I enjoy assisting the child from their earliest stages through each level of their development. The joy of learning is evident from the smiles on their faces; that awakes the joy within me. I realize that childcare is not all smiles and laughs; understanding their needs through their tears and fussing creates the complete combination that makes the best connection between the parent, the child and me. This is my goal, to bring to the classroom the partnership of teacher and parent to provide the best care possible for each child in my care. Quality childcare is my commitment to children.

Children with special needs get targeted support at Rising Ground

Encouraging Progress

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and thrive. Our Preschool Special Education programs make sure children with special needs and developmental delays get that opportunity, too.

We create a warm, trusting environment where children feel comfortable to explore the world around them and develop social and emotional skills so they can thrive and grow. Children in our Preschool Special Education programs have varied challenges, including speech impairments, learning disabilities, neurological impairments, developmental disabilities, emotional/behavioral challenges and autism.

Setting and Achieving Goals

No matter what the challenge, we help children progress toward their personal goals, such as learning to make eye contact, controlling aggressive behaviors and communicating through sign language. We meet each child’s specific developmental and learning objectives through play, individual instruction time, and classroom activities. Trained teachers tailor classroom activities to each child’s unique learning style, personality, strengths and challenges.  

Whether in integrated classes alongside their typically developing peers or in small, specialized classes, students also receive individual or group occupational, physical, and speech therapy and the counseling needed to support their development.

For those with more significant needs, specialized preschool classes – with six, eight or ten children and a teacher and two teaching assistants – provide the intensive services children need.  

40% of our special-education preschoolers in integrated settings move onto Kindergarten needing less intensive or no special education services.

Supporting Parents

Because supporting a child with special needs brings unique challenges, we help parents learn too. Through conversations with teachers about daily activities and approaches to meet their children’s particular needs, we give parents the tools they need to continue supports at home so every child can achieve his or her potential. Parent support groups offer a safe space in which parents can discuss the challenges they face with other parents and share solutions.

Waldau Castle – Museum of the Teutonic Order

Museums

Rural tourism

Waldava Castle Museum

The territory of the present Kaliningrad region several centuries ago was part of the lands of the Teutonic Order. The power of the Order was based on a network of powerful fortresses that controlled territories, trade routes and the actions of the local population. Waldau Castle, founded in the 13th century, is one of the few well-preserved fortifications of the Teutonic Knights.

Through the efforts of enthusiasts, a museum was created in the castle, which operates to this day, in which you can learn a lot of interesting things about the history of the region, the life of the surrounding inhabitants and the crafts of the Baltic region.

History of Waldau Castle

Valdava Castle is located in the village of Nizovye, Kaliningrad Region. Previously, this settlement was also called Waldau. The name comes from the ancient Baltic word “valdati”, meaning “to own”. Thus, the name “Waldau” is translated as “Possession”. The expansion of the Teutonic Order turned out to be tragic for the local Baltic peoples – the Curonians and Prussians, who were practically destroyed by the German knights.

After the capture of Prussia, the Teutonic Order builds castles to control the surrounding lands and trade routes. There is a version that the citadels were built with money received from the Templars, since the Teutonic knights themselves did not have significant cash reserves. For the first time, the fortification of the “Walds” is mentioned in the order chronicles of 1258. A more serious fortress was erected in 1264 to control the road along which order servants, knights and priests constantly moved.

In the middle of the 15th century, a castle was built on the site of the old fortress, meeting all the requirements of the fortification of that time. For a long period, the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order lived in a reliable citadel. In the future, the castle served as one of the outposts of the Prussian kingdom.

The history of the Waldau Castle and Russia first crossed in 1697, when members of the Great Embassy, ​​headed by the young Tsar Peter the Great, lived in the castle buildings for several days. In the 1820s, the Prussian king leased the castle to a wealthy aristocratic family, who completely rebuilt it in accordance with the architectural style of that time. It is this rebuilt castle complex that has survived to our time.

In the middle of the 19th century, the faculties of the agricultural academy were located on the territory of the castle, and in the 70s of the 19th century a teacher’s seminary was based here. In the post-war years, the castle buildings were given over to the needs of an agricultural school, and the outbuildings were used as a hostel for this educational institution. In 2007, the Waldau Castle was given the status of a cultural heritage site. In 2010, the object was transferred to the ownership of the Kaliningrad Diocese.

Modernity of Waldau Castle

The Waldau Castle Museum was organized in 2007 in the right wing of the castle by Andrey Ivanovich Barinov, a well-known local historian, sculptor, member of the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation.

Gradually, the museum team was replenished with new employees – real museum enthusiasts and new expositions telling about the history of the castle and the life of local residents. Today, the museum offers its guests many interesting exhibits that allow them to get to know the daily life of the Teutonic Order, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the German Empire.

Separate thematic exhibitions are devoted to crafts such as weapons, carpentry, pottery and pharmacy.

The interiors of the castle halls have been restored and are furnished with furniture from the 18th-19th centuries and filled with works of art – sculptures, paintings, engravings and photographs. On one of the walls you can see a gallery of portraits of the former owners of the Waldau castle.

In the left wing of the castle Waldau

The restoration of the left wing of the castle is carried out by the simple Sorokin family, who rented the building for 25 years. With their own efforts and the efforts of caring people, the tenants restored the utility block with a historic courtyard, cleaned and restored the basement of the times of the Teutonic Order, landscaped the area near the castle and planted climbing roses.

A new variety of asparagus was bred on the grounds of the castle, which was subsequently registered under the name “Waldau”. A delicacy vegetable is massively grown and sold in cafes and restaurants. You can get to the asparagus tasting here in May-June. There are plans to hold an asparagus festival.

The Sorokin family regularly holds interactive exhibitions and master classes. Anyone can make a decorative element from plaster – especially for this, molds were made for casting elements of medieval patterns.

Recently, Waldava Castle has become a favorite location for filming popular programs and filming.
