• What do I do when I first arrive?

  Parents will sign their child in on the sign in/out sheet by writing the time they drop their child off in the allotted slot for the appropriate day of the week. Parents will also sign their child out when they arrive to pick up their child at the end of the day.

• What is the latest I can drop my child off?

  The 9:00 policy can be found in the Parent Policy Handbook, which states: “All children are to be in the center by 9:00 a.m. to begin the daily schedule. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a late fee of $1.00 per minute after 9:00 a.m.”

  This policy was set in place to create a school-like setting in our center. The center’s daily activities begin at 9:00.

  Children who arrive late not only miss out on planned activities but also disrupt the classrooms as we have to stop our activities and answer the door and adjust to the late arrival.

  We are aware that special circumstances may occur (doctor appointments, traffic, etc), which may cause parents/children to arrive after 9:00. These circumstances can be discussed with the director prior to arriving at the center after 9:00 a. m.

• Where can I park to drop off/pick up my child?

  Parents may park directly in front of the building as long as there is space available. Please do not block the street. The parking lot across the street is not Kidsville’s property. The owner of the lot has given me permission to allow my parents to park their cars in his lot during drop off and pick up times only.

  If you park your car in the lot during drop off and/or pick up times please use the “diagonal parking” method by the trees or the brick wall. Please leave the center lane open so cars can come in and out easily.

• What is your late pick up fee?

  Late pick fees are assessed when a child is picked up after his/her scheduled hours and pick-ups after 6:00 pm.

  The late pick up fee is $1.00 per minute (per child) that a parent is late.

• What should types of clothes should my child wear for daycare activities?

  Clothing for Play
  Our children learn through their play. Hands‐on play is essential to their education. For this reason, we ask that you send your children to school in clothing suitable for play. Sneakers, jeans, and casual shirts are ideal; anything that will not be ruined by crayons, markers, glue, paint, or dirt. All shoes should be appropriate for your child to play comfortably.

  If you bring your child to the center in clothing you do not want not get dirty or that may not be suitable for play, we encourage you to bring in clothes/shoes that can be kept in your child’s locker/cubby as “play clothes.”

  Jewelry
  Earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets accent your child’s wardrobe, but they present a health risk to your child as well as other children in the center. Also, when jewelry is lost during play it may cause your family distress. We encourage you not to send your child to the center wearing jewelry. This applies to ages 6 weeks to 4 years old.

  We are not responsible for any loss or breakage of personal items.

• Is my child permitted to bring a special toy from home?

  We encourage children not to bring toys from home. Children have a difficult time sharing with others, and it is even harder with their own special toys. If toys are brought, please note that they may be put away.

  Exceptions to this policy:

  • Toys may be brought for show and tell activities.
  • Before/After School children are permitted to bring electronic devices (these children are responsible for maintaining their belongings.)

  We are not responsible for any loss or breakage of personal items.

Pittsburgh. AK-27. Autobiography

Coach Konstantin’s Kindergarten. – Crazy goal of Kasparaitis. – Ivan Glinka. – The impoverished “Penguins”.

What was the reputation of Pittsburgh in the mid-90s? An eminent club that won the Stanley Cup in 1991 and 1992. A team with an attacking style, where people are not enslaved, they are not locked into strict schemes and defensive models. We can say that the Penguins are hockey Brazilians who play according to the principle: you score as much as you can, we – as much as we want. At least that was the case at the best of Pittsburgh, when Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, later Martin Straka, Robert Lang shone there …

I immediately liked

Pittsburgh. And my heart was relieved – a pleasant atmosphere in the club. From the very first days I felt confident, I started playing and scoring a lot. I began to enjoy hockey. A feeling that in recent years in the Ranger has begun to dull, fade from memory.

I was tied with Robert Lang, who used to play on the third line. We got it right all at once. We became friends, and the coaches began to use us together. The third forwards in the link alternated – Martin Straka came out periodically, sometimes he was replaced by Jaromir Jagr. There was a constant search, a change of triplets, without which the NHL teams cannot do.

Pittsburgh is a European club. Canadians and Americans almost did not play there, the bet was made on the Czechs and Russians. In the mid-90s, I remember, almost ten Russians played for the main team and the Penguins farm club. But the Czechs were recruited under Jagr. They even asked Jaromir who he would like to see in the team, whether it is worth taking this or that hockey player. It looks like Montreal general manager Bob Gainey called me in the summer of 2006 and asked what I thought about forward Sergei Samsonov. Then the “Canadians” signed a contract with him …

