AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Hillsboro Knowledge Beginnings Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Kindergarten Programs (5–6 Years)

Welcome to kindergarten: the gateway to grade school and everything that
comes next! Offered in select centers, our kindergarten programs have small
class sizes and curriculums that mix learning and fun.  The basic building
blocks of reading, writing, math, and science are key in kindergarten, so we
make sure they get lots of practice in all of these areas.

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)

You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

• “

  My son has been with Knowledge Beginnings since he was nine weeks old. There is no other place I trust more with the care of my child. From the teachers in the classroom to the management team, everyone has been more than accommodating to our family situation. Ms. Judi and Ms. Kristie are fabulous with the babies, they are loving and nurturing. Ms. Heather has been incredible. She has done so much for our family. She worked with my son’s quirks and provided a creative atmosphere where my son can thrive. Also, she is great with the children in the phonics learning adventures. My son is now writing his name and letters, knows how to count to 20 and can carry on a conversation that goes beyond a child of his age. I have been very pleased.

  Not to mention the management team, Mrs. Shawna bends over backwards to make everyone feel comfortable and works with each family situation. Mrs. Kristen greets every child with a hug and “I love you” which always makes you feel good when in her presence. Overall,there is no other place I would trust. They are family and make sure that our family knows that.

25 years ago Hillsborough Stadium Tragedy – Total LFC – Blogs

April 15, 1989 was the most horrendous of all tragedies in the history of English football. 94 Liverpool fans were crushed to death at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough Stadium during their FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. Two more victims died later.

The terrible events that took place at Hillsborough were the result of a whole series of gross mistakes made by unprofessional police officers who were unable to cope with a crowd of thoroughly drunk fans. The match was supposed to start at three o’clock in the afternoon, and its organizers, given the poor throughput of the stadium turnstiles, asked the fans of the teams meeting to come up early. However, their request was not heard. Moreover, when ten minutes remained before the game, along with the fans who had tickets in their hands, about four thousand of those who wanted to break into football for free pulled up to the arena.

As a result, an unprecedented number of people gathered in front of the turnstiles, stowaways were turned back, they prevented others from passing through the control. The match had already begun, and there were many empty seats in the stands intended for Liverpool fans. People outside the stadium started chanting “We want football!” and attacked those who stood before them. The first signs of a crush appeared. And then one of the senior police officers made a fatal decision. “Does everyone have tickets?” he asked. “Pick them up!” When the fans complied with his demand, he, considering that there were few stowaways in the general mass, ordered his subordinates to open the gate and let everyone in without checking.

At the same second the starting whistle of the referee blew. The fans who were outside rushed to the central sector of the stand and pressed those who had settled there a long time ago to the grate separating the spectators from the field. The police did not react immediately: it seemed to her that the fans decided to take the rows closer to the lawn. The game continued, and people died from suffocation on the podium. Only in the sixth minute, suspecting something was wrong, the guards gave the referee a command to stop the match.

If only it ended there! Alas, there were still a lot of fans outside the stadium, who, unaware of what was going on ahead, complicated the situation with their aggressive behavior. In addition, all the seats on the podium were standing, and tickets, respectively, were entrance tickets. So from the point of view of the police, the situation looked absurd. They refused to understand how there could be a crush on the podium, on the sides of which, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe corner flags, there is a lot of free space. But the thing was that everyone was trying to squeeze into a more convenient central sector for watching the game. Considering that due to the mass of free riders, the number of fans significantly exceeded the allowable norms, those who arrived early were trapped.

The situation could be defuse by the stewards, who had to control the influx of people and, as one sector filled up, transfer fans to others. However, this was not done. Why? The question remained unanswered. Then the stewards claimed that they were doing their job, but the drunken crowd did not listen to them. The fans, on the other hand, stated that they did not see anyone and went where they saw fit. After the match was stopped, still not understanding what was happening, the police made a second mistake. Attempts by the fans to climb onto the bars and save their lives, they interpreted as an organized breakthrough on the field, and began to drive the fans back with batons. The law enforcement officers still did not understand how a crush could arise on an incompletely filled podium. After a couple of minutes, some of the ordinary policemen who were close to the epicenter realized what was happening and began to help the fans. However, the officers, located at a distance of at least fifty meters, gave the third erroneous command: everyone move away from the bars, take up defense and not let anyone through. They still thought that Liverpool fans were climbing onto the field just to run to the opposite stand and start a fight with Nottingham Forest fans!

