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.
East Thornton KinderCare 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.
Interactive Kindergarten (5–6 Years)
Kindergarten is a critical year for young learners. Experienced KinderCare teachers will
tap into your child’s natural curiosity to help get them even more prepared for
elementary school. Our engaging lessons make the most of current technology while
offering plenty of hands-on play and exploration.
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.)
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.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.
Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
-
I wanted to take the time to express how much I have loved this center. I feel all of the teachers and staff are truly dedicated to the advancement of my daughter. I would especially like to recognize Ms. Melinda, Ms. Nessa and Ms. Laura. All of the teachers here are wonderful and these three went the extra mile to advance my daughter socially, emotionally and academically. They always took time out of their busy days to answer my questions and it show that they really care. My daughter is smart and socially capable because of this fabulous center! Thank you!
Missling Family – KinderCare Parent
-
We chose East Thornton KinderCare over other facilities based on the staff, curriculum, learning programs, and activities offered. Our daughter always enjoys her time at school and has flourished with her learning, friendships, and interests.
Martin Family – KinderCare Parent
-
When we first enrolled our four-year-old in the Phonics program, we weren’t sure what to expect, we just liked the idea of the additional focus on letter recognition and spelling for our child. She’s been in the program for just over six months and we’ve seen amazing results. Our child comes home and wants to write out entire words. She loves to work with her own flashcards and very soon she will be reading on her own! So if you wonder if the Phonics is worth the additional cost, we feel the answer is absolutely YES!

where to live well in St.
Petersburg
Nevsky district is deservedly considered a leader in redevelopment. In the past decade, much of its gray belt land has been re-evaluated by developers and has literally been given new life.
Today, on the site of former plants and factories along the Oktyabrskaya embankment, modern comfortable housing with excellent views is being built, as well as public spaces are being equipped, and the necessary infrastructure for life appears.
History of the place
The development of land on the right bank of the Neva began in the 1840s, from the moment the stationery factory was founded by entrepreneurs Alexander Vargunin and John Gobert, which was later given the name JSC “Bumaga”. In the 60s of the 19th century, the largest textile production in Russia settled in the neighborhood – the Thornton Woolen Products Partnership, later – Nevskaya Manufactory OJSC. Soon a whole industrial cluster was formed here from enterprises of various profiles, with residential quarters for workers and social infrastructure facilities.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the Kinovievsky ultramarine factory, founded by the industrialist Georgy Vega at the end of the 19th century. The enterprise was of great value – before its appearance, a bright blue synthetic dye, without which most paintwork could not do, was imported exclusively from abroad. The mansion of Georgy Vege, built in the eclectic style, was located right on the territory of the plant and had an extremely rich decorative finish of the interior, but over the years many elements of decoration were lost. From 19In 1999, the Vege house received the status of an object of cultural heritage of regional significance. At the moment, the Setl Group is implementing the Pulse Premier project on the territory of the plant, as part of which the mansion will be restored, and the area around it will turn into a public space and the center of attraction for the entire quarter.
World practice
Preservation and restoration of historical heritage sites during redevelopment is a world practice. So, in the district of Nordhavn in Copenhagen, a modern business quarter is now developing on the territory of the former port. At the same time, developers treat industrial architecture with care: instead of demolishing old buildings, they restore and renovate them, thus preserving the features of the industrial past. Another port – in Hamburg – began to change when the city authorities announced a competition for the renovation of the area. Today, this location is considered elite: there are residential complexes, shops, office centers, an embankment and a landmark object – the Elbe Philharmonic.

There are also many examples of redevelopment of areas of heavy and light industries (the Vulkan area in Oslo and the textile factory lands in Poblenou in the north-east of Barcelona), but locations near the water will always remain the most attractive to developers.
Today
It is no coincidence that Oktyabrskaya Embankment is one of the most promising places for building in the city, where the largest redevelopment projects are concentrated. According to Petersburg Real Estate (part of the Setl Group), 46% of apartments in the Nevsky district are bought in this location.
Among its clear advantages is a developed transport and social infrastructure. Two metro stations — Prospekt Bolshevikov and Ulitsa Dybenko — are within a 10-15 minute drive, the proximity of the Alexander Nevsky and Volodarsky bridges, as well as the Ring Road — to move anywhere in the city. Plus, the city plans to build the Big Smolensky Bridge, another crossing over the Neva, which will significantly relieve traffic. In addition, there are parks, educational, medical, sports and leisure facilities, large shopping centers. At the same time, each new project is built with its own rich infrastructure.