At that time, the Penguins were coached by Kevin Constantine. A very strange professional. He would have to work with school teams, and he headed the NHL club. He gathered all the guys after training and played some stupid clips for an hour, drumming common truths into us. It seems that no one is waiting for a person at home, and he simply has nothing to do in his free time. He asked us to fill out notebooks in which you need to answer questions like “What do I want to achieve this season”, “What are my goals in life” … The guys warned about such quirks of the coach. And when the occasion arose, I approached Konstantin and directly said: “Sorry, but I will not fill out any forms. Don’t even offer.” I have nothing to do? Some Kindergarten…

When the team got to the playoffs, Konstantin held meetings in his office – separately for forwards, defenders, goalkeepers. He had his favorite picture hanging over the table – a snowy Everest. The coach approached her, looked thoughtfully, and then turned and explained to the players: “Look, now we are at the foot of the mountain. We, like climbers who climb higher and higher, get used to the rarefied air. Sometimes they retreat, but in order to return to the base and collect provisions. And then they will climb up again to be at the very top and hoist the flag there.

Once Konstantin did something weird. Gave homework to the players to bring to the next training session those things that will be useful to them in the playoffs. And the guys brought golf balls – they say, we will carry with us as a warning that if we fly out of the playoffs, then we will only have to play golf. Or they took a small copy of the silver Stanley Cup from home – now, I already won one cup, now I want a second one for the set.

“And what did the Russians bring?” Konstantin exclaimed enthusiastically, who obviously liked this game. We said we took a tumbler. “And what does it mean?” the coach asked. “This is such a Russian doll that never falls. So we will be in the playoffs: they beat us, and we get up. Konstantin put all the toys in a backpack and began to put them on the table in the team’s locker room for inspiration. How did that affect Pittsburgh’s game? None, of course. Everyone tried to ignore such nonsense.

Despite the eccentricities, I did not go into conflict with the coach. It would only be to the detriment of me and the team. He gained patience, went to meetings with everyone, listened to “sermons”. And once there was an opportunity to get to know Konstantin better. We somehow talked about airplanes. The coach exclaimed: “What, are you into this too? And I have a hobby.” I immediately suggested: “Let’s fly after training. I’ll see you at the airport at three o’clock.”

We met, got into the cockpit. I buckle up, turn to Konstantin and wink at him with a grin: “Well, are you ready?” And only then I realized that it did not look very good from the outside. As if I found a reason to take out the evil on the coach, and now I will chat with him in the air, show who is the boss here. Konstantin sat puffed up the whole flight, very offended. It was evident that he was touched by my unintentional intonation. After some time, when we talked again, and the conversation went beyond hockey, I reminded the coach of that incident. And he admitted: “Yes, I was offended then. ” In this sense, it was hard to work with Konstantin. He is characterized by vindictiveness and even revenge.

… The 2000/01 season turned out to be the most productive for me not only in Pittsburgh, but in my career in general – I scored 95 (44+51) points. Somehow I scored three goals in two matches in a row, and the fans gave me the honorary nickname Mr. Hat-Trick … If this topic is developed, initially everyone called me Covey – in North America it is customary to abbreviate the surname to make it easier to pronounce. According to this principle, another Kovi (Ilya Kovalchuk), Ovi (Alexander Ovechkin), Hubby (Nikolai Khabibulin), Zubbi (Sergey Zubov) appeared. And in Pittsburgh they began to call me Commander. The nickname was invented by the equipment manager, he constantly exclaimed: “Hello, commander!” or “Oh, the commander has come!”. The nickname stuck in the team, others also began to call me that. I liked it, and even on the clubs I began to place the inscription “Commander”. It became the same my corporate nickname, like AK-27.

My game went on also because closer to the playoffs a link was created, where Lang played in the center, and Straka on the left. Prior to this, Martin Straka went out with Jagr. But when Mario Lemieux returned to big hockey, Straka was moved to us in the second three. I consider this link to be the best in my career. And in all votings, when I am asked to determine the symbolic five of partners on the site, I name Straka and Lang. We played well together, understood each other, like telepaths.

That same season, Pittsburgh and I made it to the playoff semi-finals. A lot of amazing things happened. We fight, for example, in the seventh match of the quarterfinals with Buffalo, whose gates are defended by Dominik Hasek. It comes to overtime, and here the decisive goal is scored by… defender Darius Kasparaitis. Look at his statistics, on average Darius scores goals a couple of times per season. He doesn’t even hit on goal. When he connects to the attack and reaches the blue line, everyone starts shouting to him: “Drop it! Drop it!” And Kasparaitis maintains an incomprehensible pause and spoils the moment. Therefore, no one gives him passes in attack. And then they gave it.

