are very few such schools. Now there is a big trend in Texas to transfer children to home schooling or look for decent charter schools.
Daria C . yes, this is the most important thing in school. How would one find one.
Tatiana K . My husband and I moved from New York 1.5 years ago and are very happy. We live in Leander, although we originally only aimed at Georgetown or round rock. I, too, have not seen such “living creatures” here as scorpions and snakes .. if only on a haik in the forest. It is quiet and calm here, especially after living in NY, you will like it.
Daria P . Hello everyone. We are planning to move to Austin, please tell me:
what areas do you think are the best for living. Our criteria are basically:
– a lot of greenery / park / nature / even if just in a residential area there are a lot of trees along the road, so that it would be nice to walk with a dog,
– no more than 20 minutes to the main activities / center by car,
– clean, comfortable, There is a coffee shop/bakery within walking distance.
How are you doing with the lockdown? Can you eat in restaurants? Are cinemas open?
If not Austin, what other city would you recommend to move to? Thanks to.
Jeren V . Dear Daria, most recently this question was raised by at least three future residents of Austin, just a week ago, scroll down through the posts, there are a lot of answers and recommendations.
Daria P . All that is only information about the weather, heat and a couple of areas where there are schools. we are not interested in schools, I did not find information answering my questions, alas.
Carrie C . 1. West lake hills. 3. If the criteria is as above, then Palo Alto. I’m not here now, the locals will tell you better, but I suspect that there is nowhere worse than in California.
Alexander B . Definitely north: Round Rock, Cedar Park and others.
Alla D . We have practically no houses. Everything is sold out quickly, so it’s hard to find about 20 minutes from Downtown. We are in leander, there is a lot of greenery and trails almost on the backyard, well, lots are not here anymore.
Daria P . so do you recommend Leander?
Alla D . I yes, we like it. But it’s far from the center, but the Domain is much more interesting than the center and about 20 minutes. You can walk to the store, coffee shop, well, it all depends on which area exactly. There are trails for hiking.
Andrew F . Who said that there are practically no houses. It all depends on the price. Some for 3-4 months on the market. Those who sell for next to nothing sell out quickly.
Alla D . I judge from my neighborhood, we don’t have houses and there are many offers for one house that are much higher than the price.
Andrew F . Much higher is how much? In our area, houses in the market receive a multi-offer if they set a lower price, the rest can hang for several months. And the houses are new in 2020.
Alla D . 130 is practically higher, but depends on the house. We don’t weigh anything. If the house is exhibited, then immediately offer. People who want to move inside the neighborhood can’t even buy a bigger house, investors still come with a cash offer. My neighbor’s house has not yet been put up, and they are already flooded with offers.
Andrew F . Where do you live? What kind of place is it?
Alla D . Leander, crystal falls, far from the center. In traviso next to us to build a house queue of 200 people per lot.
Andrew F . Was there, looked at this area. What are your schools like? I mean rating?
Alla D . we are only in elementary, 7 in my opinion, well, I don’t remember exactly, I don’t know middle and high, well, sort of like average. Schools seem to have not set much demand here, if such a hype, some houses jumped by 50-100 to probably be more correct.
Andrew F . I wonder why then such a hype?
Alla D . I don’t know, trails, the view from the window is beautiful at some houses on the forest, the neighbors are good. But, I thought there was hype everywhere. And there is no more construction, people are trying to be in time. Houses are being sold before the way over asking was put on the market. We like it here. Even some celebrities live here. Probably more lots are big, which attracts people.
Andrew F . In our neighbourhood, the situation is exactly the opposite. Although everything that you wrote is present and may even be better …
Alla D . Where are you? Well, maybe it’s a hill country and it’s practically built up already, and that’s why people are trying to be in time. I even don’t know. I thought there weren’t enough houses.
Andrew F . Round Rock.
Alla D. Husband said Leandre is a heel country so people are crazy. Well, that’s why there is probably a rush, in the north there are not so many houses left to not build, and if there is still a view from the window to the forest, then there are 20 offers for one lot.
Dasha K. turn on the Citizen app. Everywhere crime. I live in the middle of nowhere next to only fields and cows, anyway, every day there is news that they shot or robbed nearby. Where exactly in the south is crime, I’m not saying live on South Lamar.
Andrew F . Unfortunately, we didn’t notice it… If we drop the price to 0 from the benefit, then yes. Then what’s the point of selling… East from 35 and down South to the airport, including the notorious wonderful Lamar. ..
Alla D. 4 years ago we were selling a house in our area, there was no hype at all, but we sold it without a profit, because we had to move to another street, but we didn’t even put it on the market, friends of friends bought it. And this year, all houses with a profit of 50 and 100 and above, but again, if you sell with a profit of 50 and move, then you also need to take into account the real Estate fee. Everything will be on your street. By the way, a friend bought it nearby, where the Tesla will be, it is also growing well now.
