About Daycares in Fairfax VA

Fairfax is the seat of Fairfax County, and is located 17 miles West of Washington, DC. It is well known for outstanding cultural amenities, strong support for educational opportunities, and was recognized by Forbes as one of “The Top 25 Places to Live Well” in the United States. There are 189 regulated child care facilities in Fairfax (including State licensed daycare centers, licensed home daycares, and child care homes with a Fairfax County permit). The average cost of center-based child care in Fairfax $325 per week for infants and $230 per week for 4-year old preschoolers. Tuition rates are lower in home-based daycares and preschools with full-time weekly tuition of $250 per week on average for infants and $225 per week for 4-year-olds.

The city of Fairfax offers a great combination of a charming small-town feel, with all the amenities of a bigger city: various parks and recreation programs, world-class business opportunities, and one of the countries’ best public-school systems. The town embraces its rich history and cultural diversity with several annual festivals and community events. Such events include Spotlight of the Arts, the Chocolate Lovers Festival and the Fall Festival which invite thousands of visitors and hundreds of craft merchants.
Regulated early care and education programs are either licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia or permitted by Fairfax County. Child care providers are required by law to register unless exempted explicitly for religious reasons or if they only provide occasional babysitting to friends and family members. Home daycares typically offer more flexible hours of operation and are generally less costly than child care centers. There are many more family child care programs in Fairfax than center-based daycares or preschools. There are 97 facilities with a Fairfax County Permit to provide care for up to 4 children in the caregiver’s home and 53 state-licensed Family Day Homes which care for 5 to 12 children. There is thus a total of 150 home daycares in Fairfax. In comparison, there are only 39 child care centers. Those are facilities ran in a place other than the owner’s residence and licensed to a specified maximum number of children based on the size of the facility.
The quality of early learning programs is crucial in the development of young children in preparation for academic success and towards reaching their fullest potential. The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) issues state licenses and guarantees the monitoring of child care facilities according to legal requirements and stringent standards. Those are meant to ensure that children are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities, and a healthy, safe, and secure environment. To get a child care license, facilities must be safe, with ample space for children and must undergo a fire inspection from authorized agencies. All staff and adults over 14 years old with regular access to the child care facility undergo a comprehensive state and federal background checks. Caregivers also complete first aid and CPR training and must get signed physical and health certificates by a certified health practitioner.
Parents have different needs and preferences when choosing a child care facility. In Fairfax, families living in poverty represent almost 8% of the population. Fourteen child care facilities participate in a government subsidy program and accept child care vouchers to pay for tuition fees. More than 20 child care facilities in Fairfax offer before and after school care to serve families with school-aged children. Five daycares provide a Summer Camp program where children engage in fun activities and enrichment programs during the summer holidays. For families looking for an all-inclusive program, 19 daycares can accommodate children with special needs. Those facilities usually have staff with specialized training in universal precaution procedures, disabilities precaution, intervention strategies, and medication administration. Parents may also be interested in one of the 10 faith-based daycares or the 4 bilingual programs. Children with food allergies will be best cared for in one of the 25 peanut-free daycares in Fairfax.

Infant Toddler Family Day Care of Northern Virginia (ITFDC) | Fairfax, VA

Program areas at ITFDC

U.s. department of agriculture (usda) child and adult care food program is a contract that serves first as a conduit, whereby home day care providers are reimbursed for providing meals to children under their care based on rates established by the usda. The second part of the contract is an administrative fee that is to cover the administrative costs of the program. The maximum fee amount is set prior to contract award and currently is based on number of homes served.

Childcare resource and referrals (ccr&r) provides families with information on how to select and monitor child care. They help to connect parents, providers, community leaders and policy makers on the same agenda. Ccr&r helps families find and evaluate child care and provide information on finding assistance for payment of child care services. The program offers technical assistance, training and support while collaborating with others to address issues concerning local early childhood education.

Family day care providers program (fdcp) consists of the Family day care providers trust, a joint venture of home day care providers, which is a separate legal entity with its co-agents. The day care providers offer care and early childhood development to children starting at six weeks of age and older. Infant Toddler conducts training, certification, marketing, child placement services, billing collection and other administrative services to the joint venture for a percentage of the gross fees billed to customers by the joint venture less agreed upon expenses. The training and support conducted by Infant Toddler ensures high standards for the safety and development of children under the care of the Family day care providers program.

• Infant Care

  At the Primrose School of Chantilly your little one will get more than an infant daycare experience. Our teachers help your child develop and grow, building one skill upon another- which is why we are the leader in early education and care!

• Health & Safety First

  Each Primrose school is held to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.

• What Are “QI Skills,” and Why Does My Child Need Them?

  There’s no question that parents want their preschoolers to grasp the basics of colors, numbers and letters to foster a lifetime of learning.

• Hugs were invented to let them know you love them without having to say anything!

  Not just a simple hug, we experience oxytocin (aka the cuddle hormone) which gives us those warm and fuzzies and builds the bonds of devotion and trust. Hugging truly connects us with each other physically and biologically!

• How We Teach Math at Primrose

  It might seem odd to think about your preschooler exploring data analysis and algebra.

• Primrose Way Infant

  Fact: A baby loves peek-a-boo when he begins to understand an object exists, even when not in view.

• Why Balanced Learning® Works

  It’s a fact: children learn better when they are engaged. That’s why purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers are key components of Balanced Learning. See how this time-tested approach with a strong emphasis on life skills and character development can help your child develop and excel.

We’d love for your family to meet ours.

Best Dog Daycares In Northern Virginia – Our Top 7

April 20, 2022 by Nick White

Best Dog Daycares in Northern Virginia – Top 7

A dog is just another family member, and just like you would treat any other member of your family, you want to ensure their best care. But sometimes it’s just not possible, especially when you have to be away for a long time. If you don’t have anyone who can stay with your dog for the time you’ll be away, dog daycare can save your day. A dog daycare also makes sense when you have a demanding job or other commitments that make it impossible to dedicate time for your pup. Dogs are social

creatures who need play and socialization. A dog daycare lets you drop off your dog when you cannot watch them. We’ve compiled a list of some of the top dog daycares in Northern Virginia for when you need help with your pup.

