School for 4 year old near me: Preschool Programs for Ages 3

What Should a 4-Year-Old Know Before Starting School?

Recognizing Letters & Numbers

Academics are the most integral part of early learning. Although your child will know about A-Z alphabets, and counting to up to 50 by the end of school, help them recognize things in advance. This will help them kick-start their learning.

Whenever you’re watching TV, playing games, or reading a book with them, point out random letters and see if your kid can guess them. They don’t have to know the counting or ABC in sequence; that’ll be done in the school, but they should be able to recognize some of them.

There are many interactive games on the internet and you can also buy several charts to make early learning easy for your child before he/she goes to preschool. This will ensure they don’t stay behind in the class.

Eating & Table Manners

Even if your 4-year old won’t be eating at school, there’s a chance they’ll be served some snacks. You don’t want them to lose their self-esteem when they cannot hold the fork right while their class fellows are eating everything with ease.

So, teach some of the basics like using a spoon, plastic fork, putting straw inside the juice box, opening snack packs, and using a tissue to wipe their face and hands, and so on.

Identifying & Sorting Objects, Shapes, & Colors

Your child should be able to sort, differentiate and organize different objects, shapes, and colors. They don’t have to be very accurate every time, but familiar enough to get most of the things right. These are critical foundational skills that your child will need to do well in the classroom, especially when different coloring and sorting games are being played.

If they are familiar with the concept, they’ll go past the learning curve faster and develop interest in learning more. You can help your child with this by asking them about the shapes of different objects around you or when you’re outside. Do the same with colors but also get them paint sets and coloring books to experiment with and learn on their own.

Using the Potty

Although this depends on the preschool as some don’t even require your child to be potty-trained, you need to do this for your kid, not for the school’s requirements. This will save them from a world of embarrassment and keep them from being called names because they relieved themselves in the pants once.

Firstly, teach your child to communicate with the teacher whenever they need to go, make it clear that it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Then, teach them how to clean themselves and not rely on anyone else.

However, train them for potty with gentleness and patience, do not hurry them or else they may start getting anxious whenever they need to go, which can result in hiding it from the teachers.

Parting Words:

We’re believe not you know the answer to ‘what should a 4-year-old know before starting school?’ Just make sure to start their grooming and teaching process a few months before the preschool.

Be gentle and patient with your little one – he/she will start picking up things quickly. Also, keep everything in regular practice so they don’t forget anything when it’s finally time to attend school.

Earthquake kills 7,000 in Turkey and Syria

Earthquake death toll continues to rise in Turkey and Syria. At the moment, 6,234 people are officially dead in Turkey, and 1,250 people in Syria. More than 37 thousand are injured.

I don’t know what to say, I don’t know how I should feel under the rubble and rubble. As you can hear and see, we are 3-4 families here, next to me are our neighbors.

Recording this video, its author did not yet know if he would survive. Now he is safe.

On the morning of February 8, the total death toll from the powerful earthquake in Turkey and Syria is already approaching 7,500 people.

The Russian Embassy in Ankara receives numerous inquiries from Russian citizens who have difficulty in establishing contact with relatives, as well as requests to assist in the search for Russians.

An official response has been received to LenTV24’s request.

At the embassy, ​​all such appeals are carefully recorded and immediately transferred to the Turkish authorities for prompt response. Unfortunately, at this stage, the Turkish authorities, given the scale of the tragedy, are often deprived of the opportunity “in real time” to inform us about the fate of a particular citizen, as well as the presence of Russians among the dead.

Ildar Safiullov, a traveler from Togliatti, miraculously managed to leave his apartment at the time of the collapse of the house, he was able to take only a blanket with him, and then he invited one of the locals to his minibus. The tragedy rallied previously unfamiliar people.

Even as evil and the rain went. So bundled up and standing in the rain, the benefit of some peasant in a minibus called. The minibus stood next to it, people were already sitting there. The driver went back and forth on his own business, checked on relatives, drove to the hospital, then he took everyone, from where we left in the morning.

People felt the echoes of the earthquake even in the north-west of Turkey. Guzel Amirova, an artist from St. Petersburg, is now in Antalya and calls on her compatriots to join the collection of humanitarian aid for the victims.

There is a great need for tents, warm clothes, people are afraid to return to their homes, the roads are destroyed, it is very difficult to leave the regions, there are huge traffic jams.

And this is an appeal from Istanbul from a local resident.

Damage to some roads, airport. All this can become for us the main catastrophe of the century. Now it is important to understand that everyone is still in danger: children, adults, pets and just animals – cats, dogs. I want to thank the Russian people. Because many rescuers, search engines were mainly from Russia. Thank you very much.

Bulent Kaya, resident of Istanbul

Together with the Red Cross, the brother of our colleague Yusuf Alibrahim went to help his compatriots, he is studying in St. Petersburg to become a feature film director. All his relatives and friends are now in Syria.

There are no cars to help find people under the rubble. Time is more precious here, you need to save faster while they are alive, not dead.

Yusuf Alibrahim, student

11 of my relatives died! My aunt lived on the first floor and my uncle lived on the second. After the earthquake around six in the morning they were fine, they went home and I went to take pictures. Two hours later I was told that the house had collapsed, but they remained inside.

In the rain, under any circumstances, we must save these people. Imagine that your house is crumbling before your eyes. This is what happened in northern Syria. We need your help!

In the meantime, tears of grief coexist with tears of joy. After the miraculous rescue of the baby, whose footage has already spread all over the world, another miracle happened: an entire family was pulled out from under the rubble. Adults and three children spent 36 hours between life and death.