Olga M . you probably don’t know the city well, there are very good areas in the south. The same circle c that has some of the best schools in Austin.
Dasha K. I don’t recommend living close to downtown, it’s not interesting there. Everything interesting in the north. I recommend renting a house, look around, understand where you feel good, and then buy. Now the sellers market, and the prices are just crazy. Or just remove one of the items. If you want a more attractive price, then look at new construction in the south or in the area where the Tesla factory will be.
Anya Р . Circle C is a great area, 15 minutes to the center without traffic, the same amount to the airport (this was our main criterion a year ago when we bought a house). But they wrote to you correctly that now it is unrealistic to buy a house, they fly apart in a second, a girlfriend has been trying since September. The main headache for all those moving now is the inability to buy a house.
There is a quarantine, but it’s in the Texas style – it seems to be there, but it’s like it’s not there. Everything is open, the number of people is limited, but in principle it is normal, better than in many states.
Olga K. Rollingwood or Westlake between Mopac and 360 in Austin. Rice Village, Hermann Park, or Montrose in Houston.
Dmitry S. We are currently renting an apartment in Arboretum (Great Hills). I think it fits all your criteria. Lots of greenery, hills, within walking distance and coffee, and Trader Joe and any other shops. 5 minutes to Domaine with restaurants etc. Conveniently located – you can drive to almost everything in 20 minutes.
Lana S. I like south west Cedar Park, 10 min from Lake Travis, everything you listed is there, well-established sleeping area and calm, see Milburn park for orientation, within walking distance of Starbucks, another local coffee shop, Sprouts, Randalls ( such as Safeway), restaurants: two Italian, Greek, sushi, Chinese, Pho, Mexican, BBQ, pizzeria, shake, juice store like Jamba Juice, and 10 more in which I have not yet been. There are a lot of service businesses, such as dental and hairdressing salons with good reviews, etc. Everything is within walking distance. I walk my dog in the park or on the lake, where there is a lot of entertainment in the summer.
Olga M . I understand that you are going to shoot and you don’t need schools. I think it’s ideal for you to shoot something right in the Domain. There is a cinema, a lot of restaurants, shops and clubs.
Daria P. The fact of the matter is that I love sleeping areas, where it is quiet, comfortable, parks, greenery, everything.
Olga M . It seems to me that then you can see something near the zilker park and River or the Arboterium, as you were told above.
Daria P. Thank you very much for your recommendation.
Sergei N. We live in Triangle, quiet peacefully, a lake outside the window with cranes, owls and turtles, the confluence of Guadeloupe and Lamar, by car 5-7 minutes to the down town, on foot for about an hour at a walking pace, everything is in the area eat, shops, cafes, fitness.
Dasha E. Dallas.
Daria P. Can you elaborate on why?
Dasha E. You can. Austin is now in the stage of a rapidly expanding soap bubble, which is evidenced by the situation in the housing market. And an endless string of questions in Russian-speaking groups on the topic of where it is better to live in Austin (just kidding). The bubble is overpriced for absolutely everything you use, from renting an apartment, buying a house, to kindergarten prices, mugs, to dinner at a restaurant, a cup of coffee and a gallon of milk at the supermarket. These are queues everywhere and everywhere – to get to the doctor, enroll a child in a kindergarten, a line to pour gasoline in Costco, traffic jams and the inability to walk the dog normally in the notorious parks where everyone wants to go to enjoy the silence and nature. If you like to travel, then flying from Austin is another quest (constant transfers in Dallas or Houston to fly somewhere). Dallas is a much larger city in terms of population and area, with a much better developed infrastructure and, most importantly, designed for population growth (Austin’s infrastructure was never designed for today’s bubble). There are many more career opportunities in Dallas in various fields. In Austin, you’re either in IT or, hmm, you’re looking for a very long time.
Tatiana B. I will only add to this that even if you are in IT, but with not very extensive experience, then (according to the experience of my friends) it will also take a very long time to look for a job.
Lana K. We are in Killeen, quiet and very cheap after California.
Anya A. Hello everyone! We are planning to move to Austin. Can you please tell me in which areas it is better to look for housing if the job will be approximately in the area of Bee Cave Rd. / West Lake Hills? We are looking for areas where there are many families with small children, our son is a year old.
Tatiana M. Everywhere the neighborhoods are full of little kids. Bee Cave is a great area. Expensive.
Mila G. Travis country close and excellent area.
Alla D. If you need a realtor, I recommend Anna Yekaterynenko. I used to work in a bee cave, but I live in Leandre, about 35 minutes when there is no traffic. We have a lot of children, we live in crystal falls. And so in new areas there are a lot of children everywhere, it seems to me. Bee cave is a good area, but expensive.
