• THINGS TO KNOW
  

  The safety of your dog is our top priority. For that reason, we have a ZERO tolerance aggression policy. If your dog shows aggression toward any other dogs in the park, they will be removed from the daycare until you are able to get them at the end of your day, and will not be allowed back into the group daycare setting. You may still drop your dog off for boarding, but we will put them on solo walks and playtime for the safety of the other dogs in the facility. We understand that a group play environment is not good for each and every dog, which is why we offer solo walks and playtime for those that sometimes do not play well with others. Please note that there is an up-charge for solo boarding.

  All dogs MUST be up to date on all of their vaccinations before being allowed in to our facility. This includes rabies, distemper, kennel cough and a clean fecal float every 6 months.

  All dogs MUST wear a flat collar at all time while in the parks. If you bring your dog in without a flat collar, they will not be allowed in the park and may NOT STAY in the facility. If you use a training collar to pick your dog up and to drop them off, please provide a flat collar upon your arrival each morning. We will gladly put it on them for their time in the parks, and put the training collar back on when you pick them up at the end of the day.

  If your dog has loose stool for any reason, they will NOT be allowed into the play parks.

  We are not responsible for lost items. We do lots of laundry and cleaning everyday, and cannot be responsible for toys, treats, etc. that are brought in.

  Please note: Frontline must be applied at least 24 hours in advance of your dog coming into daycare, or else your dog will need to be walked for the day, and you will be charged the Solo Daycare rate of $56. In addition, Seresto collars must be removed before dogs enter the play park. We are not responsible for misplaced Seresto collars.

• TOURS
  

  All tours are scheduled weekdays between 12-2pm for the safety of our daycare and boarding clients. If you would like to see the facility, please give us a call and we will gladly schedule a time for you to come in for a walk through!

A garden with “flowers of life”: how institutions for the smallest appeared in the Russian Empire

Until the middle of the 19th century, the upbringing of small children fell entirely on the mother’s shoulders. Noblewomen, of course, could afford such a “whim” and willingly spent time with their offspring, and then passed them into the caring hands of governesses. It was much more difficult for women who were not from the privileged classes, forced to earn a living on their own. Heeding their requests, in 1837 the authorities of St. Petersburg opened the so-called daytime children’s rooms in the “House of Diligence”, where the kids spent time while their parents worked. However, a real kindergarten in Russia opened only in the 1860s, when the followers of the German teacher Friedrich Fröbel started talking about the fact that from a very early age, children should be carefully “grown”, like flowers. nine0003

Dispute over “God’s plants”

The founder of one of the first Russian kindergartens, Adelaida Simonovich, argued that the institution should not be a “polishing factory for pupils”, but a “garden for growing God’s plants”. However, the German name Kindergarten literally translates as “kindergarten”. At first, the educators were even called gardeners and called for raising children “in a natural way, like a sprout moves from bottom to top.” In fact, in the first kindergartens, they worked with children in much the same way as in later times: they played, taught basic skills, and took them for walks. nine0003

In 1863 Sofya Lyugebil’s kindergarten was opened on Vasilyevsky Island. The visit was paid, and only wealthy parents could afford it, so the original idea of ​​​​helping working women and the poor was somewhat lost. The pupils of the institution were from three to eight years old. In St. Petersburg, the innovation was first received with hostility: the surgeon Nikolai Pirogov, in his book “Questions of Life”, criticized the kindergarten and said that he himself would not want to spend the first years of his life in a place where everything is strictly regulated and aimed at suppressing freedom in the child. Other doctors supported their eminent colleague: from their arguments it followed that a kindergarten is an ideal breeding ground for diseases, that games with small details spoil eyesight, singing in a chorus – hearing, and developing activities – nerves. nine0003

To be fair, the doctors exaggerated a bit. At the dawn of the development of the kindergarten system, they did not have a special program. Classes were often held in nature, if, of course, the weather conditions allowed. They brought up not so much intellectually as morally – they taught prayers and church hymns. The child spent half a day in the kindergarten at best, but, as a rule, he was taken away earlier. In 1866, Adelaide Simonovich, mentioned above, opened another paid kindergarten, where a child could stay no more than four hours a day. Alas, three years later the kindergarten was closed due to lack of funds, but the experience gained allowed Simonovich to publish a book with sensible recommendations for education. Despite the protests of some public figures, the fashion for private kindergartens spread beyond the capital: they began to open in Irkutsk, Smolensk, Voronezh and other cities. nine0003

In the 1860s, a free kindergarten finally appeared. It was opened at the charitable Society of cheap apartments for the children of St. Petersburg workers. Those who could afford to contribute at least a little money for the development of the institution paid 10 kopecks a month if they wished. Representatives of the poorest strata had the right to send their children there free of charge. Preschoolers were taught to draw, make applications, weave from different materials. Another activity was observing natural phenomena (for example, rain or sunset) and birds that the child sees on the street. Over time, the number of free kindergartens increased significantly due to demand: they were organized by the Alexander Nevsky Temperance Society, the Society for the Benefit of Poor Women, the Agricultural Shelter and other organizations. By the beginning of the 20th century, a fashion for home kindergartens was born: moreover, parents of preschoolers often acted as educators here. Classes were often held in turn – at the home of each child from the group. Pupils and “employees” of such unusual kindergartens received free access to libraries and museums, and also acquired teaching aids at a big discount. nine0003

The longest time a child could spend in an orphanage. These institutions were created specifically for the needs of factory workers who were forced to spend all day at work. The nursery started working at 6 o’clock in the morning and closed around 8 o’clock in the evening. The children were fed four times a day: porridge for breakfast, soup and porridge for lunch and dinner, and tea with white bread for afternoon tea. The pupils were washed twice: immediately upon arrival and before leaving home. Walks were also carried out in two sets – one and a half hours in the morning and in the evening. In the remaining time, the children drew, sewed, knitted, memorized short texts. The nursery was always attended by medical staff: usually an experienced medical practitioner and a medical student. nine0003

By October 1917, there were 280 kindergartens on the territory of the Russian Empire for every taste: folk, home, private. Some of them prepared children for school, others simply helped pass the time usefully while waiting for their parents. In the Soviet state, the kindergarten, all the more, will not be perceived as a curiosity – the situation when both parents work and leave the child in the care of teachers will become the norm.