For example, the Pulse Premier residential complex from the Setl Group developer, which will be located south of the well-known Pulse on the Embankment complex, will have a variety of content – from schools and kindergartens to public space and a magnificent promenade. Thanks to this organization of the inner territory, you can safely send children for a walk or to school – the promenade does not intersect with highways. In the evening, you can walk to the embankment and watch the sunset over the Neva. However, most residents of the residential complex will be able to enjoy the beauty of the city without leaving their homes: thanks to the variable number of storeys and the well-thought-out location of the buildings, the project has many apartments with panoramic views.

The project will implement all the latest know-how of the developer: SetlKids playgrounds created together with psychologists with modern equipment for all ages, areas for classes SetlSport sports, based on the concept of harmonious physical development, the SetlHome system, which includes IP intercom and smart home elements. In addition, there will be such pleasant moments as a general house water filtration system, which provides for mechanical multi-stage cleaning using special filters and ultraviolet disinfection, as well as a new Nord Line finish. It is distinguished by a light, light design and modern solutions, for the implementation of which materials from trusted brands are used.

Thus, thanks to new construction, the once depressed areas are beginning to grow with modern social and commercial infrastructure. And the appearance of Pulse Premier on Oktyabrskaya Embankment fully confirms this. Each residential complex emphasizes the status of the place, increases its attractiveness for the buyer as a whole. It is no coincidence that, according to experts, in the coming years, the demand for apartments in this location will only grow.

On the afternoon of April 12, the Nevskaya Manufactory building caught fire on Oktyabrskaya Embankment in St. Petersburg. One of the firefighters died, two more were burned. These are people from the gas and smoke protection service – they were taking people out of the building when a sudden flash of fire near their group.
Photo: 78.mchs.gov.ru
The fire was assigned the maximum level of complexity, 225 people are involved in extinguishing it, but at 16:00 Moscow time, the fire has not yet been dealt with. While firefighters moved away from the building at a safe distance, because it could collapse at any moment. By the middle of the day, all the floors inside the building had already burned out and collapsed.
At about 1 pm, forty people were evacuated from the building, people were also taken out of the premises in the neighborhood. According to unconfirmed reports, even the nearest kindergarten was evacuated. The fire area is more than four thousand square meters, the embankment was blocked for the passage of cars, traffic jams are gathering around. Petersburgers say that the entire east of the city was shrouded in heavy smoke, and EMERCOM helicopters were seen even outside the city. A little later they arrived at the scene of the emergency. Water for extinguishing is taken from the Neva.
The burning six-storey brick building is the old industrial building of the former “Thälmann factory”, which used to be a weaving factory. In 2015, the factory became an object of cultural heritage of regional importance. In recent years, there have been rented premises. Production has been located here since the 1840s, it was founded by the English merchant James Thornton. After nationalization, the factory reopened at 1922, renaming the state production of woolen things “Red Weaver”. Production became “Nevsky Manufactory” after corporatization in 1992 – wool and cloth were still produced here. Partially profile production continued here until recently.
Residents of the Nevsky District sigh: “Oh, it was a beautiful building” – and doubt that anything will remain of it, after all, the building was built in the middle of the 19th century. Many put forward the version of arson: new housing was actively built around, the quarters literally “advancing” on the industrial monument. The townspeople believe that someone simply decided to “free up the territory” for development. It is remembered that a certain company even had a plan to develop these lands, but the city obliged to keep the old buildings as public spaces. Now the historical building, obviously, will sink into oblivion. At the same time, the Ministry of Emergency Situations officially announces the start of the fire at about 12.30, and local residents write that it smelled of burning already at noon.
Representatives of the district prosecutor’s office are already working on the fire, an inspection has begun. Due to the fact that there were many different tenants in the building, it is still difficult to say exactly where and why the fire started.

Four days later I had students on the tennis courts, and this work pleased me. (I wasn’t much of a tennis player. But there were a few tattered guides at the casino: Improve Your Tennis, Tennis for Beginners. Even the more respectable pursuits have an element of bluffing.) By the end of the week, phone calls and letters began to pour in. Among the first letters was a request to come in for negotiations at the “Nine Gables” – this visit led to complications, which will be discussed later; in another, I was asked to read aloud the works of Edith Wharton to an old lady who knew the writer when she lived in Newport, and so on. Phone calls were varied. I found out for the first time that every person who appeared before the general public is forced to enter into relations with those whom we lightly call “extremes.” An angry voice announced to me that I was a German spy and that “we are watching you.” Some woman urged me to study and preach Globo and thereby prepare the world for universal and lasting peace.