Polina H . Bee cave/Lakeway/the hills area. There are a lot of children in the New Neighborhoods like Rough Hollow/sweet water/serene hills.
Anya A. And which of them are considered relatively budgetary?
Polina H . None of these areas will be very budget. Especially now. Spicewood is cheaper, but a little further from the city. The same LTISD.
Iana M. We haven’t decided on the area either… we liked Steiner Ranch, Balterra.
Polina H . Stainer collects huge traffic jams in and out. And so, we also really liked it when we were looking for a house.
Iana M. What areas would you recommend for something like Steneir Ranch? In the hills, but certainly not for Bee Cave prices.
Polina H . Not special, just sharing information. Lakeway/the hills/bee cave is about one price. Spicewood is cheaper. Dripping springs is also a nice and beautiful area. Marble Falls is very beautiful but far from the city. Yesterday we drove there, a new district is being built. We ourselves did not live in Stainer, but our acquaintances dissuaded everyone 3 years ago. There was some other fire before that, there was panic, since there was one entrance / exit to it. My husband was constantly stuck in traffic on the 620 due to the turn into Stainer. The last year, when everyone was at home, perhaps differently.
Mila S. At 620, repairs and expansion around the turn at 2222. And even there you can get stuck for 10-15 minutes during rush hour. But get stuck on the road? If the whole area does not rise at the same time, like a flock of birds, I don’t know how this is possible.
Eugene I. Look at Jester, River Place, Canyon Creek. But there most likely will not be less than $700K.
Roman B. Circle C not bad, not very far to Bee Cave Rd, very family area with good public schools, still cheaper than bee cave/westlake.
Yana K. Good morning! Question for the people of Austin. We are planning a move to Austin. I realized that there are cougars in Austin, it somehow strained me. Who had to deal with a cougar? I read about it and the soul is not calm. Thanks to all.
Tatiana M. I have never even heard of cougars, except for scorpions, snakes and all kinds of spiders.
Alexandra K . There are, but close to parks. More often people meet snakes, scorpions and spiders, coyotes.
Elena H. Pumas are bullshit. They are nocturnal animals. It is unlikely that you will walk at night somewhere in the bushes. But I would be afraid of alligators if I were you.
Eric P. alligatori v Austin ne vodyatsya!
Vadim F . an alligator has been spotted a couple of times in Lady Bird Lake.
Elena P. on a trip to Brazos park, I was told that they live up to Dallas. There is a map of the habitat of alligators.
Almaz A. But seriously, there are no cougars here, there are mountain lions (cougar) and then they are few and they don’t come to cities at all, they bypass people. I’ve been living on the ranch for 17 years and have never seen them, only heard about them.
Anastasia K. And one more question about children. My son is 5 and we are planning to move to Austin in April. Where do you need to sell documents so that he can attend preparatory groups before entering school? Thanks to.
Svetlana H . If it is already 5 years old, then this is kindergarten at the school in the community. Check which one you belong to (if you already know the place where you will live and you will find out there). If you still don’t know where you will live, it’s also not scary how to rent / buy then and submit documents to this school. In Texas, pre-K from age 4 and kindergarten are free for kids.
Anastasia K. thank you, even if you don’t know the language yet? Is it also free?
Svetlana H . yes, that’s the point.
Alexandra K . And at the age of 5, this is not preparation for school, but the most common “zero grade”. Arrive, receive the documents necessary for registration and forward.
Anna K . I may be wrong, but there are no “preparatory groups” in front of the school as such. My daughter went and still goes to math and reading classes, but these are all private companies. You will get to the school at the place of residence, to the assigned school in your district
Gregory Sh . In our LT ISD, at the age of 4, my daughter went to Pre-K for free, because she did not know English. She specifically passed the exam for ignorance of English. At the age of 5, everyone goes to Kindergarten, it is for everyone.
Anna K . yes, I know. My daughter really went to paid Pre-K, we needed her to be in the garden all day. I didn’t really draw a parallel between prepared classes and Pre K. To me, they are two different things.
Alenka A. to your local school, you will have PreK based on language. True, if the English is good, then it will not work, and then only paid centers. And sorry if the birthday is before September 1, then they will take the K class to school. In general, just call your school or read on their website.