Darius hesitated – on the one hand, he should quit. On the other hand, I want to make a transfer to a partner. Kasparaitis awkwardly poked the puck, and it barely flew into the goal along an intricate trajectory like a canopy. Even Hasek did not expect this and moved to the far corner. And the puck dived into the near, between the bar and the skate of the goalkeeper who rushed back. Kasparaitis was stunned by such happiness. He accelerated, rushed to the ice and rode on his belly to the central circle, swinging his arms and legs like a pearl diver. Then a bunch of guys piled on him. And in the locker room they continued to “strangle” him, happily slapping Kasper on the shoulders. And then he boasted to his partners for a long time: “How many goals did you score during the season? Ten? And in the overtime of the seventh match of the playoffs, did you score against Hasek? That’s it, salaga!”

Then the team was already led by Ivan Glinka – God rest his soul, the coach crashed in a car accident a few years ago . .. He perfectly understood what to expect from me. Therefore, he gave complete freedom of action on the site: “Alexey, show your hockey and pay no attention to anything.”

You rarely see a European coach in the NHL. Even less often – a successful European. Glinka was just like that. Under him, the Penguins played lively, interestingly. True, in the semi-finals, we stumbled upon New Jersey’s reinforced concrete defense, with which there was little we could do. And the injuries hit us. The same Kasparaitis played with a broken foot. The skate did not fit on his swollen leg, and he asked to make an incision in the boot – he so wanted to return to the game. Our team weakened, Jagr was covered… And then there was a conflict between Glinka and Jaromir.

Before one of the matches, we heard someone talking in Czech in a raised voice in the hallway. You do not need to be seven spans in the forehead to understand who is swearing there. As I understand it, the friction between Glinka and Jagr began in the Czech national team, although they won the 1998 Olympics together. How, then, was Glinka appointed coach of Pittsburgh? Yes, it’s just that Jagr could no longer work with Konstantin – this mentor drove him crazy. And Jaromir decided that with a coach from the Czech Republic it would be better for him to play. In principle, Jagr himself was like a coach – he went to the team management and said that today he wants to go out on the ice with such and such partners, and tomorrow with others. Maybe Glinka at some point saw the game differently, and he and Yagr had a fight about it. Jaromir, on the other hand, has such a “wonderful” feature – if his game does not go well, everyone is to blame for this, including the coach, but not Jagr himself.

But Glinka had normal relations with other guys. Especially the coach got along with me and Lang on the basis of golf. Glinka was generally a terrible fan of this case. In the summer, when the opportunity arose, the three of us gathered and played this game. Imagine a picture. I sit behind the wheel of a car that moves around the golf course. And Glinka and Lang were located behind. Each in the hands of a thick cigarette and a cup of coffee. It is very rare to find such an informal relationship between a player and a coach.

… If in the 90s the Penguins were a formidable force, then the team had a financial crisis. Every year, Pittsburgh sold out the roster – Jagr, Straka, Lang left one after another, I was traded to the Ranger … Before the lockout, there was such a situation that the captain and co-owner of the club, Mario Lemieux, spoke like this: if the salary cap is not introduced, The Penguins simply won’t survive.

The reason for the financial insolvency lay in the fact that the club was forced to play in a very old small arena that did not bring enough box office. At one time, the municipality of the city of steelworkers (steel plants are located in Pittsburgh, and even the local American football team is called the Steelworkers) decided that stadiums needed to be rebuilt. As a result, baseball and American football arenas were reconstructed. And they decided not to touch the hockey palace – they say, the local “Igloo” (as the stadium in Pittsburgh is commonly called for its elongated dome shape, similar to an Eskimo tent) is still quite modern, the club has become a champion twice, and hockey players will manage. Didn’t get along. When the leadership of the “Penguins” appealed to the municipality, they were denied a petition – there is no money.

Hence all the problems. The team began to play worse. As a result, fewer people began to gather in the stands. There was talk that Pittsburgh might change its residence – leave for a rich city like Houston or Las Vegas, which is interested in an NHL team. It got to the point that one day the Penguins were declared bankrupt, and the league took the club for temporary maintenance. That is why Lemieux returned to hockey – if earlier 11-12 thousand fans went to matches, then full houses began to gather regularly with him …. Things are looking up for Pittsburgh right now. After the lockout, the financial capabilities of all teams leveled off. The “Penguins” now have a new owner, and there seems to be no talk of moving.

My parting with Pittsburgh was not easy. Even at the beginning of the season – 2002/03, it became clear that the team would not find the money to sign a new contract with me. The Penguins were forced to make a trade, and it took place on February 10, 2003, when I was posted in the Ranger. I know the Pittsburgh fans really didn’t want me to leave. But they kept warm. And when I returned to Pittsburgh with the Ranger or Montreal, they greeted me with applause. The guys I played with came up after the match and said: “You know, Covey, the situation in the team is not the same now. Miss you”. I was pleased. But what will you do? This is life: everything flows, everything changes. I hope the “Penguins” will again experience the best of times, already under the young leaders Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