The already critical situation was aggravated by the lack of sufficient medical personnel and stretchers at the stadium. Fans, desperate to get help, broke out billboards, put their crippled comrades on them and tried to at least drag them to the center of the field, and the policemen who lined up in a row, following the order, beat the fans with truncheons. 94 fans died right at the stadium: the youngest of them was ten years old. Another 766 were injured, about three hundred of them were taken to the hospital. Four days later, the mournful list was replenished with one more deceased, and on March 1993 years “Hillsborough” took his last victim: Tony Bland died, all this time he did not come out of a coma… The police justified themselves by the fact that if they had not let people into the stands, there would have been much more victims – at the entrance to the stadium. In addition, many of them gave false testimony, tried to shield each other. The trial lasted several years, until the main defendant – the officer who gave the command to open the gate – was released from liability for health reasons. But the tragedy could not have happened at all if the police, seeing that they did not have time to carry out a pass for the fans to the stadium, would only ask to postpone the start of the match. ..

However, the British authorities learned some fundamental lessons from the events at Hillsborough. Firstly, the English government obliged the clubs to abandon the so-called terraces, equip their stadiums with seats and sell tickets only with the indication of the row and seat. And, secondly, it was decided to remove the fences separating the stands from the field, because under certain circumstances they posed a threat to the lives of the fans.

Only 23 years later, on September 12, 2012, the report of an independent commission of inquiry into the circumstances of the tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium, which led to the death of 96 people. And the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, James Cameron, on behalf of the Government, apologized to the families of the victims.

Eternal memory to the dead …

Hillsborough Stadium Crush | it’s.

.. What is Hillsborough Stadium Crush?

Memorial to those who died

Hillsborough Tragedy stampede on 15 April 1989 years, resulting in the death of 96 Liverpool fans (766 were injured) at the FA Cup semi-final match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. The events took place at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield.

Course of events

The semi-final cup match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool was scheduled for 15:00. Taking into account the increased interest in the game and the poor throughput of the turnstiles at Hillsborough Stadium, the organizers turned to the club’s fans with a request to come to the stadium in advance, which still did not help to save the situation. Moreover, when about ten minutes remained before the start of the game, along with the fans who had tickets, about four thousand of those who were still left without tickets gathered at the stadium.

As a result, a large number of people gathered in front of the turnstiles. The first signs of a crush appeared. At this point, Chief Superindent of Police David Duckenfield, the stadium security commander, asked through subordinates: “Does everyone have tickets? – Pick them up!” When the fans complied with his demand, the officer, considering that there were few stowaways in the general mass, ordered his subordinates to open the gate and let everyone in without checking. The spectators, already seated on the practically filled tribune, turned out to be locked with fences on three sides and a surging crowd on the fourth. People standing in the front rows and pressed against the metal fences began to suffocate.

At the 6th minute, the match was stopped, however, as a result of the illiterate actions of the police and stewards, who did not immediately understand the essence of what was happening, mistaking the attempts of the fans to get out of the crush for a hooligan desire to break into the field (a detachment of police officers with dogs were sent against those who tried to escape), a large number of victims could not be avoided. Pleas to open one of the fences to open the way for the dying people on the field, the police refused, because they could not do this without an order from Duckenfield.

At the scene of the tragedy, 93 people died, two more died a few days later, and four years later, a man died after spending all this time in a coma. More than seven hundred people were injured. The cousin of modern Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also died in the stampede. The number of victims and injured could have been much less if ambulances had been allowed into the stadium, but the police did not allow them. As a result, only one team ended up at the stadium – the rest of the victims were assisted by other Liverpool fans.

Four days after the tragedy, the tabloid newspaper The Sun published a front-page “sensational” report under the headline The Truth (“The Truth”), which stated that:

1. Drunken Liverpool fans are to blame for the deaths of the fans, who broke into the filled sector;
2. Liverpool fans urinated on policemen, firefighters, and also on the bodies of their dead comrades and looted, picking their pockets;
3. Fans beat up policemen who gave artificial respiration to victims.

Despite the fact that these allegations were refuted by documentary evidence, the editors refused to apologize. The struggle against the newspaper is still going on – on Merseyside, many people do not buy the newspaper on principle, despite the fact that it is very popular throughout the country.

Aftermath of the tragedy

As a result of this incident, the so-called Taylor Report was compiled, which analyzed the causes of the incident and made recommendations on how to avoid it in the future. Among other things, it was decided to remove bars and standing terraces from the stadiums.

