My son just left Second Mom Day Care after almost two years of wonderful care, he started when he was just about two but she takes even small babies. Dolma is loving and the children all love her so much. She lets the children be themselves and doesn’t force anything, my son never napped (it just isn’t his style) and she sat with him and read to him while the other children slept. Her home is clean and the back yard is set up for kids to play. I HIGHLY recommend Dolma of Second Mom Day Care! Dolma’s number is: 510/356-4605 Molly

April 2014

Both of my boys attended Second Mom daycare before they went to preschool. Dolma has been a great caretaker, and I was sad to move them on into preschool. She is very kind and gentle. My first son came home learning new things each week (he was 2 when he started). My second son had some problems hitting and biting and she was patient and helped teach him how to be nice to others. (He was having these problems at home, and she even helped me figure out ways to work on it at home with his older brother. It was great!) My kids loved going to her house, too, and always point it out when we drive by. Dawn

My son was very happy at Second Mom Daycare. Rinzin Dolma is very caring and provides a very loving environment. Her house is set up so the kids have their own area that is soft, colorful, and safe. She also had a nice back and front yard where the kids can run around, play, climb, and explore. The kids also had trips to the local park and even ate picnic lunches outside in warm weather. Dolma provided healthy foods and snacks too. I always felt my son was well cared for and Dolma really was like his second mom. happy mom

Dolma of Second Mom Daycare is wonderful and, if we hadn’t moved to Pacifica, my daughter would have stayed there for many more years. Dolma and her assistant Marlin were the only people that my daughter consistently greeted with smiles and hugs. They were her first experience with daycare it was such a blessing to rely on them to take such good care of her. Dolma’s home is very clean, beautifully set up for kids to romp around in and she has a large playroom with a divider so the active toddlers are separate from the babies. Meals are very healthy, with many organic options. She is very comfortable preparing breastmilk bottles as well as formula. She also has a great big backyard and plenty of outdoor activities when the weather permits (water play, sand table, playgym with slide, etc.). Her home is very close to a park so they often walk the kids over to play. She is always very warm, very safe and I couldn’t dream of a better daycare provider for the choosy parent. We were very sad to move away but so grateful for such a quality childcare experience. Dolma and Marlin are the best!

I am writing to express my most sincere gratitude for the tenderness and care Rinzin Dolma, of Second Mom Day Care, has shown to my son, who has been with her since he was almost two years old until now (he is just over three) and to recommend her without reservation to anyone who may read this. During Dolma’s care, my son underwent the most difficult transition a child could endure at any age. Dolma’s patience, understanding and tenderness helped my little boy through this confusing and scary period and provided all the stability and nurturing he continued to need in great measure. Today, my son is happy and well adjusted and knows his colors, his numbers and how to play nicely with others. It has also been a pleasant surprise to me that he has learned the Tibetan words for ‘gentle’ and ‘mother’ which he still uses.

I am somewhat wistful at his transition from Dolma’s loving care to preschool, but I will always think fondly of the generosity of spirit she has shown my family and will never forget this special period of his young life, in which Dolma played an integral part.

As working parents, it is challenging (and sometimes nerve wracking) to find reliable daycare, in a safe, secure, and comfortable environment. If you are looking in the Richmond Annex area, then Dolma at Second Mom Daycare should be first on your list.

Dolma came highly recommended to us from a family in our playgroup who had sent both of their sons to her. My son has been going for approximately 14 months, since he had just turned 2. He’s made many buddies, has a great play environment (inside and outside) as well as a structured daily routine, which was important to us. Additionally, Dolma provides healthful, organic meals all day long.

Dolma is nurturing, kind, patient, and loving, and we, and our son, are lucky to have found a home away from home with Second Mom Daycare.

June 2011

I highly recommend Second Mom Day Care. Each day Dolma opens the door, my daughter squeals with delight, for she (and I) know(s) she will spend the day playing, singing, and squealing. Each day, Dolma leaves me a note that includes my daughter’s naptimes, food choices, and potty breaks. As a working mother, I know what my daughter is doing when I’m not there. Most importantly, I know that she is loved and adored; we are so thankful to have our second mom, Dolma.