There were also more serious calls.
– Mr. North!. . Mrs. Denby’s secretary is talking to you. Mrs. Denby wonders if you could read aloud to her children on Thursdays from half past three to half past seven?
I immediately realized that it was the governess’s “party off.” My head was still slightly “circling”. I don’t know why, but in telephone conversations I am more frank, even rude, than in personal meetings. Partly, I think, the fact is that you can not look the interlocutor in the eye.
– May I ask how old Mrs Denby’s children are?
– How many?.. Well, six, eight and eleven.
– And what book does Mrs. Denby recommend reading aloud to them?
– It’s up to you, Mr. North.
– Thank Mrs. Denby and tell her that one child cannot be occupied with a book for more than forty minutes. I advise you to get them to play with matches.
– Oh!
Click
– Mr. North? This is Mrs. Hugh Cowperthwaite speaking to you. I am Mr. Eldon Craig’s daughter.
She paused to let me fully appreciate the honor done me. I could never remember the source of my employers’ wealth. And I don’t remember now whether Mr. Craig was famous for getting half a dollar every time the refrigerator door slammed shut, or for getting a dime every time the butcher put in a new roll of wrapping paper.
Yes, madam.
– Father would like to know if you would undertake to read the Bible aloud to him… Yes, in its entirety. He read it eleven times and would like to know if you can read fast? .. You see, he would like to surpass his speed record – forty-eight hours, I think.
– I’ll think about it, Mrs. Cowperthwaite.
– If you are interested, he would like to know if you would agree to read… under… special conditions.
– On special terms?
– Yes… At a discount, so to speak.
– I understand. At my speed, it will be more than a hundred and fifty dollars. The amount, to be sure, is significant.
– Yes. My father also asked me to know…
– May I make an offer, madam?. . I am ready to read the Old Testament in Hebrew. Hebrew has no vowels; there – only the so-called “breathing”. This would cut the time by about seven hours. Fourteen dollars cheaper!
– But he won’t understand, Mr. North!
– Will he understand or not, what does it matter, Mrs. Cowperthwaite? Mr. Craig has heard it eleven times already. In Hebrew, he will hear the Lord’s own words as He dictated them to Moses and the prophets. Besides, I can read the New Testament in Greek. Greek is replete with silent digammas, enclitics, and prolegomena. Not a single superfluous word, and the price will be reduced to one hundred and forty dollars.
– But Father…
– Besides, in the New Testament I can read the words of our Lord in His native language, Aramaic! Very short, very concise. I will read the Sermon on the Mount in four minutes, sixty-one seconds, not a second more.
– But will this be considered a record?
– I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do, Mrs. Cowperthwaite. Your revered father’s intention is to please his creator. I offer you preferential terms: hundred and forty dollars!
– I have to stop this conversation, Mr. North.
– All right, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY!

So, a few days later I was already driving up and down the avenue like a messenger. Lessons. Readings. I liked the work (La Fontaine’s fables in Deer Park, Bishop Berkeley’s writings in The Nine Gables), but I soon discovered the well-known truth that the rich never pay – or pay occasionally. I sent invoices every two weeks, but for some reason even the friendliest employers didn’t notice them. I spent my savings and waited: but the dream of renting a separate apartment (which, of course, gave rise to other dreams) was pushed back into an indefinite future. Apart from a few late reading sessions, my evenings were free and I became restless. I looked into the taverns in Thames Street and Long Quay, but I had no desire to participate in these wild and poorly lit gatherings. Card games in the “X” lounges were allowed on the condition that money did not change hands, and I lost interest in playing without financial incentives. Finally I stumbled upon Herman’s billiard room, two long rooms with seven tables under strong lamps and a bar that sold liquor because it was Prohibition. If you brought strong drinks with you, it was overlooked, but for most players and myself, non-alcoholic beer was enough. The place was pleasant. Benches stretched along the walls on two levels for spectators and players waiting in line. Billiards is the sport of the concentrated, not the lively, and is accompanied by grunts, muffled curses, prayers, and occasional cries of triumph or despair. Herman’s regulars were workers from estates, drivers, a few salesmen, but mostly servants of one kind or another. Occasionally they offered me a cue. I introduced myself as a person who teaches tennis to beginners in a casino. I play billiards decently (I practiced for a long time in Alpha Delta Phi), but I noticed that they treat me colder and colder. I was about to find another billiard room, but I was rescued from ostracism by Henry Simmons, who took me under his protection.