A Dog’s Day Out

A Dog’s Day Out is among the top facilities providing daycare services. The facility offers cage-free daycare services so your dog can play freely with other dogs without the restriction of a cage. Your dog socializes and interacts with other dogs in spacious small, medium and large daycare spaces. Dogs are separated by size and placed in climate-controlled areas. What makes A Dog’s Day Out stand out is the provision of daycare passes that don’t expire. The only thing they ask for is that you drop off your dog by noon.

Rover

Rover makes it to the list of the best dog daycares in Northern Virginia because of their unique service. Their network includes pet sitters who are readily available to care for your dog when you can’t care for them as you would like. Rovers works by connecting dog owners with sitters through an app or online, but it doesn’t end there. Once you choose a sitter, you can meet with them before making a booking to determine if they are the best to take care of your furry friend. Rover provides services to all dogs, including special needs dogs and high-energy puppies.

Affectionate Pet Care

Affectionate Pet Care is a dog care facility located in Fairfax, VA. They provide cage-free pet boarding with services that range from daycare, training, dog walking, pet transport, and grooming. They also offer special daycare services for workdays and vacation breaks. Affectionate Pet Care provides individualized care where dogs are separated by size and temperament. Their dedicated staff encourages good behavior in your dog with positive reinforcement.

Dogtopia

Dogtopia is a top dog facility and one of the best dog daycares in Northern Virginia. Why? Dogtopia understands that your dog is social, so they integrate lots of play into a dog’s routine. At Dogtopia, your dog will enjoy up to 10 hours of playtime in climate-controlled rooms and groups of their size. Rather than just dropping off your dog and picking them up later on, you can keep tabs on your pup through a webcam throughout the day.

Capitol Canine Club

Capitol Canine Club has provided dog daycare services for over four decades. They ensure that your dog keeps moving and socializing but with downtime. All dogs are taken for walks outside before and after playing. During walks, a trainer takes time to instill basic training and manners in your dog. At midday, the dogs are allowed a much-needed nap time to recuperate for a fun-filled afternoon.

Dog Tales Daycare

Dog Tales Daycare stands out among the best dog daycares in Northern Virginia. Their services include daycare, overnight boarding, training, and dog birthday parties. They also provide extra services like more walks, massages, special treats, and grooming. You can also keep tabs on your dog through a live dog webcam throughout the day.

Fur Get Me Not

Fur Get Me Not has a massive 4,000-square-foot playroom so your dog can run, slide, jump and play as much as they want. Located in Arlington, Fur Get Me Not was founded in 2000. The dogs are divided into playgroups depending on personality and size. All dogs also play in safe, positively reinforcing spaces depending on their size, age, and physical needs.

Determining If a Dog Daycare Is Right for Your Dog

Exercise, engagement, and mental stimulation are why you might opt for a dog daycare. However, not all dogs thrive in daycare facilities. For instance, dogs that have issues interacting with other dogs are not the best candidates for dog daycares. At most daycare facilities, dogs get separated by size, age, and personality. If your dog already exhibits aggression towards other dogs or people, you need to go back to training.

One of the best dog training companies in Northern Virginia is Off Leash K9 Training. We have top-notch training facilities and experienced trainers who will provide one-on-one training to your dog. A good program for dogs with aggression or reactivity issues is an 8-week aggressive dog training that involves basic obedience training and other additional lessons so that your dog gets used to different scenarios, including daycare scenarios.

We also have an advanced obedience training program that equips your pup with basic obedience skills while teaching them manners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you need a license to run a doggie daycare?

A: Licensing requirements for dog daycare centers vary, depending on the jurisdiction. No federal licensing requirement exists. So, many state, county, and local governments establish laws, regulations, and ordinances for businesses that board animals. Check with your local government administration office and your state board of agriculture to learn about any licensing or permitting requirements in your area.

Q: Does Disney have dog daycare?

A: Walt Disney World’s Best Friends Pet Care provides doggy daycare to guests while they enjoy the park. It features 17,000 square feet of indoor space and 10,000 square feet of outdoor play areas and dog runs. There’s also a 25,000 square-foot dog park. The daycare employs 75 pet care providers.

Q: Does doggy daycare help with separation anxiety?

A: Separation anxiety is typically caused by undependable schedules, the introduction of new people, the loss of a family member, or a move. Separation anxiety can be awful for your four-legged companion. Fortunately, doggy daycare is an effective countermeasure. It gives your dog a dependable routine with lots of mental stimulation and physical exercise, lessening the effects of separation anxiety.

“Beauty and Tranquolyy”

. 2016

My family has been traveling McCallum More Gardens for many years. It’s the perfect, peaceful location, with cleaning in a residential area (just a few blocks from the main street). We wanted to go there for many seasons every year, to enjoy the view of flowering trees and bushes. There are benches everywhere where you can sit and relax. We also enjoyed the revolving art shows and other galleries (they have a Fantastic arrow collection) in the museum, and Jazz in the Park. This is a local gem, a hidden gem. On the site descibes gardens: “Colorful garden paths, winding historical treasures, chips in the pleasant atmosphere of mccallum more museum and gardens. Our gardens are various five specialized gardens, including Rose Garden, Grass and Wildflower Garden, Rose Garden, Garden of joy from the future Kindergarten. Below are descriptions and photographs of each.”

“BEAUTIFUL, ORNATE GARDENS – PLUS A MUSEUM WITH EXHIBITS FROM TIME TO TIME”

Apr. 2015

I genuinely enjoy spending time in the various Seasons at McCallum More Museum and Gardens at Fish Watching City. The gardens are tranquil acres that were part of the center of the quaint southern Virginia town. We love to walk the gardens and sit, I assure you, here on one of the many benches. The museum has different exhibitions throughout the year and we wanted to take a more artistic focus on the events. If you are looking for a day trip from the Raleigh-Durham area, MMMG does beautiful main centerpiece of the trip.