Jenny P. Hello, we are going to move to Austin from Denver in the fall (October-November) (I’ll tell you right away I like Denver, but the air is very dry for me and I cough at night). We are three husband, daughter 3 years old and me. Husband works remotely, I will look for a job locally (maybe it will be difficult for me to find, my English is not as good as I would like, I don’t have a driver’s license and I have a break from work after the birth of a child, but I worked as a programmer for almost 5 years and maybe a June here I’ll be useful to someone, there’s definitely a benefit from me). We were in the States not so long ago, we won the green. I have a few questions, if you don’t mind answering, please. I look at the north of Austin – schools and apartments, as I understand it, there are also enough IT vacancies in the north of Austin. Question for parents. Was it difficult for your children aged 3-5 to integrate into the English-speaking environment? Classes in public cheekbones are always up to 3? Or is there some sort of extension? Many more private schools look like church ones, does this mean that in order to enter there you need to understand something in religion, some questions at an interview, some restrictions. I don’t think it’s something terrible if they read the Bible, but I will choose (if there is a choice), for example, between sports and religion – sports. In schools (public or private) do they feed children somehow? I also watched the kids r kids kindergarten, but if I find a school that is gaining all ages, I will send it there.
Now about the apartments. I looked at apartments 2bd + 2bth, they are approximately all in the 1600-1800 fork, is that ok? Those. Can I expect that by the time we arrive, the walls will be painted, carpeted and insect free? Maybe you will praise or say something bad about your apartment in which you lived or live in the northwest. It would help us a lot. If the apartment says that there is a garage, is the garage included in the footage of the apartment?
Beast. I am very afraid of poisonous and dangerous insects and animals, do you often meet poisonous snakes near the house or on a walk such as rattlesnakes, corals or any that I have not read about yet? Spiders like black widow, and some other poisonous ones, I read about some brown ones that bite and the skin decomposes around you met at home? Anything else dangerous? How often do you do a deep cleaning, shaking things, checking corners and spraying insects. How often do you find all sorts of nasty things like cockroaches, scorpion spiders in the apartment? Should I only walk in rubber boots? If I keep an iguana at home, will I need some kind of special permission from the owner of the apartment?
Sport. I found a table tennis club, did any of you go there? Do you need to come with a partner right away or are there a lot of people and you can play with someone who already goes there? Are there coaching sessions? Are there amateur tournaments in Austin?
Of course, these are not all questions, only a part, I will be glad for any answers. Thanks to everyone who read.
Margarita Z. We live as a family in Cedar Park, Vista Ridge, 3 schools (elementary, middle and high school) within walking distance, a large grocery and household is also 5 minutes, but you can’t do without a car. Consider renting a house (around 1800) can be found in Road Rock or Georgetown. Let me know if you need help, I’m a real estate agent.
Natalia G. Sorry for interfering with someone else’s post. Tell me how realistic it is to rent an apartment (townhouse, house) in an area with good schools in a couple of weeks. We move.
Margarita Z. Hello Natalia, it’s quite possible, but it all depends on your budget and the area in which you want to rent a house. I live in Sidorov Park, the school district is very good and Round Rock is not inferior. Let me know if you need help, I’m always ready.
Nuriza W . When I first saw huge cockroaches, I almost fainted, all the time it seemed that it would come out from somewhere. Didn’t see a snake. Domain is a cool area.
Irina I. We have only been living for a year, we have already seen rattlesnakes at the house three times, I am afraid to go out to the backyard. I always look down. It’s not comfortable, the birds don’t let you sleep in the morning, it can be good for someone, but bad for someone.
Ksenia K. I’m talking about insects right away, there are a lot of cockroaches here, I lived in a *bad* complex in the city center and these bastards were constantly in the kitchen. Once a big one flew through the ventilation in the bedroom, I think it doesn’t happen in better apartments, but in general, Austin is a cockroach capital. By the way, I also came from DTC.
Elena U. Just wanted to write about allergies, just like the author above. Indeed, if only the air bothers you there, then keep in mind that here many people develop very strong allergies, some immediately, some in the 2nd or 3rd year. Here you have a cough and stuffy nose and burning eyes. At what it can be not only for one thing, so that you can wait 2 months and that’s it. I was not allergic at all, but in the first year I collected everything I could: allergic to cider, oak and now mold. And mold is every time it rains and stuffy humidity like now. Here, after the rain, there is not a pleasant freshness, but a smell like in a cellar, i.e. You can really smell the mold in the air. My allergy has been going on for half a year without interruption. My son has the same, but shorter. Ahead is an allergist and a course of injections for 3-5 years. Keep this in mind. I knew about allergies before moving, but I didn’t think that it would be right in the first year and so long, because. I wasn’t allergic at all.
Ve R. Allergies are a problem, but dry air is worse. She lived in Texas and allergies began, but we ran away from Colorado dropping our slippers. My husband’s nose was bleeding, the child’s cough did not go away for 2 months. Our air conditioner in Austin dried up to 40. On the street and 65-80 humidity happens. And in Colorado, it’s worth opening the window a little, and even if you burn 30%, they instantly fly away. Plus, pink mold forms in humidifiers. We bought a dehumidifier in Austin when we weren’t using the air conditioner (spring). Collected from a saucer of water every day.