What I don’t owe to Henry: friendship, acquaintance with his fiancée Edwina, the incomparable Edwina, Mrs. Cranston and her boarding house, and all that followed. Henry was a thin, forty-year-old English valet. His face, long, red and pockmarked, was enlivened by dark, attentive eyes. In his speech, purified by seven years in our country, echoes of earlier years sounded in merry moments – a language that pleased me, reminding me of characters of the same origin in the books of Dickens and Thackeray. He served with a well-known yachtsman and racing enthusiast whom he admired—I will call him Timothy Forrester. Mr. Forrester, like others of his class and generation, lent his yacht to (and participated in) scientific expeditions where the presence of a valet would be considered frivolous. Therefore, Henry remained alone in Newport for many months. This situation suited him perfectly, because the woman he was going to marry spent most of the year here. Henry always dressed in well-tailored black suits; only the bright vests betrayed his personal taste. He was a favorite in Herman’s billiard room: his quiet banter introduced an element of eccentricity, exoticism.
He must have been watching me for a while and guessed whose ad he was reading in the newspaper, because one evening, when I had been sitting on the bench for too long, he suddenly came up and said:
– Hey, Professor! I’m offering three sets of quarter dollars, huh?.. What’s your name, pal?.. Ted North? My name is Henry Simmons.
At the time we met, Henry was very unhappy. His master helped the expedition to photograph the birds of Tierra del Fuego, and Henry was weary of idleness; his fiancée was on some other journey, and he was suffering from separation. We played in relative silence. I was lucky all the time, or maybe Henry was hiding his art. When the game was over, the billiard room was already empty. He offered me a drink. The establishment kept a few crates of ale for him; I, as usual, ordered non-alcoholic.
– So who are you, Ted, and how are you doing? I’ll tell you who I am. I’m from London and haven’t been to school since I was twelve. I was a cleaner and swept the barbershop. Then he began to look up and learned this craft himself. Then he went into the servants and became “a gentleman with a gentleman.”
With his gentleman he came to our country, and at last became a valet to Forrester. He told me about his maid, Edwina, who accompanied the hostess and other ladies on the famous yacht. He showed me bright postcards sent from Jamaica, Trinidad, and the Bahamas, pitiful consolations.
I also told him about my life – Wisconsin, China, California, studies, work, Europe, war – and finally explained why I was in Newport. When I finished the story, we clinked glasses, which meant that we were now friends. It was the first of many games—and conversations. In the second or third, I asked him why the players were so reluctant to invite me. Because I’m a visitor?
– Man, in Newport, visitors are very suspicious. Do not trust, you understand me? There are different types that we do not need. Let’s pretend that I don’t know that you are a kind person. Clear? I will ask you questions. Mr North, have you been sent to Newport?
– How to understand this?
– Do you work for any organization? Were you sent here to work?
– I told you why I’m here.
– I’m asking you questions like it’s a game. Are you an owl?
– What?
– Well, detective?
I raised my hand as if taking an oath.
– I swear to God, Henry, I’ve never done anything like this in my life.
– When I read in the newspaper that you were giving Latin lessons, then everything became clear. No one has ever heard a detective speak Latin… Here’s the thing: there’s nothing wrong with this job; people make money anyway. When the season starts, they will be here apparently-invisibly. Another week here every evening a big ball. In honor of visiting celebrities and consumptive children, all that. Diamond necklaces. Insurance companies send their people. Dress up as waiters. Some of the hostesses invite them even under the guise of guests. Do not take your eyes off the sparklers. There are such nervous families that they have a detective sitting by the safe all night. Jealous husbands send detectives after their wives. A person like you comes to the city – he doesn’t know anyone, he doesn’t seem to need to live here. Maybe he’s a detective – or a thief. A decent detective first of all goes to report to the chief of police, so that everything is clear. But many do not go: they love secrecy very much. Be sure that you have not lived here for three days yet, and the boss has already been eyeing you. It’s good that you went to the casino and found an old record about yourself…
– No, it’s about a brother.
– Apparently, Bill Wentworth went to the boss and said that he trusted you.