Unusual Garden

Solo travel

Stopped by here because of the reviews. Chase City is really off the beaten path for sure and you have to go out of your way to come here.

The Garden gate was open but there was nobody around when I visited. So no guides or information to go by. While they call this a garden there was virtually nothing in bloom. Rather it is a garden of sculptures and metal work done of it really nice but also some that have certainly seen better days.

So If you want to see an unusual place it is worth a trip but nothing extraordinary and not worth taking a special trip of several hours for. For reference the garden is about 21 miles from South Hill Virginia and 22 miles from I-85 over very rural roads.

Great outdoor place for families to enjoy

Family Fun

During COVID-19 we were looking for places to go outdoors that would give us a break from the house. This garden has many paths that lead to all sorts of interesting discoveries. Even in winter there is something to see and it is a nice place to stretch your legs. Statues, benches, water features and so many gorgeous plants! They are working on a children’s garden and a butterfly exhibit. The bathroom is in the gift shop and is often closed so remember that before you visit with kids. Lovely picnic spot too!

Charming Garden

Traveling alone

I visited the garden on a beautiful autumn day – it was very special with the leaves falling and stunning fall colors. The volunteer in the gift shop was so friendly and helpful. I do feel concern, however, for some of the beautiful statuary and other stone features, as they are showing a lot of wear and tear. But this is a very tranquil setting, with plenty of benches where you can sit, relax, and feel the peace.

Family Vacation

My family has been visiting the MacCallum More Gardens for many years. It is a lovely, tranquil spot tucked away in the residential district (just a few blocks from Main Street). We try to get there during multiple seasons each year, to enjoy the variety of flowering trees and shrubs. There are benches throughout where one can sit to rest. We have also enjoyed the revolving art displays and other exhibits (they have an amazing arrowhead collection) in the museum, and “Jazz in the Gardens.” It is a local treasure and a hidden gem.

Blacksburg, Virginia We love garden visitings and, seeing the two “5 star” reviews listed here, decided to take us on the 3 hour drive (6 hour round trip) to Chase City and visit these. If we lived within half an hour of these gardens, I might consider them to be a neat place to go for a picnic. If we had stumbled upon them like Cheryl H, we would have been pleasantly surprised. However, they are definitely not worth a special trip such as ours. First, there were no flowers whatsoever in bloom outside of a few potted plants here and there. The rose garden was composed of about 9plants that had zero buds on them. The entire property was basically trees and ground covering such as ivy. The main attraction is the statuary. Granted, many of the peaces were pretty interesting, but many of them were also in disrepair. Few fountains were actually working, a number of lights had bare wires sticking out of the top of the posts, and one angel statue was actually held together with black duct tape! We spent about an hour walking through the grounds and covered all of it, even with stopping to look at each note on the provided map. We had planned on eating a picnic lunch there, but the mosquitoes kept attacking me and so we retreated to our car and made our getaway. My wife and I are very easy going and easily entertained and we did get some pretty neat pictures, so we didn’t leave upset. I imagine, however, that someone else who makes the long trip there with high expectations could be easily frustrated with what they find. I give it a “one star” simply to balance the other two five stars. If I lived local and didn’t need to travel, I might be tempted to rate it 2 or 3. I guess I should add that we did not go into the museum- our expectations were so low for it after having traversed the property that we didn’t want to shell out the money for it.

MacCallum More Museum and Gardens FAQ

John Nash 13/6/1928

My beginning as a legal entity took place on June 13, 1928, in Bluefield, Western
Virginia, at the Bluefield Sanitarium, which no longer exists. Of course I can’t
consciously recall something from the first two or three years of my life. (also, I suspect, psychologically, the most
early memories have become “memories of memories”, and are comparable to folk
fairy tales passed down from storytellers to listeners from generation to generation). But there are available
facts when direct memory fails in many circumstances.

John’s father was an electrical engineer

My father, after whom I was named, was an electrical engineer and came to Bluefield to work
into a public utility company, which then, as now, was Appalachian Electric Power
company. He was a veteran of the First World War, served in France as a lieutenant in the supply service and,
therefore, never was on the front lines of the war. He was originally from Texas and received a degree
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical.

My mother, nee Margaret Virginia Martin, but known to everyone as Virginia, was born in Bluefield.
She attended West Virginia University and was a school teacher until her marriage, teaching
English and sometimes Latin. But my mother’s subsequent life changed significantly due to partial
hearing loss as a result of scarlet fever when she was still a university student.

Her parents had already arrived as a couple in Bluefield from their homes in western North
Caroline. Her father, Dr. James Everett Martin, was educated as a physician at the University of Maryland.
in Baltimore and came to Bluefield, which at that time was growing and developing rapidly to
start practicing. But in the last years of his life, Dr. Martin became a real estate investor and left
medical practice. I never saw my grandfather because he died before I was born, but I
there are good memories of my grandmother and how she played the piano in the old house,
which was located almost in the center of Bluefield.

My sister, Marta, was born two and a half years after me, on November 16, 1930.

Already in kindergarten, Nash read Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia

I attended Bluefield Comprehensive Schools, but before going to elementary school, I attended
Kindergarten. My parents provided me with Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia, so I learned a lot.
from reading this book as a child. There were others in our house and the house of grandparents
books that had educational value.

Bluefield, a small town in a relatively remote area in the Appalachians, was not a community
scientists or high technology. It was the center of businessmen, lawyers, etc., which is due to the fact that the city
located on the railroad next to the rich coal deposits of West Virginia and western
parts of Virginia. So from an intellectual point of view, there was a kind of difficulty
learn something from the world’s knowledge, not the knowledge of city dwellers.

When I was a student in high school, I read E.T. Bell’s classic book “Men
Mathematics” and I remember success in proving Fermat’s classical theorem on integers,
multiplied by itself p times, where p is a prime number.

At that time, I was also doing experiments in electricity and chemistry. At first, when at school
asked an essay about a career, I prepared an essay about a career as an electrical engineer, like my father. Later I entered
at Carnegie Tech. in Pittsburgh as a student with basic knowledge of a chemical engineer.