This is my city: the leader of the “Moral Code” group Sergey Mazaev

Anastasia Medvetskaya

08. 02.2023

About the main restaurants and clubs of the nineties “White Cockroach”, “Pilot”, Tabula Rasa, “Giusto” and “Belgrade-2”, about his love for visitors and about the concert of the “Moral Code” » at the 1930 Moscow club.

I was born and raised…

The childhood home remains only in my memory — it was demolished in 1972.

I was born in the same yard with the great Vladimir Vysotsky, “the house on 1st Meshchanskaya at the end.” A one-story building that belonged to the Abrikosov estate. It was given to my grandfather when at 19In the afternoon of 42, a bomb hit his house.

When I was born, it was no longer the 1st Meshchanskaya, but Mira Avenue. Stalinist houses were built by German prisoners.

Now there stands the Church of the Sign of the Mother of God, where I was baptized. If you drive towards Sokolniki along the Third Ring Road through Rizhskaya Square, it is on the right. Previously, of course, there was no overpass. Around the metro station “Rizhskaya” there was a one- and two-story district: opposite there was a huge square full of chestnuts, and in the center there was a flower bed, which was carefully looked after by local workers – it was always in flowers. In a circle there were old shops with cast-iron legs – young people sat on them. The Riga railway station functioned with might and main – ice cream and sparkling water were sold around.

I lived there until I was 12, then we were moved to Zander Street. And our microdistrict was destroyed and made there, as it seemed at that time, a step into the future – they put up fourteen-story towers, which, of course, now look very modest.

When I was in my teens, the guys and I hung out at the Lel cafe and the Polar Bear ice cream parlor on Shcherbakovskaya, now Alekseevskaya. In fact, there were no special points. To do this, you need to be an adult with your money – we were beggars, we tried to kiss schoolgirls.

There was music in my life: back at Rizhskaya, in the 392nd school, a senior pioneer leader came to our class and invited those who wanted to become buglers and drummers, I volunteered with a number of friends and went to the House of Pioneers – between Argunovskaya and Novomoskovsk this building still stands, but it was liquidated as the House of Youth Creativity. Now there, obviously, some developers are fighting for the site in order to build a profitable business. What about children? Let them learn on the street.

I ended up in this circle — Daniil Matveyevich Chertok, an outstanding teacher, took me to the orchestra — I wanted to learn the trumpet, but he said: the flute. There my cool mischievous youth began – every summer we went to the pioneer camp “Zorka”, the best pioneer camp in the Soviet Union. He was under the Ministry of Industry. And I, a very simple boy, got there thanks to the orchestra that served their morning lines. And every day we accompanied the formations. Then I was handed over to Natan Anatolyevich Vesely, the first clarinetist of the Operetta Theatre. He distracted me, a post-pubertal boy, from the street and carried me away with clarinet lessons. As a result, I was the only one from the class of our physics and mathematics school who did not enter a technical university, but went to a music school, then to the army and university. That Moscow no longer exists – I can’t visually return to my homeland, I can only go into the temple where my grandmother secretly baptized me, and the House of Pioneers is still standing.

Of course, the most sacred places are in the center. I started going to classes with my senior orchestra comrades, who studied at the conservatory, for pedagogical practice – they needed students from the outside, whom they presented as their own. When I first appeared at the conservatory, it was an incomprehensible state of spiritualization. It seemed to me that it was just a magical building, I dreamed of going there to study, but, unfortunately, it didn’t work out: after the army, I went to the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Economics.

Moscow in the 1990s…

We had one apartment – socialite Nina (Sasha Oleinikov remembers her better), there were gatherings. Then the “White cockroach” appeared, we opened the “Pilot” club. Tabula Rasa has begun.

Since 1985, I have been working in the most central restaurants – “Belgrade-2” was an important point where all the secular parties of that time gathered – speculators, girls of easy virtue. The brightest club of the nineties, of course, Giusto, which was opened by Andrey Kobzon, is the most secular and fashionable place for me.

Now I live…

As I fell in love with the area of ​​the conservatory — Nikitsky and Tverskoy Boulevards, I have been living there for 25 years — on Malaya Bronnaya. Amazing area: you go out and overflow with joy for the young people who come here to walk and hang out – there are a huge number of cafes. Very peaceful place. Here, of course, they keep order very strictly – the police come with riot police, patrols are constantly walking.

Cleaning, of course, in yards is very bad, according to the residual principle, in contrast to the streets. Because people working in our housing and communal services have nothing to do with the district and do not understand how it should look like. I would return a specific housing and communal services system, when each janitor is responsible for his own piece of land: we used to have it like that – we communicated very well, warmed it up with gifts on holidays, in winter, when it snowed, we threw money. And everything turned out very clean and comfortable – at home, in Moscow. And now strangers are working: it seems to me that even this work is strangers. Competence is not the reason for hiring. Accordingly, people work carelessly: put a cross – report to the authorities. For example, the fact that a huge amount of this reagent is poured is a completely illiterate story: when it softened the ice crust, it must be removed, it should not lie on the streets and spoil shoes all winter. In our country, this is done by residents of Central Asia, who find it difficult to understand.

But in general, I am happy: our apartment is ordinary, old stock, but the district!.. Of course, many of my colleagues and friends live in more luxurious apartments, I could too, but in a different district – in our very expensive, I still do not earn so much.

About Muscovites…

I am a Muscovite by birth. I don’t know what it’s like to feel different.

I really love people who move to Moscow.