A memorial to those killed in the stampede at the stadium was unveiled in Liverpool. Every year on 15 April, Anfield hosts a memorial service dedicated to the victims of the tragedy, in which players and team management take part. Every year the club makes every effort to ensure that the first, reserve and youth teams do not have to play matches on this day.

The twentieth anniversary of the tragedy was observed with a moment of silence in Liverpool, where more than 30,000 people gathered at the Anfield stadium, and in Nottingham’s town square. Mourning events in Sheffield were not held in agreement with the families of the victims. British Minister of Culture Andy Burnham addressed the people gathered at the annual service at Anfield, his speech, which mentioned the actions of the authorities during the tragedy, was met with indignation ^{[1] [2]} .

Calvin McKenzie and Steve Cohen

The editor-in-chief of The Sun in 1989, Calvin McKenzie, who allowed a lie about the tragedy to appear on the pages of the tabloid, was later forced to apologize to the families of the victims and Liverpool fans. However, he later said that he did this (apologised) only under pressure from Rupert Murdoch, a media magnate whose empire includes this newspaper.

American radio and TV presenter Steve Cohen, who works on the main US football radio show World Soccer Daily , several times blamed Liverpool fans for the tragedy. He first stated this in 2006, but later apologized for it. However, in 2009, he again made accusations against the fans. In this regard, on May 21, 2009, Liverpool Football Club issued an official condemnation of such comments ^[3] .

Hillsborough tragedy: remember, mourn – football.ua

On Saturday, April 15, 1989, Liverpool Football Club was supposed to play the semi-final match of the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest.

According to the regulations, such meetings take place on a neutral field. Sheffield Wednesday’s home ground, Hillsborough, was chosen as the “neutral”.

The game was already stopped at the 6th minute. The match was subsequently replayed at Old Trafford. But 96 people will never know that their team won the 1988-89 FA Cup. Because April 15, 1989 was the last day of their lives, and Hillsborough Neutral Field became the “home” of death…

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
According to the authorities, 96 people were run over by drunken Liverpool fans who arrived for the match without tickets. They broke through the police cordon, and the forces called upon to maintain order were forced to open the entrance to the podium.

From the point of view of the relatives of those who died at Hillsborough, minutes before the start of the game, the crowd of thousands in front of the stadium did not melt, but continued to grow. As a result, the police made the “strange” decision to open the gates to the already most crowded section of Leppings Lane. The people who were in the lower part of the stands were trapped: in front of them were the bars enclosing the field, crowds of fans were pushing behind them. A nightmare has begun. The whole world was circulated by frames depicting faces distorted by pain and horror, into which the bars of the bars dug. It was the worst tragedy in the history of English football.

96 people died. The youngest victim of Hillsborough was 10 years old, the oldest was 67. The average age of the dead was 24 years. Without exception, all of the victims were posthumously subjected to a medical blood alcohol test. Someone really wanted to prove that they themselves were to blame for their terrible death.

Only 14 out of 96 died in the hospital. 82 people died on Hillsborough. The official version indicated that their death occurred at 3.15 local time. The families of the Hillsborough victims, who conducted their own investigation, believe that many died later (between 3.30 and 4. 00). However, the version of events offered by the police suggested that after 3.15 it was too late to rescue anyone.

Only two of the 30 ambulances available at Hillsborough Stadium were allowed onto the field. If the victims had received qualified medical assistance in time, many lives could have been saved.

HOW THE TRUTH WAS CENSORED.
The established procedure provided that police officers who witnessed the tragedy at Hillsborough had to file reports about the incident. However, their testimonies were substantially redacted by superior officers before the testimonies were released to the public. Both individual sentences and entire pages were censored.

For example, proposals were completely eliminated in which the police reported their repeated requests, transmitted by radio to the decision-making center, to open the gate and let people out onto the field. Also, all “strong”, “emotionally colored” expressions were significantly corrected: the words “frantically screaming” were replaced with simply “screaming”. In addition, any reference to “panic” was omitted from the reports.