Making a career in America as a mathematician is not so impossible

Regarding the circumstances of my education at Carnegie (now Carnegie Mellon U.), I was lucky
study on a full scholarship from the George Westinghouse Foundation. But after one semester in the direction
chemical engineering, I reacted negatively to the mandatory attendance of courses, such as a course in assembly
drawings and switched to chemistry. But again, after continuing my studies in chemistry, I ran into difficulties
in quantitative analysis, where it didn’t matter how well you could think and understand
or study the facts, but the ability to hold a pipette and do titration in the laboratory was welcome.
Also, the Department of Mathematics encouraged me to switch to mathematics as the main direction and explained,
that it is not so impossible to make a career in America as a mathematician. So I again
moved and officially became a student of mathematics. And in the end I learned so much and so
progressed in mathematics, that at the end of the university, in addition to a bachelor’s degree, I
given a master’s degree.

I should mention that during the last years in the schools in Bluefield my parents arranged for
me for additional mathematics classes at Bluefield College, which then became a two-year
institute administered by the Southern Baptist Convention. I have not received the official status of “advanced
standing” (the status of a student who transferred from one college to another without losing a year;
enrolled in one of the senior courses with credit for subjects; taken at another university) at Carnegie
due to my additional studies, but I had the knowledge and abilities and I did not have to
learns a lot in the first mathematics courses.

After studying, I remember that I was offered scholarships for graduate school and Harvard
and in Princeton. But the Princeton scholarship was somewhat more generous, given that I actually
did not win the Putnam Competition (The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition – an annual
mathematics competition for college students wishing to enter higher education institutions in the United States and Canada)
and Princeton was more interested in me. Professor A. W. Tucker wrote me an encouraging letter about the move
and from a family point of view, Princeton was more attractive as it was much closer to Bluefield.
Thus Princeton was chosen for my graduate school.

But while I was still at Carnegie, I took an elective course in International
economics” and as a result of the impact of economic ideas and problems, I came to the idea,
which led to the article “The Bidding Problem”, which was later published in Econometrical.
And this same idea, in turn, when I was a graduate student at Princeton, led to my
research interest in game theory, which was created thanks to the work of von Neumann and Morgenstern.

As a graduate student, I studied mathematics quite extensively and I was lucky, except for the development of ideas that led to “Non-cooperative
games”, also make a good discovery related to topological manifolds and real
algebraic varieties. So I was actually prepared for the possibility that the theory work
games will not be considered an acceptable dissertation in the Faculty of Mathematics, and then
I will be able to achieve a PhD with the help of other results.

Nash’s ideas in some sense deviated from the “line” of the book of von Neumann and Morgenstern

But in reality, ideas in game theory that have in some sense deviated from the “line”
(as happens with “political party lines”) the books of von Neumann and Morgenstern were
accepted as a dissertation for the title of Doctor of Science and it was later, at that time
how I was a teacher at M.I.T. when I wrote “Real Algebraic Varieties”
and sent for publication.

I arrived at M.I.T. in the summer of 1951 as a teacher and researcher in mathematics
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.L.E._Moore_instructor). I was a teacher at Princeton for one year, after
receiving my degree in 1950. Accept a high-paying teaching position at M.I.T. required
more for personal and social reasons than academic ones.

At the Faculty of Mathematics M.I.T. I was from 1951 until I retired in the spring
1959 years old. During the 1957-1958 school year, I received an Alfred P. Sloan Grant and decided to
year as a (temporary) fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.

During this period, I was able to solve a classic unsolved differential problem.
geometry, which was also of some interest in connection with geometric questions,
arising in OTO. It was a problem in proving the isometric embeddability of abstract Riemannian
manifolds into flat (“Euclidean”) spaces. But this task, despite the fact
that it is a classic has not been much discussed as a prominent issue. She was more like
as a hypothesis about 4 colors.

As soon as this happened – as soon as I heard in a conversation in M.I.T. that
the question of embeddability is still open – I began to study it. The first throw led to a curious
result that embeddability can be realized in surprisingly low-dimensional outer spaces and one can
assume that the embedding will have only limited smoothness. Later, with the help of “heavy analysis”,
the problem was solved in the embedding domain with a more accurate degree of smoothness.

For some time, due to ignorance, Nash was solving a problem in which Ennio de Giorgi had already succeeded.

While I was on my “Sloan Sabbath” at the Institute for Advanced Study
at Princeton, I studied another problem concerning partial differential equations,
which has not been solved outside of the two-dimensional case. At that time, despite
to the fact that I was making progress in solving this problem, I encountered bad luck, in that
sense that, not being sufficiently informed about what other people are doing in this area, I worked
in parallel with Ennio de Giorgi from Pisa, Italy. And Giorgi was the first to reach the summit
(in the figurative sense of the described problem), at least in the rather interesting case of “elliptic
equations.”

It seems likely that if neither Giorgi nor Nash could successfully attack this problem
(about Hölder continuity estimates), then that lone climber who reached the top would be
awarded the Fields Medal (which, traditionally, was awarded only to scientists over 40).

Now I have to move during the change of my thinking from scientific-rational to delusional,
characteristic of persons with a mental diagnosis of “schizophrenia” or “paranoid schizophrenia”.
But I will not try to describe this long period of time, but rather I will try to avoid
embarrassment by simply leaving out details of a truly personal nature.

While I was on sabbatical for the 1956-1957 academic year, I got married. Alicia graduated from physics
department of M.I.T. where we met and she had a job in the New York area in 1956-1957.
She was born in El Salvador but moved to the US as a child, and she and her parents are already
long been US citizens, her father was an M.D. and worked in a hospital run by
federal government in Maryland.

Mental disorders began to appear at the beginning of 1959 years old, during Alicia’s pregnancy

Mental disorders began to appear in early 1959, during Alicia’s pregnancy. Consequently
I retired from M.I.T. and after spending 50 days under “supervision” at McLean
Hospital, went to Europe and tried to get refugee status.

Later, I spent 5 to 8 months in New Jersey hospitals, always on involuntary
basis and always trying to break free through legal arguments.