Olya V. I have been living in Texas for 20 years and have no allergies. Neither me nor my relatives and friends.
Elena U. I am glad that there are lucky people who have not been affected by this. Among my acquaintances, on the contrary, almost everyone has reactions to something here, both in children and adults.
Olga M . It’s quite possible to get settled after the break, that’s just my story. But you have to learn a lot anew plus solve hundreds of leetcode tasks. The hardest part is finding your first job. Learn the language, without it, nowhere.
Vladimir H . without a language, of course, nowhere, but here it is important not to label yourself “I am without a language.” A programmer with experience, but speaking poorly is not a problem, the main thing is to at least understand something by ear and ask counter questions. And we need to sell ourselves more even with bad language, and not be silent. Poorly speaking, but proactive, responsible and educated should be taken. And now there are a lot of remote positions, when most of the communications are in writing and, in general, don’t give a damn if there are grammatical errors in the chat, if the author thinks with his head and closes the tickets. Even in the office, complex discussions in plain text can be translated offline and into text, but after an interview.
Darya L. If a very cool programmer answers, he will pass an interview, with a bad language, they will take him. I hear the husband of the meeting, sometimes I ask him how he manages to understand what the person is saying? In very distant English. 30% say something incomprehensible. And nothing, they work. But I noticed that those who speak English poorly write well in the company.
Olga M . Grammar exam, of course, no one will arrange. But if you cannot understand what they are asking you for an interview and answer normally, then, it seems to me, there will not be much chance.
Darya L. Hello. Appartments – all according to the situation. Usually everything is new if you move into a new, newly built complex. Further, they do not change anything, the only exception is if the carpet or something else is very badly damaged or has a smell. And only when you point it out. They try not to touch their pocket. Carpet they can change 1 time in 5 years. And if they don’t complain, that’s fine. Insects. Everything according to the situation. If you’re lucky, the complex itself will fight it, spray it, etc. If not, you will have to do it yourself. How I did it when my husband rented an apartment in Austin. I strongly advise you to come and try to live here in the heat. My body does not work at 80-100% humidity. We drive home to San Diego and back. Didn’t know about the dry climate in Colorado. I feel comfortable in the dry, we are all different. Have a good move.
Jenny P. Well, they don’t change appliances in the apartments, but they paint the walls and change the carpet, or just clean it so well. I don’t mind dry air, but I’m tired of coughing, I want to sleep all night. I want to live in Austin for a year, and then decide, yes, it’s not clear.
Darya L. We did the opposite. The husband came to Austin and had no problems for 3 years. I arrived, an allergy began (eyes, throat, voice disappears, cough), only steroid injections and treatment with them slightly improve my symptoms. The husband began to cough without ceasing. They put the coolest A / C with a super filter. Bought 2 air cleaners with hip filters. A little easier. At night, I also have a hard time waking up 3-4 times. In winter, it’s easier for me here, when the humidity drops to 23%, I’m super. I bit my spouse to leave the state for a very long time. They seem to have come to an understanding. Yes, taxes are lower, but health is still more important. I really love northern California or the states below Canada. Ideally near the ocean. May everything be fine and you will find a place where you and your family will feel good and comfortable. I’ll dilute it with positivity. Our acquaintances have only positive impressions of life in Texas. They like that it is so hot and they are comfortable with a humid climate. And they have no allergies in their family, they feel very comfortable here. So live and you will understand everything.
Vladimir H . About the adaptation of children 3-5 years old – a question about pouring into school or making friends in the neighborhood or something else? At this age, parents themselves set the environment for their children outside of school, if you go to English circles / sections, there will be no problems. About friends – there is a large Russian-speaking community here, you can make friends and go to visit / parks. About adaptation at school is a separate story, it depends on the anxiety of the child, we personally didn’t do it very well, but it’s slowly getting better.
About IT – it seems to me that many offices nest in downtown, if you settle in the Lakeline Station area, then there is an express bus to downtown from there. Five years of experience is certainly not a junior level, finding the first place is always difficult, start applying remotely already – female programmers are snapping up now, good campaigns pay more attention to soft skills, so take a month of unlimited cambly and hone your self-presentation to a shine. Also – good companies will not ask for a specific programming language, but simply for solving problems and discussing the solution – you need to prepare for this on Licode. If you have a spouse in IT, let him help or write to me in a personal if not IT.
Jenny P. many thanks for the advice. Yes, he is also a Front End Developer, and I am mostly Back End. First, I will try it myself, and if it doesn’t work out, I will ask you to prepare – ask around, I have many programmer friends, thank you.