April 2011

I would like to recommend Dolma who owns Second Mom Daycare in the Richmond Annex. Dolma and her assistant have cared for my son for the last year and half since he was four months old. They are loving, calm, professional and hard working. My son is so happy under Dolma’s care and loves playing with the other children. As working parents we feel secure and at ease that he is getting focused and attentive care in a safe, clean and fun environment. In addition, she provides wonderful, organic meals for the children. We learned about Second Mom Daycare through some mutual friends in the neighborhood who sent both their children to Dolma. They had a wonderful experience with both children. If you are considering home-based care in the El Cerrito / Richmond Annex area we highly recommend Dolma!

Nov 2010

I HIGHLY recommend Dolma, owner of Second Mom Daycare, in Richmond Annex on the border with El Cerrito. I searched far and wide, interviewed 15+ providers and was not comfortable leaving my baby with any of them…and then I found Dolma. She is warm, energetic, nurturing and has abundant patience. My baby feels secure, comforted and well provided for when he’s with her. Dolma and her friend/assistant are just wonderful and take their time making sure everyone is comfortable according to their own individual needs. Her house is perfectly suited for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. She has a dividing gate that separates the main room to keep the littlest ones safe when the older ones (toddlers and preschoolers) are there too. She serves incredibly healthy, organic meals, but will modify anything according to the parents’ specifications. I also breastfeed and she is very encouraging and always makes sure breastmilk is stored properly and fed to my baby exactly as I request. She is the best and I feel so blessed that I found her. I believe she has a few openings now and takes babies from birth.

Kindergarten teacher – a second mother or someone else’s aunt?

Publication date: 11/28/2018 17:59

Almost every child in his life goes through a special social stage – a kindergarten, which is a second home for some, and a house of imprisonment for others. How to avoid the second option?
Every mother wants her child to be treated well in the kindergarten, so that the teacher becomes a “second mother”, gives the first life experience. And on what this experience will be, the further independent steps of the young talent depend.
Being a teacher means loving children. In a sense, the child lives in the soul of the educator all his life. Such kind and experienced teachers can be found in the kindergarten and school “Scarlet Sails”.

Are all teachers the same?

• Classic teacher

The teacher of the classical type is the most common. Such a teacher loves children, but without much trepidation, and is more impressed by quiet children. In her classes, she prefers to follow standards, without introducing anything new into the development of children.

• Veteran caregiver

These are preschool teachers who have gone through fire, water and copper pipes. A distinctive feature of such an educator is strictness towards children and their parents. The vast Soviet labor experience comes to the fore, crowding out novelty and enterprise.

• Young teacher

A young teacher can be called a girl after graduation, who is full of energy and desire to gain experience. It is often easier for such a teacher to establish contact with the wards, since there is still no ground for comparison.

• Educator by vocation

All parents, no doubt, would like to see a “second mother” next to their child, in whom the child will find support, support and find a friend. Such a teacher is an example to follow, he often talks heart to heart with the guys, and they, in turn, gain positive experience, grow up and begin to understand what is good and what is bad.

Such teachers work in the staff of the private kindergarten “Scarlet Sails”. They engage in creativity with kids, develop speech and expand vocabulary, instill various useful skills in self-care: they teach children to dress, play and put away toys, ask to go to the toilet. They are engaged with kids in a foreign language and dancing, they teach to build relationships with other people. And all this is done with great love and desire.

• Exception caregivers

There are also exceptional specialists: they are not intended to work with children at all, and they agreed to this work for various family or social reasons. Such a teacher seems to the children as a “stranger aunt”: she does not show interest in the personality of the child, is not an assistant in education, sometimes she is “not in the mood”, which is very sensitively noticed by little pupils.