It so happened that after a long enough hospitalization, I finally abandoned my delusional hypotheses
and returned to understanding himself as a person of more generally accepted circumstances and returned to mathematical
research. In these interruptions of this forced rationality, I have succeeded in some
promising mathematical research. Thus came the studies for “Le Probleme de Cauchy
pour les E’quations Differentielles d’un Fluide Generale”; idea that Professor Hironaka
called “The Nash blowing-up transformation”; as well as “Arc Structure of Singularities”
and “Analyticity of Solutions of Implicit Function Problems with Analytic Data”.

But after returning to my dream-like delusional hypotheses, in the late 60s I became
a person with delusional thinking, but with a relatively calm behavior that allows
avoid hospitalization and direct attention of psychiatrists.

Thus some time passed. Later, I began to intellectually reject some of the delusional lines
thinking that was characteristic of my illness. It began, most recognizably, with the rejection of political
oriented thinking, which was essentially a hopeless loss of intellectual effort.

Apparently, at the present time, I again think rationally, as is characteristic of scientists. Yet this
not quite like joy, as if one were returning from physical illness to normal health.
One aspect of this is that the rationality of thought puts limits on the concept of man and his
connection with space. For example, a non-Zoroastrian would think of Zarathustra as simply crazy,
who led millions of naive followers to the cult of fire worship. But without your “madness”
Zarathustra would have been just another of the millions and billions of human beings who
lived their lives and were forever forgotten.

Statistically, it is almost unbelievable that any mathematician or scientist at the age of 66
could, by continuing his scientific activity, add much to his or her previous achievements. But I’m everything
still making an effort, and it can be assumed that with a break of 25 years of partially delusional thinking
is a kind of vacation and my situation may be atypical. Thus I have hope
achieve some valuable results from their current research or from new ideas that will come in the future.

Snowstorm Jonas from West Virginia to North Carolina

Judging by the headlines in the Russian media, our more Americans are worried about the dire consequences of a winter storm on the US East Coast. Although, maybe this is because I watch less American news – they are not so funny.
We were caught in the snow on our way home from our ski vacation. The mountains are located two states north of S. Carolina – in West Virginia. A small state, interesting for its nature and mountains. From all over the area people go there to ride in the winter, in the summer they also ride bicycles and all sorts of camping sites. State names are deliberately designed to be misleading. If North Carolina is in the east and has a quite southern climate, then West Virginia is in the southeast of the country, and it feels quite in the north. On the way there, I take a bag of clothes, and during the six hours of the journey, we gradually warm up. Well, I, basically, warm up, the weather somehow doesn’t give a damn to the peasants.
That way was a normal American winter. We drove and once again were surprised by the stories of friends about dangerous winter highways.

I am not allowed to drive on long trips. My husband loves more when I sit next to him and help him with advice. Perhaps it also played a role that I broke the wheel twice in the same place. So all the way pyrilas on the sides.
Here, someone is carrying a house

The truck from the movie “Final Destination”. In my practice, firewood has never flown out yet, but if you go for a trash can, some small bug is constantly hammering into the forehead of the car, and once even a sheet of iron flew in. But since I watched “Final Destination”, I was ready and managed to dodge.

At the entrance to the state, because of the mountains and the presence of an observatory somewhere on them, there are long stretches without cellular service. They argued how unpleasant it must be to be stuck in such an uninhabited place without communication, especially in the cold. Well, it’s all fairy tales.

Nothing much to say about the vacation itself, we rode, swam in the hot pool. I discovered a new pleasure – wallowing in the snow and then jumping into the water screaming. I probably wouldn’t climb into the hole, but in the hot pool with bubbles, it’s even nothing!
The key moment was the day of classes with the coach for Maksimka. It was very expensive, we took only one day, consisting of three lessons with breaks for rest and snacks. But the result exceeded expectations. That year, when we ourselves tried to introduce him to skiing, and this year, before classes, it didn’t work out at all. And then, I don’t know what the coach did, but twenty minutes after the start of the lesson, when we came up to check on how things were going, the child was already skating. After studying two lessons, he refused to go on a break (with hot chocolate!) And we already unsubscribed from the third lesson, because he was bored waiting for the group. We rode on by ourselves. Perhaps it played a role that he was already familiar with skiing. It also seems to me that it is important that a person be ready. Someone drives from a year and a half, for Maxim this moment came at four.

My first day on skis wasn’t nearly as successful.

In short, we had a great time and went home right at the beginning of the snowfall. In hindsight, in the process of digging the road with a snowboard, I thought it was necessary to postpone the departure for a day, the weather could not be better for skiing. Or, at least, going down to the flat ground, change your pants in a motel. But at that moment, we started off briskly, counting on the way home to still have time to throw equipment into the rental. I, like a true southerner, went in slippers, put my winter boots in a suitcase, still shoot at home.

Even in the mountains, I would not say that it looked more extreme than a normal Russian winter. It was uncomfortable from the lack of winter tires on the mountain serpentine, covered with a thick layer of snow. We also drove a small car, because on the shit-switch the day before departure, the janitor was broken off in the process of thorough washing.
Residents of West Virginia pleased with their preparedness for the change of seasons. They have normal winter clothes. Many have small lawn mower-type machines with a bucket in front, with which they clear the entrances to the house. Almost immediately, as it became scary to drive, large snow blowers began to work along the entire road. One of us and rescued when we turned the wrong way. Up the mountain in a rapidly growing snowdrift it would be impossible to leave.
Then a couple of times we were attached after the snow blowers, here it is, in a cloud of snow

And this is the highway

You can drive past the cameras – try to take a picture of the number

Instead of six or eight hours, the road took eleven. At the entrance to S. Carolina, the snow turned into freezing rain. Apart from highway exits, which sometimes could only be identified by signs, the road was already nothing, even the markings were visible in places. Cars began to come across, traveling at a speed of 20 and with an emergency gang, apparently, those who had just been forced to go somewhere by need. Abandoned cars were found on the roadsides several times. We drove through several accidents, mostly just flying into a ditch.
It was dark in Cary. After the highway, it’s generally normal, we still traveled around in search of something to eat, but unsuccessfully – the cafes closed early. Interruptions in food and breaks in communications did not affect us, although there were those in our district who sat for a day without electricity.
Oh, fresh newspaper

