We have switched daycares after coming here for 7 months. We are so glad that we switched daycares. Some of the issues include limited nutritious food options, and my child coming home with diaper rashes constantly due to the diaper area not being cleaned well. The staff would also misplace or lose our items, and not provide enough pictures in the Procare app. when they said they would. One real big concern involves my child always getting bit… more

This preschool is a hidden gem. The facility is super clean and stacked with new furniture and plenty of toys. My daughter has learned so much over the last 6 months. Students are always engaged and learning new things on a daily basis. I love the fact that the owners are always present and involved in your child’s education.
The center is also great at communicating special events through their app and email.

The staging of the performance is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, it became possible thanks to the federal program “Culture of the Small Motherland”, as part of the “Theaters for Children” project. The performance became the first in the repertoire of the Samara Puppet Theater that touches on the theme of the Great Patriotic War. The action of the plot takes place during the Great Patriotic War, but the story does not tell about the war as such, it is only a circumstance, a test in which human qualities are manifested – kindness, compassion, love, friendship. The little city girl Valentinka experienced a terrible grief: the war made her an orphan, a refugee who has neither a roof over her head nor warm clothes.
But she was lucky and took pity on her and was sheltered by a simple village woman, mother of three children Daria Shalihina. At first, the girl shunned everyone, and Daria’s children did not accept her, but over time everything got better and the girl became a native in a new family. At the end, Valentinka pronounces the main word – mother, which she could not pronounce in any way, worrying and doubting whether she could call Daria that. Whereas the woman herself immediately determined the place of her daughter for her.
Premiered on November 24, 2019.

Went to see a performance today with children 9and 12 years! I liked it very much! A real work of art, without vulgarity, without hack work. Moderately sad, very good! About the most important thing in the world! About the warmth of human hearts! Both adults and children cried! The ending is good and happy. Thanks to the actors and director for their work!

Good evening, I want to express my gratitude to the actors who played in such a way that it took their soul, as well as to the Family and Childhood Support Club “Together” for today and for the opportunity to watch such a good and necessary performance, we were together with a 10-year-old son, if we say that we liked it, then say nothing. Emotions were such that there were no tears. Such productions are very important for all of us, I think no one left indifferent.

I liked everything very much. Thank you very much!!!
Very warm atmosphere, beautiful interior and most importantly – compliance with all protection requirements, proper seating! Thank you! Tiny First Temple find could be first evidence of biblical King Josiah’s dignitary – Lechaim
Givati Parking Lot in the City of David greatly expand our understanding of ancient Jerusalem in the late 7th century BC.
Two biblical Hebrew inscriptions were found separately from each other in a large building from the First Temple period by permanent members of the archeological team Ayala Rodan and Sveti Pnik. One of them is a bluish agate seal “(belonging to) Ikkar son of Matanyahu.” The other is an impression on clay of the seal “(belonging to) Nathan-Melech, the servant of the king.” Nathan-Melech is mentioned in the Second Book of Kings as an official at the court of King Josiah.
This imprint on baked clay is the first archaeological evidence of the reality of the biblical name Nathan-Melekh.
The inscriptions are “not just another discovery,” said archaeologist Dr. Ifta Shalev of the Israel Antiquities Authority. Rather, they “paint a much larger picture of that era in Jerusalem.” Although both discoveries are of great scientific value as inscriptions, their primary value is their archaeological context, Shalev said. “It is important not only that they were found in Jerusalem, but that they were found in their true archaeological context,” Shalev told The Times of Israel. Many other seals and seal impressions have been sold in the antiquities market without any knowledge of their provenance. This on-site find, according to Shalev, serves as “a link between the artifact and the real place where it was discovered” – a large two-story building from the First Temple era, which archaeologists believe is the administrative center.
“It’s not a coincidence that a seal and an impression of a seal were found here,” said Shalev.
According to archaeologist Professor Yuval Gadot of Tel Aviv University, in the 8th century BC, this area of the City of David became the administrative center of Jerusalem. A newly discovered two-story public building built of beautifully hewn stones illustrates the beginning of the westward movement of the administrative district in a large sprawling city. According to an IAA press release, the multi-roomed grand building shows clear signs of destruction in the sixth century BC, which likely corresponds to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC. The destruction is visible due to large fragments of stones, burnt wooden beams and numerous charred pottery shards, “all indicating that they survived a great fire.”
According to Shalev, a large administrative center is located lower down the slope of the city of David than the place where, according to some archaeologists, the city wall passed during the First Temple period. Through this evidence of a major administrative center, scholars are beginning to understand that Jerusalem began to expand westward during the Iron Age, a process that continued into subsequent historical epochs, including the Persian and Hellenistic periods.
“These artifacts testify to the highly developed system of government in the kingdom of Judah and add significant information to our understanding of the economic status of Jerusalem and its administrative system during the First Temple period, as well as personal information about the king’s closest officials and administrators who lived and worked in the city,” – Gadot and Shalev said in an IAA press release.
For linguists, a couple of centimeter inscriptions also open up new scientific horizons. Based on the handwriting, Dr. Anat Mendel-Geberovich of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Center for the Study of Ancient Jerusalem dates them to the mid-7th to early 6th century BC. On the blue stone seal, it says “(belonging to) Ikkar son of Matanyahu”. According to the IAA, private seals were used to sign documents and denote the identity, origin, and status of their holders. According to the Hebrew Language Academy, the word “ikkar”, meaning “peasant”, is found in the Bible and other Semitic languages.
However, it is only used as a position designation and not as a personal name.
According to the linguist Chaim Rabin, the word “ikkar” came to Hebrew through the Akkadian language, from the Sumerian language, which is not a Semitic language. Mendel-Geberovich believes that “Ikkar” refers to a personal name, and not to a profession. If so, this is the first evidence of the existence of such a name. Other parts of the inscription are more familiar to Biblical Hebrew linguists: “Matanyahu’s name appears both in the Bible and on other seals and bulls that have already been found,” Mendel-Geberovich said.
What will be of general interest is the imprint of a seal on a piece of baked clay, on which are the words: “(belonging to) Nathan-Melech, the servant of the king.” The fact that his first name was written without a surname indicates that his fame was on the same level as contemporary celebrities such as singers Madonna or Adele. The name Nathan-Melech appears only once in the Bible, in verse 11 of chapter 23 of the Second Book of Kings.
The official at the court of King Josiah, the biblical Nathan-Melech, is mentioned when describing the religious reform: “and he abolished the horses that the kings of Judah set for the sun in front of the entrance to the house of the Lord near the chambers of Nathan-Melech, and burned the official of the chariot of the sun with fire.” While a different title is used in the biblical account than the one imprinted on the baked clay, the title “King’s Servant” often appears in the Bible to describe a high-ranking official close to the king.
According to the IAA, the name appears on other seals and seal impressions that have been found in the past. In ancient times, seal impressions, or bullae, were small pieces of clay that were imprinted with personal seals (such as the Ikkara seal) in place of a signature. But is the Biblical Nathan-Melech the same? It’s still a matter of interpretation.
Doron Spielman, vice president of the City of David Foundation, which manages the City of David National Park, said: “This is an extremely exciting find for billions of people around the world.