Summor A. Author, I think you are making a big mistake by moving just because of the dry air. In Austin, there are very strong allergens of cidar, oak, and mold – many people cough and sneeze here, especially during the season. Dry air here, too, starting from June, probably +40. All these problems are easily solved with the help of climate technology (including Denver).
Ve R. You didn’t live in Colorado, I lived 4 months in Coloralo and 8 months (March-October) in Austin. Stopped flowering. Allergy was, but it’s a month and a half. It’s always dry in Colorado! Run from there!
Alenka A. I will write a little in support of Colorado. In fact, it’s a matter of habit. Our friends have been living in Aurora for 3 years. Used to not notice. We were given creams upon arrival, they don’t have moisturizers at home.
Ve R. We live with those who have already bought houses and those who, after 3-8 years, could not get used to it and left. Yes, we are tired of moving and went to where the work is. They threaten to go to the office in the fall. Once again, we packed up all our belongings and set off. We arranged the move within a week. It was a very difficult time.
Jenny P. I have humidifiers everywhere and they don’t help at all. I also read about allergies in posts, also like what kind of things you can put in rooms. We are not prone to allergies, but I do not exclude at all that we will have it here. I also think that while the child is small, you can travel around the states, then you don’t want to tear your friends away from school. Again, I do not exclude the possibility that we will return, I just got tired of coughing.
We live in DTC, in Denver, we have a nice area, I have never seen any nasty things, although there are, I read, there are good people here, a lot of work, a lot of parks, a nice Russian garden in Aurora, we live near the metro so I survive without a car. There are places to go, but we came to the US during the coronavirus, so there is nowhere to go.
Ve R. North Austin has all of the above, except for the subway and public transportation in general. The distances are huge. You can’t walk in the heat. Or an uber / elevator or your car, or sit at home and walk around the apartment complex and wait for your husband to walk.
Olga M . Almost all ITs work in the north. I speak from personal experience. We lived down south in Circle C and moved to brushi creek.
Vladimir Ch . About the apartment – we lived on the 3rd floor – no parasites were seen either inside or outside for a year, although this is a relatively old complex. In general, if you rent an apartment in a complex, then outside it is well poisoned, but inside it is well done cosmetic repairs. If there are no neighbors with cockroaches, then they should not start. On the ground floor, you can catch ants and beetles, but the complex will help to poison them. In general, I didn’t really see any reptiles even on the street, around the trails in the grass you can rarely see snakes, the rest are hiding well. By the way, there are good public schools in that “registration” complex, so most of the residents have Indian roots, with the smell of curry a mile away. But we were still comfortable, except for visiting the public landry, until we rented cars.
Natalia A. You can’t go here without a car. We lived in highlands apartments, everything is good and clean, plus they rented for a short time without increasing the cost. The complex is probably five years old. Convenient, near the exit to the i35 and mopac, a supermarket and a normal school with an excellent after-school. Bus stop nearby. A brand new Santa Clara was built across the street a year ago. If you want more action and places within walking distance, then you should look at domain, arboretum, or there is a complex in round rock next to the mall, but I don’t know the name.
We have a car, my husband drives, I will also study, but I put off as much as I can, I just don’t like driving, I’m used to waking up, getting dressed, taking the subway and going to work for 40 minutes, sleeping, reading or just listening to music.
Iryna B. If the apartment complex borders on a forest or a field, the probability of seeing scorpions in the house will be high. Snakes love water and tall grass. There are a lot of beautiful and singing birds here. Feeders attract animals. Hummingbirds fly to the flowers near the house. A trifle, but nice.
Oleg G. I’ve been to your area 10 times probably in the last 5 months, you always have either snow or rain. And so welcome to Austin, we have a very beautiful place and friendly people here.
Jenny P. There are temperature fluctuations, sometimes hot, sometimes frosty, the air is dry, there is not much rain and snow, in fact, from mid-June, I think it will rarely rain and the temperature will be over 35.
Ve R Rain? In 4 months of living in Colorado, I saw only 1 rain. And the snow does not melt there, it dries up. Humidity at home in Coloralo is 10-15%, in Austin it was 45%, in California 30%. My daughter has a cough, my husband has a nosebleed. We broke the lease and left early.
Vladimir H . Welcome! Food at school – we studied at RR (round rock) and Leander ISD – they feed everywhere. Older children pay with their ID card, I don’t know about younger ones. they send you a menu, there is even some choice. This year, LISD even gave free food due to covid (except for ice cream). And as they wrote above, they are recorded in the pre-kei from the age of 3. In general, in TX it is usually from 4x and only for beneficiaries – military, with financial problems or who do not speak English.
Natalia A. public schools take the ones you listed in pre-C and also take if the child does not speak English. Only pre-K3 is not available in all schools.