I never got over the Soviet habit of stocking up on food. Even taking into account the fact that they unloaded the refrigerator before the holidays, the stocks per company are just not interesting (The next day I took the camera to the store to photograph the empty shelves, but it turned out that everything is not so scary, although we live in a state that is not very prepared for the cold When it snows, it’s just that no one leaves unless absolutely necessary.They missed the right kind of bananas and their favorite orange juice.
The country is preparing for the next holiday with might and main

Now there are unusually many pedestrians with bags and backpacks on the streets. Those who are afraid to travel by car go to the nearest shops on foot. I didn’t think that I would see this here)) Someone crawls out for a walk because there is nothing to do, in half the cases such pedestrians speak Russian. The most thoughtful roam with container lids (such as sleds) in search of a good slide.
Snow Day has been canceled due to sudden snowfall. I wrote about it that year – this is when they pour a hill and a bunch of artificial snow for children to trample on. Due to weather conditions, no one leaves the house and Snow Day had to be cancelled. Here is such a squiggle.
I don’t know how they do it, but the next day after the snowfall the roads are perfect.

However, schools are closed on Monday and YouTube offers emergency survival videos. And the storm had already gone further north, somewhere towards New York.
I am tormented by the thought, well, how is it that if cold and snow are a natural disaster for you, why are you building cardboard houses with air conditioners that buzz when they work. I didn’t think I’d miss our ugly silent batteries. Why don’t you lay the plumbing with insulation? In the cold, it is recommended to leave a dripping tap so that the pipe does not freeze, and water is expensive. My pipe dream is a Russian stove. But here, of course, you will not find such a thing. But in every second house, the fireplace is beautiful, gluttonous for firewood and heats up only while it burns. Where is the advertising of discounts for winter tires, but at least for rent? Not profitable, apparently. Instead, they pretend that there is no winter. To the last, they run from the car to the door in shorts and flip flops on their bare legs. And when it is no longer possible to ignore nature, they simply don’t go out – I’m in the house! By the way, most of the houses that I enviously considered brick, as it turned out, have only one brick wall – the facade. For beauty.
Of course, winter in Russia is a surprise every year. But not so moronic. One can logically understand why public utilities prefer to keep the budget for preparing for winter. Why do snow blowers wind up the mileage by chasing dogs around the yard. And these people do not saw anything, and they respect the work. The mysterious American soul.

A little more about this winter:

Mama did it again

Very reluctant to go to work. So making a cabinet out of boxes got on the list of urgent cases.

What I like about cardboard furniture is that it is not a pity to break it, throw it away when moving and is easy to recycle. And of course, the cost. There are always a lot of boxes, because Americans have a very developed mail order business. Yes, and mail works as it should work, e-my!
Here, I could not resist, filmed a video.

This is our joint project with Kolya “House on the bed”. An awesome theme is pvc tubes, you can make almost everything from them: from a panel on a wall from circles to a garage.

Something has settled in our roller blind on the porch

Such a winter.

Reston, Virginia – Reston, Virginia

Reston is a census-designated place in Fairfax County, Virginia. Founded in 1964, Reston was influenced by the Garden City movement, which emphasized planned, off-grid communities mixed with green space, residential neighborhoods, and commercial development. The intention of Reston’s founder, Robert E. Simon, was to build a city that would revolutionize post-World War II land use and residential/corporate development concepts in suburban America. In 2018, Reston was voted the Best Place to Live in Virginia by 9 magazine0514 Money for its expanses of parks, lakes, golf courses, and bridle paths, and many shopping and dining opportunities in downtown Reston.

In 2019, the US Census Bureau estimated Reston’s population at 61,147.

History

In the early days of colonial America, the land on which Reston sits was part of the Northern Neck property, a huge grant from King Charles II to Lord Thomas Fairfax that stretched from the Potomac River to the Rappahannock River. The property remained with the Fairfax family until they sold it in 1852.

Carl A. Wiele and William Dunn purchased 6,449 acres in northern Fairfax County along the Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD) railroad line in 1886, later dividing the land between them, while Wiele retained the area north of the railroad line. Wiele planned to establish a city on the site, including a hotel, parks, and a community center, but built only a few houses before his death in 1901.

Vile’s heirs eventually sold the land, which changed hands several times before being bought by the A. Smith Bowman family, who built a bourbon distillery on the site. K 19In 1947, the Bowmans purchased the former Dunn Road south of the railroad for a total of over 7,000 acres. In 1961, Robert E. Simon used funds from his family’s recent sale of Carnegie Hall to purchase most of the land, except for the 60 acres (240,000 m ² ) on which the Bowman distillery continued to operate until 1987.

Concept and guidelines

Midtown Reston Condominiums, residential building in downtown Reston

Simon officially founded Reston on April 10, 1964 (his 50th birthday) and named the community by his initials. ^[7] He laid out seven “guidelines” that would emphasize the quality of life and serve as a basis for its future development. Its goal was for Restonians to live, work and play in their own community, with common grounds and scenic beauty shared equally regardless of income level, thereby creating a stronger sense of community connection. Simon’s original motto for the community was “Work, Play, Live” (or more commonly immortalized on Reston products, “Live, Work, Play”).

Simon’s Seven Principles:

1. The city should provide a variety of recreational opportunities, including a wide range of cultural and recreational facilities, as well as an environment for solitude;
2. Residents will be able to stay in the community throughout their lives, with a wide range of housing options to suit different needs and incomes;
3. The focus of all planning will be on the importance and dignity of the human being and will have priority for large scale concepts;
4. Reston residents will be able to live and work in the same community;
5. Commercial, cultural and recreational facilities will be available to residents immediately, not years later;
6. Beauty, both structural and natural, is a necessity and should be encouraged; as well as
7. Reston should be a financial success.

