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.

Yakima 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.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

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.

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.)

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

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.

Yakim Yanakov. The story of the wings. The person who defeated the 5th column. – Moscow Society of Greeks

In memory of our compatriot, Soviet and Russian commander, Lieutenant General of the Air Force Ya.I. Yanakov.

Yakim Ivanovich Yanakov passed away on June 22, 2017.

Air Force Lieutenant General Yakim Yanakov was born on June 10, 1943. For two years now, the Great Patriotic War has been going on, to which a good half of the Greeks of Tsalka who went to her home went and did not return to their homes.

Childhood in the high-mountainous Greek village of Gumbat in Trialeti, Georgia. Healthy genealogy, inherited from ancestors – peasants – the salt of the Earth. The patriarchal way of life – the main evidence of this is the fact that Yakim Yanakov knew only his native Greek to perfection until the 6th grade!

Of the many Greek villages in the Tsalka region, only four spoke the language of the distant ancestors of the Romani Greeks of Pontus: Santa, Kharaba, Tarson and his native Humbat. The mountains. Surreal dream flights, adolescent dreams of being likened to a proud mountain eagle slicing through the air with its wings (Song of Songs!), are given a completely realistic twist of fate. Tbilisi. His father takes him to a big city, thereby saving him from the patriarchal monotony of the provincial wilderness, from the reckless energy of mischievous village friends.

Tbilisi. Aeroclub. Yakimu 16. First parachute jump. The fear of heights was overcome by an even stronger sense of fear of “losing face”, a high sense of honor and dignity. “The worst thing is that I have never seen a plane, and then you still have to jump from it!”. … To the question of how his flying military biography developed in the presence of a direct character, he replies: “The truth under all circumstances will make its way, no matter what obstacles stand in the way.”

In 1965, the hero of the story is 22 years old, he already independently pilots the latest Su-7B jet fighter-bomber at that time. Why is this aircraft mentioned? Yes, because the combat training (double) version of this machine did not exist. It was possible to learn how to control it, to master the peculiarities of piloting only in the air, exposing oneself to high risk. Therefore, a flight on this heavy high-speed aircraft (without an instructor!) could only be performed by a truly courageous and competent pilot, able to control himself in a critical situation.

After an excellent graduation from the school, the young lieutenant Yanakov, as an instructor pilot, remained to teach the flying skills of young cadets. Later, in an interview, Yakim Ivanovich Yanakov will say that for him it has become a real school of life. Thousands of cadets found their dream, became cool military pilots, thanks to their mentor Yakim Yanakov.

Yakim Yanakov, a young pilot, started his aviation career on the Yak-18A aircraft, manufactured by Arsenyevskiy Progress. Much later, already being the first deputy director of Progress, Yakim Ivanovich would jokingly say that “whatever one may say, I have been connected with Progress since my youth . ..”.

A natural analytical mind, rational thinking, the ability to take risks, brilliant organizational skills and simple human decency – these are the main features that helped Yakim Yanakov become an officer-mentor of a new formation – highly professional, thinking outside the box, meeting the spirit of the times.

Anatoliy Bortnik “To the 75th anniversary of AAC “Progress”: in the sky and on the ground – in the name of the Motherland”. Newspaper “Business-Ars”

Yeisk Higher Aviation School (1965), Air Force Academy named after Gagarin (1972). Years of service in his native school, the post of head of the Higher Aviation School in Barnaul, from where, with the rank of major general (1987), he was transferred to the post of 1st deputy commander of the Air Force of the Volga-Ural District. Two years later, Yakim Yanakov became deputy head of military educational institutions of the USSR Air Force, and five years later – head of the Air Force Military Education Department and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Honored Military Pilot of the USSR, Candidate of Military Sciences. Highly professional pilot. Mastered dozens of types of aviation equipment, including MIG-29and SU-27. Ya.I.Yanakov is the leading developer of the basics for improving flight skills.