It seems to me that for an elementary school the rating of the school is not as important as the personality of the teacher. And in pre-k children are generally small and not yet spoiled by family and school. Mine went to Spring Hill elementary for a year, rating 6 or so. Both had excellent teachers, after New Jersey as a gift from heaven. And none of the children wanted to leave the afterschool, they were entertained there better than at home. From grade 3-4, the school’s rating begins to gain more importance, where resources are already important.
Alenka A. Absolutely agree, I also reasoned when looking for a school. But in the case of Austin School District 4-5 and 90% Hispanic, there are very few whites. It’s not very good. I know from the experience of friends, I had to leave the 2nd grade.
Natalia A. I agree, there are many things to take into account. I looked at the demographics and percentage of kids with subsidized lunches, South Austin had schools with 84%. This is definitely bypassed.
Alexander B . We live in Parkside at Round Rock apartments. New complex, next to a large Outlet Mall. Grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants are all nearby. We have seven-year-old twins who go to a public school of 8 points. There they are fed for free. As for garages, they are not included in the area of \u200b\u200bthe house.
Katie O. If your child does not speak English, then LISD is just registering for preK, starting at age 3. Before lunch is free at school, after lunch you have to pay for after-school. We once lived in Ravina apartments, lived on the 3rd floor, insects did not reach us. The River Place school there is good, and is located almost on the territory of the complex itself, you don’t even need to cross the road. And as for the repair in the unit, when you look at the apartments, be sure to tell the manager that you want to see exactly the apartment that is being rented, and not their model. Model ones are always beautiful and renovated, but real ones can be very different.
Dana L. Good afternoon everyone! I really need advice! We are moving to Austin in 2-3 months with our 5 year old daughter. How to adapt a child to an English-speaking environment? Looking for kindergarten or preschool for her? If anyone has had a similar experience, please share. Thank you.
Maya P. Child turns 5 before August 31st? It is important. If he was 5 on September 1, then he can go to K. There are about 20 children there. This is the beginning of the school, but you can go there the next year. This year, parents were allowed there for 2 days. If the child turns 5 after September 1, then the child can go to ESL preK. There are few children, more teachers and our happiness was complete there. The online classes were very helpful. The daughter went to school without tears, questions and shock.
Dana L. 5 will be in December, just when we move. Is ESL preK in a school facility or is it a kindergarten?
Maya P. This is a school, English as a second language pre Kindergarten. Highly recommend, we were all very satisfied.
Katerina T. K. This is Texas, you have the right to homeschool in your program, then you are considered a private school, and as long as you consider your child to be a good citizen, they don’t even have the right to ask you what program you are in. If you change your mind later, go to school and they will accept you according to your age, or if you want a class higher, take the advanced placement test.
Julia K. They don’t ask what program you study? That is, you can not study at all and nothing will happen? Don’t even ask? That is, you can grow without education and no one will ask?
Katerina T. K. If you take homeschool, you sign a paper where you undertake to teach your child good citizenship. And so you are not particularly controlled, at least Latin and at least breed rabbits.
Julia K. So you will be admitted to college without a high school diploma?
Katerina T. K. As the director of the homeschool school, write out a transcript and a certificate. For advanced college courses, you can send it to certified places, such as Austin Community College. Or there are a bunch of options on the Internet of different algebra and calculus. He can go to take a foreign language exam at a local high school. There are a ton of homeschooling resources that teach you how to write transcripts for college to accept and so on.
Lisa T. Well, first of all, Kindergarten is not required in TX. This time. Secondly, you can choose online education or homeschooling if the school is bad in the area of residence. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Communication is an integral part of children’s life and the ability to build relationships. Thirdly, most schools do not have separate ESL classes, they are often allocated if there are many Spanish speakers, but you can sign up for ESL help, and an ESL certified teacher will provide it individually or just give extra classes in a regular class if certified. When choosing a school, you can ask the question in what form ESL assistance is provided. Fourthly, if the child is 5 in December, then if you start in the winter, then you end up in preK, not K Kindergarten, and that’s good. Write that he does not speak English and preK will be free at school. The child quickly adapts and learns the language. At this age, they don’t really need ESL, in principle. But teachers should be aware of this. There are not necessarily 20 children in the public school class, for example, we have 12. Who is sick, who is online. And even if they are 20, everything is like in a kindergarten there. Toys, entertainment, children are divided into groups. In general, I recommend not to worry and take a closer look at choosing a school. There are events all the time and you can sign up for volunteering and have your child in the access zone all the time if you are so worried. And get to know the teacher and all the staff better. They love helpers.