Simon envisioned Reston as a model for cluster housing development, also known as conservation development, that prioritizes the preservation of open space, landscapes, and wildlife habitats. Indeed, Reston was the first private community in the US in the 20th century to explicitly include conservation in its plans (Greenbelt, Maryland was a publicly supported community).

Early years (1964–1967)

Simon hired the architectural firm Whittlesey, Conklin & Rossant to design his new community. Reston’s plans were designed by architect James Rossant, who studied under Walter Gropius at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and his partner, William J. Conklin. From the outset, Rossant and Conklin’s planning conceptualized the new community as a unified, cohesive and balanced whole, including landscapes, recreational, cultural and commercial facilities, and housing for a city of 75,000 people. For Lake Anne Plaza, the first village center of Reston, the architects combined a small retail area with single-family houses, townhouses and apartments next to an artificial lake with a large jet fountain. Nearby were the Cubist style townhouses in the Hickory Cluster, designed in the International Style by renowned modernist architect Charles M. Goodman. Lake Ann also includes an elementary school, a gas station, and two churches, as well as an art gallery and several restaurants. The first section of the senior residence, the Lake Ann Fellowship House, was completed a few years later.

Reston welcomed its first residents at the end of 1964. During the first year of the community’s existence, major media outlets such as Newsweek , Time , Life , and New York Times featured the new city in an article praising the city. it is like “one of the most vibrant communities” in the United States. Nikki Hornsby played a paid hour at a street guitar concert for this new Reston community.

Reston Bay (1967–1978)

From the very beginning of Reston’s conception and development, Robert Simon faced financial difficulties as sales in the new community declined. To continue his project, he accepted a $15 million loan from Gulf Oil, which enabled him to pay off his creditors. Despite this, sales were sluggish, as Simon’s unwillingness to compromise on his high standards of building construction and materials meant that a townhouse in Reston could cost as much as a single-family home elsewhere in Fairfax County.

By 1967, Gulf Oil ousted Simon and established Gulf Reston, Inc. to run the community. Gulf retained many of Simon’s staff and continued to largely adhere to the spirit of Reston’s original master plan, as envisioned by Simon. During the 1970s, Gulf built the Reston International Center near the intersection of Sunrise Valley and Reston Parkway and added low- and middle-income housing to the community housing development, including the Cedar Ridge, Laurel Glade, and Fox Mill housing estates. Gulf also built employee housing for the USGS headquarters located on Sunrise Valley Drive.

In particular, Gulf Reston is committed to protecting Reston’s open spaces and walkable landscapes throughout its tenure. The Corporation also transferred ownership of many of Reston’s recreational properties, including land, parks, lakes, and other structures, to the Reston Homeowners’ Association, thereby keeping them from being overdeveloped.

Reston Land Corporation Mobile Oil (1978–1996)

Within 10 years of buying Simon, Gulf decided to exit the real estate business and focus solely on energy instead. He sold developed parts of Reston, including three completed village centers (Lake Ann, Tall Oaks and Hunters Woods), Reston International Center and Isaac Newton Square, to an investment firm. At 19In 1978, the company completed the sale of the remaining 3,700 undeveloped acres of Reston to Mobil Oil, which pledged to continue to respect the ideals of Robert Simon. Mobil formed Reston Land Corporation as a subsidiary to manage its holdings and began to develop the remaining residential areas in the villages that would become South Lakes and North Point. Reston Land introduced a wider selection of housing options, including more townhouses and small “starter” homes, and completed the Northern County State Center, which houses the Reston County Police Station and Fairfax County government offices, as well as a regional library and homeless shelter . .

Reston Land also laid the groundwork for the 460-acre downtown Reston that was part of Simon’s original master plan for Reston. The first four blocks of this multi-stage mixed-use development opened in 1996 and included a hotel, several restaurants, a cinema, and office buildings.

Reston in the new millennium (1996-present)

By 1996, Mobil decided to follow Gulf Oil’s lead and exit the land management business. It sold its entire Mobil Land Development subsidiary, including its Reston holdings, to Westbrook Partners, LLC for $324 million. As Reston Town Center continued to develop, Boston Properties became a leading player. The company became the sole owner of major multi-use lots in downtown Reston after completing the purchase of the Fountain Square office and retail complex in 2012.

Planning and zoning

Lake Anne Plaza in Reston

Reston is divided into three distinct planning areas: the original Planned Residential Community (PRC) area, which manages most of the residential areas in the community; The Reston City Center (RTC) area, which includes all high-rise, high-density downtown areas; and a transit station (TSA) on either side of the Dulles toll road.

Planned Residential Community (PRC)

Since the establishment of Reston, the planning and zoning of the PRC has focused on the inclusion and integration of common areas, parks, large forest areas with scenic trails (streams), wildflower meadows, golf courses, public swimming pools, bridle paths, bicycle paths. walkway, four lakes, tennis courts and extensive walking paths. Reston was built in woodlands of oak, maple, sycamore, and Virginia pine, and is still densely wooded. Extensive canopy guidance protects tree cover throughout the PRC, and homeowners are prohibited from felling trees larger than 4 inches in diameter without written permission from the Reston Design Review Board. The total zoning density throughout the PRC is currently limited to 13 people per acre. This figure, however, does not include Fairfax County residents, workforce and available units (WDU/ADU), nor the “bonus” units that developers are allowed to add to their projects as compensation for including ADUs in their offerings.

Downtown Reston Buildings

USGS Headquarters

Reston’s five village centers are part of the PRC. Simon envisioned a total of seven village centers, but only five were developed. The village centers and town center are an important part of Reston. Each village center, all of which (except North Point) predates downtown Reston, was required to be within walking distance of most homes and include residents’ daily needs of retail and community services. Moderately denser developments, such as apartments and clusters of townhouses, and some single-family homes, surround each center. The critically acclaimed Lake Ann was the first to be built, followed (in chronological order) by Hunters Woods, Tull Oaks, South Lakes, and North Point. By 2015, however, Tall Oaks had ceased to exist as the center of the village and was purchased by local development firm Tall Oaks Development Company with the intention of re-zoning the 7. 6-acre site and turning it into a residential building.