Ya.I.Yanakov is one of the few Greeks who managed to overcome the unspoken “residence requirement” that limited their career to the rank of colonel (like Admiral M.N. Khronopulo, General A.F. Vouraki), which existed in Soviet times. He, remember the legendary film “Officers”, belongs just to that caste of people in uniform, for which the categories “I have the honor”, “I serve the Fatherland” are filled with deep meaning.

Being already a general, he did not leave flying practice – the “extreme” aircraft that Ya.I. Yanakov mastered was the legendary Su-27 fighter.

During his service he had a chance to master the Yak-18, MiG-17, L-29, L-39, Su-7B, Su-17, MiG-21, MiG-23MLD, MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft, flying a total of 4500 hours. Performing the mandatory program, he made 30 parachute jumps. He was awarded the honorary title “Honored Pilot of the USSR”, has a number of state awards. Candidate of military sciences.

In 1998, Lieutenant General of Aviation, Honored Military Pilot of the USSR, holder of many government awards, Yakim Yanakov retired from the Russian Armed Forces due to age.

Leo Tolstoy once noticed that people’s actions are driven by vanity. Probably so. After all, we try to make any serious undertaking better than others, we strive to be noticed. But here’s the paradox – in the process of creation, the master, absorbed in work, does not feel a thirst for glory.

The process of creation itself brings him the highest satisfaction, the process of moving towards the intended goal. This process is already so important for him that it becomes the meaning of life. Such selfless people devoted to their work, including our compatriot Ya.I. Yanakov, always command respect.

And the assessment of his military, research, methodological and practical flight activities in the field of combat training of military pilots is a scientific degree – candidate of military sciences. The experience he gained while serving in the Armed Forces is in demand in production.
Since 2004, Ya.I.Yanakov has held the position of First Deputy Managing Director of the Arsenyev Airlines Progress, and behind his shoulders has a wealth of experience in managing aviation units and a serious flight practice. Due to the duty of his work, according to his character, Yakim Ivanovich constantly visits the divisions of the enterprise, delving into the course of the production process, which is why all the workers of our huge plant know him very well. Managers know his exactingness and tough temper, while workers and specialists know his ability to listen and get to the bottom of various production problems. Many are amazed by the fact that Yakim Ivanovich (who is respectfully called “general” at the plant behind his back) manages to keep in mind thousands of cases that take place at the enterprise, remembers the smallest details of production operations – and not only remembers, but also on time asks for deadlines.

Ya.I. Yanakov is a senior manager. He deeply and competently understands the problematic issues of production and always finds adequate ways to solve them. An excellent psychologist, he directs the efforts of the team towards the fulfillment of production tasks by personal example. This is that rare type of leader with whom there is always a desire to work, share painful problems, seek advice and help. This is a person who cares about the cause with his soul, – this is how Sergey Kharin, director of production, spoke about the first deputy.
Chief technologist Alexander Martekha was able to succinctly convey something very important: Yakim Ivanovich is an extraordinary personality. His enthusiasm, energy, incredible performance are the envy of many young professionals.

This is the highest mark – so many kind words addressed to one person.

Anatoliy Bortnik “To the 75th anniversary of AAC “Progress”: in the sky and on the ground – in the name of the Motherland”. Newspaper “Business-Ars”

In conclusion, I will add that the fate of our compatriot took place precisely because of his outstanding human and professional qualities. The Greek young man from the Greek village of the “Siberian” outback of Georgia, Yakim Yanakov, created his biography of an outstanding Soviet military leader in spite of all “instructions”, the “fifth column”, because in this story about a real person on his life path he had many good and worthy people who understood that this guy was a pilot from God.

Yakim Yanakov could have been a military commander on a larger scale. He could become the commander of the Air Force, one of the deputies of the Minister of Defense. In his spirit, he was a statesman, for whom the main thing in life is honor and the Motherland. His students achieved greater positions than their teacher, who for the rest of their lives remained an example for them – how to remain a man under any life circumstances, not to sell, there are such examples among the military leaders of Russia, the soul to the devil, not to exchange honor for 30 pieces of silver .