It is important for a child to have a listener in the form of an educator, to whom one can always turn for help. And this relationship “teacher-child” is very important for the further understanding of the world of the baby. Children go to the sensitive teachers of the best kindergartens in Moscow with an open mind.

A good teacher is the key to a child’s future success!

Kindergarten is the second home, and the teacher is the second mother – News of municipalities of the Sverdlovsk region

September 27 is the Day of the teacher and all preschool workers in Russia.

The great Russian writer M. Gorky wrote: “To love children is what a chicken can do. But to be able to educate them is a great thing that requires talent. Indeed, in most cases, real enthusiasts of their work work in the field of preschool education, creative and talented people who sincerely love children and their work.

On the eve of the holiday, we met with Anastasia Bushmakina, Galina Sageeva and Alexandra Gutman, teachers of kindergarten No. 7, and once again made sure that the kindergarten teacher is a person whose role in a child’s life can hardly be overestimated. This is the first teacher after the mother that children meet on their life path. People of this profession daily give their pupils sincere love and maternal care.

Our interlocutors are very different in age, length of service, and character, but seeing how children’s eyes burn, how attentively they listen to their educators, with what joy they run to meet them, you understand that it is not in vain that educators are called second mothers, and kindergarten – a second home.

Anastasia Bushmakina, who has been working as an educator for 7 years (and all this time with the youngest pupils of the kindergarten, whose age is from 1.5 to 3 years old!), the word “mother” is heard much more often from the children of the group than his name, at least in the first six months or a year after the baby arrives in kindergarten. And then she becomes Nastya, because it can be quite difficult for kids to pronounce Anastasia Viktorovna. By the way, Nastya, she remains for the children until their graduation from kindergarten. The teacher admits that she is very pleased when she meets her former pupils on a walk and they greet her with the whole group and shout: “Nastya!” So we can say that all the kindergarten kids go through Nastya’s hands, knees and, of course, her heart.
– Working with such kids has its own difficulties, especially during the period of adaptation, when they just came to kindergarten, but what joy I experience when the guys have grown up, have begun to speak well, go to the group with pleasure, – says Anastasia Viktorovna , specifying at the same time that she was very lucky with the assistant teacher. – We work together with Natalya Viktorovna Abzalova, and her help in the group is invaluable.

Galina Sageeva now has a preparatory group – the oldest children in the kindergarten. For eighteen years of experience as an educator, this will already be her 5th graduation.
– I like the atmosphere of the kindergarten. I want to come here, because there is a lot of warmth and joy here. You constantly learn something from children, you take something new for yourself, – Galina Nikolaevna shares her thoughts with us. It is very important to accept children for who they are. The children’s world is much more interesting and richer than the adult’s world. The main thing for me as an educator is not to destroy this childish spontaneity, the individuality of the child, but to preserve it, to learn to speak the same language with children, to understand them. Love for children cannot be replaced by any pretense – they catch the difference right away. Children fall in love easily, but it is unusually difficult to keep their love, reciprocity is necessary here.

Alexandra Gutman , the teacher of the senior group of the kindergarten, seemed to have stepped off the podium – bright, beautiful, charming. According to colleagues, Alexandra Sergeevna has not only external beauty, she has exactly such spiritual qualities that a kindergarten teacher should have. Alexandra is very gentle and kind. Her love of life and optimism are transmitted to everyone around her, and above all to her pupils.
– I have been working as a teacher for only one year, but my work experience in kindergarten is already long, – Alexandra Sergeevna smiles. – I was an assistant teacher for 6 years, studied at the same time, and when I graduated from an educational institution in the direction of “Preschool education”, I moved to the position of an educator. It cannot be said that it was my dream since childhood, but the choice of profession was not accidental. Many years ago, I happened to be a counselor at the Beryozka health camp, where I worked in a detachment with young children. It was then that I realized that working with children is very interesting, I like it and I should try my hand. I am sure that I made the right choice, because when you see the children’s eyes wide open towards me, greedily catching my every word, look and gesture, ready to contain the whole world, you realize the full responsibility of what you are doing.