Reston City Center (RTCD)

During Mobil’s tenure, the corporation worked with Fairfax County to create a new downtown area to manage the planning and design of existing and new development in the core downtown area and remove it from the control of the Reston Association Design Review Board. Review and comment on all RTCD development proposals is limited to members of the RTC District Association, which is overseen by a Board of Directors consisting of 9members, 7 of which represent owners of commercial real estate.

Transit Station Area (TSA)

The main portion of the Transit Station Area (TSA), consisting of the 12-lane Dulles Tollway, the Metro heavy rail line, and office parks on both sides, runs through a half-mile-wide area, four from the north-south links. A fifth crossover on Soapstone Drive has been proposed by Fairfax County Transportation Planners, although funding has yet to be determined. TSA zoning and development planning is regulated by Fairfax County; as with the RTC county, direct oversight by the Reston association is not included, while entry and notice to PRC residents is limited. TSA’s zoning guidelines call for the area to be designed as an urban center with 30 million square feet of new and existing office buildings and 44,000 residential units.

Praise and coverage

Reston’s growth and development is followed by newspaper articles, national journals, and scholarly journals on architecture and land use. In 1967, U.S. First Lady Lady Bird Johnson visited Reston to take a walking tour of its paths as part of her interest in beautification projects. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin visited Reston elementary schools named after them. At January 2006 Washington Post wrote about a trip to Reston, and the Beyond DC website has a Reston page with nearly 150 photos.

Reston and Robert Simon have been recognized by the American Institute of Certified Planners for their significant contribution to urban planning. The AICP also recognized Reston as a national planning landmark, commending Simon’s vision of ensuring that fields and trees were scattered throughout the residential and commercial portions of the community, and recognized it as “one of the best examples of 20th-century America’s conceptual new city.” planning.”

In 2017, the Lake Ann Village Center Historic District was named to the National Register of Historic Places by the US Park Service, which is the official list of historic places worthy of preservation and protection.

Reston is one of the few communities in the US that has been recognized as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat community.

Reston usually follows the principles of “new urbanism”. The uptown area was built with an extensive system of paths, and Fairfax County has built many sidewalks in recent decades. Downtown and original neighborhoods also include mixed-use development, with more mixed-use development planned near Washington metro stations.

However, Reston differs from New Urbanism in several important ways. Many buildings in the PRC area are oriented away from main streets, and several major arteries lack a full network of sidewalks due to Fairfax County’s control over Reston’s transportation planning: until recently, Fairfax County’s zoning code required developers to build sidewalks only in certain limited areas . cases. The original inward orientation of the village centers was a deliberate design element of Reston’s early planners, who wanted to avoid the commercial strip that dominates many suburban developments.

Entertainment and Cultural Activities

The Fairfax County Special Tax District was created to fund various recreational, educational and cultural activities in Reston. The Reston Community Center (RCC) is the main element, its main building is located south of Reston at Hunters Woods Square and includes a theatre, heated indoor pool and hot tub, ballroom, meeting rooms and classrooms. A smaller RCC branch is located at Lake Anne Plaza.

Parks and Recreation

Building on Robert Simon’s focus on preserving green spaces and providing recreational opportunities, Reston offers more than 55 miles of walking and walking paths for residents, currently about 250 acres of forests and open spaces. Reston is known for its canopy trees, which currently cover about half of Reston’s total area. It is one of 8 communities in America that is a member of the worldwide organization of biophilic cities, which promotes the importance of protecting and developing nature in urban areas.

Reston’s focus on nature is the Vernon J. Walker Education Center. On 72 acres (290,000 m ² ) of hardwood forests, the Nature Center has a picnic gazebo, fire pit, and other facilities that support its outreach programs. Its LEED Gold-certified nature home offers exhibits, naturalist services, and a variety of programs for children; it can also be rented for public or private meetings.

Two golf courses are located in Reston. The 166-acre Reston National Golf Course in south Reston is certified by Audubon International as a Cooperative Cooperative Preserve in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Hidden Creek Country Club was acquired in 2017 by real estate development company Wheelock Communities.

(W&OD) The Washington and Old Dominion trail, which runs through Reston, is a 45-kilometer (72 km) track built exclusively for walking and cycling along the former W&OD train line.

Toro Lake at Sunset

Reston has four artificial lakes: Anne Lake, Audubon Lake, Newport Lake and Toro Lake. Also in the Reston area is the 476-acre (1.9 km ² ) Lake Fairfax Park, operated by Fairfax County and which includes boat rentals, a large outdoor pool complex called “Water Mine”, overnight campground facilities, and a picnic area.

The 30-acre (120,000 m2) Roera Zoofary is located on the northeast edge of the village. It focuses on animal family interaction with bus rides and feeding stations. Animals include lambs, camels, zebras, antelopes, bison, cheetahs, emus, camels, goats, reptiles, horses, buffalo and waterfowl. On March 8, 2021, Zofari Roera was hit by a fire in the barn area, killing Waffles the giraffe and his unnamed companion giraffe.

Reston has a range of pools, including a year-round indoor pool at the Reston Community Center. Ice skating is available year-round at the private indoor SkateQuest skating rink, and during the winter at the outdoor skating rink at the Reston Center Pavilion.

Performing arts, galleries and museums

Reston has several performing arts groups. The Reston Community Players (originally known as the Reston Players) have been active since 1966 and perform on the center stage of the Reston Community Center at Hunters Woods Plaza. The Reston Chorale was founded in the late 1960s as a mixed choir that included both professional and amateur singers. The Reston Community Orchestra, founded in 1988, also offers regular performances throughout the year, typically at the Reston Community Center. During the summer, free public concerts are offered both in downtown Reston and at the Lake Anne Plaza Hotel.

The Greater Reston Center for the Arts (GRACE), founded by local artists, is located in downtown Reston and sponsors the annual Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival. The Reston Private Art Gallery at Ann Plaza Lake has both regular art exhibitions and art studio space.

Reston’s only museum, the Reston Historical Foundation and Museum, is also located in Lake Ann Plaza. It has maps, photographs and books that detail Reston from 1960s.