– Thanks for the clarification, Henry. But here, at Herman’s, everything was decided by your trust.
– Herman also has detectives hanging around, but the one we don’t tolerate here is a detective who pretends not to be a detective. More than once it happened that detectives stole emeralds.
– What else was I considered to be?
– I’ll tell you step by step. Now you tell me something.
I told what I learned and concluded about the magnificent trees of Newport. I presented him with my theory of the “Nine Cities of Newport” (and Schlimann’s Troy).
– Oh, if only Edwina could hear you! Edwina loves information – and digesting theories from this information. She says people in Newport only talk about each other. Yes, she would love that, about the trees – and about the nine cities.
– I’ve only unearthed five so far.
– Well, maybe fifteen of them. You should talk about this with a friend of mine, Mrs. Cranston. I told her about you. She says she wants to meet you. It’s a special honor, professor, because she rarely makes exceptions: she only allows servants.
– I’m a servant, Henry!
– Let me ask you a question: do you enter these houses where you have lessons through the front door?
– Well… yes.
– Are you ever invited to lunch or dinner?
– Twice, but I never…
– You are not a servant. – I was silent. “Mrs. Cranston has heard a lot about you, but she says she would be very glad if I brought you.
Mrs. Cranston had a large establishment near Holy Trinity Church – three houses standing back to back, so it was only necessary to break through the walls to connect them. At the Newport summer colony there were almost a thousand servants, most of them “living”; Mrs. Cranston’s establishment was a temporary boarding house for many, and for a few, a permanent home. By the time of my first visit, most of the wealthy houses (called “cottages”) had not yet opened, but servants had been sent ahead to prepare them for the season. Some of the maids from the distant houses along Ocean Alley were afraid to spend the night alone. In addition, Mrs. Cranston hosted numerous “reserve servants” – free labor brought in on special occasions – but emphasized that she did not have an employment agency. Her home was a true gift for the Seventh City – for the elderly, for the temporarily unemployed, for the sudden layoffs (fairly, and more often unfairly), for the convalescents. The hall and the adjoining drawing-rooms near the antechamber served as a place for general meetings, and on Thursday and Sunday evenings they were packed to capacity. A little further away was the smoking room, where permitted beer and fruit waters were served, and where friends of the house—footmen, coachmen, and even cooks—gathered. Only guests were allowed into the dining room; even Henry didn’t go in.
In Mrs. Cranston’s establishment, decorum was strictly observed: not a single guest dared to utter an ugly word here, and even gossip about the owners was not supposed to overstep the bounds. Later, I was surprised to note that the stories of the legendary Newport – of the pompous pre-war life: the wars of socialites, the rudeness of famous housewives, the Babylonian luxury of masquerades – were not often remembered; everyone heard them. The last holiday seasons were also not complete without magnificent balls, without eccentricities, dramas and melodramas, but such incidents were mentioned only confidentially. Mrs. Cranston pointed out that it was unprofessional to discuss the private lives of those who feed us. She herself was present here every evening, but by no means sat in the center, ruling the conversation. She sat at one of the tables, preferring the company of one, two or three friends. She had a beautiful head, a noble hairstyle, an imposing figure, perfect eyesight and perfect hearing. She dressed in the fashion of the ladies in whose service she had spent her young years: a corset, black glass beads, half a dozen rustling skirts. Nothing gave her more pleasure than asking for advice in some difficult matter that required diplomacy and worldly wisdom, completely free from illusions. It is not difficult for me to imagine that she saved many perishing souls. She went through all the steps of the career ladder – from the dishwasher and cleaning lady to the maid. According to rumors – I dare not repeat them until many decades later – “Mr. Cranston” never existed (Cranston is a town next to Newport), and a very famous banker invested money in her business. Mrs. Cranston’s closest friend was the incomparable Edwina, who always occupied a room on the first floor with access to the garden. Edwina waited for the long overdue death of her alcoholic husband in distant London to celebrate her marriage to Henry Simmons. Some observers were clear about the benefits of her room with a separate exit to the garden: Henry could come and go as he pleased without causing a scandal.
It was Mrs. Cranston’s habit that all the ladies, except herself and Edwina, went out at a quarter to eleven, some to their upstairs rooms, some to their city dwellings. The gentlemen left at midnight. Henry was the hostess’s favorite, and in dealing with her showed old-fashioned courtesy. It was this last hour and a quarter that gave Henry (and our hostess) the most pleasure. The men usually stayed in the bar, but sometimes Mrs. Cranston was joined by a very old and relic-like Mr. Danforth, also an Englishman, who served – majestically, no doubt – as butler to the great houses of Baltimore and Newport. His memory was failing, but he was still invited from time to time to adorn the sideboard or hall with his presence.