Natalia K . We arrived when our daughter was 5.5 years old. At school she learned to speak. Six months later, she was more or less chatting. By the end of the year there were no problems at all. Here in schools it is not surprising to anyone that the child does not speak English. Teachers know how to work with such children, for example, they duplicate their words with gestures. In general, I will join the advice not to worry. I would only advise asking the child about the past day at school and if she has questions about the rules or the daily routine, then clarify this with the teacher. Our teacher liked this dialogue very much. She said that it was so clear to her that the child understood something.
Ekaterina Sh . I think that the child is the least of all to worry about. She will go to school, she will be enrolled in ESL, since knowledge of English. she will not be at the proper level and in a year she will speak English better than you.
Natalia G. We sent our son to kindergarten at 4. He found a friend. A friend spoke only Spanish, Misha only Russian. Two months later, both were speaking English. I had to learn a common language for communication. Give it to the garden. If the child is ordinary, not super-shy, then he will learn and friends will appear.
Ad L. Everything is very individual, depending on the child. My son turned 5 during the move. The move was a huge stress for him. He simply could not go to the garden in English (he knew it minimally). It was horror and a nightmare for him. We left him at home and got an English speaking student nanny. And tighten the language, and let it adapt to the environment, and grow up. Not every child is ready to take and go alone to a classroom with 20 unfamiliar children who speak a different language. My son and I went to a private garden for three weeks, but the horror never left him. This despite the fact that he has always been very adaptive and reckless. But the stress so “shot”. Everything is individual. Find friends, circle of friends, mugs, a babysitter if possible. This is if you do not immediately go into the garden to go, of course. Unfortunately, now far from everywhere they are allowed to stay with the child and adapt it normally.
Olga P. We started taking our daughter to gymnastics in English (she was 3) – we learned the basic commands), and then school at 4 years old (local pre-k), a month later we chatted like a local. It’s also good to find an English-speaking girlfriend.
Ksenia S. It seems to me that at the age of 5 children quickly adapt. Plus, there is a large Russian community in Austin. All sorts of mugs, educators. And at school, children quickly adapt, now there is no lockdown, so before you have time to look back, and the child will already teach you English. At that age (5 years) I would be more worried about my native language. For this reason, we are in no hurry to send our son to kindergarten (he is 3). Because the language picks up very quickly.
Vladimir H . Everything is individual, if the child is not anxious, then no special adaptation is needed. My youngest daughter could not go to the prikei, she sobbed in front of her parents, she sat like a mummy without her parents, before going to bed she sobbed again that she had to go to school tomorrow. They quit. Prikey was optional and the school was not “native”, so they were not against it. In the K-class (zero) we were lucky with virtual learning, learned the rituals, got used to the teacher, successfully completed the second half, as it seems to us, because of the efforts of the class teacher and the ESL teacher – we called them up, explained the situation and they adjusted, slipped the children play games, helped make friends, didn’t pull you out of class, etc. The teacher laminated a piece of paper with pictures of what to go to the toilet, drink and something else, gave one home to learn, the other at school. I have used google translate several times. And we set up the child at home that she goes to school to rest, and it’s not her problem to understand something, but she just needs to sit and listen. Somehow relaxed.
Vadim F . Children often go to American schools without knowing English at all, which is why there are programs and specially trained teachers. Ours went to school in the 3rd grade with 5 words a week after arriving in Austin, adopted very quickly. The next step will be how to make the child speak Russian at home. Children after school easily switch to English.
Natalia Х . When we moved, I also asked this question on the forums. My daughter was 4, my son was 10. And many wrote to me – you’ll see, children adapt very quickly, much faster than adults. And there is- %. Don’t even bother with it. Teach them how to ask to go to the bathroom, explain what they can/can’t do, where to wait for you after school, or how to behave if the child gets to school on the school bus. Monitor the schools, they have their ratings on the great schools website (although this is not so relevant for the preparatory class) or, even better, if someone you know will advise the area and school. And do other tasks, everything will be ok with the child. America is a country of immigrants.
Summor A. The child adapts faster. If there are no problems with speech (delay in its development), then everything will quickly pass by itself. Find other children on the playgrounds, including Russian speakers, and everything will come by itself.
Marina O . You have to give her Kindergarten, then in the 1st grade she will be calmer, she will understand elementary things. Do not give to the Russian kindergarten, there is nothing to it.
Pavel M. Terms of adaptation depend on the child of course. But the fact that he went straight to school and quickly adapts is a fact. Our daughter used 5 words on the playground upon arrival and was already a ringleader. When I fully went to school after the lockdown, in a month and a half I wrote in such a way that we envied. So don’t worry too much about it.
Alenka A. At the age of 5 it is already a school. Schools provide support for non-speakers, your task is to write her basic information (so that if she asks for help). Take a Russian school in the afternoon for less stress.