I was lucky to know General Yakim Yanakov. After our rare conversations, thoughts came to mind: “All is not lost yet. As long as there are such people in our country, it still has a chance to be a great power in every sense.”

Our conversation with Yakim Ivanovich was 10 years long (2002-2012).

Over the past 5 years, I have repeatedly tried to meet with him, asking for the assistance of his nephews Albert and Vasily, but in fact all the time Yakim Ivanovich was in the Far East, where he faithfully fulfilled his duty to Russia.

– Yakim Ivanovich, tell us how you found your dream?

– Remember the verses: “The Caucasus is under me. Alone in the heights
I stand above the snows at the edge of the rapids…
The eagle, rising from a distant peak,
Soars motionless along with me on a par…»

After all, I grew up in the Caucasus in the small Greek village of Gumbat in Trialeti, my childhood was spent in the mountains. It always seemed to me that these lines were written about me in some fantastic way – so precisely the poet conveyed what was happening in my soul. We ran into the mountains in the morning, barefoot, a loaf of bread in our pocket – and for the whole day. They fled to where the spirit is breathtaking from the insane heights and incomprehensible beauty of the universe. Just imagine: you are standing on top, and there, far below, a stunning panorama opens up – a majestic valley, cut by a silvery thread of the river, and far away, already in a haze, an icy mountain lake with a bright glare. And very close, almost touching, the eagle, sung by Alexander Pushkin, soars. Looking at him and far down, we delightedly felt the feeling of his flight. That’s when I fell ill with the sky.

– …Tell us about your ancestors, the history of their presence in Georgia.

– I began to ask my father about

who my grandfathers and great-grandfathers were quite late. My father, by that time an 80-year-old man,

behind whom was the work of an agronomist and even the chairman of a collective farm, sparingly told me: “Son, all your ancestors were simple illiterate peasants. Their roots are from the Kars region of Turkey.” According to the results of the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829years, during which the local Greek population

actively supported Russia of the same faith (Andrianopol peace treaty, 09/2/1829) the lands of Kars and Erzurum regions remained with Turkey, which forced the Greeks to ask for protection from Russia, from Tsar Nicholas 1st . That is how we came to these places. The king allocated gold for the acquisition of land for the Greeks. … And when the nationalists in Georgia clouded people’s brains in the early 1990s – they say that all this is ours, the Greeks raised documents – their ownership of these lands. But it was impossible to live in such conditions. People actually fled – some to Greece, some to Russia.

– … Tell us about your dream of becoming a military pilot.

– The dream of becoming a military pilot, of course, was supported by a vivid example of the legendary Kokkinaki brothers (Vladimir and Konstantin), Grigory Bakhchivandzhi. They were beacons for us Greek boys from the 1940s and 1950s. As schoolboys, we knew that they were Greeks and were terribly proud of it. I remember in 1960, in Tbilisi, at the funicular on the stands, where there were fresh newspapers, a portrait of Vladimir Kokkinaki in a high-altitude OGK suit.

– Did you know Vladimir Konstantinovich Kokkinaki?

– Alas, no. He had already left when I worked in the Mikoyanovsky and Yakovlevsky design bureaus. In the early 1990s, I took over the Ilyushin design bureau, where he used to be.

– … Pilot and military leader Yakim Yanakov was born in an flying club in Tbilisi?

– I think it is. I combined the 9th and 10th grades of the Tbilisi school with my studies at the flying club. The first parachute jump was made in tandem with a master of sports. With Yak-12. He fell out almost unconsciously – the fear of being afraid was stronger than fear. before the jump. The portrait of the legendary compatriot test pilot Vladimir Kokkinaki in Pravda put an end to the choice of fate. The expected call to the Yeysk Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots came unexpectedly. Having borrowed money, on the third shelf of the common carriage, I, a descendant of the Greeks of the freedom-loving Pontus, headed towards my fate. Shel 1961 years old The country gained space, the first space son of the earth, Yuri Gagarin. It’s warm outside. We were proud of the country and believed in the future.

