My husband and I don’t get to work the normal 9-5 schedule. We work late evenings and every weekend but it seems that none of the daycare centers stay open past 6:30 and they are closed on weekends. This doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know many people who work 9-5. So, I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that has a better schedule? My husband and I have a place on hold but again it’s M-F 6:30am to 6:30 pm and we may only need the center 1 or 2 days during the week and they don’t do part time so we have to pay the full time price of $149 a week!!!!!!!! I am trying to find a place close to Atlantic Blvd and Baymeadows Way, if possible.

Have you considered a home provider? Many people keep children in their home. They’re licensed by the state and might be just what you’re looking for. I tried this for my daughter but was unable to get in, they were all so popular. The city of Jacksonville has a GREAT childcare referral service, and it’s free:

Hi there, My name is J. S., How is the daycare hunt coming along?? What I can tell you from driving around and calling is that I haven’t found one yet. I know from running my own daycare that most do not want to do late nights and especially weekends. I had so many parents ask for those hours. If you need a babysitter I still watch children in my home any hour and any day of the week. Give me a call at ###-###-####, maybe we can meet up if your interest. Have a great day.

I’m not sure if you just want your child in a daycare, or if you would consider home care. But I thought I would write just in case we could work it out. I am a preschool teacher. I just had a baby and want to stay home, so I want to keep 2 kids in my home. I’m not sure about your schedule, but maybe it could work out. I live off of Atlantic and Kernan. I was planning on starting the week of April 10th. If you may be interested and would like to talk about it let me know.

Best Dog Boarding And Daycare Options In Salt Lake City — Dog Friendly SLC

Choosing a doggy daycare or place to board your pet can be overwhelming. It’s a big decision that no dog-parent will take lightly, so we’ve done the digging for you on the best doggy daycares and boarding facilities in Salt Lake City. 

As a dog owner in Salt Lake, you’re in luck, nearly every boarding facility is highly rated. And no matter your location, you’ll be able to find somewhere conveniently located for you and your dog, making drop-off and pick-up a breeze. Choosing a reliable daycare that your pet is used to attending can save you from being stuck in a pinch if there is ever an emergency or sudden change of plans. 

Here at Dog Friendly SLC, we’ve evaluated pricing, features, hours, reviews and social media presence of dog boarding and doggy daycare facilities in SLC to help guide you in your decision, but at the end of the day, you know what is best for your dog.

How To Choose The Best Boarding Facility For Your Dog

It may take time for your dog to get used to being cared for by others in a foreign location, to help your pup adjust it’s best to start getting them acclimated as puppies by taking them a few times per week to get them socialized. Your dog will start looking forward to seeing staff and other dog friends in no time. Most daycares and boarding facilities offer a free trial day or half-day, but remember it can also take a few weeks to get in for an evaluation, that’s why establishing a relationship sooner rather than later will you help you out in the long run. 

Like most businesses right now, Salt Lake’s dog facilities are experiencing hardship due to the labor shortage and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so just remember to be understanding and kind as you navigate this new adventure with your dog.

Determine What’s Important to You

There will be pros and cons to any dog boarding facility, so it can help to make a list of what is important to you. What is your budget? Which facilities are closest to your home or normal travel routes? What offerings, like live cameras, kennel vs. playtime, staff ratios, are most important to you? Answering these questions can help you narrow down your options for dog boarding and daycare in Salt Lake.

Set a Realistic Budget

Okay, let’s talk budget. Most dog boarding in Salt Lake averages $40 per night while a full day of daycare averages $27. Almost every facility offers discounts on bulk packages. We will give exact prices in our rundown below, but it’s good to know what to expect.

As you evaluate your budget, think about how many days per week or month you’d like to take your dog to daycare. Are you taking them for socialization rather than necessary care? In that case, maybe you could do a few days per week to save some money. 

If you’re looking for boarding, it can help to factor the cost of pet care into your vacation or trip planning budget, then you know exactly what to expect and will already have it budgeted for.

Ask for Recommendations

Asking for recommendations from friends, vets or neighbors can provide amazing insight from fellow dog owners. It’s also worth asking any dog Facebook groups you a part of, here’s ours.