It was at this hour that Henry introduced me to Mrs. Cranston.
– Mrs. Cranston, I want you to meet my friend Teddy North. He works in a casino and, in addition, reads aloud to ladies and gentlemen who are failing their eyesight.
– It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. North.
– Thank you, it’s a great honor for me, madam.
– As far as I know, Teddy has only one drawback – he does not interfere in other people’s affairs.
– I think that characterizes him well, Mr. Simmons.
– Mrs. Cranston, Henry flatters me. That was my intention, but even in my short time in Newport, I have found how difficult it is sometimes to avoid a situation that is beyond your control.
– Like one failed escape the other day, if I’m not mistaken?
It hit me like a thunderbolt. How could rumors about my little adventure get out? The hostess’s words were the first signal of how difficult it was in Newport to keep secret events that would have passed unnoticed in a big city. (After all, servants are praised for this, that they “prevent the slightest desire” of the owner; and this requires close and unremitting attention. Aquidnek is a small island, and the core of its Sixth City is small.)
– Madam, I can be forgiven for trying to help my friend and employer at the casino.
She lowered her head with a slight but benevolent smile.
– Mr. Simmons, you will excuse me if I ask you to go to the bar for two minutes: I want to tell Mr. North something important for him.
“Of course, madam,” said Henry with a satisfied look and left the room.
– Mr. North, our city has a great police force and a very smart police chief. They have to not only protect the values of some citizens, but also protect some citizens from themselves – and protect them from unwanted publicity. Regardless of what you were asked two and a half weeks ago, you have fulfilled the request very well. But you yourself know that it could end in disaster. If you again have such difficulties, I hope you will contact me. I happened to render services to the chief of police, and he, too, was attentive and helpful towards me and towards some of my guests. She touched my arm and added, “Won’t you forget?
– Of course, Mrs. Cranston. I am very grateful that you allow me to disturb you if the need arises.
– Mr. Simmons! Mr Simmons!
Yes, madam.
– Please sit down with us and let’s break the law a little. She tinkled her bell and gave the waiter a coded order. As a sign of the host’s location, we were served, if memory serves, a gin and soda. ‘Mr Simmons says you’ve got some ideas about trees in Newport and different parts of the city. It would be interesting to hear this directly from you.
I told you – Schliemann, Troy and so on. My division of Newport was, of course, not yet complete.
– Great! Wonderful! Thank you. Oh, how interesting it will be to listen to Edwina. Mr. North, I, like most of my guests upstairs, have lived for twenty years in the city where Bellevue Avenue is; but now I keep a boarding house in the last of your cities, and I am proud of it … Henry Simmons says that the gentlemen in Herman’s billiard room took you for a detective.
– Yes, madam, or some undesirable person. What exactly, he didn’t say.
– Madam, I didn’t want to overwhelm our friend in the first weeks. What do you think, is he strong enough and can you tell him that he was also mistaken for a zhigan or a mess?
– What a language you have, Henry Simmons! It’s called “gigolo”. Yes, I think he should be told everything. This may help him in the future.
– Patchkun, Teddy, is a newspaperman who is looking for dirt, a scandal hunter. In season they flock here like flies. They try to bribe servants to tell them everything. If they cannot find slops, they cook themselves. In England, the same thing – millions read about the vices of the rich and rejoice. “Duke’s daughter found in opium den. Read the details! And now Hollywood and movie stars. Most of the smugglers are women, but there are plenty of men as well. We want nothing to do with them, do we, Mrs. Cranston?
She sighed.
– It’s hard to blame them alone.
– Teddy is driving up and down the Avenue, he will also be probed. Haven’t you been approached yet, old man?
“No,” I said honestly. And I choked: they really “rolled up” to me, but I did not understand what was hidden under it. Flora Deeland! I will report on this later. It occurred to me that the Diary should be kept under lock and key: it already contained information that could not be found anywhere else.
– And the gigolo, Mr. Simmons?
– Excuse me, madam. I know you will forgive me if I give our young friend now one nickname, then another. So I’m used to it.
– And what are you going to call Mr. North now?
– Well, he has teeth, madam. They blind me. From time to time I will refer to him as “Nippers”.