– … Our Russian Fatherland, a guarantee of its national security, needs a powerful army, aviation and navy.

– Military aviation is an expensive but necessary pleasure. This is a matter of the national security of the Russian Fatherland (as well as the Greek Fatherland – approx. N.S.). … A serious test for aviation was the collapse of the Soviet Union. Science, technology. A combat fighter is 30-40 million dollars. Being left behind today means you can’t catch up tomorrow. And this means that others, for example, the United States of America, will dictate a lot to us …

– What does it mean to you to be Greek? In the army, this feeling does not “fall asleep”?

In the 1970s I studied at the Air Force Academy. I really wanted to read and understand Greek. I knew our Greek (Pontic dialect – approx. N.S.) perfectly – until the 6th grade I organically felt only in it! … A huge bookstore on Kalininsky Prospekt. It was a time when a junta of “black colonels” was in power in Greece. I am severely disappointed – in a large store there is not a single book, a textbook in Greek. … A call from one of my friends who served in Tashkent puts me in a state of euphoria: “Yakim, a Greek newspaper is being published here!” I wrote it out (“Neos Dromos” – approx. N.S.) and received it until the last moment of its existence. I knew that this, despite her belonging to the brotherly Communist Party of Greece (KKE), could harm my career. The watchful eye of the “organs”, for which the newspaper’s belonging to the Greek communists did not play the role of an indulgence. … So I drove piles of these newspapers to the garrisons, but I couldn’t really read! The Greek in me has never “fallen asleep”! For me, all the joys and sorrows of our Greek homeland are also mine.

– …A cautionary tale for all of us, for our youth.

– … So that this trouble does not happen! I was never ashamed of my nation, always written in Greek. … And that moved me. The mountains and my roots gave me a lot of health and energy. In no case should one lose the national face, originality in our multinational Russian state. And knowledge of the language is the most important attribute of national identity. … For our young people, additional opportunities for self-realization have appeared, because. in today’s Russia there are no such restrictions for persons of non-indigenous nationality, to which the Greeks belonged, that existed in the Soviet era of our history – they could not hold major government posts, etc.

So, I appeal to our Greek youth, go for it! In life and in the part of “being a Greek” – do not justify your Greek backwardness with “reasons”.

– Your wishes to the leaders of the Greek social movement.

– … 20 years ago, when I was the head of the garrison in Barnaul, I had the opportunity to meet my fellow tribesman – the head of the city of thermal power networks Dimitriadi. We talked, and for each of us it was spiritual and emotional nourishment. What am I getting at? … We must know each other, help each other. Societies, the Association should deal with this. To unite all Greeks, to represent the Greeks of Russia’s rights and interests. … In our Greek societies, their leaders should be the best of the best, who have the moral right to represent the Greeks at all levels. Our Greek leaders should be servants of the people, not their masters.

– When did General Yakim Yanakov meet his Moscow compatriots in person?

– … Around 1993-1994. Someone brought me to the Greek club on Sapunova 7. We all need a permanent platform for daily communication. Veterans and young people who, in an informal format of communication with older generations, will know better the history of our people, our ancestors – in all its dramatic manifestations. Ignorance of one’s roots is a betrayal of the memory of one’s fathers and grandfathers. He who does not know his past has lost the right to the future. This is a terrible tragedy – to be “Ivans who do not remember their relationship.” It is impossible to be happy outside your own people! This is Cain’s sin.

– … Most of the astronauts left the military aviation.

… Didn’t this dream captivate you in your youth?