Conduct Research

Next, start your online research. We find Google Reviews to be the most thorough. Keep in mind that every place will have negative and positive reviews because every dog and owner’s needs are different, that’s why it is important to make your decision based on what’s best for your situation. 

If location is a factor for you, begin by researching the facilities closest to you and start scheduling tours.

Take a Tour

Once you’ve narrowed your options down, you should tour some of the facilities you liked best based on reviews and your pros and cons list. Here are some important questions to ask on your tour.

• How much free time versus kennel time will my dog have?

• What is the maximum amount of dogs you board at one time? 

• How do you handle disputes between dogs?

• What kind of updates can I expect while my dog is with you?

• How far in advance do you typically book out?

• How many hours per day are staff on-site?

Getting answers to these questions can help make sure you will have peace of mind and your dog’s needs will be met at your boarding facility of choice.  

 In addition, most facilities require a temperament test day for both boarding and daycare. But even if they don’t, it’s a good idea to do one just to make sure your dog will be OK with such a high level of socialization. Usually, the temperament tests are free and last for about half a day, though you may have to pay a small fee and some doggy daycare facilities.

And last, it’s ok if you need to try multiple facilities before finding the right fit. In fact, it’s probably a good idea to try multiple so you know you’ve found the best fit for your pet.

“Tomorrow will be better than yesterday.” Evening Chelyabinsk.

If this man fulfilled his youthful dream, perhaps there would be 75 Egyptian pyramids or two Arkaims in the world. But the appearance of Chelyabinsk would have undergone significant changes, and not for the better. Every man in his life must build a house … Our today’s hero completed the plan for ten. Eduard Kireev, General Director of PSK Stroygrad LLC, will talk about the spirit of the time, the specifics of the names and the creative power of construction.

From the file “HF”

Eduard Kireev, director of PSK Stroygrad LLC

– Born April 19, 1968.
– Graduated from Chelyabinsk State University, Faculty of History; South Ural State University, Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
– Married with two sons and a daughter.

Luggage of knowledge

— First of all, Eduard, tell us how you came to this position?

— I graduated from ChelGU Faculty of History at 1991 year. This is a completely crazy time when something has already been destroyed, and something has not yet been built, or rather, nothing has been built.

After graduation, I was assigned to work as a teacher at a technical school. Having lasted exactly one session there, I realized that it would be hard to live on a teacher’s salary, and ended up as a public utilities engineer in the Central District of Chelyabinsk.

Andrei Yurievich Vinogradov, who at that time was the deputy head of the administration, gave me a powerful impetus and taught me a lot. After some time, we created a beautification service, I headed it.

We were allocated money from the budget, and having purchased equipment – tractors, loaders, etc. – we improved the area. They took out the garbage, snow in winter, paved the roads, made parking lots.

Work, of course, creative, but it was not a business, but work for the municipality. For a 24-year-old man, it was also a good school: work seven days a week, in almost any weather, if it snowed in winter, they removed it for days …

Later, I felt the need for a second higher education, closer to my work – in the construction industry. Having received it, I realized that it was time to open my own small business.

And since 2000 I have been in this area, of course, creative – when you look at the house you built, it’s easy on the soul. Although there are difficulties: it is difficult to communicate with the customer, and with the inspection authorities, and with the curators, and with the Technical Supervision…

The biggest problem of the construction site is personnel. They really do decide everything. Young people do not want to work as builders, because it is physically difficult and it is also necessary to think while doing masonry or pouring the foundation.

This is a huge responsibility. It is not always legal to hire visitors from near and far abroad. In general, this is how I ended up in construction.

The house that Ed will build

– Does your chest tingle when you pass by “their” houses?

– Of course, you do. I always show my children – I have three of them – and say: “Children, look how your dad built …” So the children know all our objects in the city. Firstly, because there are not so many of them.

And secondly, because I’m proud of them all (buildings, although children, most likely, too. – Auth.). Especially the building of the television studio of the TRK “Petersburg-Fifth Channel” on Kirovka. This was our first experience in building a TV studio. Hopefully not the last.