There was nothing remarkable about my teeth. I have already explained that I lived for the first nine years in Wisconsin, the great dairy state, and that, among other things, he endows children with magnificent teeth. Henry was jealous for a reason. Children raised in central London often lack this advantage; he suffered with his teeth all the time.
– You see, old man, Herman’s people thought that you too? ..
– Gigolo.
– Thank you, madam. It’s French for a long-range hired dancer. Next month they will swarm like a plague or locusts – dowry hunters. You see, there are many heirs here, but there are no young people of their class. Nowadays, young people from good families go to Labrador with Dr. Grenfell – they carry condensed milk to the Eskimos; or, like my host, photographing birds at the South Pole; or going to a ranch in Wyoming to break legs. And some – to Long Island, where, they say, much more fun. What young man wants to have fun under the supervision of parents and relatives? Except for the Week of Sailing Regatta and the tennis tournament, you will not meet a single man under thirty here.
– No men under forty, Henry.
Thank you madam. And so, when the hostesses want to arrange a ball for their beautiful daughters, they call their dear friend the admiral at the naval base and ask him to send forty young people who can dance a waltz and one step and not stumble. Experience has taught them that punch is well diluted with pure spring water. And what else do they do – they invite, say, for a month guests from embassies in Washington – young earls, marquis, barons, who are climbing the first steps of the diplomatic ladder. Here’s the parsley! I came to your country, Nippers, as a “gentleman”, with one Honorable – the Earl’s sixth cousin. He got engaged to the daughter of Dr. Bosworth of the Nine Gables – the prettiest guy you’ve ever seen – but slept until noon. Fell asleep at dinner parties; He loved to eat, but could not stand the breaks between dishes. Even despite my tactful persuasion, I was an hour late to any place. His wife, energetic as a beehive, left him with a round millionaire – so they say at least … All that such a quick young man needs is a pleasant conversation, a pair of patent leather shoes, one letter of recommendation from some person – and all doors are open for him, including the casino. So we thought at first that you are also one of these.
Thank you, Henry.
– However, Mrs. Cranston, you and I would not give up on Mr. North if he found a pussy in copper mines or railroads, right?
– I don’t advise you, Mr. North.
– I have no such plans, Mrs. Cranston, but you may be wondering why you object?
– In marriage, whoever has a wallet has the reins, but a girl who has a lot of money thinks she has a lot of intelligence. I won’t say anything more. By the end of the summer, you will have accumulated your own observations.
I enjoyed these evening conversations very much. And if it sometimes seemed to me that I was Captain Lemuel Gulliver and, having been shipwrecked on the island of Aquidneck, I was going to study local customs and customs, then I could hardly have had better luck. Telescopes are often mounted on tripods. One of my mainstays was my daily visits to the Avenue; the other, experience and wisdom, which I shared with Mrs. Cranston; the third was yet to be found.
I was insincere when I promised Mrs. Cranston to call her if I got into a difficult or dangerous situation. By nature, I am an independent person, I prefer to keep my mouth shut and get out of my mistakes without outside help. Perhaps Mrs. Cranston soon found out that I was busy eight or nine hours a week at the Nine Gables, the “cottage,” where something interesting was definitely going on; perhaps she guessed that I was being sucked into the pool at George F. Granberry’s house under circumstances that could at any moment be a tasty morsel for the tabloids.
In a story related to my reading at the Wyckoffs, I had her help, and it was generous.
about the 1992 Olympics: Tikhonov was asked what kind of kindergarten he brought to the tournament

Two-time Olympic champion Vyacheslav Bykov shared his memories of the 1992 Olympics. The CIS team won gold medals at the tournament. “No one took us into account, it’s worth paying tribute to Viktor Vasilievich Tikhonov, who used this moment wisely. At one of the press conferences, he was asked what kind of kindergarten he brought to the tournament. However, all this only provoked us and additionally motivated us. We had to show who we really are, the coaching staff did a good psychological job.0005 I was entrusted with the role of captain? The captain was chosen by the coaching staff. I think they settled on my candidacy, because at the 1990 World Cup in Switzerland I already wore a patch. It was a big responsibility, but I was not afraid of it. Viktor Vasilyevich invited Andrey Khomutov and me to the Olympic team to pass on experience to the younger generation. It was a really important mission, but I have always been philosophical about the patch. Everyone in the squad should feel like leaders and captains,” Bykov said.0005