A few more comments, corrected or completely deleted from the testimony of ordinary “cops”:

“… some officers were absent from the field”
“… other officers were, but were in the same confusion as everyone else.”
“…missing instructions”
“… for all the time that I was on the field or near the stands, I did not see a single officer with a rank higher than a sergeant.”
“… Moving to the sector, I saw one policeman trying to open the gate and let people out on the field, but the inspector forbade him to do this. When he did open the gate, the fans just fell on the field.”
“…People were very aggressive because there was no hopeful information coming in. No one seemed to know or understand what was happening there. Everyone around the sector was in total confusion.” (Only the phrase remained from this: “People were very aggressive”).

All these “corrections” became known to the public during the subsequent trial. However, the judge did not see anything criminal in the fact that “emotions and their own, subjective assessments of what was happening were excluded from the statement of witnesses.” Many junior officers rightly believed that in this way superiors tried to protect themselves and avoid responsibility. But they didn’t want to say it out loud.

HILLSBORO FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP.
Hillsborough Family Support Group.
In November 1989, six months after the tragedy, the Hillsborough Family Support Group was formed. Its leader was Philip Hammond, who lost his 14-year-old son on Hillsborough. All these people want is to know the truth. They do not believe in the official decision of the court: “death by accident.” They do not respond to the phrases: “This will not return your loved ones” and “you will never know the truth, because no one knows it. ” They are sure that someone knows the truth, and someone should pay for hiding it.

WITNESSES.
… One of the schools in Sheffield has been turned into a makeshift morgue. The bodies lay in rows. Each body was photographed and numbered. The pictures were hung on the wall. If relatives recognized a loved one from a photograph, they were asked to identify the body. Frightened people, many of whom did not yet know about the death of loved ones, dreamed that the picture of their son or daughter would not end up in a nightmarish photo gallery. They believed they were entitled to sympathy. But the police officers who carried out the procedure treated them with undisguised contempt. Worst of all, all relatives were interrogated to find out if the dead drank. As if this was the cause of the tragedy.

TERI AND COLIN SEFTON. They lost their son Andrew, aged 23, on Hillsborough.

Teri: “When we identified the body of our son, the policeman asked me what pub Andrew stopped at on the way to Sheffield. does not smoke.” The cop turned to the officer, who asked me how old Andrew was. I replied: 23. “Well, yes,” said the officer, “tell me he was a virgin at all.”

DORIN AND LES JONES. Their 25-year-old son Richard died on Hillsborough.

Doreen: “The police were very aggressive. They were constantly pushing and shoving the relatives of the dead. Inside the school we saw a guy who monotonously beat his fist on the wall. Blood was dripping from his hand. Nobody paid any attention to it. Someone loudly shouted. When we identified the photograph, we were led to the body. I could not lift the blanket with which it was covered. The policeman said: “Can’t you control yourself?!” We identified Richard. I wanted to touch him, but the policemen pushed me away, saying that the body was the property of the coroner, and they immediately began to ask questions: “Did Richard drink on the way to Hillsborough, did he drink the night before, did he have a habit of drinking before matches, etc. “When the interrogation was over, the cop let me sign the protocol. Incredibly, Richard’s age was wrong, everything was wrong.”

EDDIE SPIRRITT, caught in the stampede on Hillsborough, was fighting for the life of his 14-year-old son Adam, who was already losing consciousness.

Eddie: “To my right, literally a few steps across the bars, there was a policeman. I screamed, literally yelled: “My son is dying!” I asked him to help, but he did nothing. I tried to lift Adam up, but I couldn’t. I hit the bars with my fist, but only hurt my hands.”

Eventually, Eddie passed out. He woke up in the hospital and never saw his son alive again.

CHRONICLE OF A TRAGEDY:

April 15, 1989 : Liverpool and Nottingham Forest play the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. Thousands of Liverpool fans are outside the stadium. 15 minutes before the start of the match, the police open the gates to the Leppings Lane sector and let everyone in without restrictions. Some of the fans on the podium find themselves between the bars and the constantly arriving stream of people. There is a terrible crush. According to the police report, it’s too late. Total death toll – 96 people.

August 1, 1989: An initial investigation into the causes of the tragedy leads to the blame being placed on the police, who were unable to control the situation. The decision to let the fans into the stands was called “a gross mistake of the first degree.” It is also stated that neither the number of supporters nor the degree of their intoxication caused the nightmare.

1991 : The longest trial in British legal history. It lasts 4 months. Verdict: Accidental death. The offended relatives of the victims vow to continue the investigation.

1996 : TV shows the Hillsborough documentary. The public again has questions about the role of the police in the tragedy. According to the filmmakers, the records of the so-called “security cameras” installed in the stadium were lost.