— Tell us about your building dream! Would you like to do something for yourself?

— For the sake of my soul, I would like to build a small popular town — there is something similar in Izmailovsky Park in Moscow. A stylized, comfortable Russian village, where everyone would have their own house, a piece of land, even a cow – if desired, of course. I would love to live there.

History of archeology

— Why did you enter the history department? Dreamed of archeology?

— It was a dream. I read a lot of historical literature. I knew the humanitarian subjects perfectly, but in the exact sciences I had a B with a stretch. The absence of mathematics, physics, and sopromat at this faculty played its role.

And the interest in history was enormous. I thought that by graduating from the history department, you get a start in life. In 1985, we were taken to an introductory practice on the river Sinteshta in the Bredinsky district.

We lived in tents, dug, went to the sauna in the neighboring village – such was the romance. And the next year, next to these excavations, Arkaim was discovered. At that time I went into the army and Arkaim no longer dug.

— Now your youthful passion for history somehow backfires?

— Yes, every year I honestly plan to go to Arkaim, I promise the children. But then it turns out that it is necessary to take them to the sea or show them the beauties of St. Petersburg … In general, Arkaim has been postponed for three years already. But the passion is not gone!

I read relevant literature, communicate with fellow students who have remained in the profession. In general, a deep knowledge of history helps both in life and in work.

My function as a leader is not only to build a house correctly, but also to organize the process, set the task correctly, communicate competently and adequately with completely different people. In this sense, the amount of humanitarian knowledge was very useful to me.

– Most Chelyabinsk construction companies are called “Stroiremmontazh” or “Montazhremstroy” and other variations of the same abbreviations. Such a tradition?

– When our company was created, I thought about the name. “Grad” is an old Russian city. Such an abstract city that needs to be built is in every builder’s head. Hence the name.

Then the Stroygrad magazine appeared, and then another company with the same name. Suddenly there were three “Stroygrad”. And the monotony of the names is understandable: you have to position yourself on the market, if I were selling something, I would call the company “Prodstroy” or something like that…

About the day to day

— As a builder, do you like the appearance of Chelyabinsk?

— The city is getting better and better. New office skyscrapers, in my opinion, harmoniously fit into the existing landscape. The Northwest is growing.

I think that in its development Chelyabinsk is not far behind Yekaterinburg. There are fewer traffic jams. Another would be to solve the environmental problem!

— There are “Khrushchevs”, “Stalinist houses”, but what will the buildings built now be called in 50 years?

— This is not an easy question — it is necessary to practically characterize the epoch. Khrushchev, Stalin – these are characteristics by type. “Khrushchev” – tiny apartments with low ceilings and adjoining rooms; “Stalinki” – on the contrary, ceilings under three meters, a large kitchen and a hallway …

From the end of the eighties to the end of the nineties, the same panel houses were built, I think they will continue to be “panels”. This is such a transitional period between what was and what has become now – a ladder from socialism to capitalism.

The houses that are built in our time according to individual projects, in 50 years will be called … well, definitely not “Yeltsin’s”, not “Putin’s” and not “Medvedev’s”.

This will not be connected with the presidents. Maybe with the time of construction – “two thousandth”, for example. Difficult to combine – these buildings are too different in type.

In the future

— What would you like to build in the next 20 years?

— Ambitious plans — to rebuild the whole city, for example — I don’t have. There is healthy competition in this market in Chelyabinsk. I would like to keep my niche, expand it.

By the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of my construction biography, I plan to build a building that would be remembered not only for its size and height, but also for the fact that I built it.

Now we are considering some projects – buildings in the city center… This is interesting, but so far only in the plans. In general, I don’t look so far – in 20 years. Maybe in two years I will get tired and change my field of activity! And that’s it.

— How do you spend your leisure time?

– I’m having an interesting time! Be sure to visit all the festivals of skiing. In general, I love sports. A couple of times a week we go out with friends to play basketball — we argue, we swear, we rejoice…

I like to go to the pool with my family. For leisure, unfortunately, there is little time left, but I definitely spend the weekend with my family.

— What is your life credo?

— I believe that tomorrow will always be better than yesterday.