– Some of them I have warm camaraderie relations with. With the great Soviet (Russian) cosmonaut, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, the savior of the Salyut-7 station Vladimir Dzhanibekov (then he was Krysin), we were friends, being cadets of the flight school. … As for the dream of becoming an astronaut. There were such thoughts. This dream was realized for myself and for me by our compatriot, my countryman Fyodor Nikolayevich Yurchikhin.

– Our Fedor calls from space to his parents in Thessaloniki and speaks to them in our native language of the Romani Greeks of Pontus.

– With pleasure, if he calls me from space, I will support our conversation in his native language and me. Imagine how great it is, Russian General Yakim Yanakov and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin speak to each other in their native language of their ancestors from the proud and sacred Pontus.

– …What does the word patriotism mean to you?

– …Look what is happening around us. Lack of morality. Low culture. Fraud and embezzlement. Hypocrisy and lies. A layer of nouveaux riches living in flagrant luxury. The greed of rulers. Their children and wives are morally decomposed. A glaring gap between the rich and the poor (beggars). Upstart majors disgrace the country. … We have robbed millions – invest them in production, in creating jobs! The public needs to be raised, but in Russia it is, alas, dead. There is no civil society in Russia. This, in addition to all the obvious economic difficulties, is the most terrible misfortune. People, through their public institutions, must strictly control the government so that it does not “reign”, but serves the people, does not decay. For the people to demand from the leaders they have elected. Patriotism is professionalism, faithful service to the Fatherland, so that there are no lies and populism, mediocre agitprop. …Patriotism is a professional parliament without “singers” and “sportsmen”, it is before the law that everyone should be equal. Despite all this, I remain an incorrigible optimist. We will clean our Russia from all this “garbage”. Good will conquer evil. This is biblical truth…

– …Our Greece will rise from its knees?

– Greek politics needs national leaders who will think and act day and night for the good of the country, not their parties and clans.

– Do you believe in the great future of Russia?

– We have no other way. Either Russia will be great or it will be pulled away in the same way as it was with the USSR in December 1991. There are enough people who want to “sell their homeland”. It should be added that great Russia is not only a powerful army and navy, the best missiles in the world, being leaders in space, but also a decent life for its citizens. Either that, or another Russian revolt senseless and merciless.

– The collapse of the Soviet Union is your personal tragedy…

– Yes, for me it is still an unhealed wound. Could the country be saved? Undoubtedly! If Gorbachev and Yeltsin shoved their petty “I” into a distant box. So much for the notorious role of the individual in history. Wrong ruler. We are reaping the year 1917. Further 1991. Almost lost Russia in the 1990s.

– … Last parting words to our compatriots.

– Love our people, their history and culture, our traditions and customs, be bearers of historical memory, which has many tragic pages. To be a Greek is, believe me, a lot of obligations. We have many of our compatriots, our contemporaries, the living and the departed, whom we can rightfully be proud of. Odysseus Dimitriadi, Theoharis Kessidi, Victor Sarianidi, Alexander Zguridi, Fyodor Yurchikhin, Hristo Takhchidi…

In this Greek list of our honor and pride, we will supplement it with the names of the great scientist Georgy Ksandopulo, generals Andrey Vuraka and Yakim Yanakov, Admiral Mikhail Khronopulo, artist Elena Kamburova, scientist Gavriil Popov, as well as our other outstanding compatriots.

Yakim Ivanovich Yanakov. Soviet and Russian military commander. Patriot of Russia and Greece. A story about a real person, about the fate of a Greek.

Nikos Sidiropoulos. Moscow.

P . S . Our compatriot passed away on the day of mourning and sorrow on June 22, 2017. On this day, we, hundreds of thousands of Greeks from the former Soviet space, bowing our heads deeply for those who died during the holy war, bow to the memory of our outstanding compatriot General Yakim Yanakov, who faithfully served our Fatherland.

He was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery next to the army general, soldier of the Holy War, Fatherland Valentin Varennikov.
